TIPS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.
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.”

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

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

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.”

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”

“It is an economic issue. That issue
is the demand of the masses, the demand

i “Land has for years been the compen-

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
