GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

When ironing table linen, iron with
the selvage and not across the grain.
To clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in warm water and salt.
The salt prevents the bamboo from
turning color.
Salt rubbed on tea cups will remove
tea stains, and discOloration on crock
cry or china will respond to the same
treatment
To clean collars apply benzne and
after an hour or more when the
grease has become softened, rub 1t or
remove with soapsuds.
A little clear coffee can be added to
starch for tan or cream materials,
and this is better than pure white
starch in many colored things
For black garments black starch is
sold that is quite satisfactory. White
starch is almost sure to give unsatis-
factory results on black material
Iron saucepans should be cleaned as
soon as possible after use and if any
thing greasy has been boiled in them
put in some soda and boil up.

SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS
African Slave Trade Was Once Open
ly Tolerated by the British
Government.

Slavery existed in nearly all Of the
English colonies from an early pc
riod until shortly before or soon af-
ter the Revolutionary war, and the
African slave trade was openly toll
Grated by the British government In
1855 there were 292, 900 African slaves
in the colonies, scattered from New
England to Georgia. 1t was not pro-
hihtted in Massachusetts until 1880,
nor in Vermont until 1777. The Unit
ed States census of 1910 showed 80
slaves in Connecticut, l0,S51 in New
Jersey, 1907 In New York. 795 In
Pennsylvania, and l0S In Rhode Is
land. Slavery was gradually abolished
in the northern states, but in 1920
there were still OF slaves In Connec-
icut, 1857 in New Jersey. 10OSS In
New York, 211 in Pennsylvania, and
As In Rhode Island, The census of
1850 showed the disappearance of sla-
very in all the northern states except
New Jersey, which still had surviv-
ing remnant of 236

Science has discovered that gun
fire affects the earth's surface much
as an earthquake. so II is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are being To-
Gated by the seismograph-the deli
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremors. An Austrian au-
thority on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis-
mograph can record the position OF
hostile artillery as well as the caliber
of the guns.
In fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops on
the Isonzo the tremors induced by the
heavy cannOnade were duly registered
by the apparatus. and the operator
was able to detect, by means of dia-
grams of artificial movements of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall of projec-
tiles and those caused by the recOil of
the guns. Moreover, the form OF the
tracings revealed to the practiced eye
the number as well as the caliber OF
the latter.-Popular Science Monthly.
