CARE OF MATTRESSES.
Need Constant Attention to Keen
Them Odor1ess and in
Good Order.

The feather bed is, of course, thing
of the past. 1t is probably not lament
ed in many quarters, as it is certainly
unhealthy, difficult to care for, and not
pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses, blank
cts, pillows and other articles of bed
ding, however, require much care to
keep them odorless and clean.
The main enemies to mattresses are
dust, damp and moth, and frequent
brushing must be given them, for in an
incredibly short time they will harbor
dust all along the edges and where the
button is fixed. A loose cotton cover
over the mattress, made to button neat
ly at one end, always goes a long way
toward keeping it clean. This can be
washed and changed as often as need
be without much trouble or expense
1t is very important to air all the bed
ding throughout. Every article should
be daily taken off and laid separately
ever a chair, and strong current OF
air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes
are replaced. The mattress should be
turned daily from end to end, as this
insures it being worn more evenly, and
not sinking in the middle.
Blankets are difficulty to many peo~
pie, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed, or how treated. In
many houses they are only washed once
year, but somehow this does seem
rather too rare a proceeding. On the
other hand, it is really not necessary to
have them washed more than twice a
year; but they must have proper care
in the interval in the shape of airing,
shaking, etc. A washing machine is
very good for the purpose, especially
as they should never be rubbed by the
hand. The water. should be only luke
warm, and a little soap well lathered
in the water in all that will be required.
Wiring the blankets very dry through a
>wringer, shake them out, and, wash
again in the same way, wringing each
time, until they are quite clean. Do
not rinse them, but pull them into
shape, and hang them out in the sun,
which is great help to preserving a
good color.-Ladies' Home Journal

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Odd Items of Interest for Ladies' Who
Follow the Latest
Fashions.

All bodices show lace or some light
decoration at the neck, the finest kind
of Alencon being as much in evidence
as Irish and guipure lace.
Jet plays an important part on all
evening gowns. 1t is immensely be-
coming and decorative and particular
ly effective when combined with white
tulle.
All costumes worn in the daytime are
Of the strictest tailor-made order, fash
toned in the lightest colored cloths, and
stitched in straight line or scalloped
edge.
Little neck ruches and shoulder capes
are much in demand for evening use.
Some are made of chiffon in lavender
and rose pink, with accordion-plaited
double-neck ruff quite high at the neck.
Hats are more elaborate than ever,
either entirely made of flowers or tulle.
Those of embroidered mousseline, with
huge blossoms made of mousseline with
velvet petals, are pretty and much in
vogue.
a great run is predicted for corded
silks and poplins. In Paris they are
preparing dotted and Chenille silks, the
groundwork in many instances darker
than the pattern covering it. There are
many silks mixed with velvet also.
There is a new canvas which is like
ly to find warm approval, being a mix
ture of silk and wool, the former pre-
dominating. A dark navy blue had
been made up into a skirt and open bod
ice, which was filled in with an under
vest formed of fully gathered black
and white striped ribbon in marked
contrast to the red reyers. This bod
ice was of the jacket order, with tabs
at the waist. The sleeves were made
short to the elbow, with full sleeves
below of the striped silk ending in
red cuff. The skirt was cut, as so many
are, on the cross, with seam up the
center of the back.
The pompadour element is great
feature in spring fashions, and it re-
peated itself in the sleeves at the wrist.
There was a jacket bodice, and a great
deal of stitching figured on the seams,
and these close-set rows of stitching
will be marked novelty in coming
modes. 1t was exemplifed in dress
of quite new color, vivid turquoise
with a predominance of green in it, the
material fine-faced cloth. The tunic
here crossed at the side, and was edged
all round with three stitched bands of
lighter tone, each band being covered
with stitchings about half an inch
apart, while the petticoat was of the
lighter shade, entirely covered with
bands of the darker color, in close
set rows, also stitched all over. The
bodice was full, with white satin trim
mings covered with lace; it buttoned
over at one side with three square paste
buttons, and had epaulettes and cuff
trimmings of white satin, with silver
embroidery mlingled.-N. Y. Times,

NORTH CAROLINA BEARS.
The Mischtevous Animals Are a Pest
in Three Counties Of II 4
/ p" * the State 81 * 4

I notice in your issue OF January II
that Curator Brimley, Of the state mu-
scum at Raleigh, adyertises for bears
for specimens, therefore / write
to say that if he will send into
Hyde, Beaufort or Tyrrell coun-
ties, which occupy the peninsula
between PamlicO and Albemarle sounds,
in North Carolina, he can get all the
bears he cares to give room to. If any
one has lost any bears that is tho loca-
ton to find them. [-}.
This intersound region is divided into
alternating areas of swamp, cornfeld
and prairie, or savanna, with here and
there lake or an apple orchard thrown
in, and the bears trade from one to the
other, according to the season of the
year, or as they have opportunity.
These savannas are used almost uni
versally as cattle ranges, and there have
been at times large stock companies
which grazed many hundreds of herds.
In the early springtime, before vege-
tation is sprouted, the bears feed on the
young jumpers (white CEDAR, by strip
ping off the bark and sucking the sap.
Later on they eat young ferns and all
kinds of new growth and insects, and
afterward worthberries, coonberries
and the like. Then they climb the
black gums for fruit, taking the green
corn next, and then the nuts and
acorns, and from fall to spring destroy
cattle and hogs. In the green corn sea-
son it is the easiest thing in the world
for them to come out of the marginal
swamBs by the fields and regale them
selves on the farmers roasting ears,
and when cattle are running in the win
ter and berries and mast are done
(gone?), and the cowpeas and corn are
stacked or housed, they naturally take
to fresh meat. In fact, everything goes
then. Stockyard and hogpen are not
exempt, even when in close proximity
to the dwellings. In hard winters,
which happen periodically, the havoc
among the herds has been so great that
stringent measures have been employed
to exterminate the ursine depredators.
Spring guns, traps, deadfalls, poison,
side-hunts and drives have been put into
eISO1FC uoO3 ct11O SCO1 CS VI CdICdSSCS nave
been gathered. in. Still the slaughter
continued among the cattle, and the
sinnaber bears continued to get in their
work until their numbers were deci-
mated. (Sinnabers are cattle bears,
and always carry a white spot on the
breast. Hog bears are smaller and.
differently At last the cattle were
afraid to go into the slashes at all, and
kept entirely to the savannas. The
bears would climb the jumpers, gums
and expresses where the trails passed,
and, lying along the extended limb,
drop like panthers upon the luckless
animals passing beneath, sucking the
blood from their necks and clinging to
them as they ran. In the end the "crit-
ter would succumb from fright, bleed
ing or exhaustion, and die miserably.-
