To cloan a copper kettle, fill tho
kettle with very hot water, then rub
It over with very sour milk; or, bet
tor, umu our buttermilk. Afterwards
polish It with a piece of chamois
kin. A kettle cleaned In this way
will always look bright and new.
An easy way to mend lace curtains
Is as follows. If there are holes too
large to darn, take a piece of net as
early like the curtain as possible,
or cut a piece from some discarded
certain. Dip the piece In starch, lay
la on the hole, or worn piece, and
when nearly dry, press with a warm
Iron. Tho patch will remain until
tho curtain is laundered again, and
will not be discernible. A small hole
can be mended by crocheting with
thread the size of the mesh.
A soiled wall paper may be cleaned
by rubbing well with a flannel cloth
dipped In oat meal. This is a useful
thing to remember when one does
not wish to repaper the whole room.
To remove Iodine stains from white
roods, take common household am
monia, dilute it one-half with slightly
warm water, then soak the garment
In this for an hour, rubbing the spots
now and then. If the stain Is not all
removed by this process, take bl-car-Donate
of potash and rub It well Into
the stain until the last trace of the
Iodine Is removed. Then rinse - well
and dry.
One of the simplest means ' of
. cleaning silver that has become
blackened by gas or time. Is to mix
a teaspoonful of ammonia with a
cupful of water and use a little of
this liquid to form a paste with
Whiting. Polish the article with the
paste, using a soft chamois or cloth
to apply, and another to polish.
A paste of ordinary table salt and
vinegar rubbed briskly over the
nickel ornaments on the kitchen
range when the stove Is cold, will
make them as bright as new. Apply
the parte with a flnnnel rag.
tied and closely corked for future use.
Stains on Fabrics In flays gone
by. Inks were made of iron com
pounds, but are now mostly made of
aniline or other allied substances. Tho
colored anilines readily yield to alco
hol, but anll'ne black in practically in
delible. Stains from ink miide of iron
compounds should be treated In the
following manner, with oxalic, muriat
ic, or hot tartaric acid: Fill an
earthen dish two-thirds full of boil
ing water, and stretch the stained ar
ticle over this; have near at hand two
other dlKhes one containing clear wa
ter, and the other containing ammo
nia water. The steam from the boil
ing water will furnish the heat ne
cessary for favorabro chemical ac
tion. With a medicine dropper, drop
a littlo of the acid on the stain, aid
wait a minute for action to take place,
then lower the cloth Into the clear
water and rinse well in the ammo
nia water In order to neurallze any
excess of acid, and preserve the
fabric from Injury. H. J. C, Iowa.

SECRET MOVES ON
EUROPE'S CHESSBOARD
A t'seful Scrwn.
A screen Is at times almost Indls
penslble, especially In the sick room,
or where one has to do work which
Inevitably "11116" up the space oc
copled, such as sewing, patching, or
ripping garments apart. A service
able screen for shutting off unsight
ly corners or occupations may be
made of a smrfll clothes horse of the
folding variety, and the frame may
be made very pretty by using enamel
paint of colors or white. Pongee or
cretonne or silkollne, or even curtain
calico, may be tacked on the frame,
and it wlil add to Its usefulness It
patch pockets, or. pockets shirred on,
are sewed on the Inside. ' For the
sick room, the covering should be
of white oilcloth, with pockets set
on the side next the bed In which
much of the necessities of the sick
courh can bo stowed away. The oil
cloth can bo wiped off when dusty or
oiled.
For the Odd Jobs.
This Is the season when there are
many odd moments at the disposal
of the house-father, and It Is well
to take a look at the house fur
nishings. Pe sure to have the pot of
paint, varnish and glue closo at
hand, and tighten up all loose Joints;
a few nails here, a few screws there,
a touch of g'ue In auother place;
then, when all the Joints are fastened
and all the loose parts securely Join
ed, the paint brush will come In play,
and after one or more coats of paint,
as the need may be, the varnish brush
will flnlRh the work. You will be
surprised how very much better the
home will look. But there are many
places where a little doctoring with
the saw and hammer and screwdriver
will work wonders In the appear
ance of the woodwork of the rooms,
and these should be followed up with
the paint, varnish and paste brushes.
A little money and some time are
spent In adding to the attractiveness
and comfort of the home.
Paris. "L'Oplnlon" devotes sev
eral columns to an article by Jacques
Bardoux, the well known publicist and
writer, called "An Austro-German
Conspiracy Against the Equ llbrlum
of Europe." Tho author says that
"the act of Austria which forced Ser
vla to cease military preparations on
March 81, 1906, Is only a part of a
profound plan developed by Count
von Aehrenthal, the Austro-IIungar-lan
minister for foreign affairs, on
January 27, 1908. By means of a
policy involving th construction of
railways and tho development of antl-S-rb
intrigues, Salonlra is to be made
an Austrian port, and the Hapshurgs
are to have a triple crown."
The Austrian foreign min ster, ac
cording to the writer, was aided In
this plan by Dr. von Bothmann-Holl-weg,
the Gorman Imperial chancellor,
and M. Bardoux asserts, the days of
Kervla as nn Independent country are
numbered. Care has been taken by
tho arch-conspirators to tie Russia's
hands, too, while "means for creat
ing a useful diversion" haye been pro
vided. This is In the form of the recent
persistent rumors of a tension exist
ing in the relations of Russia and Ja
pan rumors which emanated from
the Ballpatz. "whose press bureau
eclipses that at Wllhoinistrasse by the
wonderful working of Its powerful
ramifications " Every move of Rus
sia in the far east that could be con
Htrued Into a menace has been re
ported to Japan.
"As for Great Britain." the writer
ontinues, "which is thinking of over
hauling an ancient const tution and
mollifying the divisions of landed
property, there Is only one way If
Austria Is to be free In dealing with
Kervla that is to push her along the
road toward social reform, and to de
ceive her by protests of 'pacificism.'
Count von Aehrenthal has profited
by the Hungarian crisis to settle the
question of the Austrian Dread
noughts and to adjourn their con
struction Dr. von Bethmann-Hollwcg
will do what he can to blind the ex
cellent and naive John Bull with ami
cable words, preparatory to paying
himself later on by the cession of an
Austrian Savoy."

Washington. An elevator with a
wooden cage Is a novelty In tho equip
ment of the capitol. Visitors gae at
It with admiration and compliment
the senate on taking a step In the di
rection of Jeffersonlan simplicity.
Across tho hall from the wooden
elevator Is an old one, the cage of
which Is Iron wrought In ornamental
design. The wooden contraption Is
hailed by tho guileless as a sign that
tho talk of economy Is not mislead
ing, after all, and that t'ncle Sam Is
saving money to the last notch.
It is all a dream, however. The
sennto ordered a new elevator to be
Installed during vacation and it hap
pened, when session time came, that
with tho exception of the cage all
was in readiness for the operation
of the "lift." The solons had to have
an elevator, so a car of narrow pine
boards painted a yellowed brown col
or was fixed up. It carries passen
gers as well as the finest bronze ele

be replaced by a masterpiece in metal.
To Consider Antl-Vlvlsoctlon.
Albany, Feb. 16. A public hearing
will be held today before a Joint legis
lative committee on the question of
vivisection, which has been consider
ably agitated In this state recently.
PartlculaV Interest is manifested In
the hearing because of the appearance
before the committee of Mr. Stephen
Coleridge, son of the late Chief Jus
tice of England, and himself an em
inent advocate of methods for the
proper supervision of vivisection.
From him the members of the legis
lature expect to receive valuable In
formation as to the working of vivi
section laws in England and other
European countries.

Seattle. The Seattle Times of re
cent date says that as part of a mer
ger of eight separate electric power,
railroad, light and Irrigation compa
nies In central and western Washing
ton, covering moro than 50 per cent
of the available hydro-electric power,
R. B. Strahorn has closed negotia
tions for the purchase, for $100,000
of the water rights and surveys of the
Columbia Development company.
The purchase gives to Strahorn's
North Coast Railroad control of val
uablo water rights on the Columbia
river eight miles above Priest Rapids,
and also gives him control in the de
velopment of a hundred thousand
acro tract north of Pasco.
Tho following named electric plants,
railroad and irrigation companies, a
majority of which were long controll
ed by Strahorn, will be merged in a
new corporation and united under one
management for development, involv
ing investment of not less than five
millions of eastern money in those
enterprises: Northwest Light and
Power company and Valley Power
company of North Yakima; Taklma

for control of the water rights and
railroad and canal rights of way on

IXXG I'LIGHT MADE nY
BRITISH ARMY AIRSHIP
London. The British army appears
st last after many false starts, to
have secured a workable airship. Man
ned by Colonel Capper and four as
sistants, the huge fish-shaped craft
was launched from the military bal
loon factory at Famborough recently.
An hour was occupied in a flight
over Laffan's Plain to Aldershot
Ciimp and back to its shed. The air
ship traveled several hundred feet
high and appeared to answer its helm
perfectly. The new machine is many
times greater in size than Its prede
cessors. It Is seventy feet In length,
with pointed ends and fin-like pro
jections on either side. Its frame ex
tends below the body for about three
fourts of its length. The propellers
are attached 'to its sides.
FINED FOR SELLING
OLD EGGS AS FRESH
Los Angeles. Because John Mc
Cllntock, a grocery man, advertised
eggs as fresh when in fuct they had
been in storage several months, C. L
Parry, the man who sold the eggs,
pleaded guilty to a violation of the
pure food law and as a result is out
just $25, the sum which went to make
up his fine.
The conviction of Parry is the first
since the recent meeting of the state
board of health here, when the board
filed a ruling that eggs held In stor
age or treated with preservatives
were not to be considered fresh.
A number of store men are under
arrest for selling ancient eggs as
fresh.
