rHE LAuNpRY lN SUMMER.
How the Increasing Number Of wash
Dresses Calls for the Best skill
Of the Laundrcss.

With the advent OF warm weather
| the laundry work increases. and II Is
well to bear some things In mind re-
garding the laundering OF the pretty
summer dresses, SO easily ruined IN
careless hands. Soft water should DC
| used where It is possible to get 1t,
but IL not. borax, one tablespoonful
to the gallon will render 1t softer.
For some waters. one tablespoonful 10
the gallon will be required. Do not
use strong cheap soaps or alkaline
washing powders In washing colored
goods; neither must the water be not,
and they must have every particle OF
soap rinsed from them before starch
ing. There are many comparatively
pure oil soaps on the market at very
reasonable prices, and II Is much bet-
ter to use only such for goods that
are colored or tinted. hanging them
in the shade to dry. and taking in for
ironing before they are fully dry.
For black and white mixtures, the
goods should be soaked in salt water
Tablespoonful to a quart OF waterl ioE
an hour before washing. Green coll
ors should be soaked in water In
which powdered alum has been dis
solved sufficient TO give the water
slightly ''puckcrish" taste. for an hour
then dried in the shade and washed
as other goods.
Black goods should not be washed
with soap. \ thin paste OF corn
starch. flour or rice water will cleanse
rs well as soap. To prepare, boil
pint Of rice in six quarts OF water I'M
Ill thoroughly done. strain, and use
the water for washing. Llght-tinted
goods may be safely washed in the
same way, as the thin paste. or starch
'.gater cleanses perfectly without fad
ting. Light yellow, pink. red ana
light shades of blue. should have one
tablespoonful OF salt TO every quart
OF rinse water. For lavender and ali
shades Of purple and heliotrope. usn
vinegar in the rinse water instead of
salt. in the same proportions. For
lilac or lavender colors which have
been sun-faded. the vinegar is par
ticularly good to restore color.
In rinsing black goods. IL is well
to us. one tablespoonful of turpen-
tine to gallon OF water instead OF
salt or vinegar. as this will keep II
from looking rusty. Blueing should
never be used in the rinse water for
any but blue colors. as 1t is very in
furious to other tints. In the rinse
water for dark blues, browns, blacks
and many other dark shades. vinegar
should be used.
For starching black or very dark
colors, only gum arabic or cheap
gelatine should be used. For making
the gum arabic starch. soak one ounce
OF gum arabic In water over night;
in the morning turn II into sauce
pan or inner vessel OF the double
boiler. filling the outer vessel with
cold water and place on the back OF
the range until the gum arabic is dis
solved: then. pour into 1t two quarts
OF boiling water, stirring. and strain
or the dissolved gum may be strained
into thin starch and used. Garments
washed IN paste water rarely need
starching, even when well rinsed.
Some laundresses use q little boraa
in the rinse water. claiming that this
will stiffen the goods as much as Is
necessary.-The Commoner.

Man and Wife,

The snow was falling. The day was
still and gray and cold. DR.. Parkhurst
shaking the white flakes from his
shoulders, said:
II have just witnessed an 1nstruc'

do not succeed.
"a man and his wife were walking
down a back street. The man had his
hands in his pockets. The woman car
ried a basket filed with cabbage and
beets.

their hands. As soon a the married

The Train Flew.

An old patriarch and his wife from
the hills. of Indian Territory were rid,
ing on a railroad train in the, Ghoctaw
Nation for the first time in their lives.
They were very much interested in
the scenery and the novelty Of their
experience when the train suddenly
ran upon a long trestle. Looking out
Of the window, the old people saw the
ground recede from beneath them, and
they held their breath In abject terror.
When the train finally reached the dirt
roadbed again the old woman looked
at her husband with q sigh Of relief
and said: "Thank the Lord, Silas,
we've lit"-KanSas City Journal.

Home ~Dresslnaking.

There is no way in which q woman
can save so much money as In making
her own clothes, but to do it to the
best advantage she needs to have
knowledge and experience. Working
with q home dressmsker is a good
training, and taking advantage of the
tricks Of the trade as seer in the shop
windows will save time and trouble.
For instance, the large buttons on out
side garments of the better class have
small buttons on the inside to hold
them in place. The thread Is not as
firm as this little helper and not rs
slightly. Frocks made from material
with q loose weave have q narrow
tape stitched with the seams so that
they cannot pull out. Buttonholes are
often strengthened with lip glue ap-
piled before the cutting or with ma
chine stitching between two rows of
which the cloth Is cut. These are what
I near by trick of the trade.-Boston

Reapect For Old Age.

In business we often push aside q
man who has just reached symmetry
and sanity to make room for some
young chap who has not outgrown his
rashness. Some Of US lie about our
ages, with no reason at all, forgetting
that the best things are old and much
of the worlds best work has been
done by those who have passed the
lire of threescore and ten. Life is
long enough If lived rightly. and we
need never dread the sunset when the
day is we'll spent. Why should all de-
sire old age and then grieve when 1t
comes? We are not sad when the har-
vest is ripe or when the ship returns
from a long voyage with a rich cargo.
If we cannot row the boat or climb the
masts. we can act as pilot, and If we
live the, simple life, using fruits and
cold water freely and living up to the
New Testament standard Of freedom
from worry, it will be light at even
tide" The October Of life will be our
Indian summer. the calmest and bright
est period. 1.-The hoary head is a
crown Of glory, if it be found in the
way of righteousness" The nan who
has made good use Of May and June
will come to his October in a good,
well-rounded old age.-The Rev Dill

What "sockers" Football Is.

So often has the term "socker" foot
ball been heard recently that the cor
rect designation of the game it rep
.resents has almost been lost sight OF.
There is no doubt that the new term
is much easier. to pronounce than the
correct appellation, association foot
ball. The origin Of the term-by the
way, the correct spelling is soccer
can be traced to Oxford University,
where the undergraduates invented
the name out Of the third, fourth and
fifth letters in the word association
with "cer" as all appendix. In the
