AGE: AND SONG.

I'm vain men tell us time can alter
Y That with the old year the old years
Il life closes.
The old dew still falls on the old
sweet flowers.
The old revives the new fledged
hours.
The old summer rears the newborn
roses.
Much more a muse that bears upon her
Raiment and wreath and flower of honor,
Gathered long since and long since
woven.
Fades not or falls as falls the vernal
Blossoms that bear no fruit eternal,
By summer or winter charred or cloven.
No time casts down, no time upraises
Such loves. such memories and such
praises.
AS need no grace Of sun or shower,
No saving screen from frost or thunder,
To tend and house around and under
The imperishable and peerless flower.
Old thanks, old thoughts. old aspirations.
Outlive mems lives and lives Of nations.
Dead. but for one thing which survives
The inalienabe and unpriced treasure,
The old JOY of power, the old pride of
pleasure.
That lives in light above mems lives.
-Algernon Charles Swinburne.

How to Rid Furniture Of Moths.

VSVW " nl0 OF WOIOSs
A sort Of trade secret among uphol-
sterers, it Is said. is this recipe for rid
ding furniture of moths, says the Kan
sas City Star. A set of furniture that
seemed to be alive with larvae and
from which hundreds of these pests
had been picked and brushed was set
in room by itself. Three gallons of
benzine were purchased. Using small
watering pot with fine rose sprin-
kler, the whole upholstery was satu-
rated through and through with the
benzine. Result. every moth. larva
and egg was killed. The benzine dried
out in few hours. and its entire odor
disappeared in three or four days. Not
the slightest harm happened to the var
nish or wood or fabrics or hair stuff
ing The carpets were also we'll sprin-
killed. all around the sides Of the room
with equally good effect. For furs.
flannels-indeed, all wooden articles
containing moths-benzine is most val
liable. Put them in a box, sprinkle
with benzine. close the box tightly. and
in a day or two the pests will be eXter
minated. and the benzine will all evap-
crate on opening. In using benZine
great care should be taken that no fire
is near by, as the stuff in fluid or vapor
form is very inflammable.

SAVED HIS OWN SON.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

AT the risk of his life father named
William Burns saved Il child from
drowning. At the time ne did not
know whose child it was.
Half dozen children were playing
by the side of the Norris canal as Mr.
Burns drove by. Suddenly there were
screams, and little hands pointed to the
water. Jumping into the canal. Burns
encountered swift current caused by
nearby sluiceway. After great exer-
ton he reached the drowning child
and brought it ashore.
MY God. it's my boy!" exclaimed
the man.
OF course the prompt heroism Of Mr..
Burns and the rescue of his own flesh
and blood made a coincidence.
Certainly. But
There is a moral in the coincidence.
This is the moral: The father who
tries to save the children of his day
and generation may at the same time
be saving his own child.
When you insist as a school patron
upon proper ventilation and lighting
and reasonable hours at the public
school you may be saving your own
child from contagion or illness.
When you demand an atmosphere of
moral purity in and about the school
house you may be saving your boy and
girl from the stain of impurity.
When you declare that the saloon
keeper shall keep the law against sell
ing intoxicants to minors and take per-
sonal pains to see that he does observe
that law. you may be saving your boy
from drunkard's grave.
When you prevent the gambling he'll
from operating in your town. you may
be saving your son from temptation
and crime.
And so on.
The trouble with most Of us is that
we do not have keen appreciation of
the close connection between the veal
or woe Of our community and the veal
or woe Of our children. Sometimes we
learn our lesson when it is too late.
We hesitate to plunge in and save. not
knowing and caring not whose child is
drowning. And. behold. it is our own
flesh and blood!
No man liveth to himself. The pri-
vate interest or family concern is some
where tied up in the tangle with the
public concern.
We cannot take care of our own un-
less we take care Of others own.
We cannot save our children without
aiding to save all children.

How to Improve a Narrow Hall.

To improve the appearance of a very
narrow hall place large mirrors on
both sides. This gives very good eff
feet. \ large mirror, one the length
of the wall, if placed opposite the land
ing of q half curved staircase will add
wonderfully to the appearance of the
narrow hall and make wide one more
handsome. Avoid striped paper in the
narrow hall. Use a plain paper and
also plain carpets without figures or a
geometrical design in very small bro
ken lines. Terra Gotta is Il good hall
color; also Il good grade of olive green
can be used. A cream paper, toned to
oak, is handsome in new house,
though a color scheme is usually need
ed. \ light paper is preferable in a
narrow, unlighted hall. Green paper
fades very easily and red soon loses its
original color.

How to Renovate Old Furniture.

There are many ways of renovating
old furniture. but one of the best meth
DDS is the alternate use of Sandpaper
and varnish. First remove every par
ticle of dust, dirt and old cracked var
nish from the piece of furniture to be
treated, getting right down to the bare
wood. To aid in this work cabinet
scraper or glass will be necessary and
a bottle of wood alcohol to soften the
varnish After the varnish is removed
sandpaper the wood to smooth sur
face. ut least four coats of finishing
varnish will be required, and after
each has become thoroughly dry rub
lightly with fine sandpaper. After the
last coat of varnish has dried for two
days rub boiled linseed oil on the
treated surfaces with soft cloth.

How to Keep White Silk White.

There is nothing more distressing to
the owner of white silk or satin
gown than to see it following while
It is still wearable. The women who
do not cut their wedding dresses up
the next winter, but keep them with
reverent sentiment to the end of their
lives, are always on the lookout for
something to prevent them turning a
deep tawny yellow. The best pre-
ventive Of this is to pack the gown
away In muslin sheets that have been
rinsed through deep blue water until a
deep indigo. Ordinary blue muslin can
be substituted If preferred. Stuff all
the folds with blue instead Of white
tissue paper, and keep in a box with
q close fitting lid. that is also wrapped
with heavy paper to keep out the dust.

DELICIOUS SUMMER SALADS.
How to Make Attractive Dishss With
Vegetables and Fruits.

How to prepare pretty summer
salad is thus told by Caroline French
Benton in the June Delineator: Select
some green peppers and open them at
the top and take out the seeds. Make
each one stand on a lettuce leaf, cut
ting tiny bit off the bottoms If neces-
sary. Then prepare some small cooked
green string beans, the smaller the bet
ter, by mixing them with French dress
ing. Fill the peppers with these and
on top of each one put a little ball of
cream cheese. The combination is
quite unusual in flavor and very good.
Fruit salads are the daintiest and most
refreshing Of all we have in summer,
and they are almost no trouble to
make. Several kinds of fruit should
not be put together as a usual thing.
however, for that is apt to make a
messy dish. One or two kinds mixed,
or one alone, Is quite enough Then,
too, it should be remem bered that
mayonnaise rarely combines with
fruits. There Is one exception at least
for pineapple is particularly good with
1t, but Wth most other fruits French
dressing should be used, and this
should have little vinegar in it. Lemon
Juice is much better.
Strawberry salad is made by arrang-
Ing for each person six or more very
large, fine berries in u cup shaped let
tuce leaf. These are laid on platter.
and French dressing is put on last.
Like all salads, to be good this must be
cold.
Cherry salad is made with either
California cherries or the large OK
hearts, and both red and white ones
are used. or the two are prettily mixed.
The cherries are stoned without break
ing them, and in place of each pit bit
of nut is pressed in. or small hazel
nut is put in entire. They are laid on
lettuce. and French dressing is poured
over. This is rather an elaborate dish
when finished, but simple enough to
make If one has time and is willing to
take the trouble to put it together.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Chehalis Is confident of securing a
$4,000 Carnegie library. The city
council has met all conditions i'm
posed, having set aside park site
property and passed a resolution
guaranteeing the $1,000 year for
maintenance.
A fire last week at North Yakima
swept the restricted district, inhict-
ing loss of $4,000. George Weeks

The first annual convention of the
Presidential Postmasters' Association
of Washington will be held at Spo-
kane August and 6. 1t is probable
that First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral G. P. Grandfeld will be sent to
Washington and Oregon to attend the
convention.
J. w. Dickie & Son, incorporated,
the big shipbuilding firm of Ray
mond, have gone into the hands of a

err, pulled the trigger playfully. The
weapon was discharged and the ball
lodged in Mrs. Campbell's leg. Mrs.
Campbell three weeks ago became the

worked a severe shock on her nerves.

WASHING OF EYES.
How to Battle Them Properly With
Lotions,

If more persons knew that the eye
balls need bathing quite as much as
the body. no dressing stand would be
without an eye cup and lotion for this
purpose. In washing the eyes use a
special glass that may be bought at
any druggists. This cup is shaped
something like winegass, except that
1t is elongated instead of round and
has rim that slopes down in the mid
die to fit the eyes.
To use this little vessel fill it three
quarters full of whatever lotion or
liquid IS prescribed, then place it close
ly about the eye and throw back the
head. In this position open and shut
the eye, SO that the ball is thoroughly
bathed.
AS to the lotion for the bath. an ex-
cellent and simple wash that will
cleanse the ball and relieve a feverish
or tired sensation is made by boiling
and filtering half pint Of water and
pouring into it while still warm one
half teaspoonful of refined borax and
ten drops of spirits Of camphor, says
the Washington Star. Let this cool,
then filter again through a piece Of
thin muslin.
The cup may be partly filled with
this liquid morning and night and any
time during the day when the eyes feel
tired. 1t should be applied as pre-
viously directed and after using for a
time will usually clear away the yell
low scum so frequently seen on eye
balls and always so disfguring. Be-
fore applying any lotion the eyes must
always be carefully bathed in warm
water.
| For eyes that are weak tonic wash
| recommended by English oculists is
made in this way: One-half Of an ounce
Of rock salt and one oun0e Of dry sui
phate Of zinc slmmered in perfectly
clean, covered porcelain vessel with
three pints Of water until the ingredi-
ents are all dissolved. Strain through
thick. clean muslin, add one ounce of
rosewater and cork tightly. Use when
the eyes feel weak. II the lotion
smarts, add little water. The eye cup
J should be kept perfectly clean.
| If after simple home treatment the
eyeballs continue to show a yellowish
appearance no time should be lost in
consulting a physician, for something
wrong with the system Is indicated.
Any Inflammation Of the eyes Is likely
to exhibit itself by secretion on the
lids in the morning. and this condition
should be checked before It leads into
another more serious state.
After bathing with either Of the 10
J tons given the edges Of the lids should
be covered at night with paste made
of two and one-half centigrams each of
oxide Of zinc and subacetate Of lead,
twenty-five centigrams Of oil Of sweet
almonds, three grams of white vase
line and, three drops Of tincture Of
benzoin.
1t is we'll to have this compounded
by chemist, for should there be the
least lump or grain it is apt to find its
way into the eye and cause irritation
In making any lotion at home too
/ much care cannot be given to filtering
and should the liquid become cloudy
after a time it must be strained again
| to prevent causing irritation
