HOW TO MAKE BEDS.

Instruction Which Is Badly Needed in
 Numerous Households.
 It is doubtful whether more than half the housekeepers in the land know how to make up bed in the right way, simple as tho operation may appear, writes Maria Parloa in the Housewife. It is necessary that tho springs and mattresses be oven, that the sheets be long enough, and that the blankets be long enough, too The sheets should be about eight feet long.
 First, air the bed we'll This is done by opening the window, spreading tho blankets, sheets and counterpane on sep arate chairs, turning up the mattresses, shaking up the pillows and bolster and plac ing them in current of air, and, if pos sible. in the sunshine. Indeed, If all the bedding could be placed where it would get the benefit of a good sun-bath, 1t would be much sweeter and more healthful. A sleep ing room should have nothing in 1t which the sun can damage.
 Let the room and bedding air for an hour at least; better, two or threo hours. Next get the mattresses perfectly level and even on the springs. Shake the bolster until the feathers are evenly distributed and then place it on the bed, fattening 1t little on the surface. Now spread the under sheet smoothly over the mattress and bolster, be- ing careful to have enough margin for tuck luR uuucT UOlSIeE. LUCK tue ClOLn uHOer the mattress at the sides and foot Next spread the top shee on the bed, being care ful to tuck a generous piece under the mat tress at the foot. Nothing is moro annoy ing than to havo the covering drawn off the feet in the night, yet this Is likely to happen at any time if the upper sheet is not tucked at least Q foot under the mattress.
 After the top sheet come the blankets. If they are double, have the opening come at the head of the bed; then, if it be- comes too warm in the night, half of the blanket can without trouble be thrown back, whereas, if the closed end be at the top one Is obliged to get up to make the change. It Is surprising how often this little pointin housekeeping is overlooked, even in houses where one expects the best of management
 When the blankets are on, put on the spread, taking pains to get 1t perfectly even and smooth. Tuck tho spread in at tho foot and tuck in between the springs and side piece of the bed the top sheet, blankets and spread, getting the sides perfectly smooth. Now turn the spread back so that it shall come even with the bottom of the bolster. Turn the blanket back on this, and turn the sheet last. To have the hem come right side up when folded back, tue sheet should be spread with the right side down. See that all the lines are straight, and place tue pillows on their sides on the bolster.
 Doubtless many readers will consider this as exceedingly elementary, but there seems to be much need of just such in- struction in many households.

A TRIP TO EUROPE.

Anyone contemplating trip to Europe will naturally ask for a steamer that com pines the greatest speed, absolute safety with the best accommodations for comfort that can be obtained. The great twin screw steamers "Columbia' and Augusta Victoria" of the Hamburg line, have in all these respects no rivals on the ocean to- day. They have two complete sets of machinery, are divided their whole length into two entirely separate compartments and have two bottoms. Their length is 464 feet, their engines develop the force of 12, 800 horses,l speed 20 knots an hour. They will land you at Southampton, Eng land, Havre, France, or Hamburg.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

There will te a meeting of Co G's base ball team this evening at the armory at 9 o'clock.
 Wm Sunday, right fielder of the Pitts burg club, has been appointed manager of the team, and will take charge when the club leaves on it's trip.
 Harvey, of this city, and Sutton of New York will play match game of pool at Harvey Bros billiard parlors to-,ight for $50 side, first il out of 21 games.
 base ball player named William Camp bell had his eye knocked out and jawbone broken while catching behind the bat in a game played at Somerset, Ky, yesterday afternoon. He was carried from the grounds unconscious and apparently life less. His attending physician says there is a chance of his recovery, but his condition Is critical and it will be some time before he plays another game of ball.
 In the game last Monday between New York and Chicago the following conversa- tion took place between Anson and Ewing: "You are a loafer," said Anson, flushed with anger. "Let's shake hands," replied Buck; II am q good one if can tie you. l have learned everything I know from you: We are both in the same boat" lot if know it," said Anson; you can learn HUH ule. uuC s so, come to think of it replied Buck, 'you had better go and read the rules.' All this occurred when the red-faced mogul of the Chicago diamond objected to Keefe going in the box in the eighth inning. O'Day had pitched good game up to this time, but Keefe was fresh and Ewing wanted to make sure of it.
 MERIDEN VS WATERBURY.
 The Meriden newspaper men who came over here to spill some of our boys blood and bat out victory were sadly disap- pointed at the close of the game yesterday They had the points down to nicety Mattison was to be batted out of the box, and so many runs would be made that the scorer would get tired of putting them down. Per contra Mattison fooled them and all their nicely arranged plans fell to the ground Genial Tom Reilly wore a sad smile, and as he returned from the grounds gave one last look at the field which had been his team's Waterloo Rus sell on first for Waterbury played great game and contributed no little share towards the success of his team. In fact the whole infield put up an excellent game and took every chance offered. Deacon at right field captured all the balls batted in his direction, and was credited with stopping many run. All in all it was a great game and was played with vim that surprised even the boys themselves. The score was 12 to g.; umpire, J. McFar land

Christian scIentIst Goes Crazy.

SHARON, Pa, Jan. 22-For months past

voices include many members Of the most
cultured society in Sharon. One Of the be-

veloped every sign Of insanity, and is now
ravlng mad on the subject. She has thrown
away her false teeth, asserting that the Lord
will provide her with new set, and talks
continually Of nothing but glorifcation,
publication and other theories peculiar TO
the sect. She has been In such high state
Of mental excitement that the continual ef-
forts of physician have been required to
put her to sleep. This was accomplished
only after most powerful sedatives had been
administered under false pretenses, as the
woman refused any material aid, relying on
the Lord 10 relieve her. She imagines that
she is In constant communication with the
Lord, and repeats their conversation to all
who call

an AuhbEmhNI hEhOhED.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-lt is stated upon most
excellent authority that the English gov.
ernment has decided to uphold the treaty
by the provisions Of which European pow.
ers are precluded from obtaining or at
tempting TO obtain dominance In Samoa,
England has been fully informed Of the
views OF the American government on the
matter and Is in full accord with the opln.
ions held In Washington. The two govern
ments are agreed that the action Of the
agent OF Germany in Samoa Is opposed to
the letter and spirit Of the treaty and also
violates diplomatic etiquette and endangers
the good relations so necessary TO the pres
ence Of Americans and Europeans when
dealing with semi-barbarous nations. Dis
patches have been sent TO Berlin couched In
language conveying the foregoing sense Of
the situation.
The latest news received by Lord Sails
bury from Apia Is Of a menacing charac-

dered the strength Of the Pacific feet TO be

erful vessels. Count Won Hatzfeldt, the
German Ambassador, had an interview with
Lord Salisbury yesterday afternoon after
Mr.. Phelps had consulted with Lord Sails
bury.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-It was said at the
Navy Department yesterday that II will take
six weeks at least for the war ships Trenton
and Vandalis to make the run from this
continent to Samoa Thus the Npsic will
be the only vessel representing this govern
ment at those islands from this time until
after the 4th OF next March. The Trenton
sailed from Panama about week ago, but
the Vandalia, which sailed from San Fran
cisco Sunday is fa'ter vessel, and will
take q more direct route than the Trenton
and will probably reach Samoa about as
soon as the latter ship.

rendered his resignation and meeting OF

sented his resignation, and should the enc.
mics Of the pastor carry out their scheme
