The Middlebury Register claims to
have found out that what Vermont
needs most is mothers who will increase
her population at the rate of four babies
at one birth. A Chicago university
professor takes a different view and
calls for equality, not quantity" He
says the present cry about race suicide
reminds him of the fable of the owl and
the eagle. The former upbraided the
latter for having but two young ones,
while she herself had four. Yes "
replied the eagle, "but mine are eagles
Vermont certainly cannot get too many
bright, whole-souled, energetic citizens,
but there are no aching voids at present
in her jails, her poorhouses or her insane
asylums. -Brattleboro Reformer.

How to Press Cloth.

When wooden cloth is to be pressed,
but not washed. it is sometimes ques-
ton Of how best to give it the damp
ness that will enable the hot iron to
remove folds and wrinkles. Good re-
suits are to De had by wringing sheet
out of warm water, spreading 1t on
large table. arranging upon 1t the
pieces to be pressed and then folding
or rolling all into a bundle After lying
thus for several hours the cloth is even
~ damp. but not wet. and all creases
and folds softened to the best possible
condition for the ironing. The pressing
rather than ironing must be done slow
ly with irons not too hot or too cool,
moving them just fast enough to pre-
vent one from printing its outline on
the goods. Hot enough to raise steam,
but not hot enough to scorch wool, Is
right for the irons. Lady's cloth treat
ed thus loses every crease and the too
clinging softness lent 1t by wear. Thin
ner goods are handled the same way
with equal success. The process Is of
course that followed by all tailors and
called "sponging," except that no press
ing follows the dampening of new
cloth. it being merely spread smooth
and left to dry.
