during cold weather they should be

there is no convenient place and the
choice of the lesser evil is to dry them
outdoors.
1t is an art to mend table linen or any
damask linen goods properly. Do not
wait until rent appears, but darn the
linen, if possible, as soon as it becomes
frayed and thin. before the threads
have broken apart. Use thread about
the same size as the thread of the goods,
or, IL the linen has a coarse raised
thread, little finer. Where the linen
has been torn or has broken apart fast

cambric-a strong piece of an old hand
kercbief will do. Draw the parts of the
tear together. Trim off the uneven
threads and, with little of the ravel-
ings of the linen, replace them and
weave the stitches in to keep the edges
together for about an inch on each
side of the rent, sewing them through
the back of the linen cambria. If this
work is carefully done it will be quite
difficult TO trace the-tear, providing the
linen has been properly washed and
ironed after it was mended. N. Y.

A Puzzle to Scientists.

Careful measurements by govern
ment engineers have revealed the fact
that 10000 second-feet of water are lost
from the Missouri river in its course
from one point in Montana to another
scme hundred miles or so down the
stream. This extraordinary leakage,
enough to make a very considerable
river of itself, has been somewhat of a
puzzle to scientists; but the recent sue
cess of Dakota farmers away to the
east and south of these points on the
Missouri in sinking artesian wells
shows where it has gone. As geologists
had declared that there would not be
any water in these Dakota lands and
the flow proves TO be remarkably abun-
dant, It is believed that the farmers
have tapped the water which leaks from
the big hole in the Missouri river away

LIGHTHOUSES In WAR

The lighthouse keeper has his special
duties in times OF war, and IL Is In hts
power to render valuable service TO his
country's cause. The exiinguishing o;
the lights in the bay was the beginning
of policy which was outlined early in
March by the lighthouse board.
AT that time general instructions
were issued TO the Leepers OF ihe light
houses ordering them to familiarizc
themselves and their assistants with all
the requirements Incident 10 the eNi-
gencics of war. The eS,iuguishing OF
the shore lights will be last resort. as
the extensive commerce of foreign mer-
chant vessels would be seriously inter
fered with by it. The order 80 put out
these lights will only come in case OF
actual danger of invasion by foreign

In considering the various means by
which the lighthouse keeper can render
service in war time. IL is necessary t.
know something Of the lights them

beacon has some Characteristic with

Won. raIk Into a Phonoxr.ph

Mr.. Edison has persistently refused
10 register his voice upon phonograph
cylinder for repetition. To some friends
who urged him TO talk into one of these
machines he gave his reason: ''It wonld
make me sick with disgust to see
placarded on monographs everywhere
turn: Drop nickel in the slot and
hear Edison talk. No. NO: none of that
for me-" The tone of voice in which he
stated his objection made il clearly ap-
parent that he could neither be coaxed
nor dragged into granting the request.
even though he has had an offer of sio.-
0o0 for minutes talk. In perfect
ing the phonograph be has, of course,
been obliged to talk into the machine
frequently, but the cylinder is always
scraped so that his voice cannot be re-
produced. To one close friend, how
ever, he reluctantly gave cylinder re-
cording a few of his words, and 10 a
young man who particularly interested
him he gave another on which is re-
corded his favorite story. These are
the only two in existence. - Ladies'

A dress of soft, lightweight ben

portion is gathered full. and the
fiounce. which seems by present-day
standards enormously full, is set on
to the upper part with puffs and ruff
fies. The skirt opens at the front over
an accordion-plaited petticoat of soft
silk. The edges of the skirt are fin
ished with pufTs. and the flounce has
a garniture of half a dozen rows Of
fancy ribbon. The upper portion OF
the skirt is a shirred yoke. and the
waist, which is in blouse fashion. Is
shirred also: the sleeves are made OF
masses of narrow puf'irgs, and from
the shoulder across the front TO the

is of accordion-plaited taffeta. On
either side of the skirt, set well back
are two perpendicular rows OF lace

rows reach the waist over the hips,
almost exactly opposite to each other.
From these poi7ts a draper falls in

WHICH TOWN IS TIC BEST?

Primarily that Is a question for the phy- sician, if there is a physician in the case if not, try them all. If a mountain region, considerable altitude and comparatively low temperature is desired, Prescott is in picturesque region, near great mining districts, and has the social advantage of an army post, whipple Barracks. ) az staff IS still higher, is in a region of lse pine forests, and is within 9. hard ( ty's journey of one of the wonders of the " Id, the Colorado Canyon Oracle is a D. ,tty mountain nook, Lowered in splendid live oaks, like ,se of California. and is also near an Aportant mining district.
 If lower altitude and a distinctly semi tropical climate are desired, the three places most likely to be considered are Yuma, Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the drest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest Its adobe houses give it a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of a handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is ere, and 1t was

formerly the capital It's elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is a little drier
 Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and 1t is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatic Asylum, and other institutions, and Is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise fo1 hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- mia was in the:ifties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in faI countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of theil friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.
