MAKING OVER GOWNS.
Unless the Material Is Very Good II
Does Net Pay.

Does Net 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. Amy person who can make
over last years gowns 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-
muneratiye work, must be counted
against the saving. II does not always
pay to make over half-worn goods. II
is economical always TO buy a durable
cloth for dress. so il can be made
oyer. Select goods that can be turned,
also one Of pure wool, that can be
cleaned and dyed, when purchasing
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 a 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 a plain black or gray cloth.
which soon looks ''seedY" if it is not
pure wool. Delicate pale grays usually
fade. Pink is a color that is seldom
color proof" Most light blue woolens
fade. II is better economy to select
cheap silk of a cream-white wool than
a wool dress in tint of color. White
wooden goods can be repeatedly washed
and made over.-N. Y. Tribune

period Of attendance is always deter
mined by the queen. They serve two at
a time, and. during attendance, which
is usually four weeks. they reside al
court. During this time they must
be in readiness TO obey her msjesty's
commands, sent by the equerry. Now
that so few state entertainments are
giyeC, their dSies are light. The queen
has really two liyes-one her court life
at Windsor, the other her private life
at Balmoral and Osborne.
The maids Of honor in turn attend her
at all the state ceremouials and bear
her company in her retirement. They
drive with the queen, read 10 her. sing
TO her, play to her. or converse. as she
determines, using their special accom-
plishments for her pleasure. 4 clear
and beautiful handwriting is a neces-
sity, for they have many letters 10 write
and copy; they must be good horse
women, and. Of all things. good mu-
eicians. The queen is fond Of music
and an excellent pianist herself and
50 is Princess Beatrice, who often makes
demands upon her mothers ladies for
companions in riding and in reading
duets. There are eight maids Of honor.
There is one extra maid OF honor.
Hon. Constance II. Kerr. These ladies
belong to department Of the household
of which the mistress Of the robes is
the head. Her principal Office is TO
look over and pass the queens per
sonal bills for dress. toilet. bric-a-brac,

lady at court. When in residence or
on a visit she presides at the royal
household table. This Office is now held

One WAY to Cure Green Reporters.

The Albany Journal tells story of
two green reporters, Englishmen. who
were sent by the city editor of a certain
newspaper to a suburban town to write
up the burning of an orphan asylum.
Late that night when the news editor
was wondering why no copy" about
the fire was coming by wire, telegraph
messenger rushed in and handed him a
dispatch. He opened it and read:
Dear sir-We are here. What shall
we do?"
1t was signed with the names of the
two men sent to write up" the fire.
The news editor made few remarks.
which. while they were appropriate to
the occasion. would not look well in
print; then he wrote on telegraph
blank this brief message:
Find out where the fire is hottest,
and jump in"

Why Labor Languishes.

One cause OF the comparative de
preston OF labor, while trade con
tinues to improve, may be demon
strated by few figures. In 1S94we
imported wooden goods, other than
dress goods, from all foreign coun
tries, to the value of $6, 755, 321. In
1896 our imports of the same articles
were of the value of s2I, 1886, 1928.
That Is to say, the imports of one
class OF goods were more than three
times as great In 1895, as in 1894.
In 1894 our wooden dress goods were
worth sS,5OS, 962, in 1896 they were
worth GA, 399,S44.
The immense imports Ut 1895 were
In anticipation of the new tariff, and
they must be disposed of, or very
largely diminished, before American
made goods can be in general de.
mand. The purchasing power of the
people has increased greatly since
the Dingley Bill came into operation.
The stores are selling more than
formerly, but too large a proportion
90 the sales are of foreign made
goods. As the vast imports Of 1896
are diminished, the demand for home
made goods will increase, and the
demand for labor will also increase.
In certain branches of INDUSTRY
labor is faring as well as the jobbers
sand retailers are. There are now faI
more men employed In iron, steel
snd glass works than a year ago, and
several advances of wages are report.
ID. The wage fund of the coal min.
srs has increased. The demand and
pay for labor In the lumber trade
promises toAbe good. But the i'm.
ports Of 1896 still block the way Ia
many trades. This however IL an

What is the Matter with Grover

EDITOR AvALANCHE-Our Prose-
cutting Attorney, a good and highly
respected citizen Of the county, met
me on the street few days since,
and said: "Tom, what In HI ails
Grover" As was "next" In the bar
Der shop, and wanted a shave, 1 had
no time to explain, but I can tell the
gentleman and all who are interest
ed that Grove Is q. X. and why.
When other towns Ia the county let
their lands go the State, I said to
our town board. no, gentlemen, let
us hold on to the land. II It goes to
the State we lose 1t all, and II there
Is any money in 1t, it all goes to the
State. There is where had my eyes
open. There has been a good deal of
that delinquent land bought this
summer and all the taxes paid, and
as our county does not owe the State
anything, we got our taxes, and
Grove Is all right. But bold on, that
is not all. What Of the future?
When l reached home from board
meeting last Saturday, l found that
two men had been there to see me
about these lands on which the tax
es were unpaid, and had gone on to
Supervisor Hoeslis' In Blaine. They
drove back to my place the next
morning, ami went with them and
looked over eight hundred acres of
land. Oh which the back taxes will
be paid Immediately. The same par
ties have enough more to look over
to make fifteen hundred acres, and as
some of these taxes have run good
while, 1t means q large sum, and
Grove will get the benefit of It, as
well as the county. Then what IL
the matter with Grover
We have few orders In the ha dds
Of the County Treasurer, that you
are bowling about, out II his business
is done with the town in accordance
with resolution that we passed at
our last town board meeting, the or
ders will all be paid by January, as
We decided that the County Treasu-
rer should retain all township money
received by him belonging to Grove,
and turn over to the township treas
urer the orders he holds until all are
taken up. That Is what 10 the mat
ter with Grovei Now II any man
wants to know how Grove came to
have these orders out, am the boy
that can tell them, and show all
straight on our booka Grove Is all
right
