Making Billiard Cushions.

The making of billiard cushions is an
important industry, but is carried on
by two or three firms alone, and while
the story of the difficulty which has
been overcome in preventing the ball
from sinking into the rubber and thus
destroying the angle desired to be taken
is An interesting one it has been told
before and will not be repeated now.
In the early days Of the industry the
manufacturer employed valve rubber
and obtained a much better price for it
when it was worked up into the cush-
ion.
Then the cushion maker set his, wits
to work to get the valve rubber cheap
ly, but in those days it was strongly
held, and none was allowed to pass to
that industry unless it paid the en-
HANGED royalty. Finally the combina-
ton was broken by a firm in Pittsburg
ordering the valve rubber ostensibly for
ordinary use, but shipping it back to
New York for the intended purpose.
So skiIlfully and patiently was this
done that Il great quantity was accumu-
lated, and the valve rubber man threw
up the sponge. Now billiard cushions
are made Of nodded rubber, an evOlu-
ton which came along later Hard
ware.

women Of Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, La, Jan. 25.--The
women of Louisiana have gone into
politics. About three weeks ago
the Woman's Club joined forces
with the w. G. T. U. and protested
to the city against the rapidity with
which licenses are being issued for
bar-rooms. Mayor Fitzpatrick gra-
ciously received the ladies', read
their document and quietly pigeon
holed it.
Instead of permitting the matter
to die, the Woman's Club called a
mass meeting of women 10 consider
the question. When the meeting
convened it's projectors were sur
prised to see representative com
mittees from every woman's organ
ization in the city, the almost lnnu-
merable female benefit organizations
here making this very large crowd.
The unanimous support OF their pc
sition caused the ladies to organize
permanently for the purpose eft 60
ing into an active campaign against
liouor. Some of the most emlnt So
cietv women in New Orleans are at
the head of the movement, and
they have already collected con-
siderable funds for their work.
Resolutions indorsing the move
ment have been received from near
lv every feminine association in the
state. The labor organizations yes
terday resolved to follow the lead
of the ladies. and as the laboring
element has been one of the maln-
stays of the present municipal ad-
minstration their action has con-
siderable significance. The new
crusade is to be an unremittingly
aggressive one and will be serious
factor in city politics.

years he has filed several positions in

When the Dressmaker Comes.

A dressmaker in the house is a good
deal of bother. for one reason because
she is obliged to make so much litter
with her cutting of scraps. A guard
against this is to have covering on
hand for the carpet where she is to
sew. Make it of cheapest material;
calico will do, but it must be stout.
Take several breadths of four yards
each and sew together Keep this

uses and when she has finished gather
