Sewing Machines

FOR SALE
THE SUPERB" SEWING MACHINE
at $225 (no agents commissions), is the
latest production and fully guaranteed
by one of the Oldest, largest and most re-
liable factories on earth, the Davis Com
pany.
The mechanical construction Of the
superb" is on such perfect lines that
durability, ease of running and quiet are
its dominating features.
The sewing qualities of the Superb"
at $2250 are perfect. 1t will sew from one
thickness of muslin to six thicknesses of
heavy, full cloth, without breaking the
thread. The thread cannot be broken,
even though the machine is turned in
the wrong direction. This is an entirely
new feature in shuttle sewing machines,
and adds much to the comfort and pleas
ure of sewing.
The upper tension works automatically
and never fails to give a uniform tension
on all kinds of thread, cotton, silk or
linen, producing smooth, even seam,
and is provided with the only practical
thread release.
The feed Is positive in its movements;
the stitch can be made long or short
without affecting the tension.
The shuttle is cylindrical; is absolutely
self-threading; is hardened and ground;
has perfect tension, and carries large
amount of thread.
The needle is self-setting. The "Su-
perb" is self-threading at every point
except the eye Of the needle.
The take-up Is driven by rotary
cam, is positive in its action, and has
no springs to get out of order or break
The presser litter has high and low
lift. The construction permits removal
OF the face plate for cleaning the mechan-
ism, without disturbing any of the work
ing parts in the machine.
All wearing points of the "Superb" at
$22.50 are of the best steel, hardened and
ground to bearings.
For winding bobbins automatically the
"Superb" is fitted with loose pulley, held
by friction clutch, with no pins to rattle
or break.
The bed plate is flush with top of table,
the head is attached to the table by
nickel-plated hinges, and held in front
by spring lock-something entirely new.
The nickel plating or the bright parts
Is of the finest quality, and the japanning
of head and arm is superb, being hand
polished after vanishing.
The attachments are easily applied and
are silver finished steel, handily arranged
in strong metal case.
The cabinet work Of the "Superb" at
$3.50 is quarter-sawed oak, piano fin
ished. The cover is of bent wood. light
and ornamental, and the skeleton drawer
cases are of neat design.
Go direct to headquarters and put the
agents profits in your own pocket by
buying from the manufacturer.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Dr. George
Clinton Hubbard, assistant surgeon, U. 8.
N, committed suicide at st. Elizabeth 8
insane asylum shortly after midnight last
night by strangling himself with the cord
of his dressing gown. DIR. Hubbard was q
years old. Till week ago he was attached
to the San Francisco Early in the year he
showed slight signs of arrangement, and
was sent home from the Mediterranean
station and placed in st. Elizabeth's. He
realized his condition, and felt it keenly
but he was never violent, and his suicidal
turn was quite unlocked for. Rear Ad-
miral Benham and an uncle of the dead
man have made the funeral arrangements.

The Heraldl A contract was signed here
yesterday for the completion of the
Rocky Mountain Telephone company's s
line between Helena and Livingstone. The
latter point has connection with the Yel-

tract was also made for the construction
Of a line between Wallace, Idaho, and Mis-

What the Woman Should Know Who
Likes Dainty Millinery.

To the dainty woman wao wishes to
keep her hats up to the standard without
a great outlay OF money or constant re-
course to Madame Milliner, the practical
hints given her classes by q first-class
teacher OF millinery may prove worthy
OF consideration. The best velveteen,
says this woman who knows is better
than silk velvet, so far as durability and
keeping in order are concerned, for max
ing or trimming hats. Rain will not
soil a good quality Of velveteen, as a lit
tie steaming will make 1t as good as
new, while few drops Of water on silk
velvet makes little indentations, hard
to remove. For black hats, chip or
straw, beginning to grow rusty, liquid
shoe polish may be used to good adVan-
tage. Hats should be brushed every day
before laying aside to keep the dust
from grinding in. Artificial flowers
dropping and crushed may be bright
ened and freshened by shaking for ten
minutes through the steam CT the boil
ing tea kettle. Ostrich feathers respond
to the same treatment. A good quality
Of ribbon makes the most durable, and
consequently cheapest, of all hat trim
mings, standing the moisture Of the sea
or flying dust of business streets or
country driving better than flowers,
feathers or lace
Steel ornaments may be made as good
as new by scrubblng in hot sOapsuds,
using nail brush to reach the inter-
stices, then polishing with a chamois or
drying in sawdust. To TenOVate old

stood the noble ladies in gorgeous dress
and the Indian princes in their costly
Velvets and jewels. No more brilliant
scene could be imagined, the church with
its drapings Of flags and beautiful flow
ers, the women in their elegant costumes
and Jewels, the music sweet and clear,
but fairest of all the young Wilhelmina,
Queen of Holland.
Wilhelmina then spoke briefly. She
said:
Gentlemen of the States General: Since
the death OF my eVer-lamented father, ana
until have completed my eighteenth year,
the government has been in the hands Of
my mother / have now assumed the gov
ernmcnt and have issued proclamation
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-21
Odds and Ends for Women.

Out of 700 students in the summer
school at Harvard three-fourths are wo-
men.
Queen Victoria is said to be an expert
in the buying Of jewels. She can also
tell the history Of every valuable stone
in the possession Of royalty In Europe
The women Of Japan never wear black
for mourning The mourning gown Is
made OF the richest material and is of
the purest white. For this reason white
is never worn except for mourning.
The Royal Victoria College in Mon
treal will be opened for regular study in
a year. The Canadian young women are
deeply interested, and with reason, for
this institution will be the finest on
the continent.
A woman In Georgia has discovered
very unique way Of earning her living
1t is that of caring for graves. Her work
is to see that they are kept beautiful
with blooming flowers during summer
and neat and trim during the dreary
months of winter. She Is OF real value
to many who cannot see to the graves Of
their dear ones. To know that some
one is watching over them gives true
comfort. 80
Among the Spanish proverbs we find
some regarding woman, which show us
how she Is to be feared in that country.
They read as follows: "He who has a
handsome wife or castle on the from
tier is never without fear" Woman
and weather are never to be trusted"
So vvnuOaO NAV ha 1OVal IN 1--we hut
never to lovers" Woman is guitar,
the sweetness Of whose tones depends
upon the player"
