Called Him Down.

AT social affair the other night the
conversation turned to justifiable re-
monstrances, when Congressman Frank
b. Willis of Ohio was reminded of the
rebuke administered by pretty girl
named Marie.
One afternoon some time ago Marie
called on her dearest girl chum, and
soon the two fairies were deep in the
details of the gowns and things seen
at reception the evening before.
"And do you know, Alice" conf
dentially murmured Marie, when the
subject reverted to the guests, "Harry
had the nerve to kiss me on the fore
head"

horrlfied rejoinder of Alice. III suppose

done he II do it.o

his wife as a courtier waits on queen,
the neighbors say.
Perhaps the reason is that his bride
weighs 200 pounds. Choate was nearly
lynched by the farmers Of Clay county
three years ago, and the fright also
may have tanned his disposition. A di.

Steriiizlng Linen.

Sterilized linen is q very necessary
thing ia the sick room, especially 10 sur
gicsl cases. This may be impossible to
obtain in emergencies, hence II is we'll to
know how to prepare 1t at home.
Cut pieces of soft, old linen into strips
two to three inches wide, lap one end
over another aud sew across twice. Cut
off Rawlings, then roll into tight,
smooth roll just largo enough to slip In
to the mouth OF fruit jar. Fill jars
full of these rolls aud stuff the tops with
absorbent cotton. Set the jars on fiat
iron stand in deep kettle, aud fill with
cold water up to the necks. Bring al
most to the boil, keeping the water at
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit for three
hours. The water should not enter the
jars. the steam being sufficient for steril-
ization. Let stand until cool, remove
jars, screw on tops (also sterilized) and
set away. The linen may be used on
fresh wounds without danger Of infec.
ton, and may be kept, scaled, indefinite
ly.
Half.worn handkerchiefs and other
squares and Oblongs of linen should be
similarly sterilized and kept on hand for
use in poulticing, some as large As an
eight inch square, when folded once,
others smaller. Sew around three sides
on the machine, then when needed the
poultice mixture may be put inside and
the end tied.
