Setting Colors In Cotton

At the present time we hear much
about the poor quality of dyes used. 1t
is possible to set some coIors in wash
materials. An authority on the subject
says salt will set browns, blacks and
pinks. Definite proportions cannot he
named, but two cupfuls Of salt to one
gallon Of cold water will be enough i'll
most cases. IF this amount does not
stop the bleeding of the color add more
until this is accomplished.
One-half cupful Gf vinegar to one gal
Ion of water will be effective for set
ting blues.
One tablespoonful of sugar of lead to
one gallon of water should he used for
lavendcrS. The sugar Of lead should
be handled carefully, as it is deadly

In one of Victor Hugo's letters
to Baudelaire he dwells on his pas
sion for perfect punctuation. As
an instance of this Hugo mentions
that he made his printers furnish
him with eleven revises of the
proofs of 'La Legende des Siecles," ,"
the last ten of which were required
only in order that the commas
might be put in the right places
Thomas Campbell was equally fas-
Hdious in this respect. He once
walked six miles to his printers land
six miles back again) to have a
comma changed into q semicolOn. !.

Judge Bowman handed down
his decision Monday forenoon in
the case of the City of Greenville
versus Mrs. Cora L. Snort, max
ing the temporary injunction re-
Gently granted, permanent. Mrs.
Snort owns the old Barkalow pro-
perty on West Main street, which
she recently improved and re-
modelled, intending to construct
a verandah along it's front. How
ever, the dwelling stands less
than two feet back of her prop
erty line and her verandah would
necessarily extend over this and
occupy city property. She con-
tended in her suit that lnasmuch
as the city. sor1e eleven years
ago. narrowed the street proper,
she could build on this abandoned
ground as it thus was added to
the depth of her lot. Judge Bow
man ruled that this did not add
to the depth of the lot, that she
had never paid taxes on the
ground between her property line
and the street and that it, by
law, belonged to the city, hence
she had no right to occupy it in
any manner, shape or form.
While a verandah would add to
the beauty and comfort of this
property, yet, as situated, the
law says it must not be built as
contemplated.

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER
Still Time to Plant Certain Vegetables
in This Section.

There is still time to plant all the
garden crops in this section, even if
you have not Already plowed your
ground, say specialists of the L. s. de-
partment of agriculture. 1t is now, in
fact, the best safe planting period for
this region.
1t is time to plant peas, beets, pars-
1ips, and similar crops. II YOU start
at once there is still time to make two
paintings of peas at intervals of ten
days, and you will have peas for at
least a month after they come into
bearing. 1t is not too early to make
the first planting of string beans.
Beans, beets, Brussels sprouts, cab
bage, carrots, corn. kale, lettuce, leeks,
onions, parsnips, parsley, peas, pota-
toes. radishes, satisfy, spinach and
turnips should all be lanted as soon
as the ground can be made ready.
Tomato plants may be set in a few
days. Lima beans, both pole and
bush, should not be planted for about
ten days. The heat-loving plants,
such as peppers, egsplants, muskmel-
ons, watermelons, squash and cucum-
bers, should not be set or planted I'M
til the weather is warm and the soil
well warmed up. Planting NAV be
done on light, warm soils at least a
week sooner than on heavy soils in
frosty pockets hence the gardener
must be guided in making paintings
by the location and character of his
soil.

MOTHERS DAY SERMoN
AT uNIvERsALIsT CHURCH
Mother 10 Entitled TO the Greatest
Love and Honor, Says Rev. J. =.
Cobb.

In commemoration of Mothers day,
Rev. Joseph +. Cobb, pastor OF the
Church of the GOOD Shepherd. spoke
very interestingly on the topic, Our
Debt to the Mothers, at the morning
service on Sunday. In part Rev. Mr..
Cobb spoke as follows:
Today is the anniversary of the day
when the people OF this land are ASK
cd to give some thought of their moth =
er. If living to visit her IL possible
to let her know that she is loved and
revered. If not possible to visit her
and tell her of that regard, to write
her a loving letter and let her know
that her children are thinking OF her.
If she is not living amid the earth :
iy scenes, to show the reverence and
regard for her memory by some low
ing act.
Mother is entitled to the greatest
love and honor. 1t is agreed that the
virtues of a true mother are purity,
beauty, love, charity and faithfulness.
The men and women who have
reached the age OF maturity must
know, if they think at ali or observe
at all about the love and care of their
parents, how the mother heart follow
ed them from the hours of birth on
through all the days and years.
Note now that mother is the heart
of the home. 1t is wei said that the
father may be the Aead of the home
but the mother is the heart. The char
acter of the home depends more on
the influence of the mother than on
anything else.
Let US note again that the mother is
the hope of the nation. 1t was said
long ago the hand that rocks the
cradle is the hand that rocks the
world"
Once more we note that the mother
is in large measure the support of
the chudch..
We owe debt to mothers that can
never be fully paid The nation is en-
deavoring to make some return as
there is quite a general simultaneous
expression throughout the land OF the
love, and gratitude that men, women
and children as well as the nations
owe to their good mothers.
