For laundry purposes 1t is invaluable,

fiannels, and, indeed, all materials for
which softened water is imperative;
the quantity to be used for such pur-
poses is practically inflnitesimal, so
that it is not extravagant; for instance,
a tablespoonful of the pure article in
a large bucket, in which such large and
cumbrous things as blankets would be
washed, will prove exceedingly useful.
Applied to boots, leather CATERS, ETC.,
when these have been impaired and
hardened by damp, wet or mud, 1t pre-
vents cracks and untimely signs of
wear; ii should be put on with rag
over night and wiped off before the
blacking is applied in the morning. A
teaspoonful OF the same substance add
ed to every pound of -four used in
bread and cake making is a great i'm
provement. Both coughs will be
shorter" and the articles when baked
keep fresh much longer. Finally, a
tablespoonful of glycerine to every
pound OF fruit used in making jam
will often do away altogether with the
early capitalization which is the bane
of the thrifty housewife.

A Good woman's Hero.

Lucky is the man, writes Margaret
hero. 1t may be that his worshiper
Is mother, wife, sister or sweetheart.
1t matters not which, the conscious
ness that he is great in her eyes must,
If he is worth one atom Of admiration,
inspire him to dare and do. But wheth-
er you are mother, sister, wife or
sweetheart, remember that it is not
an altogether impossible thing for your
hero to be just human. And remember,
too, that other folks do not look at
him through your eyes, so do not let 1t
break your heart when somebody inti-
mates that there are, to their thinking,
other men quite as good and great. At
any rate, do not expect them to bow
quite as low as you do. Carlyle has
said, and l know If you have thought
about the matter at all you have learn
ed just what he did, and believe just
what he prophecies, that: Hero wor-
ship exists, has existed and will for
ever exist, universally among man
kind" Of course, this means that men
do and will worship heroes as well as
women do and will, but there is, as
have told you, point or two of differ
ence in a mans and a woman's hero.
A man worships his hero for what he
has done; a woman worships her hero
for what she believes he may do

THE ORANGE FREE STATE.
The Education OF It's Children One oil
It's Primary Concerns

It's Primary Concerns.
The Orange Free State, which is now
invaded by the British, expends about
| $3.50 900 annually on roads, $500, 900 on
bridges, and large sums, for so small
country, on public buildings. In fact,
nearly one-third of the entire revenue
of the state is absorbed by educational
grants and public works. This would
be a very fine showing for countries
outside of Africa. The government Of
this Boer state is very careful about
the education of the children of the
land. For this purpose permanent
fund of 500 900 is set aside. The ed
ucational department is a very thor
| ough one. This department is under
a superintendent, who has under him
corps of inspectors and sub-inspec-
tors. There are about IS government
schools, with a staff or $50 teachers.
These schools are exclusive of private
and non-aided schools, such as those
which are maintained by the Catho-
lies, the Anglicans, and other religious
denominations. The great majority of
the citizens of the Orange Free State
are from the circumstances of their
Dutch origin, members Of the Dutch
Reformed church. This is the estab-
lished church of the land. There is a
congregation in nearly every little viii
lage of the country. The government
annually contributes about $4,000 to
the support of this religious sect. 1t
is paid into the church synod, to be
used as that body deems fit. This
synod meets every other year, in the
month of May, at Bloemfontein, the
capital. 1t is composed of the pas
tor and lay member of each congre-
cation. The following denominations
also have churches in the Orange
Free State: The Episcopalians, Luth-
Grams, Catholics, Methodists, Baptists,
and Presbyterians. The Orange Free
State has a sort of Maine liquor law.
1t was passed in 1888 This statute alb
solutely forbids the sale of alcoholic
stimulants of any kind to the tribes
men and to people of color generally.
1t pevents its sale to any one except in
towns. There is no license granted
for the sale of drink outside of munich
palities.

The small belongings Of Dress.

The minor accessories of dress go
far toward making a complete costume
and form the finishing touches of what
the French call harmonious dressing.
A we'll dressed woman need not neces-
sarily be extensively dressed. She is
the woman, the various articles Of
whose attire are becomingly and suit
ably, as well as fashionably chosen,
tremendously combined, carefully put
on, and who realizes the value of hav-
ing the little details of dress correct.
A Worth gown, diamond stomacher,
or a sable wrap cannot atone for a
torn corset cover, frowsy petticoat.
a torn glove or pair Of crooked heels.
There is an old saying that lady may
be known by the gloves and shoes she
wears. That most women are very
particular about the shoes they wear,
and expect great things from the mer-
chants who cater to their needs is evil
dent In the extensive, varied and
choice selections of footwear from
which women may choose what pleases
them best.

PETERS CREEK
ELECTRIC ROAD,

Though Jane French and Susan
Lathrop were twin sisters. and though
hey lived only fifteen miles apart, yet
they had not seen each other for three
years.
IL was not because they were bad
triends-no, no! Jane invariably spoke
OF Susan with emotion and gave II as
her opinion that whatever might be
said to the contrary. no one, to her
mind, ever seasoned tomato pickles
the way that Susan did. AS for Susan,
she was given to remarking that Jane
made bed with more celebrity and
neatness than any woman of her ac-
quaintance. BY this it will be seen
that a feeling of most affectionate
cordially existed between the two.
But neither OF them found it easy
to take the horses away from their
work for two days, and even If such
thing could be accomplished now and
then, ii was impossible for either wo-
man to achieve the journey without
some sort of a man-body as conductor
of the expedition.
1t was not that Jane and Susan were
timid drivers, but that 1t hardly SEEM
ed womanly for them to ford two
streams and dash up hill and down.
as the peculiarities of the road re-
quired them to do. Such a display Of
courage they would have considered
as distinctly masculine as the riding
OF diamond-framed wheel.
1t must not be supposed that the
part Of New York state in which this
occurred was unenriched by railroad
activity. Dear no! BY riding

her lap heaped with presents, her
heart dancing like an accepted lovers.
The cars started by the watch, spit
blue fire from the furious wheels and
green fire from the frantic troleys,
and made the run in fifty-eight and
fifty-nine minutes, respectively, pass
ing each other on the way.
The summer rain turned into down
pour, and all in the deluge Jane
climbed the hill to Susan's house. and
Susan plodded along the common TO
James.
Never mind, Jane" said John Lath-
rop to his sister-in-law. You just
make yourself to home. Susanll be

o. this here house till Sue gifts home.
She's been frettin' and stewin' fur We
till l up and said & her / guess she

So Jane staid and looked after SUI
sans children and cooked for Susan's
husband, and watched every car for
the appearance of her sister.
AS for Susan, she broke down for a
moment when she found that her jour
ney had been in vain.
NO see here, Susie" argued her
brother-in-law, Hank French, what
use is 1t to cry? Jane'll come racin'
home like Maud S. when she finds
you're here. You stay right where you
be-"
So Susan did as she was bid, and
visited with James husband and
hemmed James napkins and made a
new kind of pickle for Jane out OF
some overripe string beans.
But on the third day Jane concluded
to go home. And on the third day
Susan concluded to go home. And
so-but that's really the end of the
story.
They're fool invention to my

her husband.
Susan dropped tears in the bath as

There's too many new tangled

children. Next time your ma goes
