TRIBUTE TO GR0TIUs.
Picturesque and Impressive Cere-
mOny at Delft, Holland.

Picturesque and Impressive Cere-
mOny ut Delft, Holland.
DELFT, Holland, July 4-There was a
picturesque and impressive ceremony at
the Nieuva Kirck this morning The
church was filled with delegates, diplo-
mats, high officials and ladies. The cere-
mony began with a chorus singing Men
delssohns How Lovely Are the Messen-
gers That Bring Us Good Tidings of
Peace" after which A P. c. Van Karne-
beck, the former minister, and head of
the Dutch delegation at the peace confer
ence, who presided at today's ceremonies,
briefly outlined it's nature. He said:
Nowhere has the conference met with
heartier sympathy than in the United
States and it is as a token of this feeling
and acknowledgment of the conference by
the Netherlands that the American dele
gates, in the name of their government,
desire to pay tribute to the memory of
Hugo Grotius. In order to give this addi-
uonal significance they have chosen for
Its accomplishment their great national
feast day"
After the national hymn of the Neither
lands had been sung, Andrew D. White,
the United States ambassador to Germany
and head Of the American delegation to
the peace conference in a long, scholarly
address, paid an eloquent tribute to Gro
thus, to carry out whose ideas are assem-

Mr.. White added: II feel that nv own
country unites not only In her gratitude.
but in that of the civilized world
After tracing Grotius' work and the eff
feet of his ideas, Mr.. White said:
From this tomb of Grotius I seem to
hear message to go on with the work of
strengthening peace and humanizing war
and, above all, to give the world at least
a beginning of an effective, practical
scheme of arbitration"
At the end of his address, Mr.. White
laid on the tomb of Grotius, In behalf of
mis- colleagues, a wreath of silver oak and
aurel leaves, bearing the inscription:
To the memory of Hugo Grotius, on
he occasion of the peace conference at
Fhe Hague, in reverence and gratitude
rom the United States"
The wreath was three feet in diameter
and was in big beech case, ornamented
with silver, bearing the inscription:

Helpful Suggestions.

Every hOuSekeeper needs to look
carefully after her furs and winter gar
ments, else she is apt to lose them. A
cedar chest is a great luxury where
one has many possessions, but I will
suggest that it is wise to wrap your
seal skin and fur garments or wraps
in newspapers, carefully pinning or
sewing them up in paper bags before
putting in the cedar chest for summer,
as moths are very busy trying to make
ravages in fur clothing. This is a sure
preventive to moths.
Another helpful idea is the new one
Of washing pillows. [ remember when
my mother would have thought hers
were ruined if washed. They were
summed, aired day in and day out, but
the theory now is to wash them in
boiling water and the following meth
Cd makes them look like new, as light
and feecy AS can be. Choose a bright
sunny day. Fill a large tub half full
of water that is almost boiling hot, dis
solve enough pearline in 1T to make. a
good suds. Put one pill OW in at a time
and move them up and down by push
ing and squeezing between your hands
until they are clean. If one suds is
not enough, use two. Rinse in clear
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-04-26

warm water, wiring as dry as you can
and hang them out ON line to dry.
When they are dry, shake them hard
to keep the feathers from sticking to-
gether, and they will be like new pill
lows, as soft and white and f1eecy as
you would desire. The theory is, they
are healthier and safer to use after
washing and it stands to reason after
one is sick with grip and throat trou-
bles, and all kinds of oily bandages
and pOultices are used about our heads
and throats that lie on the pillows,
that they are not very clean or sweet
smelling. 1t is worth every housekeep-
er's time to try it.
"A few helpful suggestions in the
spring time are very much appreciated.
1 know this by the kind letters l get
asking for recipes, and they tell of
different suggestions read in household
departments, and how useful they are
to them. This is particularly so with
young inexperienced housekeepers.
Now as you are cleaning house per-
haps, you can clean pianos and rose
wood or mahogany furniture with a
damp channels skin. First rub off the
furniture with a cheese cloth (all the
dust then dip your chamois skin in
a pail of warm water and wipe off the
furniture. It polishes it beautifully.
Turpentine is good to wipe white spots
off from furniture also.

sweeping is a dust-breeding process in
stead of a dust-removing process, and
that while the broom may remove the
surface dust from a carpet, more yet
is driven into the nap. The same love-
ly carpet also absorbs unhealthful
odors, which come from the cellar or
bath room in the form of gases.
The dust enemy is the worst the
housekeeper has to vanquish. "Dust
and It's Dangers" by S. Mitchell Prud
den, is one of the books of reference
in a study course of household eco
nomics. And now the progressive
housewife is finding that there is a bet
ter way than stirring dust up in one
place to settle in another, and that if
there must be carpets instead of hard
wood floors there is a way Of wiping
the dust off the carpet which is better
than driving it in among the meshes,
to rise again with every footfall.-Ex.

An Easy Way to Clean Blankets.

Shave a bar of pure soap thin, put
it in a small saucepan, cover we'll with
water, and set over the fire to melt.
Strain through a colander into tub
half full of rain water, to which add
half a pound of powdered boraX. Stir
this mixture thoroughly, and put two
or three blankets in; let soak over
night In the morning stir the blankets
with a stick, lifting up and down, but
do not rub. When clean, and free of
stains, press the suds from them, and
put into a tub of clean luke warm wa
ter rinse and pour off the water, add
more. and rinse until clear. Then
shake and squeeze, but do not wiring.
Hang the blankets on a strong clothes
line, and let dry. When ready to take
down, fold, sprinkle with powdered
boraX to keep away moths, and lay in
a drawer or box. Blankets thus wash
ed will not shrink, and will remain
white and soft until worn out.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Cookery for Boys.

1T is not in reason perhaps to expect
the boys of the family to be brought
up to a knowledge of cookery. Still,
every boy should be sufficiently in
structed in this art to be able to cook
without making a disgusting and un-
palatable mess of it, says an exchange,
the army ration or any other equally
simple and common article of food.
All boys need not be, and should not
be, cooks, but every young man Of
eighteen or twenty should, for the
sake of being able to meet a possible
emergency in domestic or national life,
know how to boil rice, stew fruit, fry
bacon and make coffee.
The idea that it is beneath the dig
nifty or does not belong to the duties of
the boys of the family to assist their
mother and sisters when occasion re-
ouires in the domestic realm is mimi
cal to the production Of good soldiers,
and it may be added, of good hus-

Attic Rag Bags.

4 saving of attic rubbish year after
year is an unwarranted economy, ac-
co1ding to the Epitomist. So many
things are slowed away under the sup
position that some day such articles
may be wanted or may be utilized in
some way. Many an attic lot of put
away things would dress some child or
family of little folks in very respect
able manner, and would be so thank
fully received The better economy for
the housewife would be to place them
where Immediate good may be derived
from them, for in such places they
prove an economy indeed.
Is it economy to save rags for the
rag man? We think not, and long ago
discontinued the practice. This saving
of rags was handed down from one
generation of housewives to another,
no doubt. A rag bag is always an un-
slightly thing, and it is almost invaria-
bly, sent to the garnet or storeroom up
stairs. Steps innumerable are taken
before the rag bags are filed, or before
called for by the purchaser of rags and
the vender of cheap tin ware and 9th
er cheap and undesirable goods. And
there are better ways for making use
of the rags that accumulate about the
house. When a garment is cut up, af-
ter. having served it's days Of useful
ness as garment, the scraps and piec-
es are all put into a bag or into deep
jar that is not otherwise needed, and
they are kept to wipe out greasy dish
es, and to clean te!akettles with, and
to wipe up spots on the floor and from
off the stove. AS soon as they are
used they are burned. When a years
accumula ton of rag-bag rags will pur-
chase only a ten-cent basin, we begin
to feel that this is one of the Old-time
economies, where the housewife is JUS
titled in ''drawing the Hne."-Ex.

A Housekeeper's Virtues.

Domestic accomplishments have
gone rather out of fashion. 1t requires
real moral courage to be a good house
keeper. And this is true not only as
regards the affairs of the kitchen, but
the fashions of the parlOr as we'll. Who
will deny that it needs something more
than tact to keep a sharp watch over
dish cloths, dish towels and floor
cloths. and to insist in face of an in
dignant cook that they must be kept
scrupulously clean and in open sight
for daily inspection?
But sour and mouldy kitchen cloths
are one thing and sanitary draperies
another. Who ever saw a perfectly
lovely interior that was really SAM
tary. or room furnished according to
the requirements of the micrObe expert
that was cosy-loOking? 1t certainly is
hard for the young hOusekeeper to
forego plush door curtains because
they shut out light and air, when all
her Dreconceived notions of a pretty
home include some of those draperies.
But then door hangings can be taken
down and aired out of doors, so they
are not so bad after all.
But carpets-there's the rub! 1t is
gradually dawning upon women that

THE BREW OF OLYMPUS.

THE ''HOFFMAN," corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims to be the
Banner" resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. L. II. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
vising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons "Olympia Beer" This brew
is from the Capital Brewing Co." OF
Olympia, the capital Of the State OF
Washington, and was received by the
"Garonne." Mr.. Schmitt, the leading
spirit of this corporation, is a practical
Chemist and Brewer, and after years
of search and investigation located his
plant at Olympia, on account Of the
peculiar virtues Of the water OF the
Tum Falls, a stream that is noted for
it's distinctive qualities of clearness,
GOODNESS and lack of mineral and de-
caying vegetable impurities. Pure beer
can only be made with pure water, and
Tum water is traditional in Washing
ton with the Indians and original white
settlers. The "Olymphia Draught" Is
under the special control and agency
of Mr.. Dee and he invites his patrons
and friends to a personal test and is
willing to abide by their judgment on
