Be q Gentleman.

The most successful men in this world
are those who, possessing fair abilities,
are gentlemen in department, polite in
manners, dignified and courteous in bear
ing while dealing with all classes Of peo-
pie, male as we'll as female. The man
who respects the feeling Of the servants
as we'll as the high official, the laboring
man as we'll as the employer, is the one
to command the good will and services of
all. Truly great men never indulge in
acts of coarseness and disrespect, jest or
gibe to the disadvantage of others, utter
oaths, slang or vulgarity or constantly
indulge in uncleanliness Of person.
Courteous habits of speech and con-
duct, combined with strict integrity and
devotion to duty, add a charm to ones
manners and raises him in the estimation
of oil with whom he comes into contact
and will do as much to advance him on
the high road to success as any other
quality he can possess. Young men
should, among their other requirements,
learn to be gentlemen at all times aud in
all places.-Advance.

3E Ing Them to Full Up.
Blankets are the IDEAL bed covering
for winter, being hight, warm and du-
Fable, and IL washed properly they do
lot full up, but retain their soft, fleecy
look to the last. Double blankets are
too heavy to handle, but should be cut
In two and the cut edges bound or but
topholed with coarse yarn. Il the old
binding is worn out, it may be replaced
In the same way. Choose a bright sun
shiny day for the work, and if gentle
breeze is blowing 50 much the better.
The washing and drying should be
done as quickly as possible to insure
good results. Almost every one has q
good washing machine and wringer,
and with their aid the task will not be
q tedious or difficult one.

vantage than one. Put a boilerful of

How to iron Linen.

long enough to iron nicely without be-

wrinkles have once dried In the linen,
it is very difficult to remove all Of
them with the iron. Next have very
hot iron, not hot enough to scorch, but
sufficient to dry the linen rapidly when

perfectly dry; otherwise the luster and
brilliancy that are so attractive will
not be obtained. Upon good linen

knew had at last hit on the right spot.
I located it within a few inches and then
pushed and prodded every projection
with the point of a darning needle until
something gave way and out jumped the
drawer. 1t was very cleverly masked
at the edges. by the curves Of the pattern,
and nobody in the world would suspect
its existence. had hoped that might
find something Of value in it, but was
