TIE HOME "GowS BUILDER. -

Very often indeed the amateur dress
maker finds herself face to face with
some difficulty which she thinks it i'm
possible to surmount aud she is dis
couraged and almost willing to give
the whole thing up.
One of these selt-confessed difficult
ties is the adjusting of hooks and eyes
so that they will not unfasten and
leave an unsightIy gap.
This diflicultyis obviated by sewing
on the hooks and eyes alternately,
instead of the hooks all on one side
and the eyes on the other. Sewed in
this way and placed close together,
not more than half an inch apart, the
dress will stay hooked. This is the
method employed by the best dress
makers. New York Advertiser.

Strange Incident of the Mails.

A lady in Boston wrote some letters
and sealed them, as is her custom, with
Moorish coin having a tiny hook in
its back. Her correspondents, says the
Boston Herald, all knew this peculiar
seal and how highly it is priced, from
its antiquity and the stylish form it
takes in the wax. Called suddenly
from the room, these letters were soon
after posted by servant in the nearest
box and not till then did the owner of
the rare coin miss it from the table.
The room was searched, and finally the
maid dispatched to await the letter
collector on his next round. But he
declared nothing had been seen of any
such seal, and then the search began
indoors again, but with no better luck.
A few days after this lady received
letter from Canada sealed with the IA
mlliar Moorish hieroglyphics. The
mystery was soon explained, for on
opening the envelope it was learned
that this heavy seal had stuck to the
letter sent from Boston, and, though
passing through SO many hands, had
arrived intact, to the great astonish-
ment of the recipient.

FORMED HIS OWN STYLES.
Ecceptricities of Francis Key Dunlop, of
Mashingtnn. " To Died Rcceatly

Eccertricities of Francis Key Dunlop, of
Washington, Who Died Recently.
Students of mental character have an
interesting study in the character of
Francis Key Dunlop. who died in Wash
ington recently, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Mr.. Dunlop
was known to everyone who has spent
much time in Washington during the
last third of century. At college he
was an athlete and developed himself
physically to a remarkable degree He
received a severe tall while still at col
lege, and this resulted in brain trouble
that made him the most eccentric man
in Washington in dress. Belonging to
one of the oldest and richest families
in Washington, he was supported with
an abundant income. The effort for
physical development he had made in
college caused an impression on his mind
which resulted in his padding his Shout
ders to a tremendous degree. With
this eccentricity he also had a ten
dency to large-sized collars and cuffs
the cuffs always being made to
order and twice the size ordinarily
worn by men. His neck he painted
red and his face was coated with white.
which gave him CHASTITY appearance.
This mode of attire Dunlop continued
to the day of his death, his clothes be-
ing made by the most fashionable tailor
here. During his earlier years he was
constant attendant at theaters and at
social events, for he never stood ION
any formality," and would go to recep-
lions without invitation, his well known
family always guaranteeing a kindly
reception for him in the coterie with
which he was familiar. But notwith-
standing these eccentricities, Mr.. Dun
lop is pronounced by men who knew
him most intimately to have been one
OF the soundest and most discerning
literary critics of his day. He left an
immense library, buying and reading
every new book of any note. Only
couple of weeks ago he visited the capt.
toll building for the last time, He was
nearly seventy years of age, and despite
the enormously padded shoulders and
arms walked feebly. He was the most
unique eccentric character that Wash
lngton has ever known.

The Kind of Cows to Keep.

A few years Of grading up by means
of using a thoroughbred male will give
any farmer herd of COWS which will
be great improvement upon those Of
their mothers and grandmothers. 1t is
well to test cows and know just what
they are doing. The churn is perhaps
the most satisfactory way of doing this
Keep a cows milk separate for one or
more days, being careful to get out all
the cream. When it is sour, churn it.
The scales will tell, both with milk
and butter, whether a COW is kept at a
profit or not. Remember that it costs
at least S35 to keep COW for year.
IT she does not return this in milk and
butter she is kept at loss. If all such
cows were discovered and slaughtered,
the number Of cows at the present
time would be considerably reduced,
and at great benefit to their owners.
Hardly one man in twenty knows
whether he is keeping his cows at a
profit or a loss. They think it is too
much bother to find out. They do not
realize the Importance of the subject.
1t means dollars and cents, but they do
not realize it, and go on wondering
where the profit goes.-Colman's Rural

COSTUMES FOR DOGS.
A Frenchman Who Poses as a Worth for
tho Pet Puppies of Paris.


tho Pet Puppies of Paris.
1t is interesting to learn through the
channel Of a Paris correspondent Of the
London Daily Graphic that the French
capital Can boast of q tailor for oct
dogs. The writer recently said:
No matter what the dress NAV be.
the Indispensable companion Of the
woman who walks is her little dog.
Short-haired terrier or long-haircd tov,

very tiny. At the moment. it is per-
haps the former which is the more
popular, as he furnishes further ex-
cuse for the exhibition of fur, in that
bis smooth coat does not appear to his
kindhearted mistress a sufficient pro-
lection from the cold Of this season of
the year. And SO the little dog has his
tailor even as his owner, and Lebouble
OF the Palais Royal may be called the
Worth of the kennel. With garments
OF velvet, trimmed with fur, or of cloth
strap, stitched and embroidered, the
clothing of the little creature harmo-
nlzes with that of his possessor Some
ladies provide mackintoshes for their
pets for rainy days, and have them
made with full hood, which covers
the ears. Others there are who choose
tartan, having points turned back at
the shoulders, and fastened with a strap
round the body. For those believed to
be particularly chilly, the coats are
provided with collars of quite Medici
style, and are lined throughout with
astrakan, or even beaver, as these short
furs are not too cumbrous for the pet
ted animals. There are some which
actually have umbrellas of dark-blue
silk, which they have been taught to
carry quite straight and steadily be-
tween their teeth in the event of a sud
den shower! They are also provided
with handkerchiefs in case of accident,
a tiny pocket in which to carry these
being placed on one side of the coat.
These handl1erchiefs, should add, are
found useful when madame stops a few
minutes at the confectioner's and can
wipe her pets nose and paws after his
