After trying any number of differ- ent ways of washing woolcns, in an effort to find one that would cleanse without shrinking them, the one here recommended has been used for several years with entire satis- faction; and as two members of our family wear allâ€"wool underwear the entire year, it has certainly been given a thorough trial. By adherâ€" ing to the simple rules here given, any grade of woolens can be cleansâ€" cd without shrinking but the rules are positively inviolable. Provide a generous allowance of hot soft water, white castile, ivory or other plure soap. and borax. .l-‘fave the washing and rinsing waters of the same degree of heat. Make a good s'u'ds for the first water, but on no consideration put soap on the soiled article itself. Have the waâ€" 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 them up and down, squeeze, and if lnecessary rub with the hands, but lnever on a wavs'h'boar'd. The water must be squeezed. not twisted out, consequently a wringer is better than the hands. Rinse through two waters, using a little ‘less borax and no soap, but allowâ€" ing the clothes to lie ten minutes in each, working, 'hcm up and down and squeezing. ' After wringing, pull into shape and ‘dry as quickly as possible, pull- :ing out at least twice during the proooss of drying. Woolens must 'never be hung in a hot sun, 1101' out of doors . in freezing Weather.

Mother Love Changes I-Ier 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 closely about her chill which follows rain when the east- wind is blowing. Her own dis~ comfort turned her thoughts upon human sufferingâ€"the futility of it all. She began to speculate upon the case before her with that indiff- erence 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, 1110 1‘0 I-Iemdache, toothache, backache orr‘ SN I an One Landlord Guilty of Murdering Forty-eight of His Guests. It is not difficult to understand the peculiar terror which stories of evil inns inspire. The condition of the man who falls into such a trap is a horrible one. He is alone, a stranger. It is night, and dangers are the more rcdoubtable that they move against him under a cloak of darkness. I sometimes think spent in an inn on the Spanish fron- of a night I 'tier, in a little seaside village surâ€" rounded by a thick pine forest, five or six years ago. I was accommo- dated with a bed in a large room in which another traveler was lying. He was talkative, as most southern Frenchmen are, and curious as to my business, circumstances, and fu- ture movements. I told him a story of my financial troubles which seems to me to have saved my life. He was restless' during the night and kept going to the window. I could not go to sleep while he was moving about. ‘In the end We both fell asleep. He had given me his name, a name with which a year or two later the whole of France was ringing. He was tried for a double murder perpetratâ€" ed under circumstances of peculiar atrocity,- and with such a motive of petty robbery that the opinion was he must have had long familiarity with crime. The murder for which he was convicted Was carried out to gain possession of £20, and people believed none but.a hardened crimâ€" inal would nerve himself to murder for gain so paltry. Such was my companion in a lone- ly inn, where my disappearance would have aroused neither curiosity nor suspicion. Ifow he would have disposed of me I could imagine from the crime for which he was convicted. He traveled with a large trunk. I sometimes think it was the one af- terwards seized at the cloakroom of a station on the Cherbourg line, containing the body of his latest victim. I think all that saved me from sepulture within it was the cunning with which I had concealed the fact I was in possession that night of a considerable sum. CUNNING» SAVES LIVES. It was with similar cunning. that my brother and myself avoided a like danger at Rotterdam. We were lads of 10 and 1‘34 respectively, on our way home to England from our school in Wiesbaden. As the ship did not start until the day following our arrival we had been obliged to pass the night in Rotterdam. A loafâ€" er conducted us to a miserable tav- ern in a slum off the Bompies, where we paid for the best room. As the time for retiring came our villainous looking 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 stcp on the staircase. Then we to keep 0‘”; the 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 were not molested. From what I have since heard of leading a little Child a few months this class of house in Rotterdam and old. Amsterdam, I have no doubt that The nurse’s mind lingered over the We had a narrow escapc_ 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 noatness of the place and by the aspect of the slight form on the bed. It seemed to her incredible that even life could have touched roughly‘ so tender and so young :1. 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 coughing away the little hope that she still held of a toâ€"morrow with, the tiny babe beside her? Yet per- haps earthly to-morrows were "not needed 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 pale curtain low, and the room grew dark upon the nurse’s sight once more. ____+__.__. MAKING THE BEST OF IT. Germany has built some of the finest, fastest vessels afloat, though she is not geographically a maritime country, and no other country is so la’tgely dependent on others for the raw materials which enter into the making of a. ship. I I a1- ' reputation l DEATH TRAPS IN FRANCE. France, too, is dotted with houses where murder and theft lurk behind the mask of treachery. In the forest of Chatenay, three miles from Ma- con, you may see the ruins of a church consecrated to St. John. “Not far from this,’ writes Raoul Glabert, “a scoundrel had built a house for the accommodation of travelers. In this house he murder- ed all who came to. lodge. The men- ster used the flesh- of his victims for nourishment. “A man came there with his wife and asked shelter. Having rested, his wife, prying into a closet, disâ€" covered a heap of human remains. At this the travelers grew pale, and made for the road. The innkeeper tried to stop them, but terror lent speed, so they were able to escape to the town, where they informed Prince Othon of the discovery. ~ A great number of men set out, the monster was found in his den, and no less than fortyâ€"eight human heads were discovered, remains of travel- ers whom he had murdered and deâ€" voured. He was dragged back to y town, tied to a. beam in a. cellar, and| burned to death. “I myself," says Clabert, present at his execution." From other chronicles of this period cannibalism seems to have been looked upon by innkeepers as a perquisite of their profession. This story is ‘in its way more horrible than Hamilton Aides fiction, for in his evil inn only the teeth and hair of the victims were coveted by the two .sisters of Cologne. VERITABLE DEATH TRAP. The French inn of most sinster is still mountain pass in Auvergnc. This is known to history as the Murder- ers’ inn. The building was offered for sale some months ago, and tl“,as standing in a. l l l l l I . l 1â€"“You don’t, eh? Ceylon Tea is the finest Tea the world produces. and is sold only in lead packets.

In an Outhouse is the furnace in which bodies of victims Were dis- posed of. Hundreds of lonely trav- clers, belated in this inaccessible spot, have been plundered and mur- dered. The clew to the mysterious disap< pcarances of Englishmen in France, reported in London papers at the beginning of last century, could have been afforded by a discovery at Pisâ€" cot, on the road from Paris to Calais. In the old days of mail coaches, travelers from the north to the French capital arrived at Piscot towards nightfall. The house had had a bad reputation, but the innkecper was popular. - The inn 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 feet they came upon a skeleton, and having removed this they were digging into a graveyard. Remains of. eighteen bodies were found. Then the old people Of Pisâ€" cot began to talk of the evil stories in connection with the house. Grewsome was the find made a few months ago by workmen pulling down an .old house in a town in the Morb'ihan district of Brittany, where the flooring of the kitchen hid a charnel house of human remains. This house had been an inn. There is evidence that this kind of robbery still flourishes on the contin- 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 bedâ€" room, was raised; two masked men, armed with revolvers, entered and forced the traveler to hand over V20, his entire fortune. 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. WM“...â€" REFRESI‘IMENT. 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- son 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. ‘he store will be the better for the vacations taken by all connected therewith. The place will be the brighter for turn- ing the employes out to rub against new ideas and new opportunities. Th( customers may be the. better for getâ€" ting away and seeing how the stores in other towns are conducted. If the merchant is careful in piecing out the vacations he will find the store management is not embarrass- ed 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 enâ€" 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 cmployes 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- juvenatod but none can be used as easily and successfully. __#_._ TIâ€"IE WORTH OF WORK. No man is safe from the sufferings of over-warm weather. No escape has been found" from bodily discomfort where the . thermometer runs above ninety. The best way to reduce to a minimum the physical discomfort is to hustle for business and forgot the trying condition. If the weather is warm, think of something else and the heat will not be so offensive. If the perspiration starts out of the pores, think as little of it as possiâ€" ble, and think as much of something else. Work will prevent suffering from the heat, and a struggle for more business will give a better feel< ing to those who are associated with the. one who runs the business. No .day is so long as the idle day, and no one suffers so seriously from heat as the idler. The business man can therefore help his employ-"s and his customers to a butter appreciation of their comforts .by providing bargains to occupy the minds; of those whose minds might otherwise be unoccupi- ed. .5... .
