MUSLIN dresses, even the most delicate,
can be cleaned in ten minutes or a quar-
ter of an hour, without losing their color.
Melt half a pound of soap in a gallon of
water, empty in washing tub; place
near two other large tubs of clean water,
and stir into one a quart of bran. Put
the muslin in the soap, turn it over and
knead it for few minutes; squeeze it out
well, but do not wiring it, lest it turn rinse
1t about quickly in the bran for couple
OF minutes. Rinse again for a couple of
minutes in clean water, Squeeze 1t out
dry and hang it between two lines. A
clear, dry day should be chosen to wash
muslin dresses; half dozen may be done
this way in half an hour. The last rinse
may be prepared the same way as the
rinse for wooden fabrics. A colOred pat
tern on white ground must not be blued.
The bran may here be dispensed with.
When the dress is dry make the starch
for colored muslin white starch, and
unboiled, but made with boiling water is
best for muslin dresses. Stir the starch
with the end of wax candle. Dip the
dress. Hang it again to dry. When dry,
rinse it quickly and thoroughly in clear
water. Hang ito dry again. Sprinkle
and roll it up; afterward iron II with
very hot irons. Hot irons keep the
starch stiff. The rinsing after starching
is called clear. .starching; none of the stiff
ness but much of the unsightliness of the
starch is removed in this way. The ad.
vantage of thus cleansing dresses instead
of washing them is: First, if colored, the
process is so rapid that there is not time
for the colors to run; and secondly, the
fabric is not rubbed, and therefore not
strained and worn out; thirdly, the proc
ess saves nearly all labor, and is so quick.
ly done that any lady can manage it for
herself in the absence of a laundry maid
or lady's maid.-Western Rural.

The Lawn and Home Grounds.

THOSE of our readers who have lawn
shaded with trees about their house--and
those who have not should have-ought
not to neglect raking away the leaves and
other trash that may have accumulated
during the winter. Those who have neg
lected to keep the grass cut short in the
fall will find their spring raking an oner-
ousJCb. Besides the greater difficulty in
getting together the leaves and other
trash that are sure to accumulate, there is
the added objection that the greenness of
the grass will not show until 1t has &C.
quired sufficient height to overtup the
dead foliage remaining,
When the lawn Is of considerable ex.
tent, it will pay to buy one-hUrse lawn
mower, for with this the lawn can easily
be gone over early in the morning while
yet the dew is on. If small the hand
machine will answer as we'll. When the
lawn is of large extent those portions re.
mote from the house may be mown with
an ordinary moving machine if set to cut
close. This cutting should be done at moi
longer intervals than two weeks. In rak
ing up the accumulated trash Of winter
1T is best performed when the leaves, etc
are somewhat damp; at all events il
should be done when the weather is mild
1t used to be considered necess ary, in
order to have a good lawn, that the sur
face should be kept sheared close to the
earth, but under this system, it is impos.
| slble to keep permanent turf unless
there are facilities for artificial water
ings. From one to two inches is olcse
enough to NOW, and this can be easily
| accomplished with any of the ordinary
moving machines where the surface is
large enough and open enough to allow
Its work. This may easily be accom-
| plished on lawn of an acre In extent, II
not too much occupied with shrubbery
and trees.
One of the great mistakes made in or
namenting both suburban and farm
houses is the planting of an excessive
number of trees, which, as they acuuirt
age, not only shut out the view entirely
but also often render the place absolutely
unhealthy, Trees on the lawn should be
used only for ornament and necessary
shade. Shrubbery may be planted at the
turns of the roadways and walks, TO in,
crease and heighten the effect but, in do.
ing all this, full view of the house and
other salient points of the country be
yond should not be obstructed To Sc
cure these requisites of light and shade
| there should be ample space between the
trees and clumps for air and sunlight. II
this be attended to, each tree or clump
will have ample space for development,
and thus not only create a grateful shade
but enhance the beauty of the surround
ings. Therefore, if you have planted toe
thickly, see to il that the thinning be done
in such season as to secure ample foliage
and, at the same time, a fair view beyond

A Sleigh-Ride In June.

THE Syracuse IN. Y } Journal says: The
remarkable continuance of cold weather
through April this season has set people
to looking up old weather records. A
diary kept at Hartford, Conn, of the
snowstorms in April and May, from 1S49
TO 1874, shows that these storms are much
more frequent than is generally supposed.
In this record of twenty-five years there
are thirty.seven days of snow, fall of not
less than half an inch on any day, and as
much as foot on few, with good sleigh
ing. The result of the research in another
quarter is the bringing to light of an ac-
count of sleigh-ride in June, in Eastern
New York, contained in a record made
by the late Henry r. Wendell, of Sche.
nectady:
Be it recorded, that posterity may
know, that on June 8, 1916, in the morn
ing it showed, and that it has frozen for
three nights ice quarter of an inch
thick, and the leaves are falling off the
trees as they do in the fall. l was then
living in the town of Niskayuna, at Alex
ander's Bridge (since the building of the
canal called the Aqueduct), and on the
afternoon of the 9th day of June, 1916,
went four miles to the city of Schenectady
in sleigh. HENRY r. WENDELL"

purpose for soiled clothing, open enough

have no means of ascertaining this
morning how far science has attended to
this subject of closet ventilation, but am
very sure that it is an important matter,
and should be well looked into. 0fcourse
there can be closets with windows in
them, and this should generally be the
case. They can be kept dark, as a gen.
eral rule, If desired, but it ought to be
possible to admita flood of light.
Closets built under stairways might be
ventilated by CRATE closed by a sliding
shutter under one of the stairs. 1t would
be well to have the CRATE capable of being
shut to keep out dust when the stairs are
swept. do not know whether this has
been tried, but the idea has occurred to
me as practicable. A sliding window in
the closet door is also possible. The
small sliding window in the door and
the CRATE in the elevation of one of the
stairs ought to give a sufficient circula.
tion of air to a small stairway closet.

The Condor.

WE can tell you an anecdote about the
condor's power of life. A miner in Chilli,
very strong man, once saw q condor en-
ioying his feast ON the mountains. He
had eaten so much that he could not fly,
and the man attacked ana tried to kill
him. The battle lasted long time, and
the man was nearly exhausted. But in
the end he thought he was the victor, and
left the condor dead, as he imagined, on
the field. Some of the feathers he car
ried off in triumph to show to his com
panions, and told them he had never
fought 80 flerte battle. The other miners
went TO look at the condor, when, to their
surprise, he was standing erect Tapping
his wings in order to fly away. A bird
with such powers of life continues to ex-
ist years and years. Indeed, the condor
is said to live for a century. The Indian
tries to catch the condor by stratagem.
He employs him 90 fight In ring at
those cruel bull-fghts which are the ia
vorite amusements in that part of the
world. He does not attempt to attack the
condor openly, for he knows how strong
he Is, and he wishes besides, TO take him
alive. He pfoGures the skin of COW and
hides himself beneath it. Some pieces OF
flesh are left hanging to the skin, and are
sure to attract the condor. He comes
pouncing on the prey, and while he is
feeding with his usual greediness the In
dian eontriYos TO fasten his legs to the
skin. When this is done he comes oRt OF
his concealment and the bird sees him foI
the first time. He flaps his wings and
would Fly but that his feet are entangled
and more than this, number of Other
Indians come running up ami throw theiI
manLles over him.-StOries AbOut Birds.

Snail HusbandrY.

In the Voralberg, bit of the Tyrol
that juts in like wedge between Bavaria
and Switzerland, there are regular snai.
gardens, intended to subserve the twofold
purpose of Kidding the farmers of nui
sance and providing an article of food for
such human beings as can relish it. In
various parts of the canton or district,
during two or three summer months, the
gardens, hedges, coppices, woods and
damp places are thoroughly examined by
boys and girls, who collect the snails and
deposit them in small plots of ground set
apart for the purpose. Each of these
plots forms dry garden an acre or two
in extent, free from trees and shrubs and
having moat or running water all around
it.
The plot is covered with little heaps of
twigs of the mountain pine, mixed lightly
with moss; these heaps are placed at reg
ular distances apart. The snails creep
into them for shelter alike against the
cold of night and the heat of midday
sun. When this shelter Is lessened by the
decay of the small leaves ON the twigs,
the heaps are furnished up with o new
supply. Every day the snails are fed
with cabbage leaves and grass, receiving
an extra allowance in damp weather.
When harvest is over and winter shows
signs of approaching, they regularly bur-
row themselves in the heaps, ana (fgura-
lively speakingl tuck in snugly for the
winter. The water, after flowing all round
the margin of the plot, escapes by one
outlet only; and at this outlet the moat is
guarded by grating.
The snails often tumble into the water
while crawling about their domain, or get
into it somehow or other, and are carried
by the stream toward the grating; this is
examined every morning and all the wan
derers taken back to their garden. When
the snails have sealed themselves up they
are collected for the market, packed in
perforated boxes lined with straw. Ac
cOrding to the plentifulness of the grass
and cabbage crop, each plot or garden
may contain from $4,000 to 10000 snails,
some of which come to grief before the
summer is over; but the ma jority are des-
tined to the honor of appearing on the
dinner-table or suppertable of the South
Tyrolese inhabitants, who greatly relish
them. The system is certiinly com
mendable one, seeing that it brings to an
available market what would otherwise
be a nuisance and source of loss to the
husbandman.-AH the Year Round

1T WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM OF the
SpaFtans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemper
ance and its kindred vices, TO make their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
marketplaces, so that the rising genera.
tion, upon whom would some day devolve
the honor and safety of the Lacedemo.
milan Republic, might see before them all
the ghastly details of the drunkard's dis
grace, his loss of reason and of physical
strength. 'Twere well, perhaps, to-day,
could some of our young men contem-
plate similar instructive lesson drawn
from the life, showing them, by sharply
drawn contrast, the advantages and true
loveliness of abstinence and virtue.
