or the blouse or other articles upon
which they are sewn is quite likely to
be spoiled
Many delicately tinted and daintily
trimmed blouses-usually sent to the
cleaner-can be laundered to perfec-
ton; but 1t behooves the customer to
understand that In such cases the IRON
ers who take this difficult and tedious
work in hand require proper compensa-
ton. ...#.
III stains caused by tea and coffee,
wine, etc, are to be removed. Ii is al
ways best to mention this fact in the
book; for no self-respecting laundry
uses chemicals unless specially asked
to do so. The needful process will be
undertaken at the customers own risk
only.
Lace curtains ought never to be kept
up until very dirty. If sent after long
exposure to strong sunlight 1t is quite
likely that they will almost fall to
pieces when starched.
Nor should needful mending be for
gotten, for 1t Is inconsiderate to send
tattered garment to the laundry ana
expect 1t to be returned in no worse
condition.
One OF the sorter's principal duties
is TO note with a line OF colored cotton
every tear and hole: but after a little
thought ii is obvious that this task can
only be superficially carried out in the
press of business. 1t follows, therefore,
that a vast amount tof mending is un-
dertaken at the laundry, which In
reality should be done at home. and
however agreeable a method this may
prove to customers, 1t makes the labors
OF the laundry mender unduly onerous.
Provide your own hamper, which will
insure its exclusive use, and If 1t Is
scrubbed now and again at home with
water, absolute cleanliness will be as
sured.

THE PERFECT WIFE.

Talking of women. the greatest artist
OF all is the perfect wife. She gets no
applause no press notices. no orchids,
yet she does more successful acting in
one year than the greatest actress with
the longest season. She has no make
ND or limelight to help her either, only
the native cleverness and intuition with
which merciful providence has en-
1dowed every daughter of Eve to make
up for other means of self protection
which she does not possess.
AS to business ability. every day of
her life she makes 10 cents do the work
OF dollar, and that's the proportion
big financiers work on.
Talk about tact and patience of q
hospital nurse The nurses do not have
10 live all their lives with their
-scranky'' patient, but how many wives
do. Think of the cross grained man.
the dyspeptic man the worst OF all)
sullly man, and think of the artist of a
woman II takes to be able to live with
zach man. Then In the case OF chill
'dren, consider the keen Judgment, the
self control required. %n
The plain successful wife Is tremen-
dously underrated. She Is as various
as the chameleon. She comes nearer
being genius than many OF the
"geniuses' OF which one hears so much
nowadays.

HEALTH GIVING CURRENTS

Is your bed north by south? Science says
\ should be. Housekeepers are gravely
LdVised by certain British men Of learn
ng that In the arrangement of the sleep
ing room the bed should be thus placed.
Hete Is the reason assigned:
1t is a singular coincidence that an
earthquake areas range from north to
Iouth, so there are continually passing In
he same direction health giving currents
II electricity. Are you taking advantage
,f these magnetic currents? Many suffer-
Irs from nerves" are now being cured by
tome form of electrical treatment
An explanation Of these magnetic cur
'ents will interest says Tit Bits.
The mariners compass always points,
Us we say, north and south.
If a needle was floating In water imme-
liately above the pole. then we should
ind that the position of the needle was
IN upright one Apparently a gigantic
magnetic Is buried deep down In the
ground. A similar dipping OF the nee
lie would take place at the south mag
aetic pole, but the exact position of this
after has not yet been definitely fixed
Now between these magnetic areas reg
Ilar electrical currents run. They are not
running in straight lines, because OF the
Immense amount OF mineral ore hidden
N the earth.
When the earth Is troubled Numerically
!huRder storms, sheet lightning and the
Inc spectacle Of the aurora boreaiis or
northern lights" are among the visible
affects.
When sleeping, II Is advisable to have
1ur beds facing the south. We are then
N the direct line OF any refreshing infiu-
snoes OF nature. Perhaps the Indian rec
,gnized this fact unconsciously when he
wrapped himself UP In his skin rug on
.he prairie, with his head to the north
star.

Anecdote of William the Conuueror
One day King William the Conqueror
was seen to kick himself. whereupon the
estates of the realm voted an address TO
the throne, calling for an explanation,

"Why, certainly" replied the sovereign,
graciously. ''The doctor told me should

There is a veritable craze in Paris
for beautiful golden brown shade In
glazed kid shoes American women re-
turning from Paris have had their
boots made in this attractive color, and
dealers In this country are now dis
playing fascinating footwear in the
new brown shade. This Is not only
charming fad but a senatble one as
well. Cor the glazed kid is practically
waterproof and as the shade is an
unobtrusive one, the shoes harmonize
with the popular color combinations
OF the season.

Gossip of the Track

Cheers and manifestations of enthu-
siasm followed the announcement at
the Emeryville track Of the notable
victories Of Nealon and Firestone in
the Suburban and the double event at
Sheepshead bay. Barney Schneider was
the happiest person Imaginable when
the telegraph brought the tidings of
Nealon's triumph. He bred the horse
and owns him jointly with c. Z. Dur
nell The general opinion is that
Nealon was not himself when he per-
formed so disaSpointingiy in the Burns
and other stakes at Emeryville last
winter.
President Williams. the owner of the
crack colt Firestone. was not at the
track yesterday, having gone to his
the night before Naturally, he viii be
delighted with the splendid showing
which Firestone has made against the
pick OF the eastern Juveniles, and the
colts clever performance probably will
have the effect of inciting him TO fur
ther investments in high class horses
II has been felt by local turfmen all
along that Firestone would hold his
own against the eastern cracks.
The Suburban is worth $1,000 to the
winner and the Double $4,000. DurneIl
paid Schreiber $500 for half interest
in Nealon and Williams purchased Fire
stone from s c. Hildreth for $4,000
The latter colt has already won $4,000
in purses.
Darumas failure to run her race in
the Glenmar handicap on Wednesday
probably was due to the effect of a
kick which Rubric administered to her
at the post Cne OF her legs was so
