Washing Ginahams.

1t is not what to DO. but what not
to do. to save your ginghams. Avoid
strong soap, hot water. too much rub
bing, hot starch. and do not dry ging'
hams in the hot sunshine or. If you
must. take them indoors as soon az
dry. Whatever you do, do not use
hard water and alkali to wash them.
The colors are set with turpentine in
water. Sometimes salt and alum are
used. Some ginghams fade in spite
of all precautions. Avoid using thick
starch on red gingham. Red often
turns a red-black when ironed. but 1t
resumes more natural color when
exposed to the air. Pinks fade an
ugly yellow. blues fade a clear white
and greens likewise. Yellow washes
nicely. browns look clear and mixed
white and blue looks fresh and bright
even when slightly faded. Most Law

THOUGHTS OF THINKERS.

Jacob Huff.-The benefits of
travel are almost incalculable. Peo-
Pile who stay at home too closely,
cannot but drift into homely manners
and homely ways. 1t should be made
possible for everybody to make shor
journeys every year. If he cannot
go far, he should at least visit a
neighboring town or city or village.
1t is so easily discernable in a per-
sons manners whether he ever trav-
eled amongst strangers or no.
William ]. Bryan.-The celebra-
tion of Memorial day will not cease
when the veterans have answered
the last roll call. l am glad that
love of country can be portrayed in
time of peace. 1t does not need a
battle field as a canvass and l con-
fidently hope that the time will com
when our differences will be settled
by reason rather than by arbritra-
ment of the sword. But when this
glad day shall have arrived there
will yet be ample opportunity for
each citizen to give his own devo-
ton to his government and his fell
low men.
Hon. Charles E. Hughes.-What
we want in connection with agricul-
ture is not expert method: we want
direction, we want the way shown
and then the man can walk in it,
There is no reason why the same
care, attention and skill and con-
sideration should not be devoted to
agriculture as to industry and the
technical trades. The lien who are
running away from the farms, too
frequently make mistake and the
day is rapidly approaching when our
young men in larger numbers will
wake up to the fact that they have
pretty good chance on the farm,
and that they may be to a greater
degree independent and happy in
life if they stay where their happy
lots are cast in connection with
their fathers farm or another which
they may be able to procure.
