inside to grab the pitchfofk. let go the

had slammed shut and latched. She
was a prisoner inside, while her baby

reply he heard a succession of pound

How to Clean Feather.

The safest method of cleaning a
white ostrich plume is to move it back
and forth in gasoline. Put about a
quart of gasoline in a pan and move
the feather about In it gently, using
great care not to break the stem nor
tear off the flues. If the feather is eX
cessively soiled more than one portion
of gasoline may be required Hang
the feather in the sun and air to dry
When dry take each tlue between the
fingers and curl it with dull bladed
knife In using gasoline be careful nor
to be near the gaslight.

A Simple Trick.

The man who cut one hole in his
door for the cat and another for the
kitten would find it difficult to pass
nickel through hole the size of a
dime cut in a stout piece of paper.
This explains how easily it can be
done. Fold the paper across the cen
ter of the hole. place the nickel in the
fold and bend the lower corners Of the
paper upward. This elongates the
opening, and the coin falls through.
