"Adam and Ewes. :"

The papers referred recently to the
erection of a shaft" as a memorial to
Adam, dwelling on the "fact" that it
was the first monument to the first
man. That may be so, but in Dublin,
Ireland, there have been two edif1ces
raised not to Adam alone but Adam
and Eve.
In the end of the seventeenth cen
fury a saloon was opened in Cook
street, ''The Sign of Adam and Eve"
So popular was the sign that when
the franciscan Friars opened a
church near by their prior, Father
Francis Walsh, adopted the name
to draw the citizens to another kind
of spiritual consolation. 1t was an
Inflated building, though, for in TIA
it fell, bringing death to vast crowd
which had assembled to hear a
famous preacher. Sylvester Lloyd,
bishop of Waterford
The church was rebuilt through the
efforts of Bishop Lloyd, and from
time to time additions have been
made, till now it stands one of the
finest Franciscan converts in ireland.
Some busybodies not approving of the
quaint old title had 1t officially
changed few years ago into 1.-THE

the Irish are no lovers Of new things.

TO CLEAN FEATHERS.

If one desires to have feathers rem
oyated and does not wish to be robbed
by feather renovators, they may be
easily cleaned at home. There are
reliable firms who clean feathers, but
the men who drive through the coun-
try protesting to do such work are
apt to be frauds.
The great objection to doing this
work at home is handling a heavy
tick. Another objection is the trouble
of drying the feathers, but both of
these may be easily overcome.
Though many people consider feath-
er beds unhealthy and out of style,
they are used in many country homes
and are very comfortable for winter
nights. OF course the feathers should
be clean and in clean ticks, or they
are unhealthy.
When making feather bed first
put the feathers into thin muslin
slip just the size of the tick and slip
the tick over this. When the tick be-
comes soiled it can be washed with
out the trouble of dealing with loose
feathers. The feathers in the thin
tick can be washed without taking
out, by putting in tub of warm wat
err and washing on board as ordin-
airy clothes. Make the water soapy
before putting in the feathers Rinse
in clean water and hang on the line.
On a warm windy day they will be
dry in few hours and be as light and
fluffy as ever.
After the feathers are clean and
dry it is easy to put the clean heavy
ticks over them. Pillows may be
treated in the same fashion as they
really become soiled sooner than
feather beds. If your feather beds
are made in the old style it will pay
you to get the feathers into thin slips
the first time the ticks are washed. -
Margaret Whitney. in the Indiana
Farmer.

WHITE BEDsTEADs.

The cheapest of white enamel bed
steads may be made attractive with
dainty and at the same time fnexpen-

enough to select bedstead with sim
pie, graceful lines and one in which
the expense lies in the quality of the
enamel used, instead of in brass or
naments, the reward will be great.
The plain, graceful white enamel
bedsteads minus brass knobs and

heavy enough to be firm and practi-

quantity she desires. Besides doing
