The Shrinking of Cinrhnm.

In making up dresses of gingham,
Madras, pique, ETC., especially when
domestic material is chosen, the goods
should be sbrunk before cutting. This
may be done by dipping the fabric
quickly in water, allowing it to re-
main long enough to wet 1t thorough
ly, but by no means soaking it. Lift
it from the water and dram without
wringing; hang so that threads run
straight, and shake from time to time
until almost dry then press carefully
with hot iron. The rapid drying
thus induced will result in the desired
shrinking. Heavy linens and fine
French OF silk glnghNms do not re-
quire treatment Of this kind, but these
should be cut invariably according to
the thread, otherwise they will be sure
to hang uneyenly after their first visit
to the laundry. A very common
source Of dissatisfaction in the appear
ance of wash-dresses made in the ma
terials above described IS to be traced
to the employment Of too fine ma
chine stitch, which often Fuckers a
seam badly, especially if the material
has not been shrunk previous to max
ing. Even with exceedingly fine or
Candle medium sized stitch is pre-
ferable, especially for long seams such
as occur in skirts. This is a defect in
home dress.making that should be
equally guarded against in the stitch
ing of yelling cloths, India silks, or
silk ginghams. Even where stitching
is employed as garniture smoother
effect will be gained by setting the
machine SO as to bring from eighteen
to twenty-five stitches within the inch.
In stitching up bias seams in ging-
hams or other wash fabrics these will
be best sustained by backing them
with narrow bias strip Of same ma
terial Stayed in this way there need
be no fear Of disaster after laundering.

Three prisoners effected their escape
from the county Jail at Huntsville by
making a hole through n sandstone
wall. The men are all white. Their
names are Lee Chandler, charged with
grand larceny; John McMunn, burg
larry; Jake j. Leyins, grand larceny.
The prisoners were in the same cell
on the ground floor Of the old Jail.
They evidently had an accomplice on
the outside who furnished them with
a cord or more Of stove wood. The
three nen burned a fire against the
sandstone wall, and while it was very
hot dashed cold water against it. This
crumbled the sandstone to sand and
soon made a hole big enough for a

Use artistic glasses. Do not use more

Kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your oolors to form bold

should be to show off the flowers
