Impromptu War Minister

About 1744 Great Britain was at
war with Spain and France. Among
the American colonies Pennsylvania
was the only one that was absolutely
defenseless. The Quaker Assembly
refused to pass a militia law, and
there was no reason why the enemies
of the mother country could not sail
up the Delaware, land force and
devastate the commonwealth, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Benjamin Franklin was just COM
ing into public life. He had changed
the old night lehman system into
a regulated police force, formed vol
unteer fire brigade. founded a public
library and established the Philo-
sophical Society. He was determined
that Pennsylvania should no longer
be defenseless-th doctrine of non
resistance to the contrary notwith-
standing. After publishing a PAM
phlet entitled plain Truth" he called
a meeting of the younger citizens of
Phi adelphia, harangued them on the
impending obliteration Of the city by
the Spaniards and French, called for
volunteers and then and there raised
a regiment of 1,200 men. Within a

Training of Children

In the training Of a child II ie OF
the first Importance that friction
should be avoided. This means the
condemnation on the part Of mother
or nurse Of 'nagging'' and the stern
repression of arguing on the part Of
the child. It is a golden rule TO give
as few commands as possible and 70
give what are necessarily in a manner
which makes them acceptable; but al
the same time any command given
must be obeyed, and. should friction
occur, It Is the grown-up WHO mus
win from the very beginning.
This will never be the case whert
perpetual Interference on the part OF
the grown-up In charge takes place.
for multiplicity of directions and
orders, even If not contradictory fas
they usually are), is bewildering, and
quickly results in a child OF any IN
telligence finding some means of CIR
eumventing authority; but the solid
value of obedience insisted upon IA
definite cases cannot be exaggerated.
And the sooner this insistence is
made the better. while the more IN
varying It is is equally the more ad
vantageOus.

Cleaning Oriental Rugs

Dear Margery Doom:
Kindly tell me how Oriental rugs
may be cleaned? They are not very
dirty, but I would like to brighten
them before Christmas, as am
going TO have a lot OF company
then. Thanking you,
MRS. K. II.
All genuine Oriental rugs and
many Of domestic make can be
washed with soap and water, I am
informed
The method most successful is 10
take thick suds and apply it with
q heavy cloth, wrung almost dry in
il.
The cloth should be rubbed in the
direction of the nap Of the rug, and
after all grease spots and other dirt
have disappeared the whole surface
Of the rug should be sponged until
all trace of soap is gone with 81
cloth wrung out Of clear water
The rug must be left to dry where
II is cleaned, fat on the floor

Yelling Novelties

The Dry Goods Economist says that
some of the exclusive shops are show
ing extreme draped effects that are
produced by gathering the veil around
the hat so that Il falls In voluminous
ripples.
This mode is excellent IN that It
requires three or four times as much
yelling as is demanded for other ar
rangements.
Frequently the effect Of extreme
fulness Is obtained by means of rib
bon binding in the form Of border.
Ribbon edges, alone or IN combina-
ton with a woven or dotted design,
arranged in border effect, are smart.
In some instances the vet Is shaped
80 that II will fall in deep point in
the front: again, 1t Is so arranged
that there viii be point both front
and back, leaving the shoulders clear.
Among the ultra types is filet
yelling with a border Of fur. This is
arranged in two different ways; IN
the one SO that it can be worn
snapped tightly about the throat; in
the other. in the regular loose flowing
way.

very brief period adjacent places
contributed their quota, and Pennsyl-
vania had an organized, drilled and
accountered militia, 10000 strong.
When 1t came to providing artillery
Franklin's ingenuity again suff1ced.
BY means of lottery enough money
was raised to construct fortitications
and purchase cannon. some from Bos-
ton and some from England. These
were deemed insufficient. Franklin
headed a committee to wait upon
Governor Clinton and borrow addi-
tional guns Clinton refused to lend,
but the same night at dinner he so
softened by degrees under the influ-
ence of Madeira that with each
bumper he offered Pennsylvania the
loan of more and more artillery, until
his proffer reached eighteen mounted
cannon, which duly arrived In this
city.
That was 40 years ago. Ten thou
sand men, supported by artillery, was
not considered more than adequate
for the defense of the sparsely popu-
lated commonwealth. Man for man
by hardness and resourcefulness, the
rank and file must have been much
above the level of the paid soldiery
OF Europe. as the subsequent Revolu-
tionary war amply demonstrated
