steam laundries and accompany one

great laundries in the country, by the
way. but there is one in New York
which occupies six-story building

On the first floor front is the Office
with row Of bookkeepers, bill clerks

are employed day after day doing moth

ing each piece with its appropriate num-
ber in indelible ink, which is refreshed
every time it fades; sorting the stock
and throwing it into huge baskets. All
the starched goods are then placed in
baskets by themselves; the fancy laun-

other speciality, while large, plain

clothes at moderate, perfectly dry and

Now comes the mangle or the plan

wisdom of having sorted the clothing
in advance when the starch was still
in it becomes apparent; for a process
Of sorting at this stage with all The

The mangles are used for plain ironing;
they are of different sizes, some of them
over story in height. and resembling
in many ways great printing press.
The linen is fed in at one end, passes
over a series of steam-hcated rollers, in
and out and over again, until 1t is
caught up at the further end, and neat
~ folded in the shape desired. Like the
press in printing Office, the mangle is
the largest and most expensive piece
of furniture in laundry, costing some
times thousands Of dollars. Smaller
mangles are used for smaller pieces,
though sometimes these are fed dozens
at time into large machine.
Starched goods go from the drying
room to the starcher. This is a simple
machine, which takes one piece at 4
time, floods it with starchy fluid, and
then presses it down with fine gloss.
In the finest steam laundries hand work
is used in addition. From the starcher.
the shirt or collar goes to the ironer.
the moistener, the collar turner, the

DRAFT HORSE POINTS


Size is an important item in the
draft horse, provided, of course,
that his disposition is such that his
size and strength can be used to ad-
vantage.
The 1900 or ,a0o-pound horse can
not draw the load that the 1,s00- pound
horse can, so that the buyer of good
draft team usually wants them as
large as possible. provided they are
as good as they are big.
While there will always be consid-
ersble difference Of opinion among
buyers on minor points. in general the
main points will be similar.
The neck should be deep, but not
too thick ABOVE, and should appear to
be a part of the animal rather than
stuck on. The head, neck. ears, and
indeed, the whole horse, should indi-
cate kindliness, intelligence, energy
an6 vigor.
The shoulder must be strong and
muscular, and should stand at nearly
right angles. as he will thus get hold
of his load better. In coach or car
riage horse slipping shoulder is de-
sirable, but not so in heavy draft
horse. While the leg should be clean
below. it should be well muscled ABOVE,
with strong. well-defned tendons, es-
pecially behind. and gracefully thick
ening and widening up the arm and
thigh, until their outlines are lost In
q symmetrical arch at their connection
with the body. Such formation sets
the legs under the horse. rather than
stuck ON his sides and ends like the
legs of trestle. A horse may get
al.,ng if he is little loose in front
but any sweakne<S sbehinay units him
for draft purposes An open gait be-
hind is often desirable in trotter, but
q draft horse must travel with his legs
under him. rather than spraddled.
The hind legs are the fulcrum upon
which the power and the load must
rest in heavy draft horses. and it is i'm
portant that they be in the best posi-
tion of correct formation. A deep
wcll-srrung rib makes room for large
healthy vital organs. A large. sound

feedlng quaiit.- while being well
ribbed denotes an easy keepea.

linen is stirred around for several
hours with the fumes Of microbe kill
ing disinfectants passing to and into
them.
Then the same two men take the linen
ont Of the chamber and begin some
more sorting. There are now three
piles Of it, the dirty linen, the very
dirty, and the dirtiest, filthiest Of all.
You ought to see some Of the stun In
that third pile.
Essentially the process of cleaning
the clothing in the three dirty heaps is
the same. But each is subjected to q
CORES spondingly severe process, while in
tie washing Of the dirtiest, chemicals
are thrown in sometimes in profusion
and the clothes are tossed about like
the football Of an eastern college team.
First these clothes are placed in a
washer" so called. This is as different
from John Chinaman's washtub as =
locomotive from horse cab. There is
4 row Of IL washers run by series Of
belts, which lead down to an electric
machine in the basement. Circular
boxes about six feet il diameter revolve
at rapid rate, tossing the clothes in
side from side to side. On the inside
there are spokes and broad days, which
catch hold Of the linen and shake it
thoroughly in the inside Of foam Of
soapy water. The time for washing is
differently regulated, according to the
d:rtiness Of the linen. After awhile,
the soapy water is drained OF and
clean water is put in, the revolutions
continuing at lower rate. When At
last the wster comes out clear, the
linen is taken out. N&

Sheep raising affords profit aside
from the wool produced. But many
farmers seem totally blind to this fact.
They do not seem TO consider that the
sheep is mutton producer az well as
wool producer. and that mutton has q
good cash value. Time will come when
there will be growers for both muttor
and wool, each specializing. This is
true to-day to some extent. There are
special wool and distinct mutton types,
though good many sheep raisers seek
= breed combining both qualities. How
ever, either type Is valuable for more
than its one special product-wool or
mutton, and in orde1to secure the larg-
estprofit from sheep breeding attention

So long az the dairy cows prove by
their works that they are entitled to
the feed given them, 30 long rs they
keep balance on the right side Of the
ledger, it is unwise to discard them. a
paying cow is better than one that in
time may be . paying member. Of the
dairy herd. What the dE;ryman wants

Many cows ut the age Of ~ or over

the reasoning powers of their elders.
Care should be taken that no oil med
icine touches the lips, and it is a good
plan when such medicine has to be
taken to moisten the nlouth-not the
lips-with water previously. After TAX
ing bitter drugs-such as quassia, qui-
nine, strychnine, etc.-tle persistent
taste is best removed by masticatirg
and swallowing small pieces Of dry
bread This wipes and cIeanses the
back of the tongue and cleans away the
nauseous taste.
Many medicines offend more by their
smell than by their taste. Where such
is the case the nostrils should be closed
with the fingers before the medicine
comes within range of the olfactory
sense and kept closed until the draft or
powder is swallowed. One can quite
understand the unwillingness of child
to swallow a preparation of valerian or
asafetida which has been held right
under it's nose for a few minutes.
Again, there are medicines which must
be we'll diluted before they can be swal-
lowed, such as sulphuric ether or spirits
of ammonia. etc. If given in a concen-
trated condition. the sensation of chok-
ing is dangerous to the patient and dis
tressing TO the nurse, and such med
icines should not be given without full
directions from the doctor or dispenser
OF the drug.

~ monotonous to most of US. The
appearance of greater space in a
circular room of like area would not
by any means compensate for the loss
Of variety that angles in a square or
rectangular room impart. The break

mits the introduction of that constant
variety, united with similarity. which
IS the basis of all opportunities for dec
orative beauty.
Probably the most difficult parts of
the room TO finish off suitably are these
same corners. All sorts of furnishing
devices in the shape of oriental hooks
and corr spending absurdities have
been introduced with view of dispos-
ing of unsightly spaces; but, as a rule
the result has been worse than the
evil. for to the eye of good taste an
oriental nook in modern room is an
incongruity sadly contrary to the spirit
Of art. Oriental corners are all very
well in oriental rooms, but the spirit
Of the best architecture has been that
a house. even in its interior decora-
tons. should conform to the prevailing
palmer idea. For instance, in the old
Italian palaces there is an abundance
Of slender marble columns. delicate
marble carvings, sumptuous marble
stairways and pillared marble alcoves
whose spacious windows looked out on
fount2ined rose gardens. This was we'll

Of prying eyes. Throughout the more
princely domiciles there were every

where no one trusted even his brother.
