TO TEACHERS.

The Normal Institute for the third
district of Colorado will convene in
Canon City on Aug. 18th and will
last two weeks. Prowers county
forms 4 part of this district and 1t
will be to the interest of every teach
er here to attend, and become
member of this institute, We are
instructed to add 10 per cent. to the
grades of all applicants for certif-
Gates who attend this meeting. And
we might say further that we are al
lowed to raise the applicants average
5 per cent. for the reading of some
GOOD school journal. This goes to
prove that 1t is the aim of our legis-
tors and of the State Superintendent
to elevate the standard of the teach
ers work to the highest point possl-
bic. The large cities of the state
have schools which rank with the
hest in the Union. 1t is because the
people are alive to the wants OF the
next generation and will tolerate
none but the most modern facilities
and the fittsst instructors. We SIN
cerely urge the teachers OF this coun'
tv to spend two weeks of their sum-
mer vacation with the eminent and

Cleansing EcntIcrs.

Where feathers need dcodorizing, it is
best to have it done by persons who
make eather-renovating business and
have the appliances for doing it in the
best manner, which families have not.
This is done by steaming, and afterward
drying and sitting out the dirt and
broken particles, so that the feathers are
not only deodorized but arc livcncd up
in such manner as to appear almost rs
good as new. New feathers need no
treatment except drying sufficiently to
take out the moisture they contain after
being pluckcd from the geese. Owing
to their extreme lightness they can rarely
be spread out, but should be dried in a
closed room where if possible, the sun
can shine on them through the windows,
or IN thin sacks to prevent them from
lying about Wien laid on n scalrold out
OF doors i'll the sun. Feather beds and
pillows should be thoroughly aired and
