the scamstress, because the piece Of goods
nearer the person who is sewing is always
gathered n little unconsCiously.
In stitching on the machine it is usually
best to have the thread as loose as is COM
patibe with 1lr!nness, A tight thread
gathers the work and makes it full.
1t Is false economy to use cotton thread
for stitching any goods save those made of
cotton or linen. Sewing silk should always
be used for wooden and silk material, as it
looks better, scws better and is far stron-
ger.
1t Is imperative that all seams be pressed
open with Il warm iron. The best cut and
Bewed gown that was ever made would not
look well unless it had experienced severe
ironing in the right p,aces-that is, on all
seams and sharp folds of the goods, where
smOothness and flatncss are II dcsidcratum.
A suggestion for a mourning costume is
given in tho sketch. Tho gown is of dull

FLAG FOR BraMupA.
She Will Hereafter Sail Under Nrexico's
Colors Hat Her Ownership rs the s,ame.


Cubans in this city who have had much
TO do with sending arms ammunition and
men to the insurgent army and who have
had In view for some time another big
1libustering expedition, were elated last
night over the announcement that u Mex
lean registry had been granted in New
York to the detained steamship Bermuda
and that she would soon be ready to sail.
Despite the protests Of the Spanish
Consul General the registry was secured
from tho diplomatic representatives of the
Mexican Government in the United
States and the vessel now aies the flag of
the Mexican Republic, while her actual
ownership Is unchanged. She will never
again be known as the Bermuda, however,
her name having been changed to the
Benito Juarez, after a Mexican general
noted for yalor on the field of battle year
ago. She will hail from Vera Cruz. Be-
fore the steamer leaves New York Collec-
tor Kilbreth has ordered that bond be
given that she intends to proceed to Mex
leo, where she will secure her permanent
papers.
What will happen after that has been
giving the Spanish officials no little con-
Germ. Nearly hundred men enlisted for
the insurgent army from all parts Of tho
United States have been in Phila, for two
weeks, awaiting an opportunity to leave
for Cuba. They intended starting on the
Laurada but the arrest of Captain Muir
ply prevented their embarking, and since
then they have been living with friends in
different parts of the city. Two large
loads of AIMS, ammunition and dynamite
which were intended for the LauradA and
which were brought to Philadelphia by
the Delaware and Raritan Canal, have
been sent back to New York.
