IRIS. ARCHIE HAMILToNs VIEW.

MRS. ARCHIE HAMILTON'S VIEW.
Several of the New York newspa-
per5 have recently published articles
advocating the whipping post for
wife heaters and like offenders" re-
marked Mrs. Archie N. Hamilton, of
Philadelphia. THE idea is abhorrent
to enlightened sentiment of to-day,
and ! do not believe for an instant
that the proposal could obtain popu-
lar Endorsement If 1t were practicable
to get an expression at the polls The
whipping post is the last relic OF more
barbarous days and the disappearing
emblem of thoss who centuries ago
Endorsed the Inquisition and all its
horrible devices of torture.
1T is doubtless true that the CON
troll and reclamation of wife beaters
IS q problem which has not been fully
worked out. However. there should
be no more talk of the whipping post.
Surely some other effective punish
ment can be devised which will stop
the disgraceful and inhuman practice
OF wife beating and make it unneces-
sary for us 10 resort to the use Of a
relic OF barbarism."

For Cleaning Wall Paper.

To clean wallpaper use the fol-
lowing receipt: Ten cents worth
of liquid amonia, ten cents worth
of oil of sassafras, one teaspoonful
(even full) of soda, two teaspoons
full (even ful) of salt and one quart
of cold water. Mix the cold water
with the ingredients, then add
white flour until it is thick enough
to drop from a spoon. Put in a
covered pail, set in kettle of boil
ing water, and cook until done,
stirring often. If it does not stick
to the hands when cool, it is done.
Remove from the pail and divide
into ''loaves" working each piece
a while in the hand. Take out
only what is needed, leaving the
rest covered in the pail to prevent
the amonia from evaporating. Rub
the wall with a loaf, working the
dirt into the dough. When very
dirty, exchange for clean loaf

The I. o. o. F. lodges in this
district are preparing to attend the
dedication of the orphanage on
June II. Most of them have made
preparations to attend.
: There are about 100 children in
the orphanage now and the great
work that is being done has aroused
the interest of all the Odd Fellows
in this section Of the State.
The heavy rains throughout
April have been detrimental to all
kinds of work at the home. Plans
had been made to complete the
grading and planting of the home
grounds, but the continuous rains
have delayed it so that neither
work is finished.
1t is expected that Patriarch
Militants will hold their anniversa-
ry at the home at the dedication
and the encampments and cantons
have also been invited to attend.
There will be elaborate ceremo-
MES by prominent Odd Fellows of
the district. The new building is
handsome brick structure that is
of very great value to the little
ones whose training and education
depend largely upon the facilities
for the work to be done.
