A USEFUL DIAGRAM.
How tho Economical Housewife Can Cut
Over Old Hosiery.


We all know how often tho feet of n
pair OF stockings will be worn out be-
yond all possibility of repair while the
legs arc perfectly whole. BY the use
OF the patterns described below aud as
much time as it usually takes to darn
badly worn pair of stockings, it is pos
slole to produce from three worn pairs
two pairs that will last MS long and fit
US well us new ones The worn foot is
first cut away, leaving the stocking in
the shape of the right-hand figure of
the diagram. In cutting follow the
line of the heel and the seam down the
side of the foot, and cut off enough of
the upper side to remove all the worn
portion of the toe. If the stocking is
worn above the heel cut away little
more of the leg, being careful to pre-
serve the shape given in the drawing
This will leave the leg trifle shorter
than before, but usually the difference
will not be noticed. The new feet are
cut from the legs of another worn pair
Of stockings. One pair of legs is suf-
ficient to make feet for two pairs of
stockings. The lcft-hand figure shows
the shape Of the sole of the stocking, and
to secure the proper size it is necessary
to cut paper pattern. Fold the paper
and, on the folded edge, take distance
which shall represent A b; nine and n
half inches is about right for medium
sized foot. Then, by using the proper
tions given in the cut, you can easily
shape the pattern. The center diagram
represents the upper side of the toe,
which is doubled along the line G F.
BY the patterns cut out the left and
center figures form the stocking leg,

RAILROAD RACKET.

THE Pennsylvania railroad system
employs 1871 engineers.
THE longest single line Of railroad in
the world is the new trans-Cancasian
built by Russia.
THE highest inhabited place in the
world is Galera, railway village In Pc
ru, 1855 feet above the sea.
To SECURE uniformity in the painting
and vanishing Of their passenger and
freight cars some railroads employ ex-
pert chemists to analyze the paints and
oils used
So SEVERE is the climate Of South
America upon iron that before railroad
ties have shown signs Of decay the
hanges Of the rails will be nearly eaten
off by rust.
MORE land is owned by railroad COM
panies (s11, 000, 900 acres) than would
make six states as large as Iowa. Since
1861 no less than 1s1, 000,0 900 acres of
land have been given to railroad COM
panies.
THE Grand Trunk railway contem-
plates erecting stone arch bridge by
the side Of the present railway suspen-
sion bridge over the Niagara river, to be
used for freight purposes, leaving the
present structure for the use Of passen-
ger trains only. Plans have been pre-
pared and adopted by the company.
CHARLES WATTS, superintendent OF
the Chicago division Of the Pittsburgh.
Fort Wayne & Chicago road, claims
that the fastest time ever made on an
American railway was on that road
lately. His official report showed that

in forty-flve minutes, eleven miles Of
which were covered in seven minutes,

knows"
Then there was the new preacher in
the district, Rev. Absalom Dubbs,
the meelSest, mildest, and most harm
less of men. When Brother Dubbs
went to make his first pastoral call on
Sister Binder, he was bounced off the
premises by Buster so quick that he
never knew how he got out in the road.
1t saddened the hearts of Uncle Morg
and Aunt Peggy to know that Brother
Dubbs had been weighed in Busters
balance and found so lamentably want
ing. But there was no getting around
it. Brother Dubbs was under suspicion,
and Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy stayed
home from meeting all that year.
Their faith in Busters wisdom was not
shaken a bit by the fact that the dom
inie quit the district with spotless
record.
1.-THE world hasn't come to an end
yit!'' said Uncle Morg. Preachers is
dom some tur'ble queer things these
days wen We hain't s'pectin' of it. Bus,
ter knows!'
But the oracular little mule is suf
fering greatly in prestige now. Uncle
Morg's and Aunte Peggy's heretofore
unwavering trust in Buster has been
rudely shaken, and their calm philo-
sophy does not serve to sustain them in
their painful awakening. Two or three
months ago one of the nicest-appearing
young men who had ever been seen in
that part of the Pine creek property
stopped his horse at the Binder farm
and got out of the wagon. Buster took
to him on sight. He put his nose on the
strangers sleeve and walked him right
up to Uncle Morg's door. Buster ever
seemed to want to follow the man into
the house, he had taken such fancy tc
him. That was all the recommendation
Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy wanted
for the stranger, and he didn't dilly-dally
in presenting the business he had In
hand. In less than fifteen minutes he
had Uncle Morg's signature to con.
tract to act as agent in that district fol
the grab-quick stump-puller and light
ming chucl1-hole filler. Last week the
contract turned up in the shape of a
cut-throat Judgment for one hundred
and fifty dollars, and Uncle Morg was
called upon to settle. He kicked and
they levied on property of his, including
the oracular mule.
''If hef to pay the swinolin' note l
WILL" said Uncle Morg. "Tain't the
money I mind, but to think th't after
we've let Buster hev the run O. the
place fer twenty year n better he'd
turn to 'n'steer us agin bunko game Is
watts breakin' us all up"

AN GRANULAR MULE.

He Was Tlind1y Trusted. bat Put His
Friends in q Hole at Last.
Buster has done it at last, says q
Wellsboro correspondent of the New
York Sun. The hands of the law have
closed upon him, and woe sits by the
hearth of Uncle Morg Binders, in the
Pine creek region.
Buster is mule-a little mouse-col-
ored mule-that has been in the Binder
family so many years that his age is for
gotten. He was the autocrat of the
Binder premises. His chief duty was to
haul Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy when
they wanted to go visiting or to town to
trade. That is, Buster hauled them if
he hadn't made up his mind to a differ
ent course. They never knew whether
or not the mule was going to take them
or not until they got into the wagon.
Then Uncle Morg would take up the
lines and say:
'Now, then, Buster! What o ye think
about it?''
If Buster pricked up his ears and
started on that was as much as to say
that he thought it was all right and he
would take Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy
wherever they were going and fetch
them home slick as greaser. But it
Buster replied to Uncle Morg's inquiry
by laying his ears back on his shoulders
and scowling they knew that the mule
thought it wasn't all right, and without
another word Uncle Morg and Aunt
Peggy would dismount, unhitch the
mule and turn him out, and go content
| edly into the house to wait until some
day when Buster was willing.
''Malze him go agin his will!" uncle
Morg always exclaimed when asked
why he didn't force the mule to go.
"W'y, man, sumpin' d happen surer n
later rot if we sh'd go away agin
Busters idee O. the matterl Buster
knowsl''
It was the same way with persons.
Busters opinion of an individual decided
Uncle Morg and Aunt Peggy. When
he folded his liberal ears back and
threatened rush upon any person
no business with the Binder family.
"Buster knows!'' was always the en-
phatic remark of his two loyal subjects
and that in spite of several queer judg-
ments the arbitrary Buster had put on
record. There was the case of the man
| WIZ OTOVo up 10 Cno D1uOeT place Ouce
when the railroad was building. He
started for the house but Buster blocked
the way. He not only laid back his
ears and threatened the man with his
front, but turned about and let his heels
fly SO viciously and so rapidly in the di-
rection of the mans head that the
stranger backed away and shouted to
Uncle Morg, who stood on the stoop, to
call his mule off.
GIVE got some business with you!
shouted the man.
"No y han'tV" replied Uncle Morg.
eye hant got no business with me, fer
Busters agin We, N Buster knows"
The man went off In huff, and. come
to find Out, he was the agent of the
railroad, and wanted to contract with
Uncle Morg for big lot of ties. The
consequence was that other parties got
the contract, which proved to be one
with big money in it.
"Don't carel" said Uncle Morg. 1.-THE
chances is th't If I'd ha' took the con-
| tract I'd ha' put the money in a bank.
