Hard water contains salts of lime
and is less solvent that soft water
Common soap will not dissolve in it
but will curdle and form a new soap,
or substance, which adheres to every
thing like {. greasy scum. Lye or
soda will soften hard water but borax
is better. One-half ounce of crude
borax to a common washing is the
rule.
One rule for softening hard water
is to take half pound of the best
quicklime to one hundred gallons OF
water. Make it into a cream by the
addition of water, then mix in the
tank OF water; the lime will unite
with the carbonate of lime which
causes the hardness, and settle 4
tablespoonful of washing soda to
three pals of water is another rule
for softening hard water.
Another way of softening hard
water is to boil four OF five quarts of
hard wood ashes and pour it into a
barrel of water. II enough is added
/ to soften it the water viii become
curdled, then will settle clear
An excellent washing fluid is made
as follows: Dissolve one pound OF
sal-soda, one-haf pound of unslaked
lime and small lump of borax in five
quarts of water and let it boil few
minutes, stirring few times. Then
let it cool and settle, pour off the clear
liquid and put it in old bottles or a
stone jug. Put about one cupful into
boiler of clothes and for each adj
ditional boiler add half cupful But
clothes washed with soda after a while
will grow yellow, and chloride of lime
will certainly cause the clothes to fall
to pieces; it is not fit for general
laundry use.
1t is economy to build a cistern foI
rain water, as hard water with any
kind of doctoring will not make clothes
clean; and although it may be toler-
ated for cooking purposes it will never
answer the purpose of cleansing
agent. Soft water and good soap
with a place to whiten clothes by the
sun and air all combine to make wash
| ing easy.
| Few people now boil clothes unless
in case of sickness, thus preventing a
kitchen full of steam and the worker
from danger of chill after getting
overheated in steamy room.
| The best laundry soaps are the
cheapest as, if used according to
directions, smaller quantity is used
/ than of common soap.-New England

1t is of the utmost Importance that
food should be well seasoned and
palatable. Herbs and seasoning are
as important as the food itself. They
bring back the Ianguid appetite and
encourage one to eat when he would
not otherwise do so. During the
summer, when herbs are in their high
est state of perfection, full of juices
and Just before Towering, they should
be gathered and dried. This should
always be done on a perfectly dry day,
early in the morning or after sun
down. Cleanse thoroughly from dust
and dirt, cut off the roots and spread
the herbs on squares of brown paper
| Put them in a warm oven, dry quickly
| to preserve the flavor. II allowed to
| dry gradually the heat dries off the
aroma and they will be almost taste
less. Care must be taken that they
do not brown or scorch, as this also
destroys the flavor, says Mrs. Rorer.
| When dry, pick the leaves from the
stems, put them into bottles or Jars
and cork tightly. They must be per
fectly cold before going into the
| bottles or they will sweat and sour,
Mark each bottle or jar on the inside
to save confusion when wanted fol
use.
Delicate Cabbage.-Take off all de-
fective leaves of a cabbage, quarter,
remove the core and cut the cabbage
| fine as you would for slaw; let it re-
main in cold water few hours before
cooking, turn this water off and then
cover it with boiling water and cook
until done, about forty-five minutes.
Add salt just before it is done and
take up into a colander, press out the
water, add little more salt with
pepper and butter. Put in a dish and
keep hot until served. Some prefer
the cabbage brought to the table in
undisturbed quarters; this may be
done by boiling it tied in thin netting
or piece of muslin. 1t will require a
longer time for boiling in this way.
1t is nice served with drawn butter OF
cream dressing when it is boiled in

Protection Against Fire.

Discussing the fires that so COM
monty succeed train collisions and
other similar disasters, ex-Fire Chief
t. III. Hyman suggests that such fires
could and ought to be avoided. 1t is
the case in almost every accident
where there is any fire on car, eth
er in a stove or lamp, that the wreck
takes fire and it becomes impossible
from the heat for men to approach
near enough to cut in and save the
lives of the unfortunates who are
caught in burning car. Capt. Hy-
man, speaking from thirty-eight
years. experience in fighting fire.
says if railroad companies were re-
quired to carry two fire extinguishers
on each passenger coach, one at each
end, and hand-grenades, that nine
times out of ten one man with an ex-
tinguisher would be able to suppress
the fire before it gets under head
way. All of the extinguishers are
not likely to be caught or destroyed
in such wrecks. Two or three are
likely to be left out, convenient to be
taken up and used in a minute and
save both lives and property. We
think the suggestion a good one, and
railroads would profit by acting ON it,

The County Courts Action on the Con
federate Monument.

We requested to state more fully
the action of the County court on the
location of the Confederate monu
ment, for the reason that every nem-
Der of the court took a feeling in
terest in the question, and want the
people of the county to understand
what the sentiment and action OF the
court was.
Judge Tyler stated that he had
been requested to call the attention OF
tie court to the proposition under
discussion for Confederate monu-
ment, and Its location, as the court
house yard had been discussed.
Squire J. III. Achey moved that
the committee having charge of the
Confederate monument be, and are
hereby authorized to erect the same
in the court house yard, and that said
committee be and are hereby earn
estly requested to locate saiG monu-
ment in the court house yard.
The motion was put and carried by
rising vote, every member of the
court coming to his feet.
1t was then moved by Squire S. A.
Caldwell, that committee of three
be appointed to confer with the mon
ument committee, and with them to
select the spot in the court house yard
where the monument is to be erected
if the proposition is accepted. S. A
Caldwell, j. II. Achey and G. w.
McCauley were appointed, and by
motion Judge Tyler and Clerk @. d
Bailey were added to the committee
Pending the motion Squire Achey
made strong speech in favor of it
He said the country people wanted
it on the court house grounds, fol
the reason that many of them woulC
never see it if located in the cemetery
Squire Wheeler, the colored Re
publican member of the court voted
for the motion, and afterwards ex'
pressed himself heartily in favor o
the monument and its location OF
Court Square.

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated ms not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case OF full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilerts Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver

SQUIRE MCDOWELL.
What the Desha County Journal Has to
Say, About Former Citizen.


The following Is taken from the
Arkansas City Journal, of July Srd,
published in Desha Co., Ark, which
closes an editorial discussion of the
Americans exposure of Mcdowell
in these words: "Last Saturday he
(McDowell, y arrived here for the pur-
pose, us he avowed, OF getting proof
to show the falsity of the Americans
charges. Our information is that he
is in Red Fork county now at work
getting proof to show that he had
been grossly misrepresented. How
he has succeeded will possibly be
known in few days. That he was
everything the American charged
him with being is unquestionabiy the
truth. That Mcdowell acted with
the negroes, represented himself to
be a Republican and was bad man
generally, we do not believe he can
successfully contravert. We do not
pretend to say that he has not re-
formed, but all the information we
have been able to get confirms the
affldavits in the American in every
particular. He was ostracized by
the white people because of his pO-
litical afiiliAtion with the negroes
and because he made himself OBJ
noxious in many respects. The
white people regarded him as dan
gerous man and one who would
be likely to put devilment into
the heads of the negroes. All
this we get from men who know
what they are talking about and
who are not in the list of the Ameri-
cans affidavits. They are men who
never make statements unless they
know them to be true and we believe
them. We do not believe that Nc
Dowell will get much comfort from
Desha county,"
