Some Uses For Wrapping Paper.

How many pieces of wrapping paper
come into our homes from week to
week around this bundle or that, and
are discarded for no other purpose
than lighting the morning fire. The
thoughtful housewife, however, will
find a use for nearly every piece, and
lays it folded away in a drawer to hide
its moment of usefulness. Besides
the ordinary use of it for wrapping
parcels, lining drawers, covering
closet shelves or books, it is always
on hand. when a pattern is to be cut
ont. Lay it over silk OF fine wooden
when pressing them, wrap WOODEN
clothing or furs that are to be stored
during summer in the large heavy
sheets of manila paper, and use the
smaller pieces to drain croquettes,
crullers or French fried potatoes upon
in order to absorb surplus grease. A
sheet Of butchers paper placed over
a grease spot AMI rubbed with a hot
iron will remove the spot from an
article of clothing.
For polishing window glass, art
glass or lamp chimneys, there is
nothing better than paper. Last, but
not least of the Uses to which it may
be put, is in stitching silk or any other
material that "draws' when sewed on
a machine. Lay a paper between the
presser-foot and the material, stitch
through both, and when finished tear
the paper away.-Brooklyn Citizen.

Washing Hafrbrushes and Combs.

Never wash combs, as the. watel
makes the teeth rough and often
causes them to split. Small brushes,
manufactured for this purpose, may
be purchased at trihing cost, with
which the comb should be well
brushed and afterward wiped with a
cloth. Brushes should be first thor
oughly freed from combings, then
dipped, bristles downward, into hot
water containing a piece Of soda the
size of a walnut. The backs and
handles should be kept as free from
the water as possible. Repeat this
process until the bristles look clean.
Then rinse the brushes in cold water,
and after drying the backs and handles
place them in the SUI to dry. Wiping
the bristles of a brush makes them
'oft, as does also the use Of soap.

The Founder of Wellesley College.
1t Is doubtless a very fine thing, and
a thing to be proud of and to be re-
membered, to belong to a college
which was founded by Ca-diha! VOL
sey, or Henry VI, or Queen Margaret,
or the Bishop of Winchester, Or some
other exalted parsonage, and which
has a wonderful quadrangle, or a IA
o gateway, or a chapel with a
splendid fan-vaulted roof. But the
students of Wellesley College have a
still finer thing to be proud Of and to
remember. They belong to a college
founded by an American gentleman,
who, crushed by the loss Of his only
and dearly loved son, turned from the
most brilliant legal and social career,
to give "his home, his fortune, and ten
years Of his life" to raising a monu-
ment to the God who had SO heavily
afflicted him.
The story Of Henry Fowle Durant
and the founding of Wellesley College
is so well known that 1t hardly seems
necessary to touch on it here, and yet
it is q story that bears infinite repeti-
ton, and certainly once a year-the
anniversary Of his death, the third OF
October-is not too often to impress
upon those who are profting by bis
loss the story Of his life and death
and work. And surely one Sunday in
every year-the first Sunday Of the fall
semester, known as "Flower Sunday"
is not too many to set apart for SER
vice from his fayorlte text, "God is
love" And when, in the inevitable
course Of time, there shall be no rea-
son why we cannot openly honor the
woman. who Is still with us and who
helped him to be what he was, and
who gives rs generously as he did,
Wellesley will couple her name with
his In her memorial services, and will
be proud to recall publicly that it is as
1t should be, and that a woman helped
to found q woman's college.-From
undergraduate Life at Wellesley" by
Able Carter Goodloe, in Scribner's.

wrapped in cloth around the outer

sometimes takes on. The only traces
of yellow in ermine must be the

Anecdotes or MaCready.
'Mr. Sala charged Macready with hay
Ing habitually used foul and blasphem-
ous language behind the scenes. An
apologist hints that Mr.. Sala may have
been led astray by the fact that in the
last act of Macbeth" Macready inva-
riably dashed himself into a sort of
fever, which he aggravated by using all
sorts Of expressions. When Mr.. Phelps
played Macduff to him for the first
time, he was not a little amazed during
the fight at the close Of the last act to
hear Macready call him q beast, a
scoundrel, q hell-born villain, a base
born cur and a devil. Full Of resent
ment, Phelps hurled back the epithets
with energy, and heaped foul names
upon Macready. At the close Macrea-
dy said.
THANK you, Mr.. Phelps, thank you;
I've never been SO well supported"
In another play, where it was neces-
sary to enter in a painting fury, full Of
rage, exhibiting the gasping exhaustion
of mad passion, M%acready used to have
q hired super whom he would Crap
pie and shake and curse at, off the
stage, so that he could enter naturally.
One night the regular super sent a
substitute who did not quite understand
the business. He resented Macready's
rough treatment, which delighted the
comedian, who went at his man with
Increased vigor. The substitute pres
emily 'let him have It," and the pair
fought savagely a good round. Ma
cready that night burst upon his audi
ence in a splendid rage, out-Macready-
ing Macready. When the substitute
learned the true state of affairs, how
ever. he bolted; but he was unearthed,
for Macready came off after the first
scene, gasping:

ExiIes In Siberia,

am not Asiatic or champion of AsiS,
yet can see that there are two sides to
this question, however much 1 may scr-
row over the harder side. The side we do
not all think of is that in this solitary sys-
tenn among those that are Asiatic or of
Asiatic stock there is very little capital
punishment; that treasonous offenses are
punished mercifully from the Russian
point of view; that, taking the whole not
very great annual exodus of prisoners to
Siberia, the majority have no right to
arouse the indignation and sympathy that
we expend upon the few intellectual pris-
oners whose lot seems to US SO painful;
that these very sufferers are of Russian
blood and training and, being intelligent,
are certain to have perfectly understood
and accepted the chances when opposing
the laws of their country, and finally that
in Russia and out of it there is plenty of
foreign, free and unpurchased testimony
to show that the condition of the prisoners
and the exiles is not nearly so bad as
those who play upon the exceptional SEN
sitiveness of American republicans have
caused US to imagine.
I remember that the first time spoke
of Siberia, when in Russia, was to my
waiter in a St. Petersburg hotel. I'm

GARCIA is COMING.
Prepared to Stand Trial for an Old
Offense.

Washington, Sept. 22.-It is expected
by members of the Cuban delegation
here. that General Calixto Garcia, sec
ond in command of the Cuban forces
during the war, will come to this coun-
try in the course of the next two weeks,
visiting New York, Baltimore and
His coming is looked for
ward to with much interest in view of
the prominent part he took in the mill
tary operations around Santiago, and
the unfortunate clash between him and
General Shafter, following the surren-
der of the city His presence in this
country is likely to raise a question re-
garding the old criminal proceedings
pending against him.
During the height of the Cuban fill
clustering Garcia was arrested and
brought before the federal court at
Baltimore on a charge Of directing one
of the leading expeditions. He was re-
leased on bonds and then left at the
head of the expedition he had organized.
FORGETTING his bonds. At the time he
made a public statement to the effect
that the cause of Cuba warranted his
escape from legal prosecution and that
when the war was over he would volun-
tarily return and give himself up to the
officers of the law. It is understood
that if the government intends to push
the prosecution of these filibustering
cases Garcia will visit Baltimore and
carry out his promise to become amen
able to the courts. There has been
some talk of a visit to this country by
General Gomez, but the Cuban officials
here hardly expect it.
