PRIDE DF HOUSEKEEPERS. 8-iow to Coro For the Linen Press and ?ts Contents; No good housekeeper neglects the linen press, and the care of it is one of ? the most important of housewifely 'duties. The best form of linen press 3s a narrow one from front to back, &$j *hat when opened all the contents are kxposed to view, with no second row ? bt things hidden away behind,1 It is a serious mistake to keep linen con stantly in a hot air cupboard, for. though it is thus always aired and r*ady for use. yet it will become dis colored and the edges turn brown if so kept '?Many people nowadays discard linen 'sheets altogether, preferring cotton .'ones, while others keep them only for summer months, using cotton in f winter, as being warmer. In mending household linen the most ^satisfactory way to do is to mend it /before it is sent to the laundry, not when it returns starched and ready j for use once more, says the Philadel phia Press. If a thin piece or hole is observed while the article is in use it should be put aside and either darned or patched at the first opportunity. Tablecloths invariably begin to wear at the middle and in the side creases In which they are folded. When this Is the case the edges of one side of the cloth should be turned In and neat ly stitched to form a hem about an Inch in' width. By this means the folds in the cloth will come in fresh lines and the place of the old crease will have a>new lease of life. When a cloth is removed from the table it should be put into a press and tightly screwed down until want ed. If a sheet is hemstitched it should be done at ooth ends. If only one end is so worked the wear and tear will come always in the same place, as the sheet can only be used one way, with the hemstitching at the top. j Once a year it is a very good plan to devote a whole day to going over the linen stock and to make renewals , \ where necessary. ' ) It is a mistake to allow the supply ;of any one article to run too low, for \ the replenishing of the entire stock at One time means a somewhat heavy }tem of expense. It is much better to make periodical additions. ISVhen new pillowslips with buttons ajje bought, the buttons should be ex amined. If these are of metal covered iHth linen, remove them at pnce. Use those made by folds of linen only. , Stores which are not in current use may be wrapped in cloth aud placed on the upper shelve? of the press. The German "hausfrau" keeps broad em broidered bands, which she slips , around her spare sets of linen. How to Rid the House of Insects. ' A kind of black beetle gets into old bouses from time to time. To get rid of them mix up some sugar and pias ter of parls and place It in little, heaps about the floor and shelves, wherever the insects congregate, says the Spo kane Spokesman-Review. In a little while they disappear. This also is an excellent way to get rid of cock roaches and other bugs. Tarred paper xis another remedy for bugs of all kinds, since they object to the odor. If one does not object to sticky fly paper, it will be found excellent for ants and fleas and other small insects besides flies. Sprinkle a little sugar over the paper to make it more entic ing and burn the sheet as soon as it is fairly filled. A sheet of this sticky fly paper placed in a nest of fleas or in a place where they seem to gather will catch' a number of them. Place a piece of raw meat in the middle of the fly paper, and the fleas will be attracted by it As fast as the paper is full burn it and put a fresh meet in the same place. How to Use Potatoes. Sui day?Peel, steam, mash; add milk, butter and salt; then beat till they are light. Monday ? Baked potatoes in their jackets. Tuesday?Peel and bake with roast of beef. Wednesday?Creamed potatoes. Thursday ? Peel, steam and serve whole. Friday?Peel, cut in thin slices length wise, sprinkle with pepper and salt and fry lh butter. Saturday?Potatoes boiled in their jackets. How to Make a Dainty Cover. Here is a Christmas suggestion. A dainty dressing table or bureau cover is made of three embroidered band kerchiefs, lace insertion and edging, beading and ribbon. The handker chiefs have plain edges and are joined by one row of the wide lace insertion and two rows of the lace beading. The lace beading and insertion border the cover and are finished with edging. Ribbon is threaded through the bead ing. (How to Wash Laces. Make a lather of good soap and hot water, then squeeze the lace through and through the latter several times, taking care not to wring It Rinse in milk, when the lace will become quite crisp without being too stiff. If a cream shade is desired, add cold tea to the milk till the proper shade is ob tained. Iron ou the wrong side on some thick, soft materiul. How to Mend Boys' Stockings. Stockings of boys often require a great deal of darning. In the mending of bad holes, especially at the knees and heels, a piece of net is often of great service. Lay It over the stock ing and darn in and out of its meshes. In this way a neat repair may be Quickly executed, and it is strong too.

A dull heavy pain exist ed in the small of my back, taking all ambition out of me and prevent ing me from getting any rest or sleep at night. At times it was so severe as to make me lay off from work for days at a time. I consult ed a doctor and he told me after a thorough examination that I had diabetes. I could not well afford the extensive treatmeut he thought nec essary and I tried the best recom mended remedies I knew of, but not receiving any benefit from them I was discouraged. Some one told me about Doan's Kidney Pills and I pro cured a box at the J. G. Wannamak er Drug Store. I did not expect them to do me any more good than any other remedies I had tried and pould hardly believe my't own feel ings when my back stopped aching. In a short time the kidney secretions became normal and reg ular, I rested well at nights and my work became a pleasure to me. For what Doan's Kidney Pills did for me I can and will recommend them to others." For sale by all dealers. Price 50c. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agent for United States.

Y., had a very remarkable experience he says: "Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart disease; two called it kidney trouble; the 4th blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised try ing Electric Bitters, which are re storing me to perfect health. One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescribed." Guaranteed for blood poison, weakness and all stomach, liver and kidney complaints by J. G. Wannamaker Mfg Co, drug gist, 50c.

Congressmen Williams and De Armond Have a Fight Democratic Congressmen Meet in a ' Personal Encounter on the Floor of the House. The spirit of rivalry that for five years has alternately smoldered and blazed beween John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, leader of the minor ity, and David D. DeArmond, of Mis souri, leader of the minority oppos ition, culminated in a fist fight Fri day on the floor of the House. The blows of Representative De Armond caused blood to flow down the face of Representative Williams, and only the forcible interference of friends cut the combat short. . Mr. DeArmond bore away a scuffed nose. The immediate cause of the fight was the passing of the lie by De Armond to Mr. Williams, resulting of a complaint by the former that the minority leader had broken faith in "burying" Representative Booher, of Missouri, by recommend ing his assignment by Speaker Can non to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. According to the statements of the participants Mr. Williams defended his action by declaring that he had been told by Mr. Booker's colleague, Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, that the committee assigned would be satisfactory to Mr. Booher. Mr. DeArmond bluntly questioned the truth of the statement, and af ter the failure of an effort on his part to transfer the scene of impend ing battle Williams struck DeAr Pnblic Speaker; Intetfraptal. .. > " Public speakers' ar?" frequently In terrupted by people coughing.

The exciting incident will not be set down in the official records of the 60th Congress, for the House had been some minutes adjourned when the first blow was struck. But there was no lack of witnesses. The organization of the Houne had been completed by the announce ment of the Speaker's assignments of members to committees, the Re publican committeemen having: been selected by the Speaker and the ttemocratic by Mr. Williams. Groups of Representatives were scattered over the floor, discussing the appointments, the causes, per haps, behind them and the effects, maybe, to follow. In the overlooking galleries loitered a score or so of women and four times that many men, viewing the aftermath of aa interesting session. ? .- - Found Dead. Wm. Stucky. a well known planter near West Point, Ga., was found dead with his throat cut last week. His body lay on a pile of cotton seed In a storehouse on the Ed Booker plantation, which Mr. Stucky had recently leased. An investigation is being conducted to discover whether Stucky died as a result of murderous violence or suicide.
