II YOU have any old muslin dresses
that are good, and still are faded and so
unfit to wear, it is a good time to try
the experiment of bleaching them, and
if of good quality they will do much SER
vice as common white dresses. Most of
the delicate hued muslins can be
bleached by boiling them in strong
soap-suds, aud then laying them on the
grass for a day OF two; others may have
weak ammonia added to the water.

putting a row OF studdlng inside the

it. The object is to make a space of

A PEcULtAB FAoULTY OF ANIMALS -
It is well known that some domestic
animals, notably dogs and cats taken to
a distance of many miles from home.
even when carried closely covered IN 3
basket or in a bag, will readily hud
their way home within a few hours
Many remarkable instances OF tins are
recorded, and few persons are without
facts of this nature which have come
within their " observation or directly
to their knowledge from others. what
is it that enables these animals t. re-
trace the path by which they have been
carried blindfolded. This is a query
which has never been satisfactorily
answered. We recently saw an ezpia-
nation offered by an eminent scientific
man. which only eryes to illustrate the
extreme simplicity Ct some men OF SCI

dog or cat even when carried in a bask
ct or a bag notes all the different smells
thai it passes through, and reversing
the order, follows the tram back,
straight to It's former home.

ding:
II am going to show you that a

The thermometer was at zero, and
the man pranced around like a crazy

reply had not been gone two hours
when he received a second, which
said
Enclosed you will find the shipping
bill of the car load of apples. Don't

Where Canada Leads the States.

I'm speaking of Canada and every
thing pertaining to the country, in
GLIDING the government Americans
generally make the remark that we
are one hundred years behind the age, y
said a prominent Canadian police Of
fetal to reporter for the Detroit Free
Press
"There may be some truth in the
statement" he continued, "but in the
administration of criminal justice |
am OF the opinion that Canada leads
Michigan, if not any of the states in
the union. Last March when Ash
man, Kuhn and Bowels escaped from
the house of correction at Ionia, |
among others received a circular from
Warden Watkins, offering 1926 re
ward for their capture, or SIS for the
capture of either of them. Unfortun-
atelv for me, however, they did not
come my way, but a few days after
the escape they were captured by
Chief Bains and the Windsor police.
The annoyance and expense attending
their extradltion and return to the
United States were very great, but
that was not the fault of the Windsor
police, who did all that was possible
to get rid of the desperate trio. When
they were safely Gagged at Detroit, and
the time for settling the bills, Chief
Bains received a check for SIS, one
third of the promised reward, and
since then has heard nothing more Of
the men, except that Bowles and Kuhn
were back at Ionia and Ashm2u stands
a good chance of being sent down for
a long term.
"There is no just reason why the
Windsor police should not receive the
remaining $3.50 due them. They per
formed all that was required of them,
and the money should be paid.
Escapes from Ionia are not unfre-
quent, and as rule the criminals
cross the river at the first opportunity.
If the prison officials desire the CO.
operation of the Canadian police they
should fulfill all promises. even If
they are expensive. Otherwise they
can not expect any assistance from us
in the future"

GOSSIP FOR GIRLS.
How They should Wear Their skirts,
Dress Their Hair, and So On.

harpefS Bazaar.
Girls IA years old wear their skirts
long enough to come within two
inches of their shoes; those of 16 years
old have them reach TO the ankles.
A good foundation skirt of alpaca is
in most dresses, and the overskirt and
lower skirt are draped upon this.
There is pad hustle and short steel
spring across the back breadth in
many dresses, but these must be very
small or they will be obtrusive and
ungraceful. Extremely narrow and
very wide kilt plaits are used for
girls skirts; others have wide double
plaits all around, with one passing up
TO the belt on the left side over tAe
apron. Full gathered back breadths,
with braided panels on the sides and
box-plaited fronts, ale stylish skirts.
Large buttons sometimes take the
place of braid on the panels. A wide
band of plush or velvet, or many
rows of Hercules braid, are placed
around the plated skirts of wool
dresses.
Girls of 16 wear their front hair in
short bang that may be either
straight or waved, and their back hair
in low Catagon loop, which is a
thick braid of three tresses turned up
ward to the nape of the neck and tied
there with a rihboT. The long hang.
| ing Gretchen are again worn in either
one or two plaits by girls from 10
years upward; these are left unplaited
at the ends, and are tied with ribbons
above the loose, hHfy ends. Flow
ing tresses are less used than former
ly, and when worn by large girls they
are confined by ribbon at the nape
Of the neck, instead of falling
straight from the crown. Small
children wear short bang that does
Tot extend far on the sides, and then
falls straight down the sides and back
onto the neck; tress on the top, just
back of the bangs, is tied with ribbon
to kesp it back, instead of using g
round comb. Short cropped hair IS
also worn again, and is commended,
as it strengthens and thickens the
hair.
Standing linen collars and gathered
linen frills are worn in the neck and
wrists of misses dresses, and also by
young girls, as their dresses are now
finished with a standing band. For
the street white embroidered muslin
necktie is worn, tied in very large
bow. The large embroidered collars
are still worn by small children.

Bazaine is living in that city in state
of actual want. His wife, who was
Mexican heiress, has left him, taking

claim on any one in the world it was
the Empress. He wrecked his own
career and ruined his life by his feryld
Bonapartism. And she, who has now
no actual claim upon her, having
neither family nor friends, might very
well have afforded tosettle an annuity
on the old soldier, who was too ardent
an Imperialist to be a genuine patriot.

1t is place where a husband comes

It's place where a wife reigns in
