Among the curious records OF Ola
colonial days Is an Inventory OF the
Gods Of certain Dutch burgher of
Now Amsterdam, who included among
his household possessions thirteen
scrubbing brushes, thirty-one rubbing
brushes. seven other brushes" and
twenty-four pounds of Spanish soap.
The picture presented to the magma
ton by such a formidable array Of Inn
plements may be supplemented BY an
other. drawn a century later, evidently
by a not wholly unprecedented eye wit
ness Of what he describes. 1.-THE hus-
band gone, the ceremony begins-walls
are stripped Of their furniture, paint
ings, prints, looking glasses, lie In hud-
died heaps about floors; curtains are
torn from testers, beds crammed into
windows; chairs and tables, bedsteads
and cradles, crowd the yard; and the
garden fence bends beneath the weight
Of carpets, blankets, cloth cloaks, old
coats, under petticoats and ragged
breecheS This ceremony complete and
the house thoroughly renovated, the
next operation is to smear the walls
and ceilings with brushes dropped into
solution Of lime called whitewash, to
pour buckets Of water over the floor,
and scratch all the partitions and
wainscots with hard brushes charged
with soft soap or stone cutters sand. -
Small wonder that the good man pru-
IDENTITY redres! Ladies looking forward
to such strenuous day are hardly in
the frame Of mind for light and easy
conversation. But-wonder of these
wonderful days there is now a queer
machine that rattles and throbs In the
street while its long black pipes, climb
ing int upper windows of a building,
proclaim the passing of the old-fash-
Toned housecleaning. The vacuum
cleaners, joining the long procession of
taooT sayers-sewing machines, cook
ing and dishwashing machines, man
ees carpet sweepers, bread mixers, and
Countless others-are banishing one
more drudgery. Certainly woman's
"osk Is constantly growing physically
easier. Whether the more exacting de-
manos Of an age which changes it's
fashions every few months and its fads
every lev hours counterbalances its
ausaatagcs may be an open question.
oat enc thing is certain-the woman
WISE enough and resolute enough to
o'oose the best has In these days q
"eeuan from drudgery and a conse-
qaeat opportunity never dreamed OF

Don Bonifacio Guinea.

THE HERALD is sorry to learn
of the death of Don Bonifacio Gui-
nea, which occurred at his home
in Matamoros last night. He was
a well known Spanish merchant of
our sister city and was about 90
years old at the time of his death.
Deceased had been suffering for
two years or more with stomach
trouble, and had travelled ex-
tensively and consulted many
physicians in the hope of finding
relief, but gradually he grew worse
until death came to claim the suf-
ferer.
Deceased had been a resident of
Matamorosfor about forty years,
and was universally esteemed by
all who knew him both in Nata-
moros and Brownsville, and since-e
regret is felt on account of his
death.
He leaves wife and FIVE
daughters. all of whom are grown,
and a large circle of friends to
mourn his loss. To all of these
THE HERALD extends its most
sincere sympathy in their hour of
sorrow.
