ANCIENT STONE SUN DIAL
1t Was Built Into a Church suttress,
Probably In the Thirteenth
Century.

The stone sun dial, probably of the
thirteenth century, which has just been
placed in the south wall Of the chancel
of West Clandon church, is likely to
be of considerable interest to anti
quaries The dial, which has unfor-
tunately last it's gnomon, was till re-
Gently built into the western side Of
q buttress, having apparently been re-
garded as a piece Of stone of no value.
The stone on which the dial is cut
IL Of chalk and the dial is about foot
across. The engraving Of the lines
on the face Is deep and sharp, the
stone being In a good state OF preser-
vation, and the hole in which the
gnomon had been fixed is wide and
deep. At each Of those positions on
the face Of the dial which in a clock
would be called the quarters four dots
are engraved, but these dots are ar
ranged in different positions Sun dials
such as that at West Clandon are
not at all rare and at one time they
were probably placed on every church.
Indeed, at Saltwood, in Kent, there
are three close together, but particu-
lar interest attaches to the specimen
at West Clandon from the fact that it
is much nearer perfect than Is gener-
ally the case.-The Guardian.

WASHING SILK BLOUSE
WHITE ONES MUST Be DEALT
WITH BY THEMSELVES.
Soap Jelly, Freshly Prepared, tho Best
to Use-Some Minor Points, That
Mean Much, Well to Keep In
tho Memory.

When the washing and ironing of
silk is so easily done there is prob
ably nothing so practical and useful as
the silk waists. When preparing to
wash silk waists separate them into
coiors, putting the white ones alone.
Soap jelly is easily prepared. and is
valuable help. 1t should not be kept
for longer than a week, as 1t soon
loses its strength
Have ready three bowls Of luke
warm water, and into two Of them
place some Of the soap jelly. In the
first bath plunge the waist, having the
right side uppermost. Squeeze the
soapy water gently through the fabric,
keeping it we'll under the water, and
paying special attention to the neck.
wristbands and armholes. When tho
waist is well washed in the first water
squeeze the water out of 1t. Never
wiring the garment. Turn 1t on the
wrong side and repeat the process OF
washing in the second bath of soapy
water. Squeeze when we'll washed.
Shake and rinse in clean, warm wa.
ter to remove the soap. Then rinse
In cold water, and If possible In run.
ming water. In order to make white
silk good color rinse in blue water.
Silk must be ironed while quite damp
CT it will have a rough, unfinished ap-
pearance. Use a moderately hot iron
and place piece of muslin between 1t
and the right side of the silk. 1t has
been found that hot iron yellows
silk and gives q crimped, rough ap-
pearance. Iron the silk tc give it
good gloss. Lace trimmings on the
waist should always be ironed on the
wrong side. as lace is never supposed
to have a gloss.

DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED
English Physician Gives Come Simple
Rules That VIII Aid Seekers
After Health.

correspondent OF the Medical
Times sends an interesting note on
deep breathing. The best time Che
says) seems to be Immediately before
retiring to, bed, as, doing nothing more
before lying down, the habit contin-
ues and becomes fixed; the window, of
course, should be open more or less.
After breathing In as much as pos
sible through the nose (out, anyhow,
either mouth or nose), the nose
should be held by the thumb and fore
finger with handkerchief for about
fifteen seconds to prevent the escape
OF air, and thereby force the constitu-
ents OF the air over the system. This
should be repeated from four to eight
times at intervals of about half a min
ute.
The particular proof of this being
more effective than other. methods
is seen In the following experience:
After following the above method I
notice that at the heaviest meal OF the
day my pulse quickens the same
whether I take fish or a strong meat,
such as beef or mutton; before observ.
Ing the above points in deep breath

No Profit In AIlIaators.

The difficulty about raising alliga-
tors to supply the demand for the ami
mails and skins is that they do not
attain full growth for about 100 years.
The skin of the six or seven-year-old
animal is available, however, for
many practical purposes. There is
one on a farm at Palm Beach which
measures Is feet in length and is said
to be about 900 years old. There are
several of these farms in operation at
the present time, but the industry will
not be really profitable until the wild
alligators become scarcer.
