The KneippIsts.

Early-rising New Workers who like
novel spectacles should go to Central
Park between six and eight in the morn
ing and see the disciples of Father
Kneipp curing their colds and headaches
and other ailments by walking barefoot
in the wet grass. On September 3 per-
mission was given to use the open lawns
bordering on the Ninety-seventh street
drive TO test the Kneipp cursin the early
morning for one week. The harpfooted
enthusiasts at once improved their
chance, and, unless the permission Is
withdrawn, are likely to have wet feet
every morning until frost comes. The
Kneipp cure has the merit OF being
harmless and cheap. 1t gives It's followers
q new sensation, and that is always
worth something. There is no vice in
it and some sport, and the desire to play
at it seems a suitable whim for tho park
commissioners to indulge.--HGTper's

the Chinese babies, as children in this
country deliQhtin rsttles. Chinese nurses
smuse their young charges with their
fans, which they, too, are never without.
The children learn 10 handle their fans
very expertly, for the fan in the hands
Of q Chinese has certain language OF
it's own. Rich and poor alike, every boy
and girl, must have a fan. A poor little
Chinese boy who has scarcely whole
garment. and who rarely gets 0 good
meal, will still have q fan, and use it con-
stantly. Not, Of course, that they are
expensive, for they can be had there
for next to nothing; the idea Of little
street gamin, such as are seen in America
caring to use a fan is what seems
curious.
Send your children into the open air
as much as possible. Open-air exercise
is one Of the most important conditions
for the preservation and obtaining OF
health, aud though exercise for the
young infant must be passive, for the
child who can run and play it should be
very active indeed.

The End Of Old Money.

The end Of these old bills that have
served their purpose so faithfully has a
certain amount Of pathOs. II one is
fortunate enough to be present when
committee Of three officers OF the Treas
ury send them to their destruction, a
curious, almost indescribable sensation
will creep over one. This destruction
takes place in room in the Treasury
building. There is q small table in the
centre of the room, and on this the
bundled bills are piled in reckless con-
fusion. Through two holes in the floor
at the end Of the table can be seen the
lsrge cylinders or macerRtors into which
the bills are placed. They are about the
size Of locomotive boilers. A large
funnel is inserted in one OF the holes,
and it connects with one Of the macera-
tors. The bills are then united and
thrown into the mouth Of this funnel IG
is amusing to see one Of the committee
take a stick when they become jammed
and prod them through. When the
last one is safety in, mixture Of lime
and sOda-ash is placed in the macerator,
a cover is olsmped over the Ventricle,
and each member OF the committee
fastens it with separate lock. Steam
is then turned on, and the cylinders are
set in motion. When the bills have
been thoroughly mscerRted the pulp is
drawn off and taken to spGper-maChine,
where it is made into sheets Of paper,
and afterwards sold.
Some one suggested the idea Of using
part of the pulp to make little fancy
images, The idea was adopted, aud
dainty little knick-knRcks made Of the
pulp can be bought in the stores in
Washington. The salesmen often induce
the possible purchaser to buy by telling
him that the image at one time repre-
sented large sum Of money.
To pick up one Of these images is to
give rise to thought, for here embodied in
a small compass is that which was once
part Of the greatest power in the world.

as the following report of an inspector
shows:
"At about midnight yesterday, August
q, 1888, while blowing a gale from the
southwest, in Charleston hGrbor, with a
heavy sea, q boat containing three men
and a boy was sWamped some distance
from the wharf at Castle Pinckney. The
boy, being good swimmer, struck out
for the beach, which he finally reached
in safety. Meanwhile one Of the men
clung TO the boat and the other two
managed to reach the piles Of the wharf,
where, owing to the heavy sea and strong
tide, they were barely able to sustain
themselves above water, and all were
crying Justify for help. Mrs. Mary
Whiteley, the sister.iu-lsw Of the keeper,
J. W. Whiteley, and Maud King, age 13,
the granddaughter of Henry Brown, the
master Of the lighthouse tender Wisteria,
having seen the accident, lowered the
boat belonging to the station, and at the
imminent risk Of their lives, proceeded
to render them assistance. When they
succeeded in reaching them the men
were so overcome that they were unable
to help themselves, but after great
exertion, attended by no little danger,
this young woman and young girl,
unsided, got them all into Their boat
and carried them safely ashore" 1t is
from the households Of such men as
Whiteley that the women who hold
positions as keepers are drawn. n.-NeaO

The Art Of Washing Flannel.

Our friends may not agree with me in
chasing laundry work among the arts,
but those who have sent their clothing
to q careless washerwoman,s and had their
flannels shrunken, and their Calicoes
and ginghams faded, must admit that
the knowledge Of the proper methods OF
doing such work is very desirable. It is
usually better to have it done at home,
and for the houspkeeper to Buperintend
the work, il she does not do it herself.
The writer does not wash on Monday
for various reasons. There is usually an
empty lsrder on that day, which must
be replenished. The Sunday clothing
must be brushed and hung up, and
other little tasks fill the time COM
pletely. The soilsd clothing is sorted
and mended Monday afternoon and
everything got in readiness to begin early
the next day.
Three or four bucketfuls OF soft water
is heated until it is as warm as you can
bear your hand in comfortably. into
this is poured little soap jelly, made
by shaving ivory soap in a saucepan Of
water and boiling a few minutes. A
star Of the hand makes a fine lRther
when enough OF this melted soap is put
in. In this suds place the white or light
oolored flannels, taking care that all the
garments are covered with water, place
the washbosrd on the top Of the tub
and cover with blanket or quilt folded
30 there are at least four thicknesses.
Let them soak an hour. At the end Of
that time, wash with as little rubbing
90 possible, rinse in water OF the same
temperature as that in which they were
washed, and hang in q shaded spot,
where q breeze will blow through them.
They will not shrink when washed by
this method, and will be beautifully
soft and clean.
This plan answers equally we'll for all
wooden garments, shawls, blankets, etc,
and the work is easy. When all the
dirt is not removed in the first water,
wash in another prepared in the same
way. Try it, ye housekeepers, who ere
tired OF having your iannels fulled up
and ruined by washing in the ordinary
way. E. j. G.
