'IOW TO WASH FLANNELS.

The Most Healthful Articles Leant Carefully Habdled. As the washing oi many flannels is tedious work, the same should be done very quickly, for woolens will shrink if allowed to lie about damp. To avoid delay it is best to prepare the soap the 1 iy 'jcforp.

low soap into shrndp 'vi'h p.n old kzrfo aim ijuu i«.o a saucepan contruuiiig a GUpr* occasionally, until the soap is dissolved then strain and set aside to get cold, when it will jelly. Take as of tills ii.i in icq aired to mitku t,jud lather, using plenty of warm water, which should not exceed 98 decrees F. Add a small quantity of household ammonia, and after having shaken the things to bo washed proceed to cleanse them in the soapy water, but do not rub dry soap on them. If they are much soiled, a second edition of the sop.p.v v:a-

ter will be necessary. Tuey siiount tnea bp rins^rl twice in warm water, just a littie cooler than that used with soap, and never put into quite cold water, as the difference in tlio temperature would shrink the wool.

To wring tho articles it is host t5 n-.o I a wringer, but if one is nut handy squeeze as much water as possible from it then roll tho article up in a large, dry cloth or bath towel place one end under foot and twist the roiled up cloth around and around until it is enrk-d v.p quite tightly then shako out tho cloth and the garment and repeat the oneration, only placing the other end of tho on on The garment must next be v/cll shaken and stretched out to its proper size and shape, for as it is pulled when wet so will it remain when dry. It should bo hung either in the sun or at a littlo distance from tho firo to dry, but not too near, or it will steam and shrink. An occasional shake during the drying will help to raise the wool and make it soft. It is best not to iron any fabrics of this description, as this tends to make them close. They may bo smoothed with a cool iron. Whoever washes either winter or summer flannels by this method will find them always soft, fluffy, light and large enough.

How to Kid Trunks and Cupboards of Moths. It frequently happens that mollis are discovered in the middle of the summer in trunks or closets suppled to have been so impregnated v.iih preventives that their entranco would have bo .impossible. They hide i:: the crevice*.- A simple and effective plan is to heat stove lids or an iron shovel red hoi pour vinegar upon the ir. and lei tho fumes peuetrato the crack. which eouid not bo reached with a \vder gjn. Moths are particularly fond ci" new plaster, and tho settling of the walla of new houses affords them numberless hiding placcs which cannot well be reached except by fumigation. Burning sulphur is excellent for ridding walls of any sort of vermin, but tho fumes of this are objectionable to many, mid ihey do not pass off so quickly as those of vinegar.

How to Tell a Woman's Ago. First tell her to put down tho number of the month in which she was born, then to multiply it by 2, then add 5, multiply by 50, then to add her f»go, then to subtract Next have her add 115 and then tell the total amount left. In this grand total tho two figures to the right will tell you her age and tho other tho month of her birth. For example, if the amount is 822, she is 22 years old and was born in August, the eighth month.

How to Detect Flaws In Iron or Steel. An apparatus for discovering internal flaws in iron and steel is described in Industries and Iron. It is elcctric «l and consists of a small pneumatic tapper worked by the hand, with which tho sample of steel or iron is tapped all over. Willi the tapper is connected a telephone with a microphone interposed in the circuit. One operator is required to apply the tapper and tho other to listen through the telephone to the sounds produced. Both are in electrical communication and in separate apartments, so that the direct sounds of the taps may not interrupt the listener, whose duty it is to detect flaws. In applying the system one operator places th6 telephone to his ear, and while the sounds produced by the taps are normal he does nothinrr. Dire'-tly p. fou^d, which is distinguishable i'rom the normal sound, is heard he signals for the spot to be marked, and by this means is able not only to detect a" fiaw, but to fix its locality.

How to Fill Up Floor Cracks. One pound of flour, 3 quarts of water and a teaspoonful of alum, cooked well together into a paste.

Tho paper should bo stirred until it iSaTl in a pulp and tho mass is so thick that it is difficult to stir longer. Apply it to the cracks after freshly cleaning tho floor and force it in, smoothing it off even with the surfaco. Leave it to dry thoroughly, when it can be painted as though it wero

How to Use Beef Essence.

To make soup in the old way a certain quantity of fresh meat and soup bono or scraps are put on tho firo with so much water, simmered three to fivo hours, flavorod and seasoned with salt and pepper, and any desired ingredients aro then add*ed. If all lean meat, is used and no bones, tho soup certainly contains nourishment, but if a soup bono only is used more or hiss gelatinous matter or glue, containing no nourishment, is cooked out of the bono. In using extract of beef a certain quantity is dissolved in cold or boiling water, pepper, salt a'r.d a few vegetables added r.nd foiled 10 to 15 minutes, tlio result being more gratifying in regawl to flavor ami sneiii?ih than soup made at

The Old Hooka.

Drop in tho past. I peer and see A child upon the nursfery floor, Holding a book upon his knee,

Who asks, like Oliver, for more. The number of his years is four, And yet in letters hath he skill.

How deep he dives in fairy lore! The books I loved, I love them still.

One gilt the fairies gave me—throe They commonly bestowed of yore— The love of tjooks, the golden key

That opens the enchanted door. Behind it- Bluebeard lurks, and o'er And o'er doth .Tack his giants kill,

And there is Aladdin's store. The books 1 loved, I love them st'll.

Sweethearts Always.

If sweethearts were weethearts always, Whether as maid or wife, No drop wotild be half as pleasant

In the mingled draft of life.

But the sweetheart has smiles and blushes When the wife has frowns and sighs. And the wives have a wrathful glitter

For the gldw of tho sweetheart's eyes.

If lovers were lovers ulwayB, The same to sweetheart and wife, Who would change for futuro of Edon.

The joys of this checkered life?

But husbands grow grave and silent, Aud cares on the anxious brow Oft replace the sunshine that perished

With the words of the marriage vow.

Happy is he whose sweetheart Is wife and sweetheart still Whose voice, as dl' old, can charm

Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill

Who has plucked the rose to find ever Its beauty aiid fragrahce increase' As the flush of passion is mcllofred

In love's unmeasured peace,'

Who sties in the stop a lightness Who nnds lh the form ot grace Whti reads an unaltered brightness

In the witiihery of the face,

Undimnied and unchanged. Ah, happy Is ho crowned with such life, Who drinks the' wife, pledging the sweetheart,

And toasts in tho sweetheart the wife I '.j .nii.l O'CoiuieU.

The Good Man.

Thus, born alike, from virtue lirst began The difference that distinguished man from man. He claimed no title from descent of blood. But that which made him noble made him good.

Lady Iiosebery'a Necklace.

Some years ago an old Frenchwoman died in a poor part of Dublin, and her little effects were put up for auction. Among otiier odds and ends was a necklace of dirty looking green stones, which did not attract' much attention. However, a shrewd pair of Jews thought there might bo "money in it" and decided on purchasing, clubbing together £5 for the purpose.

On taking it to a well known jeweler he promptly offered £1,500, which suhi they refused, and sold tho necklace of purest emeralds for £7,000 in Loudon, where Lord JRosebety on his marriage purchased it for something like £20,000.

The old Frenchwoman's mother had boeii attached to tho court of France, and tho emeralds had once formed part of the crown jewels. —London Answers.

POLISH UP THE TOWN.

It Doesn't Cost Much to Keep It Spick, Span and Shining. No one thing will give a visitor or a prospective investor such a favorable impression of a town or city as the virtue next to godliness—cleanliness. Merchants have long since learned that it iss the clean store that is most inviting to the purchaser, and we all appreciate a| cloan home. Tho same principle applies® in regard to public buildings, sidewalks, lawns, streets and alleys. Our schools, of course, should be kept clean, and are as an example to the young, and to prevent tho lodgment and propagation fT disease of any kind tlr rleys ought to receive more ireful attention. Too often the latter especially are made the receptacle of all kinds of filth that in warm weather especially offends the nostrils and spreads infection broadcast. In such weather as we are having now the nuisance is not so apparent, but is equally dangerous. Let our streets and alleys bo kept cloan and free from rubbish of any kind.

This winter there must of necessity be a deal of mud and slush on all our sidewalks, but the exceedingly unpleasant effects of it may be to a very large extent overcome if each householder will exercise a little care in keeping the walk in front of his house properly cleaned up, and instead of a necessary walk about town being a cause of regret it will be a, pleasure to get about. Thereby sociability Will be 'promoted, and those who come among us will have cause to bo charmed with our progressive ideas.

As was said, there is nothing that gives more agreeable first impressions of a city or town than the cleanliness of its streets, stored and public places. It may draw to us many inhabitants and largo investments.

Sidewalks and Shade Trees. The best treatment of sidewalks along which it is desirable to plant shade trees consists" of 4 narrow stone or concrete footway in the center of tlio space allotted for sidewalk purposes, with a border of greensward on either sid in the outer one wbi. fi row of trees can be planted with a perfect assurance that the rains will reach and nourish the roots. This space of open soil also affords the opportunity for fertilizing tho tree roots when it may bo found nocessary and renders the successful cultivation of shade trees entirely possible. Of course this plan could not be adopted along a crowded business stroet, nor are shade trees desirable in front of stores and warehouses at which goods must bo received and dispatched.—Philadelphia Times.
