WASHING WOOLIQ. ‘91. After trying any number of rlillerâ€" Cli‘l ways of washing wotilens, in on elTort to find one that would cleanse without shrinking them, the cue here recommended has been used ifor several years with entire satisâ€" Ifaction; and as two membcrs of our family wear all-wool underwear tl‘e lentire year, it has certainly been :given a thorough trial. By adher- ing to the simple rules here given. ,any grade of woolens can be cleansâ€" ed without shrinking but the rules {are positively inviolable. Provide a generous allowance of b'o’t soft water. white castile. ivory or other plure soap. and borax. lluve the washing and rinsing waters of the same degree of heat. Make a [good sni-tls for the first water. but on no consideration put soap on the soiled ar-ticle itself. Have. the “aâ€" ter as hot as the hands can bear :comfortably, and allow one level teaâ€" spoonful of borax for every gallon |of water; immerse the clothes and ,allow them to stand ten or fifteen minutes before washing; then work ithem up and down, squeoie. and if necessary rub with the hands, but ‘never on a wasfli'board. The water must be squcc'led,‘ not twisted out. consequently a wringer is better than the hands. Rinse through two waters. using a little less borax and no soap, but allow- |ing the clothes to lie ten minutes in leach, working, tlcm up and down and squcezing. After wringing," pull into shape and dry as quickly as possible, pull- iing out at least twice during the lprocess of drying. Woolens must ‘never be hung in a hot sun. nor out {of doors in freezing Weather. Tin ‘winter, we dry ours on clothesvbars. standing tl‘e latter over a furnace register or lzt‘l‘l' the kitchen range. To my thinkizyv. woolens have a ifresher, sweeter oior without ironâ€" ing. Smooth with the hands land fold neatly. Never put woolen blankets in the general waslh. Choose a dull, windy day if possible, and wash as above. The colored borders of blankets will sometimes fade in spite of every precaution, but there is no excuse but ignorance or carelessness for their shrinking. Two persons are needed properly to pull a blanket into shape. Be careful not to stint/:11 it when hanging over the line, and to Dull into shape occa- sionally during the process of dry- ing.

Mother Love'Changes Her Opinion of her Calling. The visiting nurse set out on her errand of mercy in a rebellious mood. This nursing was a wretched business. There was nothing in it but work, workâ€"always work, how- ever much the spirit might flag and the body grow weary. That there was poetry in helpfulness was a cream of the imagination. The woman drew her cloak closdy about. her chill which follows east wind is blowing. more to keep out the rain when the Her own (lisâ€" comfort turned her thoughts upon human sufferingâ€"the futility of it all. She began to speculate upon the case before her with that ind-iffâ€" Iereuce which comes from living too close to the world of pain. The apâ€" plication for aid had said that a young woman was dying, destitute. leaving a little child a few months old. The nurse’s mind lingered over the situation. Little children always moved her to tenderness, and she could not keep from wondering about this helpless little one who was soon to be left alone. And the motherâ€" how did it seem to her? The nurse herself had once been happy holding a little child close in her arms. She lived the joy over again and sighed in her lonely walk. In softened mood the. nurse came into her patient's quiet room. In her new sympathy she was touched by the plain neatness of the place and by the aspect of the slight form on the bed. _ It. Svl'lllifitl to her incredible that even life. could have touched roughly so tender and so young a thing. There must be some brute instinct in the vital force that moves the universe; how else could that frail creature lie on her 'bed of pain .nceded by such as she. Certainly it would seem from her expression that she found the present joy enough. Her eyes did not leave the baby's face. “It's strange,” she said, "do you know I‘m lonely, just a little. The little fellow seems so far away some- how just because I can put my arms about him." She fell back on the pillow white and mute. The future, her future. dropped its palp curtain low. and the room grew dark upon the nurse's sight once more. “+__,._ MAILING THE BEST OF IT. i Germany has built some of the illncsl, fastest vessels afloat. alâ€" lt-hough she is 'not geographically lnmrilime country, and no other lcountry is so latgely dependent on Iothers for the raw materials which enter into the making of a ship. ing from ivy is to wet a slit-e oft Be- ‘ Urbain street, . never , Coughing away the little hope that she still held of a toâ€"morrow with, the tiny babe beside, her'.’ Yet per-. haps earthly tounorrows were. not {till I is 0 OPE TMURDER AND THEFT BEHIND IYIASK OF TREACHERY.

I think all that saved me from sepulture within it was the cunning with which T bad concealed the fact I was in possession that. night of a considerable sum. CUNNI NG SAYle LIVES. It was with similar cunning that ‘niy brother and myst avoided a like danger at Rotterdam. We were lads of 10 and 123. i‘espcctivcly, on our way home to England from our school in \l’iesbadnn. As the ship did not start until the day following our arrival we had been obliged to pass the. night. in Rotterdam. A loaf- er conducted us to a miserable tavâ€" ern in a slum off the Bompjes, where we paid for the best room. As the time for retiring came our villainous looking,r landlord conducted us to a dark closet and told us to sleep there. “We have fallen into a trap,” I said to my brother, and so it seemed when later we heard a stealâ€" thy step on the staircase. Then we began to talk in German, and the gist of our conversation was: What would become of us the next day if the money expected from our parents did not arrive? We colored the story of distress, and probably our being awake saved us instead of the tale overheard. We heard the step retreating, and remaining awake till morning we wore not molested. From what I have since. heard of this class of house in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, I have. no doubt that We had a narrow escape. DEATH 'l‘llAPS IN FRANCE. Il‘rancc, too, is dotted with houses ,where murder and theft lurk behind the mask of treachery. In the forest of Chatenay, three miles from Maâ€" con, you may see the ruins of a chu'l‘ch consecrated to St. John. "Not far from this." writes Raoul Glabert, scoundrel had built a house for the accommodation of travelers. In this house he murderâ€" ed all who came to lodge.

In the old days of mail coaches, travelers from the north to the li‘rench capital arrived at I’lscot towards nightfall. The house had had a bad reputation, but the. inukeeper was popular. The ion was poorly supplied with water. and the landlord employed 'men to dig a well at the back of the. inn. When the diggers had got: down a few feel they canre upon a skeleton, and having removed this they were digging into a graveyard. Remains of eighteen bodics \vero found. Then the old people of l’isâ€" cot began to talk of the evil stories in connection with the house. (lruwsome wa; the liurl made a few months ago by workmen pulling -down on old house in a town in the Morbihan district of llrittany, Where tbe'llooring of the kitchen bid 1L charnel house. of human remains. This house had been an inn. There. is evidence that this kind of robbery still flourishes on the continâ€" ent. Only recently came the story of an itinerant druggist assailed in an inn near Clermont Ferrand. A trap door in the floor of his bed- ,room was raised: two masked men, armor] with revolvers, Ollierod and forced the traveler to hand over VLZH, his cntirc fortunc. The. man escaped. The servant at the inn had witnessed the landlady dividing the spoils and helped him to give infor- mation to the police. W“ RICFRESIIMENT. The proprietor who has been workâ€" ing hard for several months needs a rest. The employes who have. been working faithfully for a busy sea- lson need a rest. The people of the town and country surrounding who have been buying liberally need a rest. It is the rest season, the va- cation time of the year. The store will be the better for the vacations taken by all connected therewith. Thu place will be the brightor for turn- ing the employes out. to rub against new ideas and new opportunities. Tht customers may be the better for get- .ting :m ay and seeing how tho stores in other towns are conducted. 11 lthe merchant is careful in piecing out the vacations he. will find the store management is not embarrass- cd by the absence of the clerks and will be better equipped for larger business and better work when the vacationers come back. A trip to lakes, mountains. seashore or coun- try will get the musty ideas of the {old season out of the brain of the hard Worker and will put new en- ergy into each. Vacations pay. even if they are made at the expense of the establishment. They are. far more desirable since. the better class of employes are willing to pay their own expenses and welcome the. opâ€" portunity to get away if they want to go. Other ways may be devised by which the store force can be re- juvenated but none can be used a: easily and successfully. ____+_ TlTIS WORTH OI“ WORK.
