SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS,

blnnkets which have been used all VIM
ter no matter how white, are never clean,
shd should be washed before putting away,
1hny housekeepers satisfy themselves by
stalking and airing their blankets rather
Than risk spelling them in washing. But
This is mistake, for il the work Is prop
lerly done no shrinking will take place, and
fle heecy soft appearance may be retained,
as we'll the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
iof soft water and good pure sonp Inferior
soap is really the cnuse of the damage
done woolen goods in washing. 1t hardens
the fibre and ye!lows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blnn-
kets free of dust, fill tub half full of hot
water. Dissolve third Of cake Of Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket in at time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub sonp on 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 n weight for day or two,
and pack securely in box and cover
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well as wear three
times as long as il put away soiled year
after year. ELIZA X. PARKER.

COMPETITION.
Senator o. II. Piatt Makes some Novel
Points for RailNaxa.

Senator o. II. Piatt Makes Some Novel
Points for Railways.
By Senator o. H. Platt: Competition
in railroad transportation differs from
every other kind of competition in the
world. l do not say that 1t is not to be
judged by the same legal rule, but /
say In essence and in character 1t is
different from competition in any 9TH
er business. In the first place, 1t Is
not competition in trade. The railroad
buys nothing of the producer; 1t sells
nothing to the consumer. 1t simply
carries-it distributes; that Is all. Con-
tracts in restraint OF trade may oper-
ate the same with reference to con-
tracts between common carriers as
between merchants; but the two kinds
OF business differ in character. It DIFF
fers from every other business, because
whatever the result Of the competition
and the rivalry the railroad stays. Ri
cardo ID a grea. advocate Of the doc
trine that competition il the life OF
trade: but he writes from bankers
standpoint. In banking. capital is cir
culatory. II competition drives 1t out
of the banking business 1t mky go into
the manufacturing business. But the
railroad stays whatever the result Of
competition.
II Competition and the survival Of
the fittest'' means the physical removal
Of the weakest. the pretended law IL
inapplicable, for you cannot remove
the railroad. When It's iron rails arc
laid down from point to point, there
1t stays; and however many companies
may be bankrupted by competition.
there stands another company ready to
take its place and to be bankrupted in
turn. 1t is not 20 ON the Highways.
It Is not 30 on the waterways. II two
rival coach Droprietors disagree and
one is bankrupted. the coaches can no
elsewhere and run on other roads. II
rival steamboat lines disagres and by
competition one is bankrupted. the
boats can 90 elsewhere. The world IL
full Of free Highways, but the railroad
is not . free highway.
