Begin with Long Thread and Run
IL Well on Each Side.
The secrecy of this homely art lies in
running the thread OF the darning cot
ton 50 far on each side of the hole that
its does not Immediately fray and pull
out the goods.
Take o long thread OF darning cotton
to begin with and run it at least half an
ipch along the goods on each side Of the
hole. Continue this until the hole is
snugly covered. Now cross these
threads in regular darning style, TAX
ing care that the same precaution is OBJ
served. A stocking darned in this way
will wear. as far as the darning is con-
cerned. as long as,if no hole had ex'
listed,
To darn very large holes, such as arc
likely to occur from having been pulled
or frayed out in the laundry, something
more than a thread of darning cotton
may be necessary, and patch must be
used. Such holes almost surely occur
in the heel, as this part of a stocking is
usually worn thin first and is more like
,ly to fray,
In treating of the method of mendina
them It is safe 10 take the heel for q
model.
From the leg OF an old stocking, such

of the leg and the lower rounded par
is at the base of the heel.

A Pointed Question.

The great question whether tho use of forks is understood in Chicago hay ing been happily settled in Paris, it may be asked in seriousness whether forks are not too much used in Chicago and everywhere else. Not that any body wants to use the knife for conveying food to the mouth, but might not the teaspoon as a part of the dinner equip ment Do little moro prominent?
 People of breeding train their chil- dren to eat peas, for instance. with a fork, tabooing the spoon for no apparent reason other than that it's use would simplify and facilitate the operation. On the same principle they ought to eat their peas with chopsticks. as China man could easily do. So with certain kinds of pie and pastry. The relish is marred by the loss of juices too thin fC the fork to carry. Yet the man who values his social reputation must not ask for spoon.
 The proper use of the silver fork might be better understood if it were regarded as modified shovel with linn itations imposed by it's slits. For solids it is an excellent shovel. For liquids it is naturally failure. The countryman who on his first visit to city hotel asked the water for a spoon with no slits in it was no legitimate subject of ridioule. He was all impartial critic, being without the prejudice of habit or tradition. Hotel Mail.

The Supreme Court.

''The judges of the United States courts have, with rare exceptions, been men of excellent legal ability and of high character, '' writes ex-President Harrison ill The Ladies' Home Journal ''The bar has sometimes complained that judges were arbitrary and not al ways as suaye and respectful ill their treatment of the members of the bar as they ought to be. Perhaps there has been in particular cases ground for such complaints, but the cases have been few. Manifestations of rudeness and passion are inexcusable ill judge. He must be deferential if he expects defer ence. He should be patient and even tempered, for the case is sure to go his way in his own court. And, on tho oth- CT hand, the bar should always give it's powerful aid to support the influence of the. courts, for the judicial department is the keystone of our government and assarlts upon it threaten the whole structure of the stately arch ''

ASHFORD.

AShFO
 The senate has taken final action in the case of Lucas Douglas, an Ashford man, who died two years ago, leaving will in which he provided that all his money be employed in erecting a monument over his grave. His two sisters were in com fortable circumstances in 1879 at the time this will was made. Since then one has died, leaving children to be supported by the town, and the other is a widow who would be greatly benefited by a share of her brothers $10,000 estate. To compli- cate matters the monument which Doug las had desired was found to be too large for the little cemetery enclosure. Davis A. Baker. town clerk of Ashford, there fore referred the question to the legisla- ture for settlement, and the judiciary committee now recommends the purchase of a suitable lot, the removal of Douglas remains, and the erection of monument as by his will provided. -Nora0tcA Bulletin

 Cold dry air is necessary to the perfect pres ervation of peTtshable articles, and to insure thts and carry off the vapors, odors, etc., that emanate from them, circulation is required. In the "Iceland" the cold air naturally falls in the direction of the bottom of the provision chamber and getting beneath the warm, light air, forces It upwards through the side f1ues. In it's course the warm air carries with 1t the mois- ture and impurities from food, and coming in direct contact with the colder object ice, these objectionable matters are condensed thereon, and pass out Of the refrigerator with the ice meltings. The air, having thus been purified and cooled, becomes heavier, and again passes under the cold galvanized iron Ice rack, and de- scends to continue the good work.
