Death In The Dishcloth

A lady iu the Run I World says : "lf are bhok and stiffaod iinell like ii barn yard - it unough- -throw tliem in the lire and heooeibrlh and forever f a?h yonr dUhes with cldtha iba) are wfcito, elotha il,;it pou a ¦ thiouh, nmi Le i you over have tbat duMM again. There un soruetitnes other causes, but I havo mii. lied a wholu house full of typhoid fever in ooe 'dMirug.' I luid tome inixlibors ¦ ¦lice - clever, good sort of fblks ; one lull tour of tluin wiic nek at one titue with typhoid lever. The doctor ordcred the vin eg ar barrels whitewuhed, and tlirew about forty oeota worth of carbolic acid in the swill-pail and dep.irtment. I went into the kiti-hcn and made ;iuol - I aeedëj ;i disholoth, and looked arouod and f'ound i v ira!, and stieh 'ragsl' I batricd tliem all, and callod a daofhter of (lic booM to i me a dishcloth. She looked around on tüe table. "VVhy," said she, "there was about a dozen about here llii.s morninR," and .she looked in the wood box and on the uiantlepiece, and feit in the cupboard. "VVell," I said, "I saw some old black rotten rags lying around and l burned them - for there ia death in sueli dishcloths as thoM, and you must never use such again." I took turns nuring that fainily for weeks, and I belicve those dirty dihcloths were the cause of all that hard work. Therefore, [ say to every housekocper, keep your dttbolotba olean. You niay only bruxh and comb your liair on Sandttyl , you Deed Q0( wvu a collar unloss you eo trom home - but you must wash your disholotkA You niay only sweep the ttoor when tlie sun gets right ; the windaws don't need washitig- ym enn look out of toe door; thut RDider's weo on the front porob dun't hurt anything - but asyoulove your lives wa.sh out your dishcloth. Let the foxtaii grasa grow in the garden (the Md is a foot deep anyway) let the holes in the lieels of your busband'l lootrags go undarued . ; let the gage go unjtatlieïed ; lel the öbifdrett'l shocs o two Sundays without blaeking; let llie beu set four weeks on one wDcnen ogg- but do wash out your disholoths. K:ü without a tableoloth ; wash your faces and Iet. thetn dry ; do witliout a curtain lor your windows and cake for your tea - -but for heaven's sake keep your dislicloths clean.
