TO remove fruit, tea. coffee or choco-
late stains, spread the stained cloth over
a bowl and pour boiling water through

For an ink stain that is still fresh soak
the cloth in milk, changing the liquid as
often as it becomes discolored. If it is
dry and obstinate, use Javele water or

stand for Il short time, then wash thor
OuClly. If salts of lemon is employed.
place the cloth over a bowl of steaming
water, sprinkle the salts of lemon on the
stain and allow it to stand until it fades
away. Then scale thoroughly.

Pariah Dogs Have Territorial Rp,es

Perhaps the most Interesting and curl
Gus fact concerning these dogs is that
they live in distinct quarters. All the
streets in Constantinople are divided up
into separate dog quarters, which are in
nabited by sets of dogs varying from
from perhaps ten or twenty in number.
The frontiers of each quarter are known
only to the dogs themselves; though one
can get to know them by noticing how
far dog will follow one when enticed
by some food. Each separate colony
guards its colony with the utmost vigi-
lance, and these same creatures which
seem so indifferent to all that goes ON
around them will at once iumn IN and
bark at any strange dog that encroaches
upon their territory. and should the in
truder persist they will set upon him and
chase him out again. One wonders how
the demarcation of these quarters was
hrst arrived at.-London Graphic.

COST OF A PARIS GOWN.
Conditions a Bigger Item of Expense
than Labor and Material.

The actual labor involved in the max
ing Of f120 dress in Paris after it
leaves the cutters hands seldom exceeds
t. But, it may be asked, where does
the rest Of the money go? In the first
place, quite EGO must be allocated to the
chief for his originative genius, his ad-
ministrative talent and the maintenance
OF himself and family. Then before his
aristocratic clients can come in to give
their orders he must provide an expen-
siVe establishment, luxuriously fitted and
furnished in the heart of fashionable
Paris. He must surround himself with
an equally-expensiye staff. composed Of
men and women who, by their suavity
or manner, business experience, talent
ana tact: are competent to satisfy and
even delight the most capricious, friv-
olous, irresolute. ''finical' creatures in
the world. These iteL,s would absorb
another $50. Interest on capital and ON
money outstanding would represent an
ether fS.
Considering that bad debts in these
smart establishments are officially de-
ciared to amount to II per cent. of the
annual turnover, about ETA must be al
lowed for that eventuality. Adding EOS
for the material, the total cost would be
tlU2, leaving 10 per cent, or Els, profit.
