LAUNDERING LINEx.


Some Suggestions That May Prove of In
terest and Value TO nousekecpers.
New York Ledger.
Again and again housekeepers are
told never 10 allow linen to beco me
thoroughly dry before ironing, for it is
almost out Of the question to make it
smooth after once wrinkles are dried
into it, In hanging out linen, especial
care should be taken TO shake IL and
smooth it so that no creases caused by
wrngng it shall be left in it.. Some
housekeepers-those who have small
washes and plenty Of time-shake
towels out thoroughly, fold the two
ends together and pin the fringe to the
line, putting in one pin at each corner
and one at the middle. They claim that
the constant whipping of the fringe
wears the ends Of the towel out much
more quickly than Is necessary.
There is a good theory in this, and
the additional time is worth while un-
less strength and help are OF more i'm.
portance than towels.
Pillow cases should be turned wrong
side out and pinned to the line by the
closed end. Exception to this rule may
be made ON dull or damp DAYS when
tuS Sloluts Wy slONlyi bleu lHty 5nOulu
be pinned to the line at one side of the
open end, but it is worth while for con.
venience in ironing to change them and
let them finish drying pinned by the
closed end.
1t is u good plan, always considering,
of course, whether time and strength
will allow, to take linen sheets and
tablecloths from the line when about
half dry, shake them and smooth them
out, fold them once over and hang them
over the line without any stretching or
pulling. A couple of pins at a little
distance from either edge will keep
them in place. This gives more line
room, which is often greatly needed,
and allows the pieces to dry in much
better shape.
Many laundresses seem to think that
clothes may be flung on to the line in
any way whatever, wrinkled, folded OF
twisted, as the case may be; but this
means just so much additional work
when ironing day comes Things that
are done right in the first place save
much labor and perplexity, as well sas
not little wear and tear OF the article:

The Country's Triumph.

There can III longer be a doubt
that the present century, great
in its triumphs, i'll science and prog
ress, has one O; the most notable
triumph, and one the World has long
attempted in vain to solve. This is
the art of navigating the air. Hir-
S. Maxim has unqurstionably solved
the problem. The State has On saY-
eral occasions given accounts of his
"aeroplainc' and its operation. DIR.
Maxim has spent time and fortune in
developing it. As he says, 81 have
demonstrated that IA good and rela-
BILE motor can be made with sufficient
power for it's weight to drive a flying
machine; thai q very heavy flying
machine may be made 10 laise Itself
in the air with water, fuel and three
men on board; and that it mag hit,
in addition to all this, 1000 pounds.
1t now only remains to continue the
experiment with a view of learning
the art Of maqeouyering the machine. .
PROFESSIONALLY this Is ii}e great
est and most signal triumph Of the
century over nature. We speak of
electricity rcvolutionizing the world,
bnt the power to navigate the air
opens larger possibilities. 1t IS
within the limits Of reason 20 o9y that
within five years from now the air
will be travelled by line of great
airships. We will have at once a
live competitor with railroad and
water transportation. We will fur
Their have the ability for commerce
with sections of earth which cannot
be reached by railroads or water
routes. The problem of the North
pole will be readily solved. Looked
at from the hgmanitarian point Of
view the benefit to humanity will be
very great.
1t will make the neccssalies of life
cheaper by giving new means for
their distribution and will open up
the great food centres of earth to
those who eannos gel their products
now.-Richmond State.

Prosperity in the South.

From all parts of the South come
excellent reports Of material progress.
The Southern corn crop is greater
than ever before; the cotton crop is
large and of fine quality. In Texas
the latter is the largest that the
State has raised, and the prospect Of
the market is assured. While cot
ton is now cheap, it will not do to
overlook the TACT that six ceuts a
pound for cotton nowadays is a very
different thing from what it was q
few years ago. People generally
have not yet learned to take into con-
sideration the fact that the modern
bye products of cotton are worth
nearly two cents pound moro, so
that the farmers six cents is really
equivalent to eight cents.
The corn crop is SO large that the
South will this year have surplus
instead Of being compelled to import
corn for her own consumption, The
outlook for her manufacturing indus
tries, and her cotton mills in particu-
lar, is better than ever before in her
history, and in every substantial and
material element of business the gem
eral condition of the South is more
encouraging and satisfactory.
In respect to Southern railroad in
terests the reorganization of the
Riehmopn Terminal system and the
merging Of the thirty or forty rail-
roads composing it into the new
Sothern Railway Company is moth
ing short of revolutionary. AS af-
fecting Southern business affairs Of
all kinds its significance cannot be
overestimated. 1t means the sub
stitution in the pivotal industry and
dependence Of the country of order
in the place of chaos, and Of stability
and responsibility in the place of ab-
solnte responsibility. Never in the
history of railroads was such hope
less chaos and incfiiciency manifest
ed as in the administration of tile
thousands and thousands of miles of
railroad directly and indirectly in
yolyed in tho Richmond Terminal
system. Shippers could place NO

had to hunt up some new scheme OF

suit this progeny, conceived in fraud
and brought forth in iniquity was

always been bone of contention, be-

The Issues Involved In the Present
Campaign.

The Issues Involved In the Present
Campaign.
The issues involyed in this cam
paign are those for which the Demo
cratic party has been contending for
wears. They are the same identical
issues that were submitted to the
country at the last Presidential cleo
ton, and upon which the Democratic
party was placed in power. Now the
question is, are the people going to
countermand the instructions given
their representatives before they have
fairly commenced upon their work?
Are they willing and ready to con-
denim before they have seen the result
of it? Would not such course be
the height Of absurditye 1t is no
easy matter to undo in a short time
the result Of thirty years of corrup-
tion. and the PosT believes that the
Democrats will have an opportunity
TO demonstrate beyond the shadow Of
doubt, that protection is one of the
most blighting curses, with which
we have ever been afflicted
9'hc disaster and corruption that
has ever followed in its wake is terri
BILE to contemplate. The highway
robbery that has been going on un-
checked right in our midst is horri-
s,le. All around us are men who

aided and abetted by the Republican
party. Ask Andrew Carnegie how
he managed to build up such a

fraud was never ianached upon us, as
