sheep Raising In Australia.

The greatest industry Of Australia is
sheep raising. mainly for the sake OF
the wool, but also In part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries, Argentina being first with
$4,000, 900 sheep, Australia second with
72.000,000. and Russia third with TO-.
100000. Only a few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than O6,260,000 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced In 1897, being of the Spanish
merino species.

Chinese conception Of the foreigners
treatment of infectious cases: IF an
epidemic broke out two foreigners
took the sick away and put them in
little room. washed them with lime
water and then locked them up, SO
that no one could see them, on pur-
pose that they might soon die and not
propagate the disease. Wives and
children might cry and weep, but the
foreigner would but drive them away
with sticks, for until dead no one
must see those faces again. Better
for all of us to jump into the sea than
submit to this."-South China Post.

Covering for Furniture.

II one has proper covers for the
furniture and pictures great deal of
trouble can be saved on sweeping
day.
Buy cheap print cloth.
Have three breadths in the cover,
and have 1t three yards and a half
long. 1t should be hemmed on the
sewing machine.
Six covers is the usual number,
though some households will not need
nearly that many.
Always remove these coverings
carefully, then take them outdoors to
be shaken.
Z They will last long time, and pay
for themselves In a year, because
they save so much extra busting and
the moving of heavy articles.

How to Air a Bed.

It is not every one that can air a
bed and make 1t properly.
The first thing in the morning the
bed should be stripped Of every COW
ering and left to air thoroughly.
Don't, however, leave a window
open directly upon the bed linen with
a fog or rain prevailing outside.
It is not uncommon to see sheets
and bedding in front of windows with
perhaps rain not actually falling, but
with 80 per cent. OF humidity in the
air, and the person sleeping In that
bed wonders the next day where she
got her cold.
A room should be aired In damp
weather, but the bedding and bed
should not be allowed to absorb any
dampness by being brought close to
the window.

WASHING FINE LACE
urMbeT CARE NEEDED FOR
THEIR PRESERVATION.
Delicate Fabrics Easily Ruined by
Rough HandIIng-Rlce Water Ex-
oellent to Use for Renovation
Of Delicate Material.

Inc washing and doing up of laceS
10 very dainty work, 10 dainty, indeed,
that 1t Is useless leaving such things
TO strong-minded and stronger-limbed
washerwomen, from whom such I'D.
ding" work gets either scant atten-
ton or robust zeal which is equally
disastrous.
The fortunate possessor of very
hne laces cannot be too careful in
washing them. Even the gentlest rub
bling must be avoided IL the lace is
to be preserved. -
1t goes without saying that no
starch must be employed. II neces-
sary these laces may be stiffened by
the use OF little white sugar moist
ened In the last rinsing water. White
lace, II not too much soiled, may be
revived by breathing on it, shaking
and Tapping it.
Valenciennes and other soft laces
may be stiffened with thin boiled
starch, while duchess, Honiton and
laces of that description can be stiff
ened with gum water.
Valenciennes is said to be the most
profitable Of the finer laces, and being
made with round, whole thread IL
treated with ordinary care can hardly
be worn out.
1t can be washed any number of
times, and not being so easily de-
stroyed as the point or applique laces,
which are more or less fragile, it has
the soft effect of lace without at
tracing too much examination.
Lace should always be soaked be.
fore washing, more especially If 1t is
much soiled, in water in which a
teaspoonful of borax has been dissolv-
ed. The water should be boiling, the
usual proportion being one pint of wa.
ter to every teaspoonful of borax.
Then make lather with some good
soap and hot water.
Take the lace from the water in
which 1t has been soaked, place it in
the soapy water and squeeze 1t ex-
actly as If it were a sponge till 1t is
clean.
This will prevent the lace from be-
ing torn, more especially IL it is Of
uuc hdhc. TepcdI Tie pTOCeSS IL HcC-
essary in another basin of soapy wa
ter. Then rinse in clean cold water
until all the soap is removed. II
the lace is white, little blue in the
rinsing water will improve the color.
A very little stiffening will prevent
ordinary lace from soiling quickly.
This process, however, must not keep
the fabric from falling into soft
folds.
The water in which rice has been
boiled is very suitable for this pur-
pose. Wash two tablespoonfuls of
rice until it is perfectly clean, then
put it into a saucepan with one and a
half pints of water.
Boil for three or four minutes,
strain, then allow the lace to stand
in the water for few minutes.
Take 1t out, squeeze tightly, pull 1t
into shape. and put 1t under heavy
weight. If after repeated washings
the lace has still soiled look, it may
either be bleached in the sun or boiled.
Put into jar or preserve pot
with cold water to cover 1t, and lit
tie melted soap. Stand the jar in a
pan of boiling water to reach fully
half way up the Jar, put the lid on
the pan and boil for two or three
hours.

ENGAGED CATHOLICS

After next Easter Roman Catholics

new matrimonial regulations which
Pope Plus X has ordered enforced in
America, as they have been in Cath

Trent in the sixteenth century. The
official notice from the Pope has not
been received, but the local heads of
the church are advised of the new
rule through the official church pa

At present Catholic churches pub

announcement made from the pulpit
by the priest that the persons are TO

A Communication.

Editor Record / was an interest
ed spectator last Thursday when the
Roswell Fire department was testing
the r. S. Hamilton we'll on Main
street, and as citizen of Roswell |
must confess that l was heartily
ashamed of the appearance of both
the valuable engine and hose wagon
and the harness of both teams. Tne
horses looked we'll groomed, but the
wood part of the engine, the hose
wagon and the harness looked like
they belonged to some poor widow
woman. 1t is true the metal part of
the engine was polished, but that's
all. The wood work was dirty and
dull looking, while the harness look
ed as if it had never been cleaned.
1t does look like with not more than
one fire a month and nothing to do,
that some one who is getting pay
from the city should care for the
COSTLY wagons and harness. Our not
ed fire chief surely did not see any
such looking outfit as that when he
visited the different departments in
the United States recently.

Editor Record In complying
with your request for my views upon
the subject of waterworks for Ros
well, l must say at the beginning
that l feel it is a waste of time and
space to discuss the subject until af.
ter We have had a disastrous fire
Over half the people oppose grant
ing a private franchise, over half op-
pose the installation of a municipal
plant at this time, and it might be
added over one-third of them are op-
posed to any kind of waterworks at
this or any other time. Some of them
are candid enough to say so, others
will dodge the real issue by finding
objections to any proposition that
might be brought up.
Individually, my preference is for
a municipal plant. / believe that the
city can construct and equip plant
: just as caeaply, and as well, as it can
be done by individuals. L believe fur
ther that the city can operate a plant
as cneaply and as we'll as can indi-
viduals. My observation of what has
been done in other cities lead me to
this view. q take no stock in the ap-
prehelsion of there necessarily being
graft in the management of munich
pally conducted utilities. Ny observa-
tions have forced upon me the convic-
ton that men who are always crying
graft" will bear constant watching
in their own dealilgs). No set of men
would ask for a private franchise for
waterworks plant that did not carry
with it a contract for the rental of a
sufficient number of fire hydrants, to
be paid for by the city, to pay inter.
est on the investment This alone
would Offset the interest on the bonds
of a municipal plant, and l have yet
to learn of any private enterprise

er than municipalities where condi-
tions are anything like equal. Then.
too, there is a chance of reducing the
bonded Indebtedness. while with pri-
vate ownership the burden is perpet-

TELLER FAvoRS STATE
HOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 26.-Gover
nor Curry has received the following
letter in regard to statehood for New
Mexico from Attorney j. NJ. Freeman
of Greeley, Colorado. former member
of the Colorado legislature:
I am again home from my trip to
New Mexico. On my arrival in Den
yer l called on Senator H NJ. Teller
and spoke of our conversation con
cerning the admission of New Mexico
as a state, etc. He said he was most
heartily in favor of its admission and
that ne believed if the proper efforts
were made it could now be reasona-
bly, assured of success, and to tell you
that you and the people of New Mex
leo could count on his hearty aad act
i've support. That while he was will
ing to bring forth the bill for its ad-
mission in the senate, yet he thought
it would be better policy to have the
bill introduced by some Republican
friend of the administration botn in
the senate and in the house, and he
seemed to believe that tie President
would not oppose its admission pro-
vided that the people of New Mexico
are earnest and practically unanimous
for its admission He is an earnest
and sincere friend of New Mexico,
and you may count on his best eff
forts in that behalf"

A few words as to the proposition
recently submitted to the voters. The
chief objection to it was lack of pub
licity. AS a matter of fact, it was a
plain business proposition, absolutely
free from any reasonable suspicion.
The terms of the contract to be en-
tered into, had the bonds been voted
were explicit and fair The material
called for was first class. The work
manship demanded was of the first
order, and the city retained an am
pie margin for protection and as a
well done until after the plant had
been completely installed, thoroughly
tested and accepted. The work was
to be done and the materials furnish
ed by competitive bids, and the city
had the right to select any engineer
the council saw fit to supervise the
work and inspect the material, his
services to be paid for by the design
ing engineer out of the commission
to be paid him. These Things many
some from choice, some from indiffer-
ence, and others that it might be
made the basis for an excuse for op-
position. All of which impels me to
repeat that it is useless to discuss
water works until we have a half
million dollar fire.
