woman in a car who had her fare ready when the
conductor came to collect It. They sit absolutely

until tho conductor makes his appearance. when

To Foot Stockings,

Here is a good way to foot stockings.
Taking the WORKOUT sock, old it on the
seam, and where the heel merges into
the leg begin TO cut, and keeping half
way TIVE the two edges, cut off the
under part, then cut open the heel seam,
and. spreading out the part cut away
from the stocking, make a paper pattern
from which to cut out a new bottom of
cloth. Fold this together in the middle
and stitch together the rounded edges for
a new heel. then, unfolding, stitch the
new bottom into the stocking, holding
the former towards you. as on account Of
the room for seam and shrinkage, which
Of course, was allowed in cutting the
pattern, 1t will be larger than the stock

BROCKWAY's PLEAS.

Gov. Flower is a man OF large heart.
warm sympathies and strong common
sense. Probably no person in the State
In more shocked than the Governor at
the crueltles practised on the unfor-
tunate pr~isoners In the Elmira Re-
formatory or more anxious to rescue the
victims of the cold-blooded Super
intendent from the fortunes inflicted
Upon them.
The brief ~allusion to the matter In the
recent message, restricted as it was by
the unfinished investigation, showed
plainly that the Governor would have
made short work with the Superintend-
ent II he had possessed authority over
him. But the law puts the power OF re-
moving that officer wholly in the hands
Of the Managers, and they show by a
recent report backing up the Super
that they are In sympathy
with him. The Governor can, however,
remove the trustees with the consent OF
the Senate, and he ought to make the
attempt to do so.
While Brockway remains in charge,
every Judge and every prosecuting off,
Ger should follow the example OF Judge
Seaver and the Dlstrict-Attorney OF Buff
falo, and refuse to send any prisoner
to the Reformatory until a change takes
place In the superintendency.
The effort now being made to prove
that some prisoners have been treated
humanely by Brockway is a ridiculous
phase of the defense. What would rave
been thought of a plea In Carlyle Har-
ris's case that he was not guilty of poi
his girl wife. because he had made
many other women his victims and had
murdered any OF them?
Brockway must go. The horrors OF
Elmlra must be stopped. The torture
must be closed forever. Gov.
Flower, who has plenty OF courage and
determination, must take care that this
Is done.

The Seven Problem.

To tho Editor:
The problem Of the numbers OF which the sum is
I and the product II is solved by the rule that
the difference OF the square OF the sum OF any two
numbers and four times their product Is the
square OF their difference. The square OF the sum
Is ~. from which we subtract four times their
product. or a. which gives the square Of their
difference Is 1886. Now we have the sum
of two numbers, 7, and their difference,
?.2S6. From which we get the two mum
bers by taking one-half the sum OF the sum
and difference and one-half the difference OF the
sum and difference, which gives us 4.6ls and . .3s2
