FIannels must be washed separately
from the white clothes. Therefore,
when the other washing is out of the
way cut into shreds a pound of good
yellow soap. Put it into a clean sauce
pan with two quarts of water, and set
it on the fire until the soap has com
pletely dissolved. Then put it aside
until the following day, when it should
be a jelly. Two large pans will be re-
ouired, both of which must be filed
with water, as hot as the hands can
bear. Into one put sufficient soap
jelly to make the water feel soft and
soapy. 1t should have the appearance
of a creamy lather.
The flannel articles should be each
one taken from the heap singly, well
shaken and plunged into the lather. 1t
must be lightly rubbed all over, but
any portion likely to be soiled, such as
the collar and wristbands of flannel
shirts, will need an extra rubbing.

Here I may mention a common mis-
take. 1t is sometimes supposed that it
is the soap which wants rubbing into
the clothes, whereas it is the water.
Soap assists in the cleansing process,
but it is the water which really does
the work.
Then the flannel mus be Immediate
ly plunged into the second water.
Here it is rubbed through in just the
same way, and turned in order that
every part may receive it's full share OF
rinsing. When cleared of soap, it
should be wrung tightly with the
hands or passed through an india
rubber wringer, which will not break
any pearl buttons there may be in it.
Wringing the article in a sheet or
white cloth considerably absorbs the
moisture. Shake the flannel we'll,
then hang it Immediately before the
fire n in the sun to dry.

KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.

There has been almost a revolution
in kitchen utensils in this century.
Previous to this time. the only uten-
sils were heavy iron pots and the time,
honored pipkin of earthenware, in
which cooking had been done since the
beginning of civilization. Fortunate
indeed was she who possessed a Dutch
oven, in which she could bake her bis
cult under the ashes and Goals of the
fireplace. The bread baking was done
in a brick oven.
Modern cook stoves produced a revo-
luton in woman's work as we'll as in
cooking. There was no more lifting of
cumbrous iron pots off and On the
crane. The pot could stand on the
stove and be filed there, as we'll as
heated. Ligher utensils soon followed,
and we soon began to learn that all
metals, even when non-poisonous, were
not equally adapted to cooking. A
great deal of bad cookery may be
traced to bad tin kettles and utensils of
other material, which were incapable
of doing their work properly. They
were not injured by the heat, but they
were not proper conductors of the
heat. Until recently copper was the
best conductor of heat, but it is heavy
and has always been expensive. With
the discovery of aluminium and it's
manufacture at a low price, copper has
a powerful rival. Here is a metal
which is in every way the equal of cop
per as a conductor of heat, and is as
light as porcelain.
Even now there is every indication
that kitchen utter sis Of this ideal metal
may soon be within the reach of every
one. There are companies already
making complete kitchen outfits OF
pure aluminium. One Of the kitchens
atthe Chicago Exposition was furnished
IN this way. The price is still high,
but has been steadily decreasing within
the last few years, and one of the eood
| results even of it's introduction has
been a reduction in price of all the
| other classes of materials. Copper
+ agate ware, enamelled ware and the
J best kinds of all kitchen utensils have
been reduced in the presence of a com
petitor that overshadoWs them. Ever
if one cannot secure the ideal metal it
self, he can now obtain at a reasonably
low price the best that was to be haG
before It's intrCduc Sion.-N. Y. Tribun

The judge of a western Court, in or
der to secure safer and more civilized
condition of affairs in the court room,
asked the twelve jurymen and the ten
attorneys present to place their pistols
in a pile in the corner of the room, but
there seemed to be some hesitancy ia
complying with the request, and the
judge insisted.

jury, Il guess the balance of us will

THE QUEEN OF ALL.

Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy locks on her
brow, ploughed deep burrows on her
cheeks, but is she not sweet and beauti-
full? The lips are thin and shrunken
but those are the lips which have
kissed many a hot tear from the child
ish cheeks, and they are the sweetest
lips in all the world. The eye is dim
yet it CLOVIS with the soft radiance of
holy love which can never fade.
All, yes, she is a dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run out,
but feeble as she is, she will go further
and reach down lower for you than
any other upon earth. You cannot
walk into a midnight where she can
not see you; you cannot enter a prison
whose bars will keep her out; you can
never mount a scaffold too high for her
to reach, that she may kiss and bless
you in evidence of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and for
sake you, when it leaves you by the
wayside to die u%nnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms, and carry you home and tell you
of all your virtues until you almost
forget that your soul is diefgured by
vices. Love her tenderly, and cheer
her declining years with holy devotion.
