~Lady" Chimney Sweeps.

For startling innovations, especially in the woman's sphere of activity, Russia runs America very hard. The latest move in this direction is chron- acled in the St. Petersburg Press. The daring innovator is the widow of a chimney sweep who died recently, leaving half a dozen, olive branches, all of them girls. Necessity, which is the mother of invention, has now inspired this thoughtful woman to take to her husbands calling, and in order to do the thing thoroughly while she is about 1t she means to form whole guild of female sweeps, If the police grant the needed permission. By way of assist ants, or, as Lamb termed them, "un- f1edged practitioners" she professes to train up girls between the ages of eight and twelve, while the full-blown mem bers of the guild would include girls and women from IA to 35.

This is an excellent way of cleaning the mud off your cloak: To take off the stains rub with plain warm water. Dip the garment in cold soft water; then with scrubbing brush and yellow soap proceed to scrub it all over, having spread the garment fiat on the table. When the dirt is removed, dip the coat in repeated waters to get rid of the suds, but do not wiring it. Hang 1t up in the air or in an airy room to dry, but do not put near the fire. Paint or grease spots may be removed by SCOUT ing drops or spirits of turpentine, but common soap will do the rest. The dirtiest parts will require most scrub bing.
