TO REMOVE STAINS.

In the Pratt Institutes "waitress
course" the following directions were
given for removing stains from linen:
For fresh tea and coffee stains, use
boiling water. Place the linen stained
over large bowl and pour through II
boiling water from the teakettle, held at
height to insure force.
Old tea and coffee stains which have
become "set" should be soaked In cold
water first, then boiling.
For chocolate stains, use cold water
first, then boiling water from the teaket-
tie.
Fruit stains will usually yield to boil
ing water; but II not, oxslic acid may
be used, allowing three ounces Of the
crystal to one pint of water. Wet the
stain with the solution, place over ket-
tie Of hot water In the steam or In the
sunshine. The instant the stain disap-
pears rinse we'll; wet the stain with am
monia to counteract the acid remaining.
Then rinse thoroughly again. This will
many times save the linen, which is apt
to be injured by the oxalic acid. Javele
water Is excellent for almost any white
goods. II can be made at home or
bought at any druggists. For wine
stains sprinkle well with salt, moisten
with boiling water, then pour boiling
water through until the stain disappears.
For blood stains use cold water first,
then soap and water. Hot water sets the
stain.
For scorch, hang or spread the arti-
Gle In the sunshine.
ssSfn. ~~.l f~n
or II obstinate, dissolve one tablespoon
full Of chloride OF lime in four quarts
cold water, and soak the article until
mildew disappears. Rinse very thor
oughly TO avoid any chemical action
upon the linen.
For peach stains, weak solution Of
chloride of lime combined with Infinite
patience. Long soaking Is 40 essential.
Grass stains may be removed by cream
tartar and water.

BEAUTY SHOULD BE LASTING.
The physical beauty Of women should
last, growing more and more mellow,
until the end, says writer 10 the Phil
adelphiA Times. That the beauty Of
women, like that OF men, should be de-
termined from the standpoint Of advanc-
ing maturity cannot be disputed. 1t is
absurd to claim that the ripe rich beauty
Of 40 10 less attractive than the bud
ding lmmaturity Of sweet l6. When
women live In harmony with natures
laws each stage Of life has lie own
charm. The fullness Of beauty does
not reach its zenith under the age Of 80
and 40. Helen Of Troy comes upon the
stage at the age Of 40. AspasiA was 30
when married to Pericles, and she was Z
brilliant figure thirty years thereafter.
Cleopatra was past 80 years when she
met Antony. Diane de Polctiers was 80
when she WOE the heart Of Henry IL
The King Was half her age, but his de-
votion never changed. Anne Of Austris
was IS when described rs the most beau
tiful woman 10 Europe. Madame d.
Maintenon was 43 when united to Louis
and Cstharine Of Russia was SO wher
she seized the throne she occupied To-
So years.
Mile. Mar was most beautiful at 45
and Nine. Recamier between the ages o
IS and IS. The most lasting and intens
passion Is not inspired by two decad
beauties. The old saw about sweet 16 !
exploded by the truer knowledge tina
the highest beauty does not dwell In I'm
maturity. For beauty does not meal
alone the fashion Of form and coloriuI
found In the wsxen doll. The dew O
youth and complexion Of roses are ad
mirsble for that period, but woman
best and richest years are from 80 to 4
woman to regard herself as passe at an
age, II she grows old gracefully.

TEARING THROUGH SPACE

have seldom felt Z moro delicious
sense Of reposc than when, crossing the
ocean during the summer months, ]
sought place where I could lie alone
on the deck, look up At the constella-
lions, with Lyric near the zenith, and
while listening TO the clsnk OF the en-
CINE try 70 calculate the hundreds Of
millions Of years which would be re
quired by our ship to reach the star
Alpha Lyrae II she could continue her
course 10 that direction without ever
stopping.
It ID striking example Of how easily
we may fall to realize our knowledge
when say that have thought many
time how deliciously one might pass
those hundred millions Of years 10
Journey to the star Alpha Lyra without
its occurring to me that we are actually
making that very journey at speed
compared with which the motion OF
steamship Is slow indeed.
Through every year, every hour, every
minute OF human history, from the first
appearance Of man on the earth, from
the era Of the builders Of the Pyramid,
through the times Of Cesar and Hsnni-
bal, through the period OF every event
that history records, not merely on earth,
but the sun and the whole solar system

toward the star Of which | speak on
journey Of which We know neither the
beginning nor the end.
During every clockbest through which
humanity has existed 1t has moved or
this journey by an amount which VI
cannot specify more exactly than to Say
that 1t !, probably between five and nin'
miles per second.
| We are at this moment thousands o.
miles nearer to Alpha Lyre than w
were few minutes ago when l begai
this discourse, and through every futur'
moment, for untold thousands OF year
to come, the earth and all there Is on
will be nearer to Alpha Lyre than W
were few minutes ago when ! begal
this discourse, and through every futur

will be nearer to Alpha LyrI, or neare

To attain TO the stars was the seen
ingly vain wish Of the philosopher, bu

FUN WITH THE CAMERA MAN.
ONE WHO KNEW SOMETHING OF CHEM
IsTRY FAILED TO GIT A SATISFACTORY,
PHOTOGRAPH.

A professional photographer tells n
tale Of a practical joke.
One day n young man came to sit Tor
his likeness. To the ordinary eye he
looked just like any other young man.
A couple of plates were exposed, and
then the assistant, who was operating,
went into the dark room TO develop the
negatives.
He was gone much longer than usual,
and was heard bersting the junior as
sistant pretty soundly for play wing pranks
with the apparatus. When he returned
TO the studio he asked for another sit
ting, and apologized for having before
used spoiled plates.
This time when he went away to de.
velop he was heard 10 utter slight
scream, bnt he reappeared and said there
WAS peculiar Effect In the negatives
which he couldn't account for, and would
the sitter oblige him again.
Once more he went TO develop; then
the bell rang violently for the master,
and the two held long confaoulation
10 the dark room together. Thi; time
the master tried his hand, and went
away to develop. IL was not long before
ne returned and said he was sorry not Ia
be able to get 4 satisfactory likeness,
but skull and crossbones appeared de-
fined on the young mans forehead.
Rubbish said the sitter; "my
forehead Is all right. Can you see any
thing the matter with my fOreheady
and he peered into mirror as he spoke
"No, there's nothing that can see,
answered the photographer. but
should be Obliged II you will please &c
away and not come here again: this
sort OF thing Is just wee bit creepy"
Upon this there was dreadful scene
but the upshot was that the young man
had to 20, and up to the present time
has never returned.
The explanation OF the matter Is that
the young man was biz OF scientist
and had been playing joke on the pho
tographer. Bisulphate OF quinine Is q
chemical which Ia white to the naked
eye, but seen black by the camera
Anything that ia painted on the skin
therefore, with the chemical will be
ordinarily invisible, but will come out
prominently In photograph.-Pitts'

ON PHYSICAL CULTURE.

"The first three questions which
should be put to physical culture
pupil" says an authority on the subject
''are, What do you eat for breakfast
luncheon, dinner and between meals
How do you sit, and how do you stand
Standing is q lost art, and rs for sitting
so far In the history Of this world o.
ours II has never become an art. wher
IL comes to eating-well, feel slmos
hopeless about eating. fear tina
women will never learn to eat.
"They insult the craving Of stronl
healthy stomach by giving Il eclaires ant
Ice cream instead Of the proper food
Nearly sll young women do the SAINT
thing. Every time they do that the!
weaken their muscles. You can no
possibly train a muscle unless you hav,
given II the proper food.
up TO this time" The enthusiast con
linued, ''girls and women have devote,
their attention almost exclusively TO tn
development Of their arms and legs
This IL great mistake. Women need
even more than men, to give much at
tention to the development Of their vita
organs. The legs and arms work mucl
more easily II the vital organs are vel
developed.
"when girl first goes In for physica
training the teacher should teach her &
eat wholesome food, such as steaks
chops, rsre roast beef, whole whea
bread and vegetables. Girls don't NEE
tea, but should drink milk. plenty Of II
instead. Next she should teach them {
sit before she starts them In on regula
