HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Spots on paint which cannot he stirred by soap and water will vanish beneath a rag dipped in washing soda or am monia. Bedclothes should often be exposed to the direct rays of the sun. It gives them a sweetening that is promotive of quiet rest and sleep. It is said that two ounces of perman ganate of potash thrown into a cistern when the water has become foul will purify it completely. Try renovating brass chandeliers which have become dirty and discol ored by washing them with water in which onions have been boiled. A good broom holder may be made by putting two long screws or nails into the wall about six feet from the ground. Drop the broom between them handle down. Rugs, mats or carpets can be cleaned thoroughly by generously sprinkling on them yellow cornmeal that has been well dampened in clean soapsuds or weak ammonia water. Sweep off in a few minutes.* To use oil of red cedar as a moth preventive pieces of cotton batting should be wet with the oil and placed in closets and * drawn or tied in the mouths of bags holding garments or bedding. WfiNlilnir Valuable Rngn. A writer in Good Housekeeping urges ngainst tlie practice of putting vulu alile rugs on the Hue every two or three weeks and heating the dust and, one is almost tempted to say, the very life out of them. Perhaps this Is not gen erally known: "When the surface be comes soiled, it can he washed with no fear of injuring the colors, since the majority of oriental rugs are washed repeatedly before reaching this coun try, and the dyes used are thereby mellowed and enriched. The best method of washing a largo rug is to stretch and tack it upon a clean floor, then scour it well with soap suds. Aft. er tlie scouring it must be thoroughly rinsed to remove all trace of the ani mal matter in the soap, after which it should not ho removed until it is per fectly dried. Then it will not shrink and will lie perfectly flat upon the floor. A small rug may be tacked upon tlie side of tlie house or barn, scoured as if on a floor and then rinsed with the hose." lie Jimt With Children. Be just with tlie children, and you will gain their respect. A broken will is about as useless as a shattered tea cup, while a strong will trained to obey is tlie most vulunble possession a child can have. Never threaten unless you intend to perform, and don't scold. Explain briefly to the child why it is at fault, punish at once and forgive freely, nev er referring to tlie mutter again. A smart, light slap is tlie most ef fective argument to use with a child under three or four. Except for cruelty or an exception ally gross fault an older child should never be touched. If a child Is persistently fractious and unreasonable, presume It Is ill and send it to bed and administer a dose of licorice powder. Sitting on a chair may seem n ridic ulously light punishment, hut if pun ishment is rare even a slight one is ef fective. An Afternoon Oat. The housekeeper who is without help Is especially in need of rest and recre ation. She should set apart an after noon, preferably in tlie middle of tlio week, und on the same day each week, for if not definitely lixed it will too often he postponed. This leisure time should he spent in rest or recreation, duty for the moment laid aside. Of course when possible these afternoons should he literally "out" in the fresh air and sunshine. On stormy days or when she is very tired a long nap or un interesting novel may refresh or umusc tlie weary worker. A good sto ry, read before an open fire, is always enjoyable. But when possible get away froin home, for usually change is the bust rest. Believe me, you will llud Gils a wise plan. And make your "ul't eruoon out" as long as you can. Read - the - Tribune. FOR THE CHILDREN Liquid Layern, Everybody knows that some liquids are lighter than others. But there is nothing like an actual experiment to Illustrate this important principle of physics to boys and girls or to grown people either for that matter. The experiment here described may be made by any careful young person, and it is well worth making, if only for the amusement it will afford. Get a tall wineglass and Into It pour cold sweetened coffee to a depth of half an Inch. Then make a cone of writing paper with a very small opening ut the lower end, und bend that end until it mukcs a right angle with the cone. Into the cone pour water very gently and care fully, so that it will pass out of the small end against the side of the glass and thence down on to the surface of the coffee. Muke another cone and through It pour a little claret wine, then through a fresh cone a little salad oil and through another fresh cone a little al cohol, making the depth of each liquid the same as that of the coffee and be ing careful to let them pour from the small end of the cone against the side of the glass and not directly down on the liquid already in the glass. Thus you will have live layers of liquid in the glass—brown, white, red, yellow and white—and by pouring them carefully, as has been directed, they will remain separate from each other simply because their specilii gravity is different. A Lovlnir Daughter. It Is told of Gustavus 111. of Sweden that one day while hunting he got sep arated from his attendants. Passing a spring, he saw a little girl Ailing her pitcher. Being very thirsty after his hunt, he asked her for a draft of the cool water. She gave him the pitcher, with u smile, and the king took a long draft. Giving her back the pitch er, he asked who she was and where she lived. The little girl gave him very modest answers to all his ques tions, and he was so pleased with her behavior that he offered to provide for her at his court, telling her at the same time who he was. But she refused, thanking him for so splendid an offer, for she said she had a sick mother, who had no one else to look after her and work for her. Gustavus asked if he might come and see the cottage where they lived, und tlie little maid led him to the wretched hut in which her mother lay. But the poor wotuan begged the king not to take away her only comfort— her little daughter. He was so struck with the child's devotion that when he went away, he gave the woman a purse full of gold, and u little while afterward he settled on her a com fortable pension, which was to be bcr daughter's after her death.—F. J. U. in Chatterbox. The Timid Kitten. There was a little kitten once Who wus of dogs afraid, And. being by no means a dunce, His plana he boldly made. He said: "It's only on the land That dogs run after me. So I will buy a catboat, and I*ll sail away to sea. "Out there from dogs I'll be secure, And each night erd I sleep, To make assurance doubly sure, A dog watch I will keep." He bought a catboat. hired a crew, Anil one tine summer day Triumphantly his flag he liew And gayly sailed away. But In mldocean one midnight— 'Twas very, very dark— The pilot screamed in sudden fright, "I hear a passing bark!" "Oh, what is that?" the kitten said. The pilot said, "I fear An ocean greyhound's just ahead And drawing very near!" "Alack!" the kitten cried. "Alack! This is no paltry pup! An ocean greyhound's on my track; I may as well give up!" —Carolyn Wells In St. Nicholas. A Clever Donkey. A few mornings ago, after a night of severe wind nud ruin, a worklngman was aroused by a scraping sound at the door of Ids cottage. On looking out lie found the noise was made by a strange donkey. He drove the animal awuy three times, but it returned each time and ut last added to the previous noise a plaintive moaning, showing as lila inly as it was able that he wus to follow it down the road. lie did so, and on reaching a clump of thick brushwood he saw u little foal entangled, which lie Immediately released. The mother donkey showed the greatest delight, licking and fon dling the little captive whom she had helped rescue so wonderfully.—Homo Notes. There Are No Cradles In Jnpnn. Japan docs not know the crndle. As Diogenes made a cup of ids hollow hand, thus the Japanese mother makes a cradle with the back of on older child, an ambulating, delightful cradle, where It stays from morning to night and is unrliythmically rocked, accord ing to the chances and sports which tile day offers to its patient and loving victim. Her own back of course is its Brst cradle.—Albert S. Aslimeud, M. D., in Science. Tlie Hnbhll'n Anecdote. "What is an anecdote?" asked the teacher. "A short funny tale," answered John ny. "That's right," said the teacher. "Now, Johnny, you may write a sen tence on the blackboard containing the word." Johnny hesitated a moment ami then wrote, "A rabbit has four legs pud one anecdote." NEW SHORT STORIES How Chnmberlaln Met Ml.. Kotlleoft. When Joseph Chamberlain came over to the United Stntos, one of the objects of his visit was to And out what kind of a girl Miss Mary Endlcott, his pres ent wife, was. His son, Austin Cham berlain, tiad met her In Europe, fell very much In love with her and asked his father's consent to address her. The old gentleman was somewhat cha ry of American wives for English gen tlemen. Before giving his consent he conclud ed to meet the lady in person and in vestigate herself and family. A night or two after his arrival in this country there was a bull at the British em bassy. Mr. Eudicott, then Mr. Cleveland's secretary of war, and his daughter were among the guests. Mr. Chamber lain particularly noticed a stately and beautiful girl whose unaffected dignity greatly pleased him. He asked to be presented. To his surprise and gratifi cation he was Introduced to Miss En dlcott. During the entire evening he paid her assiduous attention. Tlie next day he called ut her father's residence. He soon became satlsiied as to the so cial status of the Endicotts. lie finally succumbed to the charm of the fair girl and instead of sanctioning Aus tin's suit nddressed her himself and presented a handsome young stepmoth er Instead of a prospective fiancee to the waiting young lover. Austin Cham berlain accepted the inevitable and is said to lie respectfully devoted to his stepmother.—Philadelphia Press. got Sncli u Fool no He Looked. An Englishman tells this story: "A young friend of mine charged with the repair of telegraph wires in the rear of Lord Roberts' army when the Boers were particularly active on tlie line of communication had one or two black 'hoys' sick and decided to ask a Basuto chief who tvns In charge of some hundreds of his tribesmen re 's "WE WANT TWO BOYS." pairing the permanent way to supply others. The Basuto, with a billycock hat on his head, was sitting with his back against the corner of a truck smoking a short pipe. To him our en gineer, speaking very loud and clear In words of one syllable, said, 'We— want—two —boys—telegraphers,' at the same time holding up two fingers and pointing with the other hand to cer tain 'boys' near. The Basuto swell took his pipe out of his mouth and slowly repeated the request, 'You— want—two—hoys, and'— So our en gineer friend said it all over again. The Basuto, without changing his ex pression in the least, replied in incisive and rapid parliamentary English: 'I don't know how far my instructions authorize me to detach two boys from the repair of the permanent way to assist you in the telegraph depart ment. However, I will stretch a point and do my best to accommodate you.' " Wliy Mr. llrnly Was Tired. One day toward the close of u long sitting in the assize courts, when an other case was culled 011, says I'ear son's Weekly,"the leading counsel rose and huskily requested that the cause might be postponed till the next ifloru ing. "On what ground?" asked the judge snappishly. "Me lud, I have been arguing a case all day in court B and am completely exhausted." "Very well," said the Judge. "We'll take the next." Timothy Healy, K. C., M. I'., rose and also pleaded for adjournment. "What! Are you exhausted, too?" said the judge, with a snap of the eyelids. "What have you been doing?" "Me lud," said the Irish wit In a wearied voice, "I have been listening to my learned brother." A Question That Bored Her. King Edward VII. when Prince of Wales was conversing with a pretty woman at an entertainment gome years ago. "Bo sure to tell me if 1 bore you." said the prince, nud the lady loyally replied that it was her pleasure to he told when she was to go. Tlicy talked on for some minutes, nud the lady spoke casually of something which had happened when she was ten years of age. "How long ago did you say II was?" asked the prince. "I am bored," replied the lady. Comlenmed Advice. Lewis Nixon relates a story of a fond parent who devoted much care and thought to teaching Ills young son the habit of punctuality and promptness. The father knows Thomas A. Edison and took his soil to call upon the great electrician. Prior to the leave taking the father asked Mr. Edison to give a few words of advice to his son, and Mr. Edison replied, "My boy, never look at the clock." 'an abduction A group of British officers were seat ed In the quarters of one of their num ber in the garrison at Calcutta. Ches ter Ashby, captain of dragoons, seemed the most deeply interested. "It is certainly strange," observed a young lieutenant, "where Miss Blatch ford could have disappeared to. That It Is a case of abduction there Is little doubt In my mind, but who Is there who would dare to perpetrate such a crime?" "1 know not Will," returned Ashby, "but as sure as there Is a heaven above us I will find her. Gentlemen, she Is my attlanced bride." As the young soldier crossed the pa rade ground a white robed dusky form followed closely behind him. When the two reached a spot where the light which streamed from the barrack win dows did not penetrate, the native touched the European gently and whis pered: "Would Ashby sahib And the lost maiden? If so, All cau direct him to where she lingers." "What! You!" "Sahib, she Is even now a prisoner in the palace of the rajah of Judpore." "What! In the power of that heathen prince! By my sword, 111 go to the order out my dragoons and tear his glittering abode down about his ears." "Stay, snliib!" quickly rejoined the faithful servant. "If English soldiers were seen about the palace of the ra jah, the feeble spark of life which still flutters In the bosom of the white maiden would die." "What! Would the villain murder her?" "Sahib, All has said the maiden would die and leave no trace of her death. Listen, sahib. The slaves of the rajah are friends of All, and it is they who have told liim of their master's captive. Would Ashby sahib enter the palace of* the rajali unaccompanied save by Ali?" "Why does the light of the rajah's eyes weep? It should bring joy to the heart to be chosen one of so great a lord!" And a lovely Hindoo girl knelt at the feet of Agnes ltlutchford, who was sobbing bitterly. She offered no replj' to the kindly meant speech of her companion. Pres ently the damask portiere at one end of the saloon was lifted, and the rajah himself entered. "When will the light of my life cease weeping and when will a smile adorn the face of her who is loved by the rajali of Judpore?" Agnes Blatchford sprang to her feet and, turning upon her persecutor, ex claimed, "Never, wretch, never, until she Is restored to the home of her fa ther." The native prince might have made answer had it not been for the en trance of a sable Nubian, who, falling flat upon his face, begged forgiveness for the intrusion. "Speak, slave. What would you at this time?" "Most mighty and powerful rajah," said the black, "will it please the son of a king to look upon that which his servant has brought him?" "The curiosity of the rajah is aroused. Let him see." The Nubian arose and left the apart ment, but reappeared in a moment, ushering in a closed palanquin, which was borne upon the shoulders of four blacks like himself. A sardonic smile played about the lips of the rajah as he stepped forward to lift the rich curtain of the litter. The next moment he started back in horror, with ids right hand clasping the hilt of his scimiter. But before lie could draw the blade the sword of Captain Ashby was at his throat. "Wretch!" exclaimed the soldier. "Were you a Christian I would award you a moment to make your peace with tlie Almighty. But, infidel dog that you are, look your last upon things earthly, for your time has come!" The rajah essayed to call for as sistance, but the cull died away on his lips, for his eyes fell upon a body of dragoons that were rapidly tilling the apartments. Lieutenant Carleton sprang forward and struck up the blade of bis captain. "Your pardon, sir! Do not forget ancr overstep your authority. This rajah is a man in high position. The British government should deal with him." "Lieutenant, I thank you," returned the captain, with more composure. It was now that Captain Ashby first seemed to take notice of the girl whom he had rescued. Springing to her side, disregarding the presence of his sol diers, the captain clasped her in his arms. The faithful Ali had, a3 he said, obtained the information as to the whereabouts of the young English girl from the servants of the native prince, who, without exception, hated the ty rannical despot. It was he who sug gested to the captain to effect the res cue of Miss Blatchford by entering tlie abode in a palanquin, for lie l'elt that it* his master could reach the side of tlie young lady lie could protect her from the fury of the rajah until his soldiers could gain an entrance and come to his support. Today the happiest woman in India Is the young wife of tlie captain of dragoons, while tlie rajah of Judpore has been deposed from his high rank and made to pay an enormous sum for Ids audacity in abducting from ber home an English lady.

Nerve Force Regarded by Scientists as More Import ant Than the Blood. A $4.00 TREATMENT FREE. The blood was formerly regarded as the life-giving principle and to its con dition was attributed all that, there was of health or Illness. Now. physiologists know that nerve force and vitality are the same, and that the constitution, good or bad, depends upon nerve force. Nerve force controls all motion, sen sation, digestion and nutrition. An abundance of this subtlo energy means health and vigor; a lack of it causes general debility, nervous prostration, premature decline, disease and death. Nerve force is chiefly generated in the brain, and therefore in the treatment of all lingering diseases the condition of the brain centers should be carefully considered and treated. One great cause of diseases becoming chronic Is that physicians overlook the fact ihat deficiency of nerve force is the chief cause of most diseases. Nervous pros tration is due to lack of nerve force. Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments strengthen and invigorate the nerve centers. They are the result of twenty five years* careful study, extensive re search and remarkable success. They build up the system by increasing nerve force, and have won for Dr. Miles the thanks of thousands of sufferers.

One of the artistic home decorator's unwritten laws is always to have one center rug in the dining room, large enough to hold the chairs comfortably when people are seated at the table. A number of small rugs dispersed at intervals may be permissible in other rooms, but not in tlie dining room. Ilrass nails and sockets now come for fastening rugs to the floor, and those are often used. Strips of lead fas tened In an invisible facing underneath is another way of preventing rugs from curling up or slipping on a pol ished floor. How Rival Lines View New Ilocordn.
