hanging clothes properly, the inexpcri-
enced hand always showing in jag
ged, woebcgone-looking array oi
clothe, hung up regardless OF looks.
Colorcd clothes, gingham>, calicocs,
etc, should nevc" lie boiled Mems
oreralls and hlou,cs need boiling even
at the risk ol fllin, the color, but
they must not he allowed to "cook"
until the color deserts them.
After they have become bone dry"
put the shirts, collars and cuirs
through a wheat starch made by pour
ing foaming hot water over a smooth
batter obtained by stirring wheat flour
and cold water together until it is the
consistency OF thin cake batter. This
should be boiled slowly for two hours
and then strained through Il cheese
cloth to leave it perfectly free of
Jumps. Add to each quart of boiling
starch a teaspoonful of white wax
such As is especially prepared for laun-
dry use.
The secret OF good smooth finish
to stiff starched clothes is in the
method of starching. This must be
carefully done. Spread shirt bosom
over a clean board, and with q piece of
thin cloth rub the starch into the
bosom with strong, firm strokes.
There should not be wrinkle in linen
after tits thoroughly wet and starched,
and all superfluous starch is wiped off
with Il cloth. The wristbands and
neckbands are treated the same way
and the shirt is again hung out to dry.
When it is thoroughly dry" bone
dry" again-the shirt and collars and
cuffs are dipped for moment in boil
ing water and quickly wrung through
the wringer with the rollers pressed
as tight together as they can be
turned. The pieces should now be
left to stand for at least two hours be-
fore they are ironed.
No starch should be used for the
table linen. Skirts, wash dresses,
aprons, muslin curtains, etc, are put
through gloss starch made by pour
ing boiling water over smooth cream
of corn starch dissolved in little cold
water. Stir we'll and add white wax
as for wheat starch. Boil for five
minutes and then strain.
This starch can be used warm and
the clothes dipped into it as soon as
they come from the bluing water.
Put in first those pieces that require
the most stiffening, and lastly the thin
pieces. Some people fancy having the
ends of their pillow slips starched, and
others are averse to having anything
starchy touch their flesh. In the
matter of starching general household
linen one must be governed somewhat
by circumstances, and not rely alto
gether upon any rules, no matter how
good. Skirts are made sitter by dry
ing first and starching afterward, but
very stiff skirts are not worn now.

COST OF SEEING DEWEY.
High Prices For Seats to Witness
the Puradcs.

the Paradcs.
Extraordinarily high prices are be-
ing paid for points of vantage along
the routes of the Dewey land and ma
val parades, says the New York Even
ing Post Certain spectators are de
handing more money than the public
is willing to pay at this time, but the
stand and window accommodation is
being so rapidly disposed of that these
men will ultimately, it is believed, get
the sums they ask. In some places
prices are double what they were ut
the times of the Columbus and Grant
are much higher.
Property owners and lcsSees along
the line of march have learned by eX-
pcrience that their rights are valua-
pie. Their disposition seems to be to
shut the spectators out and have all
the profit for themselves. Spectators
control. however, good deal of the
available space. and they are confident
~ waiting for the time to come when
their high priced places are the only
ones Oh the market. Seats of rcaSona-
bic price are selling like hot cakes.
One agent said he had 100 applications
day from out of town alone. A week
before the parade, it was said, nearly
everything will be taken.
The spectators began to work just
as soon as the route of the parade was
announced tentatively, securing OPP
tons on windows and vacant lots.
There WAS great competition. The
agent for vacant store on Fifth ave
nue-raiScd above the pavement and
having il broad WindOw-said that he
bad had in Il single day four opportu-
rites TO rent the place for the day Of
the land parade. The first SpeculatoP
offered him $500, and he promptly re-
fused it. He has forgotten what the
second offered. The third offered $3.50,
and the fourth would give but $500.
The agent is holding the place now ut
$500 and does not doubt that he will
eventually sell the space for that

her cup of sorrow was filed to over
flowing when she received word from
Captain Dobson that her husband had
been badly wounded at the battle OF
Malvern HILL June 80 taken prisoner
and carried off to Libby prison. This
was too much for her. She felt that
she must go and nurse him at all haz-
ards.
After many rebuffS and disappoint
ments she found him and became an
army nurse. Mrs. Ewing nursed her
husband back to health and saw him
go home, and then she turned her at
tcntion to others and remained in the
hospital several months.
After her work at the hospital Mrs.
Ewing went home and at once identl-

The crimes charged to these officers
are almost Uncomfortable. They began
their work of barbarity by beheading
n native who declared he did not know

Voulet captured so natives, of whom he
killed 20 of the women and children,
