HINTsFoR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house,
keepers generally In having washing
done ut home causes many who can III
afford the expense to send their clothes
to Iaundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while II proper attention is given the
work II may be done quite rs satisfac-
torlly in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immerse the white articles in
hot water ard wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After oil are taken through
the suds, put in tub, pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool, wash out In clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring,
starch and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
in the same way, without scalding.
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line, sprinkled, folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket. The
ironing must be done with hot, clean
irons, and the clothes hung up to air.

Told of Tourists In Spain.

It might be supposed that English
speaking people would not venture to
travel in a foreign country without
some knowledge of its language, but
Americans do 60 every year. A lady
relates that she was one OF q
party Of Americans that visited Mad
rid, Spain. She was the only one Of
the number who knew any Spanish,
and her stock was confined to "yes'
and mo" and 'leche"-milk. BY
means Of gestures they managed to
get along the first afternoon and night
The next morning ut breakfast there
was coffee, but no milk, and the party
appealed to the lady to get some. To
her dismay, she forgot the word for
milk, and, after striving in vain to re-
call it, she seized piece Of paper and
pencil and drew the picture OF cow.
The waiter examined the drawing
critically, went out aud returned
promptly with package Of tickets for
