bow to Remove Grease spots.

Many women do not like to use
naphtha in removing grease from their
clothing because of the odor which
cIings to the garment afterward- If the
fluid is properly refined it will be with
out scent. But those who object to it
may try the following concoction,
which is remarkably beneficial, in
stead: Dissolve two ounces of borax in
three pints boiling water. Before it is
cold add one teaspoonful of camphor
and bottle Rub the dirty place with .
cloth wet with this mixture and you
will be delighted with the result. !

men and women. all in the employ OF
the company, completely filed the spa
cious hall when Mr. Geibel played an

it was a treat to watch the happy faces of
the boys who received them. Journey

in railroad circles all over the western

was 0n effort by he Gould interests on
one side and the Union Pacific on the
other to obtain control of the Fort

made in the suit of the Mercantile COM
