Laundry Wisdom.

II is sometimes very difficult to keep

they become rough it is a very good
idea to rub them over a paper which
has once contained n cake of kitchen
coap. This will be Of enormous assist
ance. The paper may be kept on the
ironing beard on a large pad made of
folded brown paper, which will serve
to test the heat, and at the same
time the iron will be kept clean. A
small piece of wax, too, is excellent
for producing gloss and paraffine
has the same effect.
When ironing between buttons or
when ironing anything on which is
sewn a great many buttons land what
it not covered with them in these
daysO, the article should be turned
right side down on a folded Turkish
towel The iron may be rubbed over
the wrong side and the buttons will
sink down into the soft pad thus made
for them, and the space between
them will be ironed perfectly smooth.

A Vanishing Tribe.

Once members of the great Creek
family, the Seminoles of Florida have
lost their tribe, their traditions and
their homes. Their own people have
forgotten them. The United States
has ignored them since the Seminole
war, when their roster was lost.
Payment of the government debt to
their tribe made plutocrats of their
brothers in the west, but never a
dime reached the members of the lit
tie band who refused to be driven
from their ancestral home But their
Spartan courage has departed and in
the cowed and cringing remnant there
is no spark Of the fire that flashed in

Counting the Presidents.

Was Grover Cleveland the twenty
second or the twenty-fourth president,
or both? On the determination of
this question depends the mineral to
be applied to Mr.. Taft. Is the new
executive to be the twenty-sixth or
twenty-seventh president? Several
Mckinley memorials, it is said, are
inscribed with the statement that the
dead Ohioan was the twenty-fifth
president. This would make Roose-
welt twenty-sixth and Taft twenty
seventh
Cleveland was the twenty-second
man to hold the office of president,
and the fact that he held it twice
with the administration of another
man between. his own two terms,
would not seem TO alter the fact. If
he were to be called botn twenty-sec-
ond and twenty-fourth the same sys-
tenn OF counting would demand that
every reelected president since the
beginning of the government would
have TO be counted twice. We count
by presidents, not by terms, and it
appears that Mr. Taft will be twenty
sixth president and that the Mckinley
monuments are improperly inscribed.

steel COOKING Utensils.

A process which makes possible
the substitution of steel for malleable
iron in many articles of light hard
ware has been invented by l.. s. Lach
man. and Is described in the Engi-
neeriag and Mining Journal. The
method is founded primarily upon the
idea that as two pieces of metal oil
unequal section do not unite readily
to form a good weld. two points, OF
point and a ridge, must be raised
on the pieces to be united. These
raised contacts are forced together
under hydraulic pressure, and form
ing the link of lowest conductivity in
an electric circuit, are heated by the
current to a temperature at or near
fusion; the two projections are thus
quickly united and form a bond OF
riyet which is even stronger than an
ordinary rivet, because 1t is in one
piece with the body of the metal.

SAVAGE in Civilization.

Civilization does not change pas
sion. The savage lives. Nothing
alter the elemental emotions. Love
changes to jealousy. jealousy to hate
and hate to murder as swiftly and
ruthlessly on some quiet little back
street of small homes or on some
wide and respectable thoroughfare as
In the jungle. No savage land has
more murders than parts of our cities
and States,
The customs, the restraints and the
outer veneer of civilization perpetu
ally receive. Men and women. par.
ticularly women look on life as a
mere merry dance, in which partners
can be leased by a change and chang
ed at whim. But man remains
even more than woman, under the
guise and DISCUSSES of civilization, the
elemental savage whose passions boil
to love or death at touch.-Philadel
