HOW TO CLEAN DRESSES.

Get five cents wortnaof soapbark from
the druggist (about &eSeacupfuD. For
one dress take half of it and steep in
about one quart of boiling water for
about half an hour or more, then strain
through a. cloth.
For aailk dress, while the liquid is
warm, take a piece of white flannel and
dip into it at intervals, and rub the silk.
or satin, with it till it seems cleansed.
When done, pull the material straight,
and hang it to dry. Do not iron either
the silk or satin. If the dress is very
much soiled, use clean liquor to rinse it;
but do not use clear water for silk, or it
will not stiffen up we'll.
For a wooden dress dip the part to De
cleansed, or the whole of it. If needed,
into the liquor. This can be rinsed in
the same after washing, or in clean warm
water. If very dirty put the dress to
soak in a tub in the liquor with more
water added before cleaning or washing.
The wooden goods should be pressed unit
it is quite dry.
Water in which potatoes have been
boiled will cleanse delicate colored
wooden or worsted goods. The dress
| should be wet all over. Use no soap

still damp. This will not injure the
most delicate colors.-Boston Cultivator.

A Scheme to Make Good Indians.

In Arizona there are now nearly $1,000
Indians, distributed among the various
tribes as follows: Navajos, 1926; Mo-
quis, 1875; Apaches, 1929; Pimas and
Papagos, 8721; smaller tribes, 29ll. In
this large body of people there should
be material for the backbone of a labor
ing class of people adapted to the wants
of this country in a most admirable man
ner. They are natives to the soil and
climate, hardy as a whole, energetic.
They need, however, the opportunity to
acquaint themselves with the more mod
ern ideas Of agriculture and with horti-
culture, of which they know nothing,
with the breeding and handling of fine
stock, and, in fact, they neeo to be
taught in the ways of civilized life, when
they will become a useful factor of the
Southwest. 1t is the only solution Of
the ''Indian problem .''-Pheuix (AEi.

Wolves In Russia.

Wolves are specially active this " inter.
Even in France accidents have been re.
ported, and Government has thought il
necessary to urge the Louvetiers to exert
themselves. Dreadful stories have
reached us from the plains of Eastern
Europe, where the inhabitants are used
to reckon wolves as IN abiding peril Of
the winter season, and take no great ac-
count of the victims whose lives are lost
in the accustomed tanner. But it is
many years since a town-even as
s'towns" go in Russia-was actually be-
sieged by these animals. Such, we are
told, Is the fate of Tikhvin, in the Pro-
vince of Novgorod. They quarter its
neighborhood in large packs, and make
forays into the streets, Selling any living
thing they can catch. The women
stay indoors, and the men only go out
armed to the teeth. This tale is not to
be dismissed as a mere fable. 1t may
probably be exaggerated by legendary
incidents handed down from the time
when there was no safety outside the
kOWuSS 4k4C NOfCluoA 10 SabN w AoFS
despatched a battalion of infantry, sot-
MIA of Cossacks, and three hundred Chas-
seurs to make wal upon the enemy. Such
a force may protect Tikhvin, but it is
not be hoped that the wolves will suffer
much. They will be driven off to prey
upon the country districts. Those who
know nothing of the matter are apt to
regard it as another evidence OF baroar-
ism that these creatures should be al.
lowed to flourish. Why DIES not the
Government or the people e~xterminate
them2 The answer is that it cannot be
done, even in France, though they might
be reduced to a trifing number there If
the Louvetiers were in earnest. But
wolves are migratory. Many OF those
which are beleaguerlng Tlknvin may
have travelled from Siberian wastes

CAN YOU BOIL A HAM?

Boiling a ham is not The simple thing
it seems. 1t should be scraped and
washed carefully and left in water over
night. In the morning when the water
--enough to cover the ham--is nearly
boiling, lay the ham in and keep the
water in a simmer. When it has boiled
about an hour throw in two carrots, four
onions, two heads of celery, a sprig of
parsley, two or three blades of mace and
four cloves. If the ham is very salt, it
is we'll to change the water before put
ting in the seasoning, but if you do, be
sure to change to boiling water. To
obtain tenderness and mellowness the
ham must not be allowed to boil hard,
only simmer. When the ham is done,
set it off in its own water and let it cool
in it; by this means it will retain its
moisture. When cool take it out, skin
it and dredge bread crumbs and pepper
over it and set it in the oven until it
browns.---New York World.
