CLEANSING COTTON LACE.

To cleanse some of the new cotton
laces, little forethought and care is
required, but the results will more
than repay the effort. Baste upon
piece Of flannel the article to be
cleaned, following carefully the out
line Of the work. Then immerse it in
lather of lukewarm suds, merely
dipping it up and down, never wash
ing or wringing it out. Instead, after
rinsing, put between two cloths and
pat till almost dry. Then hang it up
for few moments and iron with the
back of the flannel exposed to the heat.
When the basting stitches are removed
it will be found to look as if it had
come from the establishment of a
French laundress, for this is the
method pursued by most of them.

Chatting DISH LAMP.

To make a chafing dish lamp that
will spread the fame evenly over the
bottom Of the dish above it has been
a perplexity ever since the chafing
dish came into general use. A new
lamp with perfora tons at the sides Of
a round tube claims to have settled
the difficulty. The tube raises and
lowers with screw, enlarging and
diminishing the fame according as it
is nearer or further from the dish.
The flame, by an ingenious device, is
spread over broad area. The lamp
holds little more than an ordinary one
and burns, when filed, thirty five
minutes.

THE STOCKING BASKET.

Keeping down the stocking basket IS
the problem which confronts the wo
man who has to do the darning for the
family. If there are small boys with
a fondness for playing marbles and
climbing fences, She will find her
labors much lessened if she gives up
darning altogether and takes to mend
ing instead. The tops Of half-worn
stockings similar to those in use
should be put away for this purpose.
From these pieces matching in grain
may be placed under incorrigible
holes, the edges trimmed away and
the goring neatly made by what is
known as tscashmere'' darning. When
properly done it is almost impossible
to detect the repaired place.

Is your load of trouble great?
That's the time to laugh at fate.
Snap your fingers in her face
And strike up faster pace.
Get your gait, and keep your stride;
Keep straight on whate'er betide.
Work and smile
All the while,
And your woes will turn aside.
Don't give up! Try, try again.
Spit upon your hands and then
Grab hold and hold on fast,
And you'll win your way at last.
Keep your nerve and plug along;
With the club of right smite wrong.
Work and smile
All the while,
And you'll land where you belong.

Always remember that the sun shines
nearly all day from the south, half II
day-the first half-from the east and
the other half from the west, but never
from the north. Place a new house
any way you please in its relation to
the highway-endwise latwlse or
obliquely, 1t makes no difference.
Even turn it entirely around, so that
the front door is where the rear door
usually is, upon the opposite side to the
approach, but, above everything, make
sure that the sunlight is going to do
for your living rooms and bedrooms
all 1t will do for the bright sunshine

Amusemcnts In Vogue Among Wom-
en-, Men and Boys.
In letter to friend in Washing
ton Mrs. Annie Pike Smith, formerly
Of Washington but now with hcr hus-
band, Captain A. Il. Smith, L. S. A.,
at Camp Jossman, llOilo, Philippine Is
lands, writes thus concerning the ma,
tive sports says the Washington Star:
among the women rope jumping is
pastime. Is this to be wondered at
in country noted for its hemp? They
make Il game of it. To each woman,
including those that turn tie rope, Is
given the name of flower or tree.
The one that acts as leader calls out
the name. and the proper one takes her
turn. Should the flower name of one
of the girls turning be called then
there is u great scramble, while anoth-
er is taking her place, and she makes
her jump, 1t reminded me of the noisy
game called fruit basket which ! play
ed in my childhood on the streets of
Washington.
Among the boys-and older men, too
"a favoritc sport is the tossing of n
hollow ball made of bahooka. II species
Of bamboo. They toss this bal! from
one to another never touching it with
Lhelr hands, but using only the mus
cles of the back, hips and legs. 1t is
really wonderful how long they can
keep it dying back and forth in the
air The youngsters enjoy the regular
old game of hopscotch. plot oblong
in shape is laid out with circle divid-
cd into equal spaces. The game is to
hop on one foot from one division to
the others, at the same time kicking
stone. But cockfghting reigns SUI
preme. Almost any day you may see a
