SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS.

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this is a mistake, for If the work is prop
erly done no shrinking will take place. and
the feecy soft appearance may be retained,
RS we'll the color, for years. Tho necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really the cause of the damage
done wooden goods in washing. 1t hardens
the fibre and yelows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kcts free of dust, fill tub half full Of hot
water. Dissolve third of cake of Ivory
soap in it. Put one blanket in Mt time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap OH blankets,
or wash them on the washboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free Of suds Add little blueing to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under a ;:eight for day or two,
and pack securely in bey and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well as wear. three
times as long as if put away soiled year

Sixty-Five Votes for Annexation.

WASHINGTON, June ls.--Senator
Kyle, who is one Of the most Jealous
of the senatorial advocates of annex
alton. says that canvass of the senate
indicates that there are fiftyfve votes
certain for annexation. The constitu.
ton requires Il two-thirds vote for the
ratification of treaties, making sixty
necessary to insure confirmation.
Senator Kyle says there are fully a
dozen senators who are doubtful, from
whom to draw the five votes necessary
to insure confirmation. In their cal.
culations, the friends of the treaty
count upon the solid support Of the
republican senators on account Of the
fact that it will be an administration
measure. They also expect to have
all the populists and arc hopeful Of
having all the silver republicans
except Pcttigrew. They also count
upon fair sprinkling of democrats,
but they expect to meet their principal
opposition in the democratic party in
the senate.

Easy Going Dutch Spelling.

Tn the good old days when the Dutch

tho affairs of New Amsterdam every

freedom of the clerks OF the burgo-

records now being translated by Mr..

inspector of tobacco, who has certified

request of Jan "Haeckins" on June 26,
and aforesaid "Hagins" kept the barrel
OF tobacco until the 30th without find
ing out that it was bad. Then Jan "Ha-
kins" has something else to say in the
case.
