Perhaps all housekeepers donot know
that old mattresses can be made ovef

porch floor is a good place-and whip
ped with a timber stick to raise the
dust, then well shaken. This treat
ment also lightens the fiber of the cot|
ton and is good for hair and moss.
Moss is much better for a good wash

suds. Plunge some Of the moss in and
swash it around awhile, then wiring
through a wringer into a tub Of cleaI
water. After rinsing it is wrung agaiI
and spread on the grass to dry in the
hot sun. II should be turned and shak
en- a few times while drying. Either
moss, hair or cotton should be pulled
apart until perfectly light before re
turning it to the tick.
The tick should be well washed and
boiled if necessary. then starched OF
the inside and well Strengthened oui
before drying. as it is difficult to iron
it very well. In stufflng the mattres,
spread it on a clean floor and fill the
corners first, then the ends. and so un
til the middle is reached. BE sure t
have it very full in the middle, wher,
the most wear will come, else ther,
will soon be very uncomfortable val

the top and proceed to tack the mat
tress, using a long needle and stou'
twine. Put small pieces of cloth oI
the twine at each side Of the mattress
to prevent the twine breaking through

succeeded in preventing a general con-

and in the Delmetsch company's
wholesale house, where a seasons
stock OF fireworks we're located, sew

west wall Of the Fahnley & McCrea
millinery house fell within 80 minutes
after the fire started. One fireman
sustained a broken leg, and in the rush
to escape from their perilous positions
near the falling walls hundreds of
spectators who thronged the space in
front of the Union Stallion, narrowly
escaped death or serious injury.
Within a few minutes the east wall
fell across MERIDIAN street. com

injured. The flames, which spread

communicated to the roof Of the Union
station train sheds, and for several
minutes the efforts of the firemen

Aged Sister and Brother Dead and An
other Brother In Serious Condition.
Philadelphia. Feb. 20.--A sad cease
of starvation and exposure, which re
suited in two deaths, hes been re-
vealed by the police of tins city. The
police Of Germantown, a suburb, were
called upon TO investigate a mysterious
death on East Haines street. They
found Sarah Smith. aged GO years,
dead; Benjamin Smith, 20 years old,
a brother, dying, and Louis Smith, Ga
years old, another brother, in a-serious
condition. The house they lived in was
a two-story frame affair. There was no
fire in the place nor was there any
food to be found. Benjamin Smith was
removed to a hospital. where he died,
and the other brother was taken 70
the almshouse. A strange feature OF
the case is that the brothers had been
pensioned by their former employer,
and a balance was still standing to
their credit. Neighbors say that all
