When thrifty Frencbwoman wishes
TO clean black silk she brushes it thor
oughly and wipes it with a cloth.
Then, after it is free from dust, she
lays it fat on board aud sponges il
with hot coffee which has been
strained through muslin and freed
from sediment. The silk is sponged
on the right side, allowed to become
half dry and then ironed on the wrong
side.
The coffee removes every particle Of
grease and restores the brilliancy oil
the silk without giving it the shiny
appearance or the craekly and papery
stiffness which results from any other
liquid except ammonia and water,
which last does not freshen the color
and gloss of the silk as coffee does.
The silk is much improved by the
process, and the good effect is perma-
nent.
Silk should never be ironed with a
hot iron put directly on the silk. Al
ways hay thin wrapping paper, such
as is used by our best dry goods
stores, over it, and iron through the
paper.
When stitching thin silk or, indeed,
any goods himsy enough to draw in
the machine, lay paper over it also
and stitch through. The paper will
tear away easily along the line of per-
forations made by the needle.

The youngest soldier in the army
that went to Cuba was boy fourteen
years old. His father was bugler in
one of the volunteer regiments en-
camped at Tampa. He followed the
regiment to Tampa and was ordered
home. He did not go home, and when
the regiment was ordered aboard tho
transports to go to Cuba he slowed
himself away until they were day out
to sea. There was nothing for the COM
handing officer to do but to take tho
boy with him to Cuba, where he was
made water-boy. During the battle
Of San Juan Hill the boy carried water
to the men, and did all that he could
during the battle. He was returned or
one OF the first transports, but when he
reached New York he had no money to
pay his railroad fare to his home at
Columbus. Ohio. The government off,
Gals could not pay his transportation
but letter was given him asking rail
way officers to help him home. When
asked If he was afraid during the bat
tie, he said he did not have time to be
afraid. he had too much to do.
