done before the knot is made,
but the waves should not
be- combed out. The remaining hair is
drawn closely up to the centre OF the
head. There it is caught firmly by the
right hand, while the left winds it out
straight from the bead like coil OF
rope. When it is tight the rope OF hair
is brought forward and twisted into
loop that should stand up prominently.
The first hairpin is then put In, secur-
ing the loop at the top, while the LETT
still holds the strand in place at the
bottom.
Two hairpins secure the bottom OF
the loop, and then the rope of hair is
wound its length about the rope. If the

waved it is brought loosely up into the
knot, It's ends tucked out OF sight.
After all this is done, and not till then,
a long fine comb is lightly run through
the waves Of hair.

RENOVATING The BEDS.

No doubt the easiest way Of cleansing
heavy winter bedding aud renOvating
mattresses and pillows is 10 send them
''out of the house" 20 be steamed aud
remade.
But this Is not practicable for all
households Many women feel that, on
the score Of expense il for no other re a
son, the Werk must be done in the house.
Some advise delaying the work TO the
long, clear, quick drying days Of sum
mer. But most housekeepers prefer to
attend TO IL In the spring, just in the
time OF spring housekeeping. They do
not consider the house really "sweet"
while there is SOiled bedding in il.
10 is customary with many women to
simply untack comiOrtables aud wash
and replace the cover, but this is not
sufficient for hygienic purposes. In
case this course must be followed the
Wadding or batting should DO spread

days in the hottest houre.
Many suppose that the batting Is
ruined by being wet. But this need not
be the case n the comfortable Is treated

A much better way Is 10 take the

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES

Ia cleaning japaned goods never use
warm water. Wet cloth slightly in
warm water and rub the article to be
cleaned. Should any smear appear
sprinkle with flour and wipe dry.
When massaging the face, rub the

the temples. This is the rule. In wash
ing the eyes wipe them from the tenn
pies to the nose. This is said to pro-
lonE sight.

TOOK STRYCHNINE.
HIS LIFE WAS TOO OHEOKERED
AND FAST.
Quarreled With His Mistress, Got
Liquor, Lunch, Strychnine and
Welcomed Death.

This morning about 7 80 O'clock
the death of Chas. Werner, a bake r
who is brother-in-law Of Mr.. Peter
Marx, the efficient clerk for Justice
Jones, occurred at No. 10 Lake
view avenue, from the effects OF
strychnine poison, administered by
himself, whether with suicidal in
tent or not, will not be known I'M
til after the coroner's inquest,
begun soon after the death, by JUS
tiCe Jones, will be completed. Wer-
ner was a baker by trade, but had
not worked for number of years,
having become enamored of a life
of ease and dissolutepass. He had
for a mistress variety theatre girl
named Nora Thompson, who was
employed at the Washington thea
tire. He became jealous of her a
few days ago and they quarreled.
1t is understood the quarrel was
renewed last night, and afterward
he began drinking and went home
rather drunk. He had purchased a
lunch and some strychnine, and
after eating the lunch he became
very sick. He called to a neighbor
who found him in agony, and told
him he thought he had been pois-
oned by eating some of the lunch.
Policeman Walter Beck was sum-
moned and also DIR. Menger, but
the latter arrived just after he had
expired.
Werner told Officer Beck that he
had got the poison to kill some
cats and must have got it mixed
up with the lunch somehow. He
rallied after he had made this
statement, then quite suddenly be-
gan to sink and finally died.
Werner was resident of this
city for many years. Detective
Hughes knew him, and says he
sent him to the penitentiary about
thirteen years ago on a conviction
for burglary.

| Ib1 SOL. JAS. INENNOmB.I
1t was unnecessary "after TWEEN
ty years" for Mr.. Henry Elmen-
dorf to hand Mr.. Frank Grice an
old copy of the Express in order to
furnish that paper with vicious
and untruthful personal attack
upon the writer of Short Stops !;
that kind of thing appears almost
daily in that great organ OF piety.
Says the Express of today, after
careful reading of Short Stops:
"We fear that Col. Newcomb, in
trying to earn his salary as re-
corder's clerk with one hand and
furnish 'coppee' to scab printers
with the other, is overworking
himself. He should put on a sub
and give his nerves a rest" 1t is
only sufficient to give this quota
ton to show how impoverished
that paper is when it comes to
dealing in fair, impersonal jour-
nalism.
1t is evident the sewerage ques-
ton has taken a dirty direction
through the editorial room of the
Express, and, as from the mouth
of the private sewer under the EX-
press building, the public may ex-
pect to see disColOred and offensive
matter discharged through the
columns OF the Express.
Fortunately for the public, the
Express commands but little in
tluence, and its opposition to the
building Of sewers is attributed to
anything but disinterested mo-
tives.
The defeat of the sewer PROPOSE
ton would take down with it the
hope OF rescuing our city from its
present condition, it would kill for
long time, the proposition to
build sewers; it would almost ruin
our prospects in the future.
To hold out to the people that it
would be better to wait until after
the next city election to consider
this question is as dishonest as it
is unreasonable. The opposition
to the sewers springs from source
that does not want a sewer put
down for the next ten years.
If the sewer proposition fails
then hang up your fiddle and your
bow, Mr.. Grice; your tourist hotel
will never materialize, and if it
should, it will be only useful as a
home for bats.
Tourists will avoid a city with.
out sewers-capitalists will avoid
a city without sewers as they would

proposition and you will defeat

ON THE LOITER.

A sort of far away funeral air,
the other afternoon, permeated the
Commerce street building in which
is located the gorgeous geograph-
ical Joint where the NOmad club
holds its weekly revel in the occult
realm of thought, both psychical and
metapsychical, if you can stretch
your Imagination sufficiently to
conjure up meaning for this
latter word. Upon reaching the

of hurting at the head of

sarcasm, and as the weight and OBJ
righteousness of the missiles so
hurled invariably increase in di-
rect proportion to the intensity Of
the blues and dejeCtedness of the
hurlers | have gotten the pausing

funereal air on this occasion, how
ever, presaged nothing more Sc
rious than a veritable hurricane of
deep. far-reaching philosophi-
cal observations, fully worthy Of
the versatile geniuses composing
the club, which broke loose shortly
after my entrance. The general
