In the kindness Of heart Mrs. Harrison
has gratified many of these simple apncols
from the fabricators of crazy-0uilts and
patch work, but not to tho extent of do.
molishing tho historic gown in which sho
looked so we'll in the vast court of tho
pension building, but from germcnts
which had seen service in church. goinp.
household display, and social duty in
times of Senatorial dignity, and in tho
retirement of home life in INDIANAPOLIS.
In this fragmentary form the dresses of
former days have disappeared, leaving n
decided void in the wardrobe of the first
lady.
Tho fair sex relic hunters of tho re-
public do not stop ut samples of inaupu-
ration dresses, but intersperse their we'll
intentioned epistolary requests, by asking
locks from tho bountcous trcsscs which
lilo i'll wavy brown masses threaded with
gray upon the head of tho first lady.
There is limit to the responsibilities of
nature, and notwithstanding her wealth
OF the treasured article sought, these
requests are respectfully declined, or COM
mitted to the silk-lined paper basket,
where every ono must admit thcy be-
long. If even moiety of tho appeals
Tor locks OF hair Tor charity or jcwclry
were gratitied, tho presiding lady would
long since have been driven to such on
pedients to replace natures supply known
only among the tonsorial mysteries of tho
wig maker and the hair dresser.
Another fruitful theme of cpistolary
communication between the outside world
and tho inner circle of the Presidents
family springs from solicitous grand
mothers and thrifty matrons who make
the care of the inner man their chief de-
light and study. There have been
recipes enough received for bodily all
mcnts, particularly in tho infant stages
OF humanity, to constitute I'M Invaluable
pharnacopmia for White Household
practice, but with possible consequences
for which no one would care to be re-
sponsiblc. Rcams of stationery have
been thus traverscd by photographic Of
forts which might bca sufficient guarantee
of the simple hearted intentions Of the
writers, but advance little encouragement
upon which to base very high estimate
Of their learning.
Another field of cpistolary effort, and
one well worked by the indcfatigablo
wiseacres of thousand households and
communities, is that which blooms in tho
sclf-constitutcd advisory relations of the
writer. This would make another chapter
of horrors TO which the first lady is com.
PEELED to submit. She daily receives
directions sufficient to run the domestic
and social affairs of the White House into
the ground without half trying.-Phila

woNDERPuL JACKETS.

Short jackets are very fashionable of
black cloth, with various colorcd waist
coats trimmed with gilt buttons, and
braided with gold. Another favorite
style has Il rundown velvet collar and
scmi-iitting fronts fastened Mt the throat
with three large buttons Many rather
dressy jackets are of grccnish-g gray cloth,
cut out i'll tabs and turned back so rs to
form loops, through which soft silk
scarf is worn. These jackets arc worn
open with vest of plain material fast-
cned down the middle with gold buttons.
The newest dust cloalis are of silk or
WOODEN material, almost tight fitting, very
long, fastening mt the throat and waist
with metal clasps, thrcc-quarter length
sleeves, widening from the elbow and
slightly turned back with the shot silk
with which the mantle is lined. An
other style has the back fitting to the

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
CLOTHES oLEASrSo


Soiicd and faded black cashmere may
DO made to look almost as good as new
by washing in soapsuds, rinsing In water,
and then putting in water with so much
blueing in it that looks black. The cloth
is to lie in this for some timo-as long ms
over night, If it is much faded. Do not
wiring the cloth after taking it from tho
water, but hang up to dry in shady
place. If the gown is deliberately trimmed,
the trimming may DO ripped off and
treated in this separately. Dark blue
cashmere eau be mado to look beautiful If
renewed in this way. For silk cleaning.
paper and hot iron is the old and best
method. Put brown paper under the
grease spot, on board, and over the spot
place several sheets of paper. With u
medium heated iron press firmly on top,
and several times renew tho sheet of
paper next to the silk on top. Tho paper
will finally absorb all tho grease. This
method is applicable to any mwashablo
cloth, except velvet, plush, etc.
Ammonia is u favoritu substance for
cleaning cloth. Tho ammonia should DO
we'll diluted with watcr-iiftccn drops arc
enough in small basin of water. A
piece of flannel is saturated with this
dilution and rubbed on the grease spot
until it is removed, after which that place
on the cloth is spongcd of with clear
water. Dry somewhat, and iron when
damp.
Ammonia water is also recommended
to remove the shiny look from IL black
coat, but it is not good for much for this
purpose. Strong black coffee, to which
have been added few drops OF am
monia, is said 10 he good for cleansing II
black coat that needs thorough reno
vating.-St. louis Star-SaYinGs.

A Novel Wedding.

a very unique marriage was celebrated
IN Squire llanser's Office the other after
noon, tho Squire officiating. The bride
was Miss Jessie Trocgcr, who obtained
some celebrity two years ago by leading
II strike OF mattresses in Rockwclls res
taurant. She is twenty years old. The
groom was Charles X. Adams, better
known in the dimc-muscum world us tho
Armlcss Wonder. lie was born without
those useful members of the body, and.
in lieu Of II better and more profitable
means of livelihood, hired himself out to
dime museums. Adams is now about
thirty years Of age, and, barring the lack
of arms, is II fine specimen of physical
beauty.
Tho absence Of arms is little felt by the
Wonder, however, for he has become very
expert with his toes and mouth lie can
thread Il needle or write neat letter
with the former, while with the latter he
paints dainty little pictures, dccoratcs
chinawarc, etc, holding the brush be-
tween his teeth
When the couple entered the 'Squirc'a
Office yesterday and said they wanted to
be united in wcdlocli that official was
pcrplcxed for awhile
"ETow can you join hands2" he asked
bluntly, pointing to Adams.
ooh, that is easy enough" said the
pretty bride, who stood fully three heads
shorter than the groom. And she
reached up and graspcd the stump of his
undeveloped left arm with her right
hand.
"sec," she said, rs she stood smiling
ly on her tip-toes.
"But the ring. How can he put the
marriage ring on your iingcr7"
''In this way," said Adams, and the as
tonished officials in the 'Squire's court
were thundcrstruck to see the circlet of
gold between the armless mans teeth.
Bending his head he deity slipped it
over the girls finger.
Satisfied that the couple understood
their business, the Squire went ahead
and performed the ceremony.
After being made man and wife,
Adams sat down, and, slipping the shoe
oil his right foot, disclosing stocking
with the front of the foot cut off, he
reached into his vest pocket with his toes
and brought out n roll of bills. Select
ing SIS note, he rendered it rs fee,
md, putting on his shoe, went away, his
little wife sticking close to him.-Csa-

now TO my AND USE mnooMs.

Mrs. ]. NJ. Millignn writes rs follows in
tho american Agricuiturist: 1t is doubt
full if there is any surcr index to the
qualifications of II housekocpcr than the
condition of her brooms. In buying
brooms those with vanished handles are
to be avoided, the natural moisture of
tho hand being sufficient to mike them
sticky. 1t is usually cheaper, and will
DO found II convenience to buy brooms by
the half dozen or more. If kept in n
dry place they nro not injured by keep
ing except i'll the elasticity and toughncss
of the brush, and this is easily restored
by dipping in hot water. I3rooms OF
medium weight and size nrc preferable
to the very heavy or very light ones.
Those made Of fine grcenish straw aro of
better quality than those made Of coarse
red straw.
There should be in every house one or
more fixed places for brooms on each
floor, three ut least for the first floor, so
that carpet, kitchen and scrubbing brooms
may be kept distinct. A broom that has
not iiXcd place is II time wnstcr ind n
worry. A good simple way of suspend
ing brooms is by n stout cord run through
holes bored in the upper ends of tho
handles. II is well to select brooms
with the holes already made, ms the wood
of some hnndlcs is so hard that
it is almost impossible to pierce them
without the proper tools. There are sew.
eral reasons why il is better that brooms
should be hung up. If II broom is stood
on IFS brush it becomes M angular, for.
lom object, with which it is impossible
TO sweep easily or well. Walls nrc married
by handles or brush being dropped against
them many times day. An inverted
broom suggests II laborious worker; two
unnecessary turns of this implement every
time it is used might, in time, prove ''tho
straw too much" Finally, If wet broom
is inverted, the moisture hns FREQ way to
the closcly-laid parts of the brush end
soon causes mustincss and decay.
DR.. Franklin is credited with introduce
ing broom corn into the United States, he
finding a single seed in ladies' brush
said to have been imported from India
which he planted. There arc now thirty
thousand acres of this plant cultivated
here, with an annual crop valued mt
81, 500, 900.

THE cIoruINc OF nrcn WOMEN.

Some of the richest women are the
least c,;travagant III their clothes, MS is
the case, for example, with old Mrs. w.
III. Vanderbilt, who does not spend above
$1,000 Il year, and the late Mrs Gould
not so much. Nelly Gould, who will in
herit SIS, 900, 600 or 500, 900, 600 and al
ready has an income of 5000 year,
spends about $2500 in dress. The late
Mrs. A. Il. Stewart was Il fortune TO tho
dressmakcrs, who puts away $4,000 OF
$40, 900 year on her furbclows. When
she died and an inventory of her effects
was taken her great white ma,soleum of
house on Fifth avenue was found to be
run over with the most marvellous amount
of clothes, laccs, furs, bonncts, and Jew
els, most of them very youthful in mp
pearancc, though she was over seventy
years OF age. Mrs. Astor dresses with SOL
cmn, handsome cXpensivencss ut the cost
OF $4,000 or $4,000 year, and all of the
younger Vanderbilt women spend great
deal of money OH their clothes. Mrs.
George Gould, who was Edith Kingdom,
the actress, and who has been the quiet
est and most careful of women since her
marriage, spends money like water when
1t comes to a question of clothes, and
must put Il good $40, 900 year in the
hand OF the dressmalScrs. Her dress
maker, by the way, is woman who had
a good deal of social position, but who,
when financial misfortmes came, fol-
lowed the example English women have
set of late years, and went into the mil
liners business. Chicago NcF

OA w SNhhSSodJ ultCluOOu SOUlC young
men who were bathing in the Passaic,
opposite the upper part of Bclleville, saw
a snipc winging its way up the river. It
was not in hurry, and it was taking the
usual zig-zag course familiar to every
sportsman. While the bathers were
watching the snipc kinglisher darted
swiftly from messy bank close by, and
started in pursuit of the snipe. The snipc
did not sec its enemy, and the first init

many yards, the larger bird bounced upon
it again, and immersed it as before. This
was repeated several times, the snipes cry
growing feebler at each enforced plunge,
AT last it could rise no more, and Law
where it had fallen. Then the kincfsher
seized it in his long bill, and skimming
close to the surface, dragged the luckless
snipo through the water until he was
satisfied that it was drowned, when he
released the body and flew rapidly to tho
opposite bank.
One of the bathers swan out and re-
covered the dead bind, remarking that he
did not think the game laws covered the,
case. The snipc had not been injured by
the kingfisher's blows.-Nco YORK. Sun
