Some hints from a dyer are surpris-
ing. One of these is that as a rule the
poorest silk dyes better than a richer
quality; also that any silk takes light
colors most successfully. The best sat
isfaction is given in all wool fabrics
which dye beautifully. Silk pushes
cannot be dyed, while woollen ones dye
handsomely. Another bit of informa
ton OF the same line is that the silk
and chiffon l~amp-shades can be clean
ed. AS some of these are very elabor-
ate and expensive, their restoration is
a desirable thing. A new department
in some OF the dyeing and cleaning
houses is that of sulphur-cleaning. This
is intended for all kinds Of household
hangings that become soiled. AS the
process not only restores to the articles
their freshness and purity, but also is
guaranteed to destroy moths, it is use
full for blankets, fur rugs and other
wool materials liable to be moth-in-
tested.

A new way of keeping tomatoes for
winter use: The plan is to gather the
green tomatoes when frost is imminent,
and wrap each n separately in soft
paper; pack them in boxes and store
them in a room secure from frost, but
not very warm. A few can be brought
into a warm room when desired, and
they will ripen in a. few days. Many
who have followed the plan will have
fresh tomatoes until the middle Of the
winter.

attempt to mislead if I failed to say
that there are conditions which act on
ly justify war but make a resort to it a
duty.
No nation, however peacefully in
clined and whatever the consequences
may be, can determine that it will in
no circumstances engage in war. Bad
as it is and deplorable as its incidents
are, no government can refuse war at
the risk Of imperilling its existence or
sacrificing the rights and interests it
holds in trust for its peopIe and for
humanity IN civilization. In view of
such an unacceptable libility to be
brought face to face with the question
ture and demoralizing effect upon one
national life and character, we cannot
fail to be most seriously impressed by
the reflection that we have expressly
authorized those to whom we have in
trusted our public affairs to determine
for us the momentous issue of peace or
war, and that if the determination be
for val our ready and unquestioning
asquiescence becomes patriotism and
the support of our country's contention
becomes good citizenship.
How then shall the people protect
themselves against the folly of a de-
parture from their national purpose,
and against the crime of unnecessary
and unjustifiable war? Manifestly by
an intelligent study on their part of the
character of their Government, and the
exaction of a clear apprehension, on the
part of those who would represent them
in public life, of their nations mission
and of the baleful effect of war upon
their nations health. These consider
atoms emphasize in the strongest pos
sible manner the importance of a lar
ger participation by thoughtful and
educated men in political affairs.
The Duties of Citizenship.
No man can lay claim in a proper
sense to true American citizenship who
pertaining to our Government, who
does not inform himself as to its de-
signs and purposes, or who is not will
ing by actual interference to guard it
against abuses and insidious perver-
sion as well as against open attack.
No one increases his claim to good
citizenship who interests himself in
public matters for purely selfish pur-
poses and to accomplish personal ends.
A man may acquire a knowledge of the
principles of our Government, and use
his knowledge to mislead, and the pre-
tense of devotion to these principles
may mask nothing better than the adj
vocacy of blind and miscellaneous par
tisanship.
If such things constituted good citi-
zenship we might congratulate u
country, lot we udN0 Iuem III dDuu-
dance. Inasmuch, however, as they are
really evils which sadly aflict and en-
danger us, it is of the utmost impor-
lance that there chould be infused into
our body polite the counteracting rem
edy of true, patriotic, unselfish Ameri-
can citizenship.
This grows out Of love of u Gov
eminent. for its SAKE and for what
it does for every citizen. 1t is thought
full and intelligent; it has a clear under
standing of the doctrines up
on which our Government
rests; it rejoices in Ameri-
can traditions; it glories in American
objects and purposes, and is proudly
contented with the accepted mission of
the United States among the nations of
the earth.

Few stains are more obstinate than
the proper treatment they may be re-
moved entirely. Have ready a moder-
ately hot iron and four pieces of blot
ting paper. Put two thieknesses of
the paper on a board and wet the SPOT
thoroughly with benzine. Lay on the
stained cloth. cover with two other
pieces of blotting paper, and press
quickly with the iron. An old stain
may need two or even three applica-
tions to remove the stain. AS benzine
is very inflammable, it must be used
with great care.

carpet. Make pads of these of about
three to four thicknesses of the 5lan-

and cover with a thin unbleached cal
leo. Stair carpets treated like this
will last twice as long as if put down
