nent disfgurements If left upon the
goods when they are washed, it il
necessary to know the immediate
remedy in order to deal with them at
once. A list of the most common
stains with the treatment which will
remove each is a convenient clipping

ence.
| Fruit stains, when fresh, may be
removed by pouring boiling water
through the stained portion until the
spot disappears.
Old fruit stains may be removed
with oxalic acid. Wash the stained
portion in the acid till clear: rinse at
once in rain water, as the acid will
streak the fable if left upon it. Now
wet the spot in ammonia and give a
final rinsing.
Grass stains should be rubbed with
molasses thoroughly and then washed
out as usual. Another treatment
is to rub with alcohol and then wash
in water.
Rust and ink stains should be rub
bed with juice of lemon and the spot
then covered with salt and the cloth
placed in the sun. If this treatment
does not serve to remove the stain, or
If the fabric is colored and so cannot
be treated with the lemon juice, OK
alic acid may be used as for old fruit
stains. Still another treatment is to
apply mixture of two parts tartar
one part powdered alum; this latter
is good for a variety of stains which
fall under other methods.
Ink that is freshly split upon car
pet should be covered with coarse or
common salt or Indian meal. 1t the
stain is is not absorbed, rub with
lemon juice.
Mildew is often very stubborn
thing to get rid of. Cut ordinary
soap into shavings and cook it to a
paste upon the spot, scatter upon it
finely powdered potash and spread
the fabric upon the grass for twenty
four hours. Wash in rain water and
in all ordinary cases the spot will have
disappeared. If it is not entirely
gone, repeat the process. The same
treatment is effectual in the case of
wine or fruit stains.
Wagon or bicycle grease, pitch or
tar may be removed by speading lard
upon the spot. rubbing it well in and
then washing out as usual.
The same kind of stain upon silk
may be removed by rubbing with a |
mixture of equal parts of oil of tur-
pentine and ether until all impurities
seem removed, then cover the spot
with French chalk, cover with a blot
ting paper and press with hot iron.
Repeat this until the spot entirely

MOTHERS IN-LAw, ATTENTION

1t would be good idea for mother,
in-law to let their daughters-in-law
alone where domestic matters are con
cerned, unless their advice is asked.
This sounds harsh, but it is meant
to be sensible.
The husbands mother, as a rule, is
too fussy about her son.
Of course it is difficult for her to
realize that another women and a
comparative stranger, can know as
much about "my boy" as his mother
does. but it's very often true.
So that CHEEKY and wide-awake
mother-in law, who comes in smiling
makes no suggestions, offers no criti-
cisms, thinks everything splendid
or says she does-and isn't full of tire
some "reminiscences of show she used
to do" is likely to be the power be-
hind the throne if she covets that po-H
sition.

FARMING AS A BUSINESS,

We once knew farmer who, likt
many others, followed farming becaus,
it SCENE ! the only way by which HI
could exc out living. His sole objecI
in life seemed to be the avoidance OF
work. If the yield of his fields fur.
nished him a fairly constant supply OF
food and the hecessaries of life, which
with him were whisky and tobacco,
his ambition was entirely satisfied.
And yet this man solaced himself with
a certain quaint philosophy. In the
hoeing season lie would carefully select
the --LATEST rail on his corn-field fence,
and seating himself on it proceed to
take observation. The result was in
variably an announcement about as
follows:
"Wall, thar's part of the field that
looks right rank aud thrifty. That
will get along we'll enough without any
h0eing. But thar's another part that
looks powerful slim and sickly. That
won'i he Nuth cuss if d. hoe itw
And shuuldering his hoe he would
leave his com field to the tender care
of Ma: ure.
This farmer was only the represen-
tativc Of class. iou meet his type
in every farming community, and by
the rnnr succ. 81 If This class many form
erroneous ideas regarding farming as a
business. There is more shif. lessness
10 br found in farming, because in
other pursuits the same habits would
soon slarve IA man TO death. But bet
ter days are al hand. First class i'm
plem'nts and improved fam machin-
cry are great civiliZeIs. Farmers may
accomplish greater results with less
labor than they formerly did, but they
must think more. The farmers who
take a pride in their wolk, and read,
study and systemize, are the class who
will win. The poetry of farming has
set led down To a more beautiful prose.
The eenii of old which accomplished
SO much in single day have become
ma,t rialized, and they take the form
of sulky plow. the corn-planter and
the hal yesteT.- Western Plouman.
v n
Tie life of a farmer has often been
called "a life Of drudgery. There is no
occupation that has a larger ratio of |
inspirating labor to one whose tastes |
are in harmony with rural life. The
weak point in American farming has
been the lack of appreciation of the
necessary TO a successful
career. Too many men have been
willing tr be thieves If the soils re-
sources that they might swell their
bank accounts. To the young man or
woman, fairly well educated, who will
add some technical knowledge of our
special schools of agriculture to their
there is no more promis-
ing field OF enterprise than farming:
but to insure that satisfaction in its
prosecution which makes any occupa-
Jon enjoyable, business spirit must be

The constitution of Maryland pro.
vides "that in all criminal prosecutions
every man hath a right to a
speedy trial by an impartial jury"
But some years since the legislature
passed an act providing that in cases
of vagrancy the accused might be com
mitted to the workhouse, by a magis-
trate, for one year or less, without
trial by jury. A man thus committed
was brought before Judge Yellot on
writ Of habeas corpus, and he was
promptly discharged, on the ground
that the act under which he had been
committed was unconstitutional. The
case was appealed by the county, and
the Court of Appeals (the Supreme
Court of Maryland sustained the stat
ute on the ground that The constitution
Of Maryland must be interpreted in
harmony with the practice under the
unwritten constitution of England, in
which country the guarantee of trial
by jury is not held to extend to such
cases. Reinforced by this decision.
the magistrates of Maryland continued
to commit to the workhouse, without
jury trial, such Migrants as were
brought before them; and Judge Yellott
as promptly discharged every man
thus deprived of his liberty who was
brought before him on writ of habeas
corpus; and this, Notwithstanding the
fact that case after case was taken to
the Court of Appeals, and always with
the same result, namely, that the law
was sustained. But the venerable
Judge Yellott treated it as void until
his retirement from the bench on ac-
count of the infrmities of old age. And
we all say honor to such a Judge.

Indiana has gold field in Brown
county. Every three months the fever
rises and local furry ensues, but the
gold remains in its native hills. Now a
machine has been invented that is said
10 be able to secure the invisible dust
that fills the sand and earth along the
headwaters of Salt creek. The gold
bearing region consists of about sew
enty-eight square miles in Brown,
johnson and Monroe counties. Whether
a vein or lode exists in the hills re-
mains to be ascertained. Heretofore
all the gold has been found in flakes and
nne particles in the sand Heavy
rains carry it down from the hills. This
indicates that the hills have the yell
low metal hid away somewhere in their
bowels. 1t has never been found in
paying quantities, but the new machine
may make the Hoosier field of fabulous
richness.

The New Woman Takes a Hand.


The new woman asserted herself in
Redkey. Ind, last week. Duncan
Clark's female minstrels were booked
to appear at the opera house. and upon
the arrival of the troup small dodgers
were distributed promising a decidedly
sensational entertainment Some time
previous to this a variety troupe had
given private performance to twenty
six married men. in the back room of
a saloon. The local paper exposed the
performance, and a number of family
rows were the result. When the Gaiety
troupe opened the doors Saturday night
about twenty-five indignant female
church members surrounded the doors
ready to take down the names of all
who attended. Nearly every married
man in town had arranged to attend,
but when they found the indignant ar
ray OF females at the door lost all in
terest in the show, and, sitting down
outside, awaited developments. About
nifty men, however, ran the gantlet and
took in the show, while fully 500 people
We're on the outside. expecting some ex-
citement. At IL o'clock the performance
closed without any disturbance, when
the manager announced that they
would give an after-performance think
ing the women outside would think the
show was over and go home. But they
were not to be deceived, and the after
performance was given to those who
saw mt to brave the wrath of the wom-
en-. The show was of the variety kind.
and no worse than many others At
midnight the show closed and the new
woman" went home.

THIS COW GOT DRUNK.

she Had Eaten Discarded Apples and
Went ON Four Days Drunk.
Il isn't often that cow gets drunk
and acts Just like man with jag.
But a Sussex county IN. j. COW went
on spree recently. Washington Lam
bert. well-known farmer, tells about
IL, and his language is as follows; 1t
was up to Harm Sice's place. Sices
COW went wrong all Of a sudden. IN
stead of giving her ten or fifteen quarts
OF milk day she dropped to three, and
seemed to do nothing but lie around In
the pasture. Harm thought she was
pretty sick and sent for COW doctor
He come and looked at her and said
that he reckoned that there WASH
much the matter with her, and told
Harm to watch her for a couple OF
days and he'd drop in again. Harm
watched her and found that she was
in terrible state next morning, but
after being turned out for a couple OF
hours she got kinder frisky and
pranced around in great shape; then
she went and laid down in the shade
of the barn and looked like she was
dead for hours.
He kept watching her. and when she
got up he followed her as she stag
gered over to the corner of the lot, and
then he saw the cause of the whole
business. The COW was on a spree
a regular old bat. Harms old woman
had been trying a scientific experiment
in keeping winter apples and 1t wasn't
a success. She had sorted out four
barrels of rotten apples and the oldest
boy had carried them out VI the cell
lar and dumped them over the fence
into the pasture lot. The COW found
them and went on four days drunk.
She'd eat until she was boozy and then
lay down
When she got up feeling rocky
she'd just go and get hair of the same
dog that bit her. Most anybody that
has ever had a dose of hard cider can
sympathize with that COW. When
Harm told me about 1t | said he'd bet
ter give her bromide for her nerves
He covered up the rotten apples, and
after a couple OF days OF distress the
COW came back to her milk.

Marvellous Mirage at Mt. Hope.

on Decoration Day, which showed In
the clouds, even to the most minute de-
tails, STRIP of the New York bank of
the Hudson river nearly twenty miles
long. The city Of Yonkers was so plain
ly depicted that even the largest and
principal residences were recognizable
Tugs and ferryboats were plying IN the
Hudson river and big chimneys were
pouring out smoke, apparently located
far above the earth. 1t seemed at times
as If the toot of the tub whistles could
be heard The most wonderful part Of
the spectacle was the arrival Of New
York Central train at Yonkers. This
express train appeared to break into
the mirage from the south, pillow it's wav

foundation, and then completely disan-
pear at the northern end Of the skv
panorama. The mirage lasted abont
thirty minutes and was seen by great
many people on the streets
