HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

THE ADVANTAGE OF A BLEACHING GROUND.
Bleaching powders, chloride of lime
and chemicals are damaging things to
use on good fabrics. They will inevi-
tably decrease their wearing qualities,
and unless used with the utmost care
are likely to make holes in the goods.
For all-round bleaching, grass plot
is the best of all places. To spread
the linen out on the green turf and
keep it we'll sprinkled with soapsuds
for few days is to insure q bleach as
perfect as one could ask. Failing of
this. great deal can be done on tho
roof of porch or on the lines in the
yard. Many housekeepers do not
seem to be aware that if clothes are
hung out of a suds dripping, and al
lowed to drain and dry in bright
sunshine, they will bleach almost as
we'll as ON the grass. They may be
sprinkled again and again, and for this
purpose force-pump that can be used
in pail of water Is of very great adj
vantage. In localities where there
are no drying grounds or bleaching
facilities of any other sort, good
deal may be accomplished by hanging
a little frame from the window and
putting the pieces to be bleached upon
this. One ingenious woman has had
hinged frame attached to the out.
side of the window sill. The frame
turns up against the wall and is Sc
cured with hook. Whenever it is
necessary either to bleach or dry any
thing, the frame is let down, strong
coid fastened at the other end and
drawn through ring at the top OF
the window keeping it in position.
Hero stained table linen or other ar
ticles are hung out and kept wet with
soapsuds, bleaching out in very sat.
isfactory fashion.
Any of these ways are far superior
to the chloride of lime bleaches or
any OF the thousand and one labor.

ItaIy's King Is Economical.


No royal or imperial court of the old
world IS conducted on so economical
or short-handed a scale as that of the
Quirinal, King Humbert being desirous
of setting an example of saving and
good management to his people, espe.
cially in these times of financial dis.
tress in Italy. This is all the more to
his credit since he does not hoard the
money thus economized but gives it
away to charities. 1t is doubtful
whether there is monarch in Europe
who thus distributes so much as he
does, besides which he has paid off tho
enormous debts left by his father and
saved from ruin and disgrace several
kof Victor Emmanuers principal asso.
ciates in the organization of Italy, as
now constituted, by means of the pay
ment of their debts as well as by the
purchase from their political foes of
documents, calculated to compromise
and destroy their good name. King
Humbert himself is the treasurer of
his household, and not q day passes
without his going over the accounts Of
the palace, personally controlling every
cent of expenditure.

The Englisnman's Neatness.

Americans are often puzzled to ac-
count for the neatness of attire which
distinguishes most English gentlemen.
Few will deny that as a rule English
men are always well dressed. The fol-
lowing Information comes directly from
an English source, and has the weight
of preponderent logic on its side:
Most Americans buy one suit and
wear 1t until they buy another-that is,
after the first is worn too much to ap-
pear genteel. In England we do the
thing differently. lnstead of one suit
we buy three or four, OF perhaps, half
q dozen, at the same time. We wear
one suit to-day and another tomorrow,
changing as often as the fancy takes
us. Result, neatness and variety, what
is called being well dressed. 1t costs a
little more to start with, but 1t is econ
omy in the end. After the first cost, 1t
takes no more to keep up the supply
than to buy single suits, as 1t is only
necessary to add a single suit at time.

RED CLOVER.

Robin, atilt on the apple-tree,
Singing your love to the waking world,
What is the sweetest thing you see
From the quivering bough with the dew
impearled?
Do you love the golden daisies best,
Or the roses glowing with splendid fire?
What do you tell your mate In the nest
or the flowers that bloom for your hearts
desire?
Robin, winging across the dell,
That the ripping wind goes swayinS over
AS you dip and rise to the long sea-swell
OF the waves that pass DER the blush-red
clover,
think you say to your mate in her nest,
And She, fancy, chirps back to you,
That the lowliest blooms you both love
best,
While over your brood the sky is blue.

TAX ON TAXATION.

To the Editor: On the first page of your
valuable paper of October ?, among the
dispatches / noticed one from Washington
City to the effect that our national ex-
penses during the last twenty-seven
months have exceeded our revenues by
s12o. 900. 000 The point to which l wish TO
call the readers attention is that during
the same period the owners Of valuable
land in the United States have become
s.. los. 900 600 richer by virtue of rents and
speculation in bare land without reference
to returns from improvements. The above
calculation is made from pages AS. 14e 147
of Natural Taxation" a work based upon
the cesus report of 1890. by Thomas G.
Sherman. of New York. In the same
chapter Mr.. Sherman shows that If all
taxes for the maintenance of our national
state. county and municipal governments
were levied upon ground rents an annual
balance of s763. 252. 900 would still drop into
the pockets Of land owners.
Why not lexy upon ground rents suffi-
cient tax TO defray all governmental re-
quirements and do away with bonds. in
terest and deficits? Such a tax would be
a tax on taxation, for who are better sub
jects for taxation than those who levy
taxes upon others for the mere privilege
of living upon the land? On page l34 OF
the same book. Mr.. Sherman says:
This natural tax might be adopted in
one do not only without injury 10 the
nation, but with positive benefit TO more
than nine-tenths of all the people"

the near future will be quite as remark
able as II has been in the past.
Not content with banishing the horse
from street car service. the ingenuity or
man now proposes to deprive him of the
honor of drawing carriages. Successful
experiments have been made in France
as well as I'm this country with carriage
motors, and It Is predicted that in few
years they viii be quite commonly used.
The latest invention for the propulsion Of
carriages is q gasoline motor. something
which has recently been greatly i'm
proved and Is said to have none of the
objections which heretofore have been ad-
vanced against such driving gear. The
tests already made seem TO prove that it
is far ahead OF anything of the same
character yet devised, and its creator be-
Iieves it will speedily meet with favor.
A tank holding FIVE gallons of gasoline
will propel a carriage twenty miles. and
a new supply can be obtained at any
grocery store just as easily as a
horse can be watered at wayside
trough. The trouble with gasoline mo-
tors heretofore constructed has been
the monotonous puff. puff of the
repeated explosions. which has in
large measure destroyed the pleasure
of a drive in the new vehicle. In the
latest machines. however, this defect has
been remedied. There is no noise or jar,
and the smell is avoided by using spe-
ciaIly prepared gasoline.
The vehicle itself is very light, pneu-
matte tires being used and the bearings
so adjusted that the motion of
the machine Will be as easy as
that OF a bicycle. If the price is not an
reasonable there Is no reason why as
pleasure vehicles they should not come
into quite general use In the cities and
wherever the roads arc good. The amount
saved I'm the cleaning of streets. should
horses be dispensed with, would alone
be enormous. The cost of repairing the
streets would no doubt be greatly re-
duced. It being predicted that the wear
and tear from the pneumatic tire would
amount TO little or nothing.
In this day OF wonderful creations II
would not be surprising IL the gasoline
carriage should DC so perfected as TO
make It's use very general for reasons OF
comfort as wei as economy. or course
It cannot be destined for places built on
hillsides or even for that business which

rough material. But as a pleasure We
hicle Il would not be surprising. in this

universally adopted as being something
that was reliable and could be guaranteed
sound and kind. with no predictions for
shying or running away.
