Suggestions for Ladies' Who Know Bul
Little About Patching and Darnirg.

Suggestions for Ladies' Who Know But
Little About Patching and Darnirg.
The people in this world who get
beyond theSuse of patches on gar
ments are few and exceedingly foolish.
We formerly knew the wife, now de-
ceased, of millionaire who, to her
dying day. took great pride in her
ability TO patch clothes neatly, not
from parsimonious motives, but be-
cause she was a very sensible woman.
Our esteem for the lady was all the
greater on this account
Bat not every one is able to neatly
lay patch or darn a rent who may
desire to do so, hence we advance 3
few helpful suggestions: In patching,
start by cutting piece of material of
size slightly larger than to complete
ly cover the worn place. Cut it &c
curately by the thread; nothing looks
more untidy than crooked patch
with unshapely corners.
Next turn in a narrow fold on the
four sides of the patch, lay it in place
outside the worn part and tack fast.
Sew it on all around. either like a
seam, or else fell it. If it lies close
and fiat the lacking threads may then
come away.
Now the work must 60 on from the
wrong side. by first cutting away the
worn piece, leaving enough margin to
turn in as for hem. Cut little hicks at
the corners to allow it to lay flat, and
fell it all around. The corners should
be as well shaped as are those of the
patch. To have the piece square on
the right side, and then an ili-shaped
circle of much smaller dimensions ON
the wrong side, as one sometimes sees,
is to spoil the work, so far as looks 90.
To neatly match the stripes or figure
of the garment by the new material Is
one-half in doing fine patching. When
patch is completed lay an old hand
kerchief or other thin cloth over it and
press out with hot iron.
Flannel may be mended in the same
way as described. only that instead of
the edges being folded in, leave flat,
and instead of being felled they should
be herring boned all round.
Sheets and similar articles that are
worn thin by long use, and are too
weak to patch must be darned. For
this, real darning cotton, not that used
for stockings, but soft, fine article
made for the purpose. should be used.
When darning take quite half an
inch extra on either side, and not just
the very thin place itself ana that only.
If so done there is danger of the
mended part not getting through the
first wash without breaking out. By
running several lines of strong sewing
cotton round the thin part before do
ING the darning it will strengthen the
foundation greatly, and will not show
afterwards.
Use long, fine darner for fine
fabrics, thicker one for coarser cloth.
Take a thread and miss two threads
uniformly. going straight across.
Leave a moderate loop at the end to
allow for shrinking, turn and 60 back
again, getting your stitches on line
with each other. Chicago NeUs.

1t was out West that country min
lister, officiating at funeral, said at
the close of his discourse:
The friends may now come for
ward and avail themselves of the de-
ceased corpse"
And a solcmn-visaged procession
filed drearily by the coffin, availing"
themselves of the " deceased corpse. !"
The same preacher said at the
funeral of an aged man:
"OUr dear deceased ,.Tother is
dead. He has expired. After eighty
nine years life is extinct. He breathes
not. sees not. hears not. feels not.
smells not. He has passed away. His
clay tenement remains: but it is empty.
The former occupant has moved, as
one might say. He needs not now
his earthly abode. He is dead to this
vain earth; yes. he is dead
Having convinced lis audience that
the corpse was really lead the preach
er goes on to say:
1.-The coffin will now be opened that
those who loved him here may have
the pleasure of gazing on him for the
last time"
A shocking accident in a Western
coal-mining town caused the death of
five poor fellows, who were buried at
the same hour from the village church.
During the delivery of the sermon, the
rudely-constructed platform on which
the five collins were placed suddenly
fell TO the floor. piling the collins one
on top of the other Great consterna-
ton ensued, and in the midst of the
excitement the preacher cried out:
''Be calm, dear friends, be calm:
the corpses are not hurt in the least"
One of those soulless creatures, boy
of ten years. was hanging on the gate
of house in Western village, when
a boon companion came along and said
rauntingly:
Hi, there. Jimmy; don't you wish
You was me? Mas give me quarter
an I'm goin' to see the Jonesville nine

torts:

A newly-married young man died

ONE woMAN's HUSBAND.

AS IT WAS TO BE.
Though land and sea lay wide between,
He was coming, my own true mate,
He was coming to conquer fate
The King was coming to crown MS queen.
Tall should he be, with a regal air.
With a brow as white as the marble g,eam
That flashes athwart toe scuptors dream,
With waving masses OF coal-biack halr.
His love should atone, oh! mighty love,
tor every lack that my life could know;
In every wind that could ever blow,
A safeguard his strong arm should prove.
He should love the books that love the best,
The songs sang should his soul inspire
With "a holy joy, and the poets fire
Should burn and glow in his manly breast
He should scale the heights of philosophy,
Science and art: he should wisely teach
My faiternG lips diviner sneech;
Such was the man that the King should be.
AS TT
He's short and fat. oh! miserable ayowal
His brow is high as any brow in town,
So high il reaches TO the very crown.
His hair, aIasi he combs it with towel.
His voice it is the sharpest OF sharp trebles.
With little unexpected fats between,
His somewhat paiish eyes are always seen
Behind the very best brazilian pebbles
He's in the dry-goods line: at trades quota
Most apt is he; beside the evening hearth
He tells, the price of wool, what cotton's
worth,
And cheers me with the markets fluctuations.
He does not sit by me in summer weather
And read sweet poetry in duiCet tones
That thrill HE to the marrow of NY bones;
Nor do we sit in wintry ewes together.
And, bidding cold and snow glad defiance,
Discuss The last new book, the latest star:
Hand clasped in hand we do not roam afar,
Along the iiowery fields OF art or science.
Instead, we sit in solemn trvst and wonder

And yet like his WAYS. think his stature
Quite perfect; in his rather ford face
i read the outward signs of inward grace,
Just as should, and such is womans nature.
I've even grown to think that eyes look better
Behind convex lens, and very dear
Is his bald head to me my own true sphere:
I've learned TO take the spirit for the letter.
For. after all, so much is justly due him.
HIS heart is strong and true, and he loves

FAST BUTTER-MAKING.
Milk Which Completed Its Journey to Bat
ter in just Two Hours.

! Milk Which mpleted It's Journey to Eut-
! ter in just Two Hours.
! As illustrating the possibilities in the
dairy since inventive genius has been
called in to help the dairyman, Prof.
G. II. Whitcher. of the New Hampshire
Agricultural college, gives the follow
ing account of an experiment recently
made there: ''Since the establishment
of the creamery at Hanover it had fire.
queEtly occurred to me that the MORN
ing's milk might be transformed INTO
butter for the breakfast-table the same
morning. and on a recent Saturday it
was decided 10 try the experiment, At
4:30 a. m. the help at the college farm
were in readiness to commence milking,
and at 5 O'Clock sixty pounds OF warm
new milk were on the scales ut the
creamery, which is located some sixty
rods away. At 5:15 steam was turned
on and the engines were set in motion
the machinery which was to DO in ten
minutes what nature demanded five
hours to complete. Five minutes later
the separator was at its full speed of
eight thousand revolutions per min
ute, and the milk was turned on;
ten minutes later forty-iive pounds of
perfectly sweet skim milk and fifteen
pounds of equally sweet cream were the
existing representatives of the original
sixty pounds of milk. At 5:45 the cream.
cooled to sc degrees, was in the small
test churn; at 6:20 the butter had part
ed company with the buttermilk and
was ready for the salt; at $50 it had as
sumed the form of one fourth pound
prints; in ten minutes more it was on
the breakfast table at tie college farm
house, thus completing the journey from
milk to butter in just two hours. and
only two aud a-half hours from the time
that milking wss commenced. 1t NAV
seem little unaccountabIe to those who.
have never given any thought to the
subject of mechanical separation Of
cream that butter from the mornings
milk may contribute toward the COM
pletion of the breakfast uf the same day.
scarcely two hours after it is MIXED.
yet such is the result of orr trial. and
such is the triumph of inventive genius
over the plodding ways Of Father Time.
BY the old-time methods from SO to 48
hours interviewed between milking and
ckurnins, and by the cold setting in
patent cans only part of the cream
can be obtained in three hours. while
the average time is "a hours, but with
the new system all the cream is OBJ
tanned from 100 pounds of milk in from
eight to ten minutes. Chicago Times.

MertZ & Co,

The occupation Of the merchant tailor is
an indispensable one In the present state Of
society. Well-htting and carefully-made
garments have become necessity In these
modern days, and we are Of the opinion
that we are comforting favor on our read
ers by pointing out an establishment where
these are to be obtained in perfection and at
moderate prices. The most prominent
house in the merchant tailoring line OF trade
is that OF Mertz Il Company, who are To-
Gated at No. 1909 4 street. The premises
are very Gommodious and are stocked with
O full and complete assortment OF broad
cloths, suitings, cassimeres and worsteds OF
the best foreign manufacture. These are
procured direct, are selected with iudg-
ment and ability which lifelong expert
ence in the business confers. In connec-
tion with the making Of all descriptions OF
fine custom clothing to order 1t can be
mentioned that the energy and skill OF
Mr.. w. G. Mertz is directed to
this particular branch OF trade. The facili.
ties of the house for prompt fulGllment of
orders are unsurpassed. To those who de-
sire high grade Of custom clothing this
house commends itself as one that can be
implicitly relied on to furnish such gar
ments as shall rank superior In all respects.
1t is with pleasure we have pointed out
this house and its proprietor, and we feel
assured that nothing will be left undons to
maintain the enviable name which this
store has enjoyed for so many years as
place where the best that the market af-
fords is at all times to be found.

Beckham a. Middleton.

A representation Of the Industries Of the
City Of Washington would be incomplete
without prominent recognition OF the many
iron workers. There are none, perhaps,
which enjoy more liberal patronage than
the Potomac Iron Works Of Georgetown,
c. Beckham and X. l. Middleton proprie-
tors, which was founded in 1881. They un-
dertake all kinds Of contracts In iron work,
machinists' work, boiler.making, black
smithing, founders work and repairing,
with specialtes in iron railings, cornices
and crestings. Tho facilities OF their
works for transacting large trade are not
surpassed by any contemporary concern in
Washington. They are enabled to
supply the best at the lowest mar
ket prices. Close application to
business and talented appreciation
of the wants Of their patrons, combined
with honorable dealings and thorough in
tegrity in all transactions, are the basis
upon which this firm has built Its unriyaled
reputation and immense business. The
proprietors Of this establishment give their
close personal attention to the workings OF
their large bisnesss, and being thoroughly
practical men themselves, are fully con
versant with the wants OF their numerous
customers and justly merit the success
which has attended their well directed and
perseyering efforts.
