How to Press Cloth.

When WOODEN cloth is to be pressed
but not washed, it is sometimes the
question of how best to give it the
dampness that will enable the hot IRON
to remove the folds and wrinkles.
Good results are TO be had by wiring
ing sheet out i'll warm water, spread
ing it on a large table, arranging upon
it the pieces to be pressed and then
folding OF rolling all in a bundle. Al
ter lying thus for several hours, the
cloth is evenly damp, but not wet, and
all creases and fold soften to the besi;
possible condition for the ironing. The
pressing 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 printing
its outline on the goods. Hot enough
to raise the steam, Dut not hot enough
to scorch the wool, is right for the
irons. Ladies' cloth treated thus loses
every crease and the too clinging soft
ness lent it by wear. Thinner goods
are handled the same way with sue
cess. The process, of course. is that
followed by all tailors and called
"sponging," except that 10 pressing
follows the dampness Of new cloth.
1t being merely spread smooth and
left to dry.

The Care of Carpets.

4 good layer of newspapers under
meath the carpet will prevent all dan.
ger from moths, which have q strong
objection to printers ink, and will not
come anywhere near it to lay their
eggs.
Fresh paper should be used every
time the carpet is taken up.
Tea leaves, damp salt on newspaper
that has been soaked in water and
then squeezed dry and torn into small
pieces are all very good for taking Up
the dust when sweeping, but tea
leaves should always be rinsed in wa
ter before using, especially If the car
pet is a light one.
Damp salt brighteEs and colors Won
derfully if they are not at all faded
Or soiled. Remember, that a carpet
should always be swept the way of the
nap. To brush the other way is to
brush the dust in. Attend to all stains
as soon as possible. If left. they grad
ually sink into the carpet and are
much more difficult to remove than if
done at once.

Marking Household Linen.

It is a sign of good and systematic
housekeeping to have bed and table
linen marked, also all towels ans
everything of personal wear that vii
be Numbered. Articles that are
marked are apt to have better care
than otherwise.
The ideal way Of marking is by EN-
broidery, but scarcely any house
keeper has time for decorative letter
ing. If she chooses to mark her best
hemstitched sheets ard pillow slips in
this way the Initials should be placed
lust above the hem in the middle of
the upper half of the pillow slip and
midway across the upper end of the
sheet. The embroidery should be done
in a raised stitch with the best en-
broidery initials, or monogram, lit
tie one side of the centre, and nap
kins near one corner.
Indelible ink is the usual medium
for marking. Select a good ink and
then note carefully the directions for
using. as a failure to follow these
closely may result disastrously either
by the name fading, or the cloth be-
ing injured by chemicals. One ink
may require a steel pen, and another a
quill pen, but for either a hot iron
or direct bright sunlight will be eS-
sential to set the ink indelibly.

DUCKLING'S DIDN'T CARE.

A hen that was sitting on some
ducks eggs in due time Matched out
four of them, four beautiful little
downy creatures, and they soon be.
came so lively the old hen could hard
~ keep up with then. This she tried
zealously to do for some time, but the
ducklings were quite Indifferent to her
solicitous watchfulness, much like
young America of today, which. in it's
own estimation, does not need any pa
rental guidance. This was her first
experience with such a brood, and no
doubt she thought her chickens the
queerest in the world, but that was
not here nor there, her first duty was
to those chickens, and care for them
she must. So she kept on trying, but
they would neither stay with her or
be stayed with, but would run off
everywhere by themselves, so at last
discouraged by repeated failure she
quit them, when about two weeks old
and gave up the work as bad job and
left those silly ducklings to take care
OF themselves, as she had determined
to have nothing more to do with them,
and strange though it may seem. those
ducklings did not seem to care one
bit!

USEFUL WOOD LORE

II you are lost in the woods sill
down the moment you realize it and
think it over. If you start off at ran
dom you will be sure to walk in a cir
Gle. None but the most experienced
woodsmen can keep a straight course
and even they go in circle when they
they get really lost.
If you know the direction of camp,
tie some strip of white rag to a tree
and then start off. You can find the
compass points by remembering that
moss always grows on the north side
OF trees. Keep tying strips of rag to
trees as you go on. Then you can find
your way back to the starting point
II you should fail to strike the path
that leads to safety.

IN A CHINESE SCHOOL,

10 learn to read and write in China
means about as much work for the
youngster who undertakes it as mas
tering five or six languages such as
English, French and German. To be-
gin with, the Chinese language has no
alphabet. Every character used stands
for word. There is not even any
way of telling the sound of a word ex-
cept by hearing it pronounced by the
teacher. To learn to read means that
the small student must be able to un-
derstand thousands of these different
characters at sight, and pronounce
them according to the local dialect.
AS a rule a Chinese school is not
divided into classes. Each scholar has
MS separate lesson. consisting of a
number of lines to be learned "by
heart" He has to study aloud and in
consequence the noise in a Chinese
schoolroom would drive the average
American teacher frantic At first the
pupil does not understand any of the
words he learns by rote. The mean
ings are all explained to him later on.
This is the kind of school that in
CHINA keeps seven days in the week,
with very few holidays throughout
the year.
