SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS.

Blankets which nave 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
erlv done no shrinking will take place, and
the feecy soft appearance may be retained,
as we'll the color, for years. The 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 yeIlows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, fll a tub half full of hot
water. Dissolve a third of q cake of Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket in at a time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub oap on blankets,
or wash them on the dashboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add q little blueing to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under a weight for a day or two,
and pack securely in a box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as we'll as wear three
times as long as if put away soiled year
after year. ELIZA r. PARKER.

to the west at once. He served in Wash
ington Territory and was on the Pa
cific coast. when the war came. Life
now began tO"assume a bright hue for
him, and he was made lieutenant. He
took ship, sailed for New York and
was ordered to Ohio, his native state.
There he organized a company, became
a captain of volunteers and marched of
to the war. In less than a year he was
in command of a brigade. Later he
was placed on the staff of General Nc
Clellan, and served in the peninsular
and Maryland campaigns. He fought
CALAMITY at ChicKamauga and was
brevetted major of the army as a re-
ward. In 1863 he joined General Sheri-
dan on the Potomoc, was made lieu
tenant colonel and inspector general OF
corps. He was again made brigadier
general Of volunteers for brave work
at Richmond and Shenandoah, and in
1865 he was colonel of the regular army
He remained with Sheridan for some
years after the war, and in 1886 he
was promoted colonel at Fort Riley
and later given a b%rigadier generalship.
He is a soldier of fine presence and is
a strict disciplinarian.

the dusky representative will probably
make a proper explanation. He began
his speech by expressing great salts
faction for the privilege of addressing
such a representative body Of western
m Then he touched another
sympathetic chord in the hearts If his
audience by his pathetic reference to
the mothers Of his own land. His re-
marks were ended with the following
tribute to the woman in general: She
is the heavenly flower stolen from par
adise to adorn the house; as a sister
she is tho ministering angel; as a wife
she is the crowned queen; as the moth
er she is the goddess, noble and exalt-
ed, but when she abuses this great
power she is the most dangerous crea-
ture on earth 1t is to this last re-
mark hat nearly the whole audience
took somewhat indignant exception.
The Bramacharian's conversation In
private is ingenious, absolutely self
reliant and swift. He has a very lofty
conception of life, which is at eTtire
variance from the ideas of the western
hemisphere, and with his careful study
and training in science, in philosophy
and our methods. he is capable to meet
an argument on any basis with the re-
suit that he will usually convince his
listeners that he speaks whereof he
knows.

The - Ny .AnG Uhe Waiter.

A funny incident OF an evening re.
ceptton gwen by Nice-President aud
Mrs Morton. which so far has not
crept into print relates to the wife OF
a member in congress upon whom the
honors OF senatorship had been con
ferred. Her progress through the
crowded rooms with her husband had
been the signal for such continuous
congratulations and extensive hand
shaking that by the time the supper
room was reached the lady sank
down exhausted on a sofa on which
several friends were seated. A
moment later she became conscious
OF a black. coated man bending DO
litely toward her and supposing more
congratulations were IN order at once
rose and extending her hand suddenly
awoke to the fact that she was warmly
grasping the hand Of an astonished
waiter who had approached to inquire
what he could serve her from the

cisco, as a popular or unpopular repre-
sentative. Although n OF the most
enlightened and Intellectually superior
citizens of the orient who has ever
visited this country, his alleged re-
marks on the character OF western
women have raised an unlimited
amount of discussion and society Cos
sip among the residents Of the Pacific
coast. Bodhabhikshu is the supremacy
daring man who declared in effect mat
the women of the western United
States are savages. This brutal con-
clusion followed on a beautifully word
ed description of woman as the tine
flower of civilization, and it was on
account of this all the more cruel. If
there is one thing on which the west
ern woman prides herself it is that she
is civilized. She showed at least one
quality when she treated B~odhabhikshu
mercifully. She did not abuse her
power in this case. B~odhabhikshu is
a picturesque character, yet a fine type
of the Oriental mystic of which we hear
much and see little. If his audience
was one of dressmaHers and milliners,
