UNCLE SANS STAMPS.
Wonderful Collection In the Postoffico
Department Museum,

The fact that nearly all men at some
time were stamp collectors is said to
account for the popularity of the OFF,
eial stamp collection of the United
States postotfice department maintain
ed in connection with the postal mu-
scum in Washington. Postoffice de-
partment officials say 100000 men call
every year to see the museum stamp
collection.
The postoffice department museum
is full of interesting objects. 1t con-
tains almost everything from a lock
of Charles Guiteau's hair to models of
the big battleships of the navy, but
cording to the officials in charge, is
the stamp collection. Few visitors
miss that sight. and many "hobbyists'
spend hours porting over it.
Uncle Sam as stamp collector is a
most signal success. He not only has
a complete collection from every other
stamp issuing country in the civilized
world as well. His collection is val
ued by the department at $200,000
but stamp dealers say it would de-
mand a figure many times that sum If
placed on the open market for sale.
The fact that Uncle Sans stamp
collection is absolutely complete is q
statement difficult to comprehend. even
to those who have been collectors
themselves. Most of those who were
collectors in years gone by will re
member how many empty places there
were in their albums when they glo-
ried in the possession of 1900 and
1000 specimens. They will recall how
many new varieties above the 1900
mark cost from So to $50 each; also
the small fortunes placed on some OF
the specially rare specimens, the kind
which the dealers catalogues related
had been printed only to the humble,
of 100 or so and but six or seven Were
known to be in existence.
Well Uncle Sans stamp collection
possesses all of these. besides the thou
sands of common kinds. Although il
has taken hard work. many years and
a tidy fortune to do it. the collection
today stands absolutely complete. The
only varieties yet to be added are
those yet to be issued.-Baltimore

How a Bird Dresses.

AS bird fashions do not change. two
suits year are quite enough for NC
birds. but they need to take great care
of them. Each separate feather must
be cleaned and looked over and the
useless ones pulled out. These feath-
ers are not packed close together. you
know, but lie loose and have places
between filed with air. When d bird
wants to get warmer he lifts his feath-
ers so that these air spaces may be
larger. But If his feathers are tan
gled or wet and dirty he could not
raise them, and soon he could not
keep the head in his little body and
would. of couIse, die.

How to Take Them Out of White Ma
teriaIs by Simple Methods.
To remove ink stains from white ma
terials before the ink is quite dry
sprinkle it with salt and rub with half
a lemon or even squeezed rind.
Rinse off the acid and wash at once.
While the ink stains are wet good
plan is to sprinkle some powdered
chalk or starch on the spot and mois-
ten with milk.
When ink stains are fresh they may
be removed by dipping the stained
part into buttermilk or milk that has
been boiled. Change the milk fire.
quently and then wash the article WELL
When ink has been allowed to get
dry place the stained part on saucer
containing little boiled water. mois-
ten the stains and cover with oxalic
acid. Let it remain a few minutes,
then pour boiling water on carefully to
prevent the acid from spreading, as it
will burn and rot the dry threads.
1t is advisable for this reason that
the article should be well rinsed in
warm water. Pour a few drops of
chlorinated soda upon dry ink spots.
If the first application does not remove
the stain try little more liquid. Wash
Immediately.
The chlorinated soda is cheap, 10
cents worth being enough to last for
some time This preparation is poi
son and should not be left within the
reach of children. 1t is excellent for
linen or cotton. but will destroy silk
fabrics. Muriatic acid is most useful
in removing red ink stains.

II women would only launder their
delicate lingerie waists themselves in
stead of putting them with other
clothes to be rubbed to pieces they
will be repaid by their wearing three
or four times as long.
First carefully mend any little rip or
tear III the waist. then wash in warm
water with pure white soap. rubbing
as little and as carefully as possible.
squeezing will take most of the dirt
out. Rinse the soap. out thoroughly.
putting a few drops of bluing in the

putting one heaping tablespoonful of
starch in a fat earthenware crock.
adding cold water to make a paste,
then turn ON slowly one quart of boil
Ing water, stirring all the time, and
add bit of bluing. Dip the waist in
this, wiring out and if white hang in
the sunshine to dry and whiten; if col
bred. dry indoors. Half an hour before
ironing sprinkle aod roll in a towel.
Be sure your irons are clean and rub a
little paraffin over each one and try
on paper before using. Remember that
pongee should always be ironed when
it is perfectly dry and with a warm.
not hot, iron.
Iron the sleeves first. and by using a
small iron you will find it possible to
iron them without creasing, even if
you do not possess a sleeve board.
Then iron the body Of the waist, doing
the tucks and plain part first on the
right side, leaving the embroidery and
lace, which should be ironed on the
wrong side, for the last. To iron the
tucks nicely start at the shoulder,
holding the waist at the bottom of the
tucks firmly with the left hand to
straighten them, and be careful not to
use too hot an iron.
The null ties and jabots look much
softer and prettier If no starch Is used,
but the little neck things that are in
tended to hang straight can have just
a bit Of thin boiled starch in them.
The plated jabots should have the
plaits firmly basted into place with
fine stitches before being washed, and
1t is better to haste just at the bottom
edge. so the lines Of the thread won't
show when it is ironed. When ironing
begin at the bottom, pulling it gently
from the top. The plaits adjust them
selves.
It is a simple thing to launder en-
broidered collars and takes but a few
minutes Make little cold starch by
adding one-half tablespoonful of starch
to a pint of cold water and add 8
drop of bluing. After washing and
rinsing the collars rub them in thu
starch. fold them in a cloth for about
ten minutes. place them on a wei
padded ironing board, then cover with
a cloth and iron on the wrong side un
til nearly dry, then without the cloth
until perfectly dry, finishing the but
tonhole part on the right side to curve
it. Turn over the embroidered part
last.
