CARE OF AN UMBRELLA.
Several frequently Overlooked Points
Which Give n Rain shade Life.

Which Give a Rain shade Life.
Some one who has given the subject
of umbrellas much careful thought de-
clares that in buying umbrella one
must take it on faith. for the most ex-
perienced shop keeper cannot tell how
1t will wear Silk of IA smooth taffeta
weave is good purchase and light to
carry. Gloria makes heavier UNI
brella, but 1t outwears any silk made.
No matter what the material may be,
however, never keep it strapped, ex-
cept when it is carried. Keeping it
tightly rolled up destroys half its dur
able qualities. When wet dry an UNI
brella by standing it with the handle
down. so as to prevent rusting the
framework, as happens when the water
runs off the other end and collects at
| the top.
When nearly dry do not open the UNI
brella If it can be avoided. or it will
stretch out of shape while drying.
Wipe off the handle when ready to put
away. using a piece of chamois if there
| is any silver about it. Sometimes a
| blue or green umbrella spots when
! lightly wet. In such a case open it and
set out in the first hard rain, the spots
disappearing when it is thoroughly
| dampened.
If either black silk or gloria become
spotted with mud clean with a bit Of
old silk dipped into warm water and
ammonia. If colored silk needs clean
/ ing, do it with rag of the same color
and naphtha, remembering that the lat
| ter is very explosive. If grease gets OF
the silk remove with magnesia, rubbing
ii in and allowing it to remain for "A
hours. Naphtha also removes grease.
but this liquid cannot ne purchased
everywhere, and magnesia can.
To furl an umbrella properly grasp
ii firmly at the lower end of the ribs
with the right hand, holding them per-
fectly straight and even, and do not
allow them to twist while you shake
out the folds. Next wrap them evenly
around the stick with the left hand and
finally fasten the strap over a smooth,
firmly rolled umbrella.

LAMP EXPLODED.
Almost a serihus Fire in "A House in tn

Almost Serihus Fire in "A House i'm the
Alley Back Of schroeders.
The little glass case on fire alarm
box "A was broken last evening and an
alarm sent from it to the fire house.
The glass boxes We're recently added to
the system of alarms and the innova-
tion has proved to be u time-saver At
S:45 the alarm WAS rung and in very
short time thereafter hose was laid to
a small house in the rear of Schroeders
bakery, but no water was thrown.
Mrs. Paddy Welch and little daughter
were alone in the house when lamp
exploded and set fire to the interior.
The screams Of the woman attracted
a large crowd dfs neighbors, who mis-
took the cries of fire for cries of muir
der, and that made the excitement
more intense. The blaze was extin-
guished by means Of buckets and gar
den hose and the damage is slight.

have done more than any other one
man to prevent colonial revolt. He
was eminently conservative and peace
