LAUNDRY LESSONS

Before beginning to wash, all the bed
linen and underclothing should be placed
by themselves, the table linen and tea
towels put in another pile, the flanneE
should be treated similarly, while color
ed clothes should be laid aside to wash
last. Stains of all kinds on clothes
should be washed out before they are
laid aside for the regular wash. Spots
on table linen usually yield readily to
soap and warm water; wine stains
should be covered with salt, wet and
rinsed out /; fruit stains may be removed
by pouring boiling water over them be-
fore they are wet coal oil and common
baking soda mixed in equal parts will
have the same effect. To remove ink
stains, dip the part in hot tallow, or wash
in new milk. If clothes are iron-mold-
ed, use oxalic acid, which will also re-
move mildew. Paint can be washed
from any article by rubbing with lard
end then washing.
AS to the time clothes should be boil
ed great difference of opinion exists.
Some very excellent authorities on the
subject condemn the practice, and ad-
wise scalding instead; if boiled, it should
only be for ten or fifteen minutes. as
long boiling is sure to discolor clothes ::
after they are scalded or boiled. add
blue water and wash clean through the
suds, then rinse through plenty Of clear
cold water, before taking through the
process of bluing, then wiring as div as
possible; and this is one of the most
important operations of the work, as
clothes with the water left in them will
be streaked and yellow. There are now
so many excellent wringers that every
family should be supplied with one but
1t the clothes are wrung by hand, they
should be gathered in a twist evenly,
and then wrung with gentle squeezing
motion until the water is all extracted.
AS soon as wrung, all garments should
be at once shaken from their fold and
hung out to dry.
Colored prints and muslins require
very careful washing in two soapy waters
mo soap being rubbed on them), and
rlnsing in clear cold water. In washing
coiored articles there are great number
of ways by which the color may be pre-
served in such as are liable to fade.
For bluffs, grays, or any very delicate
colors, tablespoonful of black pepper
to a bucket Of water will set the color.
If boiled in vinegar, black cotton goods
will never lose their freshness, OK gall
IS also excellent to preserve colors, and
is particularly useful in washing delicate
tinted stockings. All colored goods
should be hung in the shade to dry.
Merino, wooden, and silk underclothes
and stockings are very easily spoiled in
washing. None but the best soap should
be used, and it should be dissolved in
hot water. Do not rub the wooden
clothes, but cleanse them by drawing
them through the hands in and out the
suds. Rubbing shrinks and Injuries
them. When clean, wiring from the
suds and rinse in warm, soapy, blue
water, stretch i'll shape and hang out
Immediately. Wooden and silk goods
should never be washed on a stormy
or cloudy day.-Mrs. Eliza r. Parker

"Charles S. Hunt is the name and
135th street the vicinity of the abode of
young man who ran quarter of a
mile alongside runaway horse in Har-
lem and finally brought it to halt, saw
ing young lady and two children from
| what otherwise must have been serious
results. The performer of this exploit,
with modesty equal to his grit and skill,
drove the horse to his starting point and
disappeared so completely that the head
Of the family which he rescued thought
Of advertising reward for his recovery,
We clip the above item from one OF
our exchanges for the purpose of max
ing palmer point referred to incident
ally. The rescuer, it is said, ran along
side the horse and finally brought it to a
halt. Usually when horses are running
away men will run out and try to head
them of, often running to meet them.
Now moments thought will convince
one that this is not the proper thing to
do. If the horse one is trying to stop is
not wild with fear it may be stopped in
this way, or it may be simply turned
from its course but when thoroughly
frightened to stand in its path is to be
run over, and running to meet it simply
makes the matter worse, for the effect is
simply to increase the speed by the
amount of speed of the person. The
would-be rescuer, however, seldom al
lows himself to be thus run over, but
discreetly gets out of the way, in time
to prevent this, and lets the horse pass
on. A more effective and safer way,
when a runaway is seen approaching is
to start and run in the same direction in
which the horse is running and rs it
comes up along side the bride can be
grasped and the horse checked and
stopped. By running with the horse
his speed to the person is reduced by
the amount of the mans speed and he
can be caught with but little danger. Il
this can be done ON an uphill grade it is
of course, much easier than on leve
or down grade.-Rurai World.

Florida in the Future.
Erom ~ So Lord Arona.


In conversation with DIR. o. Parsons,
who, in addition TO being celebrated
chemist, is an accomplished mineralist
also, he stated that the resources OF Flori-
da were almost unbounded; that their
development was in its infancy, and that
the theory that Florida was located on
coral sub-strata was all mistake, and that
the idea that there were no minerals
in South Florida was also erroneous.
He showed us a specimen OF ore picked
mp on the surface OF the dividing
ridge of South Florida, which a careful
assay showed to contain o. per cent. of
pure lead, and to produce % ounces of
silver to the ton, besides traces OF gold in
paying quantities. There were about 20
tons of this ore in sight, and unknown
quantities below the surface. His speci-
mems were taken from the groupings. He
further said that there were three coal
deposits in Florida-one in West Florida,
one in Middle Florida, and one in South
Florida. From this it will be seen that
we are not so destitute OF minerals as has
been supposed.
These are not the idle vaporngs of a
visionary, but the result of patient re-
search by u scientific man, and time will
prove his correctness. He thinks that
mining will be one OF Florida's great
future industries. He also said that In
the not distant future Florida would fur
nish most of the paper stock Of the
world. When he first came to Florida he
made what he considered an important
and valuable discovery, viz, that the
common saw palmetto, which abounds in
Florida in inexhaustible quantities, pro-
duced a paper pulp superior to linen, and
that the root, leaf and stem all contain
ed the fibre which produces the paper
pulp. He reported his discovery To n
large paper company North, and they
proposed to go into the business at once,
when they found that the process had
already been discovered and patented; so
they had to abandon the scheme for the
time being. He stated that the root OF the
saw palmetto contained more tannin than
the best oak bark, and was superior to it
for tanning purposes, aud said that in
time this nuisance, as it is considered
now, would become source OF profit and
wealth. SUCH men as DR.. Parsons are
worth good deal to State, and should
be appreciated.

Excitement Among the Negroes.


Great CONSERVATION has prevailed
among the cOlOred element in town this
week. BY some means the rumor got out
that some of the medical colleges had sent
body-snatchers to this place to procure
subjects for their Instantaneous; not
TO rob graveyards and cemeteries, but to
procure good, healthy, live specimens
OF the colored race. And 1t was
said that they preferred very fat persons.
This last version of the matter utterly
and completely demoralized all the fat
element. On the other hand, while great
ly alarmed with the balance of their race,
the lean ones congratulated themselves on
their thinness. For several nights there
was marked absence of the crowds of col
ored people who usually throng the streets
after night. 1t was almost impossible TO
get cOlOred man or boy to go on an err
rand after dark. One pious old woman
and she is not very fat eitheE-nOtified her
pastor that she could not attend church
at night any longer. A crowd of negro
boys were cOngregated on Broad street
one night when some wag called out ::
''Kidnappers Those who witnessed the
exodus OF these gamIns say that such
running was never seen before.
1t was said that the kidnappers would
throw sack over the victims head and
strangle him before you could say "Jack
Robinson" Two coIOred men, both ex-
cited, nervous and skittish, ready 10 shy
at shadow or start at a sound, meteor
rather were going to meet-in Fletcher
vile one night, when each called out 4:
"WhO's dstY' In the excitement of the
moment each failed to recognize the out
lines and voice of his friend 1t is said by
those who saw the ground over which
they ran-in opposite directions-that it
looked like a four-horse team had run
away along there.
The, scare is not over yet. Many
colored people still believe there are
kidnappers about. We say to all such,
there is not one word Of truth in all these
wild rumors about Kidnappers being in
Thomasville. 1t is just as safe TO go on
the streets as it has ever been. Dismiss
such foolish notions and attend to your
business as usual.

Frightening an old Soldier.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-the Star says:
"An old soldier went to the Third Audit
Or's Office to-day 10 collect claim he had
against the United States government,
and made things lively by the expression
Of his feelings when he found the govern
ment would not pay promptly on sight.
He could understand how the Republican
'rascals' would keep him out OF his money,
but now that the Democrats were In
power ne looked for prompt payment, and
signified his intention TO dun them until
paid, or, If need be, bring the debt before
a magistrate. After giving full vent 10
his wrath he commenced to examine the
building, and finally stepped into the
elevator 10 try the soft cushions. The
elevator man started the machine and
they began TO drop. At first the old man
could not believe his senses. He stamped
on the floor 10 see if 1t was loose, then,
suddenly, he thought he comprehended
the situation, and he jumped two feet in
the air and seized the man at the rope.
He thought he had been trapped into an
Internal continuance adopted by the gov
eminent for getting rid Of 'duns.'"
