TIIAT HORRID STAIN.
Every housewife at times has trying
experiences with stains, but there are
some common agents by which stains
and discolorations can be removed,
proved by home • economics experts.
Colored candle wax dropped on table
linen can be eradicated by applying a
riot iron and two pieces of blotting
paper which absorb the wax. Then the
color is removed by soaking material
in denatured alcohol for a few min-
utee:
Fruit, tea, coffee and chocolate dis
colorations are removed by holding
the cloth taut over a bowl and pouring
boiling water over the stain. A paste
of borax and cold water, with much
rinsing, takes out chocolate easily and
usually grease spots yield to soap and
hot water treatment. Iron rust conies
out by applying a paste of table salt
and lemon juice several times, alter-
nating with steam from the tea kettle
spout. Black grease or tar Stains can
be removed by . rubbing spots with
lard, then wash in hot suds.
Javelle water is a good commercial
bleach, but it can't be used on colored
materials as it destroys color, Use
only on cotton ar.cl linen, Make a solu-
tion of equal parts of water and the
bleach, soak cloth in it few minutes,
rinse well mid in the last rinsing add
a few dro of clear ammonia water,

occurs in the corporation records of
1425, probably about: two years after
"the new house" for books had been
built next to the Guildhall Chapel. .
The foundation was due to the gene-
rosity of Richard Whittington, the
Lol'd Mayor of the famous cat story,
and to one William Bury. The library
was erected by the executors of these
two leer, and given into the custody of
the "Mayor, Aldermen and Conimuni-

The library, surely enough, was

The Corporation made no attempt
to reinstate the library until nearly
three hundred years later. Then in;
1824 some obscure apartments in the
Guildhall were set aside for the pur-
pose of the new library, and four
years later—the interval being wisely
spent in the acquisition of rare and,
interesting London books—a collec-
tion of 1350 works was made avail-
able. From that time the growth of
the library has been steady, and in
1869, the number of volumes Having
far outgrown the accommodation, the
present building was constructed at
a cost of $300,000,
Among its 200,000 hooks the Guild-
hall Library possesses some treasures,
the chief being a first folio Shakes-
peare and a Shakespeare deed bearing
one of the three known signatures of
the poet.
Music Belongs to Every-
body.
When you speak of music or of tak
ing music lessons, what generally
comes to your mind? Of course the
fortes and kinds of music and musical
instruments that you are accustomed
to hear and use. We think of pieces,
songs, planes, organs, violins and the
other instruments of our orchestras
and bands, and we also think of the
music that we often hear that is made
by machines and records.
But Just think of all the many parts
of the world where people love musks
an their own instruments, which are
not all like our own. Think of coun-
tries where they have never seen
pianos, for instance, and yet the peo-
ple in those countries have had music
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Everywhere people have tried to in-
vent instruments that would slake
music and rhythm from the earliest
antiquity to the present time. The
American Indian had a great deal to
do with music, and he madeflutes of
bone and wood, and many varieties of
queer drums and rattles from plants,
sometbink like pumpkins, and they
sang a great deal.
The Chinese make lots of instru-
ments of. metal and wood and strings,
The Turks and Persians and all the.
Eastern, countries have their, own
musical instruments. Even the South
Sea 'Islanders. have instruments and
sing. But of course we would prob-
ably dislike the sound that they call
music, because we are accustomed to
more perfect instruments and our
MUSIC is mora highly developed. Some
music thatwe call beautiful they
could not understaud at all, and they
would call our nmsic weird, which Is
jest exactly what we call theirs.
