It is a'great whitcner, as well as a dirt remover. Stains like iron rust, very difficult to remo'.e, ..are caused by the chemical ingredients of inferior blue mixing .with tho starch during ' the process of laundering, and producing an iodide. Moral: Prepare bluing at home from good materials. Equal parts of ammonia and spirits of turpentine will remove paint from clothing no matter how, hard and dry it lias become. . Saturate the spot, then wash with soap suds and rinse. To'take stains out of bedticking, (r-pioad a. paste of \"soft soap and starch on the spots. When dry, scrape off and 'wash with a damp sponge. Tn washing a chamois skin vest or chest protector, put a little pinch of soda in warm water, use soap ns'usual. Thc soda vents it from \"becoming still. ' Black sateen, or woolen, or black,,or 'black and white mourn- 'm-r wash goods, should always, if -' starched, be ironed lirst on \"the ' wrong side, the right side down on a black' cotton ironing sheet (a breadth of old black' calico or ' well washed cambric will do).

Tf too wet when'ironed,, thc starch may stick. . It is much better to cold starch goods over night. , 1\/ a gloss on thc right side is desired, a.s should, be'on sateen, when the whole garment has been ironed on the wrong side, turn on the right side and iron the, dry garment rapidly with a rather hot iron. This will give it just- the kind ofipolish it had when new. , Many prefer for fine muslins, dimities,- and dark cambrics, gum arabic ' instead of starch. Wash and dry the' garment.' Dissolve one ounce of gum arabic in a'Jittle cold water, then pour on just enough hot water ; as is needed to wet the dress. For1 shirt waists use about one quart to one ounce of gum arabic. ,'For a .large, dress, use two ounces of thc gum arabic. ' v *\",>,.. .

Both contain an albuminous admixture \" which increases in hardness and indigcf.tibil- ity \\vhcn exposed to too high a temperature for tod long a period; in other words, both must be cooked quickly, if cooked at all, or their most valuable properties arc irrecoverably lost.

Mason says that at thc close of l'JOO there were in Germany 81) manufactories of fuel briquettes, some of which annually produce more than 100,000 tons each. The processes employed in Fiance and Germany have long'passed the experimental' stage' and bo.-- conic a'standard commercial industry. \"If Anrerjcans,\" says Mr. .Mason, \"are really interested in the subject there is no need that, they should lisk^any large sums ol money in uncertain experiments. They have only to study thc machinery and methods employed in \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd European countries, compare their crude materials with, thohe found and used here, and they can thus start at the point of technical knowledge which Europeans have readied after many ye;u s of experience. \"There are experienced engineers and a-do\/.cn manufacturers .of briquette making machinery who would gladly co-operate in these tests, and would yVU!-:..\\rJ>SII MACHINERY adapted to working, the material thus. . technically oelined., Upon . a basis of such tests, plans ynd estimates ~-toiild be.obtained I'or the erection of plants with specified daily capacity.\" Mr. Mason gives the names and addresses of a number of German firms engaged in the business.

Change's in milling processes are responsible for appendicitis, according to a physician who has been in the practice of medicine for fifty years* and who has observed the spread of the disease. This physician, Dr. \\r II. C. Howard of Champaign, III. 'asserts that until the trade demand for exceedingly white flour changed the methods of grinding wheat there was no appendicitis. To prove this assertion the physician points to thc fact that where coarse breads are used thc- disease is, unknown, but that as soon as the fine breadstuff!* are introduced appendicitis comes along as a sequence. By this reasoning it is shown that' the people of agricultural communities who secured their (lour from tlie small mills did not have thc disease until the small mills were crowded out by the larger ones and fine white Hour,supplanted thc coarse. Then the negroes of the fouth so long as they ate corn bread were free from the disease, but when tlie new process flour began to be used the disease came among them. The same results attended thc departure of thc German folks from their coarse bread 'to the refined (lour. DISEASE.

A strange story comes from the little town of Candete, in the' southeast of Spain. {The people of thc district have been complaining for \\ears past-that they are over-taxed. Lately they determined to pay no more taxes to the Government, and when they heard that' the tax collectors were about to visit tlie plaeo they formed a procession to the pub-, lie square, headed by the mayor, and there publicly burnt all the tax papers. When the collectors arrived they were driven ofT with sticks and stones. But such lawlessness could not be left unpunished. A week or two later a battalion,of cavalry descended suddenly upon tiie town and arrested , every grown man in tho place. They were only released upon 'paying the taxes and the costs of the proceedings, besides an indemnity to the injured tax gatherers. ' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Candete is not the oniy town whose inhabitants have got into 1 trouble over the - question of taxes*.\" No fewer than 8,000 warrants havo just been issued in the French Department of the Eos-tern Pyrcncs, and that number of householders have been arrestee!. These includo the heads of almost'every'family in five different townships. .This wholesale legal action is the direct ' result of the present low price of wine. The arrested men are all wine growers, who have refused to pay theii' taxes as a protest against a refusal ' on the'part'of the Government to give them financial assistance. , A SIBERIAN TOWN- ' I ih the district of Smcinsk, possessing the extraordinary name of Schc- nionajcws-koje, was' temporarily depopulated , two years' ago.

The people of the town in\" question becamo careless in this respect. They were warned several times, but still nothing was'done.

A few days later a force of soldiers arrested , 1,400 of , the inhabitants.,' These were at once set to, work uj> on the roads in gangs, and fed on \"bread and water for some weeks until the existing stale of things was remedied.
