10 LIcHrEH LAUNDRY WORK



washing day Ii justly dreaded In the
aeat OF summer. when all work is q
oouoie burden to the flesh. ANYTHING
tnat lightens the work Is, therefore. es-
pecially welcome. but though the tools
OF To-day are superior to those OF our
sranomother's. modern invention has
uone comparatively little to tighten the
laoors OF the laundry. In spite OF the
COST OF washing machines and the rep
RESERVATIONS Of their agents, a perfor-
ased zinc rubbing board Is still the
most useful tool that a good laundress
can command. says Prairie Farmer
Home Magazine.
One OF the most important parts OF
washing Is the asserting OF the
clothes. There are many stains, which,
IKE those Of Precipitation, disappear
mag1cally with q little cold water and
soap. and others, like fruit and cof-
lee. which must be treated with boil
ing water, but are permanently set by
iukewarm water. II 1t is the practice
OF the family to soak all the clothes
IN cold water before the washing has
begun, . great many stains will be
permanently set; but IL the various
Kinds OF stains are carefully sorted out
and properly treated hours of rubbing
Will be saved.
A housekeeper whose clothes always
look rs white as the driven snow says
that 1t Is best to soak coarse clothes In
cold water. but the table linens and
nne clothes need not be SO treated.
The same housekeeper says that as
soon as she has removed the stains
from her clothes she puts them in
cold water in the boiler and brings
them to the boiling point, and then
puts them in the washtub to be rubbed
Tor the first time The boiling starts
the dirt. and the rubbing is much cas-
Ter than 1T would otherwise be. After
rubbing. the clothes are transferred at
once to the first rinsing water, then to
the second. and when they are thor
oughly rinsed they are put . few
ct . time into the bluing water. pro-
vided they have not been blued in sev-
eral weeks. II they have, they are
wrung out with the wringer and put
out to dry. All white clothes should
be dried outdoors In the strongest sun
light Both the freezing cold and the
heat OF the summers sun bleach
them.
Brown soaps usually contain rosin
and soda. and are good for washing
white clothes. but they should not be
used for colored clothes or fiannels, IS
soda bleaches the one and the rosin is
Injurious to the other. Use a guod
white soap for this purpose. All COL
ored clothes should be dried as quickly
- possible In the shade. Starchsd
are dried In the house in laun- |
dries. in order to keep them stiff. II i
they are yellow, they are bleached IN
The sun. and afterward starched and |
hung in the house to dry. Colored
dresses which are trimmed or COM
bined with white should be rinsed In |
water In which salt has been dissolved
n about the proportion Of table, |
spoonful Of salt to q gallon Of water.

CARE OF TOILET ARTICLES.


Toilet articles should be kept perfectly
sweet and clean at all times. Wash
cloths must be cleaned and summed daily:
let them lie for . few minutes in basin
of warm water In which Z pinch Of borax
has been dissolved. then wash through
warm soapsuds and rinse thoroughly.
Wash rags and bath towels are benefited
BY an occasional bleaching on the grass.
says the National Tribune.
To clean old sponges. boil them for
three or four hours In water enough to
cover them: to the water add two table
spoonfuls Of carbonate Of soda, then rinse
thoroughly through several clean, cold
waters. After this preliminary opera
Ion, soak the sponges In chloride acid
mixed. with four times the quantity Of
water for - hours, then turn the hydrant
on them and let It run for some time,
rinsing until oil smell Of the acid has
disappeared. Dry the sponges over a
hot stove and they will be as good ~
new.
Hair brushes and combs should have
1t least . weekly cleaning. An occa-
sional dip In gasoline helps the former,
though nothing will keep the bristles
IN better condition than washing in cold
soapsuds.
The tooth brush, above all, should not
be neglected. Wash 1t thoroughly every
time 1t is used, and every few days soak
II for some time In little borax or soda
water to keep 1t sweet.
Be careful that salves, lotion, ETC., con-
tanning fats. do not become rancid In
warm weather. for the use Of them in
that condition will do more harm than
good.

Amey7can Us. English Colleges

American colleges are numbered by the
hundreds, bringing the higher education home to
the people, and higher education in England must
be adapted to the startling and violent change in
the national life and the colleges and universities,
if they would hold their own, must greatly increase
their numbers, change their methods and assume
new and closer relations with the people whom they
all aspire to guide, instruct and lead

Many Of US who have seen CLANS know
that they have 'necks," but are ignorant
Of the purpose and characteristics Of this

they are far from being close mouthed.
In fact, they are seldom to be seen with

This fact, In case the meek" IL

such . length can be contracted into
such q small space, and how much re-
mains in the shell after the meek" has
been elongated. This Is the astonishing
characteristic Of the soft shelled clam,
and the one that makes him unrecogniz-
able to 90 many people. One Of the
CLAIMS, for instance, Is three inches long.
His meek" when extended, is possibly
eight of nine inches long and as large
around as mans middle finger.

He has to be dug up. when discovered
by the little spurts Of water which the
clam beneath throws up when disturbed.
This meek" connects the clam with
his food supply in the water above. In
1t are parallel tubes. Through one tube
the clam sucks In quantity of water
From the water he absorbs whatever
nourishment 1t may contain. and then
expels the water through the other tube
One may wonder how the clam gets
into the sand or mud. At the end oppo-
site the meek" may be seen an append
age resembling a turtles tail in shape
and called q foot. 1t is with this foot
that he digs his way downward.
