Washing Pink Garments

An old laundress took a great deal
of pride in all her work but especially
in the fact that she kept the color in
the clothes. She used 10 say, when a
man buys a blue shirt | think he
wants TO wear a blue shirt. 80 | never
fade it," This was her little scheme
for keeping pink in garments that
were of that extremely perishable
color. She poured boiling water over
piece of red cheesecloth. let it stand
for a few minites till the color was
all out of the cheesecloth then poured
the dye into a bucket of cold water,
and after washing and thoroughly
rinsing the garment, put it into the
dye-water, and allowed it to remain
for perhapes an hour. Then she wrung
it out and hung it to dry No matter
how cold and faded the material,
this method gives it a perfectly even
coloring.- Housekeeper.

japan Beats Tobacco Trust.

In Japan the Government owns
other things besides the railroads and
the telegraphs. 1t owns the tobacco
monopoly. 1t compelled the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company to sell its Jap
anese properties at a fair valuation
and 10 retire from Japan. You can
raise tobacco If you register your in
tention, but you can't sell 1t save to
the Government and at the Govern
ment's price; and the Government
forthwith manufactures and sells at
it's own price. No one but the Gov
eminent can import pound raw OF
manufactured, and a total of $4,000,
600 yen was the Governments profit
for last year.-Hampton's Magazine.

Dainty Chintz Covers.

Very pretty are the couch covers
and bedspreads made of English
chintz.
For a couch of ordinary size two
strips two yards long will be needed.
These pieces are ordinarily sewed
together, and the edges finished with
a wide hem.
A finish which gives character to
the cover is made with band of
plain goods of the predominating col.
or of the chintZ.
II looks best when made about four
inches wide and stitched on the same
distance from the edge. with the cor
ners mitered.
Other dainty covers for cottage
rooms are of plain material. with a
border of figured chintz, the chief
color of which is the same as that Of
the material
Still another variation is the white
cover or spread, with colored border
of plain color or of the figured chintz.

Statistics compiled by the commits
sioners of navigation disclose the rap
idity with which the sailing carriers
on the Atlantic coast are disappear
ing. The figures show that during the
year ending June so, there have been
lost of this once great fleet one ship,
one bark, two barkentines, one brigan-
tine and So schooners. There have
been sold to the Pacific coast two
ships, while four brigantines have
been cut down to become schooners.
To replace these losses, there have
been built during the same period but
eight schooners. No steamers, ships,
banks, barkentines, briggs or brigan-
tines were built or denationallzed for
the Atlantic coast trade during the
year.-Philadelph North American.

Pellagra has probably existed in
