him sat a lady in silk dress and
carrying a muff. On the rear seat was
an old lady of about sixty and also
a nurse taking care of child. The
husband was evidently left behind to
fight the flames.
At the sides of the road there were
hundreds of people on foot, of all kinds
and conditions. We passed an italian
family among the rest, mother, father,
wife, and child. The latter was tiny
tot of about five years. Sne was dress
or entirely in white even to shoes and
stockings. The family had gone ten
miles already and the poor little mite
was utterly exhausted. Her eyes were
closed and every few steps she would
lose her footing and drag for several
yards until her father would jerk her
upright again.
Further up the road we overlook a
four-horse outfit that had passed us
sometime before on its way to the
city. A wealthy man had stopped the
driver and was trying to purchase the
whole outfit for $500. but the driver had
relatives in the city whom he was
seeking and refused TO sell.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. April %.
Hardly had the earthquake done its
work and fire taken possession Of San
Francisco before the fight of the refu-
gees commenced. In the next a hours
thousands left the doomed city, either
by way OF the ferries and river steam
.ers or along the county road leading
from san Francisco to San Jose.
On Thursday morning, the day after
the earthquake, I drove up the county
road towards San Francisco, and be-
fore reaching the heights near Colma
overlooking the city. [ srnust have pass
ed over five thousand people, either
camping alongside the road or hurry
ing southwark The majority were on
the move, and their one desire SEEM
ed to be to put as much space as pos
4sible between themselves and the city.
Automobiles seemed to be used the
most by the refugees. and they Were run
at top speed. 1t was miracle that
no one was hurt, for it was a case ef
everyone for himself, and there was no
limit to the speed maintained. From q
distance the road looked like a long
trail of smoke the dust was so thick.
1T was a question with US for while
as to whether we would be able TO
make our way up to the city against
this onrushing well-nigh resistless tide
of humanity which whirled past us in
a never-ending stream.
At times we could not see two
hundred yards ahead. and then sud-
denly out of the smoke would come

could hardly be distinguished he was
so covered with dust. He was gener-
ally bending over the wheel, his eyes
glued on the road ahead, and nothing
on earth could have distracted his
gaze. 1t is safe to say that many OF
the machines were going thirty miles !
an hour, and that on bad road.

seemed to be having some

afterward that the child labor inspect

Even the twelve to fourteen hours a

aspiration in Rose Pastors soul. She

Then about the time she was grown her
family removed to New York, and Rose
rolled cigars and composed the prose
and poetry she wrote down in her scant
leisure moments. At last came gold

cigar factory and became a newspaper
woman, contributor to Jewish paper.

strong suds with white CASTLE soap
Or any other kind of good white soap
and to two quarts of suds add one tea
spoonful Of borax dissolved in half a
pint Of hot water, says the Philadel-

cold put the gloves on the hands and
wash them slowly and gently, as il
washing the hands. Rinse In the same
manner in clear water; then draw off
gently and hang In shady place to
dry, drawing them into shape when
they are almost dry. When perfectly
dry rub between the hands to soften
them.

sit is really very simple to clean the
sheerest and finest of laces if you un-
derstand how says woman in the
Pittsburg Dispatch who has made it
a practical business for fifteen years
and who regularly cleans laces for
wealthy society women. Il always
soak laces overnight in cold water
after carefully soaping them with
white or CASTLE soap. At the end of
twelve or fourteen hours lift them
carefully from the first water and
drop them into lukewarm in which !
have previously made the suds. With
the tips of my fingers I move the laces
gently up and down so that the soapy
water runs through the meshes and
carries out the dirt. AS soon as this
water looks dark repeat the process
until with the last washing the lace
looks clean and the water is not dis
colored.
"a clean cold water is used to rinse
them in, and if desired dip the laces
through a blue water that helps to
whiten those that have become yellow
with age. If the laces are very old
and look lifeless put them through a
thin starch made from gum arabic and
water that is sure to give the coveted
freshness Of even new laces
Throughout the cleaning I do not
once rub the nets. Once the lace is
pinned in shape on the drying board it
should be put in the sun, where it will
dry and whiten as it dries. When re-
moved from the drying board the lace
should be crisp and fresh looking. If
it is not to be used Immediately /
would advise rolling and wrapping
carefully in blue tissue paper, which
helps to keep it white.
Occasionally laces look yellow after
the washing, and to take out this I'M
desirable discoloration I rub them all
over with white soap after putting
through the blue water and lay them
fat on a white china plate in the sun.
In most cases I have found that this
treatment bleaches successfully. Ii it
does not the first time repeat it until
they are whitened."
One way to clean black lace at home
after thoroughly brushing it with a
soft whisk to get out the loose dust is
to dip it through ordinary drinking tea
in which a little melted white soap
has been poured. It is then rinsed
through clear tea and soaked in tea
preparation for several hours.
This last washing of tea is made
from one teaspoonful of gum arabic,
the same amount of dry tea, to which
is added a pint of boiling water. Aft
er these ingredients have been well
cooked over slow fire into a kind Of
thin jelly it is strained through cloth
and is ready for use.
The lace is dipped in and out of this
preparation for several minutes and
should then be put to dry, stretching
out the edges and figures in the pat
tern with pins on smooth backing.
When dry the lace should be perfectly
clean and free from all spots and
crisp like new.
