4 NEW FERRY WANTED.

More Facilities Aske ed Between West TWEEN.
ty.third Street and Jersey City.
Many business firms ir the vicinity Of Sixth
and Eighth avenues and Twenty-third street
have petitioned the Board OF Aldermen to es-
tablsh ferry across the North River
from the foot OF West Twenty-third street
to the business part of Jersey City. They
say that such ferry would greatly pro-
mote the convenient. economical, and speedy
passage of travellers and transfer Of baggage
and freight between the most important part of
Jersey City and the uptown parts Of New York.
BY means of the Twenty-third street railway.
running to the foot of West Twenty-third street.
easy access is given to the retail shopping dis
trict and to oil other parts of New York city for
q single fve-cent fare.
There 10 now one ferry to Jersey City from tho
foot ofSW est Twenty third street. which has been
maintained for many years by the Erie Rail-
way. Its New Jersey terminus Is at the foot Of
Pavonia avenue, some distance north OF the dis
trict with which the applicants to the Board Of
Aldermen wish to connect The Desbrosses and
Cortlandt street ferries of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company lead to >bhe Jersey terminus
of that road In the heart Of the district which
the applicants for tho new ferry consider it 80
i'm mportant to reach.
Recently. the Twenty-third street terminus of
the PavOIia Ferry has received additional car
facilities There is line which runs, from
Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue to the foot
OF West Twcnty-third street called the Green
line. and new line, the Yellow line runs there
from Ninety-third street and Lexington avenue.
The Bleecker street cars. from the lower east
side. have their terminus at the foot of Twenty
third street at the west side. and. as the system
of surface transfers is extended. the business
of the Twenty-third street cross-town lines has
been Increased. The Secretary OF the Twenty
third street company. who is also the Secretary
of the Beecker street company. Is one of the
signers OF the application for the new ferry.
Another reason for the development OF busi-
ness at the Twenty-third street terminus. apart
from the muItpl icatiOn Of dry goods stores be-
tween Fourteenth street and Twenty-street on
Sixth avenue, is that there 10 no direct car line
on Fourteenth street running from east to west
that Is from Fourteenth street and the North
River to Fourteenth street and the East River
The case Is different with rwenty-third street,
where car may be take from ono of the Long
Island ferries at Twenty third street and the
third third street t and the North River without change
transfer, or exta fare. The city regulates the
men approves tho application for new ferry at
Twenty. third street, the Comptroller will have
charge OF fixing the conditions under which the
franchise will be let.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Washing Lace Curtains.

AS the semi-annual washing of curtains is
about to take place perhaps few remarks
or suggestions may be helpful to some of the
readers. Woman's Interests says:
Washing lace or muslin curtains is bug
bear that need not be such dreadful thing
if taken hold of in the right way. Let soap
and water do most of the work unassisted.
Punch and press the curtains as they lie in
the suds, but do not rub them. Be careful
also in punching. One good plan is to gen
thy rub between the hands and press up and
down in the hot water. When the dirt has
become loosened, lift the curtains from one
tub of water to another pressing between
the hands instead of wringing. or use the
wringer set so as to give light pressure.
When we'll rinsed put the curtains into
thin starch water, press a little between the
hands and hang dripping upon the line.
Make fresh starch for each curtain. AS the
lace dries pull it into shape, picking out the
edges, and when partially dry, take from
the line and iron, dampening any spots that
have become too dry. If you possess set
of stretchers they will be found quite help
full. They can easily be made by taking
your clothes props and mailing them to-
gether ard lacking the curtains onto the
frame" This is an easier way than pin
ming to sheet or into frames and has given
good results in my experience. When lace
curtains are old they should be handled
very tenderly else the weight of the water
may tear the fabric. A piece of rather
coarse white net is useful for repairing old
lace curtains; cut out pieces to fit the holes
and secure by over and over stitches along
the mesh and the result will be very differ
ent from patch set on.
Ruff1ed muslin curtains may be ruined
the first time they are done up by, careless
use of the iron along the gathered edge of
the ruffle.

Home Decorations.

Denim and duck make serviceable door
hangings They come in colors, the denim
being now woven in red and black, change
able and in brown. A band of the denim
turned wrong side out and cat-stiched on
with cream white linen launders we'll. A
conventional pattern may be painted on in
bold free hand. such as large sunhOwers,
pond lilies, or exaggerated fine petalled
flowers. In fact, pond lilies, with their
large decorative leaves, are extremely useful
forms in all kinds of snowy ornaments.
Instead of the double-faced canton flannel,
which is so generally used under the linen
cloth for protection and comfort, the shops
are showing an undercloth made of white
muslin, with a thin interlining of white
wadding, and quilted. The edges are SIM
ply bound with tape or ribbon, and come in
several sizes. This leaves no lint upon the
table as canton flannel is apt to do when a
warm dish is placed upon 1t.
The laundering of the many doilies, bu-
reau scarfs and small draper1es now so
plentiful in the modern house is quite an
item.
washed in hot suds, and if badly soiled
and yellowed, should be boiled for two min
utes. Then the clothes should be rinsed
thoroughly in clean, cold water, and finally
dipped in slightly blued water
A rubbing board should not be used in
this work, but the soiled spots may be rubbed
hard in the hands. Muslin and scrim must
be handled gently and be squeezed in the
water rather than rubbed, even by the
hands. Scrim and muslin should be stiff
ened by dipping them into thin, boiled
starch. They should be thoroughly dried
then dampened, and rolled up tightly for an
hour before ironing. When scrim or muslin
is ironed, be careful to pull out the edges
straight, and, having the 1atiron clean,
press out the rutfls or lace edges first. Linen
and denim whether embroidered in white
or colors, do not need any starch. They
should be irOned when damp, and then Will
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-06-05

be sufficiently stiff. Wash them in rather
warm suds, rinse carefully, and hang them
where the sun will pour down on
them. Do not use hot water, especially
when colored silks or linen have been used,
and hasten the laundering as much as posi-
BILE. Iron embroidered cloths OIL the wrong
side till perfectly dry.
Ribbons used to ornament various pieces
of fancy work often need washing. Wash
them in the same way as embroidered
cloths, and protect them from the iron with
clean brown paper on a cloth. Be sure to
iron them before they are wholly
dry. Scarlet washes best among the colors
for ribbons, and the satin finished ribbons
will appear after laundering almost as fresh
as new, but MORE ribbons lose their unique
finish.

Ohildren's Parties.

Notwithstanding The ClOseness OF our
purses just now, during the long, tedious
summer months when there is nothing of
interest occurring to divertsthe children's
minds from the humdrum life of a vacation,
nothing will add more to the pleasures of
the little ones, and older ones, too, for that
matter, than little out door party. We
older people know that meeting together
at given times is good for us; it brings US
into closer companionship with each other
and has tendency to destroy selishness

Remodeling Old Furniture.

Most all hOusekeepers have stored away
in some out of the way place cast off pieces
OF furniture. A writer says:
One sometimes has pieces of oldtime fur
uiture which, but for old associations con-
nected with it, would long since been dis
posed of to make room for something more
modern. Much of the old-fashioned furni-
ture is so pretty, with curious shape and
quaint carving, that one dislikes to see it
disposed Of To transform such an article
into one both useful and ornamental, is to
me facinating employment
An Old-fashiO1ed high bureau without q
glass may be made into pretty little ward
robe. or (now fashionable) low book case,
if one has taste for such work, quite easily,
and at small outlay for new material. No
matter If the nobs are missing, you will
need only one drawer; the top one if you
make book case. If the top drawer pro-
jects out over the ones beneath it a few
inches, as they we're sometimes made. so
much better. You know some of the old
bureaus have such a pretty carved post up
each side of the drawers, with the top
drawer projecting. Such one is just right
! for a nice wardrobe. Remove all the draw
ers but the top one, and get new dresser
handles (Which you can buy at the furniture
store for 25 cents pair unless it is al
ready furnished with something better in
the way Of antique brass or glass knobs.
Either paint the inside a pretty light color
or paper it nicely, and if you want to use
%ho ho f0r oil 9TH
into it in the space below the drawer. If it
is to hold children's dresses and wraps and
things which should hang. put double ward
robe hooks through the bottom of the
drawer, choosing those with short screws,
and put wall hooks in the sides. It. the bu
reau is made of cherry or maple, or any
nicely grained wood, clean it by scraping
with glass and then rub with sandpaper. If
it has been painted. or is greasy from long
use OF neglect, clean with strong solution
of potash, applied with large swab. When
the wood is cleaned and dry, either give it
coat, or more of varnish, or oil it with lin
seed OIL
Make curtains Of any of the pretty, soft
material for such Uses, and have them to
part in the middle Furnish with tiny,
bright curtain rings, and hang on brass
rod fastened close up beneath the drawer.
If the curtains are light enough to blow
about, fasten tiny brass bangles few inches
apart on the lower edges. Little bangle
bells are nice, and they will make a soft
tinking sound when the curtains are drawn
The only difference in making a book
case is 10 leave the lower drawer for news
papers and fit board tightly just above it
as a cover to it, and after removing the
upper drawer, fit the shelves in the space
from the lower drawer to top of the bureau
