Use sand.

One OF the c'eanest and incest play
things In the world for a little child Is
sand. In Summer a load of 1t dumped
In clean spot in the backyard Will
amuse the little ones for hours each day.
They love to shovel 1t. build miniature
forts. make gardens. with grass or
plants, and dig wells. Washed sand Is
as clean as sawdust. and a child can
play in 1t in Its white frocks and not
soil its clothes. For Winter playing a
bushel Of sand can be kept Just outside
the door. A shallow box Of few inches
in depth and two or three feet square
can easily be made. Spread a lot Of
newspapers on the floor, set the box in
the middle, fill 1t with sand and turn
the children loose. Teach them not to
get off the newspapers with It, and they
will play all day In It and not litter the
house half as much as though they had
cut paper or scattered toys.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

The Coxeyites must behave them
selves II they expect to be welcomed by
the society people of Washington and
to have the courtesics OF the capital eN-
tended to them.
In Montana some OF them broke into
Northern Pacific round-house last
Monday night, seizod an engine and
train, manned them from former rail
road employees in their own ranks and
started East, running at the rate Of
forty miles nm hour. Considering that
they were ignorant of the roads time
schedule. this was rather a risky busl-
ness to others besides themselves.
over in Jersey city n division OF the
grand army was not quite as successful
with its railroad experience as its
comrades in Montana. More than n
hundred of them gathered at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's freight
yard at West End early yesterday morn
ing and boarded an empty freight train
that was to start south Mt 6 o'clock
The chief gateman shrewdly tele-
graphed to the Jersey City police to be
in readiness I'm force: waited until all
the unlimited passengers were in the
freight cars then locked the doors and
started with his load for the city. in
stead of heading south.
When the army" saw where they
were going they managed with some
difficulty to break open the doors,
jumped out nj tile" risk -or life and limb,
and scattered for parts unknown.
Washington society. owing to the
presence OF Senators and Congressman,
Is very mixed. but II cannot stand such
doings as those. The Coxeyites must
learn to behave themselves II they cx-
pect to be welcome at the National cap

stealing railroads. The Washington
people want to reserve that business for

Baby's Spring Cloak.

The most useful cloak for a baby for
the Spring and Summer months Is a fine
washing serge or twill flannel in ivory
white, lined with cream colored surah
and outlined with three or five rows of
silk braid and edged with full frills OF
antique Valenciennes or a fine woollen
lace, II Its washing capabilities have
been first tested. The ordinary double
cloak requires one and three-quarter
yards of double width cashmere. or the
Partisan shape one and a half yards.
For lining the ordinary cloak allow one
and half yards of silesia for the under
cape and two and n half yards Of surah
or twill silk for lining the top cape and
collar throughout. and half width of
silk each side, TO face the front OF the
lower cape. If lace Is used very full all
round the top cape allow six yards for
cape and collar but let the cloak be
quite finished before this Is added.
