The making of childrens garments is
quite different from those of the mothers.
and every dressmaker ought to know how
whether they are ever called upon to prac-
tice or not.
In the first place. simplicity is to be stud
led, and the fact that they have no form
taken into consideration. When new ma
terial is used. the dressmak err can cut to suit
herself, but it is best to have the gowns.
ETC., designed so as to have the different
pieces as large as possible and have a hem
deep enough to allow for child's rapid
growth.
The present styles have full sleeves. fol
lowing those of their mothers in form, and
the waists are draped in much the same
manner
To make dress for little girl. begin by
drafting the lining, which try on. as with
the others, and take the impression with
pins, but loosely; then haste the outside on,
following the same general plan as for the
mothers gowns in the making and finishing
of the seams, but of course no bones are re-
quired. The waists close in the back. and
the skirt is usually gathered and sewn on
with Il piping
The skirts of chidren's dresses now are
cut in straight breadths and require very
little trimming, but considerable can be
and is frequently put on the waists.
1t is not considered necessary to finish off
and line a child's dress with the same care
employed on fine gowns for grown people,
with the exception of their cloaks. which
require tailor finish
If a iaclaat is to have pockets the best
way for an amateur to do is to take gentle
mans vest and study the manner in which
they are made and sewn in Ii she cannot
do this let her cut the slit for the pocket
with the front part half an inch higher
than the back Cut the lining for the pocket
an inch wider than the slit and cut two
pieces of the material of the jacket ~
inches wide and an inch longer than the
slit, the nape running the long way. These
two strips should be basted to the pocket
lining and stitched on tightly, after which
basted to the outside of the jacket in such
a manner as to insure their being turned
to bring the pocket inside, leaving these
strips for facings When the pocket is
sewn in, stay the corners with arrowheads
and stitch the edge of the lower side. The
pocket can then have the sides sewn and
stoutly overcast
The difference between a jacket and
covert coat is that the jacket is sewn on
the INSIDE, lue seams ldlu apart anu pressed,
while the covert coat has the seams Tapped
and double stitched. Only thick, fine
cloth will bear this without fraying. Gov
ert coats have no front darts. Jackets
may have them or not. Blazers have no
darts and usually are rather shorter in the
back than front, though this season they
are quite long
The collars to covert coats are standing,
and the coat buttons are in double line
down the front of white bone or pearl.
The collars to the jackets are according
to taste, either Medici or Stuart style, or
the plain rolling or the long rolling collar,
which may he lined with fur, and which ex
tends down the front. These collars are
very troublesome, but by getting a special
pattern they can be achieved.

Reporting the Battle of Sedan.

Sedan was marked by efforts of journal

dicative at least of energy. 1t was the
New York Tribune which took First

Briton. Holt White, a man whose abilities
should have given him better fate than
premature death in an Austrian hospital,
was with the Germans on the day SO I'M
fortunate for France. He stood by Sheri-
dan when Napoleon's letter of surrender
was handed by General Relic to old Will
helm; the napkin that had constituted
Relies flag of truce was given him as
souvenir. And then with dauntless cour-
age he walked right ocross the battlefield
through the still glowing embers of the
battle, reached the frontier, made Cor the
nearest railway station and got to Brussels
early next morning. He could not tele-
graph from there.
His own story was that when he ten
dered his message the people at the office
refused to transmit it, scouting him as
either a lunatic or bear" bent on Gre
ating panic on the Stock exchange, but
have heard that he had not the cash with
him to pay fer a long rGessage. Anyhow
he came to London, getting there the day

synopsis of his narrative to be printed in a
late edition OF the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t

A dingy cave with several thousand tin
cans for roof, pile Of grimy blankets
and gunny sacks stuffed with rags for "A
bed, few old cans and broken brick
against the clay bank for fireplace-ths
is the habitat of an old man on Terwilli-
gers claim, about 500 feet north of the
point where the west side Southern Pacific
line crosses Slavin's road in South Port
land. The cave is dug into the side of a
steep hill and is sufficiently obscured by
brush and trees to give the old man the
seclusion he seems to desire.
The cave the old man lives in now is a
marvel, considering the implements he had
to work with. The only tool he used was
broken shovel, tied with wires in several
places, with a handle that was once sap
ling fir tree. He dug hole about IA feet
long, ten feet wide and 12 feet deep, and as
tie bank is hard clay the amount of labor
he performed may be imagined. A man
with good shovel could not remove such
quantity Of earth in less than two or
three weeks. The thousands of small cuts
in the clay show that he took but a small
amount of earth at time, and gives some
idea of the laborious task he had. The
roof is made of few crossbeams and fiat
tened out oil cans, piled about twenty deep
on top. Where he picked up such a guam
tity of oil cans is a mystery, as one dray
could hardly carry them. The bedding
consists of straw, old blankets, sacks and

Making Clay Plnea.

The common clay pipe, like the needle
has to Undergo large number of opera
tions before completion, nearly all of which
are conducted without mechanical u l.
The clay, after being levigated, mixed
and kneaded to proper consistency, is
rolled out roughly into shape. This the
molder takes and placing the head or
bowl end on special support thrusts a
long needle into the center of the tail of
the roll, thus piercing the stem.
Thus pierced, and still containing the
needle, the roll is placed in the mould,
which is of steel and made in two parts,
and the latter is closed and put in the press.
Then a compressor is pushed into the open
part of the mold to form the bowl. Thus
the clay is compressed.
The press is now opened, the pipe taken
from the mold and passed on to finish
ers who scrape out all mold seams, pass
another needle into the stem, stamp any
letters that are to appear and send ON TO
the drying room.
Here, when sufficiently hardened, those
which have to be polished are polished, and
all are sent forward to other workmen,
who examine them, reject the defective
ones, and proceed to put the perfect ones
in the saggers ready for the furnaces,
which are similar to those used in potteries,
and where they are exposed for five or six
hours.
They are subsequently dipped in mix
ture to remove the porosity of the clay
This is a mere outline of what is needed
for a common clay pipe; the operations in
the fancy pa terms are more complicated.

No poet has ever lived who has so
thoroughly learned the thought and speech
of his oountrymen as did the Ayrshire
bard, Sootland's national poet, Robert
Burns. The poor man recognized in Burns
q noble defender, because he vigorously
asserted his native nobility of manhood,
while the man who WAS full of sympathy
for even the weak, covering animal,
driven to the death, owned him Is great
bene factor. The admirers of Burns can be
found the world over, while bis poems
| have been translated into almost every
| known language. 1t Is not to be wonder
ed at, therefore, that the enthusiasm of the
Scottish residents Is 80 great as the time
| for the celebration of the 134th anniversary
| of his birthday approaches As 1t has been
the annual custom of the New Haven Gale
DOMAIN clob for the past twenty three
years to celebrate this occasion, they have

so full of "reminiscences of the "land O.

Not JOYOUS Affair.

Bridgeport, Jan. % The home, coming
of Antoine Sabano after an absence of two
years was not as joyous as a one he an,
ticipated. Sabano's absence had been a
forced one He had used stiletto too free
ly and was sentenced to three years in
state prison. He had been a model pris-
oner and thereby shortened his term of i'm
prisonment several months. His friends
prepared grand reception for him. A
hall had been hired, band of music en-
gagged and refreshments purchased. The
hall was filed with friends when Antoine
arrived last night. The first question he
asked was: where are my wife and little
onea" During the first part of his impris-
onment letters had come to him regularly
from his wife, but in the last few months
he had not heard from her. Friends broke
the news to Antoine that short time ago
his wife had grown tired of waiting for
him and taking their child had gone to
Italy with neighbor named Salvatore Mar
tans. Antoine took his wife's desertion
greatly to heart. He took no part in the
festivities, but declared that he woald go to
Italy, find his reoreant wife and her lover
and kill them both.
