An authority on fine laundering
says that hot water should not be used
in washing fine table linen or en-
broidered doilies. Cold water, white
soap and borax, if not borax soap,
should be used instead. One wonders
if all stains could be removed with
cold water, but the suggestion is
worth passing on. Certainly every
housekeer has at times had difficulty
in laundering table linen satisfact-
orily.
The judicial oath in the Isle of
Man is so quaint as to deserve print
ing. 1t runs thus "By this book
and the holy contents thereof, and by
the wonderful works that God hath
miraculously Y wrought in heaven above
and in the earth beneath in six days
and seven nights, | do swear that |
will, without respect of favor or
friendship, love or gain, consangunity
or affinity, envy or malice, execute
the laws of this isle justly between
our sovereign lord the king and his
subjects within this isle, betwixt party
and party, as indifferently as the
herring's backbone doth lie in the
midst of the fish,"
Belgium, the most populous country
in the world with half its farms two
acres or less in size; the largest per
capita consumer of champagne in the
world; ranks among the highest in
foreign trade per capita; its public
utilities all owned by the government
and operated in the interest of the
people, even its iron and coal mines
operated under leases that exact
percentage on the value of all their
product; its immigration from 6, 900
to 10000 larger, annually, than its
emigration, in spite Of its population
of almost 600 to the square mile, is
Boosting of its good times and general
prosperity
RUSSELL SAGE left nothing of
his colossal fortune to charity. About
three.quarters of a million are left to
relatives, all the rest to his widow. 1t
is possible that there may have been
an understanding between him and
her as to the ultimate disposal of this
great sum of money. OF course, the
press OF the country will jump on this
disposal of his estate, and still further
attempt to belittle him. That is
what they did while he was living,
and they will re-double their censure
now that he is dead. After all, what
did Russell Sage owe these lifelong
defamers that he should have disposed
OF his money as they wanted him to
do? Was he to give his millions in
return for the abuse they heaped up
on him? That is not human nature,
and especially not Sage nature. 1t
was his to do with what he would and
that is all there is to it.
