How to Restore tho freshness OF Much
Worn Clothes.

How to Restore tho freshness OF Much
Worn Clothes.
1t is mystery to many people how
the scourers of old clothes can make
them almost as good as new, says the
American Analyst. Take, for instance,
shiny old coat, vest or pair of pants
Of broadcloth, cashmere. Or diagonal
The scourer makes strong, soap
sues and plunges the garment into it,
s0uses it up and down, rubs the dirty
places, If necessary puvs it through a
second suas, then rinses 1t through
several waters. and hangs it to dry on
the line. When nearly dry he takes
1t in, rolls it up for an hour or two.
and then presses it, An old cotton
cloth is laid on the outside of the coat
and the iron passed over that until
The wrinkles are out but the iron is
removed before the steam ceases to
rise from the goods. else they would
be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstin-
ate are removed by laying wet cloth
over thom and passing the iron over
that If any shiny places are seen
they are treated as the wrinkles are;
the iron is lifted while the full cloud
of steam rises, and brings the nap up
with it Cloth should always have q
suds made specially for it, as If that is
used which has been used for white
cotton or woolen clothes lint will be
left in the water and cling to the
cloth, In this manner we have known
the same coat and pantaloops to be re-
newed time and again, and have all
the look and feel of new garments,
Good broadcloth and It's fellow cloths
will bear many washings and look
better every time because of them.

Immigrants Of the Right Sort.
New York Sun, April Z: Aboard the
Thingvalla Line steamship Hekla, that
arrived at this port last Sunday, there
were 700 Scandinavian immigrants
healthy, hearty and light-halred young
people of both sexes. They wers bound
for the west the far west--even fer
North Dakota--where they will take up
land and begin new life as American
farmers, raising grains, small fruits, cat
tie and sheep for their own nourishment
and for the service of mankind. They
were we'll and warmly dressed as they
marched ashore. and they looked as
though they possessed all necessary gel nse,
were among them no paupers, or felons,
| or lunatics, or contract laborers. or per
sons afflicted with loatbssme diseases
| and it was hardly nece ssary for the in
spectien agents at the barge Office to take
| look at them in order to see that they
belonged to the class known as desirable
| immigrants" They had come to Amer
lca as hundreds Of thousands of other
Swedes and Norwegians have come dur.
ing the past forty years they have struck
out west to take land as those others did
and they are pretty sure of enjoying the
prosperity that so many Of their country
men already enjey here. To them let
bsuntlful nature give good crops fine
breeds of cattle, and long and pleasant
lives.
Now, if all our other immigrants fro m
Europe, including those from Italy, PO-
land and Hungary, were as spirited as
these Scandinavians and would follow
their example, how much better it would
be for them than crowding into cities
struggling for daily hash and spending
years in complaining.

Wheat short In Europe.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: It is esti-
mated that the shortage of wheat in Rus
-ia and France this season will not be
less than 160,000,o0O bushels. The Lon-
don Standard publishes long and care
full review of the agricultural outlook.
1t says that the steady rise in wheat re-
wives the hopes of the English farmers,
adding that wheat will probably reach
the highest price in many years, the prin-
cipal cause being the failure of foreign
crops. India also has light crop. The
outlook is thus encouraging to the Amer-
ican eat.grower. Europe will need all
the surplus that our farmers can produce
