Dam Breaks Above Altoona.

ALTOONA, Pa. May 21.-The dam in
the horseshoe curve. above this city,
broke at 1880 o'clock last night,
thirteen feet of it being carried away.
The people living in the valley had
ample time to get out of the way of
rushing water. If the heavy rainfall
continues the rest of the dam will
probably be carried away. Altoona
gets its water supply from this body
of water.

Marking Linen.

While it may in some cases be nee
essary to mark linen by stamping or
writing with an indelible ink, this is
only to be tolerated for the most or
binary articles, under circumstances
forbidding the employment of more
approved methods. An embroidered
letter or letters is the proper way of
marking, and the current fashion,
which is very sensible one, gives
neat and plain, though artistic, letter
ing, in place of the highly ornamental,
involved and illegible letters and
monograms which were recently so
much in fashion. Then, that fashion
which combines fitness will be the
most enduring, or it might perhaps
be said, will always b, appropriate.
whether it holds the first place in
temporary popularity or not
According to the authoritative
statements, the French or raised satin
stitch is now considered the right
thing in marking linen. In most cases
pure white is to be used though in
toweling tinge of red may be en-
ployed, and where colored articles
are to be marked such shades are
allowable as will blend tremendously
with the main colors. The tendency
now is in quite large letters, but this
is doubtless temporary fashion, and
the thoughtful housekeeper can well
be little conservative in this direc-
ton, with view to what will be in
vogue before her linen is worn out.
The initials for such marking may
be either regularly stamped upon the
fabric, or they can be transferred
from the design by means of carbon
paper. For the latter purpose the
paper known as "semi-carbon" is the
best, being coated upon only one side
and that side is, in using, to be laid
next the goods to be marked, Place
the design over all, with the face
toward the operator, and with a blunt
point, such as a stylus or hard PEN
Gil, go carefully over the outlines,
taking care not to allow any of the
papers to move during the process.
This operation is very simple, and may
be- successfully carried through by
any person with ordinary care. The
outlines thus secured are to be run
with embroidery cotton, and the space
between them is padded with a long
and short running stitch, or any other
favoritc stitch which may be pre-
ferred.-Good Housekeeping.

To whiten the Teeth.

A homcly set of teeth will spoil the
prettiest mouth ever fashioned after
Cupid's bow-string. On the other
hand, commonplace face becomes
positively attractive when the lips
open and disclose two rows of clean,
well-kept worries. They need not be
like dentifrice advertisements, and
the "pearls" of the old-fashioped
heroine are in this practical age but
lightly esteemed. But there must be
about the well-groomed mouth a
wholesome, cleanly look. -Precepi-
tated chalk will keep the teeth in fine
condition. Have box of it always
on your toilet stand and see what it
will do toward freshening up dingy

Laugh.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as sunbeam in a sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
one cares TO hear whether you have
the earache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out Of place in
real lite. Learn to meet your friends
with smile. The good humored man
or woman is always welcome, but the
dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not
wanted anywhere, and is nuisance
as well.

For the Luncheon Table.

If you want some new relishes for

deserves degree from the college of
cooks.
The first is tomato jelly made

onnaise of celery.
Another is a mixture Of stewed cell
cry and cheese. Cut head of celery
in small pieces, boil until tender in
sailed water, drain, and mix with
half pint of drawn butter, an ounce
Of grated cheese, and salt and pepper
to taste. Bake in a buttered pudding
dish or in scallop shells. Scatter the
top lightly with grated cheese. Brown
in a quick oven.
A third is for eggs Drowned in but

Melt large tablespoonful of butter
in the frying-pan, slip the eggs one by
one, all previously broken on plate,
into it when hot, and haste as the
whites set. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and lift to heated dish; melt
a little more butter until brown and
add full tablespoonful of vinegar.
Boil up once and pour over the eggs.

Conee and Tea.

Coffee and tea suffer more in the
making from the hands of their
friends than ever less cheerful friends
could ever deserve. Doctors agree
that simple infusion of either tea or
coffee is not harmful, but rather
beneficial. Boiling either beverage
renders it more or less indigestible
as the boiling process is long or short.
Keeping either coffee or tea on the
stove from one meal to another, or
while one meal is in preparation, is
simply heathenish. We have all
become educated to the point Of
acknowledging that unboiled tea is
more palatable than the bitter boiled
stuff, but coffee lovers still claim that
it must have more than this process
to draw forth its full strength and
aroma. For them the concession is
made that the coffee be kept at the
boiling point for four or five minutes
no longer-before it be saved.

Dainty Little Mrs. Yang Yu.

Undoubtedly the most interesting
woman In the world of Washington
society just now is Mrs. Yang Yu, the
dainty little wife of the new Chinese
minister, says q writer in Harper's
Weekly. She lives a secluded life out
in the brown-stone building of the
Chinese legation on the breezp hills
at the. outskirts of the city, peculiar
feature of which is that the butler Is
an Irishman and the rest of the poo
pie all Chinese. Her dresses, when
she appears in public in her carriage,
are marvels of artistic work and effect
They,4ar heavily embroidered with
the most lavish and brilliant needle
work, and have many more hues than
the most ambitious rainbow. Her
carriage cloak is of brocade lined with
-Thibetgoat skin. Few are the people
who have seen her, inside her
legation castH. The only ones
who have obtained this priv
ilege are Mrs. Gresham and
Nine. Romero, the wife Of the Mex
lean ministsrs tMrsf Yang sYu does
mot speak English, although she Is
-studying the Language under one of
the secretaries of the legation as
tutor. All of the furniture in her
house is of American make, and only
the quaint screens and gorgeous hang
ings proclaim that it is the American
home Of the orient. In the house she
wears on each side of the head, just
above the ear, two bouquets of arti-
fetal flowers, standing straight out in
front. When she appears In a car
riage she wears round Tartar turban
bordered with sea otter and finished
at the back with two long streamers
of red satin. Rank in China is divided
into nine classes, each denoted by a
button. The present minister be-
longs to the second rank and he ac-
cordingly wears a bright red button
on his cap. This button is an in
dispensable part of his costume.
There are two children at the lega-
ton, two tiny tots, who are always
decked in long brocaded robes and
crowned with gorgeous caps of flowing
ribbons. Each of the children has
three persons to guard her, nurse
and man and a woman besides.

FERGUSON DISTRICT.

Assays of 81 and $ll have recently been

Minnesota claim owned by Lawry, Devlin

begin work there next week. The claim
lies about mile east of the April Fool mine
on the south slope of the hills and has a
good surface showing.
Work on the Flagstaff continues and
while the mine shows up no greater amount
of ore than it did short time ago, all indi-
cations lead to the belief that valuable

be regarded as a good proposition, but at

ton will not pay to mine and work, and this
value would require reduction works some.
