HOW TO CLEAN LACES.
and a Few Hints or the Washing of
Delicate EmbrOideries.

De1lcate EHDrOlOeFieS.
How to .'launder" delicate fabrics is
an art that many a housewife at some
time finds cause to learn. There is
scarcely woman but can tell a sad
tale of dainty linens and costly .laces
ruined at the laundry to which they
were sent, says the Philadelphia North
American. The only safe way is to
have such things done at home by wo-
men under your direct supervision OF
by yourself.
Such clothes, for instance, elaborate
ly embroidered, can be washed so that
they will lose none of their beauty if
it is done in the right way.
Make foaming suds of pure CASTLE
soap in a bowl of water. Wash the
fabric carefully in this, using no boraX
or ammonia or bluing. Rinse in warm
water and finally clap the article Wig
orously in your hands to partially dry
it. Iron it at once on the wrong side,
using for the ironing sheet beneath Il
an old blanket covered with white
cloth. The value of the wooden sheet
is that it allows the embroidery to
press into it's soft surface, and when
the process is completed the design
will stand out in raised effect.
Fine laces, too are invariably endan-
gered when you send them to the clean
ers. If they are not very badly soiled.
they may be easily cleaned at home
with calcined magnesia. Spread the
lace on a white sheet of paper, sprinkle
with the magnesia powder, put another
paper on top and press between the
leaves of book. Leave it for several
days, and then shake out the magne-
STA, which will have absorbed the dirt
and the lace will be found fresh and
clean.

How to Care For "picL."

An equable temperature and immu-
nifty from drafts, with proper food,
will insure the health of a canary. A
cuttlebone upon which to sharpen the
bill and keep it from getting too long
and plenty of gravel are essentials.
The red gravel, because of the tonic
property of the iron in it, is considered
best. Besides the proper mixture OF
seed, which should not contain hemp,
there should be variations of diet in
the way of a yolk of hard boiled
egg, chickweed, watercress, lettuce.
etc. A dash of cayenne pepper blended
with the egg will please the little cpl
cure. Apples and figs are excellent oc-
casionally, but if there is evidence that
too much of these has been given their
effect may be counteracted by bread or
cracker dipped in hot water which has
been poured over black pepper. The
cage should be partially covered every
night to provide against fall of tenn
perature, and it is not well to hang
canaries out of doors and thus subject
them to the sun and wind. Between
August and November is Noting time.
and the birds are particularly subject
to asthma and colds then, although
throughout the year these are the chief
ailments to which they succumb.

Miss Rlnke,s Tnrkexs.


Miss Sallie Blake, who lived in Cal
vert county, Md, like many country
people, was in the habit of gathering
chicken grapes in the fall for the pur-
pose of making palatable and stimu-
lating decoction by pouring over the
grapes the proper quantity of whisky
and allowing the mixture to stand for
the necessary time. 1t happened on
one occasion, after the contents of a
demijohn containing the decoction had
been exhausted, that Miss Blake emp
tied the whisky soaked grapes on the
ground, where her fine brood of turkeys
gobbled them up.
The turkeys became drunk-so drunk,
in fact, that they were soon lying on
the ground. sleeping off their jag. Miss
Blake, not realizing the cause of their
stupor, thought they were dead. In or
der to realize as much as possible out
of the supposed dead turkeys she had

doors. The next morning Miss Blake
was surprised to see her turkeys walk

abe had never seen before. In order
to protect them from the cold she
bought enough red flannel to make
each of them comfortable coat to re-
place the feathers. The turkeys were
soon stalking about wearing their red
coats and were the wonder of all be-
holders Baltimore Sun.

Turkey Hen Make. a Record.

1 have a turkey hen that l think has
broken the record. During the spring
of 1900 l received from Charleston,
ILL.,, nine Mammoth Bronze turkey
eggs. Seven turkeys Matched out. A
dog killed one. | raised three hens
and three toms. The hens had the
range of the farm. One of them laid
close to the house. She laid twenty
eggsand then wanted to sit. put heron
eighteen eggs. She laid three eggs be-
fore the eggs on which she was sitting
Matched out-that is. during the last
week. She laid all the time she was
raising her brood of little turkeys-at
first one egg every other day. then one
every day, then one egg in three days
until she had laid fifty-four eggs, max
ing seventy-four eggs in all.
No small achievement for one hen!
She is a fine. large hen. with bright
pink legs. / have been raising turkeys
fifteen years. but have never before
had turkey like her. The other two
laid at a distance from the house. and
the crows got some of their eggs. Next
year will try to keep record of their
eggs.-Mrs. A. S. Devore in Reliable

The Real State Treasurer.

This is a story of reform, in three
chapters
Chapter 1. Governor Murphy in his
inaugural address urges reduction Of
designated repositories for State funds, and
the selection of such banks as will pay
interest on daily balances.
Chapter H. The Fidelity Trust Com
pany of Newark, for which Senator Nc
Carter is counsel, of which his brother is
president, and in which Senator Dryden ct
al. are interested, advertises that in con-
formity with the views of Gov. Murphy,
as expressed in his inaugural address, on
and after February !, it will allow interest
at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum upon
all balances of 81 900 and over, kept with
it by the State of New Jersey, etc.
Chapter III. Senator MeCarter intro
duces in the Senate bill providing that
the State Treasurer shall hereafter deposit
State moneys in such banks as will allow a
reasonable rate of interest; and further
more providing that the Governor shall
approve Of any choice of a depository and
that no liability shall attach to the treas
urer or bondsmen by reason of loss of pub
lie funds in any bank so designated as a
depository.
The fourth chapter, when written, will
show the Dryden McCarter trust company
of Newark acting as custodian of the State
funds, and Treasurer Briggs reduced to a
merely ornamental and quite dispensab e
part of the State Government.

Notes From Gardening.

The Star strain of petunias will be
introduced the coming season.
The pure white double alth9a APP
pears to be a very useful Towering
shrub.
Unless carnations are wanted for
summer blooming it will be early
enough to take cuttings in January and
February.
On toward spring an azalea may be
brought into flower with very little
forcing on account of nearing the nat
ural Towering season.
The originators of the Timothy Ea-
ton chrysanthemum have both pink
and yellow sports said to be Identical
with that variety except as to color.
L. A. Berckmans says that in Geor-
gia the "Elberta craze" is worse than
ever and that every available tree OF
this variety has been planted this fall.
illustrating what the rural mail route
hccomplishes, we note that on a certain
route in western county upon which
about 100 families are served. of which
but two were taking daily paper
prior to the rural service, there are
now ninety-one daily papers taken, and
the figures show that the correspond
ence of these families has more than
doubled in the same time.

CHESTNUT CULTURE.
Some Causes Which Make the Future
of the Industry Uncertain.

of the Industry Uncertain.
The fact that the large chestnuts like
the Japan, Paragon and others are not
more plentiful in the city markets is
explained in Rural New Yorker by
Pennsylvania growers as probably due
to several causes. The grated trees
have been and are still comparatively
high priced and somewhat uncertain to
grow when transplanted. They seem
to be more particular as to soil than
most trees. Growers hesitate to plant
largely for these reasons. Another rea-
son why the nuts are not more plenti-
ful is that the trees grow slowly, and
the grower must wait quite awhile be-
fore paying crops can be gathered. 1t
requires quite good sized tree to pro-
duce a bushel or even half bushel of
nuts.
The best method of getting a paying
orchard seems to be to graft chestnut
sprouts, as the trees grow much more
rapidly and produce paying crops soon
err. The method has its drawbacks, too,
as considerable cash must be paid out
for keeping underbrush down. We
know of several large tracts on this
plan, but they have all been started
within the last six or seven years, and
only the Oldest of them are bearing
anything like a crop. In our opinion it
will be several years before the market
is well supplied. If they could be
grown as easily as Kieffer pears, the
market would soon be overstocked.
Another drawback to chestnut grow
ing is the weevil and it will be draw
back until some effective method of de-
stroying the insect is found. The grubs
in the nuts can be destroyed by fumi-
eating with carbon bisulphide, but as
some escape from the nut before it
drops there are always enough left for
seed.
The orchards started on sprout land
are generally contiguous to chestnut
timber, where the beetles multiply and
easily find their way to the grated
trees. We are not prepared to say
whether chestnut growing will be a
profitable industry for this country or
not. 1t will require some time, we
think, to solve that problem.

Covcrin- Tree Wounds.

Professor Fred Cards experience is
that, taking all things together, moth
ing seems to be better for covering the
wounds made in pruning than common
lead paint, which is closely followed
by grating wax. The wax is superior
to paint in the matter of healing, but
does not last as well and is not so con-
venient to apply, although in warm
weather, when it works well, there is
little trouble in this regard. Coal tar
is useful in preventing the wood from
checking. but appears to be a positive
hindrance to healing, so that in spite of
the fact that is stays well there is little
to recommend it. Pine tar is no aid to
healing. being apparently a trife detri-
mental. while it helps only slightly in
the matter of checking and does not
last well, therefore it has nothing to
recommend it. Shellac is failure. 1t
does not last, and neither aids the
wound in healing nor to any appreci-
able extent prevents it from check
ing.

LET THE CHILD MAKE thing in this
ITS OWN DESIGNS world. People
who have it generally succeed at the
expense of their ''made by the dozen"
fellow beings. 1t is a mistake to think
that originality is a natural gift, such
as the eye for color or the ear for mu-
sic. 1t isn't anything of the sort. Peo-
pie who have individuality or original
ity usually owe it to circumstance. If
you want your child to have an indi-
viduality which will command success,
if you want him or her to be an orig
inator instead of merely follower of
other people. it all depends on you.
Teach the child from its earliest
years to think for itself; curb every
tendency it shows to initiate it's play
mates; encourage it when it creates
anything, no matter how small; give it
opportunities to create things with
wood, clay, colors. paper and pencil.
Get the little child colored chalks and
blackboard on which it may draw.
but don't give it anything to copy
from. Let it make its own designs.
Always urge the child to do things bet
ter than the ordinary run of people.
In this manner you will train your
child to be leader of men instead of a
follower. HELEN CLIFTON.

Maple sugar and sirup are favorite

gives a general interest to some infor-
nation about the maple sugar industry
which has practical value also for the
sections where this particular kind Of
sugar making prevails. An American
Cultivator correspondent supplies the
following details:
Some sugar places in this immediate
vicinity number over 1000 trees.
The eyaporator is the first and most
