The Fast Mail to San Francisco.

Mr.. J. Lowrie Bell. the general superin-
tendent Of the railway mail service, has re-
turned from a trip of inspection through the
west. He started from New York on the first
trip of the fast mail train to San Francisco and
saw it leave Omaha, where two passenger cars
and one dining car was attached to the train Of
three postal cars. This train reached San
Francisco, making about twenty-four hours
quicker time compared with the previous
schedule. Mr.. Bell thinks that this train is
great success and says that it has the advantage
in not being effected by the changes in the pas
senger schedules. He say that the effect Of
this quick time has already been made appar-
ent in changes that will be made in collateral
lines which will shorten the time two or three
hours. He also says that Q change in the
schedule of one of the main lines in the coun-
try is now In contemplation. which will improve
the time in the transportation of mails some
eight hours. He finds that the San Francisco
fast mail' is not only direct benefit but IL is
also bringing about an improvement on otht Z
routes.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.


Few Hints Which the Housekeeper
Should Preserve Carefully.
Lamp wicks should be changed often
enough to insure having a good light.
If they seem clogged they may be
washed in strong suds and put into
the lamps again.
To take spots of paint from wood lay
a thick coating of lime and soda mixed
over it, letting it stay twenty-four
hours, then wash off with warm water
and the spots will disappear.
Coffee pounded in mortar and
roasted on an iron plate, sugar burned
on hot Goals, and vinegar boiled with
myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and
furniture of a sick room are excellent
deodorizers.
In beating cake beat from the bot
tom of The mixing bowl with wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and high
with each stroke, and as soon as the
ingredients are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating or your cake will
be tough.
A dark carpet often looks dusty SO
soon after it has been swept that you
know it does not need sweeping again,
so wet a cloth or sponge, wiring 1t al
most dry, and wipe off the dust A few
drops of ammonia in the water will
brighten the colors.
Potato water cleans silk OF any kind
or color, says housewife, For every
Quart of water to be used in washing Z
dress, for instance, pare and CRATE one
large potato. Put the grated potatoes
into the water, which must be soil
water and cold; let stand two day:
without being disturbed in any way
then very carefully pour off the cleai
liquor from the sediment into large
convenient vessel, into which dip TIT
pieces of silk up and down. VI course
the silk must not be creased by wiring
ing it; let it hang and drip nearly dry
then lay it fiat on the table and wipe
first on one side and then on the other
If necessary to press it, do so between
flannel with a moderate iron.-Hom

Pretty Little Flowers,

Some OF them do, however: there's
French immortelle, round and about
as big as good sized pea, that is a

originally from the island OF Crete. II

eveflastings-that is their popular
name, you know-and hang them up
to dry for winter decoration, often
mixed with grasses. Many OF these
homemade winter bouquets are much
handsomer than any we are able to
secure for sale.
The immortelles sold in this coun-
try are largely imported; often the
bouquets and designs are brought
over ready made. There is in Ger

"But. although these pretty flowers
are painted by nature almost every

are often blotted out and new ones

is fair to term him, for he really re-
models the flower.

chlorine. or sulphur. as the color to
be extracted decides. The coloring is
usually done with aniline dyes. The
black flowers in the French wreaths
are made by dyeing the yellow ones.
"Flowers bleached by sulphur gen.
orally regain their color when dried.
and this fact is utilized in the preserva-
ton of roses, larkspurs. daises and
other flowers used with the immor-
telles. The perishable flowers are ex-
posed to sulphur vapors to turn them
into 'everlastings,' and then dried
when their color returns.
For drying the immortelles should
always be gathered before they have
fully opened. The sale of these flow
ers is very large, though such hideous
creations are made of them by bat
combinations and general lack of tast'
that it is wonder any one buys them
