Very fine lace may be cleanscd and

sewing it into a clean linen bag. 1t Is

A GREAT many women are annoyed by
the rapidity with which braid wears of
their dress skirts, The best qualities Of
skirt braid are finer, and often do not wear
as long as the cheaper, coarse ones. The
very best material for binding a dress
skirt is a bias band Of good velvet put
on as a roll. It will outlast three pieces
of worsted braid, and, moreover, will
save moro than its cost in saving fine
walking shoes from the wear on the in
step caused by the friction OF braid.
This often causes the shoe to DO shabby
here before any other part Of it Is per-
ceptibly worn.

off with ossia scpia; india ink is slightly
brushed over with oil, and. after twelve
hours, with %saponiiied salmiac; any
particles of color still remaining must

Washington state.

The Geographical Society of the
Pacific held one of its entertaining
meetings lately in the rooms of the
Art Association, on Pine Street.
The main feature was an address
by John S. Hittell, entitled "West-
ern Washington, or Washington
west of the Cascades" Western
Washington has facilities unequaled
in any portion of the globe. The
largest spars come from Puget
Sound. For a century California
will obtain ITS supply from that
section. 1t has also the largest coal
fields on this coast, with iron, lime
and building stone. 1t is not good
agricultural region, but for fruits
and kitchen vegetables it cannot be
excelled. Its climate is like that
of Great Britain. 1t has $50 rainy
days in the year. While San Fran.
cisco after twenty years has failed
to obtain one competing railroad,
Washington has already three ad-
vancing to compete with the North
ern Pacific, leaving cut the reported
advance of the Southern Pacific to
Puget Sound. The main attraction
is to have terminus on Puget
Sound. The Union Pacific is going
there under compulsion. The Great
Northern also; near the line of the
18th parallel. The Northern Pacific
is looking for feeders in all direc-
tons and to reach seaport, where
commerce can be carried at least
expense. Seattle has already 5000
inhabitants, Tacoma 10000, while
Port Townsend and Olympia have
$500 each.

WHAT'S IN A NAME ?

Talking about the family name
of the English Royalties, a writer
in the London Star relates that at
dinner where many notable folk
were present, the topic came up.
The question as to that name was
put to celebrated historian, who
replied : Guelph, of course" 1t
was pointed out that, although the
Royal Family are Guelphs by de-
scent, Her Majesty's marriage with
Prince Albert must have the effect
which the marriage of lady has
in all other cases, and that the sur
name of the present house must be
the Prince Consort's. "But what
is the surname of the Prince Con-
sorts family ?" Simple, but stag
gcring. No one knew. All guessed,
and all were wrong. 1t turned out,
however, that the correct name
was Victim" OF course, no one
had heard of it before, and all
smiled at the idea of the Guelphs
being reduced to Victims The
point was referred to Sir Theodore
Martin. "You are quite right"
said the biographer of the Prince
Consort Victim is the family
name of the house of Saxony, to
whom the dominion of Saxony
came in the year 1920"

"GOlNG.o
BY MRS. B. H. HILL, JR,

Just about year ago the following lines

Far, far beyond where the stars are grow

Like flowers of gold in meadows blue
The angels sprinkled in passing through.
The silver latch is lifted and am going.
| hear the sound of the river flowing,
And catch its gllmmer where the trees
As the leaves brush cool about my face.
The silver latch is lifted and am going
The flower kissed breezeS of Eden are
blowing,
And balmy sweet is the perfumed breath
mat noats to me like a whisper of DEATH
The silver latch is lifted and am going ::
lis the bloom of the dawn ere the sun is
glowing,
And adown the hills hang the mists of
morning
Like the veil of lace bride adorning.
The silver latch is lifted and l am going :;
About me lilies of God are showing,
They are draperies white of winding
sheet,
And soon I'll sleep meath their petals
sweet
The silver latch is lifted and l am going :;
Yet fragrant the flowers the days are sow
ing;
Not worm at the root, the blossoms have
uncurled,
For love is the gardener of my breautful
world.

Dark heavy shipping, and nothing
which does not possess size and sub
stance is fit for this grade, may be
cured with fues better than in any
other way. Smoke from the open
wood fire is Objectionable, and with
the fiue you get the heat, which is all
that is wanted, without the smoke.
Curing with open wood fires belongs
to the past, and none but the old
Bourbons will continue the old practice,
because they know no better. Taste
and fashion are against smoke, and
nothing else is needed to Danish the
old and recommend the new mGl-e.
If dark color is desired, which is not
SO fashionable as formerly, it can be
secured as easily over aues as over
wood fires. But the world wants colory
tobacco, and this can be produced
certainly better with the f1ue than in
any other way. Besides, by the fue
the leaf is cured sweet and free from
smoke or SCOT.
A skillful curer can produce the
colors most in demand, and by the
aue better, and with more certainty,
than in any other way. The main
object of the author is to induce plant
erS, who have never used flues, to try
them for all grades.
