Washing Blankets.
An easy method to wash blankets
and have them as fluffy and ebtraot-
ive an they were when new .is first
to see that the boiler is full of hob
water. A. paokage of borated soap
powder is needed for every two
pairs of blankets.
Into the first laundry tub, pub
not quite half a package of the soap
powder, see that it is porfeotly dis-
solved iu a little warm water, then
half fill the tub with warm water,
not hot water, immerse one pair of
hlan.kets, pound and squeeze until
the soapy water has thoroughly
reached every inch of the surface.
Now wring out the blankets. Two
people can do this work so easily,
one wringing in one direction and
the other in the opposite. Never
under any oirouanstance use a
wringer, as doing go mats the fiber.
Never nib soap on ,Uhe surface af-
ter wringing them out; put in the
second tab. This second tub. con-
tains the remaining half of ,soap
powder and is three parks full of
warm water. Thorroughly rinse 'Ile
blankets in this soapy water, wring
out and bang up to dry, Leave
,them on the line for a whole day
and air again the second day before
'using them on the beds. 1I one acl-
heres faithfully to this plan the re-
stilt will be all that most careful
!housewife can desire.
Hints for lIonsewives.
Use cotton thread in mending kid
gloves.
Most salt fish should be soaked

A shallow box full of eand kept

The attic is far better than the
cellar for storing canned fruits,
jellies seeds, roots, and so on.
A glass 'measuring cup is partic-
ularly good for measuring dry ma-
terials, euoh as sugar or flour.
Put a bit of gum camphor in the
case when you put away silver, if
you would have it stay bright.
Be euro to .combine green foods
with salt meats or fish, else the salt
will be irritating to the system.
In making oaken, meaniethe
by packing solidly into
a cup and levelling the top with a
knife.
In making beef stew. have the
beef eat into small cubes, The best
way to 'thicken it is with a few pods
of okra.
Cook fudge only five or six min-
utes, and then beat until it is thick
and Dreamy, if you would have ib

Every child member of the family
should be trained to hang up his
coat by its 'banger. This saves the
tearing out of armholes and similar
catastrophes.
In cold weather Sake 'special pains
to dry the hands thoroughly, and
;you will save much di'scomfo'rt
from chapping.
If aluminum cooking vessels get
scorched, do not .scrape them. Half

Eietratots for flavoring cakes
should be used sparingly. If the
cake is well made of the beat ma-
terials, it requires very little flav-
oring.
THE RING WORKS HARD.
Tolls Head of the Church Army
His Views.
King George the other day told
Prebendiary Wilson Garble, the
head of •the Church Army, that he
was a great believer in hard work.
The Icing amid:
"I have to work hard myself and
I think it is good for people."
His Majesty's remark was made
during an audience granted to Mr.
Carlile at Buckingham Peleeo.
The King else expressed his
strong disapproval of indiscrimi-
nate charity, saying he considered
voluntary agencies such as the
Chureli Army far better able to
help backsliders and unfortunate
people baolc to good citizenship.
Ass Mr. Carldl,o was entering the
Palade ho was accosted by a former
pickpocket who had been reclaimed
by the Ohurch Army and seat a
Dressage to the King saying he had
lived honestly since the day of King
Edward's coronation, whoa he bad
stolenthirty-two watohes and
purees.
He now had, he said, $64.0 in the
eavings bank.
Mainly About Books.
Many people who are fond of
books—that is to say, who like
reading tbhe,m--do not know any-
thing about looking alter them
Books should never be tightly pack-
ed on a shelf, for ib causes the
backs, in many eases, to crack and
come off. When opening a new
Crook for the finch time, bone back
the covers only at frust. Then let
the pages run through your fingers.
This will prevent any injury to the
new, and sometimes stiff; binding.
Except for very preoioue volumes,
glass cases should not be used.
The ,stuffy air and look of ventila-
tion in the glass-oovered bookcase
oauses the growth of germs, insects
and mould. There are several siml-
plo ways of keeping books in good
condition, One of the beat is to
pisco on the shelves, behind the
volume's, 'strips of flannel moistened
with benzine, phenol., tobacco -
juice, or turpentine, 'These strips
only need renewing from titn,e to
time, and will effectually prevent
decay setting in amongst the large
or small library ab the cost of a few
pence and a little trouble.
Dooliniug Crime.
In 7850 it was oompubed that ono -
fifteenth part of the population of
the United Kingdom lived by
crime. One -fifteenth part I It
aannds almost incredible. Still,.
the year 1856 was quite a long time
ago, and since: then, 'thanks mainly
to improved trade and educational
facilites,

climed very oonsidencybly. Nowa-.

birthrate, the number of persons

MOST SUCCESSFUL BEGGAR
NEW LORD ICNTJTSPORD AN
UNI( UE CHARACTER.
He Goes About Among the Rich
of London Raining Money
for Hospitals.
Sydney Holland, who, through
his father's death has just become
Viscount Knutsford, is a. grandson
of that Sir Henry Holland who
married a daughter of Sydney
Smith, the famous wit. Ho owed
the handle of his name to the bar-
onetcy besbo•we'c1 upon him by
Queen Victoria, in return for his
serviees to her as her principal
physician, and his eldest son after
filling the offices of Minister of Ed-
ueation, and of Secretary of State
for the Colonies, was raised by her
to the peerage as Baron and Vis
-
,count Knutsford in the County of
Chester,
The new Lord Knutsford is the
moat persistent beggar in London,
and it has been suggested that he
should on sueceedin•g to the House
of Lards transform the motto of his
house into the shorter and more
appropriate phrase, "How mutt I"
as indicative of his methods of per -
,Suasion.
It is only fair to say that ho does
not beg for himself, but for the
great hospitals of the metropolis,
and several of them, notably the
London .Hospital and that of Pop-
lar, have not only been extrioabted
Pram heavy debt and tplaoed on an
excellent financial footing, but have
been wonderfully enlarged, im-
proved and brought up to date
through the millions of dollars
which he has managed to collect
for them.
Nothing for Himself.
Known all over Europe as the
greatest expert in existence on hos-
pital finance and administration,
all his work for these institutions
has been done without the slightest,
remuneration, and with the sole
object of relieving sufferiug.
He never loses an opportunity to
promote liberality towards the hos-
pitals in which he is interested. On
ono occasion he struck up an ac-
quaintance on an omnibus in the
city with a couple of Americans
from, one of the Western Sta•tcs.
"Whore , aro you going 2" he
asked.
"To the Tower of London," was
the answer,
"Why, that is a second-rate af-
fair
ffair compare(' with the Poplar 1- os-.
pita, You canal leave England
without seeing it. Come nlong
with me and I will show you over.„They wenn over it. -They did not
seem, particularly pleased at ' the
alteration of their morning'% pro-
gramme. But they never said a
word tall he led them up to the col-
leating box. They dropped thereiu
a •sovereign apiece. Then the storm
broke. )'Sir,” said the elder, "you
].lave in you the primary instinots
of a bunco -sheerer," • while the
other, after gazing at, Holland a
minute, exclaimed with a sort of
jealous approbation, "Say, young.
fellow, you ' could make your for-
tune out West --that is, if they
didn't shoot you first,"
1,alrY er and Financier..
The new Lord Knutsfordi is a
lawyer by profession, but n finan-
cier by preference, and a very euO-
ceoo£ul ons at that, icor when he
joined the board of directors of the
East and West India Docks Com-
pany in
oin-pany-in London ib was in the hands
of a reeciver, with liabilities for
interest Mono of. near a million dol -
hire .e year, and virtu•a17,y no in-
come. Thanks mainly to his efforts,
it is today a prosperous ooncern
with all, the liabihitioa discharged,
and paying ordinary shareholders
an average dividend of five per
eell1, This has made a name for
miler in the city.
Lord tinubsfoi'cl is married to
Lady Mary Ashburnham, youngest
sister of the present Earl of Ash-
burnham, and, ;like his grandfather,
fiiir Henry Holland, is no.'stranger
on this side of the Atlantic,. having
been a guest ou several occasions
of the late 1, Pierpont Morgan.

FLYING FOXES.
After Preying Upon Fruit Gardens
They Fly to a 'Free and Rost.
Persons who have lived) in India
are familiar with the long strings of
flying foxes which often can be seen
wending their way in single file
from their sleeping pl.soes in re-
mote trees to the fruit gardens
upon whioh they prey. These cur-
ious creatures ,sways a, writer in the
Wide World Magazine, some'tmes
measure as much ,as four feet across
the, wings, and have redklieli brown
fur and mole oo•lored wings. .After
their nocturnal depredations 'they
fly away with the 'dawn to a tree in
some isolated place, and there cost
'during the day, hanging heads clown
ward from the boughs in the makn-
her of bats, olatching the branch
with their • feat.
As the flying foxes gather on the
tree selected there is a tremendous
commotion, for each newcomer is
slgoatotisly driven off from one
place after another until ho even-
tually manages to obtain a perch
for himself. Those on the tree
meanwhile keep up an incessant
wrangling, each endeavoring to. get
the highest and best plane to rest
on. Sometlnes many hundreds of
these destructive creatures may be
seen hanging irons the branches of
a large tree, Whon opportunity of -
fens, they are often shot, and some
