WASHING OF CURTAINS.
IAN Item of Domestic Information
Particularly Useful In House,
Cleaning Time.

Thin curtains madras, bobbinet,
muslin or Nottingham lace--should be
shaken free of dust, washed in warm
suds, squeezing and laying up and
down in place of rubbing, boiled,
rinsed, blued or yellowed, lightly
starched while still wet and dried as
quickly and as straight as possible.
Instead of ironing haste broad hens
at top and bottom and run into each
stout, smooth curtain pole, as long as
the curtain is broad. Stretch the cur
tain upon the pole, at each end, then
hang up, sprinkle well and let dry. The
weight of the lower pole will straight
en- and smooth it. Repeat until all the
curtains are dry, then rip out the hens
and press lightly with warm, not
hot, IRON If there are wrinkles or
cat faces, after hanging the curtains,
wet those spots and pull down hard
on them Usually they will dry out
as smooth as need be. Ruffied curtains
can have the ruffles fluted after coming
off the poles. Take carethat the poles
are very smooth and stout enough not
to spring, says the Washington Star.
Real lace curtains after washing
can be pinned upon sheet spread
upon the foor-tedious work, but
worth while. Pin the corners first,
drawing them very square, then
stretch each scallop in the line with
the corners and pin it fast. After all
are pinned go over the whole curtain
with soft, damp cloth, patting it hard
enough to remove the least trace OF
starch This makes the curtains look
qnite new and does not wear them in
the least. But with several pairs it is
apt to be then the re-
course is a frame drying. No sort OF
lace should ever be ironed.
For the frames get clean, stout
deals, one by two-inch holes four
inches apart for two feet from each
end. Have also some half-inch wood
en- pegs long enough to go through two
of the deals at once. Let the curtains
half dry upon the line, hanging them
pair, pin scallop to scallop from top
to bottom, and hang the pinned part
over one of the long deals. Now pin
the low edges as accurately together.
slip inside them another long deal,
stretch the two the breadth of the
curtain apart. lay on a short end piece,
bringing the holes in it over the holes
in the side pieces and fasten with pegs.
Likewise stretch the other end, and
with needle and coarse thread fasten
the ends Of the curtains to the cross
bars. Stand on edge in an airy place
to dry. Six frames, or three pairs of
curtains, Will thus take UP less space
than one curtain spread out full size.

CLOTHES CHANGE FACES.
Many Causes Are Noted Why Race Pc
culiarities Are Rapidly Dis
appearing.

The whole race of Germans is
gradually being transformed from a
round-shouldered, fat people into
straight and sinewy soldiers, and this
has been entirely due to hard mill
tary discipline, says Stray Stories.
The face Of the German is altering,
too, and to-day the prominent chin,
which is SO characteristic Of the aver
age Prussian, was unknown in the
days of Frederick the Great. The
height of the men has gradually been
diminishing since 1851, but this is
made up for by the increase in mus
Gle and strength.
In the fifteenth century curly hair
was the rule in England; to-day lank
and straight hair is almost universal
Our facial tendency, which has
been noted by Prof. Mantegazza as
characteristic of the English of both
sexes, is the great length of the
nose, accompanied by nose straight
ness. Aquiline noses, which were
exceedingly common in the eigh
teenth century, are becoming rarer
in Great Britain.
Owing to the constant infusion OF
Swiss and Alsatian blood, Frenchmen
are gradually growing lighter of hair
and complexion. The habit of drink
ing beer in preference to wine is also
said to be influencing the physique
and facial tint of the Gallo race.
In Japan it has been observed with
growing establishment that ever since
the adoption, 30 years ago, OF Euro
pean customs and costumes western
ization of the physiognomy of the
Japanese has been going on.

WHAT A LIFE-SAvER SAYS.
Curiously Insane and Selfish Actions
of People Who Are Rescued
from Drowning.

''The drowning of the entire crew,
with the exception of one man, of a
Cape Cod live-saving station during
a gale a short time ago, together
with the loss of the crew of the
wrecked vessel the rescuing life
boat capsizing in the high surf, is
the severest casualty the life-saving
service has sustained this year." said
guard from Atlantic City, accord
ing to the Washington Star, 'and it
calls to mind how curiously selfish
and almost insanely people will act
when we rescue them from what
would have been certain death by
drowning in the undertow of the surf
at Atlantic City but for our efforts.
''This curious but nevertheless ex-
listing streak of ingratitude in the
human makeup crops strangely to
the surface during these times. I
have had my face slapped by women
who were nearly drowned, and would
have been but for my efforts, but
who had strength enough left to
smack me, because did not grasp
UuClI WulC UHCy WCIC Wluh
perhaps the gentleness shown in
ball room, and who afterward be-
rated me with as much vigor and
volubility as the salt water and sea-
weed in their mouths permitted.
Others, upon regaining their con-
seriousness, or when placed upright
on their feet on the beach, have gath
cred up their dripping skirts and ran
for their bath houses as if pursued
by an avenging sea monster, without
single word. Others have been led
away dazed, others hysterical, but
very rarely has one had the presence
of mind and the gratitude to say
even, I thank you, sir, for saving my
life
MEN are more considerable. They
seem to recover their normal senses
more quickly and grasp the situation
more firmly than women. Some will
shake our hands, expressing their
thanks, others will return and invite
us to have drink or cigar, while
some will offer us money. Others
give no voice at all to their feelings.
The occasion of the grateful gentle
man handing the guard a $1,000 bill
or a watch, have yet to see. In
fact, the rich are less proportionate-
ly generous than the poor They
seem to take their rescue as mat
ter of course. Tt is seldom that peo-
pie appear to remember how close
they were TO death, though they
never forget a slight, or trifing
personal affront.
"People readily pay from S. to
81 600 for the restoration of a lost
dog. but viii scarcely bestow a thank
YOU upon the man who may save
their own lives from drowning; not
that we want or expect money, nor
even thanks, as it is our business,
and we are paid salaries. Once
