 Becomes a Comparatively Easy One.
 There arc few III ,r, | pressing sights than half dozen shirts with worn bos- oms, rough collar bands and frayed wristbands hut perfectly whole muslin bodies and sleeves The muslin part be- ing good means to the economical housewife tho task of replacing the old bosoms with new ones and thereby saving at least one half the value of new shirt. X writer who has had experience i'll this matter of shirt repairing tells her plan in Harper's BaZar. She says
 The shirts were washed for the pur- pose of removing every vestigo of starch, then ironed smooth. A different course was followed with each one, according to its need of repairs. If the neckband was worn beyond repair it was ripped of and pattern taken from it. This was a very careful piece of work, for al most everything depends upon the size and shape of the neckband.
 Then, instead of removing the old bosom, which was entirely whole around its outer edge, there was cut shield shaped piece of linen to reach down as low us the vest opening and correspond ingly wide, the curve at the neck being carefully followed, allowance being made for the plait ill front. This was laid over the old bosom, copying the plait by pressing the new linen under folds of the old plait. After basting, the whole thing was stitched with exceed ing nicety. Here was new bosom and not one-quarter tho time or the material consumed as ill the old way.
 In case tho buttonholes of tho neck band were whole and the band simply worn at it's edge, it was loosened only in front, where the new linen of the bosom was to be placed, then restitched and its upper edge bound with fine linen tape.
 Wristbands in the same condition were smoothly trimmed off and similar ly treated, except that very much wider braid was used, which, instead of fol- lowing the rounded ends, was finished of straight, gener 1us turn in being al lowed, so as to make the corners suffi- ciently thick. Where new wristbands are needed it is better to cut off the old ones. thus affording fresh place for the gathers. Muslin was used for both neck and wrist band The back yokes were strengthened by a narrow tape stitched.

CAPTAIN ALBERT pREYFUs.

rested charged with having betrayed important secrets of the ministry of war to foreign government The actual charges were shrouded in secrecy, but French newspapers declared that Drey fus had betrayed or sold important mil itary information to the German em- bassy in Paris. This allegation connect ing the German government officially with such n treasonable and dishonest transaction rekindled the flame of hatred that smolders ill French hearts and created great excitement ill Germany. Fuel was added to the blaze by the statement that the principal evidence against Drryfus was a letter in his handwriting stolen from the German embassy.
 The Berlin press indignantly denied that the German embassy was implicat- ed ill any such dishonorable transaction, and Count von Muenster, the German embassador 10 France. lodged diplomat ic protest with the French government The French minister of war guardedly disparaged the idea that the German embassy was involved officially in the affair. but the press of Paris continued to reiterate the charge.
 Meanwhile Captain Dreyfus was kept a close prisoner. and his friends were prevented from communicating with him. The minister of war ordered a court martial to try Dreyfus. and when it met its sessions were conducted with closed doors. The alleged Dreyfus letter ''tound" at the German embassy was unsigned, but the court martial decided that it was in Dreyfus' handwriting. After trial of two days he was con victed, and the council of revision con firmed his sentence, which is the severest penalty applicable in time of peace Dreyfus' appeal for a new trial was re fused, and dishonor and life imprison ment HOW stare him in the face.

He Couldn't Find the Place.

Well, boys" said old Bob, "I do not know why it is, but as a matter of fact am reminded of an old time story of an old timo ignoramus-that is, only so far as school learning goes. He was an old gentleman of the utmost integ- rity of character, but keen as a brier i'll all business matters, who from lack of early education sometimes made sad mistakes in his use of language. Al though largely engaged in shipping, he was profoundly ignorant of geography.
 He came one day-it was ill New York-with a letter in his hand, which he had just received, into an insurance office, and asked to see a chart of the Mediterranean. It was promptly un- rolled, and after spending long time in apparently unsatisfactory examina- tion the curiosity of the president of the office Was excited. and he offered his aid to assist him ill his trouble
 "'Why, said the old gentleman, I have just got letter from one of my captains, who states that ho has cxperi- enced violent hurricane and conse- quently put i'll great jeopardy. Now. l know Great Jeopardy is n port i'll the Mediterranean, but 1 cant find the plaguy place on the map. "-Boston Herald

Japanese Mail Advices.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Late newspaper mail advices received at the Japanese le- gation are to the effect that the reform programme presented to the Korean gov ernmcnt by the Japanese is raking satis- factory progress. This programme. accord ing to Tho Jigi, embraces 20 propositions and was presented to the king of Korea on the 3Uth and 2lst of November and was approved by him
 The Tai Won Kun, until recently tho aged regent of Korea, and who was de- posed for sending letters to the Chinese generals in PhyonS- Yang, has apologized to the Japanese representative and declar- ed by way of showing his repentance that he should not take any further part in the active politics of the country. To ques- tion from the Japanese minister whether he would pledge his honor not to interfere any longer in administrative affairs either covertly or uvertly he answered dejectedly in the affirmative. He further asked the minister to employ all his ability for tho reform of Korea, and also asked pardon for his favorite grandson, who had taken prominent part in the same matter.
 The letters referred to promised the Chi nose generals that on the approach of their troops to Seoul he (the Tai Won Kun) would instigate the Tonghaks to rise and attack the Japanese from their rear. They were found among the documents that the Japanese seized in the Chinese camps at PhyOng Yang
 The only difficulty at present. on the hor- iZon of Korean politics is said to be the ambition of the queen to interfere in state affairs Obliged to curb her ambition while her enemy. Tai-Won- Kun. was at the head of the administration. she is now secretly watching an opportunity to re- gain her former position, and such an op- portunity has presented itself in the grad ual wanc of the old statesman $ power and his ultimate retirement
