Freshening Up Rusty Dress Materials

When black materials begin to look
gray or rusty, brighten them by spong-
ing on the right side with equal parts
of alcohol and water, and, while damp,
iron on the wrong side. Mud will
often leave stain, which may be re-
moved with naphtha after it has been
allowed to become thoroughly dry.
Black silk-warp goods will shine as
they wear, and expose the silk threads :;
this shine may be partly removed by
sponging with alcohol and water,
though it will likely return; if it does
the silk must be redyed. Colored
cashmere, serge, albatross, ETC., may
be cleaned by sousing in fluid com
posed of one dessertspoonful of beef's
gall to pail of warm water; use less
gall in the rinsing water, dry in a
shady place, and iron on the wrong
side, when nearly dry, with a moder-
ately warm iron.-Ladies' Home Jour

The Style of Straw Hats,

A lace Tuscan straw is quantity fash
ioned to frame charming young face,
with brim curved up in the centre, the
quaint high gown encircled with a
twist of Bordeaux velvet tied in knot
at one side, and lightly covering the
front is large shower bouquet of ex-
quisite white roses and foliage. A pic
ture hat with soft black crown, scrolled
with a tiny black straw cording, is
drawn into band of begemmed white
kid; the brim of yellow straw caught
up in front by a clump of shaded
ostrich feathers, has long black plumes
dropping on each side OF it, and just
above rises a group of black tips. This
hat could only be worn by pictur-
esque type. A smart little hat of
bright red straw, its crum'pled crown
. draped with coral MORE ribbon, clasped
with buckle of jet and paste, the up
standing ends veiled in fine black
lace, would be becoming to almost any
face, while a pink hat in fancy rice
straw, the brim mushroom shaped and
curving over punches of rose leaves at
the back, with garlands of shaded pink
roses, veiled with Chantilly above,
would make brunette beauty radiant.

intervals around the skirt. Some
skirts recently made show as many as

They are en route to Mexico to LOOK after some of their mining interests, and are accompanied by Guy Anderson. an assay CT of Salt Lake.

RATES APPROVED.
Railroad commissioners Accept the
 Valley Roads Vegetable Tariff.

The Railroad Commissioners held their monthly meeting yesterday. The most important thing done by the board was to adopt the special fresh fruit and fresh vegetables tariff No. 1 of the San Fran cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, which was submitted by that road. This new schedule of rates Is lower than that for grain given by the Southern Pacific. It is for all points between Bakersfield and San Francisco, and gives rate of 20 cents on the hundred. Similar rates are also given between Bakersfield and Stockton.
 The consideration of the right of the board to investigate the affairs of the Pullman Palace Car Company went over until the next meeting, the board deeming it best to await the advice of the Attor- ney General who has the matter under consideration.
