Ripe tomatoes will positively re-
move ink stains; boiling water many
fruit ssains--indeed, most fruit stains;
but when it comes to tea stains, re-
suits are dubious. This is probably
due 10 tea authorizations. Clear boil
ing water will certainly remove some
tea status, but that is all that can be
said. There are other ''sure meth
DDS" which give varying results. The
clearest points about these ugly stains
is that a plate should invariably be
placed under the teapot by way Of
preventing them. As for bleaches, all
the patent" varieties have more or
less I've in them, and need to be very
cautiously used. A tablespoonful of
turpentine boiled with clothes will
help to whiten them. Ladies' Home

Of his life. They were elevated by
him to the position Of steady and sens

Of SCOTS life was that which he spent
with his family at AshestIel, a coun-

friends visited him here. on Sundays
they would all, accompanied by the
