The True Rea.on-wa.h Day Made Easy

There is reason in everything, but no,
every reason given is true. About washing
clothes, for instance, common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach us that Ger.
tain things mus. be done, while others NAV
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
laundress. If these objects can be attained
1t does not matter as TO what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder, no mat
ter what it is called. that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tlrely removed from the interstices of the
clothes Id all microbes must be DESTROYED.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self-sgitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, aud disease
breeding microbes, as they can be cleansed
in no other wsy-and without in any man.
ner injuring the fabric. As there is no
royal road to learning, neither is there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than by using
Pyie's Pearline. and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to hest advantage

LETTER FROM GLADSTONE
The English Statesman Pays a Tribute
to Washington.

BUFFALO, n. Y, April ga little over
four weeks ago JohU }. Nc Bride of this city

list of names that had been signed to the

the letter published below:
House. OF Commons. LoNDoS.
April %, 1889
Dear SRI have the honor to acknowledge
your letter of March %. and the remarkable
list appended to it of those distinguished
citizens of the Unite States who have test-
fed, through the memorial you mention,
their interest in the condition of Ireland and
their desire for a just and reasonable ac-
know ledgment of her national claims and
aspirations. | rejoice not only to think but
TO know that throughout the wide confines of
the race to which we all belong there is an
oVerw helming preponderauee of sentiment
in favor of that acknow ledgment. At home
this Judgment has been constitutionally re
corded by Ireland herself, by Scotland and
BY Wales. Encouraged by these indications
at home AID abroad and by the wise advices
of their representatives in Parliament the
Irish people show an indisposition to crime
and outrage not less remarkable than their
determination to carry forward their cause
TO its successful consummation.
lrejoice to be put in possession of such dec
larations at moment when your great country
is about to celebrate on the 30th instant, the |
centennial anniversary of the Inauguration |
of George Washington as the first Pres- |
dent of the American commonwealth. /

ticipaiion in your national joy. 1t is real |
and CRATE full participation; for the statesmen |
of the American Revolution, have taken ,
their places among the greatest political in
structors of the world. George Washing
ton was their acknowledged and Industrious
head, and TO him and them have long felt
that owed no trivial part of my own pub
liz education Long, without limit of length,
may that Union flourish under the blessing
and favor of God. with the foundation of
which their rames are insepsrably associated.
have the honor to remain, my dear sir.

there are about 5000 acres on
the Perhsm prairie which will require this
treatment. The eggs are found only in pas
ture land and timothy fields and it is hoped
that by poushing they can be killed Off
Last year nothing was done until the inse cts
were hatched. when reward of 81 bushel
was paid for catching them and in this way
over 1900 bushels were caught. The

On the mountains south of Sierra
City, Cal, a party of Italians have
rugged device to transport wood from
the top of the mountain to the other
side of the river. 1t is simply wire
rope, fastened at both ends and sus-
pended in the air. The wood is fast
ened together in bundles by means of
small branches of hardwood, and a
hook is formed in the same manner.
The wood is attached to the wire with
the hook and then, in the wink of an
eye, the thing is landed at the bottom.
