the verdict of these people is on such
subjects. As matter OF fact, II does
not take very great deal of skill or
sense to make over fur garment IL
one brings little reason and judg-
ment into play. First of all, is nee
essary TO have very sharp knife to-
cut the fur, all of which is done on
the back or skin side. Whatever pat
tern is required must be marked on
with n pencil, then the skin is cnt ac1
cording to the marks.
"Not long since n lady had very
large and handsome cloak lining oil
ermine. 1t was quite as good ns new,
never having been worn but once OF
twice, but had lain awny among some
ancestral iinery. Upon asking the
advice of furrier, she was told that
the fur was worth but very little that
she might possibly use it for trim
mings or something, but in CONNER
cal sense, it had no value whatever.
Disguised and disappointed, she went
home with her parcel, and after re-
covering from the blow, made up her
mind to- see what she could do with il
herself. Using little mother-wit and
n grent deal of care, she fashioned a
cape lining from the contemptuously
treated material that was the envy OF
all her friends"
Most ermine is made up in strips,
and in order to make the best of it II
is well to rip these strips apart. Each
one will then contain row of black
tails, which are the distinguishing fea-
lures of this fur. For the present
style of cape, one may take accurate
measures, cut out little V-shaped
piece from the top edge, sew up the
place, then split the lower edge and
insert the V. This gives the circles
necessary for the cape. OF course,
this may be II slow and tedious,
process, but it brings the desired re-
suit and utilizes the material to the
best advantage. In order to shape
the lining properly, the cloth or an
inner lining should be cut of precisely
the size. Spread this on table and
baste the fur on as fast us it is finished,
frequently spreading it out and
smoothing it to see that is in symmet-
rical fern. When the lining is fin
ished, it should be nearly or quite
an inch narrower than the circle
of the outside. This is necessary, be-
cause if il is ms wide by measure,
when the garment is ON, the lining
will hang full and interfere with the
fit of it. If one has n skirt form, it is
good idea to put the cape upon this,
having drawn in the belt tape 10 the
smallest limit, then shake the material
and pat it smoothly, putting in an oc-
casional fine needle or n stitch OF fine
thread to keep in place. 1t must be
only just so much smaller as to be
smooth. Ii it is too tight, the outside
will bag and be ungraceful.
In finishing fur Innings the edges
should be turned in and sewed down
with n tape. Just how this is done
one may best ascertain by ripping
few stitches in handsome fur gar
ment and examining the way in which
the edges are turned. The stitches can
easily be replaced, and the knowledge
acquired in this way is worth all the
trouble it costs. New York Ledger.

found in performing autopsies that the
brain was more or less lacerated in re-

immediate death. He said further that
when he examined Riordon year ago
he found symptoms of the disease as
described by him. and. taking into
consideration with the swelling Of Ri

had symptoms of dropsy. At that time
he warned Riordan not to drink alco-

to-day that the London proposal of

which amajority Of the Great Northern
party concur, that until necessary leg
islation is secured the Great Northern
cannot fulfill legally the proposal Of
guaranty made in its interests. Still
all OF the parties engaged In the nego-
tiations are acting In harmony and an
effort is being made to rcestablish end
maintain harmonious relations between
the properties they represent.
