Salvage Soap.

In a months time quite a sizable
heap Of nubbins accumulates. We sort
the bathing soap from the household
brown article. Melting the latter in
some boiling water, we bottle the solu-
tion and keep it to use in an emergency
wash, particularly of flannel and wool
en- goods. With the better soap we
do noble things We pick out the un-
scented pieces, and to a cupful add
three cupfuls of boiling water, dissolv-
ing thoroughly and adding lastly 5
cents worth of salts of tartar. The
jelly-lile resultant is absolutely unri-
vailed for cleansing rugs and carpets.
Scrub it into the article to be cleansed
and then scrape perfectly dry with a
smooth stick. To the scented bits of
soap add boiling water in the same pro-
portion and a small lump of washing
soda. This mixture will also jelly and
makes an invaluably convenient sham
poo One member of the family, fad
dist, saves her bits of soap to dry to
chips when she pounds them to pow
der and mixes it with bran to make
a bran bath. Another member, phil
anthropic, keeps on hand a decoration
of soapsuds and glycerine, treating the
children to an occasional bubble party.

All housekeepers who look well to
the ways OF their households appreci-
ate the value of stitch in time The
principle inculcated by the proverb
may be carried to all departments of
the house. The household belongings
which are kept continually in order by
being mended as soon as they need
mending cannot suddenly give out and
need to be replaced. Prudent house
keepers keep pot of glue ready to be
melted when needed, cement bottle
for china ,and once a month or once
a week. as it may be convenient, they
repair breakages in china or in furni-
ture. 1t is more trouble to learn to
use a soldering iron, but this can be
done, and when necessary hole in
tinware or in almost any common met
al can be mended. Usually all that is
necessary is to stop leak in time,
so it will grow no larger
1t is an excellent practice to keep
list of everything about the house that
has gone awry. and every six months
at least, if not oftener, see that it is
made right. The best time is just after
the spring and fall housecleaning. II
this is done the house can be easily
kept in order, and at much less cost
than when every repair needed is left
until it has become necessary to the
comfort of the home that it should
be attended to.-New York Tribune.

THE TWO SIDES OF 1T.

There was a girl who always said
Her fate was very hard;
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was debarred.
There always was cloudy spot
Somewhere within her sky;
Nothing was ever quite just right
She used to say, and sigh.
And yet her sister, strange to say,
Whose lot was quite the same, :.
Found something pleasant for herseif
In every day that came.
OF course things tangled up sometlmes'
For lust little while
But nothing ever staid all wrong,
She used to say and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled
Through ali their lives togetheri
It didu't come from luck or fa-e,
From clear or cloudy wea her.
The reason lay W thin their hearts,
And colored all outside;
One chose to hope and one to NOPE,
And 80 they smiled and sighed.

Something About Starch.

1t sounds contradictory to advise
making cold starch with hot water;
but those who have once tried it find
its results most satisfactory. This does
not necessarily mean that the water
must be boiling hot, but comfortably
warm.
Starch made in this way works much
better than that made with cold water.
little salt added to cold starch is an
Improvement, preventing it from stick
ing to the iron.
1t is always better to let clothes re-
main rolled some time after starching
them, as they will then iron much
better. If after these precautions you
find the starch inclined to stick to
the iron, it is because it is too stiff

latest that has appeared and has the
advantage of being graceful and be-
coming as we'll as smart, as shown
in the fashionable May Manton
model, while the fan pleat can be
omitted and the flounce made plain
when preferred. The material which
the original is made of is camers hair
in a rich golden brown, with the
edges simply stitched, but all materials
used for gowns and odd skirts are ap-
propriate.
The upper portion is cut in three
pieces and Is fitted snugly about the
hips, the fulness being laid in inverted
pleats. The flounce Is narrow at the
front, but widens suddenly to run well
up at the back, making a specially de-
sirable model for wide fabrics. The
fan pleat Is n novel and fashionable
feature, besides which, 1t adds to the
flare and freedom about the feet, but
when desired the founce can be made
plain.

dunn size eight and half yards of
material twenty-one inches wide, six
and three-quarter yards twenty seven
inches wide, five and half yards for

WORK OF THE A. & NJ. COLLEGE.
Annual Report Of President Winston
industrial Education il Great DE- =
maud.

In his report 10 the Legislature on
the condition OF the North Carolina
College of Agriculture ana Mechanic
Arts. President Winston SAYS that
there is large and growing demand
for industrial education, and that this
demand is bound to increase for many
years to come.
He says. 'sThe rapid growth Of
manufactures in our State. the Ger
tainty of further increase and multi
plication, the opening up OF new in
dustries, the utilization Of water
power by mechanical or electrical
tran smission, the development of in
tensive and diversified agriculture.
especially trucking, fruit growing,
stock-raising, aud dairying, the setting
up and management of electric plants
for light and power, Of water works,
ice plants, cold storage. laundries.
and other small industries requiring
machinery, are creating large and
increasing demand for engineers,
draughtsmen, electricians, machin-
lists, mechanics, textileworkers,
dairy-men, stock-men and farmers.
The demand is far greater than the
supply. 1t is our duty to meet this
supply, and We are striving to do so;
but we lack teachers. tools, machinery
and buildings"
The A. & M. College is a college
for the people and for the times. 1t
teaches DO VS. to work and produce
wealth. 1t ought to have thousand
students. Every county should have
at least ten boys there. AS this col
lege is the only one in the State Civ
ing industrial education, it should
be well equipped for instruction in all
industrial lines. 1t needs a textile
building, a chapel, dormitories for
students, a machinery building and
additional equipment Of tools and
machines. All these wants should
be supplied. The College is good
financial investment, and the State
should keep it UP to the proper stand
ard of efficiency.

WHAT North Carolina really needs
is such great educational revival as
will arouse all the whites to a good
understanding OF what is their real
duty to their children and the State.
A long time ago, as we recall, the
Messenger writing Of the kind of super
intendent needed for our people,
among other most important ques-
tions required, said he should be a
great popular speaker so he could
begin an educational canvass in Cur
rituck, and continue it until every
county had been visited and the peo-
pie had been so aroused by his elo-
quence that a general movement for
educating the masses would begin.
We pointed to Zebulon 3. Vance, the
real Tribune of the people, as the one
man to accomplish successfully such
a great task. Bnt no Paul Pryesim
