Milk to Clean White Gloves.
The smell of gasoline on white gloves
is so very objectionable to some people
they hesitate about using it. It is a
possible thing to clean gloves and do it
well, too, without using gasoline. Till;

there being no odor. It is also easier
on the hands. Gasoline is very rough-
ening to the skin. _ ,To clean gloves sue,

Nose and Goggle Party.
A family of fun loving girls recently
gave an amusing party. It was called
a nose and goggle party and helped a
number of young people to,.pass an
evening very merrily without muchex
penditure of energy and thought itt the
matter of a disguise.
Each guest wore a false nose and
,goggles. The noses were purchased or
made by clever flugers of heavy card-
board coveredwith chamois and were
not removed until after refreshmennts
were served:
As the guests arrived each was given
a card perforated with ribbon ;run
through in order to wear the card
around the neck, so that eveyy one
could see it.
The cards bad on one side a number
by which each guest was known, on
the other side a list of figures -1, 2, 8,
etc. (as many figures as there were
guests)—with a space opposite each fig-
ure for a name.
In the soci t conversation which fol-
lowed each gest guessed who his or
her entertainer was. Qf course, with
intimate friends the familiar voice re-
vealed the personality, but in many
cases' this was not easily done, if they,
attempted to disguise the voice;• and
much amusement and many absurd
guesses were made.
As each guess was made the name.
was placed opposite the number on the
card of the guesser corresponding to
the number of the person with wbom
he or she was talking. For instance, if
some one thought he knew No. 4 he
turned his card and wrote the name op-
posite No. 4, etc. It was voted by ail
the gay people who were present as no
end of fun and a most original way of
spending a jolly evening.

Advice to Municipalities.
Frank advice to Canadian munici-
palities desiring to borrow in London
is tendered by The Financial Times,
in referring to -the postponement of
Ions by the cities of Montreal,' Ote
tawa and Toronto. The failure of the
recent Vancouver issue to '"obtain
public support is given as the prin-
cipal reason for the postponement of
these proposed Ioans and the cause
of this fiasco as well as the difficulty
now being experienced in placing
Canadian municipal issues is stated
to die with the municipalities them-
selves, the reason being • that the
municipal authorities have a too ex,
alted idea of their credit and are •not
disposed to listen to the advice con-
stantly tendered by the financial
agents.
"An instance of this," says The
Financial Times, is ,provided by
Montreal. In the early part of Feb-
ruary, when Montreal was making
enquiries about a new Loan, the state-
ment was made in the Montreal press
that the Bank of Montreal, the• eity's
financial agents in London, had stated
that an issue of $5,000,000 of four per
cent. stock could be made at 99 per
cent., but the city authorities would
not accept such a price, and the sug-
gestion was made that a getter price
could be obtained in Paris.
"The policy which the , Canadian
municipalities have been 'pursuing is
to give their leans to the highest bid.
der. It has been repeatedly pressed
upon the municipalities that they
should place themselves in the hands
of their financial agents to do the
best for thew, instead of going out-
side, and they are now beingforced
to realize, to their own discomfiture,
that it ds better to follow their iinan-
eial agent's advice."
Motoring Through Canada.
A recent issue of Lord Montagu of
Beaulieu's paper, "The Car," contains
a four-page article contributed by
the Hon. Margaret Amherst, who re-
cently made an extensive motor tour
through the Dominion, accompanied
by . several well-known society folk,
among, whom was Mr. Evelyn Cecil,
M.P., whose . photographs illustrate
the article. Alluding to the ubiquity,.
of the motor ear in Canada, the writ-
er says:
"In Eastern cities it is natural
enough, but in the West it is certain-
ly
surprising
to Yfinditi 9
p such uch
n gen-
eral use. In Montreal, Toronto, and
Ottawa, cars, with their `hooters' and
odor of petrol, are as much a feature
of St. Catherine street, or Yonge
street, or Wellington street, as of
Piccadilly, and the smart appearance
of their up-to-date bodies, occupied
lig 'chic and . fashionable owners, is
in no way behind that of their Lon-
don contemporaries."
Getting Together.
While discussing church union one
day recently, a clergyman told a good
story about Rev. Dr. Carman, the vet-
eran general superintendent of the
Canadian Methodist Church.
Dr. Carman appeared at the Pres-
byterian General Assembly, bearing
greetint, from his church. He • said;
"Presbyterians and Methodists are
getting very much alike. You Pres-
byterians believe in the Final Per-
severance of the Saints, brat you de
not practice what you preach. We
Methodists believe in failing from

for the real Englishman, whom every-
body wants in the country."
When asked to tell about the farm,
he rreplied:
"My brother-in-law, Lord Somers
of Herefordshire, bought the farm
Iast fall, and is there now.. There is
no house on it, but I have rented an
empty house in Pickering, and we
:shall have to build our farm house.
"No, we are not going in for any
especial cro?. We shall raise fruit,
wheat, and garden truck. When we
have developed into real farmers it is
likely we shall buy another farm."
"But was the system of taxation
the thing that caused you to leave
England?" was asked.
'"No; there was another reason.
One's money can be put out at larger
interest in Canada than in England.
Besides, we think it will be healthy
for the children to have the outdoor
life that will be their's on the farm.
"My son will go back to school in
the winter, and we too shall return
tq London when the winter comes .
on."
While Lord Hyde was discussing
his plans. Lady Hyde stood between
the children. With a hand on either
of the children, she suddenly said:
"We are going to teach our children
to forget the titles of aristocracy and
buckle down to hard week."
Teaching Europe.
Canada is spreading out. It was
not long ago that we stood open-
mouthed at the luxury of Europe,
and now we are teaching it things.
The C.P.R. has invaded Austria. The
company has made a contract with
the Austrian, .Government to supply,
and operate a • system of observation
cars on the most picturesque sections
of the Austrian State Railways, in-
cluding the main route to Vienna via
Zurich. The Swiss Government is
also interested in the project. Con-
cession has been obtained from Aus-
tria that Zurich shall be the eastern
terminus. Great interest is showd tri
the innovation throughout the dual
monarchy. Hungarian politicians are
already demanding that the service
be extended to Budapest.
Canadian Pacific engineers have
been selected as being the most ex-
perienced in similar conditions pre-
vailing in the Rocky Mountains of
North America. The cars are already
under construction and will be espec,
Tally adapted to meet local condi.
tions. They will havea length of 22-
1-2 metres and wilI " be the longest
four -axle cars in Europe. The seating
capacity of each car will be 32,passen
gers. Seats in these cars will cost a
supplementary fare of only $1 and
will be available for second-class as
well as first-class passengers. This
provision was adopted at the request
of the ' Austrian Government, which
desires to make the service a popular
one.
B. C.'s Big Game.
With the exception of antelope and
musk-ox, British Columbia has every
species of big game that exists on
the continent; even the rarest of their
being found in fair quantities. In
addition, there . are wild fowl and
game birds of various species, ,some
native and others acclimatized, that
furnish sport; while the waters af-
ford the finest trout and salmon fish-
ing in the world. It is probable that
there
are more
moose
e to the
square
mile in the Canadian 'Rockies than
in any other part of the continent,
and every year their numbers seem
to increase- So far, the country has
never, been hunted' except by a few
prospectors. Whether the horns at-
tain the large size of the Cassier
moose has yetsto be determined, but
some very fine heads have been seen.
In this distriet, Cariboo are very
plentiful on the higher plateau, and
in places both grizzly and black "bear
are numerous.
A Profitable Deal.
T' 'fruity years ago Dr. Coleridge of
Ingersoll gave g ve a gold watch, an in-
expensive one at that, for 1,600 feet
of land on Soudan avenue, Toronto.
The owner got tired carrying them
and was quite willing to take $25 for
the ttuoch, but as the doctor' watoh
was just what he wanted, the doctor
got the lots. •
' Recently Dr,. Coleridge sold the pro-
perty for $11 a foot, or nearly $18,000.

Beating Speaker.
Col. Henry R. Smith, Sergeant•a

since 1872, has some good stories
tell concerning the expedients e
ployed by members of the House
Commons to question the truthful--"
ness of other honorable member -
without being called upon by add
Speaker to ,retract.
A Westerner once called a fellow -
member a liar in the House, and;
when urged to retract remarked the
he would withdraw the expressie
out
of respect pec to the Speaker,
ii :•
added that he would certainlycalx
the member a liar outside the pry
cincts of the chamber. But in mod
cases attacks on veracity are mbrd-
cleverly clothed in verbiage,
