MAKING OVER GOWNS.
Unless the Material Is Very Good II
Does Not Pay.

very UOOu
Does Not Pay.
The average Frenchwoman has long
been held up to Americans as model
of household economy. These women
seem gifted with the power of utiliz-
ing small things which other women
throw away. Any person who can make
over last years COWS and wraps as
long as any wear is left in them can
save great deal, but the value of ones
time, if one must take time from re-
munerative work, must be counted
against the saving. 1t does not always
pay to make over half-worn goods. 1t
is economical always to buy durable
cloth for a dress, so it can be made
over. Select a goods that can be turned,
also one of pure wool, that can be
cleaned and dyed, when purchasing Il
dress. 1t is poor economy to buy wool
dresses of very delicate color. Mixtures
of silk and wool do not dye or clean
well, because the two materials shrink
unevenly. If one must select gown
of mixed cotton and wool on account
of the small sum of money laid aside
for the purchase, do not buy plain
color, but a mixture of color. A salt
and-pepper" mixture, or one in gray
and white, will wear three or four times
as long as plain black or gray cloth,
which soon looks ''seedy" If it is not
pure wool. Delicate pale grays usually
fade. Pink is color that is seldom
"color proof" Most light blue woolens
fade. 1t is better economy to select a
cheap silk of cream-white wool than
wool dress in a tint of color. White
wooden goods can be repeatedly washed
and made over.-N, Y. Tribune.

TIE OLD scHooLAousE.

AT the corner where the roads meet
While winding through the town,
There stands little schoolhouse
Moss covered, old and brown.
Around the well-worn door stone
The grass is growing green,
And buttercups and daisies
Against the building lean,
The pasture comes to meet IL,
And DER the rugged wall
Still grows the wild blue iris
And elder bushes tall.
In spring the orioles nested
In elm trees growing by
And caroled to the children
From hammock nest swung high.
At recess time the children,
With many laugh and shout,
Made glad the quiet woodland
That skirted all about.
Again the place was silent
When teacher" from the door,
Called the children to her
When resting time was Ger.
In quaint, old-fashioned order
They stood with toes on line,
And slowly droned the tables"
Three times three are nine"
Then came the mental puzzles,
The dreaded daily drill
In Colburn's little 'rlthmetic"-
Those problems haunt us still!
The years have passed: those children
Are men and women gray,
And the little corner schoolhouse
To modern times gives way,
But standing by the roadside
As in days long ago,
1t seems like a fond mother
From whom the children go.
But still with patience waiting,
Tho years have passed away,
For return of sons and daughters
She stands and looks to-day.
Her children are far-scattered,
She waits for them in vain,
But they live their youth in memory,
Tho they come not back again.

Victims of EIcctricity.

Cleveland, O., July 1.-One man was
electrocuted Wednesday, another was
horribly shocked and several were
severely burned at Nine Mile creek, in
the eastern suburbs. The men were
building stone abutment with the
aid of derrick over the creek. A guy
rope went over the feed wire os the
Big Consolidated trolley system. Sew
eral men took hold of the guy rope te
tighten it. Jacob Miller, 65 years old
touched the wire with his hands and
fell dead. Ed McGregor was hurled
20 feet. Three other workmen received
dangerous shocks.

ing-room, except for the roaring of the
fire.
Tony.
"De good lan'l Dat chile neber done
come out oh de oben! An / shet de do.
An dem noises dat 1 reckon was rats
was Patra a-kickin' an screamin'. An
hear dat fire roarin'l Neber was sich a
fire as / built under dat oben dis nightl
Patra done burnt up!"
Tony's black face actually turned
pale, and all his strength left him. But
at length he forced himself to open
the oven door.
There was smell ofrburning leather.
Tony drew forth one little shoe. Was
it all that was left of Patra? No; there
was a knot of red ribbon, with bit of
wool caught in it, the wool scorched
and crumbling to ashes in his fingers
as he drew it out.
These relics brought rush of tears
from Tony's eyes; but tears could not
| tighten his weight of woe.
"'Pears like Use dreamin' mos orfle
dream" he murmured.
Ting-a-ling! went the shop door, and
Tony started up.
"You's gwine to be hung, Tony Crum-
pies, as SUI as yo' bornl" he said to him
self
He hid the little shoe and the ribbon,
and hurried as fast as his trembling
limbs would let him into the shop.
There was customer with a bean
pot, and behind him came good "Posson
Amos" colored preacher, who lived
next door.
"I jist drap in to see how yo' is gittin'
long, boy" said Poisson Amos, kindly.
"Yo' must take good care OBJ yo' charge,
an put yo' trus' in de Lord!"
That sounded very solemn. Poison
mosprobably observed his guilty looks
and his trembling, thought Tony. And
he kept shifting as if he smelled some
thing burning.
But he wouldn't 'spect de Lord to
have muffin to do wifi me if he knew
bout Patra," reasoned Tony to him
self.
Then he bethought himself that he
must put the beans into the oven, and
wait upon the customers as if nothing
had happened. 1t was terrible to go
near that oven, but ''it won't bring
Patra back, nor be no consolation to
pappy and nanny if Use hung"
thought Tony.
At ten o'clock he shut up the shop, as
he had been directed to do, and went
to bed; but there was no sleep for him.
What should he say when his mother
asked him, as soon as she came home
in the morning: "Whar Patra?"
81 clar' to goodness I'll hab to run
away!" decided Tony, after he had
tossed upon his sleepless bed until after
midnight.
He opened the slylight-his room was
in the top story and looked out. The
roof was fiat, and he could easily climb
/ down to the little ell, and so to the
ground. AS he was taking survey, the
skylight of the next house in the block
Poison Amos'-was lifted, anda small,
white-robed figure appeared from it,
and came toward him. 1t had little,
black face, shaded by white nightcap,
Tony screamed with terror, and tried
to close the skylight over his head, but
it had become fastened in some way and
wouldn't shut.
TONY! Tony!" called a plaintive
voice.
And the white-robed figure proceeded
to wriggle itself in through the sky
light.
''Patra, is it yo' ghos'?" demanded
Tony, with chattering teeth.
Don know muffin bout ghoses!" re-
sponded the small figure, with decision.

The newest vinaigrette is made of
agaie. The stones polish beautifully,
and those of red and green are particu-
