When the neigh bors csssAed in after the shot was fired they found her lying prostrate across the form of her dead husband and covered with the blood that was pouring from the wound in his side.
 The exact nature of the cause lead ing so the suicide has not transpired, bur an article published in Kansas ~ity paper had something to do with it.

HOW TO STARCH.

The starching is nearly as important
as washing. Let the prints dry before
doing it. Use starch properly colored
for colorod grounds, unless there is
white in tho design to bo muddled by
it. See that the starch is we'll cooked,
FREQ of Jumps, not scorched and not too
thick.
Turn your garments wrong side out,
dip them in, kneading them well into
the starch, but not letting it flow in
the right side. Turn and hang out,
well spread, in the airiest shade you
can find until bone dry.
That is for thick stuffs, ginghams,
cambrics, calicos, and so on.
Muslins, lawns and airy batistes re.
quire different usage. The best starch
for them is clear gum water-either
gum arabic or gum tragacanth. Take
care that every fibre is we'll wet with

neither damp nor dry-takc down, fold
and roll. Unfold breath at a time
and pat and pull it between your two
hands until it is almost dry. When
you have gone over the whole garment
sprinkle it Tightly and roll tight. Leave
it for Mt least an hour, covering so
thickly that the outside cannot dry.
Sprinkle and roll in the same way
tho thicker garments, which, however,
need great deal more water than the
muslins. But do not make them toe
wet; above all, do not have wet
splotches on n semi-dry ground. Any
fabric that will hiss under the iron IL
too wet for good results

HOW TO MAKE A SKIRT PORN.

Take block of wood two inches
thick and at least foot square. Bore
hole through the center and fit into
it wooden rod little longer than
the dress skirt. Then from q pine
board saw a circle the size Of your
waist. Screw this securely to the othe,
end of rod; fasten seven dressreeds tc
the board, placing them 20 that one
comes in the middle of the back. With
two reeds make ahoop that fits loosely
over the hips and place this under the
reeds five inches below the waist. Tie
firmly wherever the reeds cross. A
second and slightly larger hoop should
be placed five inches below the upper
one. Place over the reeds small
hoop-skirt from the bottom Of which
several rows of wire have been re.
moved. Fasten the skirt to the reeds.
sew tapes to edge of the skirt at regu.
lar intervals, draw them down and
tack to the block. This holds the skirt
in position. York Voice.
