and rub the walls carefully from top to
bottom, in a straight line, using fresh
piece of bread as soon as it looks much
soiled. Wall paper is cheaper than it
used TO be. You can get fair quality
of paper in exceeding pretty patterns
for 20 cents roll. The American
papers measure eight yards to roll.
The English rolls contain twelve yards.

little more than that asked for those
manufactured in our own country.
USE BoRAX IN WAsHING.-In en-
ploying a common, cheap, but clean
soap, often put less than level tea
spoonful of powdered borax into the
bottom of my tub, pouring hot water
on it, and then cooling to the proper
degree. This borax makes the wash
ing more easy, and is good for tho
hands, healing them when chapped, and
leaving them in good condition after
washing. Whatever good soap you
use, it is not necessary to boil the
clothes, but this process helps in most
cases, especially if the clothes are we'll
stirred about the boiler. 1t is rot best
to leave them actually boiling many
minutes, as this will turn them yellow.
The whole washing may be done with
out warm water, if desired, but more
or stronger soap must be used, and the
labor is harder. We want to loosen the
dirt between the fibres of the cloth as
easily as possible, and then to rinse it
oil away. This is the philosophy of
making soiled clothes clean.-Ameri-

AFTER REBEL FLAGS.
Union Veterans Refuse to Garry the
Stars and Stripes.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 6-The Philadelphia
veterans participated in the unyeiling of the
monument over Pickett's grave. When Cap
itol Square was reached, the boys who wore
the blue were joined by Stonewall Camp,
Confederate Veterans, detachment of Pick
ett's men from Portsmouth. numbering 800 I;
Pickett Buchanan Camp, from Norfolk /;
Maury Camp, from Mecklenburg and Stone
wall Camp. The Confederate soldiers
brought into the ranks one of the old rebel
flags with the Confederate brigade and di-
vision flags. The Philadelphians objected
to marching behind these flags with the Stars
and Stripes which had been lent by Encamp-
ment No. 2, Union Veteran Legion of Phila-
delphia, with the understanding that the flag
should not be carried in line with a rebel
emblem. AS Picketps men insisted upon
carrying the rebel flags, the legion banner
was furled and carried to headquarters.
The Philadelphians marched without colors
The committee of Pickett's men also OBJ
lected to the camps carrying the rebel flags,
but without avail. At the grave of General
Pickett in Hollywood Cemetery, the speak
ers stand was covered with silk rebel flags
and two small muslin American flags. The
Philadelphans listened respectfully to Ma
jor r. Taylor Scott. the crater, notwithstand-
ing his remarks frequently grated harshly on
their loyal ears. The address throughout
was in applause of the rebel soldier and his
cause and so bitterly were the lines drawn
that Ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, declared that he was as
founded and mortified.
The banquet was held at Saenger Hall and
the best of feeling prevailed. Speeches were
made by Governor Curtin, Colonel A. X. Nc
Clure, Charles Laurence and Captain Reilly,
on the part of the Philadelphians, and BY
Colonel Aylett, Judge Clopton, Colonel
Archer, Governor Lee and Mayor Elyson.

the audience irrespective Of party afiliatl0n.
