The Art Of Making a Dress.

Pressing is of great Importance in
dressmaking, and always undervalued BY
the beginner. After the seams are stitch
ed, and the hastings removed, they shoulc
be opened and lightly dampened with a
sponge. A moderately hot iron should
then be pressed, not, rubbed or stroked,
over the damp seam, from top to bottom
1t is best, to use heavy, moderately
heated iron instead OF a smaller one, more
heated. The iron should always be heat
ed before using. and should never be used
hotter at one place than at another, as
this causes the cloth to draw in spots
The imprint OF the iron showing through
the cloth is an objectionable blunder
which can never be satisfactorily REM
edied
The home dressmaker often spends all
her energies upon fitting the waist A
skirt requires to be just as carefully fitted
if anything, an ill-ftting skirt is more I'M
becoming than badly fitted waist

If you make the selection he advises,

little cause for worry

The statue of Frances Willard, which
has been provided for by the Legislature
OF Illinois. and which is to be erected in
the rotunda OF the capitol at Washing
ton, will be the first statue OF woman
to adorn that beautiful hall The law
on the subject provides that each OF the
states may place in the hall statues of two
distinguished persons. and the custodian
agrees that under the phraseology the
marble or bronze portrait of this woman
may be placed among those OF the emf
nent sons of other states 1t is safe to
say that there will be no popular dissent
from this conclusion On the contrary, it
will be generally agreed that it is an ap-
propriate recognition of one of the no.
blest women of the times.

A Good Shoe Polish.

Orange juice is one of the best dress
ings for black shoes or boots, according
to the Baltimore American: Take slice
or quarter OF an orange and rub it on the
shoe or boot
Then. when dry. brush with a soft
brush until the shoe shines like a look
ing glass This is an English recipe
Another fruit dressing is for tan shoes,
the inside of banana skin Rub the
skin over the shoe thoroughly wipe off
carefully with soft cloth briskly. Patent
leather shoes should not be polished with
blackening. These are the hardest kind
of shoes to keep looking WELL and re-
quire constant care. They may be clean
ed with damp sponge, and Immediately
dried with a soft cloth, with occasionally
a little vaselne or sweet oil. They must
never be donned in cold weather without
heating, or they will crack as soon as ex-
posed to the cold air.
To Remove Grease Spots.
Take benzine. gasoline, turpentine or,
best OF ALL ether and noisten large
ring around the grease spot, gradually
working toward the center; when this is
reached Immediately saturate two pieces
of plotting paper with the spirit, place
one beneath and the other on top of the
spot and press with a weight. By this
means the grease will be absorbed as
soon as dissolved. Care must be taken in
the use OF ether, gasoline or benzine not
to bring it near fame, as the vapor of
all three are highly inAammable
TO Remove Iron Rust.
Iron rust may be removed by holding
the spot over bowlful of water to which
little ammonia has been added and ap-
plying with glass rod or a small piece
OF wood) eighteen per cent muratic acid.
The instant the stain disappears immerse
the spot in the water. thereby prevent
ing the acid from destroying the texture
of the cloth.

Skeleton at Camp Alger.

A colored man, passing
throught the woods a short dis
tance from Dunn Loring, Va,
and near the old site of Camp
Alger, came upon a most grue-
some sight. In ditch he dis
covered portions of a human
skeleton, and upon closer exam
inatior discovered all of the
bones of a man. When he first
made the discovery only a por-
ton of the bones appeared to be
there, but looking further he
found the rest under the ground.
Many theories are being ad-
vanced as to how they came to
be buried there, the most plaus>
ible one being that the bones
are those of a soldier of the
civil war. Some at first thought
the remains were those OF some
soldier sent to Camp Alger last
year. The remains, however,
had been there so long that trees
had grown up, and. their roots
had entWined themselves around
the lower limbs in many places,
and the bones were full of small
holes. The remains were in the
bottom of a ditch, and the con~
slant flow of water brought a
portion of the bones to light.
Near the remains clay pipe and
an old pocket knife were found.

The CROWD FLED IN FEAR

At Chicago, ILL.,, Sunday, Leo
the largest of the Lincoln Parl
lions, was calmly sleeping il
his new open air cage, surround
ed by several hundred men, wo
men and children, when the
cigarette smoking youth joined
the multitude.
Ills cigarette had gone Out
and after relighting it he tossed
the still flaming match into the
cage. It stuck in Leo's name
An instant later thin spiral OF
smoke began to ascend from
the lions neck aad then the
trouble began.
With a tremor that shook his
massive frame all over the lion
awoke and, rising On his fore
paws to a sitting position, he
shifted around as if investieat,
ing. He found his troubles
quickly. The blazing tuft of
name fell athWart the royal nose
and IN a moment lie was On his
feet bowling as if possessed of
demons and making frantic cf>
forts to break through the cage.
The crowd seemed to enioy
the unusual scene until some
brilliant mind shouted He'll
get out, sure"
Then there was a STAN pede.
Mer, WOIueu and children
dashed for an open space twenty
yards away. Some reached it
IN safety some did not. A
dozen Or more women and chill
dren were knocked down and
trampled on, and four women
tainted, and even before the
panic of tie sightseers had been
quleted the roars of lear let out
by Leo were taken up by the
animals in adjoining cages and
Bedlam reigned for some time.
Keeper De Vry appeared upon
the scene with a small hose in
time to save all but Leo's name.
The cigarette youth was among
the first to escape and could
not be found.

but, feeling unWell, left before

closed. After resting some time
she went to the cistern in the
rear of the house to get a drink
of water. The cistern is par
TALLY screened from view of the
street, and when the young
lady entered the screen the man
leaped from behind the fence
and attempted to take her jewel
ry. She freed herself only to be
caught again and held until her
rings could be pulled from her
fingers. Taking three, the thief
released her and started On his
escape. Miss crane screamed
and fell back unconscious. When
she recovered she gave an alarm,
and the phones were set to
work throughout the county
and searching parties secured
the country round about. Some
time afterward a diamond ring,
a highly-prized heirloom, and a
class ring were found about
thirty feet from the place of ass
sault. The third, plain gold
band, has not been recovered.
The man is described as short,
smooth-shaven and poorly dress

of the attack is that it was less
than a hundred yards from the
Lutheran Church, where ser
vices were in progress, and in a
thickly settled vicinity. Sum

Hoch Tide jury were sworn in

men are elected each year, and
their duties are quite unique, as
on Hochpey Day they have to
visit each house in the borough
and collect coin of the realm
from the males and have the
privilege of taking kiss from
each female. These tuttimen
carry long poles adorned with
choice flowers tied with blue
streamers and surmounted with
oranges. The tuttimen are fol-
lowed by the school children,
who all have holiday OH Hoch-
ney day. Each lady who re
ceives a kiss is entitled to an
orange. In this way, and il;
throwing to the children, about
1000 oranges are distributed
during the day.-Philadelphia
