Washing q Fine Art.

Ever since spinning was a type OF woman
ly industry, from age to age 1t has been
expected that beautiful apparel should
clothe women. To keep dainty belongings
in good order it is necessary to have them
properly laundered. This Is especially true
in the laundering Of pretty summer gowns,
which is now quite fne art. To do the
work properly, fill tub two-thirds full OF
warm water, dissolve the fourth Of cake
Of Ivory Soap (Which will not fade the most
delicate colors), add 1t to the water; wash
the articles through it, rinse first in clear
and then in blue water; wiring, dip in thin
starch, shake out and hang on the line in
the shade. When dry, sprinkle and iron.
Gowns thus laundered will retain their
freshness the entire season.

pretty birds and orange trees and
luscious fruits and beautiful see
merry and mountains and the great
waters of the mighty sea. Ny
wife and my daughters can spend
half day in looking at the beautiful
things il the show windows in Allan
Ia, but I never stop to gaze or to ad-
mire, except, perhaps, to look at the
photographers display or the life-like
models of lovely women that seem
smiling at my three-score and ten.
Reading and observation teach me
that all good men have reverence for
womankind and are conscious of her
better nature, her better morals and
emotions. Shakespeare and Scott
write of women as ministering angels.
Wadsworth says of her creation:
ga perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort and command"
No great poet save such rake as
Byron would have written:
Gas we'll believe woman, or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false
Even Solomon in all his glory with
his wives and concubines said:
Young man, rejoice with the wife Of thy
youth, and be thou always ravished with
her love-"
Edward ". Box says in The Ladies
Home Journal, ''No economy is SO
false and misguided as that which
seeks to withhold one pleasure from
the life of a good woman, true wife
or loving mother. The best home a
man can give her becomes tiresome if
she is asked to live in it and stay in it
365 days in a year. The Lord knows
that woman's life is hard enough. She
travels a path of endurance and suf-
fering to which the average man is an
entire stranger. Then let US make
that path as pleasant, as easy and as
bright as possible. Every dollar that
a man spends on his home for the
happiness and comfort of his wife will
come back to him four-fold."
That is true-all true. Better mend
the broken pane or that sash cord or
that gate latch and sometimes take an
hour off from business and take her to
ride. The Odd Fellows and Masons
and knights of Pythias are good insti-
tutions, butt should not come in between
. man and his wife. The mother wants
help with the children, for I tell you,
my brethren, there is no care nor
anxiety like nursing and caring for q
little child, and nobody but mother
will do it willingly. A mother who
has reared eight or ten children from
infancy to maturity, and four years OF
the time during a pitiless war, when
she had to flee from the foul invader
with her little ones and hide them,
half clad and always hungry, can say
with Paul, 81 have fought good
fight; I have finished my course. Yes,
Paul said taat, but he was an old
bachelor, and knew nothing of what q
mother suffers. The most pathetic
line in all poetry is that of Fitz Greene
Halleck, where he apostrophizes death:
"Come to the mother when she feels
For the first time her frst-born's breath"
The death of a young mother in child
birth is the saddest of all natures
calamities.
Maternal love-maternal interest!
What is it that so inspires woman to
bear her fate-to suffer and be strong?

be brought to Baltimore to be tried in the
United States district court upon the
charge of fitting out and sending from Bal

steamer Woodall in July, 1895.
The two Cubans were arrested in New

that city before Commissioners Shields
Testimony was given against them by
Captain John NJ. Hudson of Brooklyn
who commanded the expedition, and by
John Cronin and John Lockncy. two resi-
dents of Baltimore, who shipped as fire
men upon the steamer.
The discrimination TO remove the case to
Baltimore for trial was made at the sug-
gostion of Attorney General Harmon, who
was Of the opinion that as the Woodall
had been purchased here, had been fitted
out here and started from here. the trial
should occur here instead of New York,
where the expedition was planned. Com

precise Information as to all the rebel ar
rancemcnts, their strength and their
weakness. To this end he is said to have
utilized an agency which never before in
the history OF nations had been so degrad-
ed-the confessional OF the Church OF
Romc-the insurgent leader contending
that it was through Venezuelas wife that
the priests of Cavite became advised Of
their hores and plans and that they dis
closed the secrets thus divulged in the
supposedly sacred confessional to the
Spanish leaders.
The execution Of Venezuela and three of
his followers, upon whose left arms were
found the Y mark, took place one beauti-
full morning in early October, the great
square of the ancient walled town being
the scene BY the SpaniGrds the day was
made a general holiday. Bands played, the
soldiers were paraded, and the scnoritas
donned their most becoming costumes and
were early at the place of execution. All
possible pageantry was introduced, but all
TO little effect in drawing to the city the
native population, who, under ordinary
circumstances. would not have missed the
sight under any consideration. Not half a
score in all witnessed the death of their
hero-and they with i'll concealed desire to
avenge
Just before the execution an officer ap-
preached Venezuela, and, holding a paper
before his eyes so that he might read:
"Sign this, he said, land life is yours,
with safe conduct TO any foreign country
you may name.
The paper was in the nature Of a prom
Use to disclose the names Of his associate
leaders, their source Of supplies and their
plans, of which the Spanish had not been
able to obtain more than indefinite inform
alton. Nenezuela's eyes flashed, and his
tall, straight figure seemed TO grow yet

Ready, too, were his three silent com
