DISHWASHIEG.
How to Mako Usually Unpleasant Task
Agreeable.

Dish washing, which is probably the
most disliked of all household tasks,
may be made very pleasant bit OF
work if the proper preparati ton is made.
First there should be a generous sup
ply of towels. and it will be found best
never to use a dish towel more than
once without laundering.
| There should be more than one kind
of wiping cloths used, according to
the nature Of the dishes. Soft glass
towelng should be used for the glass
and linen crash for the other pieces.
For washing more variety is requir-
ed There should be mop for use
on deep articles. a soft cloth for fine
ware, a heavy one for ordinary dishes
and a wire dishcloth for iron ware or
cooking utensils.
OF course there should be plentiful
supply of hot water. good soap, am
monia or boraX, if the water is hard.
and two pans. one for the washing
and the other for rinsing, with a wire
tray or basket to drain.
For the washing fill the pan half
| full of pleasantly warm water. omit
tin soap for the glasses and adding
instead little borax or ammonia.
making sure that glasses containing
milk have been thoroughly rinsed be-
fore putting into hot water, rs 1t will
be impossible to get them clear other
WISE
Wipe the glasses without letting
them drain. rs draining is apt to make
streaks. Cut glass needs soft but
firm brush. as it cannot be kept clean
with ordinary washing.
| Silver will not need rubbing so often
II little borax is added to the water
In which 1t is washed, and it should
| not stand to drain. but be wiped as
soon as taken from the water
Cooking dishes which have been fill
ed with cold water as soon as emptied
will be found easy to wash. If food
| has been let burn in utensil, if filled
with water to which little I've or
considerable soda has been added, you
will find most of the blackness has
vanished.
| When the dishes have been washed
then put all the cloths through a wash
and hang to dry in the air where the
sunlight may find and sweeten them,
as it is not possible to keep dishcloths
wholesome unless so treated.
And If you value the health and
comfort Of your family you will OBJ
serve this injunction about the dish
cloths. as it is quite possible for ty
phoid and other germs to Turk in dish
cloths which are carelessly laid aside
for next occasion.

PAY OF SHIP CAPTAINS.
Those Who Run the Big Atlantic
Liners Average $4,000 a Year.

1t has often been asserted that cap
tains of express steamships plying be-
tween New York and the great ports
greater than that of many clerks
whom one meets in the daily journey
into and out of the city. and the i'm
preston has been created in many
minds that sea captains as class are
the most underpaid class of men-next
only to the wireless operators upon
their ships-in the world.
AS matter of fact. the captains Of
the transatlantic steamships do not
receive sums commensurate with their
responsibilities. Those whose yearly
fixed salaries are $1,000 can be count
ed on the fingers Of one hand. Cap
tain Smith of the Titanic was in the
highest paid class of ocean liner cap
tains Although officers oFthe White
Star line will not make public the
salaries of the commanders Smiths
salary. his friends say. was $1,000
record for the twelvemonth period was
absolutely clear.
AS there are few ships in the class to
which the Titanic belonged. the rea-
tive fixed salaries on other vessels of
the north Atlantic route probably
range down as low as $1,000. with
$1,000 representing fair average. For
men who bear full responsibility Of
commanding vessels valued at from
$1.O00,OOO to $1O.OOO.O0O and for trans
porting safely the human freight Of
these vessels. often to the number of
as many as 5000 souls. such pay has
been declared to be woefully made

How to Get Rid Of DandeIions.

There are two ways of opening the
campaign against the dandelions this
summer One is to cut them out by
hand, and the other and more mod
ern method is to spray the weeds with
copperas, an iron sulphate. says Sub
urban Life.
If you cut the plants out by hand II
Is necessary to cut we'll below the
crown with long. sharp knife. It is
claimed by weed experts that the
weeds do not propagate from the roots
as much as from the crown.
To use the iron sulphate or copperas
dissolve one and one-fourth pounds Of
salt to n gallon of water and apply to
the lawn with spray pump. Cover
the lawn thoroughly. There will be
no injury to the grass. In couple Of
weeks apply the spray again and re-
peat the operation in fortnight after
that.
The grass appears black after treat
ment. but after being cut once as
sumes a really richer shade of green
than formerly.
