WASHING MADE EASY.

Some much advertised washing
powders I find, always yellow and
rot the clothes, and by long expert
ence I find the use of kerosene or
turpentine whitens the clothes and
strengthens rather than rots the
thread, warp or filing.
For Kerosene: The clothes should
be soaked in cold, soft water over
night. In the morning put three
large pailsful of water into the boiler
with a good bar of soap shaved fne
and three tablespoonfuls Of kerosene.
When a good suds is boiling take out
one pailful of water for second boil
ing-dip in the cleaner, whittier
clothes and boil twenty minutes
take out, rinse well, put through
bluing water, starch and hang out.
For Turpentine: Rub the clothes
In the old-fashioned way, but place
in the boiling suds one teaspoonful
of turpentine to two ounces OF am
monia. Either of these methods in
sures, with care, a snowy whiteness
for your clothes.-Alta, in the In

WHAT LOVE MEANS.
"LoVe " ? :"


Do you know what it means? Not
in the dictionary, but in the hearts of
us who are still old-fashioned enough
to believe in it, and to believe that
this dreary old world has love and to
spare for humanity yet.
1t means the little head cuddled
against the mother breast. 1t means
that which bore with US through
years of folly, and pain, and un-
wisdom. The one who always for
gave. even when we hurt her the
most 1t means the one woman
like mother"-to be ours, from out
the whole world, till death does us
part.
1t means that which lightens toll,
sweetens poverty, divides our trouble
and shares our joy, and makes our
life worth the living. 1t means that
which marks for us with perennial
youth and beauty the bent shoulders,
the faded eyes, the wrinkled cheek,
the toil-hardened hands and the halt
ing feet.-Pittsburg Press.

G( a. %WEAR: g9)
Ef9sfh -G@

The sleeveless evening coat is hav-
ing a vogue.
Necklaces with stones to match the
gown are the latest craze.
A feature of many of the close
coats is the military collar.
Plain lightweight broadcloth in
very light colors will be worn.
Coronets of ribbon roses will be
popular for girlish heads.
Turnover cuffs of linen, with hem
stitched edges, are worn in deepest
mourning.
Checked voiles, in two-tone effects,
are exceptionally attractive for after
noon gowns when made with a silk
garniture.
One could hardly take better care
of the lacey, fragile sleeves of her
evening gown, than to wear a sleeve
less coat.
That imported fabric called pony
skin," because of its resemblance to
the fur, is being used for whole suits
as well as coats.
Fluffy marabou ruffs, accompanied
by muffs or without them, according
to individual taste, give just the need
ed touch of warmth.
One new tailored blouse has front
pleat at least three inches wide cut in
one with the yoke and trimmed on
both edges with pearl buttons.
Those extraordinary, nondescrip,
mad-looking plumes are used on the
new models, straddling all over the
shapes from front to back very often.
Most of the hats must be worn
quite far back on the head to allow
plenty of hair showing in the front
and on the sides, otherwise the line
will be unbecoming.

DREAM OF IDEAL WOMEN"

IF youth but knew" the proverb
runs. l often think "If woman but
knew"-knew the power she has of
bringing out the best in man and how
he longs for her to do it. If she but
knew how a man will laugh with her
and despise her when she forgets the
highest that is in her.
Most men take the tone of the con-
versation from the woman with whom
they speak. I fancy women whose
shrinking from evil is instructive and
not an artistic pose can do more for
the regeneration of the world than

Mrs. Catherine Sherwood, at the
age of f1fty-two, gave birth to triplets,
who were named respectively Frank

became sea captains and all lived to
be more than seventy years old. 1t is
related of the brothers that while in

LIFE WAS NEVER DILL

To those who are acquainted with
1t, the Uganda Railway seems to be a
mt subject to be dealt with in comic
opera. Named after colony through
which it does not run, starting frG n
terminus placed as far as possible
from the port it serves, running for
miles through natural game pre-
serves, with the result that trains are
frequently held up by wild animals,
every mile of the road is always a
fruitful field for adventure, and near
ly every mile has had some humorous
tale attached to it.
In the early days, when the road
had been open only a little while and
wild animals had not learned the fear
OF man, life on the line was interest
Ing and often exciting, says a writer
In the Colonizer. In August, 1905,
the traffic manager at Mombasa re-
ceived from the baboo stationmaster
at Simba a telegram marked 'ur-
gent
Lion is on platform. Please in
struct guard and driver to proceed
carefully and without signal in yard.
Guard to advise passengers not to get
out here, and be careful when coming
into booking Office
This advice appeared to be super
fuous. However, one bold sportsman
did get out, and by ascending a tree,
managed to shoot a lion and lioness
within a few minutes. He also
wounded another lion, the one which
had been waiting on the platform.
This lion, after being wounded, dis
appeared and could not be found, so
the sportsman went along the siding
to look for him. He found him sud-
denly, but owing to his own swift
ness in getting in blow on the jaw
after an exciting rough and tumble,
he was still there when the lion made
for the underbrush.
Later in the day the stationmaster
received another message from the
same agent zone African injured
again by lion. Please send cartridges
by next train, sure" And later from
the same man this:
"SWitchman is surrounded by two
lions while returning from distant
signal, and switchman on top of tele-
graph post near water tanks. Train
to stop there and take him on train
and then proceed. Please arrange
necessary steps,"
But it is not only big game that an
noys him, for on later day he sent
this bulletin:
Rats running about, eating holes
in ceiling and biting off switchman' S
toes. Send rat traps"

. OVER ST. ANTHONY FALLS.

Anthony Aspinatis, seventeen,
year-old Chicago boy, went over st.
Anthony Falls recently, and lives to
tell the tale. His perilous trip was
involuntary, says a writer in the St.
Paul Pioneer Press. Aspinatis ar
rived in Minneapolis one morning
from Chicago, and at once sought
work. He finally agreed with an en-
ployment agency to go to Garrett,
Montana, as teamster. He was not
to start until the next morning, and
so had the rest of the day and evening
to see the town.
After wandering about for some
time he strolled down to the river
bank. Near the Union Station, on the
west bank of the river, he saw a pile
of logs touching the bank. He
scrambled over these to the outer
edge and sat down on two small logs.
Before he noticed it they were float
ing, and he could not reach those still
firmly attached to the shore.
The boy realized that he was being
swept along by strong current, but
did not realize his full peril. He sat
straddling the logs, and padded with
his hands and feet against the cur
rent, but to no advantage. The logs
were swept into the centre of the
stream and over the falls.
When Anthony saw that he was go
ing over the great falls he leaned for
ward and grasped the logs firmly in
his arms. Over the apron he shot,
head foremost, and down the steep
incline into the turbulent rapids be-
low. He clung desperately to the
logs, but kept his head, and watched
alertly for a chance to save himself.
In the centre of the stream, be-
tween the falls and a bridge, is
small, rocky bit of land known as
Spirit Island. The boy saw it, and
decided to swim for it. He attempted
to remove his coat, but while trying
to do so was thrown by the boiling
rapids from the logs to which he had
clung, and was unable to recover
them. Pedestrians on the briLge had
seen him going through the rapids,
although none saw him shoot the
falls. The police were at once no.
titled, and hastened to his rescue in
the police boat.
Aspinatis is believed 10 be the only
person who Aas shot ST. Anthony
Falls and lived.

Coal that is excluded from the air

BARGAINS IN JAPAN.

The bargain counter has invaded
Japan, but it does not give rise to
the kind of scrimmages American
women are so prone to. So at least
says a woman who has been sojourn-
ing in the Flowery Kingdom. The
goods are placed in locked cases and
the heads of departments keep the
keys. Remnants only are laid on
mats, but there is no scrambling for
them, and fabrics are perfectly safe
in their neighborhood. But the shop
litter f1ourishes just as she does here,
the kimono sleeve being a handy re-
ceptacle for unconsidered trif1es. De-
tectives are just as necessary in Jap
anese stores, it seems, as in those Of
New York City.-New York Times.

BACKBONE OF PROSPERITY.

BACKBONE OF PROSPERITY
Women who manage small gardens,
small dairies, small poultry enter
prises and small laundries are the
very backbone of the prosperity of
France, says an English writer. The
Englishwoman has her pleasure gar
den, but the Frenchwoman gardens
for profit. From tiny plot of
ground Frenchwoman will realize
substantial sum every year, the labor
being all performed by herself and
her daughter, whose dot is augmented
thereby. To stay at home in idle
ness and spend money on a pleasure
garden while her husband is toiling
in the city would seem to be a thing
quite alien to the Frenchwoman's
mind.

German Chancellor Defends Army,

BERLIN, Nov. 29.--The sitting of the
reichstag was notable for the energetic
speech of Prince Won Bulow, the Ger
man imperial chancellor, In defense Of
the army, the emperor and himself
In replying to DR.. SPAIN, the leader
Of the Center party, who asserted that
conditions prevailing In the army re-
called those of ancient heather Rome
the chancellor rose full of fire and de-
clared that no one imagined that the
whole army was affected by few in
stances Of unworthiness, the roofing
out OF which, the chancellor assured
the house, would be sharply attended
to by the emperor than whom NO one
strove more for Il high tone of morall-
ty In both army and the nation.
1t was the crown prince. he said,
who had called his fathers attention
to articles in the Zukunft disclosing
corruption, with the result that i'm
mediate action was taken in the mat
ter. He pointed out that neither the
chancellor nor the ministers could take
such a step without holding proofs Of
their assertions
Prince Won Bulow then referred TO
the so called Court Camarilla. which
is widely alleged TO have been intiu-
encing the emperors decisions. No
one. he said, had ever accused the en-
peror of being without his own will,
and the camarila could only exist
where the monarch was willing. Such
poisonous growth as camarilla, he
declared, was utterly un-German, and
reports regarding its existence could
be taken as being without foundation
In concluding his address the chan
cellor denied the assertion that he had
dissolved the last reichstag IN order to
protect himself against personal at
tacks relating to his supposed partici-
patton In intrigues.
