Caring For Dairy Utensils.

There is an art in washing dairy
utensils as there IS almost every kind
of work k-thet Is, there is right way
and wrong way to do. it. If you
take Il pan that is covered with old
milk and dip ii into boiling hot water
the effect will be to instantly cook the
easein on the tin. and especially in
the cracks and seams, and this cooked
casein or cheese quality of the milk
cannot be washed off again with soap
and water, but would have to be
scrubbed off with ashes
It is far better 10 use some judg-
ment in the work, and that would
suggest that as soon as you empty
vessel that has held milk, and before
the old milk can dry on it, give it
thorough washing in cold water first.
then apply the hot water as hot as
possible. 10 remove the grease and
Keep this washing up until the grease
Is all removed. Gou can easily tell
whether or not tin vessel has been
properly washed by rubbing the dry
finger over it. Ii it slips the least
BIT you may know the work was not
properly done

DRAGGED TO DOOM.
Chester chiId's Prank at Cow Boy Ends in
His Death.

The "Wlld West Fever" cost H.
year-old Frank Beaumont, of Chester,
his life, his death being surrounded
by the most sensational circumstances.
Since the exhibit of Wild West show
there last week, young Beaumont has
been smltten with the "Wild West
Fe r." He made the lariet his con-
star companion and tried his skill
with all the fervor of a youth on any
available object.
Thurday evening Beaumont was
standing IN front of his home playing
with the lasso when a Philadelphia
and Reading freight train hove in
sight. The engineer, as is the custom
wheh going through the city, was
leaning well out of the side of his cab
window to see if the tracks were clear.
The temptation proved too much
tor the lad and he cast the rope. True
to Its mark it spead. The engineers
head was encircled and his arms PIN
Toned to his side. The end of the rope
however, was tied IN knot about the
lads waist, and he was jerked off his
feet. This drew the rope tighter
around the engineer and before he
could free himself the lad was drawn
under the wheels of the train. Before
the train could be stopped the boy
was literally ground to pieces.

will gladly welcome you, and arrange
ments should be made with the clergy
men as to the sermons to be preached
and the music 10 be sung on the oc-
casion. The sermon should be based
on the theme ''of the results of the
war for the Union to mankind and
humanity and the music in addition
to being devotional should be patri-
otic. Every Post must take part in
these church services and so far as
practable every comrade should wear
the uniform and badge of our orgaplz-
alton.
III. 1t is urged that comrades be
detailed to visit the Public Schools on
one or more days of the week COM
mencing May 22d, to instruct the boys
and girls in the great lessons of the
War of the Rebellion, and Post Com
manders should impress upon the
comrades the grave responsibility Of
this duty because children are keen
critics and scan actions more than
words. Comrades OF the war should
remember that they are the living
epistles of patriotism and that they
are teaching the youth Of the land not
only by precept but by example.
~. In places where there are two
or more Posts division of Memorial
Day work will be arranged for by the
Officers or Committees from each Post
acting in concert.
V. May aoth is Memorial day and
not decoration day. Those who use
the day for sports, races, games. etc.,
apply to it the latter term. The only
name which the Grand Army has for
it is Memorial Day, and it is hoped
that the comrades and their friends,
the general public, and the newspapers S
| throughout the State, will on every
occasion insist on the only proper and
| authorized name-Memorial Day.
