|'Western New York Washing Fluid"

~ SA
A friend, giving no name, sends
the following in answer to E. F. Ms
query in regard to washing greasy
overalls: "Take one pound of com-
mon washing soda (sal soda) and
one-half pound of fresh, unslacked
lime (slacked lime will not do) pour
over it five gallons of water. Set on
the stove and stir until thoroughly
dissolved; set off and let settle, and
bottle the clear solution; or use jars
or jugs, labelling and corking, and
set out of the reach of children or
careless persons. This is a splendid
I've, and will remove dirt or grease.
Use one scant teacupful to a boiler of
water; bring to a boil with half a
cake of laundry soap cut up in it.
The greasy clothes must first be
wrung out of water in which they
have been put to soak for a short
time, then washed in this boilerful
of water. This solution is a great Ia
Dor saver, and will make washing al
most a pleasure" ,..
If this could be used with a wash
ing machine, much time and strength
might be- saVed.-The Commoner.

To Remedy Damp Walls.

The following simple process Is
said to effectually do away with all
dampness of walls. Applications are
made alternately Of dissolved CASTLE
soap and dissolved alum. Three
fourths Of a pound of soap is melted
in one gallon of boiling water. The
liquid thus obtained is thoroughly
beaten to cause a stiff froth. This
and the water are then completely
incorporated by stirring and made
boiling hot. The time for preparing
the wall should be after a long dry
spell, and as the wall must be as free
from moisture IS possible this condi-
ton can be assisted by the judicious
use of fires. Then brush the surface
to be covered until as clean as posi-
BILE. With a wide fiat brush coat the
surface with the boiling soap prepar.
ation, working it back and forth un-
'bles. Let it remain twenty-four hours
to dry out, then apply an alum solu.
ton made by dissolving half a pound
of alum in four gallons Of water.
The alum coating may be nearly at
blood heat. This should stand a day
or two to dry and harden; then an.
other application Of soap, the same
as the first, must be put on. How
many coats are needed depends on
the condition of the wall; sometimes
half a. dozen would be necessary,
says Woman's Life. The soap and
alum form a coating insoluble in
water, and this unites with the ma.
terial in the wall, filing all of the
crevices and making. a thoroughly
waterproof surface.-New York Tel
egram.

The Cement Age.

A man has invented a cement Shin
gle. 1t is a metal single covered
with cement, and is really a tile as
lasting as stone. AS cement becomes
more known, and it is learned that
every man can make his own cement,
there will be a boom in cement build
ing. The great cost Of building has
been the increased cost for material
and the high price Of skilled labor.
With cement there need be only one
skilled man and plenty of common
labor, even in building houses.
The price of cement is quite high
now, but there are vast supplies and
no possible monopoly. Cheap ma
chimes for making the blocks and
plenty of sand and a little knowledge
is the foundation, and the price out
side the cities will be cheaper. We
are beginning the cement age, and
concrete houses will be the houses
Of the future. Building lumber of
good quality is almost impossible and
brick and stone are out Of reach, so
cement is the Observation-Disclosures
Ledger.

font had in fact been Susan, which
suited better perhaps with her pat

door with a dramatic gesture worthy
of a French melodrama. Her Vigor-
Gus onslaught had been too much for
Mr.. Perry; men of his class can sell
dom stand against a woman's right
eous indignation, unless she happens
to be his wife. He had come to the
Laurels under a vague sense of ILL
treatment, he was indignant at
Sophy's absence from the ball, and
wanted to know the reason why
partly, perhaps, because he suspected
the reason; he knew that he had
earned her reproaches by drinking
her health on the river, and, there
fore, wished to establish a grievance
on his own account. But Jeanette
had routed him. He took up his bat
tered college cap, and muttering a
grudging apology about mot knowing
it was quite so late" and an ungra-
cious hope that the young lady's head
would not be so bad but that she
could be seen the next day, he passed
out into the night.
With a swift hand Jeanette locked
the door behind him, and stood lis
tening for his heavy step upon the
iron stairs.
Thank Heaven, that's Overt" she
exclaimed, with a great sigh of relief.
"Drat the man, / wish he was
drowned"
The aspiration was a.pretty strong
one, but there was little doubt of its
genuineness. Her eyes had still the
fire of indignation in them, her
cheeks were still flushed with it; her
bosom still p%alpitated with it quite as
much as with her late passionate elo-
quence. How Miss Sophy can stand
it," she went on, "amazes me. 1t
would wear me to skin and bone. Oh,
Jemimaram, if he hasn't come back
.again!" ,
The ~fnterjection was caused by the
same tapping on the door lock with
out, that had already summoned
Jeanette from her duties about her
young mistress. She had little doubt
that she had heard Alright, but she
was very willing to believe herself
deceived. The wind was still roar
ing and raging, and it was just pos
sible that what she had just heard
was but the swinging of the iron gate
of the balcony. Surely, surely, after
that piece of her mind had been given
him, not apparently, with such ex-
,cellent effect, Mr.. Herbert Perry
could not desire admtttance a second
time. Yet, as she listened with pain
full intentness, with her ear at the
keyhole, there came again the well
known summons. 1T fs him, drat
him!" she murmured; and with the
same precautions as before, but rem
dered more difficult by the angry
trembling of her limbs, she opened
the door a little space, when, without
making it any wider, to her horror
and amazement there slipped in, like
a serpent, the attenuated frame Of
MI. John Adair.

Facts About Eggs.

4 good egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth
of shell.
A fresh egg has a lime-like surface
to its shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to
the shell are freshly laid.
Eggs packed in bran for a long
time smell and taste nasty.
Thin shells are caused by a lack OF
gravel, etc., among the hens laying
eggs.
After an egg has been laid a day
or more the shell comes off easily
when boiled.
If an egg is clean and golden in
appearance when held to the light 1t
is good; if too dark or spotted, it is
bad.

Generating Electricity at Pits Mouth

Of recent years a good deal has
been said about generating electricity
at the pits mouth, and transmitting
it to various industrial centres. But
it would be considerably cheaper to
manufacture producer gas at the pits
mouth and transmit it through pipes
to the industrial centres, there to use
it for driving gas engines for general
ing electricity and also for heating
purposes and furnace work. The
question of the distribution and trans
mission of power must not be con-
fused. For the former it is agreed
that there is no agent to compare
with electricity. For the latter pur-
pose it is suggested that it is more
economical to employ producer gas
and piping than electricity and cables.

Whisky Demoralizing.

"I have defended forty-one men

and nineteen out of twenty of the
crimes were caused by whisky; I have
defended lots Of other criminal cases

that nineteen out Of twenty of them
were caused by liquor. Whisky is the
most d~emoralizing thing in the world.

comes to hand" This is the declara-

Device to Cool a Sick Room.

I would like to suggest through
your paper to the thousands who are
obliged to remain in town during the
hot weather-especially to those car
ing for the sick-my plan for cooling
the sick room. I place a pad made
of a folded piece of old blanket, on
the stone ledge Of the window (Which
the sun keeps very hot), and keep it
wet all day. The rapid evaporation
keeps the stone perfectly cold, and
the air passing over it is perceptibly
cooled, and gives much relief to the
