Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
WASHING AND IRONING.


When washing sateen a little borax
put into the last rinsing water is very
good to make the sateen glossy when
ironed.
To preserve the natural whiteness
Of linen a good plan IS to boil the
linen in water that blue has been add
ed to. After boiling, the articles should
be thoroughly rinsed in clean cold wa
ter and then put in the blue as. usual.
II this method is adopted. the linen
will be found to be much winter than
when put in cold blue water in the
usual way.
When washing colored or patterned
materials in which the co!ors may
rum. one teaspoonful Of blue black ink
added to the tub Of water will set the
colors at Once and for all. Black and
white goods especially have an un-
pleasant habit OF drying with brown
ish stripes. The small quantity Of ink
required prevents this, and they will
come out like new.
When washing blankets pour into a
tub half d pint Of household ammonia
and lay a blanket over it: cover imme.
diutely with lukewarm water. This
sends the fumes Of the ammOnia
through the blanket and loosens the
dirt. The blanket should then be
stirred about with a stick and pressed
until all the dirt sens to be in the wa.
ter; then rinse in q tub Of clear water
OF the same temperature as the first
Run lightly through a wr1nger and
hang out to dry. =.

her face eastward, she walked. sing
ing by the way for bits Of money.
till she came to the Danube river.
This she followed, occasionally making
short distances by boat, and at ito
mouth III the Black seq found a ship
about to leave for Constantinople. She
prevailed upon the captain to take her
with him, promising to amuse those
on board during the trip with her
minstrelsy. From Constantinople, then

but before doing so she learned some.

Jew songs. These she sang by the
way, visiting different Turkish cities
and saving nearly all the coins that
We're given her.
Two years after Comma had left
Venice she found herself one day sit
ting on a bridge hat crossed a river
dividing a city. singing a Turkish song
and accompanying herself on her harp
While she sat IN the bridge a Turk
walked by, followed by a retnue Of
servants. among them a tall white
slave about twenty-one years old, In
whom there was something to remind
her Of the boy Dino. She sang a few.
notes in an undertone Of the song. The
slave stopped and looked at her in as
constituent. Comma. though she knew
she had found her quest. had presence
OF mind enough to look IN order to
him not to notice her. Dino saw in
the supposed Turkish boy a develop
ment Of his child friend and restrained
himself. He was in the rear Of the
train Of slaves, and Comma made q
sign to him to go on
The next day a slave dealer applied
to Dino'S master to buy the slave. The
master would not sell. Dino, who had
got word from Comma that she would
buy him with her savings. set himself
to work to dissatisfy his master with
him. Many a bastinado he got for,re-
fusing to work. but he: persisted. and
at q low price. which took nearly al.
the money Comma had saved.
When Dino was turned over to his
new master there was a joyful meet
ing. But when Dino approached tc

was the only one Of the child crusaders
that had sailed away on the Adriaus

Why Heavier Than Air Machine Can

Every boy who has played the thrill

the speed slacken for an instant or the

Now, an aeroplane may be kept aloft
on exactly the same principle. Let
these broad planes stand still for a mo-
ment and they will begin to flutter
downward or turn on edge and plunge
swiftly to the ground. BY keeping
them moving. however. they gain the
very slight supporting power Of the
air. The greater the speed the more
level is the fight and the less the
chance of falling. An aeroplane flight,
therefore. is a glorious game OF tickly

AK DOck IN Wnat are called n
middle ages in Europe one vast
army after another marched to
Palestine with a view to free
ing the holy sepulcher from the .infidel
Turk. These crusades. as they were
called. produced an epidemic of fanat-
icism which at last seized upon the
children. 4 French peasant boy about
twelve years old conceived the idea
that he had been assigned a divine
mission to lead the children to the res
cue Of the holy sepulcher. He exhort-
ed them, making them wild with re-
ligious frenzy. Fifty thousand chill
dren went from Germany and 10000
from B%rindusium from whom no voice
ever came back. The French children
were betrayed and sold to Moham1ne-
dan masters.
At that time there lived in Venice a
boy named Dino Cosimo. who was be-
ing brought up with a little girl. Gem
ma. his constant playfellow. Dino new
er played with boys. Comma never
played with girls. because neither
! would give up for any time the society
Of the other. Dino used to row Gem
ma in his little gondola on the canals
every day. During these boat rides
they would sing. though the songs they
knew We're very limited. Dino handling
the pole. Comma sitting in the stern
with her lutte. a stringed instrument.
When the wave OF childish fanat
icism that resulted in the children'S
crusades swept I'VE Europe it carried
Dino with it. Comma was a child OF
rare foresight for those days and did
not see how children could accomplish
that in which great armies had failed
She begged Dino not to go. but he
and that the child army would be made
to prevail by divine interposition.
Dino bid adieu to his playmate and
sailed out upon the Adriatic sea with
a fleet-o child laden ships.
Month after month. year after year
passed. and no tidings came from the
fleet of children. Gemma from the
first had little faith in the success o.
the expedition and at last made up he

A PRETTY EXPERIMENT..

Any child can easily perform this
pretty experiment in crystallization.
Take some common soda and dissolve
as much in water rs the water will
hold. When no more soda will dissolve.
although you stir it up. the water is
what is called 4 saturated solution.
After the remaining soda has settled
to the bottom pour off the clear solu-
ton into Il tall glass. tie a large bean
piece Of glass or stone ut the other end.
The thread should be just long enough
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1913-09-12

to let both these objects hang In the
solution while the middle Of the thread
rests on a stick placed across the top
OF the glass.
Leave it alone for a few days and
you will tind that the bean Is covered
with sharp little needles OF soda look
ing like hoarfrost. while the stone or
glass has not changed. The reason IS
that the bean has absorbed water and
in so doing has crowded out the soda.
which deposits itself on the outside OF
the bean. while the stone, since 1t can
not absorb water, remains unchanged.

Tables are often spoiled by water

be made waterproof by putting a piece

ware. Turn the dish SO hat the sides

Elliott, Trenton, Iowa farm
er shot Miles Morrow another farmer,
twice in the body after striking him
over the head with a poker in
quarrel at Felger's store at Trenton,
north Of here Saturday night, accord
ing to- the Henry county authorities
who are investigating the matter. It is
declared that Elliott acted in self
defense, Morrow, who has served a
year at Anamosa, becoming abusive
while under the Influence Of liquor.
The officers say Elliott used a stove
poker, Morrow's head being mass Of
cuts and bruises, the bleeding from
which caused great weakness. Upon
a second attack by Morrow, Elliott is
declared to have drawn a revolver,
shooting Morrow once in the Jaw and
second time in the body, the bullet
following rib around. Pieces of one
bullet have been taken out by the
physicians, the rest still remaining in
the wound. The report from the Ed
Morrow home, the brothers place

suffering much pain.
Sheriff Leo Kaufman and County
Attorney F. s. Finley were on. the

preparations were made to rush the
apparently demented man. Before these
preparations could be completed Mr.
Dodge pumped the gun again and the
charge tore off the side of his head.

Illinois unless the legislature I

Illinois unless the legislature makes
very great haste in elect1ng senator
it will lose it's jurisdiction over the
matter before it gets to the finish. This
would come about because OF the tact
that as soon as the 36th state has ap-
proved the time for electing senators
by legislative vote will have ended for
ever. .n.. .. =
The Oregon plan" bill has been held
back and has not yet gone to Gov.
Clarke, for the reason that 1t is desir-
ed to wait and see about the adoption
Of the amendment. s.u
Governor Clarke has received a copy
Of the Massachusetts law which on the
10th Of this month was signed by Eu-
gene Foss to regulate hat pins in Bos-
ton and outlying districts 1t forbids
anyone wearing a hat pin the point Of
which protrudes more than half an
inch from the hat without the point Is

Tho Five-MiIe Limit Bill Bluff.
The sub committee having In charge
the bill to rebuke the state board OF
e lcation is expected to make report
today to the senate committee, and the
substitute for the Klay bill will finally
get before the senate. The opponents
of the board claim they have played a
limit bill injected into the game. This
was done for the purpose Of affording
a way to line up the democrats solidly
against the college board. The demo-
Gratis of the senate have been made to
see plainly that &. unless they vote
against the college board they will run
the risk of having the f1ve-mile bill
passed, and in this way, so 1T Is being
said in and around the Hobbies, the
solid democratic vote of the senate has
been secured for the fight on the board
Of education. AS a matter Of fact there
has not been the slightest intent on the
part Of anyone to pass the f1ve-mile
limit bill, and this program is but car
rying out the rumor as to plans which
WAS current when the bill was intro-
duced. s.
Governor Clarke made it very plain
to the women and those who were in
terested in the women suffrage amend
ment. who gathered in his office Sat
urday afternoon, that he signed the
joint resolution with real pleasure and
that he believes that it ought to be |
adopted by the next general assembly
and go direct to the people. Governor
Clarke has been a consistent advocate
of the principle Of going direct to the
people with practically everything. |
