MAKING USE OF OLD LINEN
One Of the Most Valuable Assets Of
the Housekeepers and Should
Be Kept.

No old linen should ever be thrown
away. It is one Of the most valu-
able assets Of the housekeeper.
When sheets wear away in the mid
die cut them down the center. Put
the two outside edges together so as
to form a seam and hem the outer thin
edges.
When the new center wears out
also cut the good pieces into squares
as large as possible, edge them with
torchon or crochet lace and utilize
them for tea table or tray cloths.
The remainder tear into long strips,
wash, mangle and roll up and keep
them for use in case Of illness.
Old huckabacks make an excellent
polishing cloth for plate. For WHIP
ing delicate china old linen has no
equal
Old muslin curtains should be well
boiled to free them from starch. The
muslin makes good bags for tying
I'D herbs and spices In soups and
stews, while, II the meshes are not too
large, It will be found the very thing
for straining sauces and gravies.
Salt bags should never be thrown
away. Well boiled to remove the
dressing the material contains they
will be found to provide really very
useful jelly bags.

MISHAP TO SACK AND JILL"
Certain Familiar Mother Goose Rhyme
10 Revised by Copy Read In
Newspaper Office.

Good nonsense grows out Of good
nonsense. A writer in the Chicago
Tribune imagines what "copy-read-
err" in q newspaper office would do
with a certain familiar Mother Goose
rhyme. The copy.reader, who mas
had a reporters training, and has
learned to write everything alike, sits
down for a few moments, and revises
Jack and Jill" somewhat as follows:
Jack, aged seven, son Of Peter Jones,
99S Spring street, and jill, aged Six.
daughter OF Mrs. Abigail Thompson,
'9G Spring street, at eleven o'clock
yesterday morning walked up the hill
rear the junction Of Blinker avenue
and Fordyce place.
For the purpose, as jill afterward
explained, of procuring a pail of water
although the improbability Of their
finding water at the top Of a hill nat
urally suggests itself.
Jack, who was carrying the PAIL
had started on the return trip, accom-
panied by the little girl, when he
-tumbled, as is supposed, over some
obstacle in his path, and fell, his head
striking the ground with great vio-
lence. Doctor Slack, who was at once
summoned. pronounced the lads In
jury to be a fracture Of the anterior
portion of the Uranium, and ordered
his immediate removal to Blessington
hospital.
And jill, who had fallen at the same
time, either through excessive fright
or in consequence of having stumbled
over the same obstacle. but had re-
ceived no serious injury, went home
unassisted.

TEACHES ART OF SWIMMING
Apparatus Invented by California
Man Makes Children Proficient
Without Aid Of Water.

An apparatus to teach swimming
without water has been invented by a
California man. The principle lies in
the fact that it will teach the proper
stroke because no other is possible,
and when this movement has become
habit the pupil will strike out in the
correct way as soon as he or she
hits the water. The novice lies on
padded support, which extends to her
knees. She grasps a pair Of pulleys
above her head, and attached to
these pulleys are cables. The cable
in her right hand is fastened to her
left ankle and that in her left hand
to her right ankle.
When the learners hands are
brought down to her sides in the arm
stroke her legs are made to kick
