The housewife’s duties are harder than men
realize. Cleaning alone is a constant tax on her
strength, a never-ended task. More than half the
work of cleaning she can have done for her, if she
will, and the expense will be next to nothing.

Does the better half of cleaning; does it better
than any other way known; does it easily, quickly
and cheaply. Largest package—greatest economy.

Will Make a Continuous Line From Milford
to Stamford.
The extension of the trolley line
from Southport has been completed,
with the exception of stringing the
wires along a portion of the route, and
this work, it is expected, will be finish-
ed in a few days. The Bridgeport
Traction Company olilcials are arrang-
ing for the running of cars Sunday next,
when it is the intention of the officials
to announce the formal opening of the
new branch. \Vorkmen have been
industriously laboring all the spring
on the extension, and the, rainy weather
has to some extent interfered with the
progress of the work. The contrac-
tors, however, managed to work many
days when rain fell.
This extension makes a' direct line
from Milford to Stamfort‘b and when
the proposed extension from ll’oodmont.
to New Haven is accomplished it will
make a long trip by trolley.

STRENGTH .o'F MOHAMMED ALI.
iIiS Handling of Europeans Prove Him to
be :1 Born Leader of Men.
One of the most remarkable traits in
:he Pasha’s character was his mania
for foreigners, an eagerness to welcome
strangers of ever degree, to listen to
hem, reward and help them if possible,
ind above all to persuade them to be-
ieve in his schemes of reform. In
iis opinion, the fellah was a serf, a
3east of burden; the Turk, a hopeless
Jarbarian, fit only to be his sergeant,
)1‘ tax collector; but a third element
'emained, by the cultivation .of which
1e might create an instrument of profit,
1 bulwark of defense, and even a final
"efuge from his enemies. In no re-
spect did he prove himself more eon—
spicuously to be a born leader of men
:han in his consummate handling of
Europeans with whom he had to deal.
He was only an ignorant Major of
Bashi-Bazouks, knowing little of our
rivilization, yet by his genius for ex-
Jloiting the wants and ambitions, the
vices and failings of Europeans in gen-
eral, by making himself indespensable
:0 all of them in turn, he gained their
oyalty- and enthusiasm just as if he
lad been one of an old and long—estab-
ished .nasty of Christian Kings in
Alexandria. The fact remains to his
:redit that, as a whole, the interested
European colony of Egypt gloried in
:he strength of Moham-med Ali, feared
aim, and lamented his fall at the hands
at Palmerston as the ruin of their own
’ortunes.—-D. A. Cameron.
Treatment of Goldfish.
in cases where goldfish are, kept.
.n vessels in rooms, etc., they
should be kept in spring water.
The water will require to be
changed according to the size' of.
the. bowl or the number of fish .
kept, but it is not well to change the
water too often. In a vessel or bowl
that will hold a common size pail of
water, two fish may be kept by chang-
ing the water once a fortnight, and so
on in proportion. If any food is sup-
plied them it should be a, few crumbs
of bread dropped in the water two or_
three times a week, and occasionally a
few aut‘s eggs. The bread must not
lemain in. the water, or it will become
sour. ‘
fi’ash for the Hands.
The care of the hands should always
occupy special attention. The fol- .
lowing recipe will keep them soft and
white: Take equal parts of rose-wa-
(91‘ and glyceriné.‘ mix while warm and
keep firmly corked. The bottle
«.irxuld be shaken before using. If
..'.c hands are very rough, it is best
:0 put two-thirds of glycerine to one
tf rose-water. Rub well over the
cards after washing, and also apply
as; thing at night. To sleep' in loose
suede gloves is also a good practice. ,

LIKELY TO ATTACK HAVANA
The Oregon Blade Quick Time in Joining

I
Have Been Purposely Misleading—
Stringent Blockade Rules.
Washington, May 19,—It is reported
that Commodore Schley’s flying squad-
ron has formed a junction with Admi-
ral Sampson’s squadron of armor-clad:
off Key West, and that the combined
fleet will shortly move against Hava-
na.
Commodore Sohley’s flyling squadron
{is composed of the armored cruise]
Brooklyn, flagship; the battleships
Massachusetts and Texas, and the aux-
iliary cruisers St. Paul and Scorpion
The collier Sterling also left Hampton
Roads with the other'ships and should
be in the vicinity of Key West. .
The vessels composing Admiral
Sampson’s squadron are the armored
cruiser New York, the battleships Iowa
and Indiana, cruisers Detroit and
Montgomery, the monitors Amphitrite
and Terror, the torpedo boat Porter
and the collier:Niagara.
Gen. Tracy’s Opinion.
Former Secretary Tracy was among
the visitors at the navy departmen’.
yesterday. He had a long talk with
Secretary Long.
In discussing the war problem he said
he is convinced that the Spanish fleet"
came over .to this side of the water f0]
the sole purpose of breaking the block-
ade off Cuba. Without pretending tc
be the custodian of any exclusive offi-
cial information on the subject, General
Tracy says the Spaniards are trying to
establish direct communication with
Blanca, and in spite of the mysterious
movements of their fleet we should not
lose sight of that idea.
Stringent Blockade Rules.
Key \Vest, F1a., May 19.-——Anticipa-
tory of some important movement
within a few days, more stringent rules
have been laid down regarding the
blockade of the Cuban coast by Com-I
modore \Vatson.
This, ltoo, in spite of 'the fact that
the blockade has itself settled down to
a. dull routine that is decidedly irksomc
to the men on the ships that have. been
on duty off the coast for ten days 3
two weeks.
Evidently the Spaniards are expect-
ing something as well as the Ameri~
cans—possmly the arrival of their own
fleet off Havana—for again last night
beginning at dusk, the light above Mor‘
r0 Castle flashed at thirty second inter.
vals, as it was wont to do before war
was declared, for the guidance of mar-
iners. ,
Until night before last, however, since
that'time the beacon has not glim-
mered.

Oregon liIade Fast Time.
The battleship Oregon is safe. She
has evaded all the Spanish warships
and has joined Admiral Sampson’s fleet
This news has relieved the anxiety fell
at XVashington for her, and naval offi-
cc-rs are much pleased.
According to information given out
here and by Lloyd’s agent, -who tele-
graphed to London from Bahia, the
Oregon saliled from that port early or.
W'ednesday, May 11, presumably for
Key West. The distance on the chart
to Cape St. Roque, the most easterly
point of South America, is about 706
miles, and from the cape to Jamaica,
about where Admiral Sampson’s fleet
must be, is about 2,800 miles, or a total
of 3,500 miles to be traversed by the Or-
egon before she could reach our fleet..
As it is just six days since she left
Bahia, it is hard to figure out how she
could have made the distance in ’so
short a time. Even at a speed of four-
teen knots it would take her ten days
to make the distance.
The presumption is, in View of these
facts, that the Oregon really sailed
from Bahia several days ahead of the
time announced in Washington and
London; that news of her departure
was purposely delayed to mislead the
Spaniards.
As a lighting machine the addition 01
the Oregon to Admiral Sampson’s fleel
will be most welcome. It will enable
him to leave-the monitors behind and
give him three first class battleships t.)
use.
