BASKET SOCIAL

The basket social held on the West Side
Wednesday evening under the auspices OF
the Good Templars, was largely attended.
The spirit of good fellowship that pre-
vailed denoted interest and demonstrated
the fact that good cause never lacks able
supporters and defenders. An appreciative
audience gave close attention and warmly
applauded those who after very short
notice res 2ouded TO the call OF the lodge
by Deputy Rev. L w. Bicknell for music
recitations etc. Among those present
were the Misses Samson and Francis, reci-
tations; Misses Osborn and Burris, duet.
Mrs. VI. J. Benton recited a temperance
poem and the male qusrtetJe rendered two
or three songs, after which the general in
terest centered in disposing OF the lunch
baskets and their contents Purses were
somewhat depleted, but the less 10 the
purse resulted in gain TO the stomach and
the treasury OF the society. May ad-
ditional interest and numbers siren gthea

ANUSEMESTS.

CORA VAN 4ASSEL.
"The Hidden Hand" was presented at
the Crawford Grand last night by the
| Cora Van Tassel company TO large audi
ence. The play abounds in situations
| whereby the rare dramatic talent of the
charming little star and her excellent com
pany are brought before the public. Miss
Van Tassel as Archie, the Newsboy and
Capitola, the HeiresS, and Edwin Young
in his impersonation of the negro servant
Wool, carried off the honors. They were
frequently recalled and kept the house in
continual laughter by their wit. Miss
Van Tassel again gave an exhibition OF her
ability as dancer and earned hearty
encore. Replying to the encore she turned
to go off the stage again but the audience
were not satisfied until she repeated the
dance. Lawrence Holmes IN the character
of Black Donald, the outlaw, acted his
part in praiseworthy manner, as did also
J. j. Sambrook in the character of the old
gentleman, Major Ira Warfield. The re-
naming members of the company acted
their parts in way that can leave no
doubt but that Miss Van Tassel has extra
ordinary good support.

porting Miss Carrie Radcliffe, will appear
all next week at the Crawford Grand,

comedy-drama entitled Chick" During

HOW TO WASH SILK STOCKINGS.

Do your silk stockings ever get spoiled
in the wash? Have them done at home
and make the maid follow these direc-
lions, advises an English correspondent:
ono soap must be rubbed on the articles.
Before commencing have ready two hot
irons and two pans Of water. In one pan
pour hot water, and in the other cold,
adding a wineglass of common vinegar
to each. Make the hot water into a
creamy lather of suitable consistency,
from the recipe given for soup jelly
Wash each stocking separately in the
hot water, and rub carefully, commenc-
ing at the toe. Squeeze it out, place it
in the rinse water, and leave it until the
nexv one is finished. Now squeeze them
out of the rinse-water, but on no account
wiring them. Roll separately in dry
cloth. Now take the stockings, iron
them, each on the wrong side and finish
them on the right, taking care to leave no
creases. If these instructions are prop
erly carried out, you may wash with safety
the most brilliant colors. For the soap
jelly take half a pound of yellow soap
and shave it finely into a saucepan with
one quart of water Stand it by the fire
until it SINNERS, and let it remain until
cold, when it will have the appearance Of
a stiff jelly.-Philadezpai0 Press.

or leather who did not know the exact
cost of the material and labor required
to make case of boots and shoes. And
yet how many farmers can tell tie cost of
pound Of butter or pork, bushel OF
potatoes Or corn, or a ton of hay2 They
sell their products for what they can get
offered, rot knowing whether they are
making or losing.
The remedy IS this: When farmers
come to realize that farming is business
as well as manufacturing or banking or
buying and selling goods, and by care
full keeping Of accounts learn to figure
the cost of every article they produce,
then a successful beginning will have
been made. Let them keep debt and
credit with every acre of corn, potatoes
or grain. Charge each acre with the in
terest on its value, the probable amount
of fertilizing material used by the crop,
the cost of labor in its care Credit it
with the market value of the crop pro-
duced. The difference between the two
will represent the profit or loss. A like
account should be kept with the herd of
COWS. If any one of the number entails a
loss upon you dispose of her. Keeps strict
account with the orchard, if you have
one. Debit it with the labor employed
in its care and in the harvesting of its
fruit. Credit it with the value of its
golden product and learn from the balance
on the right side of the ledger that it is
one of your best friends. The farmers
book is one Of reference, to which he can
at any time refer for date or article
bought OF sold, and price given or re-,
ceived for the same. Having learned to
calculate the costs of the products of the
farm, the next business is to know how
to sell them. Make study of the mar
kets and learn for yourselves the prices of
those things you wish to sell.-Nee0 York
Herald.

BUFFALO CARPET BEETLE.

1t is reported that strips of flannel
dipped in solution of white arsenic and
placed under the edge of carpet are
sure death to the Buffalo carpet beetle I
doubt if any one knows this, says Pro-
fessor A. J. Cook in the New York Trt-
6une. In many cases the flannel would
not be eaten, and unless eaten it would be
harmless to the beetles. That it would
be liable to be eaten, and if eaten would
surely destroy the beetles, there is no
question. 1t would be easy to try it and
if very cautiously done could be safe. All
who handle white arsenic, however,
should remember that it looks very much
like soda, baking powder, and other arti-
cles of the pantry, and is a virulent
poison. 1 should not fear to try this my
self; but do hesitate to recommend it
to others. ------.z:-

ARTICLE FOR A SICK ROOM.

For sick room, the sand bag is inval-
liable. Get some clean. fine sand, dry it
thoroughly in kettle on the stove.
Make bag, about eight inches square, Of
flannel, fill it with the dry sand; sew the
opening carefully together and cover the
bag with cotton or linen. This will pre-
vent the sand from sitting out, and will
also enable you to heat the bag quickly by
placing it in the oven, or even on top the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or hands
of a sick person with bottle of hot water
or brick. The sand holds the heat a
long time, and the bag can be tucked up
to the back without hurting the invalid.
It is a good plan to make two or three OF
the bags and keep them on hand, ready
for use at any time when needed.-The
Pilot.
