LIGHT LAUNDERING.
How Doilies, Scarfs, and Tea Cloths Should
Be Got Up.

How Doilies, scarfs. and Tea Cloths Should
Be Got Up.
The laundering of the many doilies,
bureau scarfs, and small draperies
now SO plentiful in the modern house
is really quite an item. A rumpled
centerpiece detracts from the beauty
of the dainty lamp upon it, and thus
the housewife finds another care added
to the already full list of duties
Sometimes it is necessary to do this
laundering ones self, and at all times
it is wise to direct it carefully.
Plain white toilet .cloths should be
washed in hot suds, and if badly
soiled and yellowed, should be boiled
for two minutes. Then the cloths
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 stiffened by Dip
ping 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 fiat
iron clean, press ont the ruff1es or lace
edges first.
Linen and denim. whether embroid-
cred in white or colors, do not need
any starch. They should be ironed
when damp, and then will be sufficient
IL stiff. Wash them in lukewarm suds,
rinse carefully, and hang them where
they will dry quickly, but not where
the sun will pour down on them. Do
not use hot water, especially when col
ored silks or linens have been used, and
hasten the laundering as much as pos
sible. Iron embroidered cloths on the
wrong side till perfectly dry.
Ribbons used to ornament various
| pieces Of fancy work often need wash
| ing. Wash them in the same way as
embroidered cloths, and protect them
from the iron with clean brown paper
or 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.-N. Y. Times.

ORCHARD NOTES.

NOTHING is lost and much gained by
preparing soil for trees as thoroughly
as for corn. Plow and cross-plow, har-
row and harrow and harrow again.
For blowing and working among
fruit trees use short swingle tree,
about sixteen inches, and cover it with
old fertilizer bags; also cover the traces,
SO you may fearlessly work close up to
the tree.
''CHALK the north side of young trees
before they are dug for transplanting,"
says an old authority. ''Set the north
side north again every time and fewer
trees viii die" Be sure to cut back
closely and never permit drying.
ALL the hardy kinds Of fruit might
certainly be grown at home if the right
kinds were planted in the right way.
American apples inferior to our best
cooking varieties have taken possession
of the country, as it were; certainly
they can be seen now in every country

time" in New England is materially
worse than the same period in other
localities; in fact, think it preferable
to the same reign of terror in some
other places, for we really can touch
bottom at some depth here in New Eng
land, which does not appear to be the
case in all parts of the country when
the frost is coming out of the ground.
In support Of this. I recall the story
that has been told of the traveller along
