FOR STORING LINEN
CL08ET EASILY THE BEST OF ALL
RECEPTACLES.
Care In Arrangement and Laying
Away of Freshly Washed and
Ironed Linen Will Well Re
pay the Housewife.
Freshly washed and ironed linen is
bo attractive in itself that it deserves
to be stored for use in as neat and
pleasing a manner as possible. The
past generation of housekeepers took
great pride in its roomy, princely kept
linen closets, says Qrace Campbell
Moore in the Washington Star.
A closet, rather than a box couch,
sideboard or other makeshift recepta
cle so often used for the purpose,
should be devoted to this UBe, if one
can possibly be spared. It should be
lined with shelves set in 18 inches
apart. The broader the shelf, the bet
ter, until it is 18 Inches wide. That is
ample for any arrangement of linen
that may be adopted for laying it
away.
The beauty of a closet of linen
starched on shelves lies in the fashion
of stacking and in the arrangement of
the piles. Sheets, spreads and table
cloths should be folded into a long
rather than square parcel. Sheets, in
particular, are often laid away in the
square form, when a last crease might
be avoided and the sheets be as con
veniently and economically stowed
away in their allotted space if the last
fold had been omitted. Pillow cases
are folded first into three, lengthwise,
and that length is then folded in the
middle and yet again in the middle'.
Napkins are treated in the same way.
The first principle of putting away
linen is to fold evenly, edge, to edge,
and then, as each piece is folded, to
see that it has been made into an ex
act parcel. Stack all the articles of a
kind together, but in not too high
piles, if there is space enough for sev
eral stacks of a kind. Do not lay the
piles parallel with the edge of the
shelf and at right angles to it, but
diagonally across it.
If it were sheets that were being
thus put away, the first would be
laid in the diagonal position, with the
long fold of "the parcel toward the
front and the edges of the sheet di
agonally to the wall. This brings
forward conspicuously a corner of the
parcel. Across this corner the next
sheet in the pile is laid. Every
sheet parcel will be found to have
two sides made of folds and two that
show edges. The fold sides always
face front and the edge sides the
wall. One folded side is long and
the other short, the latter being in
reality an end of the parcel. It is this
short fold or end that is laid across
the corner so that the under sheet
projects in a point. The third sheet
is laid on exactly over the first one,
and In this alternating fashion the
stack is raised as high as desired.
Blankets, which have their place in
the closets, too, require special fold-;
ing to look their best. A family's'
stock of these coverings usually is
made of a heterogeneous collection
of borders, blue for this room, per
haps, and yellow for that or pink, be
cause some one happened to make
a present of pink bordered blankets.
To stack them so that this rainbow
combination of hues shows will not
present the blankets at their best
appearance, and such a placing takes
away from the neat appearance of the
linen closet. Fold them, therefore,
so that none of the borders are in
view. To do this fold first end to
end, bringing the stripes together,
then turn the ends back to the fold
so that the blanket lies in a long
parcel. Take the two ends of this
and bring them toward one another,
but leave a space of-, two or three
inches. The space makes a hinge on
which to fold the blanket once more.
It now lies in a parcel more nearly
square than long. This is rather a
departure from the shape suggested,
but is the only form into which a
blanket can be folded and not show
Its colors. Laid on the topmost shelf,
where blankets belong, because they
are more rarely undisturbed than the
rest of the bedding, their square
shape will not interfere with the uni
form appearance of the closet.
New Way to Mark Cloth.
An Ingenious way of marking cloth
has just come in. The tissue paper
pattern is basted upon the cloth,
which Is then placed in the sewing
machine. There is no thread in the
needle. But the paper pattern is
stitched along the line of the design.
And when the pattern or design is
lifted there is a handsome pattern all
outlined underneath. The little fine
needle has marked it out in the pret
tiest manner possible. It is clear cut,
and can be followed nicely with the
embroidery needle.
Helping the Nervous Child.
A mother who has a restless little
girl has taught her to make paper
flowers morning glories, roses and
other triumphs of art in paper. The
child has been much benefited by It,
as the Interest awakened has kept
her from the "fidgets" at least, and
while she can work as little or as
much as she pleases she is never
tired of the pretty recreation and has
decorated her own and her brothers'
rooms to her own satisfaction.
Substitute for Maple Sugar.
A good substitute for maple sugar
is made by using equal parts of
granulated white and dark brown
sugar, add one-half the quantity of
water and boil until it is of the de
sired thickness. When cool add three
Idropa of vanilla extract.
A WOMAN'S KIDNEYS.
Women have much to do, so many
pains to suffer, so many critical
periods to go through.
that it is important
to keep the kidneys
well, and avoid the
backache, bearing-
down pain, headache,
dizziness, languor and
other common signs
of weak kidneys.
Mrs. Charles E.
smith, or 22 Boyuen
I., says: "My kid
neys were weak from childhood, and
for eight or ten years past my back
was very painful and I had many an
noying symptoms besides. When I
began taking Doan's Kidney Pills I
weighed only 120. To-day I weigh 165,
and am in better health than for
years. Doan's Kidney Pills have been
my only kidney medicine during four
years past. They bring me out of
every attack."

The Kind Yon Save Always Bought
Lonaeat and Oldest Tunnel.
The near completion of the Penn
sylvania tunnel reminds the American
Israelite of the oldest known tunnel
In the world, that of Shiloah, near Je
rusalem. It was used as an acque
duct. The famous inscription, dis
covered a few years ago, celebrates
the first meeting of the diggers from
boVi sides. Newspapers did not ap
pear in those days, and so the event
cannot be exactly dated, but it most
probably took place under King Heze
kiah, about 700 B. C, and is an in
teresting testimony to the high state
of civilization among the Jews at a
time when Europe was inhabited by
savages.
Rulers Look for "Rainy Day."
Nearly all European kings and
queens have money invested in for
eign countries. Every year the czar
and czarine of Russia intrust a large
portion of their private savings to the
British and French national banks.
King Leopold, of Belgium, has a uni
versal reputation, and not an enviable
one, as Leopold & Co., rubber mer
chants. He founded the Congo Free
State and is one of the largest rubber
and Ivory dealers in the world. He
is also one of the cleverest of finan
ciers, and knows his way about all
the bourses of Europe. King George
of Greece speculates largely in argi
cultural products, follows carefully all
the fluctuations of the financial mar
kets and is assiduous in putting his
money into good things. The sultan
of Turkey declines to trust any Turk
ish bank with his savings, which are
nearly all deposited in British banks.
Modern Farming.
Thirty years ago threshing time
was one of the most strenuous occa
sions that came to the farmer's an
nual experience and was something
that was dreaded as much by the
women folks of the house as the farm
er himself, as it required two or three
days to thresh the average crop, with
15 and 20 men and as many teams
to be fed and housed, and the stacks
of fried chicken and apple pie that
disappeared during these days was
poniething wonderful to behold. This
is now all changed. The threshing
;rew come down the road with their
whole outfit en train pull in along
side of the stacks and in ten minutes
are at work, and no one is surprised
if they are threshing ten bushels a
minute. The sheaves being fed auto
matically, the threshed grain runs di
rectly into the farmer's wagons, the
straw being stacked automatically,
taking away most of the laborious
and dirty part of the work of the old
times, and for the average farmer one
day cleans up the whole job, and the
thresher has moved on to the nexf
setting. Export Implement Age.

for thorough sweeping, as tho weight

How to Treat Brushes.
Handsome Ivory hair brushes will,
after a time, become spotted, but this
disfigurement can usually be removed
by rubbing on fine salt with a slight
ly dampened cloth. If this is nrt
effectual use sawdust moistened with
a few drops of lemon juice and a ll-
tie water.

HAD CONSIDERED THE POINT.
Juryman's Explanation Somewhat of a
Joke on Judge. j .
A lawyer in the western part of
Massachusetts having a father des
perate case to defend, called the
courfs attention to the wording of
the statute, empowering the jury to
"judge of the law as well as of the
facts," and requested him to instruct
accordingly. The judge somewhat re
luctantly did so, adding, however, that
the jurymen should accept his inter
pretation of the prinicples involved
unless they were fully satisfied that
they knew more law than he did.
In spite of this, an outrageous ver
dict was brought in, utterly contrary
to the instructions of the judge, who
severely rebuked the jurors.
The foreman, a horny-handed farm
er, rose to reply. "Jedge," said he,
"weren't we to jedge the law as well
as the facts?" ;
"Certainly," was the response, '"but
I told you not to judge the law unless
you were satisfied that you knew the
law better than I did."
"Well, jedge," answered the farmer,
as he shifted his quid, "we considered
that p'int."

OPERATIONS AVOIDEB
Two Grateful Letters from Women Who Avoided
Serious Operations. Many Women Suffering
from Like Conditions Will Be Interested.
When a physician tells a woman, suffering-
from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating;
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she I
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strong-est and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking- Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrito Ryan, Treasurer of St.
Andrew's Society, Indianapolis, Ind.,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: -
" I cannot find words to express my thanks
