WASHING BLANKETS
The Only Hard Work Is to Get Them on
tho Line Properly.


the Line Properly.
A sunny, windy day should be select
ed, and only one pair washed in one
day. First put the blankets on the line
and shake the dust out of them. Cut
one pound of good soap in small pieces
and boil in two quarts of water till dis
solved. Add half pound of powdered
borax FIJI tub about half full of
water and add the soap and borax. Be
sure to have the temperature of the
water the same as that of the outside
air. This is not difficult matter, as
water is usually a little colder than the
air in spring and summer, and only then
should blankets be washed. Press the
blankets down into the water and avoid
rubbing; then let the soap and borax
do the work-they certainly will Let
the blankets soak for two hours and
rinse them thoroughly in several waters
until the rinsing water looks clean,
taking care to having the rinsing water
the same temperature as the first water
and the outside air.
Then, without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. Do not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them ex-
actly even, then the color of the stripes
Will not run lhtO Inc Wn1be. Although
dripping wet, on a clear day they will
dry in four or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The water, not the
washing, will show to a certain extent,
although they will look more like new
ones than they did before washing.
Take in when perfectly dry. They
should not be ironed nor pressed. They
will be clean and will smell sweet. The
only hard work is to get the blankets
on the line properly, and if some one will
'lend hand" even this is not very la
borious.-Good Housekeeping.

IN SECRET CONCLAVE.
Members of the City Council Discuss Dam
age Suits and Bicycles.


There was meeting of the conncil-
men last night 1t was a secret meeting
and the general public is not supposed to
know anything about it.
The real purpose of the meeting was
to discuss the numerous damage suits
which are harassing the life out of the
council aud city attorney, as we'll as
proving very costly for the city. The
question of securing evidence was dis
cussed and the resolution made to fight
the suits and prevent judgments if posi-
BILE.
The lawful" bicycle ordinance was al
80 discussed. Councilman Skinner was
in favor of changing the speed regula-
ton to ten miles an hour, but a majority
were in favor of allowing the wheeImen
to wait awhile.
Councilman Burgess thinks that the
5icyclists started in to bulldoze the
council into enacting a new ordinance
and he says that he is not in favor of be-
ing bulldozed. 1t is likely that nothing
at all will be done with the new ordi-
nance at present
A communication was read from the
mayor of ST. Joseph inviting the mayor
and council to attend a meeting of repre-
sentatives of cities within 300 miles of
St Joe, in that city from July 2 to 6. 1t
was decided to accept the invitation, and
Topeka will be represented at the meet
ing, though probably not by a full cOun-
Gil.
The waterworks suit was not discussed.

A Mistake some mothers Make.

It is a common excuse with over
indulgent mothers for emitting to cor
rect even glazing improprieties of feel
ing or of conduct that the child is ''too
young to listen to reason" and that it
will be time enough to check such alb
CREATIONS afterward. This is a great
mistake. In infancy we are governed
not by reason, but by the well-directed
affection and kindness of our guardi-
ans; and to wait till the development
of child's understanding before we
commence its moral training is to wait
till years of unregulated indulgence
shall have strengthened its more self
ish and powerful appetites and pas
sions-to wait, in short, till the weed
has ripened and shed its seed, before
attempting to extirpate it from the
soil.-Dr. Combe

BICYCLE.

waxed excited over this last topic
Finally one of them said she had
costume in process of construction that
met all objections. She said:
1.-The costume is a one-piece garment,
and makes a splendid walking skirt.
There are a pair of elastic cords ar
ranged skillfully at the side, and when
a body wants to mount all she has to
do is to pull at these nice little cords,
and behold, the skirt rises in graceful
folds on each side, leaving the limbs in
the trousers unimpeded while on the
wheel. And the costume isn't immod-
est bit. It really is pretty. You can
wear any kind of waist with it that
you wish. bought a skirt, and I'm
going to wear my Norfolk jacket with
it. The skirt is light as can be, and is
made so that it has a sheer effect in
front, and when it is drawn up and
back there is but little cloth to blow
about. And I'll tell you further, dear
ladies, that I'm going to wear my
'zelkri' on every racing day this season.
No more muddy skirts and draggled
CATERS for me. And the best of it all
is that it doesn't appear bit like dress
reform, and you can thus have all the
gain of comfort without the fame
which you ladies and your husbands
seem to find so stringently ojectiona-

How to FumiEate = Room.

To fumigate a room with sulphur, use
two pounds of rock sulphur with one
pound of flowers of sulphur to every
1000 cubic feet. Put the sulphur in
tin dish, set in pan Of wet ashes or
pan containing brick, to prevent any
danger of fire. Put the rock sulphur at
the bottom, the flowers of sulphur on
top, and pour two tablespoonfuls of al
cohol over them just before you apply
the match. Leave the room instantly.
Every door, window, crack and crevice
in the room must be closed. It may
discolor the paper. That depends on
the color. All the metal work must be
removed N. Y. Tribune.

How much harm is being done with

J. T. FULTON SUNSTRUCK.

The Topeka Councilman Overcome With
Heat But is Getting Better Now.
Councilman J. T. Fulton of the Fifth
ward is quite sick at his home as the re-
suit of a sunstroke received Tuesday
afternoon. 1t is thought that he will re-
cover though he is still unable to leave
his bed.
Councilman Fulton drove down in the
city in the afternoon. He had no top on
his wagon and the sun was very hot.
After attending some business he drove
to the state house at 2 o'clock to
see his son, who is clerk in the
Office of the board of railroad
commissioners. On the way to
the state house he began to feel
strange and concluded that he was being
taken sick. He continued to feel worse
and when he drove under the south steps
of the state house the councilman fell
backward into his wagon in a faint
For two hours the helpless man
lay in his wagon ana then a stranger
who went out of the basement
of the state house found him.
His son was called and the coun-
Gilman was taken home, but his condi-
ton was considered very serious. The
following day he was better, and now he
is thought to be out of danger.
The south wing of the state house is
used very little as an entrance or exit,
and that is why the sick man was not
found sooner.

The Fine Steamer Northwest Narrowly
Escapes = FrightfuI Collision.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, June 21.-The
captain of the steamer Saginaw Valley
reports that his vessels had a close call
for colliding with the palatial steamer
Northwest on Lake Superior on the up
trip,
The Saginaw Valley had fifty tons of
giant powder slowed forward and
had the bows collided an ex-
plosion would surely have occurred
The weather was thick and both
vessels were observing the rule which
required whistling at short intervals in
foggy weather.
The vessels were in dangerous prox-
unity when they discovered each other.
The wheels of both were instantly pnt
hard apart, and the great Northwest
slipped past the Saginaw so close that
one might have jumped from her deck
to that of the other.

Advantage of q Fun Length Mirror.

Every house should contain at least
one mirror of sufficient length to en-
able one to see oneself within it at full
length. No woman ever knows quite
what an appearance she makes until
she thus sees herself, and there are
many little defects of dress only to be
remedied by such observation. Many
gowns would hang very differently, or
be of different lengths and sometimes,
too, very much better boots would be
donned, if the gift" were thus given
