HOW TO WASH SILK.

Silk stockings, handkerchiefs and
any of the wash silk dress fabrics
so extensively used for wais is,
children's dresses and other purposes,
can be successfully cleaned, and re-
tain their dainty color and FRESHNESS
if washed carefully. 1t is better to
mend the stockings before putting
them in the water, as very small
hole assumes alarming proportions
during the cleansing process. They
should be washed alone and never
boiled, nor should soap ever be rubbed
directly upon them.
Prepare a suds of warm (not hot)
rain water, and dissolve little borax
in it. Put the silk in the water, and
gently rub and squee re it until it is
clean. If one water is not enough to
accomplish this, use two, then rinse
through two clear waters of the same
temperature as the suds, puttinga
little bluing in the second.
When it is ready to wiring, fold
smoothly, wrap with clean towel,
little stiffness is thought necessary,
dissolve little gum arabic in water,
and dip the silk in it after rinsing.
Borax should always be added to
the water in which silk is washed, for
it is the safest and best cleansing
agent known, and will not injure the
color or fabric.
When taken from the last water,
smooth it out, and hang as carefully
as possible to avoid wrinkles, which
are hard to iron out. When nearly
dry, press each piece carefully with a
thin piece of muslin Or calico spread
over it. Air the garments after they
are ironed until they are thoroughly
dry before putting them away

He would have been willing to con-

The doctor was a good natured sort

he dropped the suggestion that there
was a nest of snakes not more than a
mile and a half from town. If he
could manage to get bit by a snake he
would have to have whisky as an an

the prescription. The man with a thirst

China: a Ruskin Ideal

Archibald Little, in an interesting
paper read before the Liverpool Geo.
graphical Society, which has special
Importance in view Of recent events,
points out that the economic ideals
advocated by Ruskin have been to a
great extent realized in the Chinese
empire. The Chinese, he said, have
made of China a vast garden, with not
a weed in it. Their system of n
ing is highly sanitary. The streams
are u%npolluted, and no underground
drainage lays traps for the unwary.
With regard to the riches lying below
the surface, the same cannot be said.
Mining is carried on upon a very small
scale, and with very primitive meth

He Would Keep 1t Dark.

The argument by analogy or hypo-
thetical ease is often dangerous. A
very stately and dignified clergyman
used to tell a story illustrative of the
risk of this method. One of his par
ishioners was much addicted to drink,
and one night the vicar met him COM
ing home in such a condition that he
demonstrated with him on the spot. He
e~ndeavored to point on the degrade
ton of such a state, and. by way of
clinching his argument, asked: What
would you say if you were to see me
reeling down the road in a state Of
hopeless intoxication?" The offender
appeared to be deeply impressed and
answered fervently: II wouldn't tell 6
soul, sir."-The Londoner.

The airship is an immense thing, be-

The nomination of Adlai E. Steven
son for the vice-presidency by the
democratic party recalled to the mem
bers of the Iowa State Bar association
who were present at the banquet given
in Sioux City, Ia, July II, 1899, a story
told by Mr.. Stevenson at that banquet.
He happened to be a guest in Sioux
City at the time, at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Z. S. McCaughey. Mr..
Stevenson was quite the lion at the
feast, at which no wine was served,
and when he was called upon by
James o. Crosby, of Garnavillo, Ia,
president of the association and toast
master for the occasion, he arose and
remarked that, inasmuch as he was not
prepared to make a speech he would
tell a story.
The story was about a man who
went to a small prohibition town in
the state of Maine, and while there
was seized with a great, abiding thirst
for whisky. There being no saloons,
he tried a drug store. There he was
told he could get whisky only on the
prescription of a physician. He called

About the Potato.

Recent experiments show that po-
tatoes contain a poison known as
solanin. New potatoes contain COM
paratively little of this poison unless.
they grow above the surface of the
ground and have a green skin. Gard
eners should, therefore, be careful to
thoroughly earth-up potato-rows.
Old potatoes contain much more of
this poisonous principle %solanin, and
many cases of serious poisoning have
occurred in the late summer when old
potatoes were used.
In 1892 and 1898 there was almost
wholesale poisoning among the troops
of the German army. In this case
it was found that in old potatoes kept
in a damp place and beginning to
sprout there was "a times as much
solanin as in new potatoes.-Tit-Bits.

however, the city dweller gets well
burned during the first few days OF
his vacation in the country or on the
water. In severe cases the skin is
red, slightly swollen, and the seat of
a sharp, burning sensation; if the eX-
posure has been prolonged, or the
glare of the sun very intense, it may
even be blistered. After a few days
the soreness and heat subside, and the
red color gradually burns brown. If
the burn is pretty severe, cooling To-
lions, such as alcohol and water, d1-
luted cologne water, a solution of BIZ
carbonate of soda, or lead water, may
be applied, or the skin may be
smeared with cold cream, camphor
ice, zinc ointment, or a mixture of
lime-water and oil. Some such appli-
cation as this, the sufferer being care
full to keep out of the sun for a day
or two, will usually suffice. If blisters
form, they should be pricked with a
clean needle at the most dependent
part, and when the water has drained
away they should be covered with a
cloth spread with one of the greasy
applications just mentioned. Freckles
occur usually on persons of a sandy
complexion, especially those with red
hair. They are not common in very
young children under 6 or s years OF
age, or in persons of middle or adj
vanced life. They usually come in for
the first time in summer. and are less
marked, or even disappear, in winter,
Persons who freckle do not tan, as a
rule. Freckles, like sunburn, may be
prevented by the wearing of a veil
preferably red or brown. Medical
books some time speak of removing
freckles by electricity, or by touching
each one with a drop of carbolic acit
on a glass rod, but such severe RENE
dies are worse than the disease. Th'
