THE HOME
Sea Moss.

If possible carry home something to re-
call the vacation of 1895 If you are at
the seashore this is entirely practicable.
There are the curious star fish found
clinging to rocks at low tide; these may
be left in the sun to dry and bleach.
When perfect the star fish has five arms
if there are but four a bigger fish has
bitten one off and the place has healed.
Then the pretty sand dollars are hidden
along the beach and often escape notice.
The sea urchin is another treasure that
sharp eyes may discover and horse shoe
crabs, from the baby to the old hard
she'll, are always interesting. If the little
inhabitants are alive it is better to leave
the shells out doors lest they be offensive,
but in few days they will be ready to
put in the collection. When on the look
out for shells or sea moses examine the
little pools and under the edges of the
rock.
The prettiest souvenirs of the beach are
pressed sea moses; either very high or
low tide is the best for finding treasures,
and the experienced eye will learn to de-

teot the most beautiful moses in what
seems to be but bit of slime After
storm some rare moses may be secured
that would not be found at ordinary low
tide.
The late summer is considered the best
time for gathering MOSES for preserya-
tion, yet the time makes but slight
difference! To be successful in securing
and mounting specimens take small tin
pail with you and partially fill it with
sea water; the beauty of specimen is
injured if it is allowed to dry at all be.
fore it is mounted upon the card. AS
the MOSES are gathered drop them into
the tin pail of water, and be sure to put
them in carefully, not stirring them up
in tangle. Do not take too large pieces
as very little wet moss makes great
show when spread out upon the card.
After having collected a variety, take
them home and put each spray in clear
water, rinsing it carefully back and
fo TIL This will disclose something of
its beauty. Cut off a tiny bit and float it
in shallow plate of water; have ready
and slipping card under the moss,
spread the tiny branches out with
needle or hat pin. Raise the card slant
ingly from the water, being very careful
not to displace the fbres of the moss. If
the work is done quickly the card will
not be saturatedE water, and will
dry rapidly without va'ping out of
shape. When nearly dry put between
small weights with tissue or blotting
paper between. Look at the cards every
day, and if needed change the papers.
Some of the coarser MOSES are glutinous,
and these must be put under heavier
weights, and will require a much longer
time for drying; they will repay the
trouble, as the coloring is SO varied.
Having secured a good collection the
cards may be made into booklets by tax
ing one card of each specimen and punch
ing two or three holes, according to the
size of the card one in each edge; tie a
narrow sea green ribbon through. On
the first cover card arrange the wo~d
Moses, F" or Sea Dreams, ~ or any title
that suggests itself.
Fine Laundering.
Challies can be beautifully washed in
rice water. Boil half pound of rice in
rather more than two quarts of water;
let the water become tepid and then wash
the fabric in it, rubbing it with the rice,
as if it were soap; rinse two or three
times in rice water, from which, how
ever. the rice has been strained and use
the last rinsing water well diluted, so
that the material may not become too
stiff. Iron while slightly damp.
Silk stockings should be washed and
rinsed in lukewarin water and wrung be-
tween towels Woolen and silk under
wear should be washed in warm soap
suds, to which little ammonia has been
added. The silk garments may soak for
quarter of an hour in this preparation
before being rubbed between the fingers.
Rinse twice through tepid clear water,
and hang to dry with great care, pulling
out all wrinkles. Iron under cloth be-
fore quite dry.-N. E. Farmer.

Names of the Company Who Served In the
Massachusetts Bay Forces Under Capt.
Lane-A Duel.
Capt. Daniel Lane, of Buxton, Me-, /,
formerly of Biddeford, was a member OF
one of the most notable military taml-
lies in the early history OF our State
When their country has needed their SER
vices this family has furnished men COM
petent to take important commands,
which they have done with honor to
themselves and their posterity. Some
descendant in gratitude for the noble
heritage left by such ancestors, should
collect the abundant material into a
family history for the use of those who
may come after us, that they may know
the price of our country in suffering and
treasure, so that they will be willing to
defend it against its enemies with as
much credit to themselves as their fore
fathers did in ancient times. Capt.
Daniel Lane was born at Broad Bay, :"
now Marlborough, Me-, May II, 1740,
and was the son of Capt. John and Mary
(Nowell) Lane, who lived at York, and
what is now Marlborough. His father
was born at Hampton, N. H., March 1st,
1902 had three wives, and is said to have
had twenty-five children. He is said to
have been at Norridgewock with Capts.
Harmon and Moulton; was recommended
by Sir William Pepperell for a captains
commission in 1743, and was commits
stoned by Gov. Shirley. In the winter
of 1744-5 his father commanded a COM
pany out after the st. John Indians;
served in 1745 as captain in the Louis
burg Expedition under Sir William Pep
perrell and was the first man wounded in
the seige; was carried to Boston sick and
did not recover until the spring of 1746,
when he was appointed captain of a COM
pany. While posting some of his men
between Falmouth and Brunswick he
contracted cold, and had a relapse of
and Feb /, 174S, said he was just able to
be up and March 21, 1749, said he was
''just worn out The General Court at
different times, in consideration of his
services voted him money to receive him
in his distress Among his other misfor-
tunes he had his house burned by the In
dians. He at one time was in command
at Fort Halifax, on the Kennebec river,
and was captain of company in Col.
Joseph Dwight's regiment at Crown
Point, where he died July II, 1856, aged
50 years. His son John, then 90, succeed
ed m as captain.
Capt. Daniel Lanes grandparents
were Capt. John, born in Limerick, Ire
