CLEANING FEATHERS.
Very Few Know That They Can BE
Washed, Whenever 1t May lie
Needed. Just Like Clothes.

The old-fashioned feather bed, once
so popular, has been steadily on the
decline for some time, as many claim
that feathers are hotbeds for germs,
and breed all kinds of disease. There
may be some truth in the theory,
but the prejudice is, no doubt, great.
ly exaggerated. Our grandmothers
for the most part slept on feather
beds several times as large as the
ones now in use, yet many of them
enjoyed excellent health and lived to
a ripe old age. Feathers are unde-
niably very comfortable in winter,
and delicate persons and those who
suffer greatly from cold should use
them If they are aired regularly
and given hygienic care there is no
danger. 1t is commonly believed
that feather beds should be summed,
but such is not the case, as the heat
of the sun draws out the oil in feath-
ers and gives them rancid odor;
air them in the shade, it does not
matter how cold it is, provided there
is no dampness. Many are not aware
that feathers may be easily and sue
cessfully washed, thus insuring thor
ough cleanliness and disinfection, at
stated periods or after illness. To
wash a feather bed, it is more con-
yenient to divide the contents by
emptying them into two large sacs
made of coarse cotton. Have ready a
tub of boiling hot suds to which has
been added two or three tablespoon
fuls of powdered borax. lmmerse
the bag in the water and stir with a
clothes stick until the feathers are
quite clean. Then dip in a second
tub of warm, clear water and rinse
in the same manner. In warm wealth
er there is no difficulty in drying
them, but in winter they should be
hung in a warm room. or better
still, near a hot air pipe or register,
and left for some time before thev
are again used. Pillows NAV be
treated in the same way and are
much easier to manage.-E. r. Park

Look out, john" said the owner
quietly; she's getting ready"
The man addressed folded the
knot over without reply.
Upstream the jam creaked,
groaned, settled deliberately for
ward, cutting a clump of piles like
straw.
"She's coming!" warned the owner
"Give me every second you can," re-
piled Walsh, without looking up. He
was just making the last turns.
The mass toppled slowly, fell into
the swift current and leaped with
roar. The man in the waist of the
tug watched with cat-like attention.
"Jump aboard" he cried to the
man on the boom, and his raised
hand descended at last.
With the motion the two axes sew
cred the mooring lines, the wheel
whirled, the little craft shot from its
leash like a hound. And so fine had
they cut it that the first logs
smashed their stern rail! But the
opening was closed.

DOOR THAT NEVER STICKS.

Mr.. Moore has obviated all this trou-
bic by the use Of common One-quar-
ter-inch carriage bolt, and the door
is opened and closed with ease, no mat
ter what the weather may be. The
entrance hole TO the coop should be
circular and about ten inches across,
while the door must be about one inch
larger, with one side pear shape, in
which to bore the hole for the bolt on
which the door is hung.
The door rests on a cleat, the up
per side of which just fits the side of
the door. Mr.. Moore has used these
doors double on some of his coops,
one inside. the other out, thus giving
greater protection to the inmates, es-
pecially in the fall and winter months.
In freezing weather the outside door
might stick to the cleat but this trou-
BILE can be avoided by driving two
shiugle nails or screws on each side Of
the cleat for the door to rest on. To
insure the easy working of the door
it would be well to put a washer be-
tween it and the side Of the coop, which
will prevent binding during a rain
storm.-American Agriculturist.

Clean Versus Dirty Eggs.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is difference Of
four cents a dozen between soiled
eggs and those that are sent to mar
ket bright and clean, and it is not
necessary that all the eggs of a ship
ment shall be soiled in order to
make the consignment rank as such.
Even a very small proportion of
soiled eggs in a package will cause
the whole to be rated several cents
below the best market price. The
trampling on the eggs by the dirty
feet of the hens, fresh from the
moist earth of the yard, and the dis
coloration produced. does not affect
the contents, but it gives the eggs
an uninviting appearance, and it is
not expected that people will be in
different to the looks of things which
they buy for their table. Poultry
keepers can, afford to take time to
clean the shells of the eggs which
they send TO market when the failure
to do so means the loss of four cents

STEAMER BEACHED in HARB0R
Oregon Of Alaska Line Springs Leak
and Has Eight Feet of
Water in HoId.

SEATTLE. Wash. June So.-The steamer
Oregon is ashore at Dutch harbor with
eight feet Of water In its hold.
On the voyage north the Oregon began
leaking badly before 1t had passed Van
couver island, and 1t was found necessary
to keep the pumps going constantly to
keep the vessel afloat. 1t reached Nome,
however. with two feet of water in it's
hold and the machinery very badly out OF
repair.
AS soon as the passengers and cargo
were landed Captain Seeley decided that
he could make st. Michael, where the YES
sci could be safely beaehed and repaired.
After leaving Nome the rudder post gave
out and the steamer refused to answer
its helm.
Fortunately the weather was good and
Captain seeley was able to make tempo
rary repairs. AS tine leak had not in
creased and did not appear to be dangerous
he decided that he could reach Seattle in
safety and so did not stop at 81. Michael
With the pumps going continually he found
1t impossible to keep the water down, and
as It was gaining at a dangerous rate h
was compelled TO put into Dutch harbol
and beach the vessel.
The Oregon had some southbound pas
sengers aboard, but the number is no
known. 1t is believed the vessel can b
saved.
