TO WASH A FLANNEL WAIST.
This ta not a difficult* task, even for
the inexperienced person, but like
everything of its kind, it needs a little
care to prevent the blouse shrinking.
First make some soap Jelly and dis
solve two tablespoanfuls of It in half a
gallon of warm water. Add one tea
spoonful of ammonia, and put tbe
blouse In this, letting It soak for about
ten mlnutee; wash tbe blouse in tbo
usual way, taking care to rub the parte
which are moat soiled; no soap must be
rubbed on the blouse. Squeese the
water out and wash the blouse in
fresh water prepared in the aame Way.
Put it through the ringer, then rinse it
in clear tepid water, to which ammo
nia has been added in the same propor
tion as to the lathei. Again put It
Ulrough the wringer; fold it evenly and
pass it through agalu and yet again.

. CARE OF BLANKETS.
No part of housekeeping should be
more sharply' looked after than that
which has to do with bods and bed
ding. Everything about a bed shonld
be aired thoroughly every dsy; and
everything should be kept up to the
top notch of cleanliness.
Hsttresses should be dusted daily,
for dust seems to go to them and cling
to them as if by some curious law of
attraction. They should be thorough
ly C9Ue over-j-taken apart and cleaned.
Inside and out, that ls-^gt leak* once in
thane yearn: Jftenlr, irpoftslMe. Every
good housekeeper cleans bed, springs
sn<f mattresses as regularly aa any
other part of her bouse, but compara
tively few realise bow Important It is
to have their mattresses opened and
cleaiied periodically.
Yet dust and dirt sift through tlefc
lng and collect In an alarming way.
Men who manipulate thoie cleaning
machines ("pickers") say that dust
from h single mattress Oiling comes
out In thick clouds during the opera
tion of cleaning.
Blankets should be ajrpd as persist
ently as mattresses? aired and shaken
vigorously every day.

4?td ?? Kxad Model or th? Craft.
The accompanying sketch will give
Americans a good Idea of the extraor
dinary craft which has Just been built
bj M. Vogt, the Danish engineer. In
an attempt to produce an exact model
of Noah's ark.
To assist blm In his task M. Vogt had
special translations made by distin
guished Hebrew 1st s of passages out of
the Hebrew scrlptu.*et; relating to the
ark, and got Ideas, too, from a repre
sentation of Noah's crntt on a coin
dated 300 B. C. which Is the property
of s musenm In Copenhagen.
Owing to the methods employed In Its
construction, doubt was expressed
from the first as to w.ietner M. Vogt's
crsft would float at all, let alone prove
sesvorfhy In a "blow." Popular In
credulity and ridicule, however, dis
turbed the builder not at all, and now
he hss good cause for satisfaction, for
his craft's trial trip the other day
proved a complete success. Carrying
as passengers its designer, several en
gineers, and a large party of newspa
per men, the ark not only showed Itself
perfectly seaworthy, but moved lightly
and quickly through the water.- In
fact, experts have declared that in spite
of her rudimentary design the strange
vessel Is the steadiest craft ever seen
on the high seas.
As nearly as M. Vogt Is able to Judge,
bis vessel. Is one-tenth the site of the
original Noah's ark and Is of shout 120
tons burden. Entering by one of the
side ports, one finds a surprising
amount of cabin space despite the low.

WATER BOTTLE IMPROVED.
Auxiliary Hea c.* Keeps Temperate re
Constant.
In the ordinary forms of water bogs
now in use the water falls in tempera
ture after several hours, and it is nec
essary to replenish with hot water.
This fall of the temperature, and the
time -lost in replenishing the supply, is
necessarily objectionable, and some
times in serious cases requires the con
stant attention of the nurse and a re
lay of bags. A recently Invented bag
maintains the temperature compara
tively uniform as long as desired. The
water reservoir is much the aama as
usual, except that it contains a beating
coil, which may be of rubber tubing.
A hot water kettle and stand Is also
provided, there being an Inlet and out
let for vapor, connected by rubber tub
ing with tfle coll within the water
bottle. The bag Is first fllfed with fiot
water, and then a gas Jet or oil lamp

vices being properly counocted. As

showed s rose of the same hue, but

was a narrow girdle of black velvet
