In these days, when wash silks are
in common usc. Il few words in regard
to washing them may be of interest.
AS silk is an animal fiber, like wool,
1t cannot be treated in the same way
rs cotton. Which may be subjected to
water of all temperatures without
injury. Silk should be washed as rap
idly us possible. Examine the articles
TO be washed. and if there are any
parts especially sDiled clean with Il
little bcnZine or gasoline applied With
j flannel cloth. Then prepare Il soap
suds of lullcwarm water and plunge
the garments in it, sousiEg them up
md down and rubbing them thorough
" i'll this slds. Rinse them into Il
water Il little cooler: and then into Il
third watrr still Il little cooler, and
so on until the final rinSing water is
perfectly cold. DO not blue them.
Wiring them out as dry as possible with
IL machine. Lay them IN sheets or
heavy cloths and roll them as hard as
'ou can in firm rolls. Put them away
for an hour. and at the end of that
time iron them on the wrong side.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
"From Mark Gray to Edwin Booth,
April 2::, 1S73.''


In 1870. while playing Richard in
Chicago. Edwin Booth was fired at
by an assassin. 1t was near the finish
IF the last act. when Booth sat in the
glare of the calcium light, with all the
other lights turned down. and was en-
gagged in the snliloquy. He sat a little
to the right of the center of the stage,
with the prison ON one side and the
cottage on the other. The intending
assassin. Mark Gray, sat nearly on q
level with him in the first balcony and
some thirty feet distant, with the pis-
tol concealed in his sleeve, and in his
left hand holding Il copy of the play,
which he had evidently been following
with the purpose Of firing only at the
right time. When the first shot rang
out there was Il dead silence. Booth
lid not stir. But as Il second ball came
whiZZing down and passed through a
piece of board an inch thick, Booth
quietly rose and went toward the wing.
The man was taken to an asylum. One
IF the bullets. which lodged in the scell-
ary almost directly behind his head,
Booth had set in Il gold cartridge, upon
which he had engraved. ''From Mark
fray to Edwin Booth. April 23. 1879"
md he always kept this grim reminder
If what nearly proved to be Il tragedy.

COOPERATIVE HOMES.

Mr.. Stcntl's Idea of Uniting the
Abodcs of Spinstcrs and bachelors.
The creation of cooperative homes
for bachelors and cooperative homes
for spinsters in London has been fol-
lowed by such brisk demand for the ad-
yaltagcs these establishments offer that
their success is assured. says the New
| York Sun. And now MIR. Stead with
his habitull courage. comes forward
with the original idea that the bachelors
and spinsters should combine their
housekeeping arrangements. Instead of
the modern nlonasteries and nunneries,
such as Toynbce hall and Chimes street
Chambers or in addition to them. Mr..
| Stead recommends homes for fami-
lies Of young persons of both sexes
might 1--we together always, with an
experienced lady housekeeper at the
head, or perhaps Il married couple with
not more than one or two children.
There should be common dining and
drawing rooms, but each tenant should
have his or her private room or rooms
And he adds that Mrs. Grlndy would
have no more reason to be shocked al
his "Co-operative Homes for the Tn
married" than she now has at the ortli
nary boarding house-which is true
enough.
The idea is that unmarried profession
al men and women see too little OF
each other in the relations of ordinary
| friendly intercourse. The boys are SEN
to onc school. the girls to another; the
literary mon have their authors club
the women their writer's club; among
the artists the men have their societies
the English woman artists have none
as vet. Men are the heirs to the idea:
of all the ages in most professions
while socially men are more a1van
tageously placed than women. 1t is no
Il caravansary, but rather a community
which Mr.. Stead recommends. The diff
1iculty will be in the selection of group
whose tastes are congenial among tn
thousands of minated persons of bot
sexes who live i'll boarding houses Fo
though Mr.. Stead says that the mos
aggravating of human beings is les
awful than Solitude" few people wi
agree with him who have endured fh
enforced companionship Of an uncol
! genial soul.

The Coolest Town.

According to tho director of the
Physical Observatory of st. Peters
burg, Nj. Wikl, the coolest inhabited
spot on earth is the village of Vcrk
hoiansk on the Yana River in north
eastern Siberia, about hundred miles
north of the Polar Circle, in latitude
81 deg. 81. Tho mean temperature for
each month in this Arctic village. re-
duccd to the Fahrenheit SCALE is about
as follows:
January. G3 ID deg below zero; Feb
ruary. 81 1-3 deg. below zero: March,
4S IL deg. below zero; April, 4 1-2 deg
above zero: May, - 1-3 deg. above;

tcmbcr % II deg. above; October.
4 1-3 deg. below zero; November, 4O

The mean temperature for the whole
year is 2 3-4 deg. below zero. Fol
Just six months the thermometer is
below zero, and for the other six

1t will be observed that the rise be

to their inability to realizt on securities
rapidly enough to meet immediate de-
mands. George B. Markle is president
of both banks. In an interview he
states that depositors will be paid full,
as the banks assets are two to one over
the liabilities. No statement of the
banks is given.
