WASHING BLANKETS.
The Only Hard Work Is to Get Them O
the Line Properly.

the Line properly
A sunny, windy day should be select
ed, and only one pair washed in one
day. First put the blankets on the line
and shake the dust out of them. Cut
one pound of good soap in small pieces
and boil in two quarts of water till dis
solved. Add half pound of powdered
borax. Fill tub about half full Of
water and add the soap and borax. Be
sure to have the temperature of the
water the same as that OF the outside
air. This is not a difficult matter, as
water is usually a little colder than the
air in spring and summer, and only then
should blankets be washed. Press the
blankets down into the water and avoid
rubbing; then let the soap and borax
do the worlS-they certainly will. Let
the blankets soak for two hours and
rinse them thoroughly in several waters
until the rinsing water looks clean,
taking care to having the rinsing water
the same temperature as the first water
and the outside air.
Then, without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. Do not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them ex-
actly even, then the color of the stripes
will not run into the white. Although
dripping wet, on clear day they will
dry in four or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The water, not the
washing, will show TO certain extent,
although they will look more like new
ones than they did before washing.
Take in when perfectly dry. They
should not be ironed nor pressed. They
will be clean and will smell sweet. The
only hard work is TO get the blankets
ON the line properly, and if some one will
''lend hand" even this is not very la
borious. -(fOod housekeeping.

No; the mountain sheep does not Leap
from great heights, and land either
upon his horns or his feet. He knows
the strength of his materials too well
to try it. His horns and skull might
successfully withstand the shock. but
the weight of his body would break
his spinal column in two or three
places, to say the least of it. 1t is true
that when hard pressed a herd will
sometimes plunge down a terribly
steep incline, sliding and bounding
from point to point, until they plow
into the ''slide-rock'' below; but as to
leaping over sheer precipice, l never
saw anyone who even claimed to have
ever witnessed such a thing. The old

FOREIGN TRADE
CUSTOMS RECEIPT


The five years mentioned in the
above tabulatiOn are taken because
they present the periods which afford
the best data for fair comparison OF
the workings of the former and the
present tariffs The Mckinley law
went into effect October l. 1890, and
the Wilson law on August %, 1894
The returns for the years 1891, 1888
and 1895 are wholly from the Mckinley
act Its effect reached high water
mark in 1899, while in 1898 commercs
was largely influenced by the antici-
pated tariff action of congress
These facts are made clear By this
showing:
1. Under the Mckinley law our for
eign trade reached greater proportions
than ever before. For the first time in
our history our exports exceeded Ons
billion dollars. and our total exports
and imports were swollen TO the I'M
precedented AMOUNT Of 1857, $50, $40
2. Not only were the markets Of tho
world opened TO IS AID a great in
s..I--5e OF trade scared through reci-
prOcity. but the revenues, while re-
ducod from the surplus-producing fig
u-es OF preceding years, were sufficient
to meet governmental needs
). At The sams tine these benefits
wore conferred on American industry
the proportion OF imports admitted
free was largely increased, and the av-
erage duty collected considerably de-.
creased.
1t is very seldom that a measure
which has been assaulted with such viru-
lence and mendacity as the late tariff
law is so completely and triumphantly
indicated. Mr.. Wilson and his fellow
tariff reformers have themselves fur
nished the most conclusive proof of the
value and necessity of protection %

A good idea of the steady and graf

affairs of this city and territory may
be formed from a comparison of the
reports made by the postmaster of this
city at the end of the quarter ending

the end of the same period in 1894.
There has been q very marked in

Of any community and especially that

barometer it is very plain that the
general Improvement has been steady
and constant. In the money order de-
partment the reports show that the
increase has been over 20 per cent as
compared with last year, and out in
the mailing and carriers departments
there has been an advance fully as
heavy.
For the quarter ending with Septem-
Der 80, 1894, the sale of stock in the
office footed $18,12 10, while for the
quarter just ended the total was $20-
626.43. The revenue from box rents for

but the showing brings forcibly to
mind the fact that there has been q
splendid increase in the carrier SER

the necessity Of so many boxes being
rented. The deposits received from
outside offices during the third quarter
in 1894 totalled Sc q. while for the
same quarter in 1895 they gave a bal
