grave importance that the negroes
should assert their individuality, and
by their imitation Of such institutions

Some Uses Of Soap.

A bar of common yellow soap will
stop a mouse hole effectually; make
bureau drawers and windows which
are inclined to stick work smoothly;
take the pain from a burn; cut up fine
Quarter of a BARI and dissolved in hot,
strong borax water, 1t will clean plated
silver ware; let silver soak for two or
three hours in the solution and little
rubbing WILL be needed. Combined
with brown sugar, soap will bring a
painful swelling to a head and draw
out splinter from under the finger
nail. Rubbed on a nail, it will pre-
vent the wood through which it is
driven from splitting. This is often
used by carpenters, who drive the
nail through a bar of soap before using.
Mixed with stove backing, 1t lessons
the labor Of applying and improves
results. It will stop leak in a boil

moves the odor of perspiration. 1t
will also serve as a substitute for wax
to point darning yarn. The inner wrap
pers are useful to clean f1atirons.

BETTER THAN SOAP
WHEN WASHING BLANKETS USE
AMMONIA.
Gives More Practical Results and IL
Easier to Use-Material Leaves
Tub In Excellent Condition.,
Soft and White.

Now the housekeeper must begin
to think of washing and putting away
the winter blankets. It Ia a mistake
says an authority, to do the launder-
ing with soap. Ammonia does the work
much more easily and makes the blan-
ket much whittier and softer than soap
can without a tremendous deal of
rubbing and other back-breaking ex-
ertion.
Put about a cupful or more of am
monia into the washtub If a single
blanket is to be washed, allowing
twice as much for a double blanket.
Lay the blanket loosely in the tub
and pour over it just barely enough
hot water to cover it. About two gal
Ions of water will be necessary for
every cupful of ammonia. Move the
blanket about with a wooden stick for
monia fumes will have a chance to
reach every particle Of the surface.
No soap or rubbing is necessary ex-
cept possibly around the hem, as the
ammonia draws out all the dirt. When
the water is discolored and the blanket
is nice and white, rinse it in fresh
water. Do not wiring it, but squeeze it
lightly with the hands Wringing pulls
it out of shape. AS soon as the blan-
ket is properly rinsed, hang it at once
upon the line, letting the water drip
from it while drying. OCCASIONALLY
while it is drying, squeeze the ends
with the hands, being careful not to
pull the fiber. When perfectly dry,
bring it into the house and then press
it with heavy weights, if not perfectly
smooth. No ironing is necessary.
Some housewives dry blankets on
curtain stretchers. They say that the
blanket keeps its shape better and,
Of course, there is no possibility of it's
shrinking.
Needless to say, a sunny day should
be selected for the work. The more
quickly a blanket dries the less it
shrinks and the better it looks.
When the blanket has a colored Dor.
der, as it usually has, care should be
taken that it does not overlap, as the
color may run"

tHe Grand PrlX, where millinery and
horses triumph-but mostly millinery.
1t would surely hold it's own in any
meeting of those who make dress
study and vie with one another in dis
play. Happy the bride or bridesmaid
who may indulge herself in it's coun-
terpart. 1t is hat for high occasion.
There are four long, but not heavy,
plumes, more like soft mass of snow
than anything else in nature. There
is almost no curl in the long fibers.
Such hat never was and never will
be out of style.
The third hat is more distinctly Of
the season. 1t has a bell-like brim
with irregular edge and fairly tall
crown. Fuor long plumes are mounted
at the right under bow that is more
than large. They fall completely over
the crown, to the left brim. One half
droop Of the brim. This hat is almost
universally becoming.
All these hats are set on the head
in the proper position. 1t will be no.
ticed that the pose is dignified-not
rakish. The crowns are posed as
they should be, directly on top Of the
head. It is the modelling of the brims
that gives each hat its individuality
and makes each extraordinary. AS
studies in midsummer high art millin.
cry they must interest everyone.
Those who would like fac-similes of
any one of these must consider whefh-
er their features are of the same class
or not, and remember that the rest
of the toilette must play up to the hat.
Such millinery is immensely useful
for 1t is brimming over with good sug.

follow-some of them at a discreet
distance. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would trritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.
FINALLY got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be SO much less. I used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
return of the eczema.

wbsrs He Made His Monsx

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The
county families could never discover
how he had made his money, but
were satisfied by his solemn assurance
that it was not in trade. Nothing
could exceed the ordinary gravity of
his demeanor, which indeed caused
him to be placed on the commission
of peace, but now and then, without
any apparent provocation, he would
burst into such a laugh as no one eyer
heard before except in one place.
Where they could have heard 1t puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed unconseiousIy by his own
grandchild, who, after a visit to a tray-
cling circus, %innocently exclaimed,

speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides
these tricks, II has a repertory which
Is not often equaled by any other

Murder Revealed by a Dream.

Perhaps the most amazing crime
mystery ever solved by a dream was
that revealed by a murder trial, a
couple Of generations ago. The dead
body of Mr.. Norway, an inoffensive
Cornish gentleman, had been found by
the roadside between Wadebridge and
Bodmin, brutally murdered. No trace
Of the murderer could be found, and
the mystery of the crime seemed be-
yond all solution, when Mr.. Norway's
brother, a naval officer, arrived in Eng
land and told the following singular
story:
On the very night OF his brothers
murder, when he was On his ship in
the West Indies, he saw him in a
dream walking along the Bodmin road,
when from a dark recess in the hedge
two rufians sprang out, slew ana
robbed him and then made their way
to a house inIFNadebridge, which he
saw vividly M his dream. To this
house he conducted the police officers,
and there he found the very two men
whom in his vision he had seen com
NIT the murder. They confessed and
suffered the extreme penalty of the
