"Patrons eonie to me every'dayatjd say that the drawers of dresser^. and other furnittire stick fast and cannot be opened or shut without great dif ficulty," said the "complaint man" in a down towji furniture store. "This is the troii-iile w,it,h. triuCJy furniture, especially i&at wMch^'rietf, and te especially common in the spring. "What do we do in such cases? We 'siiinply te'l the customers to wet the surface of a bar of common laundry soap and rub it firmly over the parts of the. wood that stick. This makes the surface smooth and slippery, and in nearly all cases the drawer will slide easily, especially after it has been opened and shut a few times. "This also is valuable with doors which, in new flats, are likely to set tle or are apt to scrape at the top as the building settles. Just use soap on them and save the trouble of call ing in a carpenter, who will plane the varnish off. "China cabinet doors, with curved glass, cause us a lot of trouble, but most of the tightness can be reme died by tho ::se of soap and a few ap plications of sand paper." The furniture man gave another "helDful hint." "If mission furniture, with.the dull finish, loses its smooth surface and characteristic waxy appearance," he said, "do not despair and send it to the renovator. Take a pound cake of common floor wax and rub it over the surface until the finish is restored. If you have no floor wax use beeswax, and if you prefer something made es pecially for the purpose, you can buy liquid preparations, one of which Will temove the olrt finish, leaving the ta ble top or other object ready for the application of the other substance, which will duplicate the original fin ish." Doing Away With Whistle Nuisance. In connection with the whistle nuis ance, so often complained of by those living along the*lines of steam rail roads a western manufacturer sug gests that an invention for doing away with the nuisance will be a valuable device. He suggests that all locomo tives be provided with a reflector, the shape of a hood, either open front and back, or simply open forward. He claims that such a hood cr reflector will aid in throwing the sound further in front of the locomotivq, thus re ducing the danger from crossing acci dents or collisions,.-and that it will also prevent the sound being spread in all directions and uselessly annoy ing residents along the line. It is be lieved that the .use of such a reflector will render the sound of the whistle audibly at twice the distance reached by the whistle now in use and will thus ensure, greater safety to persons crossing the tracks. u V Th# Egotistical Lecturer.

One thing is to make a sale on goods at a season when a customer wants them, another is to make a cut price when they are supplied. Remember the Date. Remember the Red Tag. O i Bowbells, N. D. Obedience $ Help. There is a woman down in Indiana who is hale and hearty at (lie age of 100, and when she was asked to what she attributed her a^e and .health s! o replied, "Obedience." And this, too, at a time when the women are having the word "obey" taken out of the nr.a riage service and in other ways mani festing, the most supreme cor.tempt. for the old, obligation. It is not to be be lieved that there are many women wvo will care to drag out an existence at 100 yea^s in a state (if obedience, eve/i if a fair dearee of health is assui e!. The holy scriptures do not tell us how long the women lived, although we know that Sarah survived until SVJ was 127 and was so oV^dient that t'nn Lord blessed her with Isaac wher. she was 90. Ar.il it is fair to suppose that other good Hebrew wives were equiily long lived and successfu!. Thus we see that obedience is of the utmost importance to the human race and is the source of happiness and prosper ity. Still the women of this age are extremely stiff-necked and unreason able. Dr. Gordon's "Soft Snap." Dr. George A. Cordon, pastor of the Old South Church, tells this on hin? .self: Dr. Gordon, who was in ear'y manhood an ironworker of some sort, met -one of his former comrades of the "forge shortly after coming to the Old South, and his salutr.tion was: "Good morning, Mike!" "How are ye, George?" was Mike's reply. "How are you getting on, Mike?" asked the minister. "Onl£ fair, George. AM the hard work I want but.what are you driv ing at, George?" "Oh, I'm pastor of the church yon see over yonder." "What, you preacher in that s^ell church with the steeple out of plumb?" "Yes, Mike, I'm the pastop," replied Dr. Gordon, an amused smile on his face. "By G—d, George, but you've struck a soft snap!"—Boston Herald. The One-Sided Girl. "She has pretty hair," the athletic girl admitted, "but it is never dressed evenly. The right sitJ« always looks much better than the left." "That is because she never moves her bureau," said the wise girl. "Her room is so small that she can't haul things around, so month in and month out her looking glass stands in the same corner by the window, and month in ar-1 month out she dresses, with her right side to the light and the left in shadow. "Conre u« ."ltly one-half of her face and hair Is 'wall qrocrned, while the other half r^ts pnly a lick and a promise. Any girl who would avoid looking one sided must dress one week with her right side to the window, the next week with her left side In the light" "I hope, senator," ventured the up right citizen, "that you never allowed anyone to hint about a bribe in your presence." "I should say not," replied Senator Boodle, with much emphasis. "Air, I an *o glad to hear it." I'Np. sir, I never allowed them to hltrt because It took up too much time.
