To Keep Muslins Crisp.

To keep muslin dresses looking fresh
they should not be allowed to hang in
closets with wooden dresses or where
the door is opened frequently. A dress
that is kept in wardrobe divan retains
it's sparkling crisp look long after one
that is left hanging in much used
closet. If you have no wardrobe divan,
lay the skirt in bureau drawer and
fold the skirt over the top-not at the
bottom. Then put the waist in dress
box, with all the ribbons and access
series. If bureau drawers are scarce,
there is still another PLAN Buy half a
dozen of the long dress boxes that dry
goods stores use to hold ready made
gowns when sent home. Put the skirt
and waist into one of these. These
boxes can be piled under the bed or
lounge, and SO kept out of sight. Even
the dampness that enters room through
an open window is sufficient to take the
crispness out Of muslins and organdies,
and they never look as well afterward.

Tho French authorities are in a state
Of alarm approaching, panic over the
warnings of fresh anarchist plots. The
information hassbeen furnished princi-

been taken to prevent tho execution Of

ures are SO stringent that all foreigners
IN France are likely to suffer inconven-

architecture Of the public buildings Is
likely to lead to arrest on suspicion, as
an innocent Englishman found who
gazed curiously for five minutes at the

have been instructed to investigate the
contents of everything larger than a
small orange. The bill for the suppress
sion of anarchy is one of the most dras-
tic pieces of legislation in history. 1t
literally fulfills Macaulay's prophecy
that it might prove necessary to destroy
liberty in order to preserve civilization.

A Continuous Rail.

The Cleveland Electric Railway COM
pany is now laying q continuous rail
without the breaks that are usually be-
tween lengths. The ends of the rails are
carefully welded together with entire
disregard of expansion and contraction.
A feature of the welding, as explained
by the superintendent, is that it can be
done only in streets that are paved The
stone brick or asphalt holds the rail in
position and covers it SO that it is not
subject to heat and cold. Experiments
show that under these conditions the
welding can be done without injury to
the track and with great increase of

Fish Catch Turtles.

"Turtle fishing is carried on to p
considerable extent in the vicinity OF
the Gulf OF Mexico" said 0. L.
Davidson, OF Atlanta, at the Lacleds
last night, according to the S. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
"rhe turtles that are most sought
for are the ordinary green turtle and
the hawks bill turtle. Iu the neigh
borhood of CHba most peculiar
method of securing the turtles is pur.
sued. They train, or at least take adj.
vantage of the instincts of certain
species OF fish. The fish is called by
the Spaniards revo (meaning reversad),
because lis back is usually taken for
its underside. 1t has an oval plate
attached to its head, whose surface is
traversed by parallel ridges. BY this
plate it can firmly adhere to any solid
body it may choose. The boats which
so in quest OF turtles each carry tub
containing some cf these reeves. When
the sleeping turtles are seen they are
cautiously approached, ana as soon rs
they are judged near enough, reye
is thrown into the sea.
"Upon perceiving the turtle, its in.
stinct teaches it to swim right toward
it and fix itself firmly upon the crea-
ture by its sucking disk. Sooner
would the reve allow itself to be
pulled to pieces than give up its grip.
A ring which was attached 10 the tail
of the fish, in which string was
fastened, allows the fisherman to pull
in his prize BY peculiar manlpu-
lation the reve is pulled of, and re,
turned 10 the tub, TO be ready for rse
again when the next turtlei is sighted" 3"
