about two years ago.
Mrs. Clendenin is often present at the

CHEAP WASH GOODS.
Other good bargains in wash materials
may be recognized by the generally dusty
and tumbed air that distinguishes them.
In fact it is this very dirt and tumble that
marks the geDUineneSs of the true wash
bargain. When, then, the delights offered
are in the nature of handmade petticoat

A good way to rejuvenate a shop-worn
corset, or any other for that matter, is to
scrub it with brush dipped in a strong
solution of ammonia and water. All the
steels should be first removed, and the
corset then tackled to a board, on which
1T should be both scrubbed and dried. For
washing shirt waists in delicate cottons it
is best to use white CASTLE soap and dry
them away from the sun.

established fact, the trail of the bargain
hunter is now over the land
There are always women to whom bar

so no sooner is the flower OF the stock
picked over, than season by season goods
are reduced in price and tabled bargains"

must always have some drops of bitter, SO
she takes her disappointments like man.

Upon another occasion Gabrielle called
down upon herself the righteous indigna-

msdemeanor that required heroic treat
ment, namely, that her father should be
told just how naughty she was. He was
absent from home at the time, and the
case was laid before him in letter to
which speedily came back the reply: Yes,
Gable is reprobate, know, but then /

was not shown TO the young offender at the
time goes without saying.

Those Mythical BIoodbounds.

They say that at night the yard of the
Eastern penitentiary is patrolled by savage
bloodhounds that would tear limb from
limb any convict who sought to escape.
The story has been told so often that it is
generally believed, and residents of the
neighborhood tell of hearing the baying
of the hounds at night as they roam through
the yard OF the famous penal institute
A scribe, who credited the story, was
not long since escorted through the prison
by Warden Cassidy.
