When you wish to be away from
home for a few days and there Is no
one to water the house plants the sim
pie device shown here will help to
solve tho difficulty.
Just before leaving water the plants
thoroughly. On box or old chair in
some suitable place set. a very large
pail or the wash boiler filed with wa
ter. Cn the foOr round the box ar
range the pots Of plants.
From q piece Of unbleached muslin
tear strips long enough to reach from
the bottom Of the inside Of the pail to
each fiowerpot. Fasten all the strips
together at one end and attach to the
fastened ends a weight Of some kind
heavy enough to sink them to the bot
tom Of the pail. Then spread out the
strips Of muslin all round the rim Of
the vessel and lead them to the plants,
one strip to each pot, where a nail or q
small stone will hold the end in place.
In q few minutes the water will work
its way up the strips, just as kerosene
runs up the wick in a lamp, over the
edge of the vessel and down to the
plants and will continue to distribute
the water drop by drop as long AZ any
remains In the pail.

Bows and Girls Sinf in Sifn Lanfuafe.


Two hundred boys and girls in
capable of speech or hearing. singing
America" in the sign language,
was one OF the unusual features of
the programme given in connection
with the semi.centennial celebration
of the State School of the Deaf at
Olathe, Kan, recently. The event
was one long to be remembered by
the deaf of the country, inasmuch as
the programme gave complete his
tory of the efforts put forth in this
country to benefit and teach the
deaf children. Aside from the stu
dents and teachers of the school, the
programme numbered among its
speakers Gov. w. R. Stubbs, ex-
Gov. John p. St. John. Senator
George H. Hodges and other prom
inent men from out of the State.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
features was the khaki drill by the
deaf students, under the supervision
Of Luther Dummy Taylor, athlete
and a graduate of the Olathe school.
The school first was established
as q private institution at Baldwin,
Kan, by P. A. Emery, q deaf mute,
in 1861. There were five pupils at
the first enrolment, while the insti-
tuition at Olathe numbers 142 boys
and 100 girls. The school was taken
over by the State in 1866 and located
at Olathe. Of the FIVE original pu-
pills, two are now living in Kansas.
Mrs. Louisa Curtis. who married an
uncle OF Senator Charles Curtis,
lives at Lawrence, while Mrs. Eliza
beth Gates lives at Harris. Mrs.
Matilda Harbert of Colorado Springs,
is one of the five original pupils.

Laundry Hints.

II muslin should be too sti6 when
ironed It can be put through clear wa
ter and ironed again.
Do not use too hot an iron for col
ored muslin or the fabric will fade.
Instead of starching net blouses or
ties put them through a weak solution
Of gum water or use a solution of bo-
rax in the proportion Of one table
spoonful to two quarts of water. Lace
or muslin treated in this way has q
newer and softer look than when
Starched.

Everybody knows in general way
how important it is to give the teeth
q good cleaning and to rinse the
mouth out first thing in the morning.
The object, of course, is to remove
the accumulation Of bacteria which
gather on the teeth, gums, tongue
and palate during tie hours of sleep.
How many germs do you suppose ac-
cumulate during the nights sleep?
In answer to this question E. c.
Bonsfield. writing in the Lancet,
gives some interesting and rather
startling figures, which are worth
quoting. Hestates that he has found
tho mouth on waking in the morning
to contain about three thousand mill
lion bacteria, capable Of being re-
moved by q five-fold rinsing with
twenty-five centimers of water each
time. After ordinary washing Of the
teeth with q hard tooth brush, about
one-fourth the number could still be
rinsed away. After using teeth paste
only one hundred and twenty mil
lions were left.
