"Of cours9 we know that a moderate
degree of heat not only does not destroy
the germs of disease, but is favorable to
their growth, and it appears to me that
flannels worn from month to month,
sometimes from season to season, with
only warm baths between wearing,
must, in the nature of things, accumu
late impurities. Suppose there is an ill
ness or exposure to disease, how could
there be more favorable conditions for
its continuance than the flannels as at
present managed? Of course, I don't ex
pect all the world to follow my example,
nor do I think it will affect the traffic in
wool goods. I only know 1 will have

Boiling Clothes with Kerosene.
For a boilerful of clothes use tw
thirds of a cake of soap and four table
spoon fnls of kerosene. Lessen the quan
tity both of soap and kerosene for a
small washing. Put cold rain water
kerosene cannot be nsed with any but
rain water in the boiler, to the depth
of three or four inches; shave np the
soap, measure the kerosene, and add
both to the water while it is cold. Boil
together thoroughly, watching that it
does not foam over on the stove. Then
add enough cold water to boil the clothes
in and put them in the best white ones
while the water is cold. Bring to a
boil, and boil steadily for ten minutes.
Take out into a tub of cold rain water
and suds.
Rinse and blue in still other waters.
There will be no rubbing, except to get
the sudf out, for the dirt has all disap
peared. Add to the suds in tlse boiler a
little more soap and kerosene if there
are many towels, etc., for the next batch.
After it boils well cool a little with cold
water, and put in the dirtiest of the
white clothes. These will boil during
the sudsing and rinsing of the first lot.
Wash the colored clothes in the sudsing
water hy hand, or with a machine if pre
ferred. Flannels especially wash easier
for the kerosene in the suds, and there is
nothing about it to fade the most deli

knightly heroism of other days.
In one of the anterooms of General
Miles' offices in the Pullman building
sits a grim, young -old man wit h grizzled,
close cut hair, a lnw:i. luxuriant mus
tache, and hard bia e 1 'military shoul
ders. Mori-enger James 111. if you
please. A little chap in a blue sailor
suit, reefer and (jap complete, is perched
on his knee, said youth of seven being
tho son and heir i f General Miles, una
wearing wort Inly the patriotic name of
Sherman Miles.
There the little chv.p sat securely and
tugged at the old soldier's mustaches,
while a reporter put questions and got
answers.
"You want to hear the story of my
rider" continued the old scout. Then he
told the story of his epic ride, bearing
dispatches from General Terr to Gen
eral Crook. This was in lH?(i. Custer
had just been slain; it was absolutely
necessary to get the two generals in
tuueh. Terry was on tho Big Horn;
Crook was at the headwaters of the
Great Goose creek. In the tangled iu
terland the Indians swarmed. Bands of
reds were lurking here and there curled
about General Terry's camp. Scouts
had been sent out. One after another
drifted b.ick to camp; they had met In
dians; they had lost their horses in
swimming the Yellowstone.
June 9 Colonel Gibbons, of the Sev
enth infantry, posted a call for volun
teers to run the desperate race from the
Big Horn to the camp on the Great
Goose. There was a momentary hold
ing back. Then three men stepped for
ward and answered the calL
James Bell, private.
Benjamin F. Stewart, private.
Evans, private.
Evans is still in the service and has
won his stripes. He is stationed in the
west.
They expected to have Indian ponies,
but trfroved an impossibility. So at
5 o'clock in the afternoon they set off
mounted on cavalry horses. Each was
in full uniform: each of the three carried
an infantry rifle; no other arms were
worn. Captain Hamilton, of the Sec
ond cavalry, who is now in the recruit
ing service in New York, commanded
an escort that led the adventurous three
to the lines. By this time it had gone
dark, so the three chaps turned their
horses' heads up lull and journeyed on
like Dumas' three guardsmen.
"It was the meanest country ever
white man put foot on," explained Jim
Bell; "a mountainous, gullied, hill coun-1
try, with scrubby bushes and sinking
bogs. We had a watch horse ahead all
the time to try the ground, and far ahead
of him we sent one of the gang to keep
a weather eye out for Indians. The red
dogs were cringing in the bushes to right
and left, and lurking in the gulches and
the broken ground. There was no chance
for a fight. It was simply a case of
dodge and hedge all night."
So this night wore away, a scout
ahead piercing from the high peaks, the
other two following with the blunder
ing, jaded cavalry horses. The night
drifted by, and the next day there was
nothing of importance. No fire was
lighted. In those days and in those
places the raising of fire smoke might
have meant the raising of a scalp.
So the second night darkened down.
The three thought of camping for the
night at the Rosebud. It was after mid
night; the horses were "staked out;" the
three men fell asleep under the equine
feet. Of a sudden there was a stampede,
and the horses were out in the brush,
mad with terror.
Here the infantile General Sherman
Miles broke in, as he tugged at the old
soldier's mustaches:
"But didn't you sleep?"
"Not just then," Jim Bell laughed;
"we chased the horses."
"Indians," suggested young General
Miles.
"No, bear a bear had stampeded our
horses, and after we caught them we de
cided that sleep was a luxury. So we
rode on again."
Little Master Miles was grievonsly
disappointed that it was not Indians, but
finally agreed to accept bear. Then the
square shouldered scout went on:
"Three nights and two days, and the
last night was the worst of all. We
sighted a blue column of smoke spindling
up into the air. This was shortly after
midnight, when we caught the dawn
glimmer from the hills.
"Indians?
"Friends or foes?
"We lay there, with the horses thrown
and blindi olded, crouched in the grass.
The hours went by, but it seemed that
every hour was a generation long.
Should we succeed in our mission and
put the two armies in connection, or die
at the red and tortured stake?
"The hours crept on untrl the dawn
brightened and broadened. Five o'clock!
Then of a sadden we heard the bugles
blowing the falling in the roll call
and, thank God, the word from Terry
to Crook was delivered."
Now that was a good bit of work. Jim
Bell gave General Terry bis fast au
thentic news of the Custer massacre;
Jim Bell put Terry in touch with Crook;
Jim Bell ended the war.
You don't think much of it? The west
is waiting far the poet wlto shall sing
that ride. Chicago Trrtmoe.
When ho i home
Bomewhat en A-ith rosy. fj - rac,
and as reason tor not having his book
with him 6ays, "Two big boys pinioned
my arms and 'marched me home on
double quickstep. 1 couldn't carry my
bixjk and so it was lost," his fond and
judiciotiH mamma sus'iends all criticism
until aft'jr investigation. She knows
there is a grain of truth somewhere, and
expects to find it lodged at th bottom
of a pretty big well.
A note to the teacher elicits tho infor
mation that Clri'-lie's reader is in his desk,
and Charlie, with big, angelic eyes and
seraphic innocence says. "Sure enough,
I forgot to take it home; but you know
if I had it iuut have l-eu lost, liccauso
each !' held an arm."
The other day considerable pains were
taken to send him to tho circus. An
oliler brother kindly gave up a Saturday
afternoon on his bicycle to act as his
chaperon. Seats were secured in tho
best part of the house. Now Charlie had
never been to a circus, lie had, how
ever. s",.,i ccii iiderable circus literature
as displayed on imrders, and was familiar
with the beaut l fill i'airy in ballet attire
who rides three horses at once while she
drives a tandem with her left hand and
with her right fires off a gun on which
are jierched a happy family of cats, mice
and birds. 1 1-knew just how gracefully
the elephants could dance the german
and horses play seesaw.
Great enthusiasm was felt by tho
whole family regarding Charlie's intro
duction to that delight of every lxy's
heart, the circus. Papa on the eventful
morning was heard to wish that office
cares and duties would jiermit him to
live over again his youthful days by wit
nessing the impressions that would m
made on the virgin mind of his little
boy.
Our blase yonng American, however,
afforded an instructive and beautiful il
lustration of the development of tho
genus "boy" in a single generation. The
grand athletic tournament and the won
derful equestrian baboon failed to elicit
a single spark of enthusiasm. The per
formances of the clowns were beneath
his contempt.
During some marvelous bareback rid
ing acts he asked when the horses would
come out.
"They are out; don't you see them?"
said his brother.
"Yes, but when are they going to come
out of the ring? I don't care for this
part."
The trapeze performances and the bi
cycle riding met with a limited amount
of approval, although ho would "just at
lief see Hal ride his wheel," and "the fel
lows at the gymnasium were pretty good
on the trajieze." While Rome was fall
ing he wanted to go home and play hop
scotch. When mamma questioned Irlm as to
what kind of a time he had, he said:
"Oh, the circus isn't as good as it used
to be."
"Why, Charlie," said mamma, "yon
never were at a circus Ijefore."
"Is that so?" said Master Charlie; "I
thought 1 had been every year from four
years up." New York Herald.
Two Kind of Tarantulas.
It is a fact not generally known that
there are two varieties of tarantulas in
Arizona and New Mexico. This prob
ably accounts for the conflicting reports
about the deadly nature of the tarantula,
poison. The so-called Texas tarantula
is by no means an agreeable bedfellow,
but his bite is by no means fatal. The
venomous Texan tarantula, in spite of
all discussions to the contrary, does build
and live in the trapdoor spider nest.
There seems to be a current idea that the
trapdoor spider is harmless, which is
certainly erroneous. It uses no web nest,
easily capturing its prey by extraordi
nary springs.
Those who have seen this arachnidan
by daylight can have little idea of its
power and fleetness. During the day it
moves slowly and clumsily in dazzling
light, but when darkness comes it
move with ease and certainty. Credifrn
accounts have appeared stating that the
tarantula can leap sixteen feet. Re
peated statements have credited it with
leaps of three feet or more. In the year
1870, or near that date, three men dis
turbed several tarantula nests in San
Diego. They were immediately attacked
by the huge spiders and had to run for
their lives, taking refuge in the waters
of the bay. Florence Companion.
Do Deer Ever Weep?
In most species of deer a hollow which
is known to scientists as the lachrymal
sinus, or tear pit, is found. It is a cav
ity beneath each eye, capable of beings
opened at pleasure, in which a waxy sub- V
stance of a peculiar disagreeable odor is
secreted. This pit is sometimes very
small, but often of considerable size.
Poets speak of the deer weeping, bat it
has not been shown this is not by poetic
license solely. In the case of the wound
ed stag, which the contemplative Jacques
watched and moralized upon, it is said:
The big round tears
Coorsed one another down his innocent nose
In piteous chase.
But this is Shakespeare's poetical in
terpretation of the appearance presented
by the motion of the glistening edges of
the folds of skin which inclose- the bo
called "tear pits." These cavities are
very marked in species of deer found in
Asia and the islandsof the Indian ocean,
and in the common deer of America and
Europe. In some varieties in South
America and northern Asia they are less
developed. St. Lours Republic.
