Good as New.
A woman of wonderful resources has
lust discovered a new and very sure
way of renovating and restoring to
their former appearance spotted, solled
or faded cloth or serge gowns.
Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young green
ones by choice wash them carefully and
place them in a jug or basin. Add
about one pint of boiling water, cover
Up the basin or jus. and leave TO soak
for two or three hours, when it viii be
ready for use. Meanwhile the garment
must be thoroughly brushed inside and
out, and all untidy braid or lining re-
moved from the bottom. VIXEN ready
spread It on the table, and carefully
sponge with the ivy water. It must
then be hung out 10 dry, when it viii
be found IL have recovered its former
color and to look quite like new.
Black silk may be cleaned in the same
manner, but it needs more care. If
the silk is in breadths ii must be lightly
sponged and then tightly rolled over a
cloth wound round a roller and left to
dry.
Black lace may also be renovated
when soiled or brown with age by
sponging with ivy water, and then roll
ing over a cloth wound round roller.
1t should not be ironed.
TO REMOVE MILDEW STAINS.
Mix equal quantities Of soft soap and
powdered starch With half the quanti-
ties of salt; make into a paste with
lemon juice. Lay this paste on each
side OF the mildew stains and let the
article lay out on the grass night and
day till the stains disappear. Soaking
the clothes stained in buttermilk for a
considerable time, then washing them
in the usual manner. and finally leaving
them 10 bleach all night on the grass,
is an old Fashioned country method,
which is effectual. Another is to make q
paste of table salt and lemon juice, and
lay this thickly on the spots, which
should have been previously wet and
soaped; the linen so treated being left
in the open air to bleach for several
hours al least
The best element in any of these
treatments is the nights bleach. In
towns, where this impracticable, the
best thing is to make a solution OF
equal parts of chloride of lime and com
mon soda in boiling Water-one-hal1
pound each of the lime and soda tc
three quarts of water; dip the stains
into this for q few seconds till they dis
appear, then rinse the article in boiline
soapsuds and send to the wash as us

! than a few seconds in the solution. OF

All the gold mined In the world from
the date OF the discovery OF America to
the close of the fiscal year 1895 is placed
by the statisticians OF the various gov
ernments at Ss,7s1. .S5S 700.
It is interesting to know that nearly
half OF this total for over 400 years has
been taken out OF three countries In
less than so years. Since the days OF
lS49 California and the contiguous gold
helds have given up S2035. 49, 600. Gold
was discovered in Australia in 1851, in
New South Wales, New Zealand, Tas-
mania, Queensland. Victoria and West
ern Australia, and the total output to
date is Sl,655, $4,000. Gold in South Az
rica, or, to be exact. in the South Afri-
can Republic, has been of Importance
since 1890 only, and the total at the end
OF the first six months of 1896 was lit
tie less than S2i2,0OOOO 900. The precious
metal today is being yielded at an an
nual rate of $36,0O00O0 in the United
States, S35,50000 900 in Australia and $780,
900, 900 in South Africa. But little is
ever heard of the enormous fortunes
that must have been made in Australia.
This is due to the fact that the princi-
