CARE OF HOUSEHOLD LINEN
Arrange In Separate Piles with
sachets of Scent Among

The linen cupboard with plenty of
Shelves is great convenience. hut
many housekeepers have to be con.

ers, as the scarcity of cupboards is
one of the drawbacks of modern
houses
When the shelves are turned out
and cleaned cover them with fresh Ia.
per when perfectly dry. Whether tho
linen is kept in drawer or cupboard
1t should be arranged in neat piles.
Tableclothes, table napkins and tray
cloths in one shelf or drawer, pillow.
cases and towels in another.
Sachets of lavender, thyme or rose
leaves should find a place among the
piles Of linen.
If any of the sheets show signs OF
wear, cut them in the middle and seam
the outer edges together, so that the
worn part is placed where it gets least
wear. 1t is a good plan on fine
warm day to take all the linen which
is not much used and hang it on line
for a few hours.

Stationary ironing Board.

One of the most satisfactory ironing
boards that ever | have used is a sta
tionary board hinged to the wall in
place of the usual movable one which
is placed on a table or chair. The
board is 5lh feet long, IA inches wide,
and IA inches thick, and is shaped in
the usual manner. 1t has two cleats
on the back to prevent warping. At
its wide end it is fastened with loose
pin hinges to three-inch cleat which
is screwed to the wall, so when the
board is in position to use kitchen
chair will form the support for the
board. When not in use the board is
turned up against the wall and held
in position by hook at one side.
The back of the board can be papered
or painted so as to match the wall,
and the cover for the board can be
pinned or tied on at each ironing, as
it takes but moment to prepare for
use

The painting, which was the work of
the artist Francisco de p Mendoza, n

executed at the request of the gov

Made for Fat Men.

One of the narrow arches in the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni
versity is not exactly symmetrical. al
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the wild.
ening of the arch after its original con-
struction had rise in a somewhat
humorous occurrence. One of the
early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors
decided to widen the arch sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was so constructed
as to bear no loss of width on one Of

Wants the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says:
The Jail has been well administered.
but is fuller than 1t should be, due, l
fear, to the abolition of the cangue

has no great objection to repeated
short visits to the jail, but shrinks
from repetition of corporal punish.

for the reintroduction Of this salu-

The Most DesoIate Spot.

Perhaps the most desolate spot on
earth is a tiny storm swept islet In
Bering sea nearly midway between
Alaska and Siberia. Nearly fifty miles
from the nearest land, Kings island Is
a barren rock, so steep that no beach
landing can be found. Here on the
southern side, perched like nests above
the roaring surf and secured TO the
rocks by walrus thongs, are the skin
dwellings of the walrus hunters. Here
the sun is never shining, the sea never
smooth. Cold, chilly fogs enshroud the
place In summer, while the frequent
and furious gales that sweep through
Berng strait at all seasons render the
narrow summit uninhabitable. Ice
locked during nine months of the year,
the natives depend entirely upon the
seal, walrus and whale as a means of
existence During the brief summer a
stray whalcr may visit the island for
couple of hours, but this is the sole
communication with the outer world.
The Kings islanders are closely allied
TO the Alaskan Eskimos. They are a
fine, hardy race, Injured to daily dan
gers and privations, and are reckoned
the best and bravest sailors in Bering
sea. Their boats of walrus hide will
carry from twenty to thirty persons in
a mountainous sea.
