THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY OCTOBER, 10, 1879. WASHING- FLANNELS. A lady correspondent writes as follows : I will Kie J'i a I'f'le ol my experience in washing flannels. I whs taught to wash them in hot water, but it is a great mis. tike, la Italy my flannels were a won der to me) they always came home from the wish bo Bolt and white. I learned that the Italian women washel them in told water. Many a time I have watched them kneeling in a box which lm l one end taken out to keep them oat of the mud, hy the bink nf a stream, washing id the miming water, and drying on the fcank or travel, without boiling im I tuver had washing done butter, and 11 in tools never half so well. I tried it since, nod find the secret of nice soft flmnels to 'be the washing ol them in cold or luke warm water and plenty ol stretching be lore lunging out. "W00D3SFULL OF EM." In Wayne Couuty, Texas, lived a well Renown character, named Bill Dean, lie was always endeavoring to perpetrate a )"ke at somebody's expense. One day, while riding to Rchmond, every loot o' which he kuew, he spied ao old geutleman named Cbetzum, accoutred for hunt, earnestly looking up a tree. Approaching him, Dean asked : " "Can eo tell me the way to Rich. tnnmi I" 'There was two of 'cm run np this tree." "was the response of the old gentleman who Was somewhat deaf. 'I didn't ask ynu anything about squirrels. How lar is it to Richmond ?'' "One of 'eui just went in that hole ; didn't ynu see him?"' the old uan mid. earnestly. Out of patience Dean yelled out, ''You mut be an old fool I" "Yes," Uheczum responded, still gazing Upward, 'tho woods is full ol em." A NAME FOIMIH "ESTATE, What is a name wuith I A good deal apparently in the esse ol Allred fennyu. who is ao lully alive to the limbic charm ol bis patronymic that he tins declined to become the heir of cer aln estates in Iiincolnshire rather than exchange it for that of Turner. The laureate's elder bro ther inheiited Grasby II til and some neigh boring la ma many yean hark, an t for the sake ol the 1.000 or 3 000 a year which they yielded he Entirely dropped the Ten nyson and became the Rjt. Charles Turner, a name which stands on the title page ol bis book of sonnets. He died a few months ago, leaving no issue, and his wile ollowed hi in to the grave within a fev weeks. The next heir is the lauieale, but he will not accept the condition which Ilgoiounly enfeices the entire suppression ol the Tennyson. Donbtless there will bu found a brother or a nephew, 11 not a son, williDg to lorego the prestige attached to Ihe family name for the sake ol a comfor table inheritance, but the succession is still, I believe, unsettled. London Tiuth, ICE AH jTb EIGHT S DISEASE. The latest medical theory we have seen 'about Origin's disease of the kidneys Is 'tlutdt 'is largely caused by the excessive 'use-ol iced water and iced d'inks, and its wide prevalence in this country is thus explaiued. It is surprising how much ikidneycoinplaint there is here, and how (went vpropr.rtion ol all the deaths occur therehom, Bright's disease i9 com para tively uncnminon in JLurniw. owing, it is ssseited, to the verv small se there of ice and iced diinka. We are pi one to think that Europeans do not 'Use ice lieely because they aie unwilling to piy for luxuries. But they are opposed to ire, many ol thetn at least, on hygienic pi in ciples ; they are afraid ol it, particularly the i icuch ana Ocrinans, whe can sel dom be persuaded to touch it. They like beer and wine oool, but not ice cold, believing that to diink beer and wiua at such a tempeiatuie as we d link them inut do irrepaianle harm. It is Paid that seventy live per cent, ol Blight's disease .kuown to civiltziUon occurs hero, and that we use nearly ninety per cent, ol all the ico used in the woi Id. These two facts are significant : but w'tiethsr thry stand related to one another as caute ami illec.l has not been clearly detci mined. The al .most general prevalence of the tenihle malady in the Uniltd States is startling. There must he some sprciat rcan tor it, and it behooves Americans who are such .sufferers to tiy to tiud cut what ihe remuu is. TWO GIRLS' TEURIELE FLIGHT.
