Caring For Mems Clothes.

There is no cleaning fluid that |
have ever had any experience with
that equals gasoline as a clothes
cleaner, but it is very explosive and
care should be taken not to use ii
near a fire or light. The safest way is
to use it in the open air. To avoid
the unsightly circle that often ap-
pears when a grease spot has been
removed, the cloth should be rubbed
lengthwise and with the weave, and
the rubbing should be continued un-
til the cloth is perfectly dry. Honey,
molasses or any sticky substance may
be removed by rubbing with slightly
diluted alcohol. A coat, vest or pair
Of pants that are not much soiled, will
come out of a good gasoline bath
looking almost like new. First,
brush and shake the garment until
it seems perfectly free of dust; then
remove the spots and put the gar
ment in O bucket and pour enough
gasoline over it to saturate it thor
oughly, then cover the bucket to keep

it for two hours. Press and squeeze
as much of the fluid out as possible,
then hang the garment over the line,
and it will need no ironing. When
garment is much soiled, the best way
to get it clean again is to remove
the spots and wash the garment
through a strong suds to which q
tablespoonful OF borax has been add
cd, and a little of the borax should
be added to the rinsing water, as it
will not only soften the water, but
will brighten the color of the goods.
The buttons should be removed and
the buttonholes basted together be-
fore washing, and If the sleeves and
pant legs are worn around the edges,
rip out the hens and turn them up
far enough to conceal the worn part,
and run skirt braid on the under
meath side, and the garment will look
much nicer when finished. Florida

MARKETING WESTERN FRUIT.
Shipments Directed by Wire to Point
of Greatest Demand.

Until 1898 California fruits were
sold through commission merchants,
to whom the individual growers con-
signed their entire crop. The ex-
pense for transportation and the keen
competition, as we'll as the immense
outlay for commissions, resulted in a
number of the large growers of. Cali
fornia organizing the Southern Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange.
Since 1898 this has been reorgan-
lied several times, but it is still in
existence under the title of the Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange. 1t is cooper
ative and has only nominal capital
stock. According to Moody's Maga-
zine, it performs every duty for the
growers belonging to it from the
time they bring their harvest to the
packing house until they get their
crop money.
1t takes complete control, grading,
packing, stripping, finding buyers
and selling, so that its members do
nothing but the agricultural part. Its
representatives throughout the dis
tricts receive and receipt for the
wagon loads, and the horticulturist
goes home to attend to his orchards
and wait for his check. The chief
competitor Of the California Exchange
is California Citrus Union.
By the present method of market
ing fruit daily wire reports on the
condition and whereabouts of every
shipment are sent to Les Angeles.
Like train dispatcher the manager
at headquarters guides every car
from the side tracks in the orchards
over the branch lines and the trunk
lines. He has the power to divert
shipments into the most available
markets.
Hundreds of cars leave California
daily with only general destination,
and these cars must be sent to the
point of greatest demand. If through
his wire reports the manager finds
that New York is receiving too much
fruit, that there is danger of a break
in the price, he direrts part of the
New York shipment to Philadelphia
or Baltimore or Plttsburg.
He must see to it that every dis.
trict has enough fruit, but not toe
much. He must keep the market
even. He must get the top prices
ard yet sell all his fruit. He must

Fisherman's Luck.

perhaps my most amusing fishing
experience in Italy was during a week
in Naples" says the author of "The
Salt of Ny Life and gives the story
in these words:
Toward sunset one afternoon
was strolling toward my hotel along
the parade, when I came across q
ragged sportsman angling with a very
long bamboo from the pavement. He
looked merry sight, and I seated
myself on the parapet beside him.
We were soon deep in as comfortable
q conversation as is attainable be-
tween broken Tuscan and pure Nea-
politan. We discussed rods, and /
asked him to let me feel the weight
Of his, which must have been thirty
feet long. With native courtesy he
handed it to me as if it were mine,
and no sooner was it in my hands
than down went the top, and / was in
good fish, which circled in vain on
the unyielding line, and l soon raised
a black sea-bream of probably three
pounds.
"Of certainty none of his other
fish weighed more than as many
ounces. He was too amazed to do
more than stammer his thanks, and

crossed himself, regarding the blac':

Nine-Gored Skirt.


The plain nihe-gored skirt is al
ways desirable one. 1t never really
goes out of style, the many seams
mean satisfactory fit and good lines,
while it is always a desirable model
for washable materials, as it laun-
ders with singular success. Again,
the very fact of its simplicity makes
1t possible to use trimming of many
sorts. Here Is very satisfactory
model that, as illustrated, is made of
dotted linen with trimming of linen
braid and which is entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t could, however be utilized
for every possible skirting material
while the trimming can be varied in
an indefinite number of ways.
Straight bands of heavy lace inset are
much used on washable fabrics, while
for the pongees, silks, voile and the
like bands of graduated width of con-
trasting material are much in vogue
and there are countless landings that
can be applied to suit individual
taste.
The skirt is made in nine cores
and is laid in inverted pleats at the
back. 1t is perforated for walking

Salads.

The use of salads prepared from
tender plants and vegetables is to
be encouraged, rs tender vegetables
are among the most healthful foods
to be had. While they may not be
very nourishing in themselves, they
contain salts, which are very excel
lent correctives, and these salts are,
in many cases, changed or destroyed
in cooking. Salads made of raw veg
etables contain an alkaline salt which
is of the greatest value in all skin
disease. Such foods are appetizing,
and the oils used with them are nour-
ishing If not killed by too much vine
gar, pepper, and like seasonings.
