KING SHDT DVWN
The Crown Prirce Also 2 Victim
ot the Assassins.
KILLED ON THE SPOT
Were Three of the Murd-rers, and
the City of Lisbon Was in an Up
roar-The Tradegy Occurred While
King Carlos, Queen .nilie and
Their Two Sons Were Ridiang in
the Streets of the City.
King Carlos. of Portugal. and the
Crown Prince Luiz Phillippe were as
sassinated Saturday afternoon while
riding along the streets of Libson on
their way from the raiload station
to the palace.
The King's second son, the Infanta
Manuel, was slightly wounded. but
Queen Amelie. who strove to save
the Crown Prince's lie by throwing
herself upon him, was unhurt.
A band of men waiting at the cor
ner of Praco Do Commercio and the
Rua Do Arsenal suddenly sprang to.
ward the open carriage, in which the
family were driving to the palace,
and leveling carbines which they had
concealed upon them fired. The King
and the Crown Prince, upon whonm
the attack was directed, were eaclh
shot three timesiand they lived only
long enough to be carried to the ma
rine arsenal near by, where they ex
pired.
Almost at the first shot the King
fell back on the cushions dying. and
at the same moment the Crowr
Prince was seen to half arise and
then sink back on the seat. Queen
Amelie jumped up and threw hersell
toward the Crown Prince in an ap
parent effort to save his life at che
cost of her own,. but the Prince had
received his death wound. The guard
fired upon the assassins and killed
three of them.
A strong guard was in attendanct
because-of the recent uprising in the
city and the discovery of a plot to
assassinate Premeri Franco and ov
erthrow the monarchy. But the
band of murderers had selected the
most advantageous spot for the com
mission of their crime, for they were
concealed from the eyes of the police
until the carriage had wheeled intc
the Praco Do Commercio, a larg<
square. Before any of the guard
were aware of what was happeninl
the assassins leaped toward the car
riage and instantly a fusiade of shots
rang out.
In a moment all was terrible con
fusion, the King and Crown Prince
was shot down without the slightes
chance to save themselves Police
guards sprang upon the regicides, the
number of whom is somewhat un.
certain, and killed three of them and
captured three others. One of these
committed suicide after being placed
in prison. It is charged that one o:
the murderers was a Spaniard nam
ed Cardova
The news swept through the
city like fire through dra
grass, and the pcpulace is pani<
stricken, not knowir. where the nex
blow may fail. The. e is the greates
dread for the future of the country
which seems on the verge of beinl
plunged into the awful throes of a
revolution with all the attendan1
horrors and bloodshed Throughou1
the city consternation reigns, and all
the houses and business places are
barricaded.
An examination of the wounds oj
the King, who was already dead wher
he reached the arsenal, showed thai
three bullets had found their mark
One wound was situated at the nape
of the neck, a second in the shouldei
and the third, which was the fata:
wound severed the carotid artery
The Crown Prince, who was stl
breathing, but who died almost im
mediately, after admission to the ar
senal, had suffered three wounds in
the head and chest. Two bullets had
struck Prince Manuel, one in the low
er jaw and another in the arm.
Queen Maria Pin, the mother oi
King Carlos, the Duke of Oporto, his
brother, a number of the ::-unisters
and Court officials hastened at onet
to the palace when the news reached
them of the attack upon the royal
family. The cold blooded murder
has sent a thrill of horror throughout
the country.
King Carlos was the son of the
late King Louis and spouse, the
Princess Pia, daughter of King Victor
Immanuel, of Italy, and was born on
September 28, 1863. He succeeded
to the throne October 19,1889. He
married in I89 6 the Princess Amelie,
of Orleans, the daughter of the Count
of Paris. and had two sons. Prince
Louis. Phillppine, Duke of Bragana,.

The State Supreme Court has de

not allowed to vote in the Calhoun
County election was legal and that
those voters have practically no re

State are concerned.
On Monday the court dismissed the
writ of certiorari, which was argu

v idity of the election to establish

ATTACKED BY FLAMES
Portland and Caltimore Suffer Big
Losses From Fire.
For Second Tine Within Week Same
Two Cities Give Strenuous Battle
to the Fire Fiend.

,vholosule boots and shoes.

three hours the combined fire
dartmnts of Portland, Biddeford,

summ-oned aid from Boston.

o'(-ock Monday morning, had done
dL::1age of more than $1,000,000.
The burning block is in the very
ceselcr of the down-town wholesale
dierict. A heavy rain shortly after
m: Mnight gave the fire fighters great
aid and it was thought the flames
we:e under control when suddenly
out of the blinding smoke a great
ton tue of fire shot up and five min

Fire in Baltimore.
A dispatch from Baltimore under
date of Modnay says fire is raging in
the immense tanks of the Standard
Oi! Company at Frst avenue and

gallons of oil have already been
burned. The fire threatens the large
refinery and other property nearby.
SHOT BY A NEGRO.
A Young White Man is Seriously
Wounded in a Row.
Mr. Walter Boylestoa, While on His
Way Home From this City, Has
an Altet'cation With Isaac Glover.
Mr. Walter Boyleston, a young
white man about twenty years of
age. was shot and perhaps seriously
wounded at half-past 6 o'clock Tues
day night by Isaac Glover, a negro
who had been employed on the sew
er work now in progress in this city.
The shooting occurred just on the
other side of the Edisto River, about
a mile from Orangeburg, while Mr.
Boyleston was on his way home fromt
the c.ity. There is evidence of only
one shot having taken effect. and
from what can be learned no others
nere fired. The ball entered at the
bottom of the neck just above the
junction of the collar and breast
Ibones.
Soon after the shooting the wound
Ied man was brought into the city and
taken to the Wannamaker Manufac
turing Company's Drug Store, where
an examination was made by Drs. D.
D. Salley and L. C. Shecut. It was
deemed advisable to send Boyleston
to the Columbia Hospital on the eight
1o'clock train, and hence the doctors
did not have time in wihch to make
a thorough examination to locate
the ball.
Up to the time for leaving for
Columbia Boyleston was cheerful
and the loss of blood did not seem
to have affected his strength to any
extent. He was conscious the whole
time, and was willing to talk about
the affair as much as the doctors
would allow him on account of the
uncertainty of his real condition
and the possibility of his being fatal
ly wounded.
It was thought best to have Boy
leston make an ante-mortem state
rnent, which, after it had been writ
man down, he signed in the presence.
of a number of witnesses. The state
ment is substantially as follows.
"I was going home in my buggy
alone and had just crossed the first
bridge on the causeway beyond the
river when I hollered, 'Heigh,' just
for fun; I did not see the negro, who
was coming from the opposite direc
tion on foot. Just as I hollered the
negro cursed me and dared me to
get out of the buggy. I got out and
Iwent towards the negro and asked
him what he meant. We clinched
and the negro pushed mue into the
ditch and fired. I had a 28S-calibre
pistol in my hip pocket, but made no
attempt to draw it. My pistol was
not in my pocket after the shot was
fired. I saw no one until Mr. Wmn.
Hartnett and Mr. Lowery drove up."
Mr. Hartnett says that he passed
in his buggy and saw Boyleston and
the negro rowiug and after driving
a little further he heard one shot.
He turned around and came back
towards the city and found Boyles
ton in the ditch with a bullet wound
in his neck.
He put the wounded man in his
buggy and brought him to town for
medical- attention.
Boyleston says also that if the
negro used his (Boyleston's) pistol
he doesn't know how he got it.- but
~thinks it must have fallen from his
pocket when he fei!. He said that
the negro appeared to him to be
drunk.
The police immediately commenced
a search for Glover. They were in
formed by a young brother of the
negro who did the shooting that
(lover stated that he shot with
Boyleston's pistol and was going to
Sheriff Duke's to take the pistol and
s'rrenider. This he did at 1 1 o'clock
at ig ht and was placed in jail.
He also delivered up a 2s-calibre
Smith & Wessoun pistol.
Young 'Boyleston is the soii of Mr.
Johin A. Boyleston, a prominent far
mr living~ just a few miles from
own. He has been employed in the
cit and is considered a quiet andl
peaceable young~ man. and his fri Os

PRISON HELLS
In Which Captured Confederate
Soldiers Were Confined
DURING CAPTIVITY.
The Personal Recollectioi of An
Old Confederate Soldier. Who
Spent Some Time in the Prison
Pens of the North During the
War, Published in Reply to Cor
poral Tanner's Tirade.
To the Editor of The News and
Courier: I have read with feelings of
disgust the article headed "Union
Veterans Indignant." iin The Sunday
News of the 2G inst.
Corpl. Tanner said: "When the ac
cursed soul of Capt. Wirz floated into
the corridors of hell the devil recog
nized that his only possible competi
tor was there." This may be ac
icounted for by the fact that Capt. A.
Walker, provost marshal of the pris
on camt at Hart's Island, N. Y., was
still living.
can well remember. as a b;. still
in my teens, my arrival, at this pen
in the month of March, 1895, after
spending a time at Pollock Street
Jail at New Bern, N. C. It was a
fearfully cold, windy day, and when
we reached the sheds. occupying
three sides of a square and sur
rornded by the waters of Long Is
"and. we were delighted to find large
her.ting stoves known as self-feeders.
lallowing one to each hundred men,
and beside the door a ton of hard
coal. Imagine our disappointment
when, after a night of comfort, the
next morning the quartermaster
came and tore down every stove and
removed every lump of coal.
This was but the beginning, for in
a few days we were ordered to fall
in with all of our effects, then place
ithem before us upon the ground.
What then? A non-commissioned
officer started, and every keepsake
or any article of value, even to a
pocket knife was stole,-. This was
the order of the commandant, A.
Walker, not Major Wirz.
Every indignity was studied out
that they might he heaped upon us.
Push carts with pick and shovel were
provided, and the inen worked as
convicts clearing stone from parade
ground. All of this was done with
the plenty to eat referred to by Corp,
Tanner. I well remember at day
break one morning after being up all
night with my friend, Alick De
Choisey, Marion Artillery, going to
the well in the middle of parade
ground for a drink of water, an old
soldier, I forget his name, was a few
steps in front of me. Without a
word of warning we were fired upon
and the old soldier fell dead. When
I reached tne barracks and offered
the water to my friend, Alick. I
found him dead. Also, we had a hos
pital, but our poor fellows were al
lowed to remain in their bunks un
til they were so weak that many died
in being carried to it. Corpi. Tanner
says we gave them plenty to eat. He
certainly must be an ascetic.
For his information.; our bill of
fare was, one-half loaf of baker's
bread and six ounces of salt beef in
the morning. At twelve o'clock pea
soup, sometimes English split peas.
I will give the prescription:
Take a drinking tumbler of warm
water, add three teaspoonfuls of pul
'verized sulphur' and stir it well; you
have the soup.
The bill of fare was sometimes
changed, and we received four hard
tack and a small piece of boiled beef.
and at twelve o'clock Boston bean
soup, they told us. but if you took a
piece of gause and strained it you
could not find the skin of a bean to
a gallon. This is the plenty that we
iwere requirerd to live upon, except on
one occasion when an army wagon
load of green mutton was hauled in
which, if eaten, would have flisihed a
few thousands of our brave b.tys, but
our head doctor, who, by the way.
was at Fort Moultrie before the war.
and was a friend of the Rev. \:'hit
ford Smith, sent it out and we had
no meat.
Compare Wirz with Walker. Why.
if the devil knew Walker was coming
he would have evacuated hell befor '
he came in sight. Major Wirz let the
Northern prisoners have their boxes
sent -by friends. None ever entered
our prison without being rifled or
robbed, and few even then. I know
this firom the fact that I was at the
provost marshn'l's office as a clerk
with my friend, Jesse Colton Lynes.
and saw it almost daily. Well, I
think we left near 30 dead theire in
three months. I, at least, was not
in the emaciated condition referred
to by Corpl. anner, for I weighed
1 40 pounds. and when I reached
home I weighed only 95. So much
food did not agree with me. Mr.
Shierman. no doubt, in his march and
pillage, found sufficient food from the
simple fact that he robbed women
and children and left them to starve.
If the one hundred and odd thou s
and emaciated Confederate soldiers
that were so well fed in Northern
prisons had been released he never
would have disgraced this country
by such a march and the noble wo
men of the Confederacy could have
placed any inscription on their nmonu
ments without giving offence to thc
Gr-and Army of the Republic.
Children unborn during the war
are men now. Let us speak the
truth. Respectfully,

DESERTS HUSBAND
And Marries a Very Old Man in
New York City.
A Colored Woman From OrangeLurg
Figures in a Queer Marriage Cere
mony Up North.
It seems that a colored woman
from Orangeburg has taken one hus
band too much, which may get her
in trouble. The following is the
story as it is told by the New York
correspondent of the Washingto:
Herald:
City Clerk Scully got the biggest
surprise he has had since he went
into the mqrriage license business
when an aged negro, dressed in cleri
cal garb walked up to the desk this
afternoon with a young negro woman
clinging to his arm,' and said he
wanted to get a license just as soon
as possible, because he was in a hurry
to be married.
Clerk Scully took no interest when
the old person gave his name as Wil
liam Drooks Mason and said he was a
clergyman, but when on being asked
his age, he said, "I am 138 years
old. and can show you my Bible at
home to prove it," the city clerk
I dropped his pen in astonishment.
"This is a serious thing," the clerk
said. "You know you're under oath,
Brother Mason. and if you don't tell
me the truth about your age, I may
refuse to give you the license."
"Say, brother." replied the clergy
nman. "how do you-all suppose I
could have held George Washington's
horse at Yorktown if I ain't as old
as I say I am?"
The crowd of waiting applicants
began to grow so large at this stage
that Clerk Sculy filled out the li
cense and let it go at that. The wo
man gave her name as Ella Hines, of
68 West 122rd street, and said she
was twenty-eight years old. Then
the couple hunted up Alderman Jas.
J. Smith, and were married in short
order.
News of the aged minister's wed
Daniel Hines, with whom the bride
ding got to the. house of her brother
has been stopping for a few weeks.
before the bride and groom did, and
Mrs. Hines, who was running the
Mount Calvary Union Baptist mission
in the front part or on the second
floor, did not appear greatly pleas
ed.
"So she said her name was Hines
did she," Mrs. Hines said. "Well, she
has got no right to use that name.
She's already married, she is, and
she's got a husband and two sisters
down in Orangeburg, S. C. I've been
afraid she was trying to get that old
gentleman, and I've been trying to
tell him all about her, but I didn't
get a chance to correct him. My
husband was going to tell him, too,
but, he's kind of slow and didn't
think it was coming so soon.
"Lord bless you, I don't know
whether Elder Mason is 138 years
old, but he says he is. We didn't
know him until two weeks ago."
When Brother Hines arrived home
from work late in the afternoon, he
expressed himself in no uncertain
terms about the marriage. "You just
wait until I see Elder Mason." said
Brother Hines.
"He's a religicus man, and I know
how to talk to him about. marrying
my sister when she's already got a
husband and family. I'll just get
right behind him, and I'll burn him
up with my words."
The old preacher who looks like
a well preserved man of about eighty.
said that his mother married an In
dian in Cuba. and that when he was
young he went to 'Virginia with his
father, who was a sailor. He hap
pened to be in Yorktown when Gen
eral Washington was there, and thnM
is how it came about that he held
Washington's horse while he talked
with Cornwallis.
Elder Mason said he was In the
ten-year war in Cuba, and was a sail
Ior on the gunboat Lancaster during
the civil war. He had an eye shot
out on the Lancaster. but he can see
with his other eye without the aid
of spectacles. He said that his fath
er was 142 years old when he died,
his grandm other 143 and his mother
138. He smokes, but he said the
reason he is so husky at 138 is that
he never -takes anything with sugar
in it. and lives according to the
teahings of the Bible.
It is also said the aged clergyman
used to be a policeman in Washing
Iton..
The Earl Wants Money.
A few days ago another -rich
American woman gave herself to an
impoverished prince of Hungary in
exchange for his; effete title.J ust
before the new bride sailed for her
foreign home, Miss Alice Thaw,
another rich woman, who had given
herself to the Earl of Yarmouth. in
exchange for his title a few years
ago, came back to this country
thoroughly disgusted with the bad
bargain she had made in trusting
Iherself and money in the keeping of
a fortune hunting nobleman of the
old world. This once deluded wo
man has gone back to her girlhood
home with all the romance knocked
out of her by the brutality -of the
man she sold herself to, and she is
seeking a divorce.
Now comes the news that the
Thaws have been notified by attor
neys for the Earl of Yarmouth that
the latter will demand a settlement
inancially before submitting to a
divorce, as he holds a paper signed
by his wife before her marriage
' hichi will give him the right to col
lect heav ilv of her fortune. The
paper is an 'agreement that all her
fortun? shall pass to the house of
th E'arl in the event of her dying
chldie s
Te Earl seeks to recover the
modest sum from his wife's family
of one million dollars for having
married their daughter and giving
her the chance of beesming his
banker. The story goes that on the
ocasion of the Earl's marriage to
Miss Thaw that her brother Harry.,
on finding that the Earl had sent
his sister, as a wedding present a
loving cup of gold hurled the cup
through the window an~d threatened
to kill a servant who would have re
turned it to the house. Then Mrs.
Thaw brought peace b~y threatening
to have Harry's income cut off for
ive year. if he made another effort
to interfere with preparations,
which th? family had made to mar
ry a real live Earl into the family.
~Ther"e alwayM is so'mething of the

BOLD THIEVES
They Get a Sack Containing Three
Thousand Dollars
BY DARING ROBBERY.
The Express Agent at Mansfield,
Ohio, Knocked Senseless. and Then
the Thieves Got Away With One
Bag- of Money, but Overlooked
Another Bag That Contained For
ty Thousand Dolars.
One of the boldest robberies
ever known, took place at Mansfield,
Ohio. shortly after midnight Wed
nesday, when two masked robbers
entered the office of the Adams Ex
prss Company there, knocked Wil
liam Depew, the agent, unconscious,
and got away with $3,000, while
nearly fifty passengers stood about
the station waiting for trains.
A bag containing $40,000 in gold
was lying near the $3,000, but was
ovevrlooked by the robbers.
Telegrams were sent to the police
of the nearby towns and as a -result,
John McCue and Joseph Stevens
were taken into custody at New Lon
don. They had a sack token from
the express office containing the
$3,000.
Stevens, the police say. confessad
and implicated George McGinity. a
friend of Depew's, who was in the
office at the time and was covered
with a revolver during the robbery.
According to Stephen's story, the
money arrived Tuesday night from
Delphos, Ohio, and was consigned to
a bank at Hamilton, Ohio. Stevens
said McGinity tipped off the arrival
of the money, and cooked up a
scheme with him and McCue to rob
the office.
McGinity was locked up. He de
nies the charge.
Negro Killed in Manning.
Walter Davis, colored, was killed
at Manning Frlday night at a negro
dance, although there were quite a
number in attenaance no one seemed
to know how the killing was done.
The coroner empanelled a jury and
the testimony was heard, but the jury
thought it advisable to postpone its
findings. t
Must Toe the Mark.
The Democratic party will not try
the disastrous experiment of 1904
again in 1908. This is clearly indica
ted by the flat failure of the attempt
to hold a conference of Democrats
for the purpose of harmonizing par
ty differences by eliminating Bryan
through the patent trick of adopting
a platform of principles, upon which
he could not stand. "Although," as
the Washington Hcrald says "an ef
fort was made to give the contem
plated gathering an appearance of
fairness and impartiality, most of
the Democrats invited to attend it
were so suspicious of its purpose
that they declined to take part in it.
They would not have anything to do
~with a movement that could even
be suspected of an anti-Bryan flavor.
The meeting has been postponed to
a later date 'in order to avoid mis
construction.' That is to say it will
never be held. Yet, as we remarked
the other day, some of the promoters
of the conference were candid
nrough to admit that party harmony
could not be promoted by antagoni
zing Mr. Bryan. Their inconsisten
cy lay in supposing that they could
differentiate the man and the plat
form and repudiate one without of
fending the other. If the Democrat
ic party gets together, it ought to
be obvious by this time, it will have
to harmonize on a radical platform
or not at all. Any other compro
mise would lead to a second defeat
as disastroa% as that of 1904."
CAPERs, the Republican boss of
South Carolina, refers to Prioleau.
the boss of the Charleston Republi
cans as a ''heinous baboon." This
is a clear case of kettle calling pot
black. ________
THE Randal monument fund has
been started in Augusta for the pur
pose of erecting a monument in that
city to the famous war poet who
died few days ago. This is right and
proper.
THE Hon. James Norton must ex
pect to be a candidate for Congress
this Fall. He is whooping uip the
lein law in the name of the poor
man, which is a good indication that
he wants something better than he
has.
AT a hotel in Blufield, Va., Sun
day a man from Ohio offered to bet
$1,000 against $10 that Gov. Glenn
wuld be. esassinated before Christ
mas but there were no takers to his
bet. The fellow, no doubt, was an
irresponsible lunatic, who was just
airing the fantansies "of his weak
brain.
IF the State Supreme Court's de
cision declaring valid the disfran
chisement of voters is taken to the
United States Supreme Court, when
that eminent body of learned and
impartial lawyers get through with
it, it will be punched so full of holes
that the authors of it would hardly:
recognize it.
CAPERS, the dispenser of Republi
an pie in South Carolina does not
seem to have much respect for his
:olored fellow Republicans. He re
ently called one of them a "heir
us baboon." Really that is what
apers thinks every negro in the
State is, but he is afraid to say so.

wilderment? Of all those hundreds of
patterns and designs could one be
chosen that would prove satisfying
through many years of service? For
tunately tastes have changed during
the past few years, and we are no
longer tied down to one great dinner
set of a hundred or more pieces, but
we may have several sets for the dif
ferent courses of lunch or dinner, says
the Philadelphia North American.
These may be very simple or very
elaborate, as the taste and purse al
low, but they should be chosen with
great care and a.due regard to their
appropriateness to one's other furnish
ings.
A dinner set usually consists of from
100 to 150 pieces. The covered dishes
have attractive designs. The simpler
one would stand the test of time best
All large houses carry a number of
stock patterns, so that one may ac
quire a dozen breakfast plates at one
time, a half dozen coffee cups and sau
cers at another time, and so on, until
he has a complete set or as many
pieces as are needed in the family.
Such stock patterns are by no means
confined to the cheaper grades of china,
but many of the best potteries bring
out most desirable sets both in quality
and beauty of design. Well known
sets of this kind are the onion pat
tern, which is made in Germany at
I the Dresden and Royal Meissen pot
I teries and which has also been Imi
I tated in England. Its blue and white
Is very restful to the eye and appeals
to one the same way as do the old
willowware and the Canton blues.
I In buying china several points
should be kept well in mind. It is
cheaper in the end to buy a good qual
ity. By this is not meant elaborate
patterns. The simpler colors are the
better. Gold is expensive, and pieces
on which gold is used will cost accord
ingly. Where stencils are used com
paratively little brush work Is neces
sary, and, of course. all extra hand
work must tend to increase the price.
The finest brush work, known as stip
ple work, requires a skilled man. It
follows that if a piece of china has
only hand work it must prove very ex
pensive. Thus the price of a single
cup and saucer may run up to $30
or $40.
Always choose china which. has a
name on the bottom of the piece or
a maru. of the pottery. It is impossible
in a short article to give these marks.
Books are filled with them, and their
study Is one of great interest. It
should also be remembered that the
lasting qualities of china are not nec
essarily determined by Its thickness
or weight.
If you can begin your collection with
only a few pieces, be sure that they
are representative examples of the pot
teries whose names they bear.
How to Preserve Eggs For Winter.
There are many ways of preserving
eggs, water glass being now very
largely used for the purpose. The fol
lowing, however, is a very satisfactory
method of doing so: Take the eggs
when newly laid and place them with
the small end downward exactly per
pendicular in a board perforated with
holes for the purpose. It should be, say.
two feet by one foot six inches an'
have the legs five Inches long, say
Woman's Life. This will enable them
to be piled one upon another to
any extent as they are filled. Eggs
thus put in fresh from the nests in
August and September will keep till
winter as good as fresh ones not only
for cooking, but eating. If you desire
to be certain that your eggs are good
and fresh put them in water. If the
butts turn up they are not fresh. This
is an infallible rule for testing eggs.
How to Cure a Nervous Headache.
The ordinary nervous headache will
be greatly relieved and in many eases
entirely cured by removing the waist
of one's dress, knotting the hair high
up on the head out of the way and
while leaning over a basin placing a
sponge soaked in water as hot as it
can be borne on the back of the neck.
Repeat this many times, also applying
the sponge behind the ears, and the
strained muscles -and nerves that have
caused so much misery will be felt to
relax and smooth themselves out de
liciously. and very frequently the pain
promptly vanishes in consequence.
How to Have Sweet Peas All Summer.
When the sweet peas come into
bloom, cut their flowers off as soon as
they begin to fade. This prevents them
from forming seed, and the plants in
their efforts to perpetuate their kind
will straightway produce more flowers
and keep on doing this as long as inter
fered with. In this manner flowers
are secured throughout the entire sea
son. But if seed is allowed to form
you will have comparatively few flow
ers during the latter part of summer.
How to Remove Paint Spots.
Where a house is being done up paint
is not infrequently spilled on doorsteps,
and it is sometimes found difficult to
remove. In that case make a strong
solution of potash and wash the steps.
simply leaving the solution to soak in.
In a short time the paint win become
soft and then can be washed off with
soap and water. Then use cold water.
Paint whleh has been left for some
time will yield to this treatment
How to Preserve Taste of Olives.
Where a large 'oottle of, olives is
opened arnd only a part of them used.
the remainder, though left in the brine,

avoid this pour half an inch of olive
oil on the top and cork well. The ol
