APRIL DAY.
Ho wllke our livet is April' day.
Alternate imilva and tears;
6d and joyful, dark and bright,
( licpe merged In trembling feara.
Wben rrtune smiles and friends are
ear
The way terms paved with flowers;
And April scarcely sheds a tear
Krom d-.wn to twiiight hours.
Hat when our purposes are crossed
We hardly lift our eyes,
When April's day, with gentle rain.
Bids sleeping Spring arise.
While hid behind the lowering clouds
The sunshine goes astray.
Till bursting fort hfrom sombre skies
It glorifies the way.
Ail turns to rx-aris the tears that dim
Our lives an April's day.

WASHING MADE EASY.
"Oh, d'ar!" sighed Mrs. Grayson, as
he paused and rested both hands on
thei washboard, as If utterly diseour
agd. What' s the matter now?" asked her
Bister Alice, who was busy making the
Larrh.
"Master enough, I should say! Just
cee. it is only ten o'clock, and Mrs.
Baxter, our neighbor, has her washing
11 out on the line, while here I am,
likely to rub for another good hour;
ami, even with your help, the clothes
will not be out much before noon. It
just makes me discouraged, and 1
would like to know how she manages."
"Perhaps she gets up at the 'peep
of day" and in that was gets the start
of us 'six o'clock risers," " remarked
Alice, pleasantly.
"No; I do not think she gets up much
eartier than we do. I wish I knew her
secret," and with another sigh, Mrs.
Grayson resumed her tiresome rubbing.
"Why don't you ask her, then?" quer
ied Alice. "I have no doubt but that
she pities you every week, and would
be glad to tell you her wal. that cer
tainly must be superior to ours. If you
will charge your dress, and ro over
to Mrs. Baxter's now, I will finish the
washing. I want you to go while you
are tired, and your back aches; for if
you wait till you get rested, you will
put It off. I am personally interested, j
yon know. Now, ofT with you to learn
the wonderful secret."
After some objections, that were
overruled by her sister, Mrs. Grayson
left her tiresome work, donned a fresh
cambric, and with pencil and paprr
tucked In her pocket, In case of need,
ehe crossed the lawn to her neighbor's
coeejr home.
Mrs, Baiter greeted her cordially and
Invited her into the sitting room, where
Ehe was tewing. Mrs. Grayson could
not think cf anything but "that wash
Is1 g." and impulsively began;
"Sirs. Baiter, you are a perfect won
der to me. Here you are sewing, looking
f& frfi-ta as If you had not had a fingr
In a w.th!ub this morning, and I know
you did thst beautiful washing all
filone. I am here nosr expressly to
fc am if it is some magic you possess,
er a superior way you have. I am
cncnil"tly discouraged every wash djy,
wiwn I see your clothes swinging In
the breeze two hours earlier than mine.
"I am very sorry if I have been the
means of making you in the least dift
eeuragtMl, out it isn't on account of any
"rat-git,' I assure you," laughingly re
plied Mr. Baxter; "but I do think that
I have a "superior way.' and I know that
I have a superior washing fluid. And
fherein lies the whole secret of the two
extra hours."
"And you don't have to rub until
four back aches and you are readv to
aroi with fatigue?" asked the eager
listener.
"I nib some, to be sure, but nothing
compared to the old way. When I first
commenced to use the fluid, I wanted
everyone else to use it too, and I made
a business of telling all my friends,
but so many thought that nothing
ould take the place of 'elbow grease,'
and did not thank me for my informa
tion, or even try it, that I made up my
mind to keep mum, unless questioned
Cot I will most gladly tell you how to
make the fluid, and my way of using
It."
SJrst Grayson produced paper and
pencil, and her informant gave her
the recipe for washing fluid as fol
lows: "Four pounds of sal soda, two pound?
f sunnlacked lime, one-half pound of
borax and twenty quarts of softwater.
Pwt part of the water in a copper or
trass kettle, put In the other ingredi
ents, and let boil twenty minutes, stlr
iwr occasionally. T your kettle is not
fcrge enough to hold the remlander of
tie water, pour all into a small wash
tub, stir well, and then let it settle.
This will make enough to last a year.
fTi et;ttlin need not be thrown away.
I It is splendid for scouring floors and
titchen tables.
"Now, I will tell you the way I
mm it In washing. Soak the white
fkiihcs over night, in clear warm wa
ter. That is the reason why I wash on
Tuewiay, for I do not like to put them
waking Kunday evening. In the morn
ing wring them out, soap wristbands,
eollars, and dirty and -stained place.
Fill the boiler half full of soft water,
rve one-half cake of soap fine, and
add; then put In one teacupful of the
HmM. and the clothes last. The first
fcoilerfu! I only let it come to a boll, for

a possible, add cold water, and rub
Hftb4ly 'through one suds only, then
ttaM 'hem in the bluing watrr, and an
I 4on. For each adidtional boiler of
4 torn halt cupful f the fluid
and let boil twenty minutes, boiling is
the same water throughout the entire
wahlnf .
"Tou can wash your calicoes In the
same water after the white clothes, f.r
this fluid brightens instead of fading
the colors. I have used it f it ten years
and I am sure it docs not rot the cloth
oth
ing; the boiling, sudsing and rinsins
snouia roliow each other in rapid sue
cession.
"I also make my own bluing, which
I consider very good. It is one ounce of
pulverized Prussian blue. on.-half
ounce of oxalic acid, one quart of soft
water, mix and bottle for use. Now,
if you will follow my directions, I am
sure the result will be all that you de
sire." "You are exceedingly kind, and I
thank you many times for your help.
Now you shall see my washing on the
line at 'ten' next Tuesday!" rep. led Mia
Grayson, as she departed.
MAKING SOFT SOAP.
There are so many uses for soft soap
on the farm that the country housewife
cannot afford to give up the idea of
making it, even If if It not the cheap
est soap "in the long run." The good
man prefers lye soa pto all others, for
washing the bodies of fruit trees; and
for washing gall, cuts and bruises on
farm animals. Indoors, it is the veiy
best cleansing agent for unpainted
woodwork, for scouring the kitchen
floor, tables, etc.
When leaching your own lye from
hardwood ashes, use a barrel having
holes bored in the bottom. Have it
placed in a slanting position and rest
ing on a wide board in which there is
a channel cut for the lye to run off
Into a kettle. Soak the ashes at first
by pouring on a little hot water at a
time, and then a gallon every hour un
til the strength Is exhausted, using hot
water during the entire leaching. When
enough is run off to fill the kettle to
within eight inches of the top. put In
the soap-gre .; at the ratio of ore
gallon of grease to eight gallons of
lye; boil slowly; do not stir; generally
three or four hours' boiling is sufficient;
test it by cooling a little in a saucer.
When done leave in the kettle until
the next morning, then skim the grease
off for the next kettle of soap; dip the
soap off into Jars or a wooden keg.
Sometimes after the urual amount of
boiling the lye and grease will not mix
and form soap; the most probable cause
Is the lye is too weak. Drop In a
lump of stone lime about two pounds
of lime to each gallon of the boiling
liquid test again. If the soap does
not com after boiling a few minutes,
add soft water until the compound is
the consistency of strained honey.
The following is a tested recipe which
is good for those wanting to mike soft
soap, and who use coal for fuel and
consequently have no hardwood ashes.
Soap made after this recipe is hotter
than any that can be made from pot-
ash or concentrated lye. Take nine t
founds of sal soda and four and one- I
half pounds of unslaked lime, and eirht
gallon of rein water. Peat to the boil
Inr point In an iron ktt!. turn Irto a
ke;; or earthen vessel to settle over
night, car fully pouring the liquid Trorn
the sediment next morning. I Teat the
liquid and add nine pounds of clean
grease; boll until about the consistency
of hot Jelly. If too thick add more
rain water.
SOME FASHION NOTES
The rage for black materials wl'l be
as great if not greater than existed
last season, and the black and white
combination will also be worn. This
combination is seen in silk and wool
mixtun b, and handsome eliks and sat
ins. The fashionable fabrics in black
and colors are the camel's hair, whip
cords, creped materials, Venetian cloth,
and fancy cheviots.
Nearly every description of fabrics,
both thin and heavy, will be kilted or
accordion-plaited, as both of these
styles are in great favor, and as for the
accordion-plaiting we will see it on
hats, capes, parasols, rnllarettes, fichus
and numerous other a.tlcles.
The small silk capes that are display
ed In the stores now with accordlon
plaitings and ruffles of chiffon, mousse
line de sole and IJberty silk, with bow
and long ends in front, are very pretty.
One that was especially pretty was a
light gray silk with aecordlon-plalted
ruffles of gray moussellne d.? sole. The
bottom of the cape was cut In scal
lops and trimmed with many rows of
fine ruchlng, and then the plaited ruf
fles with an immense bow in front and
long ends extending below the wa'st.
These capes do not reach quite to the
waist and are cut rounding or In points
on the front. They are very stylish
looking little affairs, and the all-black
ones are very pretty.
Tucks are as much the rage as ever
and are seen on the new waists, sleevet
and skirts.
The white shirt wnlst for the summet
of 1900 is far ahead of any we have seen
before; they are made of the handsomf
all-over embroideries, pique, batiste,
lawn with tucks and Insertion and all
the newest shirt waists are rnide with
out yokes. Very pretty are the black
batiste shirt waists with applique in.
sertion, and the white pique with small
polka dots In white and colors.
Sleeves this season are made to fit
the arm almost tight., some of them
hooking at the wrist. The tight sleever
are no tliecomlng to all women, though
there are some we must a-lmlt whe
certainly do look very pretty; but lh
majority of women need a little fuilne i
on the upper part of the sleeve, and
especially those with sloping shoulders.
A rap, frill or deep collar or some othet
decoration will In a way cover up thli
defect and give a little ureaU'.h to tin

A practical creamery butter maker
tells how he prevents mold a follows:
In the afternni n of the day before the
tubs are to be used he Immerses them
In scalding water for half an hour. The
water enters the pores of the wood and
(fills the mold g-'rms. He then sprin
kles them thoroughly with salt and al
lows them to stand empty over night.
In the morning he steams each tub
three minutes, and then fills it with
fold water until ready to pack. The
tub thus becomes perfectly water-tight
and Is dry and clean when it reaches,
the market, and will not mold.

"If a goat should swallow a rabbit what

PI. I'M GROWING.
We are Informed upon excellent au
'hority that the plum is the only one
f the large or tree fruits whose num
bers has not decreased In Iowa during
the past ten years. There is a food
reason for this. It is because the plum
s native to the state, therefore well
idapted to the soil and o'lmmio condi
tions. The varieties of cultivated plums
lave been wonderfully Improved and
rreatly increased In numbers In recent
yn. This Is p.rt!y due to nature's
beneficent workings and partly to the
enlightened efforts of the horticultur
fts of the state.
We are clad to see by a recent bulle

ought to do. It Is, however, one ol
the bksslngs that "brighten as they
take their flight." and every farmer
who f.-els a pride in his culling re-
jolces in nothing more than in a thor
jughly clean field. Kvery farmer should j
feel that no matter how great the fer- ',
t ill t y of his land, or how abundant Its j
moisture supply. It has neither fertility j
nor moisture to divide with the weeds, i
With the very opening of spring the
campaign against them should b'gln,
and one of the aims we should set for
ourselves Is to make our fields this year
cleaner than they were last year. When
we have done our best there will still
be plenty of weeds for seed in future
seasons. So many pastures are overrun
with them and so many rented farms
are taken by them that there Is no
danger we shall ever get our fields too
clean, or that any of the countless spe
cies of weeds will become extinct. In

BROKEN SWORD OP DREYFUS.
The death of Guillaume Gambler re -

' most tragic incident of the Dreyfus af -

'the sword of Dreyfus, a part cf which

At that memorable moment the great

Yet In his heart thst man was tor

he was ordered to do his part of the
work. The letter has lately ben pub

is intensely Interesting:
"No guilty man would have acted as
he did through that awful ordeal. His
eyes were brave and frank. The agony
in his voice, on his face, was the
genuine despair of a man condemned
unjustly and unable to understand whv
everybody was so fiercely unwilling o
hear him.

he cried to the yelling, mad multitude:!
"I am innocent. I swear before God
that I am innocent." T'e cried that out
