A QURER KIND OF CHARITY.

The New York World says that John
D. Rockfeller's income is So, 600, 900 per
year. This is $27, 476, O4 per day for
every work day in the year, or $685.
$50 Oh per day, Sundays included.
This is more than twenty five thou
sand times the income of the average
laboring man, and one hundred and
seventy two times the salary of the
President.
Think Of a man drawing $27, 476. O4 per
day for the ten hours per day, or nearly
$48 per minute, while hundreds of thou
sands of better men suffer for LIES me-
~cessities.

LAUNDERING WHITE SHIRTS.

Farmers wives cannot depend on
Chinese or steam laundries to do this
work, even if they have plenty of
money to pay for it, and it is very con-
venient to know how to launder a shirt
themselves. The wahing is fully as
important as the ironing, for unless
they are perfectly clean, no amount of
polishing will make them look well.
Some housekeepers wash the shirts
with the regular washing; others save
them for three or four weeks, and then
wash them separately. When the latter
method is adopted, put them in a tub
the night before they are to be washed,
with plenty of clear water to cover
them, and let them soak. In the
morning, put on a boiler Of soft water.
Pass the clothes through the wringer
into the second tub, and when the
water has heated, pour it owe them.
Wash through this water, using plenty
of white soap to remove the dirt. Com
mon yellow soaps contain rosin, which
turns linen and muslin yellow. Put
the shirts into the boiler with good hot
suds, and let them boil ten minutes.
Do not crowd them, as they should
have plenty of room and water, to OBJ
tain the best results. When they are
enough water to make them cool
enough to handle, rub them through
this, and rinse through two waters
one clear, the other just blue enough to
make them look clear and white. In
sufficient rinsing will leave them
streaked. Hang them on the line in
the sunshine until dry.
The cold starch should be partly pre-
pared the evening before it is used.
This is done by putting three table
spoonfuls Of powdered starch and six
tablespoonful of water in a bowl. Mix
thoroughly and cover it to keep the
dust out. Next morning add more
water until it is thin enough; stir until
smooth, and put in q drop or two or
bluing; then take a piece of soap and
rub it between the hands in the starch,
until the mixture is frothy, like soap
suds. A little gum-arabic, dissolved
in water and added to the starch,
makes it sitter. Dip the collars, cuffs
and shirt bosom in, one at a time, and
be sure that every thread is saturated
with the starch. Roll up tightly and
let them remain half an hour before
ironing.
Your ironing board should be covered
with several thicknesses of old blanket,
then with white muslin, all of which
are stretched smoothly, and securely
tackled to the board. Two covers may
be made like pilloW-slips, except that
they are larger at one end than the
other (as that is the usual shape Of the
ironing board) and n open at both
ends. A clean cover can be slipped On

The supervisors had shown that tney
wouId not do this and the Legislature
in such knowledge would doubtless give
them hereafter the proper range for the
proper doing of their work.
Prof. ]. u. Rowe, Supervisor OF "a
towba county. addressed the body on
the subject assigned: Uniform County
Examinations" He stated that Cataw-
ba county had nine high schools in which
teachers were prepared for the work of
public school teaching. He regretted
That those schools were not able to do
more strictly normal work. They have
the willingness but not the financial abil-
ity.
sion followed Prof. Rowe's remarks par
ticipated in by Messrs. Mattox, Ellis
and others. A motion was made by
Prof. Ellis for the appointment Of a
committee for formulation Of plan for
Uniform Examinations of teachers. The
motion was carried. and the committee
will be appointed later.
Prof. II. A. Grey, Supervisor Of Meek
lenburg county. talked on What May
he done by Combining Some of our
Smaller Schools" He was strongly in
favor of concentration Of schools at
better salaries, rather than for more
schools. There were already in his coun-
ty too many schools. Prof. Grey's OBJ
servations were altogether practical and
from his experience as supervisor, which.
at the request of some of those present,
he took occasion to outline in a very
entertaining way. He touched in this
connection upon his method Of visiting
the schools. and of his present plans OF
bringing together two or more schools
into one to the betterment Of teacher
and scholar.
Prof. Grey's remarks were attentively
heard and We're following by timely sug-
gestions in the general discussion.

AFTERNOON SESSION.


THE meeting resumed it's sitting after

The first feature was the address by
Prof. d. L. Ellis, Supervisor OF Bun

him, namely, "A Plan tor supervising

Prof. Ellis recommended the division
of the schools in the county into three
groups and let no two groups be ~
session at the same time, to the end
that the Supervisor might effectively
overlook the workings, a thing which
Was in some instances, impossible now.

present conditions, one Supervisor would
have to give attention to 100 schools in
