Washing Flannels.

GA Sufferer" asks show to wash
flannels without making them thick,
stiff and gummy." If you rub soap
on the flannels they will be stiffened
at once; if you dip them out from hot
water into cold rinsing water they
will thicken up like cloth; and if
they are gummy it is because the soap
is not well rinsed out of them. The
wooden tibres in flannel are really so
many delicate little hooks, which
should lightly hang together, making
porous fabric, but these may be so
rolled and "shrunk" up together in
the washing, as to form felt-like
stuff.
The best way is to brush and shake
out each flannel article we'll before
putting it into the tub; this gets rid
of much dust. Have the water ready,
boiling hot soapsuds; let the article
lie in it until you can bear the hand
in the water, and then quickly flap it
about without much rubbing, which
compacts the tibres, though, of course,
you must rub out the spots. Then
rinse the soap out Immediately in
clean, hot water, and, if you wish to
preserve the good color of white fan
nels, pass it then throu 9Th hot water
that is blued. This is a matter of
choice, but the only important points
are to work always in hot water, not
to rub so as to mat the flannel togeth-
er and to get the soapsuds out as quick
ly as possible. Hang out to dry, and
before they are quite dry pull them
into shape, tapping out any moisture
that has gathered in the hens and
seams. Mrs. Ellen Richards advises
that all flannels that are worn next to
the skin and all the woolens of an in
fant's wardrobe should be washed in
water made soft and alkaline by am
mOnia or ammonia carbonate. This
reduces the risk by imperfect rinsing,
which, as we have said above, is at
the bottom of most of the trouble in
washing woolens with soap. 1t must
be purified ammoniacal liquor, and
not the crude article sold for cleaning
paint or carpets. The shrinkage of
woolens thus washed is said to be
very slight.

Fancy Shoe Box.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
A shoe box is a homely comfort
that will be an acceptable gift to
many a one whose closet room is linn
tied. Procure a clean wooden box of
the required size, put small castors
on the bottom and provide the cover
with hings, then line the inside with
calico, and make calico pockets, like
those in shoe-bags. These are for the
slippers. On one side may be a broad
bag or pocket for stockings. There
will be room in the middle of the
box for shoes, overshoes, and bottles
Of French polish.
The outside may be covered with
coarse gray linen, bound with brown
braid. The top, be must strength
ened by having bar of wood nailed
upon the under part, should be stuffed
with hair or moss enough to make it
comfortable for a seat, and covered
with strong muslin first, and then
with the linen, and edged with row
of braid closely box plated.
A brown tassel should be sewed
firmly to the two front corners of the
cover, to serve as handles to lift it by
as we'll as for an ornamental finish
Before lacking on the linen it should
be worked in outline stitch in any APP
propriate design, with brown crewel

The Mothers Work.

New England Farmer.
The fact that it is no trifling affair
to manage house is never more full
ly realized by the feminine head of
the establishment than when she is
unable from illness to follow the
beaten path. The rest of the family
also suddenly realize that she is the
main spoke in the wheel. He has to
hunt up his gloves and newspaper
himself, and if misfortune appears in
the shape of a lost button he becomes
truly wretched. 1t is strange how
utterly helpless the married man in
general soon becomes when he has
no one to look after him. Individu-
ally and collectively he has a great
love for being waited upon, all the
way from having his boots BACKED
to being read or sung to sleep.
A lady said to another one day in
fit of confidence, "Twice a week for
twenty years, John has asked me
where he should find his clean shirts,
and all this time they have been in
the same drawer of the same bureau
and / have to tell him every time,''
she concluded dolefully.
Her companion burst into a hearty
laugh. "Why," said she, "for over
thirty years James has asked me the
self same questions and | have always
answered calmly, left hand side O
the drawer next to the top"
Then each congratulated herself
that she had mot the only forgetful mar
in existence to wait upon. 1t gener
ally seems easier to pick up after ant
wait upon the members of the family
than to insist on their doing it fo
themselves but with children it i
certainly the wiser plan to max,
them wait upon themselves as mucl
as possible. The first essential stel
is to provide places for things lik,
hooks for clothes, bureaus for under
garments, bags for shoes and stock
ings, shelves for books and a box 70
playthings; then you can well insis
that things shall be kept in their RICH
places.

the corridor window has been passed in safety, and that he is now not half dozen steps from her outstretched hand.
 But his lingering, uncertain feet pro- long those steps to twice or thrice their number. Five minutes seem to pass, ten fifteen, an hour, measured by the terrible suspense which holds her. At length his white face shows in the moonlight almost on level with her own, or perhaps an inch or so higher; with wide-open, un- seeing eyes he seems to be staring at her. He gropes in vain for the glass of the window, and Patience takes gentle hold of his outsuetched hand. All in a flash of thought it comes to her that if he loses h footing now it means death for both, tor his heavier weight must overbalance hers and drag her with him in his fall Her head whirls, her nerves begin to fail.

 Thus it was that on the very spot on which some two hundred years back a life had been lost and hearts happi- ness wrecked, life was saved, and the foundation of life's happiness laid.
 For, of course, it ended in the manner in which adventures usually end where a youth and maiden, fancy free, find themselves partners in game of peril Frank fell in love with Patience, Patience fell in love with Frank, and they each de- cided that life wouldn't be worth having unless it could be lived out in the com. pany of the other.

 Patience mildly suggested that, at any rate, her dreams and visions on that memorable night were not exactly those of the whole human race, times without number and all the world over."
