To Prevent Steel Rustinq.

Steel which has become rusty can
be cleaned by brushing it with paste
composed as follows: Half an ounce
of cyanide Of potassium, half an ounce
of CASTLE soap, an ounce of whiting
and water sufficient to form the paste.
The steel should be washed after the
paste has been applied, in solution
of half an ounce of cyanide of potas-
sium in two ounces of water. On the
other hand rust may be prevented on
steel parts by applying the following
mixture with a brush, just as if it
were varnish: One part caoutchouc.
16 parts turpentine. These ingredi-
ents must be dissolved in gentle
heat and then eight parts Of boiled
oil should be added. The whole is
now mixed by bringing them to boil
ing heat. This material may be re-
moved by the use of turpentine.

WOMAN BEGAN LONG DISPUTE
Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy Had
Its Origin in Book Published by
American Author.

The lOng-drawn-out controversy over
the authorship OF the Shakespearean
plays had it's origin in a remarkable
book written by an American woman,
Della Bacon, a native of Tallmadge,
O., with preface written by her
friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. She was
woman Of intense application and
capacity for esoteric study and her
book was the product of lifetime
spent in the feverish pursuit of her
hobby. Her book was entitled "The
Philosophy of the Plays of Shake
speare Unfolded," copies of which are
now rare, as it has long been out Of
print
The book is written in a very labori-
Gus style, difficult to read. Some Of
the sentences are three to four hun
dred words long, but the entire work
shows evidences of intense study of
the works of the poet and mastery
knowledge of the history of Shake
speare's period.
The intense obsessiOn with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life to tragic end. Becoming con-
vinced that Shakespeare's secret was
hidden in his tomb at Stratford, she
went to reside there to confirm her re-
searches. She was found one mid
night at the tomb, muttering incoher-
emily, and evidently making prepara-
tions to open the tomb in search of
concealed manuscripts which she be-
lieved had been inferred with the body
of the poet, beneath the cryptic in
scription, "Good friend, for Jesus
sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed
here" She was removed to an asylum.

WingO Succeeds in De-
 feating Bill in House

Washington, May 3.-A speech by Representative Wingo of Arkansas in the house today was held responsible for the defeat of bill reported favor ably by the house immigration com mittee and ostensibly having the in- dorsement of Republican leaders. MT. Wingo's speech resulted in full Democratic vote and sufficient votes from the Republican side to defeat the measure. laHa1 ,tu&;F&asfN2 "t'A
 The. bill provided for the granting Of American citizen ship to ;EasliA Fischer of New York. I. Fischer took out first papers in 1901, but since that time has not lived five con- secutive years in this country and was not entitled to naturalization under the law. '."t
 Chairman Seigel of the Immigration Committee and author of the bill, said that Fischer was engaged to marry but that the girl would not marry him unIeSS ne became an American cltl- zen. That statement lost the vote of Miss Alice Robertson, woman member l from Oklahoma, who afterwards said the woman should emulate Ruth in the Bible and adopt as her attitude, "Whe- ther thou goest, I will go."
 MT. Wingo declared the passage of the bil! would mean the embarkine on a proposition that violates in spirit haraSs and embarass every member Of Congress. He voiced strenuous ob- lection to granting naturalization as a special favor by speciaI act of Con- gress in violation of specific inhibi- tiCn ill the constitution.

MOTHERS DAY.
Methodist Pastor Pays Tribute to the
 Mothers.

I am glad that our great govern
 ment has set apart one day in the year when the sons and daughters of the earth can turn aside from the busy affairs of life to honor mother. We owe it to them. They never cease to
 honor us as long as they are ill the | world The Bible says that Hannah
 honored Samuel by presenting him a little coat every year when she and
 her husband went up to offer their yearly sacrifice. Hannah was a model
 mother One of the greatest blessings
 God has given to man on earth is Christian mother. Miss Anna Jarvis
 of Philadelphia did beautiful and
 fitting thing when number of years
 ago she set apart a day to honor her
 mother. The appropriateness of such
 a day was soon recognized by others,
 and Mothers Day has rapidly grown
 into favor until it is quite generally
 observed. It is suggested that on UUlS udy llc WIllIc Cdl lctClOll io" Sl be worn in honor of mother. Of all flowers this seems to be the most ap- propriate It's color stands for purity its form for beauty; it's fragrance for love; it's lasting quality for faithful ness. All these are the attributes of mother.
 fJn ,0fh of 1c old world When Solomon's mother appeared before him as he sat upon the throne to plead for Adonijah, he arose and bowed unto her, and gave her seat at his right hand
 The first thing that James A. Gar field did after taking the oath of of was to kiss his aged mother, and the 1. Nation loved him the better for doing so.
 Drummond said Love is the greatest thing in the world" A mothers love is said to be next to the love of God in greatness. A father may turn his back upon his child; brothers and sis ters may become enemies; husbands may desert their wives and wives their but true mother will never cease to love her child in her last hours when all things of the earth are Then she will exclaim in the language of the poet:
 GO for my wandering boy tonight; go search for him where you will; but bring him to me. with all his blight, and tell him love him still"
 E'"'My dear friend, if your mother is living, don't fail to tell her if she is near, or write her if you are away, and tell her that you love her. If your mother is dead, don't fail if pos sible to visit her grave on Mothers Day and deposit flower in token of your love. The father may be the head of the home, but mother is the heart. The character of the home desS bends more un the Influence ef the Mother than on anyone else The moth CT in her office holds the key to the soul, and she it is who stamps the coin | of character, and by her love and noble | life makes him who would be sav- age a Christian man.
