HOW TO CLEAN SILK.
A Process Which WIN Prove Successful
in Most Cases.


The cleaning of silk is much more
difficult thing than the cleaning of
wool. There are few cloths of pure
wool which cannot be washed with
white soap and water. The process of
cleaning the cloth with soap bark is
much more thorough than any ordi-
nary washing with soap and water can
he. Silk of ordinary weaves cannot be
washed successfully without losing lus-
ter and changing color. The dyes of
silk are not made so as to be color
proof, as cotton goods usually are.
There is no special effort on the part of
silk colorists to do anything but pre-
pare goods that will not fade in the
light and under the ordinary circum-
stances to which silk is subjected.
There are some delicate colors that will
not stand cleaning. The majority of
silks may be cleaned by the process
given, otherwise they may be consid-
cred beyond cleaning. Lay the pieces
of silk on a pad made of linen. The
fold of a white linen sheet will do very
well. Stretch the silk on the pad, and
If it is greasy remove the grease spots
with piece of cotton dipped in re-
fined gasoline or benzine, the name
under which gasoline is often sold by
druggists. Clean the silk in this way
ON both sides. Do not wet it, but
moisten the cleaning pad of cotton
often with the liquid. After the proc
ess take a fresh pad of linen and lay
the silk over it and sponge it well with
mixture of half rain water and half
alcohol. Rinse this off with clear rain
water, drying it carefully with linen
so as to absorb all the moisture you
can. Turn the silk ON the wrong side,
lay cloth over it and press it very
carefully. If it is very delicate silk
it can sometimes be dried on the board
without APPLYING heat.-N Y. Tribune.

Parental DISCIPLINE.
Seven Maxims Which Every Parent should
Learn by Heart.

As long as human nature exists in its
present imperfect condition, so long
will the question OF. the discipline of
children remain of the greatest impor-
tancc IN every home, for on the disci-
pline Of children in the home depends,
TO very great extent, the future vel
fare not only of individuals, but of the
nations and the race. For the object
of parental discipline is not to secure
obedience to this or that rule which it
suits the temporal convenience to make,
nor even TO secure good conduct in
the child, so much as to develop the
character of the young life intrusted to
our care.
DIR. Mary Wood Allen, in a recent arti-
Gle on punishment quotes Nora Smiths
seven maxims, which we think every
parent should learn by heart. They
are:
l. The discipline should be thorough
~ in harmony with child-nature in
general and suited to the age and devel-
opment of the particular child in ques-
ton.
?. II should appeal to the higher mo-
tives, and to the highev motives alone.
3. 1t should develop kindness, help
fitness and sympathy
4. 1t should never use weapons which
would tend to lower the child's self
respect.
5. 1t should be thoroughly just and
the punishment should be commensu-
rate with the child's first offense.
6. 1t should teach respect for law and
the rights of others.
z. Finally, it should teach voluntary
obedience, as the object of true dis
cipline in the formation of character:
it should produce human being mas
ter of his impulses, his passions and his
will.-Womankind.

FOR FAuLTFINpERs.
Duplication of Their Own Traits Excites
Their Antagonism.

Many people have a genius for seeing
the faults of others, but there is one
popularity about this faculty which
will be an interesting study for the
psychologist; it is the tendency to crit
icise most sharply those faults in
others which are most prominent in
ourselves. In other words, that which
excites our greatest antagonism is the
duplication of our own traits. 1t would
be amusing, if it were not disturbing
and pathetic, TO hear people criticise
mercilessly traits in others which
every body recognizes as being the spe-
cial possession of the critics them
selves. 1t is pathetic because it shows
how little we know about ourselves,
and it is disturbing because it sug-
gests to the listener that he may be
doing precisely the same thing. In all
probability he is. So little do we know
ourselves, as a rule, that when we see
parts of ourselves in others we detest
them. If we recognized them as being
in sense our own possessions, we
might not like them any better, but
we should surely sympathize with their
possessors. If there is any common
experience which ought to draw us to-
gether, it is identify of struggle and
temptation. We ought to stand shout
der TO shoulder with those who are
fighting the same fight which we are
fighting, and who find in themselves
the same tendencies to evil or to weak
ness; and yet these are the very peo-
pie from whom, as a rule, we withdraw
ourselves most entirely, and upon
whose shoulders the lash of our criti-
cism falls most mercilessly. Home

Onions for the Complexion.

Prof. Shnsof says that onions make
nerve tonic not to be despised. They
tone up the worn-out system, and If
eaten freely win show good results in
cases of nervous prostration. If sprig
of parsley is dipped in vinegar and
eaten after an onion no unpleasant odor
from The breath can be detected. And
in addition to this valuable and i'm
pc ant bit of information, onions
saten freely viii also, he says, beautify
the complexion.

Lace Must BE Handled Carefully to Se-

1t always pays to have frame of
light wooden strips to dry curtains on.
1t should be the exact size Of the
curtains, so that they may be stretched
on it when wet and dried in this way.
Tack strip of strong cloth on all sides
of the frame, and pin the curtains even
ly to this strip at the bottom, top and
sides. Or, if you prefer, they may be
basted to it, though this is more
trouble. Almost any variety of curtain
can be washed by the method given.
Expensive Brussels curtains had better

who understands how to handle real

Before touching the curtains make a
strong soapsuds of hot water in which
tablespoonful of borax has been dis
solved for every gallon of water, and
half bar of soap shaved and melted
for every tubful of water. Put the
curtains in this water. Souse the up

three rinsing waters. If they are white

are not dead because those principles have

democratic, but controlled by nndemocratic
influences. Those are true democrats who re-
