SCIENTIFIC CLOTHES CLEANING.
An Expert Formula That Will Help the
Home RenOvator.

The chemistry of cleaning clothes Is set
forth in a scientific magazine, and while
women will care little for the technical part
of the operation the story of the actual
process suggests a useful modus operandi
Take, for instance, says The American
Analyst, shiny old coat, vest or pair Of
trousers of black broadcloth, cashmere or
diagonal The scourer makes a strong
warm soapsuds and plunges the garment
into it, souses it up and down, rubs the
dirty places, and, if necessary, puts it
through second time, then rinses it
through several waters and hangs it up to
dry on the line When nearly dry, he takes
it in, rolls it up for an hour or two and
tn en- presses it. An old cotton cloth is
laid on the outside of the coat, and the
iron is pressed over that until tho wrin-
kles are out, but the iron is removed be-
fore the steam ceases to rise from the
goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that arc obstinate are removed
by laying wet cloth over them and press
ing the iron over that. If any shiny places
are seen, they are treated as the wrinkles
are-tho iron is lifted while the full cloud
of steam rises up and brings the nap with
it. Cloths should always have a suds
made especially for them, as in that which
has been used for white cotton or wooden
clothes lint will be left in the water and
will cling to the cloth.
In this manner the same coat and trou
sers can be renewed time and time again
and have all the look and feel of new gar
ments. Good broadcloth and its fellow
cloths will bear many washings and look
better every time because of them.

Even If rs alleged, William G. Whitney
has ordered administration Democrats to
support Wat Hardin, kentuckys free sill
yer candidate for governor, he is learning
that it Is more difficult feat to force a
horse to drink than simply to lead the
animal to water. Tho prominent Demo
Gratis out with swat for Wat are not
few. Tx Governor Buckner, sound
money Democrat, asks the Democrats to
repudiate Hardin because Of his free silver
theories and his reputation Of the sound
money platform. And Governor Buckner
also pays his respects to Senator Black
burn and his free silver views, which
Buckner says would instantly destroy
half the value Of the life time savings of
the industrious poor, of bank stock held by
people of moderate means, of life policies
payable to widows and orphans. 1t would
paralyze every industry, destroy the mar
kets for the sale of our surplus products,
close every financial institution in the
country and bankrupt the public treas
ury." Kentucky Republicans never
looked out upon brighter horizon for
political success In that state than now.

Is suicide ever justifiable? We think
not That 1t is preferable to certain other
crimes may be questioned. There was
suicide committed by a young Brooklyn
wife last week. however, which was as
pardonable in view Of its effect upon
society as any we recall in history. She
had deceived her husband in the crucllest
manner possible, by an act most shocking
however, guilty OF like crime would
scarcely have killed himself. Certainly
there has been no noticeably. increased
mortality among those who are believed
to be rs guilty as was this erring woman.
And It must be admitted that in taking
her own life she demonstrated to the
world higher sense of honor than man
has done under similar conditions. More
over, by her act she paid tribute to the
ethical code of her sex and shocked the
community to an extent that some of the
scales should drop from its eyes, AS
suredly her crime of self murder, so far as
Its effect pertains to society in general,
will exert an influence that is salutary as
compared with that of at least some of the
crimes against the marriage relation and
which are ventilated In the courts of the
land. We do not wish to be understood
as advocating suicide under any circum-
stances. But when comparison Is
drawn between the effect upon the COM
munity OF such crime as that Brooklyn
woman's suicide and of such examples a.
were afforded In the putrid case on trial
before the kennebec superior court Fri
day and Saturday, there seems to be little
question as to which effect is the more
debasing and altogether pernic,ous
