now TO KEEP EMBROIDERED, LIN
EMS BRIGHT AND FRESH.

That hand work on wash materials is far
more desirable than on silk and velvet, so
popular a few years ago, cannot be doubt
ed, yet many women complain that the
cClors n and dinge SO soon that the
work is labor thrown away. But this is
an error, for if properly laundried, wash
silks may be kept fresh and bright until
the articles they aiorn are past usefulness.
The doing of the embroidery is no daint.cr
work than that of keeping it in good order,
and only by doing it herself cal the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty.
When ready to 90 the work. select o
bright day, fill q small tub nearly full Of
warm water and add a little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. Alter each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, to which a
little thin starch is added, wiring and hang
in the shade. When dry. sprinkle, fold,
and let stand helf an hour Iron on the
wrong side. pressing down heavily to
throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
thus restoring their original beauty.

Vile Spooks.

Another seance has been held in the
haunted house in Jacksonville, Ind,
at which eighteen persons, two Of them
mediums. were present. A large crowd
of people gathered on the outside, and
some one threw a brick at the house,
which bounced back and struck a
child in an adjoining yard.
During the seance all lights were ex-
tinguished, those present forming a
circle and c~iasping hands. Scraping,
rustling and rapping noises and. a
sound of saving were heard, and the
scrapsng Of pencils on the sheets OF
paper placed on the floor within
the circle. Objects rose in the air and
appeared to float around the room.
When the lights were lit again, eleven
letters in all sorts of handwriting were
discovered, n purporting to have
been written by Mrs. Mamie Bennett
and another by her little son, Omar,
victims of the Bennett tragedy. These
two notes expressed pleasure of the
writer's in the seance and startling de-
~velopments were promised. Another
searce is to be held in a few days.

Eggs Laid by Black Hens.

The other day a woman went into a.
grocery and said: Il want two dozen
hens eggs. They must all be eggs laid
by black hens" The grocer said:
Madam, l am willing to accommodate
you, but you have got the best of me
this time. | don't know how to tell
the e e of a black hen from those of
a spreckled or white one" Said she:
Il can tell the difference mighty quick"
"If- that. is so, madam, will you kindly
pick out the eggs for YOURSELF" She
did so, and when the two dozen were
counted into her basket the grocer
looked at them and said suggestively,
We'll madam, it seem as though the
black hens laid all the big eggs" Yes
said she, that's the way you tel
them"

Cooperative working Girls.

Everywhere the working woman is
considering the question of getting a
better living at less cost and she is try
ing all sorts of experiments. The most
successful of these seems to be CO.
operative housekeeping, experience
haYiing proved that if a clearinghouse
keeper can clear a comfortable living
out of eight or ten boarders then it is
clear that each of these boarders be-
sides supporting herself is contribut-
ing an eighth of the clearinghouse
keepers own living, an eighth when
she may as we'll have for herself.
In New York and Boston a great
many woman have taken up co-opera-
tive housekeeping. Among the shop
girls of both cities there are many
groups of girls, ranging from i've 10
ten in number, who lease or W thel
nome and live together upon a coop
erative basis. In Boston eight girls
have a home of this class in the SUI
burbs. They use a parlor, drawing
room and dining room in common
while each has her own bedroom on
the second or third floor. They keep a
servant and buy everything for cash
One day each week one of the girls
either takes her MONDAY recess, or else
an early hour in the morning, to pur-
chase the household supplies. The cos;
CT living, including food, fuel, gas, ice
ana service, is divided into eight parts
The accommodations of the house are
graded and assessed by the girls joint
~. A large room on the second 0
costs so cents a week more than the
one on the third floor, 70 cents NOR
than a small room on the second, ant
80 cents more than one on the third
They have the morning papers, thu
Weeklies, the monthly magazines, dres:
neatly, and are very happy, yet th'
wages earned by the eight are not large
The poorest paid girl gets 81 per week
and the best paid only SIS.

She Raises Pigs

Miss Anna T. Hargis of Louisville,
Ky, a college graduate, now engaged in
personally directing the business of
her fathers farm of over 200 acres, up
on which she has expended much time
and money in developing a special
breed of pigs to supply the increasing
demand for Kentucky cured hams.
These precious porkers receive the
kindest care, are fed upon sterilized
milk, meal and apples till they acquire
the special standard in weight to kill
in order that the hams shall be of a
uniform size and quality. They are
specially cured and carefully cooked on
the premises in the old Kentucky home
made manner.

Proof About the Tower OF Babel,

There is in New Orleans a negro
woman, according to the chief news
paltr Ct the Crescent City, who has
deeply rooted If not very clear ideas
about the Bible, among them being the
conviction that while God wrote some
parts of the great book, men put in 9TH
err portions. One thing which God
wrote sure enough, says the article, is
the story of the Tower of Babel. "Yas-
sir, yassir. God writ dat" she says;

Hisself. OATS probed: glory to de

A pretty woman must first OF all
have clearly-cut, regular features. She
must have full, clear eyes. She must
have a skin that is above reproach,
untouched by rouge or powder. She
must have glossy hair that has never
known the touch of bleach or dye. She
must have a good figure, plump enough
yet slender enough, though never sug-
gestiye of an angle. She must have a
white, expressive hand, preferably a
small one, but not of necessity, if it is
we'll kept and white. She must have
small ears and a throat that is like
a marble column for her head. She
must know how to put on her clothes,
or she loses half her beauty. She must
fully understand what best suits her in
the way of hair dressing. and cling
Closely to that.

Some facts as to the conduct of the
management of public lighthouses in
Europe are given in the current month
ly bulletin Of the department CT labor.
1t shows that the movement to provide
bath and w%ashhouse facilities, which
originated in England i'll 1912, has
spread widely in Great Britain and on
the continent, and has not yet spent
it's force. 1t notes that the establish
ment of public washhouses in. connec-
ton with bathhouses Of the CONFINED
swimming and cleanliness type is not
SO common as in the early years Of the
movement. The success Of the move
ment in Germany in establishing
workmen's baths of the shower bath
type is cited as evidence that the sim
pier and less expensive forms can be
most probably introduced by Ameri-
Fan cities in their first attempts to pro-
vide working classes with adequate
baths for cleansing and rtfreshment.

One evidence of the soundness of the
English language appears in the ease
with which it casts off c~olloquial ed
diticns when the need for them passes
away. Already the Klondike gold craze
a given us the colloquial klondiker,
or one who Is mining there. Other
words OF the sort will be sure to follow.
We may read of a klondikess, who has
gone to join her husband in that re-
gion: of klondikal wealth; of a person
who has the craze fully developed as
klondikized. When the mines are ex-
hausted the words will die out, and
The English tongue will be as pure as
ever.

An expert in the matters Of inks and
papers says that the books Of the pres
ent period are printed with such poor
ink on such %perishable. paper, that fu-
ture generations will not have an OPP
portunity OF reading them. No doubt
books our-grandchildren will thus suf-
fer a loss; but the total disappearance
OF much that passes for journalism in
these days will be so great a gain that
it may well be held that the balance
is ON the right side.
