WASHINGTON, July 13.-An import
ant decision constituting the rights of
pension claimants in line of duty cases
has been rendered by Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Interior Webster Davis. The
issue is mado in the case of Henry Mil

dred and First Ohio infantry. After
being relieved from guard duty one day
Miller voluntarily assisted teamster
in watering mules, and, while so occu-
pied, was fired upon and in Iured. The
department heretofore has rejected such
cases as not in the line of duty.
Assistant Secretary Davis, however,
reverses the pension bureau action,
holds that the claimant was not dis.
obeying nor violating army regulations,
but was aiding comrade in protecting
government property; was doing some-
thing which he not only had right to
do, but was commendable and so was
acting in the line of duty. The adop.
tion of this policy will affect many
claims,

lively, except that the expenses Of pub
fishing the notice Of holding elections,

petuate the excellent custom now prev
alent in this state of selecting judges
without reference to politics, and to
eliminate partisan considerations, as
far as practicable, in the selection of
municipal off1cers)

Benzine I'm the N..b.

Family washing can be lnade much
easier if benzine is used in the water in
the following way: The wash is soaked
the night before washday as usual, d
half-cupful of benzine being added to
the water before the linen is placed in it.
The next morning, just before the wash
boiler is placed upon the range. another
haff-cupful is added tothat water. Very
little rubbing will then be required to
clean the linen thoroughly. Time and
soap are saved and the clothes will be
brilliantly white and soft. When ben
zine is used the breaking of the skin on
the hands. is. absolutely avoided. The
smell of the benzine disappears alto
gether in the wash boiler. Care should
be taken not to bring the. pure benzine
near the fire, as it is very infammable.

Anyone who is at all handy with tools

would be good occupation for the

quite as well as boys if they have proper
tools. In the industrial schools now
adays girls are taught the use of tools,

The framework should be made after
the general plan of the cabinet in the

WOMAN AND HOME.
NOTED AINooo WOMAN.
The Punditn Rhmabni, Daughter of n
Mnrnthi Priest.


The Woman's Christian Temperance
union of India has just held most sue
cessful convention in Poona. The en-
ergetic president, Mrs. Mary Il. Phillips,
of Calcutta, presided, and delegates
from IL different organizations of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
were present. Pundita Ramabai, of
Poona, addressed the convention on the
needs of her countrywomen, and re-
joiced the hearts of the white-ribboners
by saying at the close of her remarks
that, although she had hitherto re-
Trained from throwing herself fully
into the Woman's Christian Temper
anceunion work for want of time, she
was now resolved to take it up. She
was made national superintendent of
native work.
1t was decided to form stock COM
pany for the publication of the White
Ribbon, the official organ of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union for
Asia, and III shares were taken at the
convention. A special committee, APP
pointed to consider the establishment
of an inebriates' home, recommended
tIdb uDt government uc lllelnOTldllItu,
asking for legal power to restrain in
ebriates in home, provided the fnebri-
ate has pledged himself to submit 10
the restraint. The report of the COM
mittee to consider the organization of a
society for the prevention of cruelty TO
children was a feature of the conven-
ton, and department for this work in
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union was created. The next conven-
tion will meet in Allahabad.
Pundita Ramabai is recognized in her
own country as the greatest Hindoo
woman that has lived. She is the daugh
ter of Marathi priest and can trace her
Brahmin ancestry a thousand years.
Her father, having resolved, in defiance
of the laws of custom and convention
ality, to educate his wife, retired to a
forest home to carry out his ideas with
out molestation. There, in 1858, Ram
abai was born, and there, in entire Sc
clusion, was educated by her parents.
Orphaned before she was 16, she trav-
eled several years with her brother,
noble young man who sympathized
with her in her determination to de-
vote herself to the elevation of her
countrywomen. The degree of Saras-
vati was conferred upon her by the Uni

TO Wash SIX Underxvenr

Great care should be taken when
washing silk underwear. Soap never
should be rubbed directly upon the
garment. Strong soap suds made OF
warm water and white soap will be
found best. Squeeze the garment in
this water, and then, if the garment ia
very much soiled, pass it through an
other warm suds and then rinse in very
water. Press between the
hands to get out the water. Shake
well, and pull into shape, and when
the garment is nearly dry press it on
the wrong side with a moderately hot
iron.
