As the World Progresses.

The first night when the streets Of
New York were lighted-that was 2O5
years ago-it was done by peremptory
order of the Common Council, which
read as follows: "A lantern must be
suspended from a pole stretched out
from the window of every seventh
house" One hundred and nineteen
years afterward Baltimore raised
great sensation by lighting one of its
streets with gas. Then, thirteen years
after that, New York put on great airs
because one of its citizens constructed
the first locomotive ever seen here.
And that citizen was Peter Cooper,
the great philanthropist.

Wives by Purch ase.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
In parts of Russian Europe. In the
Russian district of Kamyschin, on the
volga, for example, this is practically
the only way in which marriages are
brought about. The price of a pretty
girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from $50 to 500, and in special cases
a much higher sum is obtained. In
the villages the lowest price is about
S25. 1t is customary for the fathers
of the intending bride and bridegroom
to haggle for a long time over the
price to be paid for the lady. A young
farmer whose father cannot afford to
pay for wife for him need not think

ny INFERIOR laundries are RESPONSE

deal of linen which is day after
4 day ruined--not by fair wear and

"a chemicals
The hest way to repair sneetS that
are torn down the centre or near the
centre, is to rip them from end to END
along the middle and then join the
sides together, making these the CEN
tire and the old centre the sides-hem-
ing the latter, of course. In this way
the sheet will probably last fer con-
siderable time.
When the sheet is too far gone to
be any longer servicable there may
yet be certain pieces of it sufficiently
sound to be turned to account as pill
low cases.
In the same way tablecloths that
are partly injured by wear or the wash
can be cut up to serve the purpose or
sideboard cloths or tray cloths.
Soft old linen should never be
thrown away, but be put aside in the
family medicine cupboard, as 1t Is o.
ten most useful as bardages for
wounds and sprains.
A medicine cupboard Is certain to
be handy in any home, and a small
cabinet should be USED for this pur-
pose in which one may stow away
pieces Of old linen, old handkerchiefs,
lotions and ointments, to be handy IN
an emergency. Very often wound or
sprain is healed before the lotion pur-
chased for it is half used. The re-
mainder is frequently wasted for lack
of a medicine chest, the bottle being
left about until it is broken or the
contents spoiled through the cork be-
ing left out.
The careful housewife will make 1t
a rule to look after her linen cup
board periodically, and repair such
linen as needs mendlng.
And linen in which she detects
flaw when in use should, at the end
OF week, be cast aside to be rough
dried and mended. Fresh, starched
damask should not of course, be re-
paired while in it's clean, sti1f state,
nor should sheets from the linen cup
board be mended while fresh, as IN
this way they would be crumpled and
creased before use.
Old sheets very badly torn do nor
repay one for the mending. To patch
them in one place only means That
they will give way in another.
