HINTS ON MENDING.
There's Right Way and a Wrong Wa,
of Repairing Clothing.

There's Right Way and a Wrong Way
of Repairing Clothing.
Garments which will wear forever
without the need of mending have vet
to be invented, and in the meantime it
may be of some use to readers to have
few hints as to the best way of mend
ing their clothing. When putting
patch on an old dress no greater mis-
take can be made than to use piece Of
new material, for if the dress be at all
worn the patch will show very plainly,
while if the dress be made of washing
material it is very probable that new
patch will shrink and completely spoil
the appearance of the whole garment.
So be careful if you have to mend
dress made of print, muslin or any
other washing material, to wash the
piece from which you cut the patch, so
that the shrinkage will take place be-
fore the patch is put in. Never patch
a woolen dress, unless it is absolutely
unavoidable, but tack a piece of the
material underneath the weak place
and darn on the right side with the
ravelings, and, If carefully done, the
repair will hardly show.
When kid gloves split use fine cotton
of the same color as the glove for mend
ing in preference to silk, for it wears
better and is less likely to cut the glove;
It is an advantage to wax the cotton
before using it. When lace begins to
wear into holes, instead of drawing it
together as most people do, darn it
carefully with cotton. This will
strengthen the lace, and if neatly done
will be hardly noticeable.
In darning, whether wool, cotton or
silk be used, try to match the color of
the garment as nearly as possible.
Sometimes if garment be faded it is
necessary to expose the new material
used for mending it for some in the
sunshine to make it the right color

A Soap for Cleaning SILK.

A soap for this purpose is made by
heating one pound cocoanut oil to 96
degreess F., adding half pound caustic
soda and mixing thoroughly. Then
heat half pound white Venetian turpen-
tine, add to the soap and again mix
thoroughly. The mixture is covered
end left four hours, then heated again
and one pound of OK gall is added to it
and well stirred. Next pulverize some
perfectly dry curd soap and add it to
the gall soap in sufficient quantity to
make it solid-one or two pounds Of
curd soap will be needed. When cold
the mass should be pressed into cakes.

Line the basket with soft silk and make
two full pockets, one to be attached to
each side.
At the hardware shop buy quantity
of one-inch brass rings and crochet
them over with heavy knitting silk the
shade of the lining selected Arrange
these last in rows one below the other
to form lambrequins, and sew each fast
to the other at the points of joining.
Let each lambrequin end in point, and
to do so make each succeeding row of
rings two less than the last. Sew the
two fast, one to each side of the basket
at the rim, and then proceed toarrange
the stand.
Tie the three ends firmly together
with a bit of fine cord wound round and
round, then tie over it bow of hand
some ribbon. Stand the tripod upon a
table and hold the basket in place
while the point where each rod falls is
marked. Tie the basket firmly at each
of the three points and attach the three

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE PEsKY oocKRoAcH.
A Household Pest with = Comprehensive
and Ubiquitous Appetite.

n houbohOlu IeSJ with = COTnpTenenalwo
and Ubiquitous Appetite.
A very common dthen pest, hated by
the tidy housekeeper, yet rarely to be
entirely exterminated, Is the Ectobia
Germanica, whose family name is
Blattidae, which family belongs to the
order of Orthopetra.
But fine family names and lengthy
first ones do not always cover beauty
and agreeable habits. 1t seems almost
certain that if the distressed housewife,
who vainly sprinl1les pulverized borax
and insect powder around the kitchen
sink, was informed of the claims of this
small brown bug to so many imposing
Latin names, it would not move her
sympathies in the least. With charm
ing ipconsequence, she would probably
remark: $50 much the worse!" or,
at serves him rightl' and continue to
sprinkle her borax and insect powder.
She is right. The Ectobia Germani-
ca Blattidae does not object to borax-
while it's fresh-but when he goes he
says: eau revoir," and not: Good
by!" He goes to come again.
The croton bug, as his other name
denotes, is considered to have been a
German importation to this country,
says the New York World. A smaller
specimen is called Ectobia Laponica,
because it is common in Lapland. The
largest species of this family is the
Battidae Orientalis, which is the COM
mon black cockroach. In other coun-
tries it is known as the black beetle.
Under any name, these insects are
most unpleasant nuisances. The black
cockroaches are extremely repulsive OBJ
jects, and the small, brown "croton
bugs" are unpleasing enough to force
one to any measures to get rid of them.
But it is not true, as some people sup
pose, that dirt alone attracts these in
sects, or that careful cleanliness wilt
always keep them at distance. 1t is
not dirt they love, but dampness and
warmth. For this reason they infest
our water pipes, sinks and boilers, and
for the same reason cockroaches are
well-&nown torments on board ships,
and particularly around the boiler and
engine rooms.
For the same cause, and also on ac-
count of its fondness for wheat bread,
the "croton bug" is common in bake
shops, and bakers who are careful to
increase the size of their dough only
with legitimate materials must keep q
sharp lookout to restrict Mr.. Ectobia
Germanica to his proper place, which is
not in the currant cake.
Another place where the croton bug
Is well-lknown pest is the library.

Silver in China.

Since there has been no great influx
of silver into China - and China has
never had much silver = there has
been little chance of any great change
in the purchasing power of her silver
money. Although wages, rent and
taxes remain unaltered, still gold will
buy more than it would before. In
1893, four shillings in gold would buy
what it formerly took six shillings and
six pence to purchase. In other words,
sixty dollars in gold will do what for
merly required one hundred dollars.
Gold, however, is used in payment for
imports, while silver and copper re-
main the money of the people Wages
are very low, skilled workmen only
getting from ten to thirty cents per
day, while unskilled laborers sell their
strength for tve to ten cents per day
las computed in silver) In the case OF
China, the depreciation of silver has
had therefore but little effect upon
her masses. But it has not raised the
nominal wages of the working classes.

Here the small, brown creatures attack
the starch and sizing in the cloth bind
ings of the book and often eat the gilt
edges of books in their eagerness to
secure the albumen used therein. Nor
is it old books which attract them.
They are frequently found in fresh
packages sent from the bindery. And
this also proves that it is food and
warmth which they seek, and not dirt.
When q family or clan-for they
seem to arrive in clans-of croton bugs
take possession of kitchen sink it is
very difficult to dislodge them. Their
peculiar fiat bodies and their compressi-
BILE skin enable them to slip easily into
the narrowest cracks. They are noe
turnal insects, coming out to secure food
at night when the room is de serted.
Eternal vigilance and the continued
use of the borax will keep them within
reasonable bounds. Both are necessary,
for too much cleanliness in the prepara-
tion and care of food is impossible, and
croton bugs are clearly of the opinion
that the world owes them living.
The cockroach was an importation
from Asia to Europe, and this country
acquired it from the latter place. 1t
has been calculated that the first
Asiatic cocltroach set foot in England
four centuries ago.
They are among the most vivacious
and convivial of insects. They are ex-
tremely fond of beer, spirits, sirup and
all sweet things. If you approach the
pantry where there is large gather
ing of them you will hear noise like
heavy rain as they scamper away.
They show great ability in getting out
of sight.
They are remarkably impartial and
comprehensive in their diet. While
preferring the sweet things mentioned,
they eat all human food and also wooden
clothes, newspapers, blacking, ink,
leather, emery paper, their own cast-off
skins and their dead relations.
A naturalist of high reputation, Prof.
Mosely, of the Challenger, observed a
considerable degree of intelligence in
the coclSroach.
While on the ship he was continually
annoyed by huge specimen which
visited him at night and slipped the
moisture from his face and lips, there
by rendering sleep difficult.
Whenever the man moved the cock
roach sped to a bookshelf at the bot
tom of the bed. There he stood blink
ing his eyes and shaking his whiskers
derisively. When the other reached
for book or missile to throw at the
coclsroach he dropped to the floor and
disappeared. At last the man of sci
ence bethought him of the air-gun, and
herewith shot his tormentor. The
coclsroach was unfamiliar with this
weapon, and did not bulge whenit was
aimed at him.

Tho Fourteenth Indiana Proved Them
selves Invincible at Gettysburg.
Capt. David E. BEEN, president of
the First national bank of Spencer,
Ind, who commanded a company in
the Fourteenth Indiana infantry
throughout the war, says:
Among the many experiences of the
Fourteenth Indiana none was more
thrilling than that at Gettysburg on
the evening of July 2, 1863. After the
tremendous fighting of Gen. Siclsles'
Third corps during nearly the whole
of that day, down to the left of the
line, the confederates undertook to
capture Cemetery Hill by storm. This
was the key to the position, being the
apex of the horseshoe-shaped line of
battle; and if the enemy had succeed
ed in getting possession of it, a new
line of battle would have been nee
essary, and that would have been
ruinous

batteries of federal artillery, support

4 HoRRTBLE afuRDER.

William Krauer Found with His Throat
Cut from Ear to Ear-General Alarm Sent
Out for an mploye OF the Dead Wan,
New York, Nov 11.--Followlng close
upon the hold-up case in the Annexed
district, the entire police force and de-
tective bureau now have upon their
hands another murder, which was dis
covered this morning and which is sur
rounded by deep mystery.
William Krauer, a German, forty
years old, was found dead in his store,
1852 Second avenue, this morning, with
every evidence that he had been bru-
tally murdered, and general alarm
has been sent out for an unknown
young man whom he had recently en-
ployed
Circumstances make the police believe
that the crime was committed on Fri
day night.
The store in which the murdered man
was found was TO have been opened by
him as a cheap beanery.
He and the employee for whom the po-
lice are looking, had been fitting it up
since Friday last.
When found this morning the Ger
mans throat was cut from ear to ear.
His left eye had been gouged out and
lay upon the floor alongside of his
head.
His head was horribly battered and
hacked and there was every indication
that the man had made hard fight for
his life.
Upon the floor beside the dead body
were found brand new Ratchet cover
ed with blood and new meat knife,
with a blade about a foot long, the
blade of which was also smeared with
blood.
What had been a pool of blood soaked
