A good laundress is what is need

A certain laundress who Ia well

Dissolve a heaping tablespoonful

VALUE OF cocoANUT PALM
Trees Many Uses Have Made It Al
most Indispensable in the
Tropics.

There is absolutely no part of the
cocoanut palm which is without its
uses. The tree grows all through the
tropics, but 1t is the natives of the
Philippines and other islands in the
Pacific who most largely depend
upon 1t.
First, the nut is a valuable and al
most complete food, and the liquid
which the shell contains is a refresh
ing drink. From the husk is made
ropes, sails. netting. and the familiar
cocoanut mating. The leaves are used
for matching and make the best and
lightest roofs in existence.
The leaf ribs are formed into brooms
or else are used for fuel, while the
ashes mixed with the oil crushed from
the nut form an excellent soap. The
shells form cups and goblets.
The trunk makes excellent pillars
for house buildings, being both strong
and light, while cut into sections, and
with the pith followed out, 1t forms
tubs, casks and water pipes. From the
roots is made red dye, and the green
crown, or central bud, when crushed.

KEPT THE WIRE HUMMING.
Great Feat Of Henry Bogardus, Who
Was the Original Tramp
Telegrapher.

Henry Bogardus was the original
tramp telegrapher. He had travelled
all over the world and undoubtedly
was one Of the finest operators in the
business, but he wouldn't hold down
job for more than two or three
weeks. One ntght he wandered into
the office of the Atlanta Times and
asked for q job. The paper needed a
man badly and put him to work.
The chief operator got hold q the
other man on the wire and told him
he had a new man on and to work
him out. That was the day before
typewriters came into general use.
Everything was written out in long
hand. The story began coming in.
Bogardus asked for a pencil, leaned
back in his chair and slowly began
to sharpen 1t.
The sounder was pounding away as
fast as the man at the otheN end of
the wire could send. The editor spoke
10 "Bo" and told him he had better
get busy as the man was a rather fast
sender and he would get behind. "Bo'

CONCERNING OUR BOYS.
Without Doubt the Boys Should Aaxs
Duties About the House Re- us
quired of Them. sss

The teaching should not be all on
the girls side of the house. There
are lessons the boys should learn,
and learn thoroughly. In many homes
where the mother is almost q nervous
wreck from overwork, the boys are
given nothing to do, and run about
the streets out of sheer restIesness.
They should not be allowed to lie I'M
bed until called for breakfast, but
should be among the first out of bed.
Teach them that 1t is but fair to wait
on themselves Teach them to pre-
to wash dishes, to scour shelves, to
black stoves, to make beds and sweep
and dust, and put their belongings ir
order. Teach them that it ia as much
their duty to keep their rooms tidy
as 1t is for the sister to look after
hers. A slovenly, disorderly boy is
every bit as bad as a slatternly girl,
declares The Commoner. They should
know how to handle needle and
thread; to sew on buttons; to mend
rips and tears on the sewing ma
chine; to replace the book taken
from the book shelves: to fold and
lay In its place the paper they read:
to shake the rugs; to dust the fur
niture and do the fetch and carry"
work that every home must have
done. Teach them to be considerable
of others. not only as to burden-bear-
ing, but in all work or worry. Boys
should be taught to take the part of
the weaker ones in all the battles
OF life. III the mother would begin
with the boy when he Is still in
dresses, allowing him to do little
kindnssses and setting him little
tasks. thus saving herself many q
