Before Being Stored They Should Be

Thoroughly Cleaned.
In the fall, when trunks are emptied
Of the heavier winter garments, there
Is plenty of room for the summer
clothing Just discarded Bedroom clos
cts are generally only large enough to
hold those garments which are used
constantly, and so the lawns and dimi-
ties must be packed away until the
following season.
Garments should not be laid away
slightly soiled, nor should they remain
ironed and starched. A soiled article
Is surely not cleanly, and it is apt TO
fall into holes, and, on the other hand,
starched piece that will not be used
for some time Is apt to turn yellow
and so will have to be bleached as
well as washed before next seasons
wear
The most practical way is to have
all such clothes thoroughly and care
fully washed and to lay them away
when perfectly dry, unironed and I'M
starched. Curtains should also be
treated in the same way, and in the
fall they should be mended and fresh
ly laundered before being hung

I SOME SUGGESTIONS
/ AS TO MAKING TEA.

Various methods have been devised
for lifting the leaves in the teapot
from the water after the tea is brewed.
The tea ball is not very successful.
IL economy Is considered, for unless it
is very large 1t confines the leaves so
that they do not unroll entirely. With
most tea balls and perforated tea max
ing spoons the perforations are so
large as to allow fine teas to escape
and to make a strainer necessary.
When the Russian samoyar is used
To heat the water strainer Is apt to
be used over the cup. the water merely
dripping through once. This requires
twice the amount Of tea that is or
dinarily needed.
There are teapots with big tea bail
that swings from a chain attached to
the knob of the cover. AS soon as the
tea is brewed this ball may be lifted
above the liquor and caught high and
dry. These pots come in all sizes and
all metals and In great variety OF
shapes, from the old time teapot style
to the modern samovar and urn
A tea making spoon is convenience
if a fresh individual cup is needed fol

Hidden Wealth
=. : + = ! -. = : : + = = + + + + as + ~.

Sir Hugh Verne sat In the home OF
his forefatbers looking about him hope
lessly. On the morrow the place was
to be sold to pay debts that had been
accommodating for q century. The pres
ent owner was to become of age on
the very day of the sale. To add to
his distress he loved younger daugh-
ter of Lord Montague, a neighboring
landowner.
Verne was sitting in a room that had
been occupied ever since the house was
built three centuries before for IL
brary. On one side Of a large bay
window stood q revolving geographical
globe; opposite Ii statue of Sir
Hugh Verne who had been dead $50
wears. He had been miserly. and IN
der his regime the estate had increased
in value, but at his death the funds he
was supposed to have accumulated did
not appear. He had during his later
days erected the statue of himself in
his library, directing that no other
monument TO his memory be placed
The forefnger Of the right hand of the
statue pointed directly TO the globe.
One of his descendants, thinking that
the finger indicated place where some
of his missing wealth was hidden, had
had the globe taken apart; but, finding
nothing of value, it had been restored.
The present Sir Hugh's father, Sir
Thomas Verne, had opened the wall
back of the globe at a point in line with
the finger. but he, too, had been dis.
appointed. He had found the estate
impoverished by his predecessor and
had brooded over the misfortune he
saw. surely coming for his son. From
the sons beyhood he had heard his
father debating as to the meaning Of
the pointing finger and believed he had
some reason for surmising that it re
ferred to hidden money.
| Sir Hugh sat gloomily looking at the
statue. 1t was an hour before noon
and the day was the 2ist OF September
I Neither the hour nor the date made
any impression on the young baron
except that the date was present In his
mind as the dag previous to the sale
Nevertheless an idea occurred to him
an idea which came down through
thousands Of years. He had read that

built TO entomb a king an inclined pas

the sun was shining in through the bay
window upon the statue. The SHADOW
of the index finger lay upon the wall
midway between the ceiling and the
floor. The young man noticed the
shadow and kept his eye upon It as 1t
slowly sank toward the floor. Then
suddenly the bell on the town clock
struck the hour of noon
Rising. he seized an antique dagger
hanging from q mantel and hacked @
cross upon the point covered by tho
shadow of the index finger.
That afternoon he darkened the r0Ogns
locked the doors and. with set Of na-

wall where he had carved the cross.

and behind it was stone differing
from its neighbors in its shape, which
was an octagon. On the stone from
each of the right angles had been cut
cross lines, and their intersection lay

The vault contained Just 10000 seT-
