several times, as the chloride OF lime
Will injure the cloth If allowed to re-
main on it too long. a. A solution of
chloride of lime Is the only thing l
have ever found to have any effect on
that ugly and tenacious stain. A tea
spoonful ofdry chloride to a quart of
soft water will give about the necessary
strength. Soak the article in the solu-
tion from ten to twenty minutes, then
dry in the sun. Repeat the process till
the stain disappears. The time required
will OF course depend on the intensity
of the stain. If very deep and Of long
standing, a little stronger solution may
be required. (3). Get the dryest chic
ride of lime you can buy, and, for
strong fabrics, dissolve four table
spoonfuls OF it In one pint of water.
Let the mildewed article lie in this So
luton for fifteen minutes. Tako it out,
wiring 1t gently, and put Immediately
In weak muriatic acid, one part acid and
four parts water. For delicate fabrics,
the solution or lime should be much
weaker; three or four times the guam
:lty of water should be put TO the lime.
Let the article lie In 1t only five min
utes, and then put it into the muriatic
acid. Instantly wash thoroughly in
cold water. az. Take FIVE cents worth
of lime, dissolve it in pail OF water,
and put IN tho cloths; let them remain
three or four hours, then wash, and the
mildew will all disappear. (5). Rub

and rub it also on the cloth; lay it on

the order and he could pay il. went back
to Mr.. Case aud he said that order was
good for nothing; that he would give me
a bond and | could so to the bank and they
would cash it for ten per cent. discount, and
l could then pay my taxes. l said that is

Our Rapidly Growing National Wealth

The times have been hard these past
five years; they are still so. Yet, as q
people, we have for three years, at least
been rapidly growing richer in material
wealth, and this is the case to-day. And
what benefits the people as a whole, will
in due time benefit the individuals making
up the entire mass. In the era Of imitation
and wild speculations, Of enormous expen-
ditures, of money borrowed for war expen-
ses, for building railroads, for municipal
improvements, or those so-called, we i'm
agined we were fourishing. 1t was a
deception we were only running in debt
were Hs a people and as individuals
reveling in borrowed funds. As a nation
as a people, as individuals, we were, in
1872, relatively poorer than at any time
before in this century. Expenses largely
exceeded income. In 1878, we got to the
end OF our credit; the brakes were put on
by foreign money lenders; every body was
scared. Then we began 10 see and feel the
mass of debt.

down off from the "high horse" Expenses
have been cut down, and the lower style
of living has been fell. But we have been
economizing, without greatly reducing the
actnal amount of production OF zeal
wealth, that which comes from the soil.
Many hundreds of millions OF dollars
more have been produced during the past
twelve months .han have been expended
The figures will bear out this statement
We do not feel this, because so much OF
the increase has gone to pay up previously
incurred debts; but we are gradually
liquidating these, and if we keep on thus
we shall, as people, have this surplu,
production to use and enjoy. Below is an
illustration of what is stated above. FoI
years we kept buying and using up vast
amounts OF foreign understanding in
debt for tlem-paying in promises to pay
in Government and railway "bonds," il
a mortgage upon our property. The fol
lowing figures show how in five years WI
have diminished the importing of these
foreign products, and on the other hanC
have been exporting and selling the pro
ducts of our fields, factories, and mines

that the four great planets, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune, all coming into con.
junction in perihelia this year, will set the
physical world in wild commotion, and
cause trouble beside which the yellow fe
