The Home Laundry.

Rain water is always best for
washing clothes, but if this cannot
be obtained, little ammonia added
to the water will soften it, and a
tablespoon for every gallon of water
is about right. Many housekeepers
use tank water for washing purposes
and n great many use alum to clari-
IS it when it is muddy but better
eav is to use salt and the yolk of
oHe egg. For one barrel of water
use one tablespoonful of salt and
sir It in the barrel of water. This
.i.l clarity any kind Of water and
it will be perfectly clear in few
hours. A clothes-pin apron is a
great help If worn when hanging
out clothes and TO keep the pins in
when not in use. The apron is made
by turning up a hem nine inches
wide on the right side and stitching
across twice to make pockets for
holding the pins. If the flannels
are always washed by themselves
in nice clean pearli"e suds prepared
especially for them, it will do much
toward keeping them soft; and If
both colored and white fannels are
to be washed they should be washed
separately. First shake well, then
wash in the suds by rubbing between
the hands and not on the wash board,
and after rinsing in a light suds,
stretch the garments thoroughly and
hang over the line and press before
they are quite dry with moderately
hot irons. H. NJ

 'If mistake not the justness and pa triotism of the American people. such censure will not meet the public approval but will be condemned by the American mind, and he will be as true to this hero as we have been to others.

Question May Cause Crisis in Affairs of the Pan-Ameri-
 can Conference
CHILL IS DETERMINED TO
 PREVENT COMPULSORY PLAN
Argentine and Peru Join Issue With Them, and While They Fight United States Delegates Are
 Keeping Hands Off.

Mexico City, December 31.-Ths dead continues. The Chilian delegates want to prevent the compulsory plan from be- ing reported to the conference at all, whereas the Argentine and Peruvian delegates affirm that they will not ad- here to The Hague convention unless their compulsory plan also has the honor of public presentation to the confer ence. The United States delegates stand aside, and while having nothing to do with the compulsory plan, have no ob- jection to letting the Peruvians and Ar genuine have their way The Chilians have been asked why they do not imi- tate the example of the United States. seeing that the compulsory plan, inas- much as they will not join 1t, can not affect them.
 The difficulty seems to be one of
 'amour propre' at the present time. Both Chlli and Peru sent their ablest men here. They are all largely in politics and they feel that their political reputation is at stake on the extent to which they can make their respective views of arbitration prevail on this conference. They were sent for that specific purpose, the Peru vians to bring, if possible, an advanced scheme of arbitration before the confer ence and to secure it's sanction or the sanction of some of its members thereto. The Chilians, on the other hand, came here determined to prevent the introduce tion of compulsory and retrospective ar bitration in any form according to their declaration made before the assembling of the conference. They know that such a plan, as long as they do not sign it, can never bind them, but so sensitive, are they on the subject that they say the delegations who favor the compulsory plan must sign it outside of the confer ence.
 The Chilians, it is claimed, are afraid that If the plan Is reported to the con- ference an attempt will be made to dis tort the facts abroad and to create the impression in the United States and Eu- rope that the Pan-American conference has declared itself for compulsory arbi- tration, and that will be used as weap- on against their nation in the future. So wrought up are both sides that a crisis in the affairs of the conference Is not improbable within a day or two. While the United. States delegates stand on one side, the Mexicans are working hard to bring the two factions together so that at least the adherence to The Hague con yention will be unanimous.
