What Becomes. Of Many presses.

Luxury and extravaganza in woman's
dress have undoubtedly reached an ex-
cssive pitch, not only on account of the
costliness Of the fabrics used, the dainti-
ness of all accessories. but because fash
ionable ladies-and those who ape them
decline TO wear the same costumes
more than three of four times An ap-
parently inconsistent result has arisen
from the plethora Of feminine ward
robe - the dealers in secondhand
clothes, the insiduous traders who leave
mysterious documents in your letter box
vaguely addressed ito the lady of the
house" and who promise inviolable Sc
crecy about transactions, including the
purchase of any article from false teeth
TO diamonds, are at present distinctly
on the increase and. moreover. on the
high road to fortune.
There is hardly wealthy woman now
belonging either TO the aristocracy or
plutocracy who does not at one time or
another, VicarioUsly or directly, dispose
of the garments which she has not the

adjustments far removed from second

scanty means.-London Letter.

One Of the most amusing and novel
summer lawn parties ever given &C.
CURED on the grounds of Banker
Browns beautiful residence on William
street. The tables were prOfusely deco
rated with roses and spread for about
forty guests. The elite Of the village
was there.
The real fun began when DR.. Horton
brought out one of those newly-invented
boomerang guns. The hostess proposed
that the men should stand up in row.
while the ladies should by turns shoot
for an escort to supper. her choice be-
ing presumed to be the one nearest
whom the arrow should fall.
Now. everybody knows the boomer
ang is thrown away from the victim it
is really intended to hit. Perhaps that
is the reason the women took TO 1t so
naturally.
At all events, when Judge Lilly voIun-
teered 10 give them an object lesson on
the proper way Of holding a gun and it
went off before he got it up to his
shoulder. a perfect volley of witty
taunts ratified about his ears. But the
boomerang flew off into space. right
side up, like bird. and when. to his
dignificd amaZement, il presently re-
turned and thumped his own shins. with
the presence of mind of William the
Conqueror he turned the accident to his
own glory, kissed his hand to the ap-
plauding audience and retired with great
honor. handing the gun over to Mrs.
Eddy.
1t is said that a cat cannot take an
ungraceful attitude. No more can a
woman with a gun Neither judicial
minds nor old soldiers can ever hope to
reach that inimtable air of noble and
martial bearing that pervades a woman
with gun in her hands.
When Mrs Eddy pulled the trigger,
the boomerang darted away only to re-
turn with a whack upon her own beauti-
full chignon. thereby showing how much
higher a woman's aim instinctively is
than a mans who merely thumps his
own shins.
Then she took another shot, and
quickly the Internal boomerang from it's
perch in the sky surveyed that crowd
and made a bee line for its midst. In
vain they lodged and scattered The
lady bagged her man 1t was a continu-
Gus round of fun till the last one had
shot
Undoubtedly this new sport has bril-
liant future. it is adapted to various
lawn games.-Whitehall Cor. n. Y.

HANGED HIS OWN FATHER.
Remarkable Scene on n GaIIows In
the State of Washington.

II was strange meeting of father and
son on the occasion of the hanging of
old Bill Stebbins for the murder of his
second wife at Spokane, says the Re
view OF that city. The murder was
atrocious, the people said, and there
were few glances of sympathy for the
doomed man among the morbidly Curl
Gus stares of the little crowd that filled
the Jail yard.
The sheriff's deputies had attended TO
the details. The trap was set ready to
be sprung and in an instant send a man
into the great beyond The moose had
been made carefully of the best hemp
rope, creased with tallow for that occa-
sion. The procession had moved up the
steps to the platform.
With businesslil1e dignity the sheriff,
who had been notified, stepped from his
Office, crossed the courtyard, and mount
ed the scaffold with the death warrant
in his hand. He read the document in
calm voice, as one would notice of a
sheriffs sale.
And now. sir" he said. turning to the
condemned man, you are at liberty to
speak if there is anything on your
mind"
Throughout his trial. in the dark hours
after his sentence. though the last night
of ife- and while viewing curiously from
his cell the rays of the last sunrise he
would ever see on earth. the victim of
the law had been stoically sullen. Emo
ton had never shown itself in his face.
He had taken his fate philosophically
from the first, making no defense, say
ing nothing when the stern judge had
given him an opportunity TO before
passing sentence. Few noticed IL, but
it seemed as if a tear glistened in his
eye then. Addressing himself to the
sheriff, he said in suppressed tone:
Won't you shake hands. my boy. be-
fore I go2''
The sheriff did not hear him, or If he
did no one could have told il. He was
still the businesslike executive officer Of
the county in which he lived; nothing
more.
Il know I didn't treat you right" the
condemned man continued. showing a
trace Of excitement, nor did your moth
er. either. but a word of comfort to a
man that's going to die, isn't much.
Won't you say something"
Twenty years Of battling with the
world on mis- own hook had hardened
the sheriff's heart. Silently he motioned
the ASSISTANTS to buckle the straps, adj
just the cap, and fix the moose.
Then with steady hand and unwaver-
ing countenace he pressed the button
and sent his father into eternity.

The establishment of a laundry course
at Pratt institute makes it possible for
the young housewife in Brooklyn or
those under her to do away with the
terrors Of a Monday that is usually in
tensely blue The course may be taken
in three months and consists of histori-
cal notes concerning laundry work. the
location of the laundry. it's appoint
ments and the care of them. A prelim-
mary lesson also teaches the proper
classification of the articles to be laun-
dered as the housewife divides the white
pieces into table linen, bed linen and
body linen, and the cOlored pieces, such
as fiannels. calicOes. etc. The theory of
washing comes next and includes a talk
about water. washing soda, soaps,
bleaching powders, bluings, with tests
of the last three articles The different
methods of removing stains come under
this head. In the practice work that fol-
lows the pupils scald, rinse and blue
bed linens and towels.
Next comes the theory of sprinkling,
stretching. folding and ironing, and a
talk on the history and preparation of
starch. The practice work that follows
takes up starchmaking, the treatment
of table linen, body linen and handker-
chiefs, shirts, collars and cuffs, and the
making and use of cold and boiled
starch. The care Of the underwear, silk,
merino and flannel. is followed by les
sons on washing and ironing prints and
hosiery. Clear starching is taught by
itself and includes the laundering Of in
fants' dresses, fancy handkerchiefs,
laces and embroidery
Lessons are also given I'm the washing
and ironing Of crewel and colOred silk
embroidery. Unless in cases where the
articles need to be irOned before they
are dried. those washed in one lesson are
irOned in the next Visits to factories
where bluing, starch and soap are made
are a feature OF the cOurse.-N. Y Post.

The History of MayonnaIse.

Concerning mayonnaise for salads
there is a mystery, says a professional
cook. No one knows how il derives it's
name and IL may be safely asserted
that fifteen out of twenty people are
equally i'm the dark as TO its manufac-
ture, though really the latter is easy
enough. Here is one way:
Mix with a very clean wooden spoon
about half a teaspoonful OF flour OF
mustard, a pinch OF salt ana the same
OF white pepper to the yolk of a very
fresh egg. and we'll mixed add drop by
drop about half pint Of the best salad
oil, stirring carefully one way the whole
time and adding a very little vinegar
(malt, tarragon and chill, either one or
alb occasionally the sauce shows
signs of becoming too thick. This sauce
requires care In the making, or II will
curdle, when the only remedy is to take
another yolk of egg and add the previ-
Gus (curdled) mixture to 1t, gradually
and slowly turning it all the time. 1t is
said that a very little hot water added
to the mayonnaise just as II is finished,
even If It does have to wait somewhat
uncomfortable time.

A PcrversIon of the word Creole.

A creole, strictly speaking, is any per-
son born in this country or the West
Indies OF European ancestors; also any
person born i'm or near the tropics. and
this is the sense in which the word is
usually employed. The use of the word
however has been by some restricted
first to children Of foreign parents born
in Louisiana. and. second. to children OF
Spanish or French parents born in Lou
isiana, and then, I'm the north, the word
has been perverted so that Il is believed
to imply some strain OF negro blood in a
person to whom it is applied. 1t deos
not imply anything Of the sort.
