Points on Laundry Work


"Therc are women in this world VINO

accomplishing anything unless they make
hard work OF il. They sCorn all easf
Va. charaeteriljng them as slack

se.ges great credit for getting through an
enormous amount of hard work
This remark WAS recently called forth
By a wOrdy encounter between an eXpefi.
enccd housekeeper and a woman to whom
she had given a great deal OF work. from
the first there had been an effort TO make
the labor is light as possible, but II was
at last given up as hopeless undertak-
ing.
In all my experience, said this lady,
in naIrating the circumstances, i never
met with a woman so set and obstinate
as the one ! have just been employing
She has resolutely refused to have the
clothes pat to soak, preterring what She
calls elbow grease TO all manner oil labor
saving appliances.
Then she grumbled about the work in
one breath and boosted Of her ability 10
do il another. until it became 80 Wedrl-
some that gave her up in disgust. Dur
ing my residence abroad got some points
in laundry work that were worthy adop-
ten. and others have worked out iol
myself.
1T is the greatest saving OF time and
strength to use a small table or fiat board
and soft serubbing brush.

collar and sleeves badly soiIed and cleanse
II by this process in one-third OF the time
and with infinitely less hard work than
the average laundress. ! make Il mixture
of soap and kerosene oil and let II stand
over night, OF prepare it and keep 1t IN Il
stoppcred jug or bottle. With a soft
brush rub the collar and cuffs and all OF
the soiled places, then roll the garment
up for a few minutes while the others are
being done. When all are prepared, be
Gin with the first and rinse and brush the
surface with hot sOapsuds. In nine cases
out of ten the garment will need no mrth-
er rubbing, do not approve OF clothes
being merely scalded. They need not be
boiled for any length Of time, but should
have about one to three minutes in aCtu-
ally boiling suds. This dissolYes any
gummy substances that may not rub out
OF the hbres, and makes the clothes more
clean and certainly more healthul.
Clothes soaked over night in warm suds
made with the soap and kerosene mix
ture will wash easier and look better, to
say nothing of wearing much longer, than
than those aundried in the ordinary way.

Indications of Health.

All poultry should be examined before
killed for the table or for market. There
is one sure sign OF health which IS
bright red comb. When the comb IS any
other color than red there IS something
wrong with the fowl. If the comb IS pale
it denotes mild aiment, but if it is Pur-
pie, and becomes darker, the fowl is liable
to die at any moment. A flock OF fowls
in which all have red combs is in eXeell-
ent condition and entirely Tree from dis

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

Since the meeting of the State con-
vention, over a week ago, Democrats
throughout the State have been dis
cussing the nomination for Governor
and the power behind the throne in
making the nomination. The 1Egis
has never been what has been known
as ring paper and has always en-
deavored to aim its course above what
has been termed German or anti-Gor-
man believing that a party divided
against itself must fall.
On the result in Maryland this fall
largely will depend the fortunes of the
National Democracy in 1896. Six
months ago our chances for electing a
Democratic president were slim in
deed but, since the country has again
resumed a. era of prosperity, the star
of Democratic success has become
brighter and brighter. 1t would be
unfortunate indeed if the Democracy
of old Maryland were to turn over af-
ter so many years of fealty to our COM
mon enemy the Republican party.
The only questions we as Democrats
are to ask are these. as Mr.. Hurst a
Democrat? was his nomination the
choice of a majority of the delegates
elected fresh from the people? will he
favor reassessment which will COM
pei the rich to bear their proper bur
den of taxation?' If all these ques-
tions are answered in the affirmative,
which is undoubtedly true what posi-
tion can we take except to support
him as the choice of the Democratic
party of Maryland.
Don't let newspapers and individu-
ais who have no more regard for the
success of the Democratic party than
they have for the government of Da-
honey, bias your minds but let us
weigh this fairly and squarely and
see if we are satisfied to turn down the
present administration and start
stampede of all the country south of
Mason's and Dixon's line to the Re
publican party.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE.

The Bannock Indians of Jackson
Hole, Wyoming are on the warpath.
The trouble was caused by the killing
of some Indians by whites. The In
dians attempted to escape after being
arrested for violating the game laws
of Wyoming.
These outbreaks will continue SC
long as tribe of American Indians
exists. 1t is impossible for barbarism
to co-exist with civilization, and be
subject to laws that are not daily en-.
forced by physical compulsion.
The Government does all in its pow.
er to ameliorate the condition of the
Indian. but his lot is a hard one, for
his race is one doomed by fate. The
onward march of civilization has driv,
en- him farther and farther westward
with its gradual but ever moving
tread, and even to-day we read OF
scenes enacted in the far west, the
counterpart of which was experienced
by our forefathers On the shores OF
the Connecticut and Susquehanna.
Troops have been ordered to Jack,
sons Hole, and order may be restored
without serious outbreak.

One of Mr.. Hurst's friend s, spea

One of Mr.. Hurst's friend S, speak
ing of him lately, said that every one
who knows him knows that he will
do exactly what he promises. If he
promises in his letter of acceptance to
make appointments of certain kind
of men to Office he will do it, and if he
promises to sign any assessment bill
passed by the General Assembly he
will do that-no matter who may OBJ
ject. He is a man of his word. Now,
the only difficulty his friends appre-
hend is their ability to convince the
country people that he will stand by
them on this question when he promis-
es to do it. In a letter published sew
eral months ago. in an Eastern Shore
paper, he came out in favor of reassess-
ment, and no one at that time consid-
cred him in the fight for the Governor
ship. He will come out strong enough
to suit the most captious when he
writes his letter of acceptance, and
what he promises to do in that letter
he will do if he can.
