RATS MADE BEDS OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was found the Miss
ing Bills Were All Intact,

When the Nest Was found the Miss
ing Bills Were All Intact.
A short time ago Mrs. Mike HulIer,
who keeps grocery on the corner of
Eighth and Elm streets, hid away
where she could easily find it,, $76 in
bills for use at time when necessity
or desire required it. She thought of
thieves, but not of the rodent de-
scription, and was, therefore, quite
particular in selecting a hiding place.
A few days later she thought she
would take a look at her hidden treas
ure, with the view of assuring herself
that the money was where she had
hidden it, but on going to the place
her surprise can easily be imagined
when, on placing her hand where the
money ought to have been, she dis
covered that it was gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to few days ago, when, hearing
a rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her that rats were the real
pUrloiners Of her money. Going to
work with vim she was not long in
ripping up two or three planks from
the floor of one of the rooms of the
house and, instituting close search,
was greatly elated to find that rodents
had actually stolen the money, packed
it away and made a cosey bed of it.
for there it was before her eyes, Ev.
cry bill was found intact not dollaH

Many excellent housekeepers disa
gree as to the best method of wash,
ing white clothes. Some Of them pre-
fer to soak their clothes overnight In
cold water. Others who are equally
good managers, after examining each
piece to see il there are any stains or
spots that need special attention,
plunge them into boiling hot soap.

hours or overnight This latter method

ing water. II 1t is put in without melt

IL the water is soft little melted soap
should be used instead OF soda, and
soap should be rubbed over each piece
as it is put in the boiler. Very few
OF the best lAundresses boil their
clothes longer than three minutes, just
long enough to allow them TO be thor
oughly scalded. Longer boiling only
tends TO make white clothes yellow.
When the clothes are taken from the
boiler the water they We're boiled In
should be poured over them and they
should be allowed to stand In 1t sew
eral hours or overnight. No woman
who does this will ever be troubled
with yellow clothes. There is no bet
ter way to bleach them in winter.
About once a month is often enough
to blue clothes in winter, and the old
fashioned indigo bag, which costs only
few cents, is the best thing to use
at any time.

LAUNDERING IN WINTER TIME.

Methods by Which Clothes May Re
Kept White and in Good Condition.
Many housekeepers find difficulty in
doing their laundering during cold
weather In the summer season cot
tons and linens can be bleached on
the grass and dried in the warm sun
shine, and, while they are whittier for
being frozen and thawed, there is sell
dom warmth enough in the depth of
winter to thaw them on the line, and If
they are handled in the frozen state
they are apt to crack. For this rea-
son good housekeepers will not allow
fne table linen to be dried out of doors
in the winter, even though il may be
slightly yellowed by indoor drying.
Fine handkerchiefs are very easily torn
and delicate underwear can be ruined
more quickly by being taken from the
lines and folded when frozen than in
any other way.
II white cotton garments are much
stained freezing will restore them to
their proper color, and if there is time
they can be left out on the lines until
they freeze hard and thaw out, pro-
vided they are not handled in a froz-
Ell state or left to flap about in the
wind. Loosely woven materials, like
stockinette may also be left outdoors
on the lines until they are dry enough
to bring into the house.
A large laundry is very useful
place in winter, as the clothes can
oe dried there and the dangers OF
| freezing avoided. Such room is also
very useful for ironing in hot weather
1t should be provided with a laundry
stove and the fire kept up until the
clothes are dried.
Flannels and woolen stockinettC
ought to be dried on wooden frames
which any carpenter will make. an(
which will prevent shrinking. This is
because the ultimate fiber of wool is
spiral, and the drawing up and inter
locking of the fbers being what con
stitutes shrinkage. In underwear fac
tories the garments are always washed
and dried on frames so that they may
be offered soft and unshrunken fol
sale.
1t is much better and easier to scrut
soiled fnannels with small brust
than it is to rub them clean on a board
A rather stiff brush about four or five
inches long is the best article for this
purpose. Scrub the bands and seams
Of heavy woolen shirts, as well al
those of cotton, in this way. Thii
small brush is excellent in washing
corsets or any heavy pieces that arr
difficult to rub on a board. If the brusl
has a small handle the garments may
! be more easily cleaned with it

THEATER FLOATS ON scow.

How People Along Three Great Rivers
Are Supplied with Amusements.
A floating theater, designed to sup
ply the towns along the Ohio, Illinois
and Mississippi rivers with dramatic
entertainments. has recently been con-
structed aud is about to start on its
journeyings Its seating capacity is
for 1000 people and there are boxes
for the elite and pit for the orches-
ira. In addition the vessel Is suffi-
ciently large to admit of numerous
sleeping rooms for the actors, the deck
hands and all those connected with
either the show or the boat. The en-.
tire force numbers forty. On the
steamer which tows the floating thea.
ter. besides the boilers and engines,
there is a complete electric light plant,
besides kitchen and dining room.
In view of the fact that the long
water route of the floating theater car
ries it into the warmer portions OF the
South the season for the show does not
GAOSC uilAll ldlE al iAlC SNNlLlCAh II
The entire route comprises $500 miles
The boat starts at Pittsburg and visits
the towns of the coal miners and steel
workers along the Monongahela river.
Next it returns and goes down the
Ohio to the Kenawha, thence to Cairo,
and later up the Illinois river TO La
Sale. Then, after going back to the
Mississippi, the boat slowly makes its
way in the direction of New Orleans.
The idea of a floating theater is not
exactly new, but the extensive. scale
upon which it is being conducted and
the fact that it is the drama instead
of the vaudeville program that is be-
ing presented attracts unusual atten-
ton. Faust is the production which
has been presented this season.
Along the route of the floating thea
ter the towns are often but ten or
fifteen miles apart. Therefore the
jumps of the boat and its company
are not long ones. On the upper deck
of the steamer is a calliope. Long be-
fore the theater reaches the town in
which 1t is to show the sounds of this
instrument may be heard. The idle
population of the, river towns at once
begins to assemble on the wharf. AS
the steamer comes within a few hun
dred feet Of the dock the calliope is
silenced and brass band strikes up
familiar air. The crowd on the wharf
then grows larger. Many are there
awaiting the first opportunity. to Sc
cure reserved seats. When the boat
touches the wharf the sailors, some of
whom are later transformed into ac-
tors, make the vessel fast and put the
gangplank in place. The scenery Is ar
ranged and the orchestra rehearses
while the cook is preparing the next
meal in the kitchen. The people come
aboard and select their seats, instead
Of doing so from a diagram on shore.
at night the theater is brilliantly
lighted by electricity and a searchlight
flashes. over the surrounding territory
The entertainment lasts about three
hours.

Could Not Favor Unions.

The city of Toronto recently called
for bids for firemen's clothing and the
lowest competitor was the Crown Tail
Oring Company. The contract, how
ever, was awarded at a higher price
to a concern using the union label.
Thereupon the Crown Tailoring Com
pany obtained an injunction. In rem
dering a judgment Chancellor Boyd
declared that in issuing its specifica-
tions the city could not demand the
Use of any particular union label and
thus discriminate against certain
classes of laborers who might be as
capable as those entitled to use the
label. The true test of ability, he
held, is not membership in union.
