Sound Prrf Only Mad on Bssls of RJ Knowledge Improvement Work Should Bo Don Slowly, Me- . thodically and Scientifically. - A great deal In mild these days about drlc Improvement This la a bla term and cover a multitude of things some art, some science, some philanthropy and wm bumbns;. Altogether, bo ever, civic Improvement la a good tliliiK'. The rural neighborhood perhaps need systematic, scientific and ayrupa uicuc improvement mora than any other part of the American world. Civic Improvement, understood In Ha beat sense, la coming to be a recog nlzed sclenos with various arUatlc as pecta. Certain fundamental principles re now widely recognized, and these principles should be early apprehended by tboM who wlah to ae country neighborhoods enjoy the beat of every thin. First of all, It rauHt be understood that real Improvement must Ixj funda mental. Any dealing with snjierfkliil details la apt to be disappointing. The simple establishment of a Carnegie 11 brary or a trolley line lu a community will not reform everything. There must be a jceneral movement compre- bendlug better roads, better acboola, better libraries, better cburcboa, bettor morals, cleaner politics, better houses. Biore homelike grounds, better aanlta tlon and water aupply, better health, better everything, aaya a writer In the Country Gentleman. The great trouble u that these public movements ire usually beaded by cranks. Ono town will be exploited by the good roads crank, aaother will be taken In band by lb political reform etub, another by the W. C. T.

Of course, If women ran afford to have furriers do this work they nerd not be so particular about preventing their muffs, collarettes or capos from Kettln soiled, but when the cleansing must be done at home too much care cannot be taken to keep them clean, for the process of cleaning ermine, coney, Angora or any of the white furs, real or Imitation. Is a long, tedloua one. that takes much strength. To begin with, they must be put out on a line and well sunned and oirea for a day or two. then they must be whipped gently yet firmly with a rat tan stick until no dust files when they are pounded, says the Washington Star. When the loose dirt is out the furs may again be linns on a line In the sunshine, while a bath of white sand and furrier's sawdust, mired half and half, is heated In an oven. When hot the pieces must be put into this cleanser and the sand and sawdust rubbed well Into the fur. The sand when hot loosens the grease and dirt from the fur and the sawdust absorbs It. If after one such rubbing tbe fur does not look as clean as Is desired the process should be repeated. When the dirt Is out the garment or muff must again be pounded with a rattan stick to get out the sand and sawdust. Following this beating the fur should be placed in a pan filled with cornstarch or plaster of paris, which must be rubbed thoroughly Into IL After either whltener has ben work ed well Into the pieces the furs must again bo put out of doors and whipped with a atlck to get out the white duat, for If not shaken or beaten the plaster of parla or cornstarch will rub off on the clothing, which la unpleasant. With chinchilla little can be done toward cleansing, except a gentle beating with a rattan stick. And this whipping must be lightly done, for the skin la so fine and tears so easily that a woman cannot be too careful In the beating, and tbe best plan Is to have them cleaned by a furrier. Beaver, mink and many of tbe furs with heavy skins are cleaned exactly as are tbe ermine and other white pieces, with tbe exception of the final nibbing en of cornstarch or piaster of parts. Tbe first beating to get ont the dost, the airing and bath of white sasd and sawdust must be given these furs to properly cleanse them. Pony coats may b successfully eleaned In the same way. With the heavy long furs, auch aa A 1 art a sable,' raccoon aad oposfmm, the string and pounding with a heavy rattan stick are essential, but the hot sawdust ami sand are omitted for the nse ef a comb with short teeth, known as a "furrier's comb." Babies, like chinchillas, must be carefuny treated, and the safest plan is te send them to an expert when they need cleaning.
