LAUNDRY LINES.

When ironing, move the iron with the
weave of the goods and IRON until per
fectly dry
If a washtub which leaks urust be
used before it can be properly mended,
fill the cracks from the outside with
common soap.
Have IL sIort piece Of hose to attach
to the water faucet and extend to the
washtubs to fill them and save time
lifting and backache.
If your wash boiler should rust, make
lining of unbleached cotton to fit it.
Use the cover to cut pattern Of the
bottom piece. This Is a splendid way
to keep clothes from getting spots Of
iron rust ON them.
If the woman who has to prepare the
clothes in the wash 70: ironing day will
take the trouble to fold them carefully
when they come from the line and will
not crumple them into masses of wrin-
kles in the basket before the folding
begins she will find the time required
for ironing reduced apprecably.

LOSS $4,000 A WEEK.
Cost of Municipal Ownership to English
Wage Farmers.

During the years 1901-05 the rate
of wages paid in Great Britain declined
to such an extent that at the end Of
that period the workers were getting
$4,000 less a week than In 1900 The
total loss in wages for the five years
compared with the wage scale of 1900
was more than $100,O00O00. The par
llamentary report from which these fig
ures are taken records Il reaction dur
ing the first half of last year, but the
Increase is but u bagatelle compared
with the enormous loss recorded above.
AS England is the country where gov
ernment and municipal ownership Is
most general, these figures show that
public ownership does not raise wages
in general, but raises the wages of the
few at the expense of the many.
This tremendous reduction in wages
Is due largely to increased taxation
caused by the losses of the government
and municipal industries, for higher
taxes mean higher rents and general
increase in the cost of production,
which must be offset in some way II
England is to maintain her trade in the
face of the worlds competition. The
easiest way to ecOnomize Is to cut
wages, and so the wage Garner has
had to pay for municipal experiments
both in lower wages and higher rents.
When the wage Garner is asked to
vote for municipal ownership he should
bear in mind that at the same time he
would vote for all that goes with it
higher living expenses and lower
wages, perhaps no wages at all. Who
benefits? The politician who gets a
new popular issue. the politicians close
friends who are put on municipal jobs
and the large consumer who gets his
service for less than cost. Where does
the wage Garner come in? He pays
the bills.

TIE PLAIN GIRL.
What She Must Do to Render Herself
Attractive.

The plain girl must not be Ill temper.
ed. If she has plain features. she need
not have an ugy disposition. Sht must
be so sunny in her expression that she
makes those who look at her forget
how plain she Is.
The unattractive girl can always
. have attractive hands. She can take
great care of her nails aud can polish
them until they are as pink as rose
leaves and rs glossy rs marble. She
can put soothing and bcautify!ag
creams upon them to make them white
and massage them until they are
plump.
The plain girl can learn to walk well.
There Is 10 reason why she should not
hold her shoulders erect and walk
gracefully. She can also have good
figure, and she can dress well. The
ugly girl can speak prett,ly and in this
way add charm to her personality. She
can be graceful too. The fact that ma
ture did not give her u naturally pretty
face need not keep her from being
graceful.
The ugly girl should have virtues of
heart, says Woman's Life. She should
cultivate kind heart. A god heart
shines through the eyes. You can tell
it the minute you look at person, and
how one loves person with kind
heart instinctively and with Il gush of
tender gratitude!

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
Purchasing Supplies In Bulk or In
Small Quantities.

Purchasing Supplies In Bulk or In
Small Quantities.
The question of whether 1t Is better
to buy family supplies in bulk or more
according to the 'hand to mouth" plan
is not to be answered without reServa-
ton. Undoubtedly when the family is
large and the mistress Of the household
will give attention to the manner in
which the supplies are used, considera-
Bile may be saved by buying in bulk
But even this means the supposition
that there is room enough for the
stores. 1t would be poor attempt at
economy to increase rent merely to
gain room for supplies on which the
saving must be an accumulation Of
small amounts.
Z Unless the mistress Of home has
good control over herself and servants
she ought not to buy in bulk 1t takes
a good deal of will power and more
business methods than exist In most
houses not to become slack when there
is an abundance Of everything on hand.
"Never mind; there is plenty more"
becomes frequent excuse for little
waste that may aggregate as much as
was saved by buying in large quantity
There is no place to keep perlshable
fruits and vegetables in a small house.
and it is much wiser to waive the small
per cent of saving that theoretically
would be made by buying In bulk and
let the marketman bear the loss in
these supplies by spelling. Be content
to help him out by paying Il tribe more

A special dispatch from Kirkwood,
Mo, to the Chicago Tribune states
that the municipal electric light plant
of that city has proved failure. The
generating plant will be shut down,
and electricity will be purchased from
a private company at One-third of what
it has cost the city to make it. The
city will sell to its customers at a
price high enough to enable it to light
the streets without cost to the tax
payers. This is typical of municipal
ownership inequity-to force the users
of electricity to pay for all the street
lighting. although they are not bene-
flied Gny more than the citizens who
use gas or oil.

PIuus of Tea,

"Plugs of tea, not unlike plugs of
tobacco, are used by the Russian
poor" says a globe trotter. "This
is low grade of tea, the stems are
mixed with. the leaves, and all are
pressed together by means of an ad-
hesive gum into a hard cake, or
plug. A very strong and bitter cup
of tea is made out of these tea
plugs, a cup that would give you or
me a nervous headache. But the
moujik is used to it, and he will
down twenty or thirty cups of plug
tea along with black bread, raw on
ions and salt fish and afterward
light his cigarette with as contented
sigh as you or l will heave on
Thanksgiving day at the end of
nine course turkey dinner" New
Orleans Times-Democrat.

ut will all come out of the pockets of

do is to establish municipal printing

a hundred million to start with. That
means only hundred thousand bonds
Of a par value Of $1,000. Or they
might get 'em out In smaller denom-
nations of 500 each so that the peo-
pie could buy them and thus put lot

best way to do, however, would be to
send them over to England, and sell
'em there, for 1t is an established fact
that there is always somebody in Eng

In the well regulated household the
setting of the table is an important and
carefully executed duty, for by the
manner in which the table is laid can
be judged the degree Of refinement and
taste of the housewife.
A few definite and simple rules are
here given:
Lay the cloth even and straight.
Place the knives and spoons at the
right Of the plates, with the handles
just reaching the edge of the table, the
knives nearest the plates, with the
sharp edges toward them, the bowls of
the spoons up.
Place the forks at the left, with the
tines up. On the right and at the point
of the knife place the tumbler.
The napkin should be folded fiat and
placed at one side.

Patti and the Emnaror.

A pretty story is told of PATHS
friendship for the old Emperor Will
liam l. of Germany. Once when she
was singing at Hamburg the king
sent her a message asking her to
walk with him in the morning when
he took the waters. Certainly
not" replied the prima donna to
the bearer of the message. '1 get
up early for no king in Europe" In
later years when the emperor, then
an infrm old man, sent to ask her
to visit him in his box, apologizing
for being unable to go to her be-
hind the scenes, she replied, with
tears in her eyes, "Oh, now, sire, /
would run anywhere to see you" ]"

PhiIadeIphia,s Waterworks.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger pre-
diets general shakeup in the water
department as the result of a recent in
spection Of the pumping stations. 1t
states that evidence Of neglect and in
efficiency was found on every hand,
This is not surprising in view of the
fact that some of the engineers" in
charge of pumping stations were orig
inally appointed as coal beavers and
owe to political influence their promo
ton to their present responsible posi-
tions. The officials admit that the con-
dition is serious, as much of the ma
chinery is so worn as to be incapable
of performing anything like its full
duty. 1t is also admitted that much Of
the material received for repairs, etc,
is defective and not in accordance with
specifications. This condition has been
