Setting color., Z, r.h-,..

Setting co1oEss I'm Eahr1ea. +a-,-:
1t Is impossible to tell whether q color
is fast before washing. but by far the
safest plan is to "set" the color before
it goes to the tub for the first time. One
Of the best methods Of settling delicate
colors consists in simply making a
strong brine of cold water and salt and
soaking the garment from IL to "A hours.
OF course this should be done Just before
going to the laundry, and the salt should
not be allowed to dry in it. This is es-
pecially good for all shades of pink and
green, and colors once set this way will
be bright as long as it would be possible
to expect it. A strong solution of alum
and water is good, particularly with
blue, and the more delicate shades of
brown, but it's effect is not so lasting as
that of salt and it is sometimes neces-
sary to renew the bath after the first
three or four washings. Some people
recommend solutions of lead and cop
peras, but as both of these are poisonous
drugs, it is better to avoid them.-Chi-

Putting the Baby to sleeD,

Putting the Baby to sleep.
Il had tried everything to make my
little one sleepy at the right tlme," said
one of the progressive mothers, "and all

when I put him to bed. Ihad to forbid
the 'romp with papa after dinner, be-
cause it seemed to wake the boy up so
thoroughly. tried rubbing his feet
and putting hot water bag in the bed
on cold nights. tried feeding him Just
before taking of his clothes. Nothing
had any effect on his excited nerves.
Then the doctor suggested remedy that
worked like charm. Taking OF Jack q

water, beginning at the neck and pass
ing down slowly and gently, and 60
over and over again. l kept the wa
ter as hot as could be borne, and con-
tinued the treatment until the skin was
red. Then the back was dried gently
and the child put into bed. Either the
gentle downward stroke or the hot wa
ter had soothing effect on the nerves.
Anyway, sleep was sure to follow. A
week or two of this treatment will usu-
ally effect a permanent cure. ."-Chicago

called the judge, as he hastily drove

spent very busy day, and it was not
until he was preparing to- leave that
he remembered Sans license, and re-
allied that he had not been told the
name Of the bride-elect. :
THE old idiot, he never told me
who he wants to marry, but, of course.
It's Lucinda; he's always making eyes
at her." So saying he. returned to the
courthouse and had the license made
out In the names of Sam and Lucin-
da. Sam was the first to greet him
upon his return with the inquiry:
cit my license, massa ?"
Yes, Sam. you old fool, you didn't
toll me who you want to marry, but
I remembered how you're always
hanging around counting Lucinda, and
got the license in her name." -.
"Lawd, massa!" exclaimed Sam,
"tain't Lucindy, it's Kyarline. What's

thing will be for me to get another

''Will anuther license cost any
