LEMON FOR RUST STAINS.
The following method of removing
iron rust has been in use in my family

fail of immediate results with rust
stains. Often it will remove old stains
from .fruit and other sources.
Have a flatiron just'warm enough
to steam if a damp cloth is placed upon I
it. Lay the stain, with cloth dry, over;
the iron. and rub with a piece of fresh-
ly cut lemon. Then note the instant
disappearance of the stain, Wash im-
mediately in clear water. -E. B. W.

The 'Curse of Scotland.
Why is the nine of diamonds called
the "Curse of Scotland?"
Probably -the most satisfactory 'ex-
pllanation is that connected with the
massacre of Glencoe. The order for
the slaughter was signed by, John,
Dalrymyle, Earl of -,Stair, the man wlio'
was instrumental .in bringing about
the union between England and Scot -
lad.
The coat of arms of, the Dalrymples
bore nine lozenges or diamonds on the
shield, and it was because of this, ac-
cording to many students of heraldry,
that the expression arose. It is cer-
tain
that the phrase goes back to 1745,
because on October 21 of that year a
caricature • appeared showing the
young Chevalier attempting to lead a
herd of bulls across 'the river Tweed,
with the nine of diamonds lying be-
fore them.

BarrMly Vandelienlan!anIt was bol and
bred in him, the product ofthree,
generations of wasters, No ` wonder
the great Vandeman falm.had shrunk
to a scant 50 acres, Thriftless lep,bits
had fallen on his shoulders; like some
nevor-to-bo•worn-out garment. The
old farm *as naturigly fertile, but the.
snalleetJ.leak will "{frain the largest''
barrel in time, and the mortgage was
about to be foreclosed. : ' -
Certainly the farmer's erase seemed
hopeless, One grizzled farmer remark-
ed: "You couldn't shoot thrifty habits
into Harry Vandeman with a Shot-
gun!" and still another remarked: "He
would plant corn, in Indian summer
and set out fruit •tree,s, in dog -days if
it were not for that daughter of his!"
Ah, here was the only key that could
wind that run-down Vandeman clock,
his only daughter Clarissofi now 1$ '
years of age! The family -mantle of
shiftlessness was surely sliding from
her well -formed shoulders. It seemed
likely to skip a generation entirety,:
Her mother had passed away wJa n she
Was only twelve years of age—living
with a waster was such discouraging
business that `Mrs. Vandeman threw
up the job. As Clarissa was an only
child she now kept house for her
father:
'About a year before • this-, ambition
had begun to have its inning in her
life. Now the crisis, was at hand, the
end was in sight unless she could stem
the tide. The martgage was overdue,
the interest was unpaid.
Swiftly as an arrow from a bow
went. Clarissa Vandeman to the keen -
eyed manager of the Slaterville Sav
Ings Bank, which held the mortgage.
"Try my plan," said she, "and allow
father more time provided he will turn
over every cent that he receives to
me and allow ere to make all pur-
chases and pay all bills. Then I cau
guarantee that you will receive your
incerest regularly. I will also start -au
account in your bank 'with any spare
money, and every six niontb,s it can be
applied on the mortgage.
"Then,". she continued, "I have an-
other plan. The old farm is well'
adapted to berries. Father has always
said: 'Too much work!' I shall supply
the summer resorts at Shoal Beach
with raspberries and strawberries."
Manager McAthnr' never spoke in
haste and repented at leisure. "Come
in at ten o'clock to -morrow tor my de-
cision," cisian ' he said.Clarissa was on the
dot and the smiling president paid:
"Favorable decision,: Clarissa; you
shall have your chance. True, .it is
only a fighting' chance, but the color
that you have in your face just now
looks as if you had fighting blood in
your veins."
Vandeman turned- over his, few dol-
lars in cash to his daughter and a new
era began. The next day Vandeman
came to the door, and said„hesitating
ly: "Clarissa, that' cultivator agent
says I need a new cultivatar.”
Out went Clarissa, clad in new-found
authority and a dainty gingham. ``One
tooth is broken," explained the glib
agent, "and I notide that the cultivator
is very shaky. I advise purchasing a
new cultivator."
"Father," said Clarissa, tersely, as
she turned to her astonished parent,
"get the wrench and tighten up those
bolts. Then go down to the hardware "
store 'and get a new tooth—here is
thirty-five cents." Then, turning to
the astonished agent she said: "Non-
sense, that cultivator is good for ten
years yet! I am cashier now; _I shall r•
make the purchases and pay the bills
in future."
"That Vandeman has been an easy
mark, groaned the agent as he
cranked his Ford—he had expected to
put in a self-starter with the profit
from that cultivator sale—"but his
daughter iso a corker."
So she was. The way she caulked
the farm leaks was a caution. The
Slaterville stores ne more worked off
their unsalable stuff on Vandeman.
"No smallpox at Vandeman's, . is,
there?" inquired a friend of the agent.

past the farm. "Worse than that,"
said the discouraged agent, ,: "Vande-
man Ls taking thrift by proxy!" Those
who . had found Vandeman an easy
mark soon said-, ane to another,
"Watch' out for Clarissa!"
1 -low the farm prospered! The cows
and the hogs fattened on what had
been beforetime wasted. The hens
cackled: "Eggs, eggs, eggs for Clarisa,
sal" The,berries gairly elbowed each
other from the vines. Prosperity
smiled, and said, "Clarissa and I are
partners;"_Not only ,,was'the interest.:,
paid regularly but the savings account,
flourished. The hand of thrift was at.
the helm and the old farm responded
nobly.
When difficulties, came a very deter-
mined Clarissa .said, -"This -thing is go-
ing through!" Sure enough, that.
mountain of difficulty was tunneled
through in just five years, and the last
payment was made on the mortgage.
About that time a prosperous young
farmer engaged Clarissa as assistant

etivation at raising berries, and—welt;
