ALARM WAS TANGLED.

The fire department was called out at
II o'clock last night. The alarm was APP
parently sent in from Box No. 50, located
at the corner of Silver and Idaho streets.
On arriving at this place no fire could
be found, but about this time the second
alarm, from Box No. %. was sent in, and
the department went to its location on
South Arizona street. Debris in a cess
pool in the rear of a saloon conducted by
james Burns on South Arizona street
had in some way caught fire, probably
from spontaneous combustion, and the
smoke, escaping to the saloon, gave the
impression shat the place was on fire.
When the department arrived a man on
the roof was applying an ak with violence
and with the enthusiasm of the man who
on a similar occasion threw the looking
glass out of the window and carefully
carried to terra firm the stove shovel.
When asked what he was doing. he said
he wanted "to show them fire fellers how
to find a fire. The fire was eXtinguished
in Il few minutes and the only damage
was that inflicted by the man with the

Livingston-Tired of life and %estranged

miles east Of this city. took the razor

the crimson currency he paid for his re-
lease from life, lying by his SIDE. Bryant
leaves a wife and four children. He came

round a curve, was on them before they
had time to get all their traps off the
track. Tracey and two companions tried
to throw the handcar off. but the two men
realized that it could not be done and
abandoned the car and called to Tracey
to look out for himself. but foolishly he
persisted in his effort to save the hand
car and he was still Juggling at it when
the engine struck him. He was thrown
some distance and when picked up he was
still alive, but died in a few minutes. The
body was picked up and brought as far as
WHITEHALL, where it was examined, and 1T
was found that his neck was broken and
one of his legs badly fractured. Tracey

ed at Whitehall, though it IS understood
he came from Butte some time ago. Moth

Care of Food.
Inquirer,

1t is a very common practice says
an exchange, to put away TODD that
comes from the shop in the brown pa
per in which the dealer wraps it.
While this may be convenient, it GER
tainly is open to serious objection on
the score of health and cleanliness.
Most of the cheap papers are made
from materials hardly up to the stand
ard of the housekeeper's ideas of neat
ness and although a certain degree Of
heat is employed in their preparation
it is by no means sufficient to destroy
all the disease germs with which the
raw material may be filled.
When it is taken into consideration
that waste papers of all sorts, and
those used for all purposes, are gath
cred up and worked over into new pa
per to wrap our food in, it behooves
the housewife who cars for the health
Of her family to see to it that articles
wrapping the very shortest possible
time.
1t is not unusual to see meat, butter,
cheese and other extremely susceptible
articles put away in the very cheapest,
commonest brown paper.
Immediately upon the receipt of soft
groceries or fruits they should be put
into earthen Dishes and under no cir
cumstances should they be allowed to
remain in the papers in which they
are delivered.
1t is useless to expect that a better
class of paper will be employed, and
so we may as we'll make up our minds
to guard against trouble by shifting
all articles of food to some dish that
is absolutely free from communicating
elements

Some Good Things to Know.

Iron rust, which is seldom account
ed for, should be removed as soon as
seen. Lay on a generous coating OF
salt and over this squeeze the juice Of
a lemon until wet. 1t is not necessary
to lay the rusty spots in the sun to eff
feet their Obliterat ton. When the salt
is dry brush it off, and add more if the
stain is not quite gone. Widowed
linen, unless of long standing, may be
restored by being dipped in a solution
of lime water made by adding a spoon
full of chloride Of lime to a quart Of
water. Repeat two or three times, in
reality washing the spots in lime wa
ter Rinse we'll or the lime water will
make the material tender. This same
solution will greatly aid in the bleach
ing Of yellowed clothing. Soak the
garment in the water for three or four
low; then rinse we'll and hang in the
sun. Tar and the black grease spots
now so likely to appear on the crash
skirt in bicycling may be taken Off
with a coating of lard, the spot being
rubbed precisely as if it were sOaped.
Wipe the lard off with a soft cloth and
then wash we'll. When the stain is on
garments that cannot be washed splr-
it's of turpentine should be used. COZ
fee tea and wine stains on fine linen
should be taken out before the linen is
again washed If boiling water passed
through the stain will not eradicate it,
javelle water will surely do it. This
water, very useful article to have al
ways in the laundry, may be bought
of druggist or may be made at home
as follows: Place two pounds of BIZ
carbonate of soda and two quarts of
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-03-15

hot water in a porcelain lined kettle
and when the soda is dissolved add
half pound of chloride of lime, stir
ring well with wood stick. Set the
water aside to settle and when clear
strain the liquid through cheese cloth
and bottle tightly. When using allow
half pint of water to each quart Of
clear water and soak the stained lin
en-. Several hours soaking will usu-
ally obliterate all stain. Rinse in at
least three waters. White goods alone
may be so treated, as the water will
take the colored goods.-Philadelphia

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Washing jFlannels.

In washing fiannels great care must
be taken that they do not shrink. They
should be washed on a bright day and
dried as quickly as possible. Shake
them piece by piece first, to remove all
dust or lint. Prepare two tubs OF wa
ter as hot as hand can bear comfort
ably, putting enough dissolved soap in
one to make a strong suds. Never use
yellow soap in fiannels on account Of
the resin. To every three gallons OF
water allow one tablespoonful of bo-
rax or two tablespOOnfuls of household
ammonia, which, although equally
cleansing, is more apt to leave vel
lowish tinge. Put the fiannels in the
suds and wash by sOpping up and
down instead of rubbing. Flannels
should never be rubbed nor wrung
with a twisting motion, as that thick
ems them. Squeeze from the suds and
rinse in the second tub, whose water
must be of the same temperature as
the first used. If you like little blu
ing this may be added to third tub
of water, also of the same tempera,
ture. Put through the wringer, and,
if not freezing, dry in the open air.
When there is danger of freezing they
may be dried in the house, taking
care that they are not hung where
they will absorb the OdOrs of cooking.
Before quite dry take down, fold and
roll in a clean cloth and iron as soon
as possible with a moderately hot iron,
depnding upon a good deal of press
ure For colored fiannels have fresh
hot suds to avoid the lint from the
white garments.-EX.

which the wearer of good clothes is
supposed to enjoy.
Making Over Clothing.

Dresses of good material are always
worth making over once or twice for
ones self or for some one else.
Fashions are continually changing,
but usually not so suddenly but that
the best dres of one season may be
made second best for the second sea-
son.
If one does not like the same color,
changing the color; especially is that
desirable for the second making over.
The skirts of today with their shap,
ed fiounces and ruffies, allow much lib
erty in saving old goods.
Two much worn dresses may be
made into one by using one of novel
ty'' weave for the gored or upper part
and a plain one for the f1ounce. Of
course only the best parts must be
used and even piecing may be done
successfully by much painstaking and
hiding the seams with trimming.
The present small sleeves with their
small leaps" and epaulettes are also
quite convenient in remodeling.
If one is ''handy with the needle"
and can cut and fit economically, she
may consider cleaning and dyeing an
old garment as the greater part of the
work. Very little experience would
teach one that the contrary is true.
The directions on each package of
diamond dyes are very simple and
easy to follow. But one should be
very careful in ripping seams, not to
tear the cloth, to dust it we'll, and if it
is WOODEN goods, to wash it we'll in
warm suds before dyeing; and after
the goods is dyed to be equally careful
in pressing.
Have the iron moderately hot and
never press the goods perfectly dry or
it will look shiny. Cease just before
the steam quits rising and the goods
will be soft and new in appearance.

Life of Clothing.

Garments hanging in a wardrobe or
folded away in a drawer should be
frequently taken out, shaken and air
ed, while those which are in actual
use ought at night, or whenever the
Wearer changes them, to be carefully
tumbled and creased, says Harper's
Bazaar. The adoption of this simple
precautiOn will prevent the rapid wear
and tear which make clothing look old
while it is still in reality new. The
neglected freck or coat shut up in a
closet and forgotten for weeks may
gown which never sees the sunshine
emerges from it's SecluSion subtly the
worse for wear, though it has not been
worn. Woe to the reckless person who
never brushes his clothing when he
takes it off at night and who losses it
thither and yOn or throws it down in
a heap with an air of having slept in
his clothes, and will appear at a man
ifeSt disadvantage when compared
with the neat and tidy individual to
whom clothes are a possession to be
cared for and an acknowledged re-
sponsibility of the highest order, but
still one to be considered and taken
into account
There is an art of the housewife
which 'gars aid claithes luke amaist
as guide as new" and he or she who
regards this will see that loose buttons
are fastened securely, the missing
hooks and eyes are replaced, and that
trimmings are fastened and renewed
whenever they become sOiled or limp.
Care of detail in the daily mending
and brushing, the occasional sponging
and pressing, and, in short the intel
ligent and systematic supervision Of
clothing will prove the wisest econo-
my, lessening expense in the end and
adding to the refinement of pleasure
