FIVE WAYS TO REMOVE MILDEw FROM
LINEN.-O Wet the spot with lemon
juice, then spread over 1t soft soap and
chalk mixed together, and spread where
the hottest rays of the sun will beat
upon it for half an hour. If not en-
tirely removed, repeat the operation.
Or wet with clear lemon juice and lay
in the sun; or soak for an hour or two
and then spread in the sun. Or mix
softsoap, powdered starch and half as
much salt together, and moisten
freely with lemon juice; spread this on
both 81 'es of the spots and lay in the
sun. AS soon as 1t Is dry repeat the
operation, and continue till the spots
disappear. If newly spotted: one wet
ting will be sufficient. Or wet the
spots with chloride of lime dissolved in
water, spread In the sun few minutes
and then rinse. Repeat In case the mil
dew Is not all removed, but do not let
this preparation remain more than u
few minutes at a time before rinsing,
even II the process has TO be repeated
several times, as the chloride of lime
will injure the cloth If allowed to re-
main on 1t too long. (2.) A solution of
chloride of lime Is the only thing |
have ever found to have any effect on
that ugly and tenacious stain. A tea
spOonfHl 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, little stronger solution may
be required. (3). Get the dryest chlO-
ride of lime you can buy, and, for
strong fabrics, dissolve four table
spoOnfuls of 1t in one pint of water.
Let the mildewed article lie in this So
luton for fifteen minutes. Take 1t out,
wiring it 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
;ity of water should be put TO the lime
Let the article lie in it only five min
utes, and then put it into the muriatiC
acid. Instantly wash thoroughly In
cold water. a.. Take five cents worth
of lime, dissolve it in pail OF water,
and put IN the cloths; let them remain
three or four hours, then wash, and the
mildew will all disappear. (5). Rut
well with soap, then scrape fine chall
and rub it also on the cloth; lay IL or
the grass; as it dries, wet little. Il
| will 'ome out after twice repeating the
operation.

That Dollar,

A stranger who was the other day
having his boots blacked by one of the
post Office brigade, asked the lad what
he should do if some one should hand
him dollar.
"i'd give half of it to the heathen and
spend the rest on the FOURTH" was the
reply.
''That's right-yOu are a good boy"
continued the man, 81 like to give
money to such lad as you"
When the boets were finished he
handed the boy nickle, and walked
of, never referring to the dollar which
the boy had been almost certain of
He had gone about half block when
the boy overlook him and asked:
"Did you intend to give me a dol
lar"
"Oh, no. I simply wanted to see
what you wonld do with it.'
'Well, I've been thinking it all
over" said the boy, "and I'll tell you
what I'D do. I'd take it and hire some
one to pare my feet down so | could get
number 'levens on without springing
my jints out of line"
The stranger looked from his feet to
the boy and back, then across the street
to policeman, and as he turned to go
he muttered:
''Well, I've found out what he would
do with it, but don't know as | feel
any better for it,"

A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his

The wolf changes his hair every year
but remains a wolf.
Dog, why do you bark? TO frighten
the wolves away.
Dog, why do you keep your tail be-

Make friends with bear, but keep
hold Of the axe.
Ev' rything is bitter to him who has
gall in his mouth.
Bread and salt will humble a rob-
ber.
If you hunt two horses you will catch
neither.
You may shut the door on the devil,
but he will enter by the window.
Praise not the crop until 1t is stack

1t is not necessary to plow and SOW
fools; they grow of themselves.
Truth is not drowned In water nor

Oh, woman, woman, you are always
getting somebody into scrape! A
few nights ago several burglars ef.
fected an entrance to house in Mon
tresl. They wandered through the
house collecting all the valuable
clothing they could find, rolled it up
and threw II out of the window.
They found their way into the bed
room, where Mr.. Menard, the man of
the house. and his wife sleep. Here
they found watch and chain, gold
ring and several other valuables, OF
which they quietly took possession.
The last of the burglars to leave the
room had to pass by the bed where
Mrs. Menard lay asleep. He paused
for a moment aud then resolved to
add to his stealings the theft Of a
kiss. He stopped down and kissed
the Sleeping beauty who was
awakened. She recognized the burg
lar, who has since been arrested
