IT Is NOT so DIFFICULT II YOU TAKE a FEW
PRECAUTIONS.
Probably the very new housewife
will find the blanket washing aud
wooden cleansing of spriagtime about
the most serious trial that she has
yet encountered. It may be that a
question of economy will make it nee
essary to have this work done at
home, and even the most trusted help
or the experienced washerwoman will
not always give this particular work
the proper care, unless the mistress
understands the best methods of ac-
complishing the dreaded task. II is
not so difficult, after all, to hava the
blankets washed in such manner
that they will come out white and
fluffy aud unshrunken from their
spring cleansing.
Take one-half bar of any good
laundry soap, shave it very fine.
Pour over it pint of boiling water,
and put upon the fire and stir until
it becomes thick paste. Into this
put one tablespoonful of borax and
two tablespoonfuls of ammonia.
Have ready tub of tepid water soft
ensd with a tablespoonful of borax.
Stir into this the soap mixture; then
put in the blankets or the woolen ar
ticles that are to be washed. Let
them soak an hour, occasionally turn
ing them over; then run through a
wringer. After this rinse with clear
tepid water, being careful never to
rub with the hands. Run through
the wringer into q second rinslng wa.
ter, and from this wiring out and
hang in the sun to dry. Blankets
washed in this way are as soft as
when new. FlauEels and all woolen
goods may also be washed by this
process without injury, and articles
that are to bo taken from the line and
carefully pressed before they become
perfectly dry.

ARlzoNA,s MOUNTAIN PUZZLE.


Il It . Hole Through an Inaccessible Peak
or Orly Natural Mirrorf
For the last half century the Ameri-
can residents Of Tucson, A. T., have
been trying to solve a mystery In the
shape Of what appears to be q hole
through a mountain peak in plain sight
from tho town. In tho rarefied air it
looks to bc only short distance away,
when in reality it is at least 40 miles.
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
in the way of finding cut just what it was
was the fact that it was inaccessible,
and when they came anywhere near the
spot the hole disappeared from sight
In fact, it can only be seen from within
few miles of Tucson. and this has led
many people to believe that it is not a
hole at all
By the aid Of q good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
a few miles, but not near enough to tell
the exact nature Of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be To-
cused ON it. as the mountain is too near.
A first peep through the glass would
lead one to believe that there was no
mystery about it. The hole appears as
plain as possible, but several days study
of the spot will develop the fact that
the hole does not always look tho
same. Many days when the sky is dark
behind the mountain the hole will ap-
pear n brilliant white. like snowdrift,
and on days when the sky is blue it will
often look SO dark as to be almost in
visible. These facts have led many to
think that it is an immense piece Of
mica lying with its polished surface to-
ward the sky and rejecting the cloud
s-of another part Of the hori-
zon instead Of being the light seen
through hole. Viewed with the naked
eye the hole simply appears as white
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details, although very indis-
tinctly.
Tho range of mountains in which the
strange peak can be seen is known rs
the Catalinas, and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed On account of the steep
aud rugged preeirices in the vicinity.
The peak is high one and can be seen
from any point in the journey toward
it, but when ten miles out of Tucson the
hole can no longer be seen, even with
the aid of glass. This can be explain
ed OH tie mica theory, as surface Of
that material would not reflect ray of
light toward q PERSONS eye after they
got out of its angle Of projection.-Sa

Great Calamity.

SOME scientist predicts a great cal
amity to take place four years hence.
He says the big planets that belong
to the solar system will all be in a
straight line with the sun at GER
tain time in the year 2000, and the
earth will be on the other side of the
sun from the planets, and that condi-
tion of planetary affairs will produce
flood and earthquake here on this
planet to such degree that a gener
al deluge is almost certain to take
place, in which most of the people of
this globe will be drowned, and all
the Improvements of men will be
swept away.

ance of the term Damon and Pythias
were not more fraternal than these two
desperadoes. When one was seen, the
other was always near. If one got into
trouble, the other was always on hand
to assist him.
The tragic end OF this friendship came
one summer morning. Prather had just
successfully "stood off, sheriff and
his posse. and the crowd Of roughs was
congregated in his saloon, congratulate
ing him, drinking to his health and
celebrating the occasion by filing them

ern vernacular as "4O rod, " preparatory
to terrorizing the town. Suddenly
Prather drew his revolver from the scab-
bard, and saying. Boys. watch me put
q hole through Billy's hat" fred.
There was yell Of agony. and Wells
fell to the floor wounded to the death.
MY God, have killed him?' We're
Prather's first words. Then, throwing
down his revolver, he sprang to the side
Of the wounded man, just as the last
quiver came over the prostrate form and
the soul went to render its account
For the first time in years solitary
tear coursed down over the hardened
features of the man whose hands were
newly stained with the blood of q fell
low creature, but, ashamed Of this mo-

brushed away the tear, and turning to
the bar called, Drinks for the crowd. :"

was stricken down by fever. On the day
the crisis was expected the doctor said
that his life hung on thread, but there
was still a chance of recovery if he
should fall into natural sleep which
remained unbroken for certain length
of time.

I had the joy Of seeing him pass into
slumber, which grew more natural as
sat, almost holding my breath, across

itself on the floor beside the bed The

head with its coldly glittering eyes.

itself around my ankle like a vice, but
