ARIS, June 23. Seldom in recent

- been made here than has been

recently, when Nine. Lie Bargy sud

Washing WooIens.

To wash blankets so they will re-
tain their first freshness use soft
water arid plenty of it. Make a
strong suds of soap, and in it i'm
merse the blankets, previously shak-
en- free of dust and lint. Never rub
the soap directly on the articles,
Wash With the hands. Never rub
on board. Rinse through several
waters, having each hotter than the
one which precedes it. This is the
one great secret of the process. The
heat expands the wool and keeps it
soft. Shake out well, pulling the
edges straight, and dry quickly.
Wash all woolens the same way.

LOVE AND PERSONALITY.
One ExplsnstIon Of Why the American
People Are Beautiful.

People Are Beautiful.
Personality is always a mystery
with its antithetically mingled ele-
ments in man and woman. Women
have loved wrongly and known it,
were perfectly aware of it-they
only know also that they were help
less to avoid it. The desire of their
lives has been gratifed, something
has happened.
What was there about George
Sand, save perhaps pretty good eyes,
to send such men as Alfred de Mus
set and Friedrich Chopin absolutely
crazy? Nothing interesting about
her-even her unattractiVeness en-
HANGED BY her constant smoking.
Yet she could inspire the 'HPre-
lude," which Chopin composed on
seeing her approach in a garden in
Minorcs-the greatest piece Of mu-
sic ever compressed into a single
page.
Goethe's Gretchen, the little
bourgeoise, without apparent at
tractiveness, yet inspiring his nigh
ty genius-what is this mystery of
man and woman? The beauty of
nations differs very much. The
Iatins are less beautiful than the
Anglo-Saxons. The angularity Of
the north German woman is notori-
Ous-an uneharming person. Why?
1t has nothing whatever to do with
race. The growth of the Hanseatic
cities brought great wealth in north
Germany. Money bags married mon
ey bags. The result was people Of
severely plain aspect. There are
not many money bags in America,
although there are many money
bags in the hands of the few.
The Americans are a beautiful
race. The American is insulted if
mention of dowry is made in his
wedding arrangements. He marries
because he loves the woman and she
him; hence the American people
have become exceedingly beautiful.
Then the facilities for divorce pre-
sented in the United States are an
important factor in the beautifca-
ton process. Love is really at the
bottom of it all-not money bags or
race, but love.
The French are always talking
about "Pamour, lamourp But
really there is no "amour" there at
all-people generally talk most
about what they haven't got or don't
know. Yes, indeed, so rare is
'Pamour" in France that it accounts
for the decline in facial beauty Of
the Frenchwoman = not in move
ment, for in movement she excels
the world, but in face. Rome and
Greece we're ruined by treating mar
rage as a matter of business.-Dr.

Mexican Water Jars.

The Mexicans do not use ice, but
nevertheless there is no country
where a man can get glass of cool,
sweet water quicker than in Mexico.
The water jars are made of porous
pottery which allows the water to
ooze through the material of the
tanks, and the evaporation keeps it
always cool. 1t is not cold, like our
ice water, but it is all the better on
that account, as a man can drink
twice as much and never feel in the
least injured, no matter how large
his drafts. Australian ranchmen
frequently put water into skin bot
ties which they suspend from the
veranda, and the air swaying the
skins back aud forth cools the wa
ter and renders it more palatable.

Glass Broken by the Voice.

1t is scarcely credible, but it is a
fact, that a glass can be broken by
the voice. If you strike thin wine
glass while you hold it by the stem
it will emit a certain note, in most
cases a pretty deep one. On bring
ing the glass rapidly to your mouth
and shouting into it the same note
az loudly as possible, the vibrations
of the glass being thereby extended,
it will be shiyered into fragments.
This used to be fayorite expert
ment Of Lablache, the renowned
singer, who would thus break, one
after the other, as many glasses as
were handed to him.

Toast Better Than Bread.

Toast is better as an article OF
diet than ordinary bread, says
Health, for the simple reason that
it is better cooked and therefore
more easily digested. The toasting
destroys the life of the yeast and
eliminates some Of the harmful
products of yeast fermentation, and
the action Of the heart converts the
starch into a more digestible sub
stance.

Keep the Iron Hot.

The best way to keep an iron hot
is instead of using the ordinary
ironstand, which lets the air
through to the bottom of the iron,
take a clean brick and set it on the
stove for half an hour before using
as a stand for the iron. This keeps
the heat for a long time and saves
having to heat often.
