TAB ON THE LAUNDRESS.
A German Chemists Plan of Detecting n
Use of Injurious Acids.

German Chemists Plan OF Detecting tho
Use of Injurious Acids.
Every housekeeper knows the diff
culty of preventing the laundrcss at
home or elsewhere from saving labor
at the expense of fabrics washed by
the use of injurious chemicals 1t is
sometimes difficult to determine
whether such chemicals are usel, but
q German chemist named Schutzen-
berger has furnished method of de-
secting the laundress in these tricks.
The plan is to include in the weeks
washing some old garment that is
pretty well soiled and likely to
be rent in the process of cleans
ing it. When the garment
comes home soak it in solution of
mcthylene blue. If the color resulting
from this treatment becomes more in
tense about the holes than elsewhere,
then the laundress has been reckless
in the use of javelle water II this
test gives no result, treat the same or
some other torn garment with the col
oring matter called brazlin, sprinkling
1t upon the fabric. II the cosy hue
that comes of the treatment verges
upon yellow about the holes, the laun-
dress is convicted of having used some
deleterious acid, probably ovalic. If
comparatively new garment has suf-
fered rents in the washing, these tests
are all the more convincing. IN. Y.

poker by roping in the usual country
jay. After an hours play they had
feeced their victim to the tune of $40
He was good-natured and did not growl
and so the game was continued.
THE scoundrels showed no mercy.
They did not let the victim win even a
few dollars to encourage him, but

Forty dollars had swelled to fifty
dollars and at the last pot the country
jay was sixty-five dollars loser

leader of the gang, rising with smile
and his winnings.
"The jay looked angry and quietly

OWNEY, THE POST OFFICE DOG.
He Was An Unclaimed Package Until the
Albany Postal IerkR Adonted Him


Albany Postal clerks Adopted Him.
Owney's pedigree is not worth brag-
ging about; he is mainly what is known
as a mongrcl, but he has signs of some
purer blood. Neither is he handsome
dog, but he has excellent qualities, and
is kindly and intelligent.
When Owney found himself an I'M
called-for package, he did not begin to
whine or bark or fear he was unwel-
come but sought to make himself
agreeable, and to win friends. Find.
ing that Uncle Sam was willing to
keep him in comfortable quarters,
owney gladly accepted the situation.
And now, no matter how far away he
may travel, he is known as "Owney,
the Albany Post Office Dog" and is
everywhere considered as popular
member of the department
"How do you know when Owney has
gone on trip?' ] asked the man who
especially looks after Owney's inter-
ests
"Why, when the cat comes in the Of
fee we know that Owney is away" he
replied. And the dog is away from
home so much that the cat is seldom
obliged to move out"
Tell me how he begins journey.
Does he know which is the postal carp"
know? Of course he docs. He
knows postal car as we'll as any pos
tai clerk. When the mail is sent to
the station, Owney jumps on the wa
gon, and stays there until the last bag
is thrown into the car. If he feels like
taking journey, he then jumps
aboard the car, barks good by. and
away he goes Once on the train he is
the guest of the clerks at the offices
along the road"
He wears a fine silver colla-, marked
''Owney, Albany p. o., Albany, N. Y"
and with him is often forwarded

places he visits; and very interesting
story the book tells. Helen E. Greig,

genooine friend is mighty skeerce

times friend ull help man through

the world wudn't be no use"
"Thet's so; thet's So" said Uncle
Jerry, as he rocked slowly back and
forth on the vine-covered porch. EFF
you want to know what reel friendship
is, you want to watch the dumb cree
turs. 1t seems ez though the very fact
that they can't speak out their feelins
makes 'em show 'em In their actions
palmer than folks ever can"
We all quoted down and curled our
bare legs under us, for the old man
spoke in that measured, reminiscent
tone we had learned to recognize as
the precursor of story. 1t should be
known that Uncle Jerry and the Viii
lage Philosopher were the chief be-
guilers of the waking hours of all the
boys in our quiet, western New York
village. The formers stories were
more interesting than those of the most
absorbing book, and the latter's moral
izing was of the eminently practical
kind which appeals even to the boyish
intellect
When the eager listeners were all in
the circle about the two old men and
had relapsed into complete silence,
Uncle Jerry resumed.
"Love and friendship are sut'nly
GURUS things. Et seems ez though the
more unlike two folks, er two creeturs,
is, the more they think of each other.
You all know how affectionit horse
CT dog can be, even to the ugliest
mates er the meanest masters. Well,
it's jest the same among the wild ami
mails. I've seen old bear lose her life

through all kinds NV hard luck till

Now some folks say that dogs an

tibet they amt gener'ly much love lost

Lake Superior is an Exceedingly Treacher.
oua Hodv NJ W~tnr

Gus Body of Water.
The recent accident to the steamer
Missoula tends to show moro clearly
than anything that occurred the vast
area OF Lake Superior, and the posi-
bility OF 4 vessels crew reaching land
after shipwreck and yet being unheard
of for couple of weeks after starting
on voyage. The shores of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota on the
big lake are travcrsed by railways
and telegraph lines, and the towns and
small settlements on the American
side of the lake, even to the islands,
furnish ready means of communicate ton
with the larger cities; but not so on
that part of the Canadian shore north
OF the lakes, where wilderness in
habited by few fishermen and In.
dams exists, This is especially true OF
the Canadian shore just north of Sault
Ste Marie, and for long stretch of
country to the north and east of the
point where the Canadian Pacific rail-
way turns in to the shore of the lake
and traverses it on toward Port Arthur
and Fort William.
When the Missoula broke her shaft
and was rendered helpless she was less
than 95 miles from Caribou island on
the course down toward Sault Ste.
Marie She was somewhat off the reg
ular course of vessels bound down
from the head of Lake Superior, but II
she had been able to make any head
way toward the Sault, or care for her.
self at all on the course she was fol-
lowing, she would have been picked
up very soon after the accident by
some passing vessel. But southerly
wind drifted her out of the course Of
even the few vessels trading to Canad.
ian ports at the head of the lakes, and
she was working over toward the wild.
est part of the Canadian north shore
territory when her crew was compelled
to abandon her.
A glance at>the chart will show that
Brule point, where the crew of the
Missoula first made land, is scarcely
more than seventy-fve miles from
Sault Ste. Marie, where $4,000 900 tons
OF freight passes through canal in a
single season, and yet the men in one of
the Missoula's yawl boats spent nearly
two days working along the shore of
the lake before they found any more
signs of life than a deserted fisher
mans shanty, in which they built
fire and dried their wet clothing. The
fishing season has closed, but even
fishermen were scarce in this territory
during the most active periods. 1t is
not strange, therefore, that the men
from the Missoula were nearly full
week in finding means of communicate
ing with the owners of the vessel after
they had landed on the dreary north
shore OF Lake Superior. Detroit Free
