\ iior. Kid gloves that are not. very badly soiled may be cleaned with white soap and milk. IDip a unger covered with a soft, white cloth into a little milk, rub it on the soap, then "rub the soiled parts of the glove until they are clean. This will not injure the most delicate colors. If stung by a bee or wasp, tie a thick plaster of wet salt over the injured spot. It will take out the pain at once. For a weak throat a nightlyi gargle of salt and water is an excellent strengthener. Use .a teaspoonful of salt to a glass of water.

I------- While some of the pugilistic stars of the present day are making big at the game, and saving it, riking contrast is the exper- that old-timer, Jake Kilrain, cnty,'yearS ago held an ex- alted place among the top-notchers. Like many others, Kilrain seems never to have had the commercial Last week he `led a'peti- tion in bankruptcy, with assets amounting to $67.10. And yet this man must have won in the ring sev- nrgc-sized fortunes. Such is money too, in st ience of who tw trail 1 ing Kilrain perform in Toronto a few months after his famous 75-round battle with John L. Sullivan at Rich- burg, l\1iss., in 1889. It was at the Mutual St. Rink, and he sparred six lively rounds with the Canadian champion, John F. Scholes, then only :1 little past his prime. Kil- rain's ne physique and splendid de. were much in evidence, but the honors on that occasion fell to Scholcs, although no decision was given on the merits of the contest.

From this dope, Gotch s prospects are -certain- ly the reverse of bright. 'Hacken- an easy winner." Tommy Burns, the J Canadian 3world s champion boxer, seems to have `.`put it up to Jack Johnson, the negro heavy-weight. Johnson, backed by the United States sport- ing press and his manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, has been going through the country indulging in a flood tide of talk and telling of the things he could do to Burns in the squared. circle. He has taken advantage of Burns absence in Britain to gain a lot of cheap notoriety in seeking to 1 imake it appear that the champion was avoiding a match with him. Burns, through a syndicate, now of- fers Johnson $5000, win, draw or i , lose, for a meeting in England and , has posted a forfeit as a earnest of good faith. Johnson and his mana- *. ger would seem to be at cross pur- . poses over the proposition. Seeing : that their blu has been called -Fitz- . patrick pretends to take exception to t the terms and refuses to consider the s.offer. On the other hand, Johnson r affects a willingness to accept. It is c the opinion of many that the negro cannot be induced to get into the same ring with Burns.

In that battle Johnson devel- ` ioped a yellow streak which anyone ` familiar with the situation knows is the very last thing he should carry |with him in a ght with :Burns. This negro is a vastly over-rated man. He has never done anything to war- rant the belief that he can whip Burns. Judging from his exhibition in Toronto recently, he is slow on foot and lacking in aggressiveness-3 two defects which should destroy his chances in a battle with :the speedy and hard-hitting Canadian. ` ' ' AJAX. ` . 6 V , I _ ' _`OfOf`.` \l'_IL C VVYVV Chicken and Rice Curry.-Melt 1 tablespoon butter, taking care that it does not brown; add I tablespoon flour, and when smooth stir in I cup milk.
