Simple Way of Filling Pillows Without
Loss of Feathers.
Select the pillows that are to be
opened and with a large needle and
coar.-e linen thread bate about one '
inch from the end of a pillow, com
mencing at the edge. Gradually
slant to the required distance. Then I
slant out again at the other end, so j
that when the -cam is opened your
fc,r, licr- arc all -till in the pillow.
Alim ripping as far the bn-tings _
go .'W the opening of the other in
like manner. Rip the second one <
the same as the first. Now pull out
the bastings of both pillows, which
releases the feathers, then work the
feathers from one end into the oth
er by pu hing them through from
the outside.
When all are transferred replace
the basting in the pillow containing
the feathers. Then separate them.
Now you have your pillow filled and
no feathers Jost. Turn the edges
in and sew up by over and over I
hand stitch, or run the end across j
by machine, and there you are. Pull
out the basting.
Blanching Nuts.
The blanching of nuts is a process
often thought dillicult because not
nnderstood. The nuts should be
covered with boiling water ami
should be allowed to stand for ten
minutes, where they will keep hot,
but not cook. Then drain them,
plunge them into cold water and
chill them. A knil'e must be used '
with English walnut- becnii-e of
their serrated surface. Pistachio
nuts are hard to blanch, and the
water in which they soak needs to
actnnllv boil while they are in it,
although (bey mu: t not cook.
A Toilet Vinegar.
When the first warm weather
gives the skin that disagreeably oily
look a milk vinegar diluted with a ;
little wafer and applied night and
morning is ellieacious.

Soiled Photograph*.
Photographs that have become
soiled or that are mounted on cards
the edges of which are broken may
be soaked oIT by placing them in
water. This cleans them, but does
not injure them in the least, and
after drying thoroughly between
blotters they may be mounted again
on new cards.
Kindling the Fire.
If one insists on using kerosene
as a lire kindler, better pour a pint
or so into an old tin pail and stand
as many corncobs in it as the pail
will hold overnight. The cobs will i
be thoroughly saturated by morning!
and are not so dangerous to use.

cation is thoroughly dry.
Lamp Wicks.
To insure a good light wicks must
be changed often, as they soon be
come clogged and do not permit the
free passage of the oil.
Soaking wicks in vinegar twenty
four hours before placing in lamp
insures a clear flame.

A Plea For Pork.
Pork, including ham and bacon,
is easily our second most valuable
meat food and Ims laid the literal
foundation of our western civiliza

lundier ciimp or a harvest field be
without bacon? Most of the re
stricted ‘‘hygienic” diets on which
our patients put themselves are
chiefly notable for the fact that
they are deficient in proper food

will be dyspeptic just a- long as hi
do<- so.— M.Ti ire's Ma n ine.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MA* IDO6,
LANTERNS AND UMBRELLAS.
How and Why They Are So Generally
Used In China.
Chinese lanterns are made of pa
per, silk, horn, crystal and many
other materials. Those made of silk
are usually richly embroidered with
figures of animals, birds or flowers.
Those of horn are prettily decorated
with paintings. Some of the most
i ornamental and expensive lanterns
are mounted on beautifully carved
frames of wood and ivory.
If a Chinese leaves his home after
night without taking with him a
lantern, such as is assigned to the
Use of the class to which he belongs,
he is liable to arrest by the police.
As soon as it is dark every city
-eems ablaze with lanterns. They
light up the homes of the rich and
’ poor; they are attached to the an
gles: of the pagoda; they are seen at
every port and on every river. In
fact, they make their appearance
everywhere, and to call China the
“land of lanterns” is by no means
a misnomer.
Umbrellas, too, are of much im
portance in China, because there
the umbrella is a mark of rank. Two
large.red silk umbrellas signal the
approach of the governor general of
a province. A red silk umbrella
with three ruffles on it is the kind
assigned to the four highest ranks
of mandarin. The nobility of lower
rank are entitled to an umbrella of
red silk, but may have only two ruf
fles.
The two highest ranks of gentle
men commoners are entitled to a red
state umbrella surmounted by a
knob of tin. The third and fourth
ranks have the knob of wood instead
of tin, but it is always painted red.
An umbrella of blue cloth with two
ruffles and surmounted by a red
painted wooden knob distinguishes
the fifth rank.
Choate as an Interpreter.
Rufus Choate was once trying a
case before Justice Shaw, and one
witness who took the stand was a
minister.
“What is your name?” asked
Choa te.
“Ezekiel Lee,” answered the wit
ness.
Justice Shaw, not hearing readily,
leaned forward and asked Choate
what the witness said.
“He said, your honor, that his
name was Ezekiel Lee,” replied
('hoate.
“What is your occupation?” con
tinued Choate.
“1 am a humble candle bearer of
the Lord,” replied the witness.
J ustice Shaw bent over the bench
and inquired what the witness had
said. Choate responded, saying that
the witness had said that he was a
humble candle bearer of the Lord.
“Os what denomination are you?”
questioned Choate.
“I am a Baptist,” replied Lee.
Again Justice Shaw leaned for
ward and asked what the witness
had said, and Choate replied, “He
said, your honor, that he was a dip
candle.”—Boston Herald.
Most Appropriate.
A student at one of the theolog
ical colleges had written a sermon
with much care and passed it to the
professor for criticism. After two
weeks he called on the professor and
staled that he left his manuscript
with him and had called for it and
would be glad of any suggestion
from him. It was returned without
any criticism or suggestions. The
student, well pleased with his own
production, was intent on having
the opinion of his teacher and call
ed again and. referring to the ser
mon, asked what hymns would be
appropriate in connection with it.
The professor replied, “The most
appropriate hymn 1 can think of is
‘Now 1 lay me down to sleep.’”
Under Conditions.
“What did the editor say about
your story ?” asked the young man’s
friend.
“1 don’t believe he liked it very
well.”
“Well, there are differences in the
appreciative faculty as well as in
the ability to create. The same
man’s taste will vary according to
circumstances.”
“1 suggested that, and he agreed
with me. He said that if a man
found himself on a desert island
, with nothing to read except my sto
ry ami a back number city directory
, he might read my story.”
Lord Russell’s Wit.
In his early days Lord Russell of
Killowen. later chief justice of Eng
lund. had a good deal to put up with
I from older men and judges who
I thought to prune down his exuber
ance. One day Sir Digby Seymour,
. Q. C., kept up a flow of small talk
■ when Russell was speaking.
“I wish you would be quiet. Say
more,” said Russell, with his Irish
' accent.
“My name is Seymour, if you
j please,” replied the learned gentle
i man, with mock dignity.

THE LAW OF ENTAIL.
Some of the Evils of Perpetuating Great
Estates.
One of the chief sources of dis
satisfaction with Great Britain
among our Revolutionary forbears
was the law of entail which prevent
ed the distribution of estates, cre
ated a wealthy and privileged class
and deprived every other class of
hope and ambition. Even Lord Ba
con said that money was like a
compost heap, which grew more and
more offensive until it was distribut
ed, but then produced everywhere
fertility and beauty.
Entails are not prohibited in the
constitution of the United States,
but they are abolished in Illinois
and in almost every other state ei
ther by constitutional provisions or
by statute. It is the sense of the
American people that they are con
trary to public policy and inimical
to freedom.
It is important that there should
be laws against entails, for other
wise we should certainly have them
in this country. The instinct which
originated them in England centu
ries ago is firmly fixed in human
nature and is as powerful among
men of large estates today as it ever
was. Whenever one of them dies and
his will is published we discover that
the strongest desire he had in death
was to preserve his fortune intact
and pass it on unimpaired to his de
scendants. He bequeaths the bulk
ot it to as few people as possible and
even then puts it in the hands of
trustees, so that it may continue un
der one management and retain its
unity as long as possible. If the
law permitted it, he would bequeath
it. all, just as his ancestors did in
England or some other European
country.
The evil of keeping a large for
tune intact is just as great when it
is involuntary, and the evil all grows
out of the fact that the man who in
herits a fortune is an entirely dif
ferent character from the man who
makes it and that the fortune itself
in the hands of its founder plays an
entirely different part in civilization
from what it does in the hands of
his progeny.—Chicago Chronicle.
To Her Art.
Mme. d’Albertin, one of the lesser
painters of France, was as conceit
ed about her artistic ability as she
was notorious for her excessive use
of cosmetics of all kinds. Her face
was a study in enamel, rouge and
penciling, and the older she grew
the more pronounced it became. On
one occasion a certain count, who
held her in much disesteem, lost a
bet to her.
“And what will niadame choose?”
he asked, with mock courtesy.
“Something in my art,” she sim
pered. “Something I can paint.”
“Very well, madame,” he replied,
bowing himself out.
A day later madame received a
package from the count, which upon
being opened revealed a life size
drawing of her own face in outline.
Why Julia Quit.
The most peculiar reason yet as
signed for a servant leaving her
place “without notice” was given
by a Germantown mistress when
asked why Julia, a colored maid,
had suddenly quit. “The whole
trouble came about last wash day,”
said the indignant housekeeper. “It
began to*rain before the wash was
done, and when it was ready to hang
out it was drizzling at a good rate.
Then it was that Julia, the colored
help, came upstairs and asked me
to lend het m y rain coat while she
hung out the clothes. I had never
found an umbrella or a mackintosh
necessary when I did similar work
and declined to grant the request.
Then Julia quit.” Philadelphia
Record.
A Fear.
“So you think that this concentra
tion of wealth is the inevitable out
growth of our civilization?”
“I do,” answered Mr. Thinker.
“And you must admit that the ul
timate result of such a condition
would be to put all the money un
der the control of one individual?”
“Yes.”
“Well, it seems terrible to think
of.”
“What does?”
“The possibility of some billion
aire getting out of temper some day
and making up his mind to dis
charge the entire human race.” —
J udge.
“Whoa!”
The word “whoa,” used in calling
on a horse to stop, is merely a vari
ant and emphatic form of “ho,” for
merly used in the same sense. This
is easily proved, for Chaucer has
“ho” in the sense of “halt” (“Can
terburvTales’ ). When King Edward
IV. had to use this exclamation he
actually turned it into “whoo.”
“Then the kyng. perceyving the
cruell assaille (onset), east his staff
and. with high voice, cried whoo!”
(“Excerpta Historiea,” page 211).
