The Care of Clothing.

Always shake, brush and fold your
clothes at night" is Walter Germain s
advice to men in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Never hang coats-fold them
Trousers should be folded by putting the
two waist buttons together and preserv-
ing the crease. Fold lengthwise and
then double. Coats are folded length
WISE the sleeves in half first, then each
half of the coat to the sleeve line, then
the two remaining halves, the lining be-
ing on the outside Waistcoats are fold
ed In half, lengthwise. Never lounge
about your room in your clothes-noth-
ing destroys them SO much. When you
come in during the afternoon or at
night, remove your coat, waistcoat and
trousers and put on bath robe if you
are to remain in your room for any time
Always have an old coat at the office. {"

Rough on Solomon.

The following incident happened at
one of the catecheesms' which are
held periodically in Scotland for all the
members of the kirk of certain dis
trict.
1.-The lesson was in Ecclesiastes, " says
Mr.. Johnston, 'and one day they had
been discussing the verse in which Solo
mon says Among thousand men |
have found one, but among thousand
women have | found not one, meaning
one just and good and upright And
an old Scotchwoman, when she had
listened in silence and heard the rest
accept it as present and gospel truth, got
her dander up and rose to her feet.
Hoot! she said Indignantly, her
eyes blazing. Do you find why that
was? 1t was because nae dacent woman
wad be seen in his company. Mil.

The village of Lawton was incorporated

few years, was allowed To die natural
death, and in February, 1859, the village

MATTAwAN
While the Michigan Central railroad
was in course of construction, Nathaniel
Cheseboro, the attorney for the railway
company, bought 40 acres of land, laid
out town and called it Mattawan. after
a village on the Hudson river, in New
York. In lS4S Charles w. Scott made
material additions to the plat and really
did all the work toward pushing the
the town to the front. He donated land
to the railroad company for depot pur-
poses, conditioned that Mattawan should
he regular stopping place, but as the
company ignored that condition, subse-
quently he sought TO recover pay for the
land, but without success. Elias Kinney
and ID. b. Webster made additions to
Mattawan and the march of enterprise
set in as though fruitful results we're
destined to follow.
The first building of any Importance
built on the village site was grocery
store put up in 1850 by John Cronkhite.
He sold the place to Rev. J. j. Bliss. a
Canadian, who came along that year.
Bliss also built warehouse near the
railway. He sold his business to Henry
Fitch. There was no hotel in the village
until 1850, when j. +. Parmeter built the
Antwerp house. George Conklin put in
new front and called it the Willard
House. The house was burned in 1873.
Harry Durkee built hotel and called it
the Union house. 1t was burned i'm 1866.
then Durkee put up another hotel. which
was burned few years ago About 1869
Mattawan enjoyed an era of considera-
BILE prosperity and carried on quite an
extensive business as a shipping point
for great quantities of pine and hard
wood lumber, which was sent in from
mills north of the place. The building
of the Kalamazoo and South Haven di-
vision of the Michigan Central railroad,
and the Chicago 4 West Michigan rail
road, however, soon diverted the lumber
shipments elsewhere and Mattawan suf-
fered reaction.

Revised reports Of the losses in the
engagement before Santiago on the first
three days OF July give the great total
Of 1,595 killed. wounded and missing.
AS there could not have been more than
10000 men in action, this percentage is
enormous and it tells its own tale of
the terrific fighting.
The killed numbered % officers and 2Os
enlisted men; the wounded 80 officers
and 1908 men, or 109 officers and 1,411
men disabled in action. The very large
proportion Of loss among the officers is
remarkable and is especially commend
ed to the thoughtful attention OF those
who are in the habit OF speaking con-
temptuously OF "army dudes" So many
officers Of the regular army have been
detached on staff and other service that
many of the commands have less than
their full complement present, which
makes the percentage OF killed and
wounded all the greater.
