To Wash Blankets.

The finest, heavyweight double blan-
kets require careful handling; strong
arms and capable hands are as eff
cient as machinery in manipulating
them.
First, have tub of suitable size.
the larger the better. A stationary tub
OF large dimensions, with faucets for
turning on hot and cold water, will be
found convenient. Fill the tub half full
of hot water and stir into it the third
or fourth Of box of good washing
powder, making a strong lather. Plunge
the blankets in when the water will
bear the hand in it; not luke warm, but
as hot as the hand can bear is a good
gauge. Throw some kind of a covering
over the tub and let the blankets
steam, until the water is barely luke
warm. Then dip the blankets up and
down and squeeze it with both hands
from one end to the other.
Drain off the water and go through
the process of steaming a second time,
making the lather of less strength than
the first time by using less washing
powder. Be sure and squeeze every
discolored or soiled place, and turn and
down and around in the suds. One ia
nous blanket washer in New Orleans
used to make her two boys get in the
tub, with clean, bare feet, and tramp
the blankets.
The third water, as hot as the other
two, will rinse the blanket clean and
free of the suds. Do not wiring them,
but pin them to a strong, high clothes
lire, spreading the blankets length
wise and letting them dry thoroughly
in the wind and sun. Sun them all the
next day, too.
Cedar closets and cedar chests ought
to be provided for storing blankets and
other woolens. No moth or other in
sect ever enters cedar-line closet or
chest.-Written for the Times-Union
and Citizen.

vantage in getting clothes this way,
and that is, it precludes experiments.
The wearer can see how they will APP
pear, and how they will like their
"make-ups," and avoid all future spec
ulation and, perhaps, bitter disappoint-
ment in the end. This is the most ex-
pensive way to dress, but it is fast
becoming the most popular, and the
old superstition that clothes of this
pattern are not as we'll made is untrue
and fast being dissipated.

GREAT STORM CENTERS
IN THE UNITED STATES

Something of the Reasons Why Cyclones
Are Generated Where They Are.
There are several reasons for believing
that this continent is the peculiar theater
for the interchange between the heat and
the cold of the Northern hemisphere, and
that the Euro-ASian continent plays a
very different role in the meteorological
economy of this hemisphere. For it is
well known that while the American con-
tinent is the place for the profuse gener-
alton of cyclones, Europe is the region for
their dissipation, and in Asia very few
cyclones occur except along the ocean
borders.
It has been shown that the currents
which are especially concerned in forming
cyclones are contained for the most part
within two or three miles of the ground,
though their accompanying effects may
extend much higher. Hence, any barriers
which tend to defect the flow of the lower
strata, must strongly influence the forma-
ton Of the cyclones themselves.
The great range of the Himalaya noun
barrier to the flow of the. tropical and
polar currents in that region, and the
result is that true cyclonic movements
are almost excluded from the interior of
mountain range, stretching north and
south along the western districts Of North
America, favor the counter flow from
the tropics and the polar regions by de-
les toward the north, and the eastward
drift of the higher ATTITUDES toward the
south.
The same tendency is favored by the
location of the high pressure belt in the
latitude of 80 degrees, which causes
high pressure area to form over the mid
die Atlantic ocean, while the Rocky noun
tain range breaks through the midst of it.
The result is to produce a powerful
anticyclonic center Of action over the At
Iantic ocean, which maintains strong
In
dies toward the interior Of the continent.
These conditions are constant incentive
to the formation of countercurrents which
territory, with the result that rs per cent
or so per cent of the storms of the North
ern hemisphere are generated in these dis
tricts.-By Prof. Frank II. lBigelow, of the
Department of Agriculture, in New York
News.

Tuscan Brides Wear Jasmine.

There used to be a custom Of strew-
ing flowers before the bridal couples as
they went to the church and from the
church to the house.
Suppose the way with fragrant herbs
were strew1ng,
ALI things were ready, we to the church
were going,
And now suppose the priest had Joined
our hands,
Is a quaint old verse that refers to
this custom The Persians introduce a
tree at their marriage feasts laden
with fruit, and it is without the BRIDE
groom observing. If successful they
must present the bridal couple with a
gift a hundred times the value Of the
object removed. In Tuscany brides

Pedro proudly, But for friend

Don't think me disrespectful," VEN
tured Clifford, hesitatingly, but I
should like at least the head of that
statue"
1t was some time before Pedro could
trust his voice. His fingers were itch
ing to clutch the sharp knife concealed
beneath his coat, but he realized that
this was not the place to use 1T. He
would wait for an opportunity, and
then this Americana ladrone would be

Clifford, "but I can't enter the church
after dark. You could do it, Pedro,
and not be noticed"
"I will try" said the Spaniard, when
he had sufficiently recovered control Of
his voice.
: "a thousand thanks" said the elated
American, and slapping him playfully
on the back, he asked: Wont you
have another bottle?"
But Pedro intimated that it was time
to return to the church.
When they started across the Bridge
of Spain it was quite late, and Pedro
noted carefully that, with the excep-
ton Of the American sentries at either
end, the pdace was deserted. The Pa

dro, when they reached the middle.
Tide here is strong enough to suck a
boat underneath"
Clifford bent to look over into the
myriads Of little whirlpools scintilating
in the moonlight. Pedro saw his
chance, bent suddenly, selling him by
an ankle, hurled him into the treach-
erous water with a quick, upward jerk.
There was splash, too faint to be
heard by the sentries, and Pedro, lean
Ing over, saw one wild hand thrust out,
only quickly to disappear. Then the
Spaniard lit cigarette, and, crossing
to the other end Of the bridge, passed
the sentry with an extremely polite
''Buenas noches."
Rack to the little side altar he went,
quite easy in mind. you are mine

he whispered exultantly, as he thrust
his hand into the clinking coins.
But the wooden lady only smiled r.

Womanf the Real Humorist.

A contributor to the Atlantic dis
coursing with uncommon frankness on
the subject of American humor, ar
rives at the conclusion that we are
unduly prone to exalt the mere jest,

pense of that large humer which is
permanent treasure and blessing Of
life. Apropos of this conviction he Of
fers tribute to woman, who is not, he
believes, half so much a goose in the
matter of humor as man has been dis
posed to consider her. Her frequent in
sensibility to jokes does not mean that
she is blind to then1-she sees them
we'll enough, but sees also that they
are not worth the uproarious mirth
with which man greets them. Perhaps

The housell eeper of q large motel IN
the East. who began her career IN
Homework in a private family, says
that there are a number of reasons,
and some very good ones, why girls
prefer working in hotels and factories
rather than in private homes. Inc
social scale is a queer, lneXoraple
thing" she said, "and that part OF 1t
which applies to girls who work IN
private families and those VINO work
in hotels has decreed that the latter
shall stand first. Just so the factory
girl stands a little above the hotel
girl"
This rating, she says, forms one OF
the principal reasons why good do
mestics are scarce. But she advances
other reasons. Of course, in private
family the girl has little time which
she can really call her own, ana IN
hotel she has regular hours, regular
duties and regular means IN pI Al
vate home a girl is called upon TO 90
all sorts of things from early morning
until late at night.
In a hotel girl has certain work to
do She keeps the rooms on one floor
In order-f1fteen rooms on an average
sweeps and dusts them, makes the
beds, etc. Another girl is employed
to take care of the halls. When this
work is done the girl has the remainder
of the time to herself.
In private families the hours are
much longer. In hotel the girIs work
begins at 7 a. m, and the girl is on
duty until p. m. She reports at
for her supper, and her evenings are
her own. In private homes work as
a rule, commences at $50 a. m. ana
often lasts until late in the evening.
Better Treated in Hotels.
The hotel girls have better sleep
Ing accommodations, with but lew eX-
ceptions. They have comfortable
rooms, which are usually shared py
two girls. with two beds. In private
homes there is a decided inclination to
stow the servant away in any cubby-
hole that is by courtesy called room,
often poorly ventilated and offering no
attrac for the girl who occupies
it.
= There is another objection urged
against working for families. In PIT
Vate homes the servant is anSWeraple
TO every member of the household for
her work. In a hotel the girls are all
responsible to the housekeeper alone.
This houselIeeper certainly has pre-
scented some very plausible reasons Tor
the scarcity of good domest1cs. VI
course a girl does not have the nome
that she does in a private family, anu
in many cases there are girls VINO nave
real friends in their mistresses, but
this is the exception. Girls cannot be
blamed for preferring to have some
time to themselves, and the sooner
women who employ domestics realze
this. the sooner the question Will De
solved.
IF some way could be devised by
which domestic servants might have
regular hours and regular duties, the
question, why are good servants so
scarce need not be asked.

he adds: at is dull and hasty guess
that because Of this difference in taste
Miss Austen's sex is deficient in hu-
NOR He offers various modern in
stances in support of his assertion that
a very large part of the work done
in legitimate humor for the past FEW
years by Americans has been done
by women. He might have strengthen
ed his case by marshaling various fig
ures from the era just departed. Mrs.
Stowe was the first of a small but not

The Feather Boa.
1t has long been a popular impress
sion that the feather boa originated in
Paris, the birthplace of SO many fas-
cinatlng creations for enhancing Wom-
ans beauty, says Fancy Goods, Fa-
brics and Notions.
The cradle of the feather boa, how
ever, was feather factory in Third
street, in this city, and it first saw
light in 1887, when a girl employed
there sorting over a lot of plumes that
had been sent back damaged, strung
them for her own amusement.
A member of the firm CHANGED to see
the result pronounced 1t good, and the
feather boa was born.
The first boa sold was bought by
Lillian Russell. 1t was pink, formed of
sixty plumes, and was worn by her
on the stage in that year.
The ostrich feather trade OF
America can Justly lay claim to the
creation of this novelty, as it can OF
many others that have become the
ruling shien."-Philadelph In

THE DREAMER.

The poet only looks Love in the eyes;
He knows the meaning of the mystic
signs,
The frenzied tears, the dream, the
mad desire
That starves upon the lips it satisfies.
o Love, the music of thy vibrant hair!
Thy look is perfume on the amorous air
Thy breadth a veil of light to hide my
soul,
Thy touch q dream of rapture drowned
in prayer.
o dear fair head between my fevered
hands,
o deep, adoring eyes! The very sands
In Times faint fingers listen at your
lips
Only the Dreamer ever understands!
