Cleaning Lace Curtains.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-A young

new lace curtains washed, desires me
to send her a method of ~dry-cleaning
them at homeland asks to send it to
your page, as she can clip it out and

which [ have used, and will give to
you with pleasure.
Pin a sheet on the carpet; then
over the sheet scatter dry Indian
meal and borax mixed in the proper
ton of one cupful of meal to one
teaspOOnful of boraX; ver the sheet
min q curtain, scatter more OF the
mixture, then another curtain, then
more curtains, until all the curtains
are PINNED down, and all strewn good
with the mixture. Pull all the rings

that the sheet will all; lay

shake out your curtains, and they
will look like new lace curtains.
I think ten days long enough, or a
week perhaps to lay away, if one
wishes to use them. You might try
this method. It is excellent, and
many use it. S. IL.

WaXhaw Enterprise the information
20 that there are two full moons
IN one month every year, else how
could thirteen moons be crowded into
twelve months 2" I suppose the
phrase ga moon" means from new
moon to new moon, or in other words,
a moon has four phases. If this is
the correct definition, then it follows
that there must be ffty-two phases
in every year in which there are thir-
teen moons. The World Almanac
gives for this year only fifty phases,
that is, twelve moons and a half, al
though there are two full moons in
March.
By referring to Turner's Almanac
for North Carolina for the year 1900,
you will find that the new moon fell
on new years day. Also the curious
fact hal in January there were five
phases of the moon, and in March the
same, while February had only three
that Is, two new moons for Jan
uary, two for March and none for
February. And no month in that
year had two full moons, and could
not, because there are only fifty
phases given for the year, or twelve
and Il half moons. Where does Mr..
Godfrey get his information?
BY the way, Aunt Jennie, isn't it
queer how people will accept any
thing for truth without ever paus-
ing to ascertain for themselves
whether the same be true or false
Any old maxim, being often quoted,
comes to be regarded by some people
as Scripture; and / have heard even
the devils words quoted for Gospel,
such as "All that a man has will he
give for his life" which is false.
| see YOU have offered another pre-
mirm-for the best letter this time,
without STIMULATING the subject. ]
hope you Will receive many good let
tiers. But | think when the prize is
awarded, the judges should state in
what particular manner, or in what
specific points the winners letter is
the most excellent. [ think it quite
probable that all who write, would be
that they can do better next time.
Hoping to see the Chat corner con-
tinue to improve, | am as ever,

We are publishing an article from
the pen of Editor Green, of Our
Home, on the telephone and how the
farmers of Union County are bene-
flied by it's use. Union is one of the
most prosperous counties in the
State, and the telephone has helped
to make it so. The phone system
is used by a few of the farmers of
Moore County and they find it a
great convenience.-Sanford Ex-

From Indian Territory.

E4OA4 4AOA0A
Dear Aunt Jennie:-It has been
such a long, long time since | wrote
any thing for the Social Chat that [
don't know how to begin. I have not
seen The Progressive Farmer for
some time, and ont know the new
writer's or subjects under discussion
now. So many changes have taken
place since [ used to be one of the
band, I will tell you of some [ have
made.
[ have been married over two
years, and given up teaching through
the rough mountains of Macon, and
am trying house keeping in the land
of the "Red Man" with a little curly,
~red-headed, ~one-year-old boy for help.
We left North Carolina i'll Jan
uary and came to Texas. [ had a
pleasant visit of one month with my
uncle's family there; then came on
here to make this place our home for
awhile.
This is a beautiful country. Money
is much more plentiful than in North
Carolina. [ liked Texas except when
it rained. 1t was impossible to travel
there in wet weather. That black
wax mud fills in between the spokes
until they are one mass of mud. It
takes strength to prize it off of the
wheels. The land in this part of the
Territory is gravelly and rich. Water
is very good, and the weather usually
mild.
There have been two dust storms
since we came here. They leave
houses full of dust, if they are not
real tight.
Phillips is situated three miles
above Lehigh. Coal mining is the
leading industry. If any one builds
a house on a lot here, they can hold
the lot. IF people here would make
as good use of their chances to make
money and take as good care of it as
Western North Carolina people do,
they could soon be independent.
Schools are taught by subscription.
There are all classes of people here.
Provisions are higher than they are
in the East.
[ have seen a great deal since we
came West, but nothing grander than
the old mountains in Macon, and will
always love them and their people.
With best wishes for The Progress
sive Farmer and Chatterers,
FANNIE M. STANFIELD.

Springtime in the Forests.

ly, that, but for the baroness of the
tree branches, and the absence of
flowers, l might almost think it a
May day instead of a day in the
clustering month of March. But
this is just one of the deceitful
smiles which occasionally light up
the face of the mad old month"
/ read the following lines some
where the other day:
ooh, March is tricky fellow
He's mild as a lamb by day
And fierce as a lion by night,
He rushes about with a CHATTER and
bang,
And makes the echoes ring.
He lays his mouth to the door of the
flowers,
And roars, Come out! Pm Spring.
But the flowers all know better;
They smile and wink in the dark,
And nudge each other, and whisper
low,
He's trying to cheat us, bark!
But we know better, don't we, dears,
The voice of the real Spring?
So lie down again, understandings,
And crOcuses, you keep quiet;
Spring may come with a serenade,
But never with a riot"
As | walk | hear the sound of the
wOodman's axe, and see the giant
tree as it creaks, and sways, then
falls PROSTATE on the ground. What
a stroke that was-the last stroke of
the axe that felled that great old
| pine. The proud old monarch had
stood there in that identical spot for
| hundreds of years, successfully COM
batting everything that had come
against him. Many a strong wind
| has gathered his forces and made a
rush for the old tree, but he only
bowed a little, and when the wind
had passed on, he was as bold and
| straight as ever. He has faced many
| a heavily bombardment of the terrific
storm, when the flashing blade of the
lightning cut down some of his conf
panions, and the awful crash of thun-
der seemed to jar the very hill on
| which he stood. But alas, before the
| strokes of the little axe, which cuts
out a small chip at the time, the
grand old warrior falls, defeated.
CHow like ourselves! 1t is the little
things that make or mar u.s.
I can also hear the whir, clatter
and shrek of a number of saw mills,
as they devour the bodies of those
good old trees. And for what? Why
this destruction of our "primevaP'
forests? Oh, it's because there is
money in the old trees!
The following lines from the pen
of Mr.. Harold Child, are appro-
p"riate:
"With the sad sweet song of the
whispering wild,
The saw-mill mingles its note,
AS with cleaning blade, in primeval
shade,
The woodmen feed its throat.
