THE
HOUSEKEEPING IN CHINA.
“Keeping house in China is de
lightful,” said the wife of an Amer
ican army officer who has just re
turned from the far east. “We had
a lovely little house in Tientsin.
There you never hear any talk about
the servant problem, and you don’t
have to keep a continual watch on
the ‘want’ columns of the newspa
pers for fear your hired girl will
leave you suddenly.”
however, that your “hired girl” is
really a boy, for very few Chinese
women do any work outside of their
own homes. Instead boys, ranging
from ten to eighteen years, take
their places and make simply ujcal
servants. They may be hired for
almost nothing, so that most for
eigners have anywhere from six to
eight employees about the house.
One of these is promoted to the po
sition of “butler,” and he is the only
one with whom you have any direct
dealings. All your orders go to him,
which certainly simplifies the house
keeping for the mistress. This but
ler is the responsible head of the
domestic staff and can be depended
upon to take care of everything and
to get the proper amount of work
out of the other servants.—Interior

This application is also of value

necessary to take the carpets up,

Contemporaries of the great presi

lyn Eagle lias learned that J. L.
Hill of Fletcher, 0., says that he
heard the saying in a speech which
Lincoln delivered from a dry goods
box placed on the north side of the
old courthouse in Bloomington.
There are two other known wit

be accepted in the absence of any

Remedy For Insect Pests.
A good way to rid the house of
pests is to place an old saucer under
different articles of furniture in the
room filled with a strong solution of
carbolic acid. Close all the win

remove the carbolic acid, air tho .

The English bodyguard of gentle-

guard” to his majesty, is limited in
numbers and composed of officers
who have soon active service, who
are of a certain height and under
fifty years of age at tho date of ap
pointment. 11 is majesty personally
selects tho officers who form his
English guard, and the appointment
is looked upon as a great, honor. The
gentleinen-at-arms receive pay, and
they are called upon for duty on the
occasion of all court ceremonies in
London or at Windsor, but they are
never taken away from England.
Their mess is a very good one, and
they constantly have the honor of

Lang Tolls a Dog Story.
Andrew Lang tells this dog story,
which, he says, comes to him on
good secondhand evidence: “A gen
tleman had a Newfoundland dog of
great intelligence. He had also a
pair of carriage horses which were
far too fat. He told his coachman
to dock their corn. This was done,
but the steeds were as corpulent as
ever. The coachman suspected that
some member of the Society For
Promoting the Comfort of Animals
was surreptitiously feeding the
horses. He therefore concealed
himself and watched. The dog came
in, lumbered painfully up a ladder
into the loft above the mangers and
shook an open sack of oats therein,
so that the cereal fell into the man
gers. The horses looked up and
were fed.”

Not Old For China.
When Wong Kai ICah was tem
porarily a sojourner here—alas,
that this oriental gentleman who
endeared himself to all who met
him is no more—one of his new
made acquaintances asked him as to
the antiquity of his family.
“Oh,” he said, with naive modes
ty and yet with a merry twinkle in
his eye, “my family is now in China.
Indeed we have nothing to boast
of as to long establishment in that
country, for we have been there
only 2,500 years, having come from
a place to the south and east of the
Caspian sea.”—Indianapolis News.
Modern Morality.
A quarter of a century ago the di
vorce court stained the reputation
of all who came into contact with
it. Now it causes them generally
only a little annoyance. “We are
all corespondents here,” said a
facetious man at a recent fashion

Good Leather Polish.
To clean and polish the leather
covering of chairs, etc., mix togeth
er equal parts of vinegar and linseed
oil, apply very sparingly with a piece
of flannel and polish with a soft
cloth. The same treatment is excel
lent for French polished furniture,
but it must be remembered that tho
vinegar and oil mixture is to be ap
plied sparingly and that “elbow
greuse” is to be used generously.
The Greasy Sink.
Unless frequently flushed with a
powerful solvent to remove the
grease, the kitchen sink will clog.
A strong Solution of washing soda
made with boiling water is most ef
fectual and should be used very hot
immediately following a thorough
cleaning with warm soapsuds. Pre
pare a sufficient quantity that the
drainpipe also may be thoroughly
flushed.
The Care of Linen.
No linen will become yellow when
packed away if it is rough dried be
forehand. It must have no starch
in it and should be folded without
ironing. In this condition it may
be kept for years without showing
the least sign of decrepitude. Use
pure soap, fresh clean water and an
abundance of it, much air and sun
shine and carefully avoid starch.
Stains on Furniture.
Stains and spots in mahogany fur
niture may be taken out with weak
aqua fortis or oxalic acid and water,
rubbing the part with a cork dipped
in the liquid till the color is re
stored. Then wash the wood with
water, dry and polish as usual.

made by putting two large screw6-

about two inches apart. Drop the

Working the Password.
Certain Russian immigrants on
reaching England without money
have been passed by the immigra
tion authorities, although they
should have been rejected under the
now aliens act, says a London pa
per. They were passed when they
declared themselves to the Social
Democrats and by replying to the
following question: “Are the opera
tions of the society directed against
all governments or only against
the Russian government?” “Only
against Russia.” “Admitted.” The
immigration authorities now find
that they are overwhelmed with im
poverished Social Democrats from
Russia. In fact, nobody but Social
Democrats seems to be emigrating
from Russia just now.
Churchill Can Talk Back.
Winston Churchill, the English
convert to Liberalism, is making a
reputation for sharp wit. His curt
retort to a woman heckler, “Madam,
I will not be henpecked,” was the
best thing of the recent campaign.
He is now raising a mustache. A
fair lady was being taken in to din
ner by the budding politician. “Mr.
Churchill,” she said, “I like your
politics as little as I like your mus
tache.” It should have been a
crushing shot, but not so to Church
ill. His reply was on the instant,
“Madam, you are not likely to come
in contact with either.”
Lyman’s Annuity.
Yankeeland is conservative even
to perpetuating its traditional traits.
Here is the latest example of
shrewdness in Lyman Jennings of
Athol, who gave the town $9,000 on
condition of receiving from the
town an annuity of $540. Up to
date he has had $16,200 and is still
hearty and with a prospect of get
