HOMEMADE BLEACHES
II Carefully Used They Are Harm
Iess-MRtches Remove Stains.


Javelle water IS one OF the best prepa-
ratlons for removing stains from table or
other white linen. and II carefully used

strong one. and II permitted to stand for
an instant after the discoloratlon has
disappeared the material Will be weak
ened and IN a short time will break
The water IS made by dissolving half
a pound Of sal soda in a point OF boiling
water. and In quart Of boiling water
put a quarter OF a pound OF chloride OF
lime. When the two mixtures are dis
solved they are mingled. A thorough
stirring is given and the liquid left TO
COOL when the cleared portion Is poured
of and tightly corked. Il must be kept
in a dark place. To use, a little is put
into a basin. The discoloratlon IS wet
with clear water and then put into the
bleach. The stain should disappear in a
moment. and the material IS Immediately
plunged into cold water and then into a
fresh supply, 70 stop any action OF the
acid only that which Is stained may be
wet with Javelle.
Oxallc acid, used IN the same manner
will also remove stains unless they are
very deep-seated. To mix, some crystals
are put into a bottle. Two ounces Is a
good amount. A gin of water Is added
and the bottle IS shaken frequently until
many OF the crystals are dissolved
Twelve hours may be allowed for it,
Half a gill Of the solution. strained. IS
put into a gallon OF water. If the acid

Very small spots on white linen are
sometimes removed simply by wetting the
heads Of sulphur matches. one after the
other. and rubbing them over the dlscol-

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

Women have been accused OF talking
too much. OF telling their own secrets
as well as those Of others-wel, It Is
true. in a measure. for feminine nature
has natural tendency 20 be confidential.
Women long to pour the story Of their
joys and sorrows into sympathetic ears
and are needless OF the consequences
There is one subject, however, Of which
the world is very tired-ill health. Good
health is pretty rare in these days, and
humanity Is getting weary OF hearing
about aches and pains and the remedies
used for both. But women continue 70
complain-it relieves their minds.
We do not realize to what extent we
have been boring our friends and weary
ing our relatives. The occasional woman
bears her suffering in silence, and re-
ceives the gratitude Of those about her.
I met a matron OF five years standing
who was a chronic sufferer from head
ache and IN all that time her husband
never knew that she was not in the best
Of health. She spent days IN bed with
the shades drawn. but dusk found her
dressed Prettily and ready 20 welcome
her husband with a smile.
Had he been an observing man he
might have noticed that fetching tea
gowns were worn more often than any
other garb, but as he happened 20 Ike
that particular attire he was satisfied 20
believe that II was donned for his
pleasure. The womans argument was
this-a man works hard all day. and has
the right 10 expect a pleasant home
coming, and that he would not get were
he 10 find a sick wife and an atmosphere
reeking with medicine. So she made
careful toilet. concealing all traces Of
suffering in the manner known 20 clever
women, aired and perfumed the house
and greeted her husband as II she had
not spent the day in bed.
No reasonable husband would expect
such self-sacrihce, but most men would
appreciate the dellcacy which prompted
the act. Men have been known to turn
from sick women 20 healthy ones, and
they were men worth keeping in the
eyes Of their wives. so this wifes at
titUde is understandable, because she
loved her husband and detested scenes
OF any description. I think. also. she
was tho kind Of woman who keeps her
own counsel, on principle. There are a
few who never talk Of themselves. who
never betray sign Of weakness.
Wherever you 60 you will find men and
women discussing sickness. generally
some form from which they are suffer
ing. 1t would be better TO talk Of health,
Of anything cheerful. for everybody needs
encouragement 10 see only the bright side
OF life. Whether or not we believe much
I'm the influence Of mind over matter,
we must admit that disagreeables are
more bitter when we allow ourselves 10
think OF them. This is a mans idea OF
complaining about the weather-it IS
practically setting oneself on a pedestal
and inviting a shower Of stones. II might
be said OF the manner in which we cod
die unpleasantness IN general

A Pretty Pincushion.

pretty pincushion can be made
with a disk Of velvet. The edge should
be decorated all around with pattern
pins. These pins are really needles. but
the heads are dipped into sealing wax
and twisted around until a little "coral'
head IS formed. They are useful in
holding paper patterns to material; in
fact, they are handy where a heavy pin
is not desired. When a large number
OF them are used, the heads form a neat
little frame around the cushion.

4 TERRIBLE ITCHING

CUTICURA CURED IN 2 WEEKS

"My daughter, twelve years Of age.
was afflicted with terrible itching Of
the hands which was SO bad at night that
she was unable to sleep. She scratched
herself until she bled. The trouble be-
gan in the shape Of small pustules which
produced severe itching and then hard
scab formed on top. From the fingers it
extended over the hand and as far as
the elbows. The doctor said it was &C.
zema. and that recovery would neces-
sarily be slow. He treated my daughter
for seven months but the trouble always
grew worse. But after had used the

A noticeable feature in railroad
traffic at present is the number Of priv
ate cars which pass through the city
attached to the express trains of the
Maine Central and bound to the east
ern part of the State. several of them
coming along each week. and the rail-
road men state that this mode of travel
is becoming more popular each year.
At one time travel by private car was
confined to railroad officials, but as il
has its advantages it became popular
and many wealthy people prefer it. In
fact large number of these people
have their own cars which are placed
at their disposal whenever they decid.
to travel from one place to another.
and a number of these cars pass
through Augusta on their way to Bar
Harbor every summer Some of these
cars are sent back to Portland after
their trip east, where they are stored
until their owners return from Bar
Harbor at the close of the season.
