If oil or grease is on your best book tise this simple method: Apply spirit of turpentine to the spot, smearing it on thin with a small swab. Let the turpentine dry, then moisten the spot with alcohol with a clean swab, and the grease will disappear. The paper will not be discolored. If necessary make a second application. Or lay blotting paper on the grease spot, then press the blotting paper with a warm iron, repeating the process several times so as to absorb as much of the grease as possible. Then take a little essential oil of turpentine and heat it almost warm and then with a clean brush wet iu the warm turpentine go over the grease spot on both sides of the paper. Repent this process and the stain will soon disappear. Lastly, apply the blotting paper and warm Iron. Recolorlng- Silk. An article recently published In the Strassburger Tost mentions a discovery said to have been made by a chemist and engineer of St. Etienne by which the color may be taken out of silk, and it may b recolored in any desired tint without in any way Injuring its texture. The article goes on to state that in case the inventor can do what he promises it will almost revolutionize the silk industry and entirely do away with the danger of injuring silks through coloring by means of too strong chemicals, which eat the fabric. Cleaning? Mattlns;. Matting should be washed with strong salt and water to strengthen the fibers. If a white or cream colored matting has become faded and discoli ored wash with strong soda water, f and, while this will turn it a deeper shade of creamy yellow, it will be all i one color Instead of variegated. Mat- ) ting should always be swept the way of the weave, not across it. Mantel Drcoratloa. The dining room mantel should never be filled with ornaments and bric-a-brac.

The white thing is not an indication of a child's' death, however, but merely a bread bag that the baker Supplies to his customers. For years householders had to put up with uncertainty about their bread, not knowing whether some of the . numerous cats that make the night less silent had Investigated and pawed over their morning loaf. But now the bakers, In order that their customers might feel more secure, have provided these white bags, which the housekeeper hangs on the doorknob at night and the baker fills early in the morning. France In China. More than eight years have elapsed since China granted to France a concession to build a railway from the Tonquin frontier to Yunnanfu. the capital of the southwestern province, a distance of about 2S0 miles. Labor and climatic difficulties as well as a change in 1904 of the original trace of the line have had much to do with the delay, but work Is now proceeding all along the new route, and it is expected that the railway will be open as far as Mengtsu In 1907 and be completed to Yunnanfu. the terminus.

NEW YORK MARKETS fP'tMlshorV Pra1 New York, Jan. 25. Declines from' - ! last night's level were the rule in the' opening prices for stocks. The few ' small gains were in the less import- j ant stocks. . Business was very small j and the movement of prices narrow. The selling movement ran its course until many of the favorites had increased their losses substantially. The list however did not hold well, fresh selling of Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific weakening prices again. Erie first preferred opened a point higher. Stocks came on the market freely during the second hour and there was a pronounced decline all through the list. Bonds were steady. Western Group Attacked. There was no apparent effort made to support prices, and stocks declin ed steadily, although the amounts were small. The Western railroad group, Reading and United States Steel, bore the brunt of the pressure THE COLUMBIA RIVER. Dangers That Beset the Passage of Thin Stream of Death. The Columbia does not merely threaten, but performs. No one can tell how many men have been lost on the Big Bend. The Surprise rapids, far up at the head of the bend, are about as bad as any. Seventeen men are known to have been drowned here. Leo Davis was , capsized on these rapids while we were at Timbasket lake. We found his boat crushed and flung ashore a hundred miles down stream and twenty miles below the head of the bend and so thought Leo was gone. Later we learned that he got out alive, though losing all his supplies. I saw another broken boat on the Twenty-six Mile rapids, whose we never knew or what became of its owner. We saw on a big bowlder near shore the name of a Swede who was drowned a few years I k. The body of course was not recovered, for the Columbia never gives' up its dead. Now, below ns were the bloodiest of all these waters, the Death rapids, where, in the mining stampedes soon after the Call fornia gold rushes, so many miners were drowned some say 1G3 in what was called the Frenchmen's stampede. These men were mostly drowned from rafts, on which they foolishly tried to get down river to avoid the awful walking. Seven Chinamen once started down on a raft. One got through alive, hanging fast by a rope, and he was so scared he left America without ever saying a word. One man was cast up a few feet from shore on a rock from which he did not dare Jump Ilis companion was swept down Id their boat for a mile before he could get ashore and come back to rescue him. . Three men went over Jn a boat, and only one, a duffer who could not swim a stroke, got out. Farther down the river, in the Revelstoke canyon, was where Tom Florae, as good a river man as there was in the northwest, was drowned with Jack Boyd, the mall carrier, a man who was In deathly ter ror of the Columbia and who would not even go on the ice in the winter, preferring to wallow through the snow piled trails up on the mountains. Outing Magazine. Flat Oat of 9ater. It is well known, says Knowledge, that certain kinds of fishes are able to live out of water much longer than others, the power bofng dependent upon the length of time that their gills are capable of remaining damp. So long as this condition lasts fish are able to obtain the necessary amount of oxygen from the air through the medium of the water spread over the fine membrane of the gills. Recently a German has invented an apparatus by means of which the gills can be kept moist for an Indefinite period. This apparatus consists of a wooden box with a number of compartments corresponding with the size of the fishes. On the floor of each compartment Is a layer half an Inch deep of cloths saturated with water which by evaporation keeps the atmosphere moist. The gills of the fishes are thus kept damp, while oxygen is supplied from a receptacle outside the box. Many kinds of fresh water fish have. It is said, been kept alive for from three to four days by means of this Ingenious Invention. The Mother Bird. It has been said by observers of birds that some of them will feed their young if they are caged and If they fail after a time to release them they will bring them a poison weed to eat so that death may end their captivity. This is hard to believe, but an apparently well authenticated incident Is cited to prove it. Three young orioles were captured and were immediately caged, and the cage was hung In a tree. The mother soon came calling to the little ones, and in a little while she brought them some worms. She continued for several days to feed them without paying much attention to the persons who were about, but one day she brought them a sprig of green in the morning and disappeared. In less than an hour the young birds were dead- A a examination of the sprig showed that It was the deadly larkspur, which, it Is said, will kill full grown cattle. Tberw Is of course a possibility that the mother brought them the sprig by mistake, but to believe that would be to doubt the protective instinct that naturalists attribute to birds and animals.

THE VERDIC'T

Dayton was a tough town. They were working on a railroad the. railroad that never was finished. If they had finished that railroad Dayton would have been a metropolis today, according to the Dayton belief. Boney Walker, a grader, was up before the justice of the peace charged wiih assault with intent to kilL Ther was no other kind of assault in Dayton In those days. It was not such a very serious charge either, but there wer circumstances connected with this par ticular case which made it a matter of interest to the whole community. Id the first place, no one except a tenderfoot would ever have brought such a charge against a reputable citizen. There were other ways of settling matters of dispute which custom bad made the rule, and the people of Dayton disliked to see such a radical change. Joe Perry, the tenderfoot who brought the charge, had been working for Walker for several months and had never been able to draw a cent of the wages due him. Not only that, but he : had lent Walker nearly every cent' he had in the world, and the outlook j ahead of him was mighty blue. He had lived on frijoles and wormy bacon and slept on the ground when he was out on the grade and camped in the corral when he was iu town. And all the time he had been writing back east to his folks, telling them that he liked the west it was such a free and easy life, and the people were so hospitable and easy to get along with, and his health was better. It was all a bluff, of course. Walker was standing in front of the postofiice one day when Perry came out with a letter in his hand end a suspicious moisture In his eyes. The letter was from home. His mother was not as well as usual, the letter said, and things were not going on as smoothly as they might. It wound up by asking If he could not send a few dollars, as money was badly needed to buy her the little comforts that a sick person wants. Perry plucked up courage and. approaching Walker, asked him for same money.. Walker pulled his revolver and; struck the rash young man a vicious blow on the bead. That was his reply a characteristic one. Indeed. It was, in fact, such a natural thing for Walker to do that the people of Dayton were surprised greatly to learn that a warrant had been issued even. It must be understood that Walker had a big contract with the railroad company and was In debt to everybody In the town. ' Justice of the Peace Smith was not only one of Walker's heaviest creditors, but he was on his bond also. Walker wouldn't listen to reason at all. He was guilty, be insisted, and glad of It. Even when be was quite sober early In the morning he was defiant and stoutly maintained that he would have to plead guilty. So Justice of the Peace Smith took him off to ono side and talked to him. "Look here, Boney," he said, "don't throw us all down like this. Suppose I have to send you up. Where are we going to get out? You'll lose the contract, and we'll lose our money. Never mind your reputation. Stand by your friends." But Boney was obstinate and still insisted that he was obliged to plead guilty. For the better accommodation of the Jury and the rest of Walker's creditors court was held In the old warehouse between the cabinet and the brewery. The Judge read the charge, with a tinge of sarcasm in his voice, which be with difficulty managed to conceal. The defendant waived counsel, and the trial proceeded. "Guilty or not guilty?" asked the court. The prisoner Jumped to his feet. "Guilty!" he shouted. "And I'm sorry I didn't" The court Interrupted him. "The prisoner pleads not guilty," the court said in blandest tones, not looking at the prisoner, however. "The Jury Is Instructed to bring in a verdict In ac cordance with this evidence." . The prisoner sat speechless for a brief time. He was overcome with vio lent emotion. "You're a liar!" he shouted, getting upon his feet at last "I said 'Guilty! " The court was entirely unmoved. Doubtless It was prepared for some such outbreak upon the part of the prisoner. "The Jury will now retire and prepare its verdict," the Justice said calmly. In the poker room In the rear of the cabinet the Jury deliberated over its verdict. The expense was borne by the court, who had accompanied the Jury there. Amid an impressive silence, so deep that the rattle of the dice In the cabinet, where the Frenchies were shaking, could be distinctly heard, the Jury took their places again. "Gentlemen, have you the verdict?" calmly asked the court as he resumed his chair, raised above the others by the aid of two soap boxes. "We have." responded Big Casey, the foreman. "Read It," commanded the court, assuming an expectant air. calculated to dispel any suspicion that the court itself might have been the real author of the document. Big Casey read the verdict. It was as follows: "The Jury finds tuat the prisoner Is such a fearful liar that we cannot believe him under oath. It accordingly finds him not guilty." The court then solemnly discharged the twelve creditors of the prisoner from further duty, and the Incident was closed. Argonaut. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
