KEEPING CLOTHES CLEAN.
Fresh Air a Necessity in Properly
Caring for Wearing Apparel
in the Nursery.

A visit to a modern day nursery
that is properly equipped gives
house mother many useful hints,
saws the New York Post. One is the
necessity to keep wearing apparel
properly aired. In all well conducted
nurseries, the clothes taken off from
the child in the morning and re-
placed by clean outfits provided by
the institution are well shaken in the
outer air.. loosely folded and gath
cred in an open bag made of knotted
cord. The bag is then hung out of
the window, or sometimes in large,
well ventilated rooms filed with dry
heat. At night, when the child
leaves, he is dressed in these clothes
thus freshened. The process is
partly to guard against possible in
lection in the garments, but as well
to air them thoroughly and get rid
of the close, stuffy smell that
clothes worn constantly in tene-
ment room, where cooking, laundry
work, etc. is carried on, is sure to
acquire. Personal clothing in any
,home shoulG/never be shut up in her
1fieticallY Sealed closets. No well
trained architect now thinks of
drawing a building plan that
does not provide for ventilated
clothes closets. But houses built
only few years ago still have their
series of stuffy little boxes, air tight
when the door is shut, dark, hot,
moth-breeding, and altogether the
most undesirable receptacle for
wearing apparel or bed clothing that
can be imagined. Such closets may
be somewhat improved by having the
door panels taken out and a fine
wire grating inserted that will let in
air and little light, and practically
keep out dust. Even then clothing
kept in them should be constantly
taken out to the last garment, and
the closet left wide open for two or
three hours to the sun and air before
its contents are restored.

Shockingly Mutilated.

Monday the people OF st. Mar
t;nyille were shocked beyond ex-
preston and their condemnation
WAS not too severe for the wilful act
IF vandalism that was committed
in cutting the limbs of the Evan
pelipe oak. This grand old tree, the
pride of the town, aud the admira-
ton of the strangers who visited
this place. was dishgured, mutila-
ted, murdered, for what reason, we
cannot say, but the damaged done
ia unfortunate and cannot repair
ed, as this tree is now dishgured'
ruined for ever.
1t becomes the duty of the coun-
Gil and the grand jury will look
into this matter of destroying pub
lie property of the character OF
this Evangeline oak.
This oak stands on public pro-
perty that can only be controlled
bv the town authorities, and had
this tree been cut even by the an.
thorities it would have been con
sidered vandalism and a crime
because tree that was looked up
on with the interest that this ont
was should have been preserved
with the greatest care and atten
ton.
This place of Evangeline shoul'
have been attended to by the an
thorities and should have beer
made as pretty as possible, it
small and would not have cos
much. Strangers who visit U
cannot understand how we can al
low this little place in the condl
ton it is, which look entirel
abandoned, and which, we pre-
sumo, was the cause OF the Gu
ting of the tree.
We trust that the authorize
and the people of the town wi
pee that what is left of the Evang'
line oak will be preserved and tn
place improved.

an apt illustration of the truth
contained in the old aphorlsm

kept inviolate as to commit an act
bordering on vandalism. The To-
cation of the tree referred to-, to
say nothing of the reputed associa-

be sufficient to keep it from mutt

There were only a few stOckers and

they were fat but very heavy. averaging
100 pounds. Western ewes that were not

The chief feature to the trade in wheat
was the. selling by the largest holder and
after a slight advance early in the session
the market was inclined TO weakness.
Higher cables, with firm markets In the
northwest, was the bull factor early, but
more liberal receipts offset these influences.
There was little support TO the market, as

Corn was quiet and rather heavy, large

December option are not yet a thing of the

with 30 cars of contract grade.
Oats were dull, with n weaker under

commission houses. The close was easy,

ceipts were 239 cars.
Provisions were dull, with no special fea-
