CARE OF MATTRESSES.
Need Constant Alteration to Keep
Them Odorless and In
Good Order.

"he feather bed is, of course, q thing
o. ,he PAST. it is probably not lament
ed in rlai:y quarters, as it Is certainly
unhealti!:', difficult to care for, and not
pleasant t. sleep on. Mattresses, blank
cts, pillows and other articles of bed
ding, however, require much care to
keep them Gdorless and clean.
The main enemies to mattresses are
dust, damp and moth, and frequent
brushing must be given them, for in On
incredibly short time they will harbor
dust all along the edges and where the
button is fixed. A loose cotton cover
over the mattress, made to button neat
ly at one end, always goes q long way
toward keeping it clean. This can be
washed and changed as often as need
be without much trouble or expense.
1t is very important to air all the bed
ding throughout. Every article should
be daily taken off and laid separately
over chair, and a strong current OF
air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes
are replaced. The mattress should be
turned daily from end to end, as this
insures it being worn more evenly, and
not sinking in the middle.
Blankets are difficulty to many peo-
pie, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed, or how treated. In
many houses they are only washed once
year, but somehow this does seem
rather too rare proceeding. On the
other hand. it is really not necessary to
have them washed more than twice a
year; but they must have proper care
in the interval in the shape of airing,
shaking, etc. A washing machine is
very good for the purpose, especially
rs they should never be rubbed by the
hand. The water should be only luke
warm, and a little soap we'll latheret.
in the water in all that will be required.
Wiring the blankets very dry through a
wringer, shake them out, and wash
again in the same way, wringing each
time, until they are quite clean. Do
not rinse them, but Full them into
shape, and hang them out in the sun,
which is n great help to preserving a
good color.-Ladies' Home Journal.

EDUCATION IN SPAIN.

A contributor to the Revue Inter

in few pnges the farcial system of Sec

question are the so-ca!iea provincial
Institutes. where boys between the ages
or ten and sixteen are instructed and
examined in ?5 subjects. seven of which
have been added to the list by a recent
decree Of the minister Of educntion-
viz: Political economy. common law
history or Spain. literature. hiator o!
art. bookkeeping. and Industrial nud
agricultural technics. The minister
also recommends visits 10 the museums
