Oxalic acid will also remove leather

plant juice, salt and starch and expose
to the sun. Try oxalic acid for black
iron rust. Use alcohol or molasses
for grass stains. Blood stains can be

GOethe's AIignon Found.

Tie Goethe Society, of Vienna, has
just discovered the real story that lies
back of Goethe's beautiful creation Of
"Mignon," which has passed into so
many songs and even into an opera.
This story runs that in 1764 an Ital-
ian equilibrist, named Caratta, went
to Goettinger with his troupe. In his
company was child, evidently of good
family, who took her part with marked
reluctance. The report soon spread
that the child had been kidnapped by
Caratta, but he fled, and escaped all
inquiry.
The fate of the eleven-year- r-old Pc
tronella, as she was called, caused a
great sensation in Goettingen. Young
poets OF the town wrote on the theme,
and Daniel Schiebler, one of the uni
versity students, collected these poems
into volume. Soon after Schiebler
went to Leipsic, where he was thrown
much with Goethe, and told him the
sad tale of little P,tronella. A decade
later this Petronella became one Of
the most charming of poetic creations.

Fight Between Cn,nel..

Two camels were brought into the
grounds at the back of the palace and
made to face each other. They were
male animals, whose vicious tenden.
cies had made it necessary for them
to be kept from the rest OF the cattle
and who had been carefully fed in the
chieftain's fighting stock as being
especially powerful animals.
At a signal from the prince the
creatures were let loose and shambled
toward each other. At first they mere.
ly feinted and skirmished about in
clumsy fashion. their long, awkward
legs an irresistibly ludicrous sight.
Presently they began to foam at the
mouth, their faces became contorted
with fury, and sort of fencing match
took place.
Their heads darted from side to
side, and they strove to seize each
othor with their teeth. They groaned
and roared furiously, and the specta-
tors were soon worked up to a high
pitch of excitement.
Atlength one camel seized his enemy
by the leg, while the other, large,
long haired animal, retaliated by laying
hold OF his opponents ear. Blood
flowed freely, and opinion was divided
as to which camel would be the VIC
tor.
At last the long-haired camel, whose
grip on his adversary's ear was not
very firm, suddenly let go, but the
other continued to hold on to his an
tagonist's leg and even to drag him
about, roaring with pain.
The prince eventually gave the or
der to separate the combatants, but it
required the efforts of nearly dozen
men with ropes, chains and cudgels to
put an end to the affray. Even then
the wound on the leg of the van
quished camel was SO serious that l
believe the poor creature was crippled
for months.-Londop Globe.

The Science OF housekeeping.

The labor of houseclean;ng can
nowadays be fairly reduced to a
science. Before opening the cam.
palgn against dirt there are some
small preliminary hints that, if needed,
will do much toward lessening the
work.
For instance, the housekeeper
should beforehand go over every room
with notebook and pencil, jotting
down list of the things which are to
be done in each place. When the list
has been finished, all the mending and
small repairs in each room should be
gone overall the torn embroidery,
curtains or linen should be put in
order, broken vases or china mended
or replaced, and chairs that need an
extra screw be fixed.
In the linen cupboard the linen that
is to be used in each room should be
Systematically laid out, each piece on
its particular shelf. This array should
include clean curtains. towels, bed
spreads, cushion covers and doilies.
When this has been done the house
cleaner will know just where to find
each clean article as it is needed.
