When washing lace curtains, put them to soak in cold water over night. Change the water several times in the morning, then put on to boil in clean cold water with borax, a teaspoonful to a quart; boil 15 minutes; then rinse in several waters until perfectly clean. Never wring curtains in the hands, as they are easily torn. Rinse out silk stockings im soap- suds before wearing them, and after | each wearing; they wiil last much longer. Cold water and naphtha soap should be used. Dip cheese and plum pudding in parafiine and it will keep moist in- definitely. Use a garden trowel for packing ice and salt in the ice cream freezer. Instead of sewing up a stuffed fowl use tooth picks, and lace the siring back and forth; the tooth picks and string may be easily removed without tearing the fowl. Wet the edge of the lower crust of pastry when putting in fruit in a ple. It keeps the juices from escaping. Beets dropped in cold water after boiling may be easily peeled; the skins slip off with a touch. A tablespoonful of coffee to a gravy will add color when the sauce lacks the caramel color. Put your azaleas, buried in the ground in their pots in the sun, water- ing every night all summer and in the winter you will be rewarded with plenty of blooms. Rub soap into the nails when work- ing in the garden and when the hands are washed there will be no stained nails. Thread in a box or basket often causes much trouble by unwinding. Wrap the thread once around the spool and then under itself and it will not unroll, but can be used from the * ‘spool. foo Thread to be used in making button- holes should be 20 sizes coarser than that used in making the garment. For example, if 80 thread is used for the garment, 60 should be used for the buttonholes. Gaelic Alphabet. Men familiar with the Gaelic tongue tell us that the alphabet of that an- | cient language is the most curious of all alphabets, in that nearly every let- ter is represented by a tree. The al- phabet of today comprises eighteen letters; ancient Gaelic had seventeen. Now, as of old, all the letters with the exception of g, t and p, which stand for ivy, furze and heather, are called after trees. The Gaelic a b ¢ now runs Ailm, beite, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath, huath, iogh, luis, muin, nuin, oiv,: peith, ruis, suil, teine, ur, which is; equivalent to saying: Elm, birch, ha-. zel, oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whitehorn, lew, rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spin- dletree, pine, elder, willow, furze, heath. In the ancient Gaelic alphabet the letter h (the huath, or whitethorn). does not exist. The alphabet is called the beth-luig-nuin, because b, 1, n and not a, b, c, are its first three letters. Love and Grammar. Some (ime ago a New York business man, who is blessed with an extreme- ly pretty daughter, took his family to England for an indefinite period, dur- ing which he was to establish British branches of his mercantile enterprises in that country. The charms of this young woman wrought much havoc in the rank and file of the men who met her abroad. She was sweet and gracious to all, but her heart, as well as her wit, be- longed to her native land. One day her father found her at her desk, knit. ting her brows over a letter, “What's the trouble, my dear?” he asked solicitously. “Father,” she responded dolefully, “I, must write another declension, but, nothing will induce me to conjugate untii I get back to the United States.” —Lippincott’s, Bachelors in Distress. The bachelors of ‘an unpronounce- able town in Hungary called Nagy- perkata are holding meetings of dis- tress and indignation. The town coun- cil at its last sitting unanimously voted that every unmatried man over the age of twenty-four must pay an annual tax. The thing is to be upon a sliding scale, poor bachelors having to pay but 40 cents and the wealthier as matrimonial delinquents a equipped home is going to be built in the town for the education and main- tenance of homeless children. The it is thought, will be ample to up the institution without other and the town council is well satis- aid, fied with its new enactment. 1 Emperor Who Remembered Whan He Reached the Throne. How Louis Napoleon Requited the Kindness Shown Him by Gen. Webb When He Was Pen- niless in America. J By E. J. EDWARDS. Nobody familiar with American his- tory is astonished to hear that a mill boy or a rail splitter or a canal mule {driver became in later years of their | lives presidents of the United States. | But to have been in poverty in New | York at one time and the emperor of france at another, at the head of the most dazzlingiy brilliant court of Eu- rope, involves a story which seems to belong to the realm of imagination | rather than fact. And yet imagination has no part in that history, as is proved by the hitherto unrecorded story | am | about to relate, and which was told to ime recently by Gen. Alexander 8S. Webb, hero ot civil war days, for many | years president of the College of the City of New York, and son of Gen. James Watson Webb, in his day one of the great Whigs, the most intimate friend of William H. Seward and a fa- | mous newspaper editor. “It was in 1856, | think, that my ta- ther was the host at a dinner given by him in the Astor house, which, at { that time, was the targest and most | fashionable of the hotels of New York,” said Gen. Webb. { “The dinner had not long been fin | progress when a servant brought to | my father a card. He looked at the | name it bore, was clearly puzzled for a moment, then excused himself and went to the hotel's reception room. i “There he was confronted by a young ‘man ol handsome and foreign appear- j ance. My [ather looked quizzically at | him and then at the card in his hand. “ ‘Yes, said the stranger, noting the | suspicious doubt that was in my fa | ther’s mind, ‘it 1s I who have sent you | that card. Gen Webb. | am he whose i ame is upon it. | "'‘You are Louis Napoleon? asked my father. | “'Yes, | am Louis i nephew of Bonaparte.’ | “Then, as the general continued to | look inquiringly at the young man, the latter went op “'l nave come 10 the United States | because | was exiled from France. | { have heard much of this country from | my uncle, who, you know, lived here {for a ime | have come here to see | what | can do to support myself. | ! have often heard your name and of your Kindness to strangers, and | thought | could commit myself to your friendly interests.’ * ‘Have you no means of livelihood?’ the general asked. | "'None, answered the nephew of | the great Bonaparte, ‘and 1 will tell ! you frankly that I am almost without money. If you could assist me in any | way, | should be very grateful, and some day it might be in my power to make full acknowledgment of my obii- | sation.’ “Impressed by the young man’s man- ner, my father, after a little further | conversation, not only promised to ; help Louis Napoleon, but also took him to the banquet room and there intro- duced the exile to the guests. Sev- eral times thereafter he advanced Na- poleon iunds and furthermore under- took to find him congenial employ- ment. Indeed, all through Napoleon's short stay in the country the general was his benefactor, and a day or so before he returned to France he thanked my father for his great kind- ness and repeated his promise to re- pay the loans when the sun should shine again for him. “Thirty years later the general, who had been sent to the empire of Brazil i i | Napoleon, the Lincoln, decided to return home for a vacation. He had to reach this coun- try by way of Europe, there beimg no direct line of steamers between any of our ports and Brazil. So, in due time, he landed at Calais with his family, and there ‘took a train to Paris, in or- der to make a short stay in that city before taking passage for New York. “The train had not proceded far on a telegram from his majesty the em- peror for Gen. James Watson Webb!’ “‘l am Gen. Webb, he said. and the message was handed to him. “He tore it open. Sure enough, it was a message from the emperor of France. It read: “‘Will you take breakfast with me very informally to-morrow at 12 o'clock at St. Cloud. 1 have just learned of your arrival at Calais.—Napoleon.’ “Napoleon III, emperor of France, had not forgotten the debt of gratitude that Louis Napoleon, the moneyless and friendless exile, owed to his bene- factor.” (Copyright, 1909, by E. J. Edwards.) it Gives Actors Away, “You can always tell how long an actor has been out of work.” The speaker, an actors, stroked his long mustache. “It is our long mustaches,” he said “that give us away. At work we must keep clean shaven. Once out of work, we start mustaches; for we love them; i. is our nature to love them, as it is woman's nature to love dress. “Lend money, if you will, to the actor with a young mustache. He but recently lost Mis job. No doubt he will soon hook up again. But. the actor with a long, luxuriant, droop ing mustache should be advised to take office as a hodcarrier, for his day is done on the hoards” NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY | as our minister there by President | its journey when the genera) heard a | guard calling out in French: ‘I have | geon in the army of the Mexican revolu- tionists, is now in San Francisco for a brief visit. Speaking of the causes under- lying the political unrest in Mexico and the revelution, Dr. Ruffo says: “It is an economic issue. That issue is the demand of the masses, the demand of the working classes for land of their own. i “Land has for years been the compen- sation of political workers in Mexico. As a result, politicians, men in power, and men who have done service at one time or another for the powers that be, hold enormously large pieces of land. “In fact, the greater part of Mexico's Jand is owned by such political leaders. Men who have played their part in poli- tics own hundreds and thousands of acres of fertile land. Capitalists and manufacturers also are heavy land own- ers “But the masses, the thousands and thousands of Mexico's populace who earn That is the seat of the trouble in Mexico. The awakening has come, and the work- ing classes are demanding enough for { each man to use as a farm for the sup- port of himself and his family. “Until such an apportionment of land occurs in Mexico political unrest cannot { be quelled.
