Low 10 Mash wash-snk..

In these days when wash-silks are in
common use a few words in regard to
washing them may be Of interest As
silk is an animal fiber, like wool, Il can
not be treated in the same way as cot
ton, which may be subjected to water
Of all temperatures without injury.
Silk should be washed as rapidly as
possible. Examine the articles TO be
washed, and if there are any parts
especially soiled clean them with a lit
tie benzine or gasoline, applied with a
flannel cloth Then procure soapsuds
of lukewarm water and plunge the gar
ments in it, .sousing them up and down,
and rubbing them thoroughly in this
suds. Rinse them into a water little
cooler, and then into third water still
a little cooler, and SO on until the final
rinsing water is perfectly cold. Do not
blue them. Wiring them ont as dry as
possible with machine. Lay them in
sheets or other heavy cloths and roll
them as hard as you can IN firm rolls
Put them away for an hour and at the
end of that time iron them on the

how remote from the great centers Of
population, 20 which his fame has not
extended With him the killing of the
great man caters who infest the
iungles Is looked upon as a pastime,
and he has shot them under almost all
Imaginable circumstances.
He arrived in this city on the steamer
Gaelic, en- route for London, and it
was early in the forenoon that he
strobe into the California hotel. He
wrote his name 10 big bold letters
across the page Of the register, and
lost no time in plunging into bath
tub. Later he emerged from his se-
clusion, looking ruddy and muscular.
He looked more like the ordinary
\ globe -trotter than slayer Of tigers
whose name is known throughout the
Orient, In appearance he is tall and
robust, with closely trimmed white
beard and keen gray eyes. A long
loose-ftting sack coat Of gray tweed
was buttoned about him, and brown
derby hat was tilted back far enough
upon his head to show that he is grow
ing Slightly bald His feet were in
cased in shoes of russell leather, and he
carried in his hand heavy cane, which
he chung to tenaciously as he strobe
rapidly along. ~

tiger hunter, II have bagged q good

time, and we hunt the tigers for the
sport there is in It. Why, bless my
soul. can see no reason why anyone
should care to hear about tiger hunt
ing. With us it is ordinary sport, just
as deer stalking is in America
"After ALL" he continued, as he
grasped his cane more. firmly and
! planted his feet very wide apart, "the
tigers of China are not nearly as fero-
cious as those Of India, but they give
good deal of trouble to the natives at
times. When one Of them gets taste
OF human blood he at once becomes fe-
| rocious, aud is never satisfied with any
other diet. They become transformed
into what are known as man eaters,
and they hunt human beings as eat
does mice.
"Take big man eater, for instance,
and he is pretty sure to make his lair
in a Jungle close to native village,
/ avoiding the larger towns, and always
on the alert to make victim Of some
luckless human being who may fall in
his way. 1t is bis habit to Turk about
the outskirts of the settlement, CON
cealed in the edges Of the jungle, and

Moonlight nights suit him best. Al
such a time he is extremely vigilant
he prowls about until be sees some be

the opportunity for which he has wait

us now to relieve them from the
conditions in which they are
placed by their own folly a year
ago. They made great outcry
for the repeal of the tariff and the
relief of the people, and now they
fear to enter upon the very meas
ure they proposed lest it might
cause an overwhelming disaster to
all the industries of the country.
The republican party has ever
been mindful of the interests of
the working people, and its policy
has secured them high wages, good
money and prompt pay. Now
that the democratic party is in
power we have nothing but uncer-
tainty and the profound fear that
whatever they will do will be in
furious to the great mass of the
people. The republicans are in a
minority in both houses of con
gress, and have lost control of the
executive branch of the govern
ment. This fatal condition was
brought about by the election a
year ago, and see no remedy for
it except by change of the pop
ular will and a restoration to pow
er of the republican party.

This is a pamphlet of 100 pages, written
by s. A. Clarke, and handsom ely printed
with numerous illustrations by Poison &
Son, Portland, Oregon, that contains the

industry the world over; its history on the
Pacific coast, reliable facts as to the differ
ent varieties of prunes and methods of gath
ering, curing and packing same for market.
The book also contains full instructions for
orchard work of all kinds, spraying for all
insect pests and fungus, and is pronounced
invaluable by al! fruit growers. Its cost is

If the specimens of"argument"
used by Lawrence I. Neal, demo
cratic candidate for governor, in
his speech at Newark, Ohio, one
day last week is a sample of the
campaign, Governor Mckinley will
need no assistance. He has a
walkaway. AS a sample, Neal de-
clared the agricultural interests
are the principal victims of the
protective policy; that in 1850 the
farmers owned almost one half of
the property of the country; now
less than one-quarter! This is the
old, old free trade idea that the
people of the United States ought
all to be farmers, or as nearly all
as possible. Because our manu-
facturers have increased, therefore
the farmers are harmed! This is
rank idiocy. If Mr.. Neal will go
back to the beginning of the cen
tury he will find a period when the
people were nearly all farmers
and very few manufacturers.
That was the period of national
poverty. Then we imported the
bulk of our merchandise. Now
we make our own goods, not only
for home consumption, but for ex-
port, and give = employment to
millions who otherwise would
have to crowd the farmers for a
livelihood. Instead of rivaling
and competing with the farmer
these millions employed in other
avocations are consumers of farm
products and customers of the far
mer. If Mr.. Neal thinks he can
gull the farmers of Ohio with his
chestnutty game of "percentages"
he has very low opinion, indeed,
of the Buckeye agricolist. Mr..
Neal is destined to be wonder
fully disappointed man.
