NO cAMEL's HAIR BRUSHES
Many Kinds Of Hair Are Used for the
Purpose, That From Squirrel
Tails Best.

II may sound rather strange, but IL
is nevertheless true that no brushes
are ever made of camers hair. yet they
are asked for daily and sold as such
There are very many kinds of hair
used in the making of "cameI's-hair"
brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit,
squirrel, etc. and, indeed. one author
ity states that over $50 sorts of
brushes are known as "camel's-hair"
brushes, but there is only one defini-
tion accepted by the British Board of
eamel's-hair" brushes made
from squirrel tails. these being the
best and most expensive.
Real camers hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes. and resembles
soft tow OF a yellow-brownish color;
the name of a camel is the only part
which could be used. and possibly a
dozen brushes could be made from one
name
AS a matter OF fact there are only
two specimens OF brushes made from
the actual hair of camel in existence.
The reason for the term "camei's-hair"
is the fact that a man named Camel
was the first ore to make these finer
kinds of brushes, and they became
generally known as real camels- hair
brushes. STRAY Stories.

REMEMBER IN THE LAUNDRY
Points That May Seem Of Small In
portance Will Surely Shorten
Time and Labor.

A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled
with white clothes will greatly aid in
ire whitening process. A tablespoon
fl OF DO-ax put in the last water in
which clothes are rinsed will also
whiten them surprisingly. Pound the
borax so that it will dissolve easily.
This is especially good to remove
the yellow which time gives to white
garments that have been laid aside
for two or three years.
When colored muslin has become
faded and it is desired to bleach it
white, chloride of lime put in the
boiling water in the proportion of one
tablespoonful of lime to one quart of
water will effect the result.
Badly stained handkerchiefs can be
made as white as new If placed In a
vessel and covered with ammonia and
peroxide of hydrogen mixed with
twice the bulk OF water.
Let the handkerchiefs soak, and
then. wash them in the usual manner.
Often the gloves in tinted shades dis
color handkerchiefs, and the process
is one of the best for cleaning them.

IS ARE DROWNED
IN FRISCO CARS
Twenty-Six Bodies Taken From
Wreck at Lebanon, Mo.
RAIN HAD UNDERMINED RAILS
Feared That Every Person In the
Chair Coach Perished-Man Es-
capes and Sees His Family of
Five Perish in Water.

Springfield, Mo, Sept. 17.-Between
thirty-five and forty-five persons were
killed and a score of others injured
Tuesday when the locomotive, bag
gage car and forward car of ST. Louis
& San Francisco train No. plunged
down an embankment into a gully
near Lebanon, Mo, and were sub
merged by the swollen stream.
Most of the dead were drowned In
the chair car and a great number of
these were women and children.
Thoes who were able to escape from
their watery prison fought their way
out by breaking windows and swim
ming to safety. 1t is estimated there
were sixty-f1ve passengers in the chair
car.
The names of the identified dead
are as follows:
Henry Wagner, Harrison, Ark.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rosteter, Alliance. o.
w. H. Childress, Billings. Mo.
John Meyers. wife and daughter.
Thayer, Mo.
The Texas limited was one of the
best equipped trains on the Frisco
railroad.
Owing to poor communication with
the scene, OF the wreck, it is impos-
sihie 10 give definite estimate of
how many OF these escaped. None OF
the Pullman sleeping cars left the
track and the passengers in these
quickly formed themselves into rescue
parties.
One man in the chair car lost his
wife and five children. When the ac-
cident occurred he was thrown clear
of the descending chair car and swan
TO shore. In the submerged car his
wife and children met their deaths,
while he stood near by unable to aid
them.
One of the passengers in the sub
merged chair car was Miss Mona
Campbell, a nurse of 81. Louis. She
broke a window and climbed out %
the side OF the car.
Standing in water, she felt about
until she touched the hands of drown
ing passengers. As she grasped a
hand she pulled with all her strength.
In this way she rescued FIVE passen-
gers
Rains last week caused all the
small streams in the vicinity to rise.
The injured were brought to Spring
field The dead are being placed in
hastily arranged morgues at Lebanon.
The engineer said he suddenly en-
countered a cloudburst and a wall OF
water seemed to be sweeping toward
the train. The engineer closed the
throttle to stop the train, but in a
moment the engine and four cars were
swept from the rails.
At the place where the wreck oc-
Cured the tracks are on 12-foot EN-
bankment and at daylight 1t was
learned that part of the embankment
under the track had been washed
away.
According to reports received at
Frisco offices, 26 bodies have been re-
covered.

DESSERTS IN HOT WEATHER
Substitute and Fancy Dishes That May
BE offered to the Guests Of
the Hostess.

Crystalized ginger cut in fancy
shapes may be used In decorating
creams and ices ser1 ed in high
small diamond shapes to represent
leaves with a piece of candied cherry
for the flower. A good summer des-
sert consists Of a sherbet glass filled
with lemon ice or vanilla cream, with
a little well in the center filed with
chopped preserved ginger and bran
died figs. Over this is a spoonful Of
stiffiy whipped cream which entirely
conceaas the filing. This arrange
ment is equally good with Bayarian
cream or any OF the various forms OF
custard desserts.
A delicious combination of flavors is
obtained by cooking together equal
quantities OF crystalized ginger and
figs. both cut in small pieces Add
twice the quantity OF water and let
the mixture simmer until it is reduced
to soft pulp. A little sugar may be
added if desired. This makes a deli
cious sauce to serve with ice cream or
individual cases spread the top with
this fig and ginger mixture and deco
rate with whipped cream.
The favor of ginger is particularly
good in combination with marshmal-
lows. A novel sweet for the dinner
table is made by cutting marshmal-
lows ia halves crosswise and inserting
in the center of each cut a wedge
shaped piece of crystalized ginger.
Place in circles on fiat bonbon plate.
Small cakes covered with white icing
can be decorated in similar style.
A refreshing ginger ale punch is
a little out of the ordinary, as it calls
for bunch Of bruised mint and the
juice of five lemons and two oranges
to three pints of ginger ale. Sweeten
lemon and orange and use some mint
leaves busted with powdered ginger as
a garnish

DISTINGUISHING Hint.

Cleaning saucepan In which milk
has been boiled is often a troublesome
task. A simple method is TO quickly
replace the lid after pouring out the
boiling milk so that the steam will
not have time to escape and allow the
saucepan to cool before taking the lid
of again. Then put the pan in cold
water to soak; afterward it can be
washed easily and quickly without the
bother Of scraping.
