Anty Drudge Enjoys Nature.

FRS Hardwork-M My, but it is awful to stay indoors and
bend steamy washtub this beautiful weather."
Anty Dradge-You foolish to do it Mrs Hardwork.
FelsNaptha is doing my washing while am going
to sit under the trees If you would try washing the
Fels-Naptha way you would have plenty of time to
enjoy Nature on wash-days as we'll as other days.
/. Summer washing means days discom-
fort every week-unless you use
Fels- Naptha soap.
A hot fire on summers day is heart
breaking; every woman knows it. If you
wash with Fels-Naptha you don't need
hot fire. Boiling is unnecessary.
Fels-Naptha will clean the clothes bet
ter and quicker in cold or lukewarm water
than any other means. That is why
Fels-Naptha is not only soap, but
different way of washing.
No boiling. No hard-rubbing on wash
board to heat you up. No time wasted.
Makes your white clothes whittier and
sweeter than you can get them in any other
way: Wet the things, soap freely with
Feis-Naptha, let them soak for thirty
minutes; then rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
Sounds easy, doesn't it? And it is easy.
If you have tried it, you know. If you
haven't, try it next washday. But be sure
and use Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha
way. ~Follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

To Care For Pianos.

In many households there is not a
piece of furniture that is more sorely
neglected than the piano, and any
one who has studied the construction
of the piano knows that its mechan-
ism Is more delicate, intricate and
sensitive than any other musical in
strument. 1t is nc wonder that it re-
quires a great deal of care when this
is take into consideration, and suf-
fers severely from neglect. Some
people are of the. opinion that they
are treating their l.. no we'll when
they have it tuned onc>'or twice each
year, but it should he tuned no less
than four times annually to prevent
loss of pitch, and should be kept at a
concert pitch all the time. To raise
or lower it half G tone means to spoil
it Immediately.
It is almost as important to place
the piano we'll as to have it tuned. 1t
should not be put too near the wall.
as this absorbs the tone, and 1t should
be placed near the inner wall rather
than the outer, to prevent dampness
or cold from affecting it. Dampness
is a stanch enemy of pianos; it rusts
the wires, rots the felt, splits the
hammers and makes the keys stick.
A changing temperature is almost as
dangerous, and too great heat, such
as caused by the proximity of a radia-
tor or a fireplace, has also its bad eff
fects. Heavy carpets Eume the
sound, and this is n of the reasons
why music rooms should always have
hardwood floors, and why pianos
should always be placed on little
glass insulators when Iossible.
A piano should be kept free from
bric-a-brac, pictures and lamps, be-
cause they all tend to make the tone
metallic. So often when a note is
tinny or tremulous it is because it is
in sympathetic vibration with some
object on or near the instrument.
When the pedals squeak they should
be creased, and not oiled, or a little
talcum powder may be pulled into the
hinges. Broken hammers, if not bad
ly damaged, can be repaired with hot
glue and bound with cord. Broken
worries can be mended with a little
household cement. Yellow worries
can be cleaned with alc2hol.-Wash-
lngton Stav.

Sheep Husbandry.

The writer has recently received a
letter bearing upon wool conditions
in this country from a gentleman in
an Eastern State, who is one Of the
highest authorities upon wool grow
ing and distribution, and whose adr
vice is frequently sought by Con-
gressional committees when matters
are pending concerning wool in sheep
districts of this country. He takes
occasion in this letter to say that he
is at a loss to understand why, with
the development Of the South along
Industrial lines generally. and the
evident enterprise that is being dis
played, that the growing of wool is
not promoted to g. greater extent. He
also states that, in his opinion, the
large bulk of the best woods in this
country can and should be grown
south Of Washington. /.
This man has stated general condi-
tions so correctly that 1 am Influenced
by his opinion, and fully agree with
him. The writer does not undertake
to understand how the sheep industry
may interfere with other conditions

Whv France is Rich.

Paris is the mecca of foreigners.
They come from all parts. of the world
to enjoy life in the great metropolis;
and the yearly income from this
source alone approXimates S60O,0OO,-
600. Along with this item the earn
ings of French capitalists on their in
vestments in the securities and prop
critics of other countries amount to
fully S250,OO0,0 600 yearly. On the
other side of the account is an adj
verse balance of trade, which in 1907
amounted to s12O, 600, 900. Deduct
this outgo from her income of $780,
O00, 900, and it, leaves France with
$4,000 900 to the good. Instead
of getting an income of $500, 900, 900
from foreign tourists, the United
States pays out at least S150,000,O00
for the expenses of American tourists
abroad. Again, instead of drawing
s25O,OO0,O 900 yearly from foreign in
vestments, this country pays out
$500, 000,O 900 to foreign investors in
our securities and properties. A
third factor is the army Of aliens who
flock here from all parts Of the world
to hoard up money which they take
back to their own countries; this
drain costs us s3O0,000,000 more.
Add 500, 900, 900 more which We pay

and the yearly outgo is sS50,000,0o0

Decorations For the Table.

For the small sum of twenty-five
cents a luncheon OF dinner table may
be made exceedingly attractive if a
jar or vase Of flowers is placed in the
centre. Failing those, when the in
come must be considered, fruit is a
coed substitute, and q dish Of oranges
is by no means to be despised, even
as a %centrepiece for dinner.
The fruit should be put into a
glass, silver or fancy bowl. AS green
adds enormously to their decorative
effect, an effort should be made to
get it, and if the cost of buying at a
florists makes it prohibitive, one
should try fruit dealers, for almost
all fruits that are boxed from whole
salers have green leaves as trimming.
Mountain laurel is frequently used by
them, and for ten cents one should
secure two or three sprays.
The leaves may be stripped off and
placed among the interstices of the
whole oranges. They will keep for
several days.
Asparagus vine is never expensive,
and Q fancy bowl Of this in the centre
Of the table is ornamental. The addi-
ton of a rather large bow of bright
red satin ribbon, tucked among the
sprays, will greatly increase the
warmth of effect.
Any person who has friends living

Gas Waste in Cooking.

The majority of women waste gas
in cooking. The wasteful ones keep
the burner on at full height all the
time food is cooking, and oven burner
turned on full until the food is taken
out.
When the boiling has started the
gas may be lowered so that it merely
maintains the boiling, and often the
simmer burner is sufficient. In many
instances the oven burner may be
turned off before the food is done,
and the heat retained in the EEL will
be sufficient for the proper cooking OF
the food.-Indianapolis News.
