CRATHIE.s NATE TO BLAME.
Finding of the Admiralty I'm the Case
of the Elbe Disaster.

BREMERHAVEN, Aug. 12.-The Admi-
ralty Courr has rendered a decision in the
inquiry made into the sinking of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company's steam
er Elbe. in collision with the British
steamer Crathie, in January last The
court holds that the blame for the collision
must he attributed to the mate of the
Crathie, who deserted his post Immediately
before the occurrence and went into the
galley of the Crathie Continuing, the find
ings say that the officer in charge Of the
watch of the Elbe cannot, however. be freed
from the reproach that he omitted to get
out of the way of the Crathie by timely
manipulation of the helm and failed to at
tract the attention of the crew of the
Crathie by signaling with the steam whistle.
In regard to the step taken to save life
on board the Elbe after the collision oc-
Cured, the court holds that the orders
given by Capt Won Gosset and executed
by the officers and crew of the Elbe for that
purpose were deserving of praise. As to
the suddenness with which the Elbe foun-
dered. the finding of the court says that 1T
was not attributable to defects in her con-
struction, lack of seaworthiness or defects
in the equipment. loading or manning of
the vessel but solely to the severe damage
incurred which extended to the water-tight
compartment amidships, so that two of its
divisions were flooded. The Admiralty
Court adds that ii is considered desirable
that regular boat exercise should be prac-
ticed on all transatlantic vessels, and that
the individual duties of the crew should be
better understood than heretofore.
AS to the allegations made against the
commander of the Crathie, the Admiralty
Court finds no ground for censuring him or
the other navigators of the Crathie in re-
gard to their omitted attempts to save life
after the collision, as the Crathie, according
to the finding, suffered such severe in
jury that there was fear that she herself
would founder.
In conclusion the court finds that the con-
duct of the survivors of the crew of the
Elbe who were rescued by the British fish
ing smack Wildfower from an open boat
is deserving of recognition and that the res
cue of the shipwrecked people by the Wild
flower merits the highest praise.

Care of Stuffed Furniture.

That nat willow abominatiOn known as
a furniture whip, should never be allowed
to touch stuffed furniture, no matter how
cheap the covering, for the only result OF
its use is irreparable injury. The dust
which sifts through the covering settles
in the stuffing, and the sole action of the
whip is to bring this dust to the surface
in ridges which al future busting of
the outside fails to remove. Furniture
which has been treated in this way on
examination viii be found to bear dark
marks corresponding to the stroke OF the
whip and delicate colors, especially in bro
cateIle, lose their freshness and beauty
very soon, not from usage, but mis-
taken idea of their care
vi furniture should be protected frou
the dust as much as possible. When s
room is swept. all the lighter articles
should be removed and the heavier ones
covered loosely. A whisk broom and soft
cloth should then be employed to remove
the particles in the coverings. First a
good brushing with the broom then a
thorough wiping with the cloth, which may
be danpened if the fabric will stand it.
The woodwork is best cleaned with paint
brush, followed by damp cloth.
The dust which sifts through TO the
stuffing and springs never shows itself.
and while some super-fine housekeepers
may object that TO leave il undisturbed is
uncleanly and unhealthy. yet all the whip
ping in the world will not remove but a
tithe of that is inside, besides marking
the covering forever.

Language of the Fan.

Fans will be universally carried this
coming winter by women when in full
dress. They win be unusually small and
peculiarly rich in coloring, thereby add
ing a charming touch of color to light
toilets. In view of the fans return to
favor, frequent inquiry was made
concerning the different movements by
which the fan may communicate what its
owners lips cannot utter. These signals
though they sometimes vary are given
by an European authority as follows, as
being in most general use, and are known
as the Spanish method.
The closed fan means: Held In per-
pendicular position, like an exclamation
point, resting against the mouth and
chin, I've are noticed, take care" 2.
Held against the heart it says, BE sure
of my love" 3-Held in a horizontal po-
sition, with both arms hanging. il con-
veys the sorrowful message, '.All Is over
between u.s." 4-But IL the head leans
on the fan, 1t signifies the humble en-
treaty, ''Be kind again.
The half open fan says: 81 don't under
stand you, explain yourself more plainlyr'
If the fan is opened to its full Width. and
covers half the face, 1t means: ''I want
to speak to you!" If the lady fans herself
in the usual way, it means: Come. the
coast is clear!' II the opened fan is held
flat, like a waiter, it signifies There
is nothing more in our way, all the OBJ
stacles are removedr' But-if it is allowed
to fall negligently downward, it is meant
to express: II never cared for you, and
l never shall care!''

it realizes one of the many fancies of the
season.
The hat itself is of black felt, the quiIls
also, but the velvet ruches that surround
the crown are respectively in bright sap
phire blue and pale leaf green, the blue sur
mounting the green.
Under the brim at the back is scarf
of yellow lace looped each side the Golf
fure In rosettes with short ends.
POSSIBILITIES OF THE SCARF.
This lace scarf, whose draping possibili-
ties seem unlimited, is another cha racteristfc
feature of new millinery, and never was q
more cunning trick invented to promote be-
comingness-that is, from a rear and side
view; at the front it is not seen at all.
The lace used is point applique in tones

ECCENTRIC STYLES.

made by stretching the velvet plainly

GENTLE HoUsEHoLD nINrs.
That WIN Prove of Great Value to
Thrifty Mind.

Thrifty Mind.
For the careful housewife who is always
on the lookout for hints regarding the
proper care OF her possessions, the point
ers" which haye picked up herc and there
may be omewhat helpful.
For instance, notable housewife, who
always keeps everything in the traditional
''spic and SPAN order, tells one that the
best way to restore Ivory to its former
whiteness, when not stained, is to rub it
with powdered burnt pomice stone and
water and then place 1t under a glass in
the suns rays.
To polish ivory, first smooth the surface
with the finest sandpaper, then apply
whiting on bit of flannel, rubbing it wen.
The whiting may be wet with oil or water.
Finish by rubbing the ivory wit
slightly oiled bit OF linen cloth. OrmoIu
may be cleared with ammonia or spirits
OF wine.
Leather chair seats may be frightened
and revived by rubbing them with the
white OF an egg. Leather bookbindings can
also be improved by the same treatment.
The transformation which / brought about
by the application OF ink and white OF egg
to black leather shopping bag ternpts
one to mention the fact, for possibly some
new woman" is balancing the pros and
cons of discarding favorite bag which
has seen its best days.
Don't throw it away, instead, mix some
ink with white or egg on saucer and
give the bag one or two coats of it-just as
you polish your boots with liquid dressing
and il your experience is similar to mine,
you viii never regret the operation nor
viii you be obliged to buy new bag for a

how to get in it.

HARRASSED MOTHERS.
Relieved by Providing n Indoor Play
room for Outdoor Sports

II possible, arrange a play room for the
children BY this do not mean Il nursery
where dressing. lessons, meals, and kin
dergarten work are done, but rather an
apartment designed for what might be
termed outdoor sports.
Very cold days this attic or basement
room might be warmed with coal, oil
or gas stove, if there is no other method
of heating. If this is impractical, how
ever, do not in consequence give up the
idea of q play room. There are rainy
days in Summer and many inciement but
mild ones in winter when an unreStrained
indoor frolic will be a great treat TO the
children of this veneered age, when the
grandmother's attic is tale of the past
In winter the children can don over
shoes, play coat, cap and mittens, and
with shovel, hoe and wheelbarrow en-
joy many an hour with an indoor sand
pile, and, we venture to say, tired mother
and nurse will enjoy that hour as well.
Another feature for a play room is
blocks, and plenty of them, cut as large
as ordinary bricks-so that they can be
easily handled with ''mittened" hands,
and ''carted about in express wagon or
wheel-barrow
An unemployed" carpenter ought to
manufacture dozens of these wooden
bricks in a day out of the right kind OF

This Monern Venther


John Anderson, my 10, John,
When nature fipst begun,
We had no need to listen to
A man called Sergt. Dunn.
When summer died and fall set in
The mercury went down;
And folks were glad to leave the 81
And hasten back TO town.
But in observatory days
Such things seem wholly changes;
The weather never shows itself
As seasons have arranged.
When it should be cold. It's blazing hoe
And vice versa, too;
Until the man with tender lungs
Is puzzled what TO do.
With anxious eye. one autumn morn
You scan the weather news
To find out whether flannels or
Light gauze to wear you'll choose.
And Dunn, up in the eerie loft,
Says, -Cold and dry, wind high"
And all that day you mop your brow
In vain for air yGl sigh
Another time: Nv arm wave" SAP
Dunn.
In feyerish haste you don
The hat of straw and outing shirt
Tha. out of date are gone.
Then down the mercury will sink,
The rain begins to drip,
And, shivering, off to bed you go,
With a bad attack OF grip.
Oh, would we could go back once more
To glorious times of old,
When summer days were always warm
And winter always cold
When Dunn was never listened to,
And fashion had no say,
md man could wear light straw hat
whene'er he felt that way!

New York, Oct. 19.-Hats have grown

indeed gem effects abound in the new
millinery, though all are not in good taste,
and little bit of glitter goes great way.
The new chameleon and Persian rib
bons are put to modish account in rosettes
and great fly away bows.
Other rosettes will be made of solid
taffeta ribbons, put on in numbers, and in
tones that blend into each other " ith the
wonderful flower shadings of the summer.
An adorable round hat trimming in this
way was of brown felt with velvet rosettes
in all the mellow reds, browns and yellow
of nasturtiums. A ''flat' of royal pur-
pie had rosettes in shaded violets and black
ostrich tips.
DEATH OF THE FLOWERS"
Flowers are conspicuous by their alb
sence; knot of vioiets or crush roses will
be seen at rare intervals, underneath a
brim, as If half in the hair. But even then
they are looked at askance, having been
withered by the frost of modish dis
approval.
In the way of other trimmings, some
of the fine French hats show sometimes
sable tails or little animal heads mixed
in with soft laces, and there are osprey
aigrettes, wings and whole birds.
In color combinations green and brown
soft wood browns and dim artistic
greens-is one extremely elegant and
vastly becoming to blonde women OF the
rubbish type.
One of the plainest hats seen-and by
no means the least effective-was a big
shape of dull red felt crossed simply in
front by great bow Of black ribbon.
WEARING ONES HAT.
As to posing your hat on your head,
receipts vary apparently according to the
cut OF the chapeau. For example, it is
observed that If the hat is g. walking
shape, with English 1eanings, the smart
milliner plants it straight up and down,
not allowing IL to tilt a hairs breadth at
any quarter. The felt hats described,
and which are turned up at the back,
are tilted slightly over the forehead,
as they are worn in Paris; and especially
with these the veil has the straight cur
tain hang OF the summer.
