To do up lace curtains satisfactorily,
taken down pin them to the line for
a few minutes, SO that the wind will
blow out the dust. After the loose
dust has been shaken out put them to
soak Gf very smoky in lukewarm
suds for one hour, squeeze them out
by hand and place them in a hot
suds made from good soap. Rinse
up and down by hand until all soil is
removed. Run them through a slack
clothes wringer and place them in a
tub Of clear warm water. If they are
to be pure white, they are now ready
for the bluing, but those who wish
them cream color may add clear FL
tered coffee. Instead of using starch
to stiffen them they will look more
like new one if gum arabic is used.
Upon a teaspoonful of gum broken
into little bits pour a cupful of warm
water and stir until dissolved. To
every quart Of water add two tea
spoonfuls of the mixture. Wiring out
carefully through a loose clothes
wringer. In a sunny spot in the yard
have the quilting frames extended,
and a clean sheet pinned taut over
them.
In order to work to advantage it is
better for two to shake and spread
one curtain at a time. They should
be gently stretched both ways and
pinned in each scallop. Allow each
curtain to remain until perfectly dry.
AS fast as dry spread out fat on a
sheet on the floor over night in a per-
fectly dry atmosphere.

The SiIenf Little RraXer.

My little boy knelt at my knee last night
Ard said the prayer my mother taught
me long ago;
Then for awhile was silent, with his
head still bowed,
And when at last he rose to give the
kiss
For which I waited, and withdrew his
arms,
Z asked him why he had kept kneeling
When
EIfs "Now I lay me down to Sleep was
done.
Grave-faced, he a I'm Sunday school
they asked
The children all, when they have said
their prayers.
To whisper, asking God, up there, to
bless
The little ones in China n to put
The love of Jesus in their hearts II
True, tender little prayer like that were
For me each night, I'd ask no more, and
claim
The richest blessing God may esnd az
mine.

Fall in Birth Rate.

The best calculation that can be
made shows that the average number
of children in the white native family
a century ago in the United States
was more than six; in 1880 it had
fallen to less than five; in 1860 to less
than four; in 1872 to less than three; in
1900, among the "uppl classes in
Boston, to less than two.

HART OF CHICAGO IS
FOR BASEBALL PEACE
Says National Is Ready to
Meet With American.

CHICAGO, III, Jan President
James A. Hart. of the Chicago Club Of
the National League. and member of
the peace" committee of that organiza-
ton. has returned from his trip TO Mexi-
co. President Hart discussed freely the
position Of the National League in re
gard to the scheduled conclave and the
probabilities Of peace between the two
organizations. He was unaware that a
hitch in the plans for the meeting had
arisen until yesterday morning, when he
read accounts Of things that have come
up while he was awav-
The committeeman must be entirely
unhampered by instructions or restrIc-
lions from their respective organiza-
lions until such time as it Is ascertained
if a treaty Of peace is possible or not, ~
said Mr. Hart.
Il do not wish TO put myself in the
position OF talking too much or Of talk
ing in advance of the committee meet
ing. providing such meeting should be
held. But it seems to me that first of all
there must be decided just what policy
is to be adopted. Whether there shall be
two leagues Of eight clubs, each work
ing in harmony, OF whether there shall
be one league of twelve clubs or one
league Of sixteen clubs
If the first proposition IS to be the
policy then either league would be prac-
ttcaIly safe in deIegating unusual powers
TO its committee But If either Of the
other propositions Is adopted property
interests would at once become involved,
and I desire to say that I would not
under any circumstances delegate to any
committee power to disturb the property
interests Of the Chicago Club without its
being first made acquainted with the de-
tails OF such a transaction, and. further
more, I would positively decline TO &C
cept any such authority as a committee
man from any other plain business
proposition and should be governed by
The same rules which govern transac-
tons Of like nature in other lines of
business
7 feel certain the National League
stands ready to back up its committee IN
any reasonable proposition that may be
submitted to 1t. The National League is
for peace now and always has been. Dur
ing its entire existence this organization
has never instituted warfare against any
rival and has continuously stood for or
gained baseball and harmony. If, how
ever, the American League is not sincere
in its oft-repeated declaration that il
desires peace then the National League
viii be perfectly willing to accept the
situation as it now exists. And it will
continue to do in the future as # has
done in the past. That is, to operate on
an Independent basis and cater to the
best of its ability TO the patrons Of the
national game
