How to Make a Coat

A female correspondent of the RuraL
Neao Yorker tells how to make coat,
which we transcribe for the benefit Of our
readers who are that way inclined:
Having cut the coat, commence and
sew up all the seams except those that
join the fronts to the back, and press
them. Fit the opening. in the canvas to
tho'e in the outside; then close the
openings with an overstitch over a strip
of linen an inch in width; then prepare a
double strip of linen, one inch in width,
and fasten it to the canvas under the
thread mark for the buttons, with semi
cross stitch; then carefully Overstitch the
canvas to the lapel on the body of
the coat; then Gampen and pres. and
haste the whole canvas to the outside,
so as not to cramp it.
Then mark and cut the pOcket-hOle, and
insert the pockets, with another coat be-
fore you as guide; then sew the seam
in the back OF the lining, haste the wad-
ding on the wrong side and some thin
cloth over the wadding to come next to
the outside of the coat; quilt this lining
according to your fancy, and basic the
outside to it.
LII basting, lay down the lining and
place the outside over it so as not to get
the lining too close fitting for the out
side. Basic the wadding to the front
lining with thin cloth between them and
the OUTSIDE, ana quit. 1heR sew up Ine
seams in the outside that join the fronts
to the back and press them; then sew
these seams in the lining together, i,av-
ing the front of the lining come under
the facings smoothly; base and sew
down the facing, then join the shoulder
seams; press and face the inside seams
one upon another.
Face the slice, es at the hand and sew
them in; have the outside or only seam
half way between the seams of the back.
and the fullness begin two inches in front
of the shoulder seam. and continue to
within three inches of the middle of the
sleeve; then press this seam on the round
end of the press board then press the
canvas if necessary, and haste with small
stitches to the seam of the coat and hem
the sleeve lining to it; then hem the lin
ings to the hand facings; then haste the
stiffening to the lower side of the collar
stitch the lower part in straight lines
then Overstitch on the canvas side the
part that turns over; then press and
break the collar to its proper shape; then
Over-baste the cover to the break; haste all
around, turn in and hem the collar to it
sew the under-side of the collar to the
outside of the coat; press, fasten the
lining to it and hem down the cover.
Stitch around the coat and cut the button
holes, and work them over a cord of linen
thread, four double. Press and sew on
the buttons and loop at the back on the
inside, and hang it up.

TeIegraphing by Sound through Water.

In 1928 Sturm and ColladOn made a Sc
ries of experiments at Lake Geneva,
Switzerland, to determine the rate of
transmission of sound through water.
The sounds were produced by striking
bell suspended from boat at a suitable
depth in the water, while the observers
We're stationed in another boat at a dis
lance and received the sOnOrOus impress
sions through long metallic tube, the
lower end of which was closed by men,
brane and immersed at a considerable
depth in the water. In these expert
ments the bell weighed about one hum
hired and thirty pounds and the sound
was heard at distance of about Il, GOO
wards.
During the recent siege of Paris the at
tempt was made to obtain Geographic
communication with the provinces by this
device of transmits sion of sound through
water, and the Minister of Public Works
confided the necessary experiments to Nj.
Lucas, who reports the following results:
The experiments were conducted as in
the former instance and made in the Xiv
er Seine. Two bells were employed, one
of about eighty pounds and the other of
seven hundred pounds weight. In the
case of the first the sound was transmit
ted to a distance of about 1,SO0 yards,
while i'm the case OF the second or larger
bell only to 1,500 yards. There was
therefore no advantage gained by the in
crease in the size of the bell-in fact there
was a loss. The great diminutiOn in the
distance to which the sound was convey
ed in his experiments is accredited by nj.
Lucas to want of depth in the waters of
the Seine as compared with those of Lake

As the dusk was gathering the watch

the house. angered and Borrowing, to
shut out the hateful sight. They might

before his eyes, but they should find that
he would keep his word.
The meeting of Phil and Julia was
somewhat embarrassing to both at hrst,
but they read each other quickly, and in
a few minutes were talking easily. SO
good-humored did they become. so fair
was their understanding at once, that ere
thew parted they told their Immediate
plans and purposes. and each congratula-
ted the other with a laugh.
But on the morning OF the tnlrd Gay
there came news indeed-news fully an
ticipated by everybody Cd speaking terms
with the Diegles-news that 'lulla, aiter
long general acquaintance and short en-
gagement, had been married on the prece-
ding evening to certain enthusiastic
cooper. Phil INDUCED in a moderate
laugh and Mr.. HOskin in wise silence.
The fact was, when the former began the
study of rhetoric Julia found such diff
Guilty in understanding and enjoying his
letters that their correspondence had dled
a natural death.
At the close of Commencement-weeka
bright little party, with few lingering
students, assembled in the morning sun
shine on the quaint old Green; plain
man, whose daily business needed
younger hand than his own, descended
from his carriage to give away his daugh-
ter: a fragrance of roses and violets was
in the air Phil Hoskin, in strictly prop
er suit. with a beautiful young woman on
his arm, marched in a strictly proper
manner UP the cool aisle of Center
Church; silence succeeded the tender mu-
sic that welcomed them at the sacred
threshold; they uttered the most mo
lips; the venerable pastor invoked
the blessing OF Almighty God;
and richer, loftier music waited them again
into the morning sunshine.
They had first seen each other, as the
bride supposed, in that same church,
where the unknown freshman began the
skillful tactics by which he won her: But
Phil remembered how a womanly girl, re-
turning from summer travel, once glanced
from a car window at lonely station,
causing a dreamful boy to treasure hope
lessly the vision of he- smiling face.
Mr., Hoskin exhibited sufficient generOs-
ity, as soon as he saw that Phil no longer
needed it, and made his will accordingly.
The latter looks forward to the day when
he will build house where his fathers
stands, construct line fences that cannot

Mr.. Greeley's Contested Will.

Mr.. Greeley's contested will gives uni
versal pain. Poor, troubled soul! In
life he freely gave away the greater por-
ton of all he had. Otherwise he might
have died worth a million of dollars. The
little that he left why not leave to his or
phan daughters in peace? The story is
trumped up that the Roman Catholics be-
hind Ida Greeley are struggling for this
last will. How absurd! When Mr.. Gree
ley found that lie had lost tens of thou
sands within single year, and felt the
premonition that his two young daughters
were about to be left Orphans, what a nat
ural impulse that he should revoke all
other wills and leave the m all that he had
Lila Greeley has the nature as well as the
face of her father. who all mis- life was
generosity itself. Why not leave her, then,
in peace to administer the bequest and to
fulfill the trust committed to her by the
father who loved her so much and who
trusted her so perfectly? If ever daugh-
ter deserved well of father and mother, it
is Ida Greeley. Only those who know
personally how heavy have been The bur
dens carried by her ever-ministering
hands, how deep and abiding the sorrow
borne by her young heart from child
hood, can know how utterly she deserves
the fullness of her fathers dying legacy.

Too Much Credit.

Mr.. Keene, a shrewd and thrifty farmer
of Marlborough, owned large Hook OF
sheep, and one autumn, when 1t came
housing time, he was greatly annoyed
upon missing number OF his finest mutt
tons; among them three or four wethers
which he had raised and fattened for bis
own table. He was sure it was not the
work of dogs, and the most he could do
was to await further developments.
On the following String, when his sheep
were turned out to pasture, he instituted
a careful watch, and ere long he detected
Tom Stickney, nei9hborln% farmer, IN
the act of pilfering sheep; but he made
no noise about it at the time. Stickney
was man well-to-do, and keene did not
care to expose him.
Autumn came again, and upon count
ing up his flock, Mr.. Keene found eight
sheep missing. He made out bill in due
form to Thomas Stickney for the eight
and stammered, but did not back down;
Like prudent man he paid the Dill ana
pocketed the receipt.
Another spring-time came, and MT.
| Keene's sheep were again turned OUT.
Another autumn came, and the farmer
this time fifteen sheep were missing. AS
before, he made out the bill to Tom Stick
| ney for the whole number missing; but
this time Tom objected.
"Itis too much ola good thing" said he.
:. Fifteen sheep! Why, bless your soul, L
hadn't had Il fifth part of 'em."
Mr.. keene was memorable.
'.There is the bill.'' said he, ''and L
have made it out in good faith. l have
made no fuss when my sheep have been
missing. because l deemed your credit
good and sufficient
Well,'' groaned Tom, with big gulp,

ahead in 3ronauticS. so far as distance

The BEEoHER- Triton SCANDAL
Few if any, intelligent people would
have been found tobelieve the Wood
hull charged against Mr.. Beecher.
But recent publications show only
too plainly that they did not origi-
nate with her, and confirm the con-
victions ofthose who have believed
from the first that it was and is
grave mistake for Mr. Beecher to
meet them with silence, on he ground
that his accusers are to vile for recoO-
milton. Reputable papers published
only illusions to the stories that are
afoat, but the disreputable ones, like
the Chicago Times, gloat over the
garnished details, and industriously
fan the suspicion that there is con-
spiracy OF. the christian community to
suppress the facts. We say it reluc-
family but confidently, that the world
will be compelled to believe that
