TO WASHCALICCES.
Some Timely Pointers on How to Set
the COIOrs md How to Brighten
the Hues

Calicoes, before they are put In
water, should have the grease spots
rubbed out as they cannot be seen
when the garment is wet. They
should not be washed in very hot
suds, mildly warm water will do even
better and will not extract the col
ors. Soft soap should never be Used
for calicoes excepting for the various
buff and yellow goods. The majority
of calicoes should be rinsed in fair
water and dried in the shade. Pale
pink and pale blue would be bleached
to white if left in the sun to dry.
Colors can be set by washing the
goods in lukewarm water with beef's
gall in the proportion of a teacup-
full to four gallons of water. Rinse
in rain water-no soap being neces-
sary unless the clothes are very
dirty The beef's gall can be kept
several months by squeezing it out
of the skin in which it is incased;
add salt, bottle it and cork tight
Soap must never be rubbed on calico
or lawns; lukewarm soapsuds is used
for more soiled goods.
Black calicoes can be Numbered in
water in which potatoes have been
boiled. A family in mourning, where
several ladies wear sheer black
waists, orders all the water in which
potatoes have been boiled to be saved
to launder the black dresses, pure
cistern water serving for rinsing.
Potato water boiled down to con-
sistence stiffens black goods instead
of starch, as the latter would show
in spots.
A little vinegar in the rinsing

THE PRISONER.

Woe 70 the man who fettered, far away
Shall hear these voices and may not obey;
Hear the pines whisper and the clear
streams say:
"Come back to US, on the free mountain
side;
Where thy heart is, there let thy feet
abide"
Never may he, a slave to duty, reap
A pure content who hears, in waking sleep
The ruffed grouse drumming in the shao-
ows deep;
The leap of trout; and hearing may not go
Back to the hills that have bewitched
him so.
Never may he, though lover true and tried.
BE sure Of perfect peace beside his bride
Who catches in his loves eyes, opened
wide,
The tint Of some well-Ioved, remembered
That lies deep-hidden in the forest cool.
Woe to the man, who walled all about,
May hear these voices calling from with
out;
Hear the pines singing and the torrents
shout:
come back to US, on the wild mountain
where thy heart is, there let thy feet
abide"

SELF-CULTURE AND SUCCESS.
One May BE Millionaire and Yet BE
Ignorant of Books, Art and
Culture.

A man does not need a college edu-
cation in order to succeed in any ordi-
nary business. You may reach a COM
handing position in the commercial
or political world without attaining
high degree of scholarship. You
NAV be successful, in the purely ma
terial meaning of the word, without
a touch of higher culture, without an
appreciation of the nobler things of
life. You may be millionaire, with
great influence in your community,
and yet be almost wholly ignorant of
books, art, music, or travel, writes o.
S. Marden, in Success.
But this is very narrow view of
success. Is the meaning of life not
broadened and beautified by an ex-
pansive mind, a wider horizon, and the
satisfaction of finer culture.
The glory of sunset, the beauty of
2 landscape, or the delicate loneliness
of rose or lily is not necessary to
our mere animal existence, but it adds
much to the sum of the highest things
of life.
Pictures and draperies are not neces-
sary to wall, orie otal rugs to a floor,
or delicate pieces OF statuary and brio
a-brac to the furniture Of a room ;
libraries lined with noble books are
not absolutely essential to bare ex-
istence; a knowledge of the mysteries
and beauties of science, the fascina-
ton of literature, the delights Of
music and art-none of these things
is necessary to the support of life;
but how barren life would be without
them! If we were suddenly deprived
of these things, what could we substi-
tute for them to differentiate our
lives from those of animals?

WASHINGTON. ID. G., May "a, 1902.
The friends Of irrigation are Just
now highly elated by reason of the
promise of the committee on rules
to allow the bill to- come up for con-
sideration in the House during the
first week In June, allowing two
DAYS of general debate and one day
under the five minute rule. While a
close, hard fight is promised, the
westerners are conhdent-at least
hopeful-of success.
The east and eastern people gem
orally, are jealous Of the growing
importance of the west. and the
eastern members Of the congres
slonal majority are in opposition to
any measure calculated TO increase
and augment that importance

President Roosevelt's partisans
have all along declared that while

Mcklnleys mentor and Warwiek,
the present occupant of the White
House would accept no dictation
from the head of the republican
national committee. Just how true
this Is may be imagined by the con
slderatlon of the Rathbone case.
Rathbone was sentenced to fine and
imprisonment for embezxlement In
Cuban postal services, but since
bat hbone had been the OHIO sena-
tors friend IN his senatorial fight.
the senator paid one Of those persua-
sIve calls of his at the White House.
As result the whole judicial ma
ehlnery of the Cuban republic has
been set aside by executive order in
order to estop prosecution and pre-
vent the carrying-out of the sentence
of the court. The wielder of the
'frying-pan that twice won the
presidency is still ll-powerful and
the patronage-seeker and the EN-
bezzler seem to realize it.
All signs point to democratic
majority IN the next house. The
best posted men in both parties seem
to agree upon this point. The rev
elatons concerning the Philippine
war have been very damaging to the
party in power, particularly those in
regard to brutality aad inhumanitv.
Some idea Of the prevalence of tins
un-Ameriean conduct may be CLEANED
from the knowledge that over 400
American soldiers have been court
martIaled. either for gross immoral
ity or brutal treatment Of the Film

seriously divided on the tariff ques-
tion and the breach bids fair not 10
