MAKING OVER SKIRTS.
An Efectual Remedy for One That La
Good But Too Short.

An ERectual Remedy for One That La
Good But Too Short.
One OF the trying things careful
woman has to undergo is the accumu-
lation of skirts whose bindings about
the hem are muddied and frayed. The
old binding may be tipped off and
new one put in place, and the skirt
neatly prepared for more wear. But
there comes time when the skirt will
be entirely too short should another
binding be attempted, but the skirt is
nice one. little soiled, perhaps, but
too short for mending. If the goods is
black. SO much the better. as good black
always makes over to greater salts
faction than colors. Rip it carefully
apart, take the stiffening out and wash
the goods nicely. When dry enough
press it smooth and free of wrinkles,
and put in new interlining of stiffen-
ing. About the hem put another piece
of black goods to make what is lacking
in length. This should be bias. To
cover the seam four little folds of black
silk are put on, one just above the other
very much after The fashion of mill
liners folds. If the skirt is still too
short and fits smoothly over the hips,
a yoke may be fitted very neatly;
pointed yoke of the silk folded like the
bottom trimming, and above that
about the waist ribbon belt fastening
in looped bow at the back of the belt
and yoke will make the garment the
desired length and add a smart finish.

The wife OF it's present owner was sew
en- years old in 1S48. She was a slave
child then in the District of Columbia
Her mother belonged to resident of
the district, who hired her out to q
market gardener, who, with his broth
er, supplied the Washington maket
with vegetables. The man and his
brother were from Connecticut, and
did not believe in slavery. One day
the woman went to her employers in
great distress. She had learned that
her owner had sold her to South Car
olina planter, and that she was soon
to be sent away with her child. The
Connecticut gardener resolved to res
cue the woman from her fate and pre-
serve her to her child. They made a
box to fit the running gear of wagon
i'll which they carted their vegetables
to market. Into this they put bedding
and supply of provisions and water.
Holes were bored in the bottom of the
box for ventilation. One night the
slave and her child were placed in the
box and boards were nailed over the
top. One of the brothers drove away
with them, and the next morning was
in Pennsylvania, where he delivered his
charge to trusted agent of the Under
ground railway. He was back home
before the disappearance of the slave
had been discovered.
The woman and her child remained
in the box % days, when they were de-
llvered to Col. Shepard, at Warsaw,
the journey having been made by
round about and isolated ways through
the wilderness of Pennsylvania and
New York. The slave mother never re-
covered from the hardships of the jour-
ney, and died soon after reaching War
saw. Col. Shepard took charge of the
child and secreted her near Arcade.
Her safety being assured as time
passed. she was taken by a Warsaw
family, with whom she lived until she
married well-to-do William Burgh lrdt,
whose parents were fugitive slaves.
With him she is passing her declining
years in ease and comfort.-N. Y. Sun.

Proportion and symmetry.


What as a well-proportjoned waist?
Lady Haberton says: 'sThe true pro-
portion is q difference of ten inches be.
tween the circumference of the bust
and that of the waist. Thus woman
whose bust measures 36 inches should
have waist measuring 90 inches. Bust
40 inches, waist 80 inches, and so on.
Very few corsets are made in this pro.
portion, and if they were, still fewer
people would buy them, as fashion dc.
crees that the waist should measure
from IL to Is inches less than the bust
In the course of time, women may come

only attained by a proper respect for
proportion and symmetry. Plenty &C.

NO DECISIVE NEWS.
Spanish Minister Does Not Expect a
Pitched Battle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Span
ish minister, Senior Dupuy de LONE,
does not expect to hear Of any decisive
battle in Cuba unless the Spanish
troops should be so fortunate as to
corner the Cubans. S He says that
Maceo has no force with which he can
give battle. The Spanish troops, he
thinks, will have to chase the insur-
gents from place to place. destroy their
supplies and plantations. and prevent
them from reaching points where they
can secure new supplies. In case Gen.
Weyler's troops are able to get the in
SurgentS In corner. there may be
battle Of some Importance, but other
wise, the Spanish minister does not look
for a pitched battle. He says the
fighting must be like fighting Indians
in this country, driving the insurgents
from one cover to another. He does
not look for important advices from
Cuba, except possibly the death of
Maceo, which he believes would mean
the end of the war. He estimates the
force which Maeeo is able to collect and
control at three to four thousand men.
The subject Of hostilities between
Spain and the United States was men
toned, and the Spanish minister met
it with q gesture of deriSion, and de-
clared it was sensationalism. He said
that in this country there were jingo-
lists, who wanted to make Uncle Sam
great bully, whereas he was a peace
able and goodnatured gentleman. There
was in Spain a class Of jingoists who
were of the same kind and who were
always anxious to stir up trouble He
said that Spain's position was to take
care Of her own, and defend herself,
and that was what she was doing now.
The Spanish minister is well pleased
with the success Of the Spanish loan
He received a cable message today
saying that more than $500, 0000 900 had
been subscribed, which he says refutes
the assertion that Spain is poor and
bankrupt nation, unable longer to carry
on the Cuban war.

CHILLICOTHE, o., Nov. &c. B.
Holloway, Of Holland, O., and o. u.
Gum, of Maumee, arrived in the CITY
today to secure certified copies Of a
deed, which, it is claimed will establish
their title to a vast tract Of seven
million acres Of land in the Northwest.
On this land are located the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. and also
eleven smaller towns. A number of rail
roads also traverse the territory. Years
age Jonathan Carver, an Englishman.
came to this country and settled among
the NaWdawissie Indians, who, for val
liable services rendered, made him a
present Of the vast tract Of land. Aft
erwards this action Of the Indians was
ratified by the English under George
H., and then by the continental con-
gress. This land was afterward deed
ed by Carver to Bishop Samuel Peters,
of New York, but by some oversight
the deed was never signed by Carver,
and no record was made Of it,
Carver's heirs laid claim to the title.
but could never establish it, as the
deed Of gift made by the Indians was
lost and could not be found. For more
than a hundred years they searched for
it, until few days ago, when it was
discovered accidentally In the old rec
ords Of this county. The antiquity Of
the document was noted in a news
paper, and reached the eyes of the
claimants. Mr.. Holloway's wife is the
great granddaughter of Jonathan
Carver, and Mr.. Gum Is a great grand
son. Legal proceedings will be COM
menced at once to establish the title.
