MADE TO LOOK NEW.

A Simple and Effective Method of Keno
 yating Old Garments.
 Old clothing may be made to look nearly as good as new by pursuing the following plan, says the Philadelphia Record:
 Take, for instance, a shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers of broadcloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scpurei' makes a strong, warm soapsud and plunges the garment into it, souces itup and down, rubs the dirty'places; if nec- essary puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it to dry on the line.
 When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or two, and then presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of the coat and the iron passed over that until the wrinkles are out; but the iron is removed before the steam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed by laying a wet cloth over them and passing the iron over that.
 If any shiny places are seen they are treated as the wrinkles are: the iron is lifted, while the full cloud of steam rises and brings the nap up with it. Good cloth will bear many washings and look better every time because of them

LAWYER AND CLIENT.
How a Legal 8Ian EIade Thief Plead
 Guilty After AcquittaI.


 ssThe only lawyer who made his client plead guilty after being acquitted was c. NJ. Hardy" said lawyer to a Chica- go Tribune reporter. Ut happened this way:
 "A man was arrested for burglary. The principal evidence against him was an overcoat found in the house, which the burglar had evidently left in his hurry to get away. In one of the pockets Of the overcoat were some printed business cards bearing this mans name, which we will call Tom Jones, furniture remover. Of course Jones was arrested; the coat was found to fit him exactly, and 1t looked a dead sure thing that he would be convicted. But nobody had seen the burglar enter the house or leave it, and it was not a diff cult matter to prove an alibi for the prisoner. Of course that meant disown- ing the overcoat, which Jones promptly did. When the case came before the jury it was a treat to hear Mir. Hardy argue the absurdity of burglars going a-burgling" with their business cards in their pockets. He didn't attempt to show how the cards happened to be in an { overcoat which exactly fitted his client, but threw the whole thing overheard, as it were, and made the prosecution ap- pear in such a ridiculous light that the jury acquitted the prisoner after five minutes deliberation.
 But when the lawyer and his client were leaving the criminal court by the Michigan street steps it began to rain. Mr. Hardy buttoned up his overcoat round his neck, and, noticing that his client was minus an Overcoat, he said: Jones, you had better go back to court and bring your oYercOat,' alludlng to the one which he had so strenuously disowned a few moments before.
 ''The man, not wishing to get wet, turned back to get his coat, and had reached the top step before it dawned on him that to apply for the coat would be an equivalent to a confession of guilt. At once retracing his steps he overlook his lawyer at the corner ot Clark street.
 "'Why, that's pleading guilty!' Jones exclaimed, when he had recovered breath.
 "'So is turning back for that coat, reioined his attorney; but you needn't fear-that jury wouldn't believe you and the judge couldn't
 ''Jones guessed he had pleaded guilty enough already and that his coat wasn't worth much any way, and that he would get along without it."

wANAMAKER'S STORY.
A Romantic Little Anecdote Told by the
 Postnlster-G General.


 Postmaster-General Wanamaker, ac- cording to the Philadelphia Telegraph, told his Bible class a very pretty and pathetic little anecdote at Bethany Sunday-schoo1.
 "A young and neatly-dressed little woman" he said, 'came to my office in Washington and said that her husband had been drinking to excess and had left home forever. She told a very creditable story and wound up by ask ing me if l wouldn't give her place. I asked her if she loved her husband, and she said yes, with a sob, big tears beginning to steal down her cheeks. She said she had but one child, little girl, whom she fairly worshiped.
 ''Her story touched me deeply, and I asked her if she wouldn't like to have her husband back again. oh! yes she replied, but he would never come back She didn't know where he was. I promised to do what I could for her, and she went away.
 ''I made it point to find the husband. When this was done, and we stood face to face, asked him if he didn't want to go back to his home, to stop drinking, and become a man again. He answered with sobs that his wife would never forgive him, and there was no use to try. Do you love your wife?' l said.
 '''Yes, sir, do, he said, but l have acted so badly that can not go home, because I know my wife loves me no more.'
 '''She does, my friend,' I assured him. T have seen your wife, and she would be overioyed to have you come back. You have trudged through many weary hours of sorrow, and have brought it all upon yourself 1 told him to go to his wife and be happy again. To make a long story short, he did go back, and now two hearts that were once shattered and sad beat again as one.

HAD A GOOD THING.
A Naval Officers Experience in the Dis
 tribution of Patronage.

Naval Officers Experience in the Dis
 tribution of Patronage.
 I heard from Philade1phian a good story, often told by the late Rear-Ad- miral Emmons of his experience in the distribution of patronage in the navy yards, says the New York Star Man About Town. While the Admiral, then a Commodore, was Commandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, just prior to an election in that city, the Secretary of the Navy ordered the employment in the yards of a much larger number of men than were needed for the work in progress. One afternoon the COmmo- dore donned his citizens dress and started for a bank to transact some business. Near the entrance to the yard he found about three hundred men standing around idle. Surprised at the spectacle, he addressed them rather sharply: m
 "What are you men doing here?"
 An able-0odied young man stepped forward and answered, promptly: ''We're doing nothing"
 ''How did you get in ere?"
 The young man pointed to the main entrance and replied: I've came in through that gate"
 ''That's very strange" the Com modore continued. ''There's a ser geant of marine posted there, with orders to let nobody pass except officers and men employed in the yard.
 'Ohl we're employed here, " the young man said.
 ''Then why are you idle during work ing hours?" the Commodore asked.
 Not at all disconcerted by the Commo- dores manner, the young man answered: ''We're not employed to work; we're hired to vote"
 The Commodore was unable to con- tain himself longer. Strengthening himself up ne said: ''YOu men prob ably don't know who I am." And the young man quickly made answer:
 No, we don't; who are you, any how?''
 q am Commodore Emmons, Com mandant of this yard"
 At 5kis the young man laughed, and, drawing nearer to the Commodore, said: ''Old man, you've got a good thing; keep i it."
 The Commodore turned his head that the smile on his face might not be seen, ! and went to his bank.
