Bridge Building BrotherhOOds.

1t was in France that brothcrhOOdS
for building bridges first took shape
In IT'S a bridge was begun over the
Rhone at Avignon by Saint Benezet
the head Of body called Fratres Pom
It's, who undertook the building and
repairing of bridges during the middle
ages. A second soon followed at ST
Esprit.
About the same time Peter Of Cole
church. the head Of a similar brother
hood in England. began the first stone
bridge over the Thames at London.
In many cases when bridge was
built a chapel was founded, TO which
a priest was attached TO pray for the
soul of the founder. to receive money
and to offer prayers with the passen,
gers for a safe journey.
The strange Gothic triangular bridge
at Crowland. over three streams. alIud'
ed TO in a charter of 943, was built by
the abbot, of Crowland, and Abbot
Bernard built the Burton bridge over
the Trent. the longest in England. l.Jj5

For a Girls Room.

In furnishing her room a girl
should bear in mind that quality,
not quantity, is the keynote to beau
ty. She should decide on a color
scheme and stick to it, or if she de-
parts slightly from it let her 60 in
the right direction and choose
color which corresponds well with
the main color scheme. In the first
place, she should avoid too many
personal photographs-half dozen
of her dearest friends photos and
no more. Her room should contain
at least one picture beautiful enough
to raise her to higher plane when
ever her eyes fall upon it. She
should be cautious in dealing with
posters, bric-a-brac and gewgaws.
Simplicity of hue and outline should
be her main idea, striving rather to
have a few good things than a great
many inferior ones.

How to Press Cloth So as to Remove
Folds. and Wrinkles.

When wooden cloth is to be press
ed, but not washed, it is sometimes
the question of how best to give it
che dampness that will enable the
not iron to remove folds and wrin-
kles. Good results are to be had by
wringing sheet out of warm water,
spreading it on a large table, ar
ranging upon it the pieces to be
pressed and then folding or rolling
all in a bundle. After lying thus
for several hours the cloth is even
" damp, but not wet, and all creases
and folds soften to the best possible
condition for the ironing. The press
ing rather than the ironing must be
done slowly with irons not too hot
nor too cool, moving them just fast
enough to prevent one from print
ING its outline on the goods. Hot
enough to raise the steam, but not
hot enough to scorch the wool, is
right for the irons. Ladies' cloth
treated thus loses every crease and
the too clinging softness lent it by
wear. Thinner goods are handled
the same way with success. The
process, of course, is that followed
by all tailors and called 'sponging,"
except that no pressing follows the
dampness Of new cloth, it being
merely spread smooth and left to
dry.

Meat should not be laid on the

fresh killed allow it to get chilled

is poisonous. Do not let chops and
steak rest against one another

To Get Rid of "Old" Smell.

To remove IA close, odd smell
from a room it is necessary to take
up the carpet or mating if there
should happen to be either. The
carpet should be beaten and fumi-
gated by letting it lie on the ground
for several days, removing it al
night. Finally it should be covered
thickIy withSJry salt, allowed to
stay in the sun for several hours
and then swept thoroughly. Before
replacing scour the floor in hot wa
ter and cartolic acid. The walls,
if papered, should be stripped and
washed with chloride of lime. Ii
painted, scrub with carbolic acid
soap. When dry have them repaint-
ed or papered If all this Is per
formed thoroughly there should be
perfect freshness and cleanliness in
place of the musty odor.
