Blotting
Paper Blots

The surface of a. piece of blot
ting paper has any number of
small, hIair-like fibers that are, in
reality, small tubes. When this
surface is applied to ink the small
tubes suck it up by capillary at
traction. If a fine glass tube is
partly immersed in water, the
water will rise in the tube. The
same thing happens on a smaller
scale with blotting paper.
Blotting paper was first made
by accident when a careless work.

is fine grade of animal glue that
enters into the composition of the
best writing paper. The result OF
the omission was blotting paper.

tier of some sulphur"
Other members expressed them
selves in like manner, but after a
brief discussion it was decided to
> continue. The members therefore
advanced toward the bedroom of
Mr.. De Forest, spectral handker-
chiefs held to their ghostly noses.
They had not proceeded far, how
ever, when severally and collec-
lively they bumped into ghostly
walls and received painful ghostly
bumps. Had the walls been of
earth, earthly, no injuries would
have occurred, but being of the
same substance as the ghosts
themselves, their hurts ensued.
by Jove!" further calculated
the president; this is the worst
job of haunting l was ever up
against. I'm almost in favor of
turning round and going back"
Ghost Reed, though, urged the
member sof the society forward 4,
and at last he led them into the
De Forest bedroom. The spooks
draped themselves appropriately
around the bed, and the presi-
dent of the society began his
regular incarnation. Much to the
establishment of Ghost Reed, of
the president and lal the other
members of the society, the haunt
| ing was not productive of the ex-
pected screams of fear from De
Forest.
An astonished inspection was
made of the bed, and it was
found to be empty! Just at this
point sepulchral laugh re-
sounded through the room. De-
spite themselves all the ghosts
jumped. Instead of terrorizing a
victim, they themselves were be-
coming frightened. Then their
hair fairly went on end when a
particularly horrifying denizen of
ghostdom crawled from beneath
the bed, glided through the open
door and closed and locked !. it.
Through the transom the ghosts
heard a ghostly voice.
You ghosts" exclaimed this
voice, fought to keep abreast of
the times. l am the ghost of
Charles De Forrest. / passed away
about twelve hours after John
Reed, when my home went up
in flames. You are now in the
ghost of a house, and 1 have
turned the ghost of key on you
so you can't get out. stick
around a while and think mp a
few more little haunting jaunts. -
In the silence which preceded
the cries of ghostly horror and
rage, the members of the Society
of Implacable Haunters heatd the
jeering laughter of the ghhzt sof
Charles De Forest grow fainter
and fainter as his spook flew
Iaway.

ASdAbOA A1hCos
The Washington Society for
the Friendless has opened a home
at Port Orcnard for the temper
airy help of prisoners who may
stand in need of it.
Not counting the hundreds NOV
ing in and out of the county jails
of this state every day, about A
a month are released provisions
ally" or Finally" from our penal
institutions, the reformatory al
Monroe and the penitentiary al
Walla Walla.
Before these men and boys got
into trouble they were much like
the rest of us. Then, for some
offense, they were in the public
eye for a moment, then sent away
for punishment and forgotten.
Aside from the officers of the
state appointed to care for pris-
oners, only a few intimate friends
pay any attention or care what be-
comes of those who are confined
behind the walls. Only a few OF
all of them remain for long time
inside. After an average of per-
haps twenty months most OF
them are released on parole.
This means that competent
state board has inquired into this
record of these men and find thai
they should be given the freedom
TO earn an honest living, with {
"firsf friend" to exercise proper
care and see that they make
good.
Parole means two things: II
q the promise or word" of tbs

prisoner that he will be a de-
sirable citizen, work for a living
at some specified honest indus
try, will not leave his employment
and will not visit disreputable
places. He must send a report
every month to the superintend-
ent of the state institution from
which he is conditionally re-
leased. The second meaning of
the word is the freedom itself
which the man enjoys under the
conditions named above.
If a prisoner has friends in the
state who are ready to furnish
him work and wages for a year
and have oversight of his con-
duct as first friend" there is no
problem connected with his re-
lease except the problem in his
own mind.
If he has no one to help him,
the Industrial Home, now being
established by the Washington
Society for the Friendless is open
to him, where every effort will be
made to place him in normal in
dustry and help him to stick to 1t.
This home is not conducted so
as to make men more helpless, but
to encourage manly independence.
The home Is farm of rs acres
adapted to varied products-cel-
cry. orchard, small fruits and
poultry.
The house Is new, comfortably
furnished and in charge of a COM
petent man and wife. A dozen
men can be given a temporary
home and work while they are
getting ready for position, or the

position is being found.
The first inmate of the home
was a former undesirable citizen
of Tacoma, who was supposed to
be a hopeless natural-born crimi-
nal who used to be arrested on
sight In Tacoma, Seattle or Spo-
kane. A few days ago he came
to this city an ex-prisoner re-
formed, industrious and contribut-
ing to the welfare of society.

ALI AROUND
THE HOr1E'
By Cynthia Grey

The grape fruit for breakfast
should be cut in half the night be-
fore, the seeds all carefully re-
moved, and sugar sprinkled over
the fruit, which should then be
placed in the refrigerator over
night. The result is delicious
fruit for breakfast, sans all Bit
terness.
To clean a straw hat, cut a
lemon in half and rub the cut sur
face over the soiled straw,
squeezing the juice out while rub
ing. The straw will soon be as
bright as when new; then rub dry
cornmeal over the straw with a
sponge OF rag to remove any par
ticles of lemon. Or strain lemon
juice through a fine fabric and
dip an old toothbrush into the
juice and scour the straw. Or
dissolve tartaric acid in water to
make what is practically lemon
juice.
To get rid of the red water
which is frequently found at the
bottom of the kitchen boiler, emp
ty 1t entirely and wipe dry. Then
cement-wash it,, just as you
would whitewash anything. and
let 1t dry before you put water In
to 1t. BY so doing you will have
no more dirty red water.
