WORLD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
Real Philosopher Does Not Worry
Much over the Terrible Plight
of the Future.

One may ardently advocate the con-
servation of natural resources without
losing rest In worrying about what
we shall do for crossties when all
forests are destroyed, or for warmth
when coal Is exhausted. 1t is really
unwise to get hysterical over such
troubles, so long as they are under
contract for future delivery. None
of us should be deficient in philoso-
ply. The real philosopher is he who,
having sure tip that things are COM
ing his way, smiles upon adversely
with Indulgence.
1t is just as well to consider that
by the time crosstie material quits
growing all the Pullmans will be in
the air with all the berths upper, and
that a thousand years from now, II
the scarcity of coal runs the price up
to $1,000 a ton, some miserable sin.
ners of the present may have cause
to rejoice in the prospect Of lower
temperatures.
The world is going to take care of
itself and the guess that the little
earth will be rocking along on sched-
ule time a hundred thousand years
hence is just as good as any other.
Why, therefore, worry? Why attempt
to solve the puzzle of navigating the
future of dreadnoughts too big for the
sea; leave that to future Hobsons.
If the safe and sane people will just
make up their minds TO cultivate
philosophy, and to practise it. many
disturbing factors would be elimi-
mated There is nothing like determ.
lining that it will work out all right;
it always does.

SANDS OF THE SEA USEFUL
and Misunderstanding Character
of Quicksands Explained.

The sands of the sea are singularly
useful They are OF primary impor.
lance In glassmaking. They have an
important place in warfare, as a bank
of sand twenty inches thick is proof
against modern rifle shots. The cleo
trical properties Of sand show that it
has positive electricity, although a rod
of silica, the chief constituent of sand
is negative.
The singular drying effect which oc-
ours when stretch of wet sand is
pressed by the foot is due entirely to
an alteration in the piling Of the sand
grains, Normally the grains are close
together, but abnormal piling is
brought about by pressure Of the foot,
the space between the edges of the
grains being enlarged and the water
drained away. If the pressure of the
foot Is continued the sand becomes
wetter than ever, tho partial vacuum
quickly bringing water from the sur.
rounding sand.
In quicksands the moving character
is thought to be due to the imprison.
ment between the grains of gases from
organic matter

Home Hints.
How to Wash Blankets.

Blankets can be washed at home with
the same amount of success as may be
expected from a professional. One should
use plenty of water. To wash. first shake
the blankets well in the open air and
then place in suds made with warm
water and a good white soap. Soak and
lift up and down in the water, squeezing
and rubbing with the hands. Do not
use soap directly on the blankets or rub
on a board. II the water Is hard add
half a teacupful of ammonia to the bath
If the blankets are very much soiled IL
may be necessary to put them through
second suds. not quite as strong as
the first. If not, then rinse in clean.
warm water. adding borax or ammonia.
This not only softens the water. but is
purifying Wiring and hang lengthwise
over the line to dry. During the drying
the blankets should be changed as re-
quired and smoothed into shape by MAX
ing the edges set exactly even.
Blankets SO treated should be soft. clean
and as fluffy when new. A dull or
damp day should not be chosen for the
washing. A sunny and not too windy
day Will give the best results

house dress or freshening the tailored
suit. The newest cun is almost straight
and band-like and Is not quite as deep as
the cuffs worn last year. Another new
feature Is the trimming on both edges.
Sometimes three edges are trimmed. as is
the case of those buttoning about the
arm. The shape resembles the cuffs worn
by. a widow, but they are trimmed. Lawn
edged with point de venise and showing
a group of tiny tucks above are very
pretty and durable.
Very few knife-pleated Fittings are
seen this season, and the same may be
said OF the long jabots. An example of
the latter which was new was made from
four-pointed tabs of lawn edged with
lace overlapping each other, caught down
to strip of lace (banding) about an inch
and half wide.
Val lace Is always in good taste as a.
trimming for neckwear, and will never go
out of fashion. When real lace is beyond
ones purse there is no better substitute
than nice valenciennes. Many of the
prettiest novelties of the season are a
combination Of val lace and fine sheer
lawn. ELIZABETH LEE.

New NeckWear Lace.

Dyeing Cotton Goods.

Amateur dyers often complain that in
dyeing cotton goods small holes are apt
to form themselves during the process.
This. l am told, is not the result of the
chemicals used in the dye as Is generally
supposed. but because cotton goods are
often turned out from the looms with
broken threads. These are not visible
until after washing or dyeing. Cotton and
mixed goods absorb the dye more slowly
than does wool. and for that reason they
should be allowed to cool In the dye bath
in order to allow the color to set more
firmly.

Rhode Island-will, there is reason to believe, continue to show the densest average of population of all the states when the count is finally and fully cast up. In spite of the nearly 10000 900 accredited to New York state, there are less than an average of 200 to the square mile in the Empire State, while the Rhode Island showing is something over 400 to the square mile upon the average. The recently given out cen sus figures indicate an average for Maryland of about 108 people to the square mile, though, of course, more than half the population is ooncentrat- ed in the cities and towns and has no such distribution. Texas, even if the 100000 population status shall be reached, will have less than twelve people to the square mile; Arizona is likely to have less than two to the square mile; Wyoming less than one and one-half to the square mile, and Nevada less than one to each square mile.

The Daughters of Hierod.

TIor- TOT on horror, to wilfully play with such statements. No girl has been known to die in that house by the riV- er but the neighbors know and the police more than suspect. that des- perately sick girls have been bundled into carriage at night and driven to an annex about a mile away, where in house of mystery, the home of an unrecognized woman and an un- claimed doctor-they may recover if they can. Out of the mist of memory flashed a paragraph of the Susan Geary trial: pr" Hunt, the notori- ous malpractitioner, is Seing accused. "He said," testified the witness, he said that he had an undertaken who did not care: and a doctor who was not afraid and if they failed him he had some dress suit cases and it was only a short walk to the Delaware riVeP!"
 Fronting that terrible reality the root truth grips harder: that crime increases as the chances of detection diminish. When unnatural parents, made desperate by fear, are willing to consider that the markeL price for securing relief from an uqwanted baby is $50, and that 65 per cent O. all such miserable mites will assured,y die in some house by the river with in the month of their surrender, t grows obvious that little chiilren faced less cruel danger in the days of Hercd, the king.-Mary Boyle O'Reilly in the New England Magazine for December.
