DOMESTIC.

WEARING APPAREL.-BOnnets should
not be allowed to lie around and gather
dust; but, after being taken from the
head. should be busted off, and the bows
and trimmings slaughtered, and then
laid away in their appropriate boxes.
If the feathers seem limp and slightly
uncurled, sometimes holding them over
the hot air of an open register will re-
store them. Wells, neck-ribbOns and
cravats will also keep fresh much
longer if carefully folded up and laid
away under a weight sufficient to keep
them in place. Soiled ribbons, in most
colors, can be restored by washing in
alcohol and water, and, instead of being
ironed, smoothed by being stretched
tightly upon a board, held in place by
pins, and wiped gently with a soft
handkerchief once or twice in drying.
Shoes are among the things that pay
for the care that is taken of them.
Upon taking them off do not leave them
in the shape of the foot, but smooth
them by stretching out the wrinkles
and bending the soles straight. If
buttons are lacking, sew them on i'm
mediately, and ii other repairs are
needed, have them attended to at once.
If the heels become worn down on one
side, let them be Strengthened without
delay. or the shoe will take an ugly or
permanent twift. Gloves, with many
people, are the objects of great abuse,
which is great mistake, because to be
well-gloved contributes very much
toward a lady-like appearance, and un-
less one can afford a constant procession
of new gloves it is desirable to keep the
old ones in order. When they are
taken off they should not be rolled up
together in lump, as is the custom
with many, but they must be pulled
and stretched lengthwise, and laid
away in box, like new gloves, with
out any folding. They should also be
kept repaired, for if rips on the finger
ends are neglected they soon get so
large that in mending them it is impos-
sible to restore the proper shape of the
fingers. When they are sOiled they
can be cleaned at home as well as at a
professional cleaner. Wash them in
benzine, rubbing and squeezing them
as freely as if it was cotton. Rinse
them in clean benzine Qf very dirty
they will have TO be rinsed several
tines wipe off some of the moisture
with a soft flannel, and hang them
over the stove TO dry. the heat will
dissipate the odor of the benzine much
sooner than exposure to the air.

NUMBER Al.
HOW HIGH is OUR Atmosphere

If the air gets less and less dense as it
is farther from the earth, where does It
stop altogether, We cannot go up TO
find out, because we should die long be-
fore we reached the limit. For a long
time we had to guess how high the atmos-
phere probably was, and it was generally
supposed not to be more than fifty miles.
But lately some curious bodies, which we
should never have suspected would be
useful to us in this way, have let us into
the secret of the height Of the atmos-
phere. The bodies are not really stars;
they are simply stones or Jumps Of metal
flying through the air, and taking fire by
clashing against the atoms of oxygen IN
it. There are great numbers Of these
masses moving round and round the sun,
and when our earth comes across their
path, as it does especially in August and
November, they dash with such tremen-
dous force through the atmosphere that
they grow white hot, and give out light.
and then disappear, melted into yapor.
Every now and then one falls TO the earth
before it is all melted away, and thus we
learn that these stones contain tin, iron.
sulphur, phosphorus and other substances.
1t is while these bodies are burning
that they look to US like falling stars, and
when we see them we know they must
be dashing against our atmosphere. Now
if two people stand certain known dis
tance apart on the earth-say fifty miles
and observe these meteors and the dl-
rection in which they see them fall, they
can calculate, by means Of the angle be-
tween the wodirections, how high theyare
above them when they first see them, and
at that moment they must nave struck
against the atmosphere. and even tray-
eled some way through it to become white
hot. In this way we have learned that
meteors burst into light at least one hun
dred miles above the surface of the earth;
and so .he atmosphere must be more than
one hundred miles high.-.Hss BUckirys

Lively stock Operations.

The current of recent events has given
great impetus to business i'll Wall
street, and many successful turns are
reported where immense profits are
made in short periods. The most sue
cessful way that we have heard of yet
for operating in stocks is by the Com
bination Method of Messrs. Lawrence
81 Co, Bankers, New York. By this
system thousands of orders in various
sums are pooled into one vast
capital and operated under the
most experienced and skillful manage
ment, thus securing to each sharehol-
der superior advantages and profits
not possible in any other way. Profits
are paid at end of so days. A gentle
man in Boston, made $747,3O on an
investment offs 500. Many others are
doing as well or better. Capital in any
amount from so to 100000 can be
used with equal proportionate success
by this Combination or C0-operative
Method. SIS would make S75, or 5
per cent. on the stock; $1O0 would re-
turn 5000, or 9per cent. during the
month, and so on, according to the
market. The new circular contains
two unerring rules for success and
full information. 50 that any one can
operate with profit. Stocks and bonds
wanted. Government bonds supplied.

Last Nights Dispatches.
WASHINGTON.
Democratic Ca ucus.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The advisory
committees of the Senate and House Dem
ocratic caucuses held joint meeting OF
about four hours duration this afternoon,
with view Of framing recommendation
on the subject of providing appropriations
for the next years judicial expenses, but
adjourned until tomorrow morning with
out reaching any point of action. A large
part of todays session was consumed in
the discussion of the propriety of the stand
taken by the Senate caucus yesterday.
Several of the members of the House COM
mite condemned it with great earnest
ness, and we're replied to by Judge Thur
man, who occupied about two hours IN ex-
pressing his views in opposition to the
proposition to adjourn Congress without
another attempt to provide tor the Judi
cial expenses. He was followed by other
Senators, who spoke in the same strain
Although no action was taken at this Joint
| meeting the indications Of the debate
pointed with a great degree OF probability
| toward the ultimate adoption of the fol
lowing plan: That the bill be divested oil
lts appropriation of 100000 for lees OF
| Unlted States Marshals and their deputies
and OF the legislation relating to little TWEEN
ty-slx OF the Revised Statutes concerning
deputy maTshals of elections, be passed
with ali It's remaining fixtures unaltered
| Closely following which there would bf
sent to the President for his approval OF
rather for his expected veto, separate
| bill made up Of the 100000 item aud the
other clauses above indicated. 1t is ar
gued that by this means the courts would
be provided for and the marshals, 10 tn
anticipated event of veto of the supple
mental bill, would continue to perform
| their functions, and look forward to tn
passage of deficiency bill for their relic
next winter.
One Of the several plans considered ad
vocated an immediate adjournment with
out preparing another BILL This PROPOSE
ton was supported by the House Commit
tee and opposed by the Senate members
A member Of the committee, although
personally opposed to separating the bills
said tonight that the sentiment of the ma
ljority appeared decidedly in favor of !,
and while he could not make positive as
sertion, he felt confident III at such pia
would be adopted early tomorrow 1t j
thought By memb bers of the committe
that the agreement reached by them vii
be submitted to Joint caucus Of the tw
Houses before any action is taken in IL
House.
Owing 10 the absence of several Of th
original members of the Advisory Com
mittees. new members have been added y
follows: Senator Morgan takes the plac

CHICAGO, June 24.-The Bohemian
sharpshooters we're examined in the West
Side Police Court this morning, and a
further continuance, without bail, for a
week was granted to await the result of
wounds received by Donahue at their
hands Sunday. Late this afternoon an
attorney for these nineteen prisoners ap-
peared before Judge McAllister with nine
teen separate petitions for a writ Of habeas
corpus, showing that the petitioners were
all poor, and could only prosecute their
case as paupers An order was accord
ingly made, allowing them the right OF
hearing without costs. Their petition de-
cares that they are held without authority
of the law for supposed criminal matter
the precise nature whereof is unknown to
the petitioners. They ask a preliminary
examination by the court for the purpose
of ascertaluing whether they are entitled
to bail. They will be heard tomorrow.
