To Give Clothes a Good ceIor.

Very frequently after one has been
away for the summer and the clothes
have been submitted to incompetent
laundresses, they acquire bad color.
In this case the following method has
been recommended to restore their
whiteness without any danger of rot,
tins the clothes by strong bleaches:
Soak clothes over night. In the
morning shave two cakes Of good
laundry soap into half boilerful Of
water, adding two tablespoonful Of
kerosene. Boil 20 to 80 minutes.
In taking the clothes from the boil
er drain all the suds back possible.
Rub on board. If the wa hing is more
than one boilerful put back enough
of the suds-after rubbing the clothes
Ito keep the boiler hair full of suds
Rinse through two clean waters be
fore blueing. and you will never have
yellow clothes.
If particular to measure kerosene
and rinse thoroughly there will be no
"dor Of kerosene.

Mystery of the Watermelon.

Here is mystery, according to
Mr.. Bryan. He says: Il am not much
of a farmer as some people claim,
but | have observed the watermelon
seed. 1t has the power of drawing
from the ground and through itself
100000 times its weight; and when
you can tell how it takes this ma
terial and out of its color forms out
side surface beyond the imitation OF
art, and then forms in it white
rind and within that again a side Of
red heart, thickly inlaid with black
seed, each one of which in turn is
capable of drawing through itself
200 900 times its weight-when you
can explain to me the mystery of
watermelon, you can ask me to ex-

Design for Costumes Of Silk and Cloth.


Design for Costumes of Silk and Cloth.
A costume of changeable silk and
white linen that will be copied a
month hence in Ottoman silk and
cloth or velvet and cloth was quite
charming and novel. Over an under
dress of finely-tucked white linen (the
tucks lengthwise) was worn a prin-
cess silk overdress, perfectly molding
the figure. The armholes were cut to
shape little over the top Of the tight
tucked sleeves of the underdress; in
front the bodice was cut into a high
square and buttoned double breasted
for four or five inches; below it was
cut out to show wide girdle of black
silk buckled with a linen-covered
buckle Below this opening the clos
ing line continued on the skirt, half
way to the knees, then it sloped
away sharply to the back to show
much of the underdress.

Sour swill is not fit for hog feeC

Sour swill is not fit for hog feed.
Too much corn will produce thumps
in pigs.
If pigs are given all the salt and
charcoal they want, there will seldom
be any occasion for ringing.
Like the sire in the dairy herd, the
boar is more than half the battle in
hog raising.
In buying boar look rather to his
progeny than to his pedigree.
A god brood SOW must have large
capacity for feed, because it requires
a great deal of fuel to keep her milk
producing machinery going.
1t is possible for the breeding SOW
to be too fat, but more farmers make
the mistake of keeping them too poor.
Select the pigs for breeding from
the sow with the largest litter.

laboratory the scientist was utterly con-
fused by the appearance of spectral
hands. Some time after this sittings
were conducted at Turin by Drs: Herlit-
zka, Foa and AggaZzotti. in the course
of which hands hit and teeth bit those
whom the,medium did not like.
The next to experiment was BottaZZl,
who. among other things, put in a cabi-
net a small table weighing fifteen pounds.
and on top of it arranged hair brush. a
hens feather. a bottle of water and a
very thick glass. These articles and the
table were the only objects that could be
moved. Well. while the medium was well
guarded beyond curtain that table came
out of the cabinet of it's own accord III a
light that made lit perfectly visible. and
the man who held the psychic's feet OBJ
served at the exact moment when Pala-
moved and that following advances of
the table corresponded spontaneously
with the psychic's knees
This latter phenomenon Mr.. Garland re-
CARDS as much more significant than mes
sages from the dead in solving the mys-
terry of the shadow world. The infer
ence is that Eusapia Paladino performed
all these movements with her astral
hands," When her lips moved as If to
kiss, sound of kissing was heard by
all. When a mandolin played the me-
dium's fingers twitched. When her fingers
turned an electric light was switched on

In order to insure against trickery the
psychic was fastened to the floor by iron
rings with leaden seals. While thus
bound spectral hands and fists were
plainly visible flying about the room, jugs
of water floated, and in climax Prof
Galeotti exclaimed: Il see two left arms
identical in appearance. One is on the
table and the other seems to come out of
the mediums shoulder to approach and
touch Nine. Bottazzi and then return and
melt into the mediums body again. This
is not a halucination. l am awake"

land. land may never be known. The
spiritualist might say that these scientific
experiments only go to prove the ma
terialization of spirits, that the dead are
all about us, and therefore that it is not
incredible to believe they can send us
messages. 1t may be that in a year or in
ten thousand years a new law of nature
will be discovered to explain the phe-
