SKILL IN WASHING.
How to Cleanse Handkerchief, Ties
and SILK Blouses.

From the London Express.
Washing is an art, and needs to be learnt
as we'll as anything else. Everybody can
wash after a fashion. but not everybody
can so turn out handkerchiefs, silk
and lace blouses and ties and other wash
able belongings that a professional Iaun-
dress would not scorn to own them as her
work. 1t Is emphatically an accomplish
ment worth learning, If only for the sake
of reducing ones laundry bill.
Dissolved soap is necessity, and is made
by finely shredding a quarter Of pound of
yellow soap into one quart Of water and
boiling 1t till dissolved. A quantity can be
made at one time and kept for use when
required. When washing flannel and wool
en- goods never rub or twist them. Squeeze
for white aanneis) a little ammonia is
added. Wash thoroughly on both sides,
rinse carefully, shake and dry in the air.
not in the sun. Iron when nearly dry with
cool iron
White silk blouses, ties and handkerchiefs
are all washed in the same way. First
steep them In cold water. with a little
boraX added. wash In a lather of warm
water and dissolved soap. rinse well. pass
through slightly blued water, fold in a
clean cloth, pass through the wringer, and
iron on the wrong side when nearly dry
with cool iron. A little methylated spirit
ADDED to the last rfnsing water gives de-
sirabie gloss. A dessert spoonful to a pint
OF water Is ample. For colored silk, do not
blued water If you fear the color will run,
steep 1t In salt and water for a short time,
but be careful to rinse all the salt out be-

count of America.
From Meehan's Magazine
Did you ever watch beans grow? They
come up out of the ground as If they had
been planted upside down. Each appears
carrying the seed on top of his stalk. as If
they were afraid folks would not know
that they were beans unless they imme-
diately told them. In early accounts of
American discovery beans are mentioned az
found among the native tribes. In 1892 Co.
lumbus found beans in Cuba According tn
De Vegas the Indians Of Peru had several
kinds OF beans. In Bancroft's Native
Races the beans Of Mexico are mentioned
De Candolle assigns the Lima bean to
Brazil, where 1t has been found growing
wild. Seeds have been found in the mummy
graves OF Peru. In southern Florida the
Lima bean seed, white biotchcd CT spackled
with red, is found growing spontaneously
In abandoned Inaian plantations
1t has not been found wild in Asia, nor
has 1t any Indian or Sanscrit name. 1t
reached England in 1779. In central Africa
Is not probable that the common kidney
bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) existed in the
old world before the discovery of America
The evidence for the antiquity OF the bean
in America Is both circumstantial and d.
rect, and the varieties were numerous
In 1909 Hudson, exploring the river that
bears his name. found beans. In 1910 Park
inson says: 'The varieties from Africa
Brazil West and East Indies, Virginia,
etc, are endless to recite or useless. only
to behold and contemplate the wonderful
works of the Creator
In the report of the Missouri botanical
garden Of 1901 H. c. Irish gives an exhaust
I've paper upon Garden Beans Cultivated
as Esculents." He gives ten pages of pic
tured beans, reminding one of eighty varie-
ties boy in Vermont collected and carried
to the fair many years ago.
In the United States beans are soaked in
water, then boiled and baked In old times
the Vermont beans were soaked in cold wa
ter over night, then boiled all the forenoon
and baked all the afternoon in brick
bread and Indian pudding. also bit OF salt
pork was added before being baked, the
rind evenly slashed.

Cost Of Boer War.
From the Pan Mall Gazette.

From the Pal Mall Gazette.
The war cost f22s. .O00. 900. which is three
times the cost of the Crimean war; the
people have borne 1t without a murmur;
and this enormous expenditure has no whit
impaired the credit of the united kingdom.
Could Germany have achieved this result,
or France, or Russia? No. Financially the
United States of America might have been
equal to the task. but there is not a single
mower on the continent of Europe which
il would not have ruined. In any one OF
them the expenditure would have bred riots.

even as England has never gloated over her
military successes in the great extremity
with which she was recently beset. so she

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
Enormous Increase in Volume Of
Travel From East to Colorado.
(Denver Post.)


The minds of eastern railway man
ayers have been greatly disturbed by
the efforts of the western lines to
make Colorado the Mecca of the
pleasure seeker, and some decided
steps to divert travel from the east to
the Rockies have been proposed.
The low rates from Chicago and
eastern points to Colorado originally
proposed and made effective by John
Sebastian, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Rock Island
route, have created an increase in
volume of 700 per cent in the vol
ume OF summer tourist travel, and
plan to inaugurate low rates from st.
Louis, Chicago and like points tev
eastern resorts. on a basis similar to
that made effective by western lines.
is now being considered by eastern
trunk lines.
The Rock Island officials are max
ing great efforts to exploit Colorado's
natural advantages, climatic and 9th
erwise and have prepared several in.
teresting booklets on the subject.
One devoted exclusively to camp
life in the Rockies gives detailed in
formation as to favorable locations
for camps, necessary equipment and
clothing. where it may be obtained,
cost. etc. compiled from data fur
nished by Major S X. Hooper of the
Rio Grande system
These booklets will have very
large distribution throughout the
east, and will, it is hoped assist ma
terially in increasing still further the
volume of business to Colorado dur
ing the summer months.
1t is now too late to stem the tide
The eastern people know what per-
feet rest Colorado can offer the tired
brain worker, and as long as the Rock
Island and other lines continue their
present policy they will come to the
Rockies by thousands.
