ADVICE ABOUT PACKING.

More Gowns Are Made Impossible by
Careless Packing Than by Wear.
Now a>word of advice can be given to
the woman traveller who is not so for
tunate as to possess a well-trained maid.
Pack your own trunks and pack with
care.
More rumpled and impossible gowns
are due to careless packing and loose
adjusting than any other one thing.
No amount of tight packing or of pres
sure applied downward will do more
than accentuate the natural folds. A
single toss of the trunk that is loosely
packed means a hopeless jumble of
hats, wraps, bodices, laces and what
not.
Begin at the foundation with the
heaviest garments. Do not fold too
much; shake skirts from the waistband
and spread them for the entire length
without folding that the size of the
trunk will allow. If not, spread out
with great care in the folds which are
naturally taken when held in an up
right position, and turn over smoothly
at the top.
Shake wraps from the shoulders, lay
them out in the folds they naturally
tchCs VIII SIStII SdlC o1l1OOIh CAO
sleeves and turn the fronts over on the
back, smoothing and adjusting all
trimmings and frills so as to avoid hori-
zonta1 crcases.
It is impossible to so fold garment
as to avoid all lines, but those taken
lengthwise of the cloth readily disap-
pear and are also little noticed, as
they take tn: direction of the folds
formed by the garment itself.
Jackets, however, must be so man
aged as to show not crease. Loose
bodices require tissue paper for the
support of puffs and the like, but they
can be saved from much rumpIing il
spread out in the trunk and folded as
little as possible. Then pack close and
tight.
Hats should be packed firmly, so as
not to move, and for this purpose any
light article, such as handkerchiefs
mouchoir cases, or soft and pliable OBJ
| jccts that will not crush or injure the
fashionable headgear may be used

A Problem Which Alger Has
Not Yet Solved.
A COMPANY OFFERS TO SELL FOOD
Spokane sends Man to Advocate the
Alleged Advantages of the
Overland Route.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Captain Brain
erd, of the subsistence department of
the army, arrived in Washington this
morning and although Secretary Alger
is confined to his home by severe cold,
he sent Immediately for the officer and
had conference with him respecting
the execution OF his plans tor the relief
of miners in the Yukon country. Gen
eral Merriam, commanding the depart
ment of the Columbia, selected Major
T. H. Rucker, Fourth cavalry, to pro-
ceed to Alaska and make a reconnoi-
sance of the pass leading from the head
of Lynn canal.
Senator Lodge has brought to the at
tentfon of the war department officials
the claims of the Boston transportation
Company. Their representative, Pierre
Humbert, asserted the company is in
position to feed large number of miners
inasmuch as it has just received news of
the delivery by it's agents at Fort Sell
kirk, on the Yukon river, of 200,0
pounds of food. This point is above
Dawson.
The announcement that the war de-
partment is by no means committed to
any one route in its efforts to reach the
miners in the Klondike country, has
caused persons interested in the various
routes to advance the claims of their
respective sections.
The Spokane Chamber of Commerce
has sent Frederick r. Marvin. an ener-
getic newspaper man of tLat place, as
representative to urge the superior fa-
cilities of the overland route northward
from Spokane. This is the old tele-
graph route laid down by the agents of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
years ago, when they sought to run a
telegraph line to the, ,Behring straits.
Marvin has stated to the war depart
ment that the route is still clear, that
through the dense northern forests there
is trail $50 feet broad affording easy
passage for draft animals and the FEAST
bilitv of the route in winter is shown by
the fact that for many years it has been
traversed by numerous trappers and
prospectors, while the absence OF heavy
grades insures the ability of animals to
carry large loads.
Secretary Alger is asked to designate
some of the army officers now at Spo-
kane to report upon the advantages of
the route.

Where Billy Brag and the rest all live,

And little Ralphie, three years old,
Whose whooplng cough has made him stay

Boston transcript.
The death in England by delirium ire
mems of a noted teetotaller, through the
excessive use of so-called nonalcoholic
drinks, contains q lesson which may well
be taken home by thousands of our men
and women who. on principle, are deter
mined foes of king alcohol, but who. in
ents. 1t is we'll known to chemists and
physicians that nearly all of the alleged
nonalcoholic tonics and specifics which are
now so common are nothing more nor less
than rum, whisky or ale, or some other
form of alcoholic liquor. with, perhaps,
something in it to give a different color or
a foreign flavor; but it is the alcohol which
gives to the stuff its exhilarting qualities.
and it is the alcohol which makes it sell.

The New Country school.

Etdrper Bazaar.
A symptom of the modern tendency in
rural life to approach urban compactness,
which the trolley car has been one of the
potent influences to help along, has taken
on recently a new form in the attempt
made to revise the old-time district school.
In most country towns of New England,
and in the Middle and Western States, the
system dividing a township into from five
to twenty school districts still prevails. A
generation ago no one could have conceived
of the practicability of any change in this
plan. From the very beginning OF our Ma
tons history it has been the district school
that has furnished the Hottest and most in
spring theme for the orator and the poet.
il Whittier's poem of THE Little Red
Schoolhouse" all of us who have grown up
from country-bred childhood find our earli-
est and most tender memories refreshed.
There are times when We should like to
go back to it, though in some cases it was
either yellow or brown. 1t certainly was a
boon in it's day; but 1t would seem there
are reasons now for replacing 4 by a bet
tier species. In some of the Western re-
serve Ohio towns schools of this sort have
already been abolished, and in their stead
may be found in a central part of the
township a large two-storied structure,
usually made of brick. The school having
this liberal space can. from its systematized
and various grades, make education more
| complete and carry 1t further than the best
district school has ever been able to do.
To this central point all the school chill
dren are brought in stages furnished for
free transportation by the town. The We
hicles hold about twenty-five pupils, are
comfortably fitted up and are arranged so
as to be either open or covered. The routes.
which are made to pass, every house. are
open to competitive bidders. The drivers
of the stages go in the morning to the ex-
tremest limits of the township, and blow
a horn when within earshot of a house to
! notify the children who are to take pas
| sage. When the school hours are over the
stage ~rCappears and the scholars are taken
home. The system has been sgoing but
about t1o years. but it is said to work
perfectly.
1t needs no argument to show that this
massing of scattered forces brings many
advantages. There is an opportunity Tor
more and better classes, for more and bet
ter ventilated space, and for a quietness
that cannot be had where a babel OF reel
tations and study go on together: Inc
! school management is not only MADE pet
Ter. but ii is accomplished with economy,
] as fewer teachers are needed.
