They Wash Once n Year.

The facility with which washing is
done by the use of borax accounts for
its popularity in the low countries and
in Germany, where to many families
washday comes but once year. The
notion of cleanliness which prevails
among the better class of Germans for
bids the storing or accumulation of soiled
linen in the dwelling house, hence the
necessity of the "schwartzwaschaom-
mer," built near by, where the soiled or
unwashed clothes are hung up, exposed
to the air, on poles or lines. We cannot
but commend them for this custom, and
it would be we'll for those housekeepers
to take hin. who store soiled garments
in the closets of sleeping rooms and un-
der the beds.
The humblest German hausfrau does
not feel her poverty if she has an abun-
dance of linen, and this she will have if
possible, to the exclusion of other things
which we might regard almost as need
full. She is rich indeed if at the end of
six months or year she can display
long lines hung with immaculate linen.
We can thus understand how even at
this day chest OF linen is regarded
among the peasantry as a part of their
dover or marriage portion of the bride.
Tor these washings a week Is usually
-Aken and the event is regarded as no
ordinary one. 1t issomething is Of jubi-
lee in which the entire family takes
part. An American lady travelling in
Germany witnessed one Of these "frol-
ics," where four or five women were
washing from one capacious tub. When
asked why they did not adopt the easier
plan of washing weekly, one of them re-
piled that "they feared the people nigh,
think they had but two garments
apiece. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Not Wholly Complimentary.

A certain Mrs. Malaprop, who lives in
large eastern city, is noted for her
skill in unconsciously embarrassing 9TH
er people, while she herself remains per
fectly at ease. Not long ago she was in
troduced to two sisters, young ladies
who had long been known to her by
name, though she had never met them.
"Now. my dears," she said, addressing
them collectively, with. her usual bland
smile, and regarding them earnestly
through her glasses, II have often heard
of the bright and the handsome Miss
Ratcliffe. Now lam so glad to meet you
both, and want you to tell me at once
which of you is the bright and which the
handsome one."
On another occasion she was dining
with her nephew and his young wife,
who had just set up housekeeping. The
dinner did not go off quite so smoothly
as the young couple had hoped. and the
cooking was by no means perfect. The
hostess unwisely began to murmur apol-
ogies and her husband Joined in, half
laughing, with references to his wife's
youth and inexperience.
'Don't say another word, my dear
children" interrupted their kind hearted
guest. 81 can assure you I've eaten a
great deal worse dinners than this in the
course Of my life; great deal worse.
Yes, she added meditatively, "Fve eaten
some pretty bad dinners, you may be
suref'-Youth's Companion.

Really Quite Merciful.

1t was in the New York Central depot.
A well dressed lady with her Little Lord
FauItleroy son approached the door
leading to an outgoing train. Both were
laden with bundles. A railroad official
stood by the door.
"Open the door or I'll punch your
head" exclaimed Fauntleroy in a very
swagger voice, and the official, amused
by the six-year-old's audacity, consented
to become doorkeeper for the occasion
and complied.
The mother showed that she was angry
as she swept through the door, and as 1t
closed she seized Fauntleroy by the
shoulders and shook him severely.

asked; "to be so impolite to the gentle

Wood Carver. obiee, to pi.e. Work

ROCKFORD, Ills, Jan. 10. About
forty of the wood carvers here have
struck. and, as they all belong to the
union, it is probable that the trouble
will extend to all the furniture factories.
The difficulty arises from the fact that
four Of the furniture companies of this
city want their carvers to work by the
piece. The carvers refuse to do this,
objecting to piece work on the ground
that it puts premium on poor work
manship. and has a tendency to make
the men slight their work.

,ortation.
Revival of Interest in Canals.
Throughout the whole country there
at this time unusual attention being
,iid to the general subject Of water
avs An increased activity in the
building and improvement of canals is
noticeable in some of the most progress
sive nations of the world-particularly
where commercial competition is the
keenest. OF this, France and Germany
afford conspicuous examples. In Eng
land there are several vast ship canal
schemes under way and in projection.
This revival of interest in canals is true
also as to a number of our sister states.
1t should ever be kept in mind that
the canal system of Ohio represents
leges of enormous value. The aggre-
gate length of the canals of Ohio is 697
miles. The original cost of construction
was $14 $40, ,572. 50. There are also 49,
800 acres of reservoirs which feeds the
canals-all public property.
The canal system of Ohio is rich
heritage to the state which has been
largely squandered. 1t is time to call
halt to the policy Of disposing of the
peoples property without adequate
compensation.
1t is for the people to say what they
will do with their own. but they should
have full information before they for
ever disDoss.ss themselves of two such
valuable franchises as those appertain-
ing to the Miami and Erie canal and
the Ohio canal.

EoAN As A POLICEMAN.
That Is What ChiIians Call Him for cen-

ductins Refugees to tho Yorktown
VALPARAISO. Jan. 12-There is great
deal of talk about the action of Minister
Egan in escorting the three Balmacedist
refugees, Juan and William McKenna
and Jose Carrera. from the American
legation at Santiago to Valparaiso, and
placing them aboard the United States
cruiser Yorktown: but the knowledge
that he did so with the tacit approval OF
the new administration has disarmed Sc
we're criticism. The newspapers give
considerable space to the subject, but
discuss it in a calm spirit. While il
nowise condemning Mr.. Egan for what
he has done in the matter, it is asserted
that the United States government must
assume the responsibility if its minister
loses the respect of the public in escort
ing such characters as these refugees
for his doing so degrades him to the
level of a policeman.
While recalling the we'll established
fact that Minister Egan had done ex-
actly the same thing for many promin-
ent congressioDalists in their hour of
peril, the papers go on to say that there
is no comparison between caring for
men like Pedro Montt, Augustin Ed
wards and others of their standing, who
were ON the side of liberty and order,
and protecting these refugees, who are
known. outside of their career as Bal
maceda's coadjutors, to be men utterly
devoid of good deeds This, it is added,
is especially the case with juan McKen-
na. whom the paDers accuse of endeav-
oring To rob an American named Chase

afterward hiring men to attack him.
