No spot "or stain can be removed from any kind of material unless there is a backing to absorb the fluid as it is rubbed in. Failing this, the cleans. ing agent necessarily spreads over the surface to which it is being applied, carrying the soil stain with it. Anot requisite is fresh cloths to rub with, for as soon as one is soiled it should be rejected, for a cleansin agent immediately 'loosens dirt, a everything in contact with it becomes soiled, and unless all rags affected are at once laid aside the original stain is spread, and the final condition is worse than the first. y As a background for this cleansing process, use a board about eight, inches wide and twelve inches long. This is not inconvenient to hold in one's lap; It should be covered with a thick flan- nel, like blanketing, and then padded with a piece of thick, 'strong cotton. Unbleached muslin is the best for this purpose, and there should be three or four of these cloths constantly in use. The flannel must be tacked on, but the top cover left so that it can be re- moved as fast as it is stained. The object of this board is to give a firm base on which to rub. - The covers act as absorbents. For all kinds of cleaning, except heavy cloth, such as men's garments, white flannel is the best thing with which to rub. The piece should be big enough to hold firmly and turn sev- eral times to get a fresh spot while using, For the cleanser a small flaring basin is most convenient, and if gasoline, etc., is employed only a few spoonfuls should be poured out ata time. As soon as it shows dirt it must be thrown away, the bowl wiped and fresh fluid poured in. With these ready for work the spot to be cleaned is stretched smoothly over the board, and the first cloth dipped into the bath. Instead of rub- '|bing from the centre of the spot out- ward, which spreads the stain, it is better to begin at the outer rim and work toward the middle. The cleaning cloth should be turned constantly to a fresh spot, and as soon as all has been used it must be laid aside and another one taken. The material being cleaned must be constantly moved on the board to a fresh place when applying the bath. One sees the reason for this, for the first wetting sends soil and moisture through to the background, and un- less the garment is moved from these spots the dirt which was rubbed out will be worked back into the fabric. When the unbleached cotton has been stained, the cover should be removed and a fresh one substituted. When beginning to rub dry, it is well to have a new undercover. li, even with the best effort, there is a ring left after the goods are dry, a' steaming kettle will remedy the trouble, always providing that the ring is not dirt, but simply the line of previous moisture. The ring may be held before the nose of a hoiling tea- kettle, changing the fabric until the entire line has been well steamed. {| Then, after drying in the sun, the ring will vanish. Naphtha and gasoline are among the best cleansing agents for silks and satin. FEther is excellent for velvet, rubbing it on lightly and quickly, For cloth soapy water in which there is ammonia is most efficacious. With this, however, care must be taken that all the soapy water is removed by a final brushing with hot water in which there is ammonia. A small scrub brush is best for this last kind of cleaning. The garment should be pressed after a large surface has been cleaned. NAPANEE NEWS. A Budget of Items From a Nearby Town.

In good health." The message was from the head- quarters of the Universities Mission to Central Africa, and related to Mr. Frank George, an architect, who had been mourned as dead for {wo months. Mr. George is at a place near Liko- ma, in West Africa, building a cathe dral for the mission. His mother, sis- ter, and five brothers live at Ealing. The mistake has a very sinfple ex- planation. On Sept. 11 Dr. Trower, the Bishop of Nyassaland, who is in England, received a cable from Hugh- enden, Queensland, reading: "George died yesterday." Confusing Australia with Africa, he immediately uainted Mrs. George with the news of her son's death. It was not till the receipt of the telegram quoted above that the bishop re-read the cable and decided that it referred to his own brother George, whom he had not seen for thirty years. Mr. Frank George had been the sub- jeet of obituary appreciations in sev- eral papers, and the family received over 200 messages of condolence. Learned Men Honored.

Mrs: George Cornwallis West (for- merly Lady Randolph Churchill), whose Reminiscences constitufe one of the most interesting and notable books of the season, is one of the comparatively few society ladies who can boast of having been tattooed. Some years ago, when she was travel- ling in India, the idea of being tat- tooed was suggested to her by noticing the process on a sailor at the hands of & "British soldier. : She had the artist brought before her and then asked for some designs. He suggested a snake holding its tail in its mouth ~--the emblem of eternity. Lady Ran- dolph liked it, and afterwards had this design tattooed round her arm above the wrist.
