All kinds of mending done here,
SARAH JANE SMITH,
900 Prospect Street.


A little practice would soon enable
the member to fix on a price that would
be satisfactory, and she could keep on
hand a small stock of material for mend
ing and save her customers time and
money; new bosoms in shirts, new
sleeves in garments, children's gar
ments kept in order and broadcloth
darned. Our young men have system
of invisible patches established by the
mother of invention, and succeed on
with Spaldings's glue, which is very risky
to say the least. No young man in
hundred dares to sneeze. He knows if
he did he would share the fate of the
deacon's one-horse shay-he would fly
to pieces
"All at once and nothing first,
Just as bubbles do when they burst"
These members would find larger jobs
coming in after their skill was known;
merchants would send them shop-work;
sail-makers and the manufacturers of
awnings need repairers constantly; car
pet-mcnding is an art of itself and pays
well; table-cloths and napkins are al
ways in need of overhauling; pillows
and bed-ticks furnish an ample field.
But return we to our sheep, as the
French say-that is, to the young men
who wear stockings darned by them
selves, and by nobody else-sowed up
into islands and isthmuses of shipwreck.

takes up all the threads in fine lace
work stitch and leaves no rough edges
such woman would, indeed, be
worth her weight in gold to long suf-
fering community. She would knit
up the raveled sleeve of care" with
tender hands. Our young men would
no longer be compelled to do daily
penance almost equal to wearing dried
pease in their shoes-drawing on their
tooth-pick patent feathers over heelless
and toeless stockings. There was an
eccentric old gentleman once who used
to brag that he had worn one pair of
stockings for twenty-five years. Said
he, cas- soon as the feet wore out my
wife knit new feet to the legs, and when
the legs wore out she knit new legs to
the feet" This preservative quality is
very much needed in the economy of
homeless people. But there are no
doubt many who will agree with the
woman who never mended rent "be-
cause" she said, "a rent might have
just happened, but darn is prcmcdi-
tatcd poverty" A clumsy darn or patch
is certainly a great trial to encounter,
but the coming professional member will
copy tho dusky savage of the plains,
who, when she mends the travellers
blanket or Buffalo robe, cmbroiders the
rent with her many colored beads and
makes of that place the strongest and
most beautiful part Of the fabric.
On the principle that ''small service
Is true service while it lasts;' the mend
er has as good profession to follow as
the scamstress or the watch repairer.
artistic patching is Just as necessary
as artistic fitting" The member will
condcscend to put a facing on lady's
dress, or make new pair of sleeves for
less than the first cost Of the dress, and
the people who are now keeping soul
and body together with Spalding's glue
will enjoy the pleasure of being hand
scwed in the most satisfactory manner.

country a "beasle stone" 1t has the
property, when subjected to heating
process in new milk, of extracting poi
