SPOTS AND STAINS.
How They May BE Removed without
InJuring the Fabrics.


Stains upon silk or stuff or fancy
frock beyond laundry possibilities may
be got rid of thus: Fold cheesecloth
square thickly and lay it smooth upon
the board. Over that stretch the stain
ed stuff smoothly, right side down. If
there is lining, rip it so as to get at
the undersiGe. But first brush, not
only the stain, but the whole garment
thoroughly, so as to remove all the in
visible dust and prevent the cleansing
from leaving an ugly circle, worse than
tie spot itself. Pour little alcohol
through the spot and dab the place
hard with n soft, clean rag. Shift the
spot over fresh place on the cheese
cloth and pour on more alcohol, using
just enough to drench the spot itself
without spreading. Do this two or
three times, then hook on the right
side.
Greasy and resinous spots, as those
Of machine oil, wagon greese, tar, pine
cleaned right side down on the folded
cloth. Wet them first with the alcohol,
next very plentifully with turpentine
and last of all with benzine. Between
each wetting shift the spots over a
clean space. Pour everything in very
small but steady stream, so it shall go
right through the spot, but not much
outside it. After wetting rub hard
a minute with soft rag. When the
cloth underneath shows white, turn
the spot over and wipe the right side
quickly with a clean rag wet in alco-
hol. Dry quickly in the sun if posi-
BILE. Let the garment air for six hours,
then cover the spots, upon the wrong
side, with damp not wet, cloth and
press with a very hot iron. If the
spots want stiffening, dip toothbrush
lightly in gum arabic, hold it six
inches above the wrong side Of the
cloth and pass the finger across it, so
as to spatter the gum in fine spray
where it will do the most good; then
let the garment lie few minutes be-

THANKSGIVING DAY.
WE SHOULD MAKE OF 1T A SEASON
OF REJOICING.

Our Festival at the Ingathering of
the Fruits Is an Imitation of the
Feast of Tabernacles-Eat of Gods
Bounty and Remember the Poor.
Praise for the goodness of God is
never out of place and never unseason-
able, but it is especially appropriate on
days set apart by official appointment
to notice the mercies which have fol-
lowed us, the blessings which we have
enjoyed, the kind interpretations which
have been made in our behalf, the
bounties which have been bestowed
upon us in order that we may render
again to God for all his benefits with
festive joy and heartfelt thankfulness.
The establishment Of a day of
Thanksgiving in the late autumn, after
the ingathering of the fruits, was made
by the early settlers of New England,
in imitation of the feast of tabernacles
held by the Jewish nation. 1t was a
wise and pious act, and it's adoption
by most of the states and at length by
the general government of this broad
land is an evidence Of the diffusion Of
those religious sentiments which were
at the foundation of the settlement of
this country
We may welcome this annual thanks
giving today with the added interest
which venerable custom has thrown
around it, with the pleasing memories
which early associations weave about
our former celebrations of it, with the
recollections Of absent friends who
have shared it with US, the reunion of
families, the merry laugh of children,
the pleasure of parents and hail its adj
vent as day of sacred and social joy.
1t should be observed with happy
hearts and cheerful voices, and for
the time at least the sigh of sorrow
should be hushed and the tear of grief
restrained while full scope is given to
all the kindlier emotions Of our nature.
Let us crowd into its flying hours the
pleasant memories of the past, the hap
piness of the present and the fairest
prospects of the future and make it a
bright and gladstone day.
Let us MAKE II, SO lar as we CALL Il
day of grateful rejoicing, and, while we
partake freely of the bounties of the
year, give loose rein to the sweet SYM
pathies of humanity and dispense with
a liberal hand and benevolent spirit
to those that have need, so that the
voice Of gladness may be heard in
every dwelling. In imitation Of the
| time honored custom of our fathers
and in obedience to the language of
Scripture, let us "eat the fat and drink
the sweet and send portions to them
| for whom nothing is prepared"

A Game For Thanksgiving.

n tame FOr InanksRtVtnBs
A potato race is a good game to aid
the digestion of the Thanksgiving din
ner. Take ten good clean potatoes, as
round as possible, two vegetable dishes
and two tablespoons. Place the pota-
toes in two parallel rows Of five each,
three feet apart, leaving broad space
between the BOWS. Place a vegetable
dish at the head of each row. Divide
the company into two squads and equip
each leader with spoon. Appoint a
timekeeper to keep tally.
When time is called, each leader darts
down his respective line, the object be-
ing to gather up the potatoes. one at a
time, on the spoon, without touching
them with the. hands, and to carry
them to the dish and place them In 1t.
The one who finishes first wins the
prize, and the next In line gets the
spoon. By the time that all have gone
through the experience considerable
hilarity has developed and all have a
voice In the fun.
