Fill the boiler with fine pieces of clothing and boil one-half hour. For the second boilerf ul add the same amount of soap and paraf fin and boil the savae. length of time. There will bo enough soap and par affin for the third boiling of towels and coarse pieces. Scald, but do not boil, black and white percales and ginghams, and they.-will not fade.

In win ter if the flannels are washed in the water left from white clothes and rinsed in wann water softened with a little bora* they will bo nico and soft. The soapy water in tho wash boiler is very good to clean floors, sinks, etc., if used warm. Empty the boiler before it cools, or tho paraffin^, will form a rim, which only gasoline' will remove. ' Enameling a Bathtub. Firat the old enamel should be cracked off with a small hammer and ground down with sandstone. Next give it one coat of one part lin seed oil arid four part? turpentine, ?which will prevent any further, cor rosion and at tho samo time forms a good surface for the subsequent painting. Follow this with two coats of paint made as follows: Zino .white paste, three .pounds; pale gold size* one-fourth' pint. Stir well and thin with turpentine. This , paint will dry Hoard and resist the action of hot water. For th? ?Ink Back. Measure sink from end to end and get a board that length and about a foot wide. Coyer smoothly, with oii-( j cloth on one side, tacking the raw edges on the back. Put a screw eye about six inches from each end to hang it. by. Hang it so the lower edge will come over back of edge of sink instead of under tho .finish, l?im will keep it dry and clean, and when the oilcloth is soiled it can be cleansed witjb. kerosene.

C., I will try to givo the readeT of ?oar paper some iutas of how tho school rooms were built and the sohools. conducted 41* years ago. I lived in a community of farmers in Spartenburg County, S. C., near LuBtor's old faotory, known as Pelham now. The school house was at Lib erty Hill Church and was built out of pine log? with only one room, about 18 hy 20 feet, with one door in the middle of the room, ou the front side, made of plank and opening on the outside on. wooden hinges. There were no windows in the room and there was but one desk in the room ?nd that belonged to the teacher. A wide plank placed against one end of the house at tho proper height was used for writing and one log out out of the side of tho houao scrvod for a window. The benohes were all of the same height made out of slabs, and while tho large soholars could rest their feet on the floor the smaller ones had them swingirg above it. At one end of tho building was a stick and dirt chimney. The teacher's doak was near the fireplace in one corner of the room. By looking closely in the corner in rear of the teacher you could have seen a bunoh of Tong, tapering hickory switches" all dried ready for bunine GB. When a teacher wished to get up a school be visited every houee in reaoh of tho sohool. building and those wishing to send subscribed as many scholars as tbs; thought thc; could send for ts??e term of five or ten months. The terms for tuition were $1 per month whether the pupil studied in his A. B. O's, or in Greek and Latin. When they started to sohool nothing but sickness prevented their going. They were not at sohool one or two days in a week and at home the remainder of tho. time for the time had to be paid for out of the parent's pocket. The toaoher opened sohool about two Jfrours by Bun with ten minutes recess at 10 a. m. and at 12 m. dinner, and play time as we call edit. * Spelling, reading, writing, geogra phy, grammar and arithmetic were in the principal studies. Every evening before sohool was dismissed the schol ars would be Hoad up to spelt in Th???? ot ilia head of the class remained there until turned downf or missed a day from Behool, and some of them were hard to down. The scholar's hack was the tesoher'i oard on which he wrote his demerits with a hickory switch, hut it Sure did hurt. Getting whipped at sohbol Was QOt the wornt r>&vL at >g for the parents would; repeat the dose wit I* a few extras thrown in for good measure. The rules of sohool were very strict and anyone who disobeyed them was oal'ed to the teacher's desk and punished. I have seen young mon quite as large as the teacher take his dose like a little man unless he preferred to be expelled from sohool. Play time lasted noWl* 1:30 p. m.. Tho gamea gloyed were town hall, sky ball, bull pen, prisoner's base and pl?tUes. Town hall was . played on a oir?is. Tho : bat was hat, resembling the battling;tsfciok used by our mothers when washing and the hall, was made out of ihxepA from an cjd s fco oki a g leg. When ibo one at the bat struck the bali and had to run yea could not Jl?||?m.u?le8B':ybu hit him with the ?^;?s^^sic'cf lb? boys were hara to hit.

Ono day in Dallas, Tex,, I while I was employed in tho Kimball j hotel, I heard that a oook was wanted by a theatrical company traveling in ft private oar. The owner of an em ployment agency told mo if I was a j man I could get $80 a month. That j gave me an idea. I bought a cheap I suit, out off my hair, and next day returned to tho agent and completely fooling the employment agent, was j hired for the theatrical company." j "I loved him and thought that with j his money and my little savings we could buy a restaurant and make al good living," said Marietta Jolley to" day, in her home at Sheffield. "Il Cannot believe he (she) is a woman. I thank God though that I did not j leave Kansas Oity with bim or her, I or, Oh! I don't know what to do.
