Perhaps few people understand that
feather pillows should be occasionally
freshened. In summer the pillows
and holsters from the various beds in
the house should every few weeks be
laid In the hot sunshine. They must
remain there for five or six hours, and
be turned once during that time. This
process of summing dries and, as itwere,
"fuffs" every feather, making each
stand by itself. Anyone who has not
tried this will be surprised, ON using a
pillow thus aired, to note its in
creased softness and elasticity. The
Germans recognize the benefit of this
practice when they "sun" the huge
feather beds upon which they afe ac-
customed to sleep.-Harper's Bazaar.

Any mnn who gives woman pen-
knife will find himself regarded with
suspicion. Itisn't that she is supersti-
tious. Oh, no, of course she isn't. She

The jewellers carry in stock knives
for women, and one Of the merchants
said the other day that one-third of his
customers were women. This he ex-
planned by the fact that woman will
keep knife three times as long as
man will. Some of the knives they
carry in stock have jeweled handles
or decorations that raise their cost
from five to fifty dollars. Women
don't buy such expensive ones-that
is, not from jewelers-although they
often buy them from friends at the
price of one cent-an astonishing bar
gain, indeed.
The popular knives for women are
tiny bits of knives, not SO long as the
little finger, and sometimes not larger
than a finger joint. Some of these
dainty little knives have handles of
gold or silver studded with jewels.
Very often they have chatelaine at
tachments or are WORN with other lit

The major had done his work well
During the fight around Caney, his du-
ties led him several times into the

in-not without flinching, for the ma.

UNCOMFORTABLE THEATERS.
sonal Convenience In Paris
Play Houses.

Playgoers who yield to the induce
ments Of the French stage when they
come over here will have learned long
ago from experience what genuine dis
comfort Is suffered in theaters. Pa
risian managers cater admirably for
the public as far as the play and the
acting are concerned. When they
come to consider, however, the ques-
tion OF mere material comfort, II
would seem as If they felt In nowise
called upon to make allowances for
the weaknesses of the flesh. The trials
TO which playgoer Is put in an under
sized stall, with no available room for
his neither limbs, partake almost of
the rigor Of the monastic ordeals OF
old. To such chastisement of the
flesh the Partisan playgoer has long
submitted urcomplainingly for the
sake Of the edification provided for his
spirit from the stage. There are now
signs, however, that the worm will at
last turn. Parisians have crossed the
channel, lolled in the ample armchairs
provided in your playhouses, and re-
turned to grumble at the hardships
they have to endure in their own.
Quite revolutionary measures of re-
form are everywhere being proposed.
Why not do away with the three Off
cials enthroned behind desk at the
door, who constitute the so-called
"controle," and whose duties consist
in needlessly examining and punching
tickets at the expense of public pa
tience? 1t might even be feasible to
suppress the ''ouvreuse," who dam
ages hats and loses umbrellas in re-
turn for tip which she exacts and
grumbles at.
Besides degree Of material COM
fort, playgoers expect within the
bounds of possibility not to endanger
their lives when they so to the theater.
According TO the committee of public |
safety in theaters, now sitting, it |
would, however, be unwise to place |
overmuch confidence in this respect in |
the arrangements at present made in |
some Partisan playhouses. Tha chair
man of the committee, NJ. Blanc, pre-
feet of police, has accordingly drawn
up new sets of rules with regard to
public accommodation in theaters,
which are to be stringently enforced. /
Playgoers in Paris will be glad to hear
that in future boxes in theaters are to
be provided with doors of sufficient
width to allow of easy ingress and exit,
and so arranged as not to block pas
sages when open. Furthermore, moth
ng in the shape of stools or movable
ieats win be allowed in the passages,
while that inconvenient invention, the
'strapontin," which, besides being the
most uncomfortable seat ever pro-
'ided for long-suffering public, en-
hangers the lives of the audience
'hould panic occur, by effectually
blocking the openings between rows of
tails, Is to be done away with. In
ime N. Blanc will no doubt succeed
n making Partisan playhouses both
afe and comfortable. 1t is remark
Ible fact, however, considering how
Parisians patronize the
heater, that two such important i'm
for playgoing public
hould not have been accomplished be-
ore now.-London Telegraph.
