Equally absurd is the Unions accu-
satiOn as to the position of the chair
man of the democratic city-township
committee in this contest. Demo-
Gratis are taking no hand in the merry
war. They are looking on and en-
joying the fun, although they cannot
but reflect how far any thinking re-
publican would be from attempting
to nominate Gest in a district in
anyway close. where the two parties
stand on something OF an equal
footing. The falsehood which the
Union utters as to democratic inter-
est in the internecine struggle that
is prevailing now is prompted very
evidently by the attempt that Gest
has made to induce democrats to take
the places in the publican columns
if disguised members of his own par
ty who have deserted him-at least a
dozen democrats have reported to
THE ARGUS having been stopped by
Gest. and their influence and support
solicited BY him. and yet republicans
are seeking to draw the line and do
all sorts Of things in the interest of
Gest.

GOOD LAUNDRY HINTS.

Tn summer time clothes may be
washed without any fire by sonISing
over night in soft, soapy water, rub
bing out in the morning, soaping the
dirty places and laying them in the
hot sunshine. BY the time tue last
arc spread out to bleach, the first may
be taken mp, washed out and rlnsed.
This, of course, requires clean lawn.
Wash graz and brown linens in cold
water, with little black pepper in It,
and they will not fade. Fog washing
other goods that fade, use crude or
household ammonia instead OF soap.
Soiled neckties may be male to look
like new by taking one-halt u tea
spoonful Of ammonia to Il tea-cup Of
water. Wash well, and, il very much
soied, put through second water
with less ammonia. Lay the necktle
on clean, white cloth and gently
wipe with another till dry.
60 wash co!ored muslin. use warm,
not hof, suls, made with soft water
and best white soap. Do not soak the
muslin, and wash only one thing at E.
time. Change the suds as soon az it
looks dingy, and put the garments at
once into fresh suds. Rinse first IN
clear water slightly blued. Squeeze
quite dry, but do not wiring the goods.
Hang ir shady place where the sun
shine will not strike it, as that fades
all colorS.
For lawns aud organizes which are
de!icately colored, boil wheat bran,
about two quarts to dress, in soft
geter for half au hour, let it cool,
strain the liquor, and use it instead of
soap suls. It removes dirt like soap,
keeps the color, end the clothes only
need rinsing in one water, and even
starching is unnecessary. Suds and
rinsing water foc coIorel articles
should be used as coll as possible.
Wash silk handserchiefs by laying
them on smooth board and rubbing
with the palm Of the hand. Use either
borax or white CASTLE soap to make
the surls; rinse in clear water, shake
TIL nearly dry, fold evenly, lay be-
tween boards, put u weight on them.
No ironing is required. Silk ribbons
may be treated in the same menner.
To clean black lace, wipe OF all dust
carefully with cambric handker-
chief Then pin out on Il board, in-
serting pin i'll each projecting point
of the lace. Sponge it all over with
cold ten, and do not remove the pins
until perfectly dry. 1t will look quite
fresh and new.-New York Recorder.
