FOR THE RENOVATION
 OF OLD GARMENTS

IL IS said that woman of wonderful re- sources has just discovered new and very sure way of renovating and restoring to their former appearance spotted, soiled or faded cloth or serge gowns
 PICK about twenty ivy leaves, young green ones by choice, wash them carefully and place them in jug or basin. Add about one pint of boiling water, cover up the basin or jug for two or three hours when it will be ready for use Meanwhile the garment must be thoroughly brushed inside and out and all untidy braid and in- ing removed from the bottom. When ready spread it on the table and carefully sponge with the ivy water. It must then be hung out to dry, when it will be found to have recovered it's former color and look quite like new
 Black silk may be cleaned in the same manner, but it needs more care. If the silk is in breadths 1t must be lightly sponged and then tightly rolled over a cloth wound round a roller and left to dry.
 Black lace may also be renovated when soied or brown with age by sponging with ivy water and then rolling over a cloth wound round a roller. It should not be ironed
 To remove mildew stains mix equal quan- titles of soft soap and powdered starch with half the quantities of salt; make into a paste with lemon juice. Lay this paste on each side of the mildew stains and let the article lie out on the grass night and day until the stains disappear. Soaking the clothes stained in buttermilk for a coDsid- erable time, then washing them in the usual manner and finally leaving them to bleach all night on the grass is an old fashioned country method which is effect ual. Another is to make a paste of table salt and lemon juice and lay this thiekly on the spots, which should have been pre- viously wetted and soaped, the linen so treated being left in the open air to bleach for several hours at least
 The best element in any of these treat ments is the nights bleach. In towns, where this is impracticable, the best thing is to make a solution of equal parts of chloride of lime and common soda in boil ing water-one-half pound each of the lime and soda to three quarts of water-dip the stains into this for a few seconds until they disappear, then rinse the article in boiling soapsuds and send to the wash as usual. Do not let the articles stay more than a few seconds in the solution or it will burn them Whenever possible do not omit the night bleach.

MISS JESSIE FOWLER,
 THE TREMENDOUSLY

Miss Jessie Fowler has entered an unusual field for the development Of women's en- ergIes, in that she is devoting herself to the come, according to the best authorities, one of the first craniologists of the day Her work is thus described in a recent ex- change:
 Miss Fowler is undoubtedly the first craniologist, craniseopist and phrenologist of her sex, in either the new world or the old. She has made 1t a special study from her girlhood, and owns library and col lection of skulls famous for excellence and thoroughness. In speaking upon her spe- cialty, she said that phrenology has taken a leap forward in popularity of late years The investigations by the great surgeons have been made very productive of results by new discoveries in surgery, and much light has been thrown upon problems, which a generation ago were apparently unsolvable. It Is known, for example, that the brain controls the entire physical sys- tenn and that the qualities of the mind and soul which find expression and action through particular nerves and muscles are represented by the parts of the brain which control some or all of the processes. In this way modern science is beginning to put phrenology upon a substantial and en- during basis. In the growth referred to- a noticeable feature Is the formation of phre- nological clubs among women and of classes for chronological study in literary and scientific clubs.
