With the growth in nuiriber and business of the public laundry coroe a study by the associations mt laundry -owners of the science of laundering. The laundry subjects the fabrics to no rougher usage than the home laundress does, and usually gets the fabrics cleaner. The user injures fabrics so that a trip to the laundry' merely serves to Vring out the injury Sticking pans Into doth usually breaks a few fibres, j which later give way during washing | and start a hole- Catching a shirt : mall* on a rough place in the form- j tare, or bed linen on the corner of J a wpring, will cause a small tear or ■tain ii a few fibres, which even gentle laundering will break and use as the start of a tear or a hole- Cutting bread <m the tabSedotlh or drawing a knife edge or fork prongs over the! tablecloth and napkins causes almost A invisible injuries which the laundry ^ is mire to make viable. Occasionally the fabric itself is at tank. The thread in one direction may be excellent, hut in the "filling" may be paper or other inferior material. Knotted threads in the sec- * ond quality of fabrics cause trouble, as the knots stand out and get rough treatment in use or in ironing, tearing the thread and starting a fault which subsequent launderings accentuates Cloth may he improperly dyed so that the chemicals used or the process of dyeing weakens the doth appreciably. The laundryman causes damage in wme cases, but usually the fault is with the fabric or with the use to which it has been subjected. — Albert Parsons Sachs in The New York Ev- j ening Mail.

had orighsmn pagan festivai CUSTOM OF CHOOSING A VALEN TINE 18 ANCIENT. Father* of Christianity Modified th Practical, Which Th*y Ware Unable Entirely to Eradicate. St. Valentine's day Is the 14th 01 February, and singularly ominous to lovers. St. Valentine la said to have been a bishop who suffered martyrdom .under the Roman emperor, Claudius, or else under Aurellan In 271. Like many another seml-Christlai custom, the day set apart to the mem ory of St. Valentine In the Christiai calendar Is an^ld pagan festival upol which, our ancestors oelleved that tin birds ctiose their mutes lor the comlni year. This, at least, is the common]; received version of our modern custon of "choosing a valentine" on the 14t! of February nml of sending a billet doux or u fancy valentine through tin mall to some favored one. In old Rome, the 15th of Februarywas the festival of Juno Februatn ' (Judo the fructlf.verL aud the Rpnian church substUijt^d-'St. Valentine for the heathen goddess. At that festival, called "Lupercalia," It was then customary, among other ceremoulo to put the names of young women Int. a box, front which they were drawt by the men as .chance directed. The Christian clergy, finding It dlf firult or impossible to extirpate tin pa gun practice, and In accordant-, with their general principle to eradl rate the vestiges of pagan superstitloi by retaining the ceremonies but modi *vlng their significance, gaye it a re iigloua aspect by. substituting tb< name* of particular saints for thps.' of women. The' taints whose names were drawn were propose^, for Imitation to the persons who received the slips of paper whereon they wefe written, and In many religious houses where this custom still prevails, oar! member of the community preserve' his billet during the year, as an Incite ment to Imitate the virtues aud tn voko the special intercession of hli holy Talentlne. ThU Innovation, however, namely the substitution of tbr names of aulntfor the names of lovers, could no please the young people forever "IYiough the clergy repeatedly forbadthe custom of valentines and nrdereo the use of cards with saints' name*, the old pagan custom could not be abolished. The boys and girls triumphed over the saints, and In the [ end the girls triumphed -over the hoys wresting from them their exrlustv. privilege of choosing mates. Hie old custom of drawing names It tn this day ebaerved In many parts o: Kngland and Scotland In the foltowlnj manner: A number of clips of papei with tbe names of an equal uumbe of men and women are shuffled ant drawn, so each young man has a val entlne In the person of a youni maiden, and escb maiden draws 1 young man whom she calls hem. Ibi valentine* give each other gifts, and often this little sport ends In love and marriage. FEBRUARY FOURTEEN X2S232XZCC7 TX'K/vnvc,

Oh, ware ye all, my maidens fair. And ware ye, gentlemen. For there Is danger in the air Now Cupid's come again. Encase your hearts in adamant, At\d guard them round about.
