A STITCH IN TINE.

The weekly mending is so much CT
bore that the happy thought of ap-
plying the old adage "a stitch in time"
to this dreaued task, has set me to
wondering why l have allowed myself
to be troubled so long. Upon my
dressing table l keep in little tray a
needle, thread and some darning cot
ton. Every night when l remove my
stockings I look them over-a glance
sufices-and I FIND the little holes that
begin to come vastly easier to mead
than the yawning caverns that would
otherwise be awaiting me on Tuesday
And so it is with the other things.
Sewing on a button Or catching to-
gether tiny rip here and there takes
scarcely a minute, but the sum total
of these rips and buttons would make
large inroad upon one precious week
day morning otherwise. Perhaps this
scheme will not commend itself to
mothers. Certainly a half-dozen pairs
of stockings, big and little, could not
be mended every morning before
breakfast, but it is admirable in the
still economy of bachelor girls 90
main, and ought to be followed by
many Of the girls who believe in The
OLD Remington saying, Ito save time
is to lengthen life"

The Enterprise Manufacturing com
pany, Of this city, received last Satur-
day its first order for 10000 yards of
cotton goods to be shipped to Cuba.
Hostilities between Spain and the
United States had not been suspended
more than week when the alert pres
ident of this company had his samples
on their way to Cuba and Porto
Rico, and as reward for his prompt
ness gets his first order, with a pro-
mise of many more, as the style of
samples this company sent are well
adapted to Cuban wants. We con-
graduate President Verdery upon his
enterprise in getting into this new
field so promptly with his goods.
There will no doubt be growing field
for our cotton goods in the islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico, and it is a val
liable achievement to get an early
foothOld there. We are glad that an
mill has been a pioneer in
this new trade.-Augusta Chronicle.

appreciation over the autobiography of
Bismarck 1t contained too many ref
erences to Sedan, to GraFelotte, and to
the siege OF Paris for her tender SEN
sibilities- Russian sensihiLties have
proved still more tender, and the inn
perial press censor has refused Rus
sian booksellers permission to place
the work on sale. There are many
suujects which Bismarck treats with "a
TO the delicately organized car of the
Russian; for instance, Bismarck
speaks of the murder of car Paul; the
Russians speak of it always as a sud
den demise" On the Oath of last
month the work appeared in an Italian
translation.
1t is unfortunate that the iron chan
cellor did not live to enjoy the success
of his book 1t is a sure sign that
throughout his misforblnes, through
ont the bitter years Of his old age,
his people still believed in him 1t is
to Rismarck,s credit that his autobi-
ography is neither pethsh nor pessi-
miStic~ and 1T is safe 10 say that the
best monument To his memory will be

many German homes, and as many
more copies scattered throughout the

mausoleums are raised above his ashes,

illustration shows the sareophaEus Of
Prince Bismarck, which lately arrived

placed in the newly built maus0ieum.

the waists are to be more elaborate
Than ever will be readily seen.
Rows of shirring will be the novelty
of the season.
Especially correct and pretty for
both younger and older persons is the
one having three plaits on each side of
the front, each plait having a finish
OF fagotting or hemstitching
The combination of shirring and
narrow box-plaiting is another style.
Custom-made shirt waists are
fastened down the front by five but
tonholes, and round buttons are used
in preference to studs, though they are
usually removable, being fastened by
rings on the wrong side.
Sleeves are scarcely as full as those
OF last seasons, but yet not as tight
az dress sleeve. Cuffs are not de-
tachable, and there is the choice of
round or square corners. The backs
of the shirt waists are very simple,
showing the traditional yoke and con-
verging plaits to the belt.
