THE LINEN COLLAR.
How to Transform n soiIed, CrumpIed
One Into Fresh One In
Five Minutes.

Rail against linen collars as one will
they hold n place for trim morning
or street toilets that has not yet been
filled by any Of the numerous styles Of
neck lingerie exhibited in the shops
just now. To transform a soiled, crum-
pied collar into a fresh, clean one may
be made the work OF few moments
without so much as n visit to kitchen or
laundry. A cheap little affair that fits
on the gas fixture or large lamp will
insure hot iron, and with the aid of
bit OF white CASTLE soap and little
powdered French chalk, a nice finish
may be given TO the linen. The latter,
however, must not be confused with
the high polish no longer desirable.
When the linen has been washed and
starched in the usual way ("elastic"
or cold water starch does away with the
need of boiling water), place the collar
on the ironing board well stretched,
and just before applying the hot iron
rub first with a damp cloth rubbed
over with the soap, then with another
upon which the chalk has been sprin-
killed.. This application and the ironing
is all to be done on the right side. Do
not attempt TO dry thoroughly while
ironing, as this turns linen yellow, but
finish by drying in the sun IL there is
no heat convenient. The use at the last
of white CASTLE soap and French chalk
gives a coating to the linen that helps
much in tn washing, as after n few
minutes soaking in tepid water the dirt
slips off without having penetrated the
whole. This hint will be found very
practical one, as it insures against the
ingrained dust and grease which is so
difficult TO deal with in quick laundry
work. This does not, however, do away
with the need Of thorough rinsing.-

RIGHT AND WRONG POSITIONS.

spiral springs, so that all parts are in
dependent OF one another, and the
springs at the center are stronger than
those at the head and foot, because they
have more weight to support. In this
way il becomes possible for the tired
man or woman 10 obtain the greatest
possible amount of benefit from the
hours devoted to sleep. If they will
use moderately hard mattress, OF
cotton or hair, never of feathers, and
not too high pillow, seeing that when
they are in bed the body is not curled
up in a knot by the poor springs and
that the feet and back are in almost a
straight line, the repose gained while
lying either on the right or left side
will prove refreshing and healthful.--

Hearty Fellowship Won by Plain
and Unassuming Words
and Manner.

A successful city physician said, late
ly: / went, when / was a student, to a
course of lectures on natural science.
The first was given by Prof. Dart, a
teacher of small repute in prepare
tory school. He began in pompous,
sententious tone:
",rhe primal laws of natural Sci
ence are so reconcile as 10 challenge
the comprehension OF the loftiest in
tellect." This was followed by the
statement of these laws in technical
language, majestic and ponderous.
He may have known what he meant,
said the physician, but / am sure mono
of his hearers knew. We listened, per.
picked and anxious for awhile, and then
gave il up, and sat careless and inditfer.

The next lecturer at the college was
man who at that time ranked as one OF
the most learned scientists in Amer
lea. The pupils were aprehensive. III
we could not understand the little
man." they said, what was the use OF
listening to the great one?"
However, the hall was filled, more
from curiosity to see the famous natu-
ralist than from any hope of benefit.
When the hour arrived, q fatherly-look
ing German stepped forward, and, nod
ding kindly, said:
young men, allow me to make n
personal allusion. My father was hat
ter, who lived on Third street. His sec
ond wife was my stepmother, but kind
and wise In her treatment of me. When
l was a mere boy, loved TO study
beetles and plants and birds. Let him
do it,, she said. 1T is good for him.
When | was grown she said; That is his
work. lie must keep to it'll So it is
owing TO her that / have learned little
about these living things. ! am now
going to try to tell you something OF
the little that / know"
These simple words brought us in a
moment into hearty fellowship with
the kind old man. The truths he
taught us were told with the same
homely directness, in striking contrast

a person has attained this age, and she
proposes that her grandchild shall be-
come used to seeing vast audiences be-
fore she has become old enough to be
tainted with this one grave fault.
She herself appeared upon the stage
when she was eight years of age, and
that, she believes, is the reason why
sh has never realized that a crowd of
people had their eyes fixed upon her.
AS il is, she never sees an audience, and
the vast sea Of faces that so terrifies
many players has no effect upon her.
Little Miss Craig is to be given the
same advantage.
The next two years OF the child's life
will be spent in the theater AS often
as possible she will be upon the stage
during the progress of the plays. Al
first she will be given no lines, but she
will have her place and she will be ex-
pected to fill 1t creditably. She will
also be permitted TO play about in the
wings. She will become well acquainted
with the uses of scenery and drops.
She will learn all about wigs and paints.
Costumes will become an old story TO
her.
During this time no one will be al
lowed TO fatter her. Judicious praise
may be given, but little of IL, and she
will be taught TO believe that the only
way TO do n thing is TO do IL well.
While she is undergoing this training,
however, her physical training will not
be neglected. She will have plenty OF
fresh country air. She will play i'm
the fields. She will wear loose clothing.
Everything will be done TO make her
perfect specimen OF healthy woman-
hood. Whether she is at home or on
the stage, she will be surrounded by
the best OF people only.
When little Miss Craig is nine years
Of age attention will be paid TO her or
binary education. She win learn To
read the best books. She will be taught
TO see the beauty in blank verse. She
will study the dramatists. She will be-
come familiar with the people and Gus
toms OF all ages. She will learn 10
play upon musical instruments. 10
sing. but above all. she will be taught 10
observe people. When all this has been
accomplished she will be ready 10 90

CAPT. CHADWICk's CASE.
All the Papers Now in the Hands of
the President.


Secretary Long took all the papers iii the
case of Capt. Chadwick to the White House
with him this morning. He left them with
the President, but OWING 20 the latters in
disposition, on account of the grip, the case
Vas not considered at the cabinet meeting,
nor was any action taken with regard to 1t.
1t is now conceded that no action will be
taken by the Navy Department until after
the President has had an opportunity to
consider the merits or dement's of the ques-
ton. The general impression among naval
officers is that the worst that will happen
to Capt Chadwick will be a reprimand by
the Secretary of the Navy and an admoni-
ton against the improperly Of one officers
undertaking to pass Judgment upon the
official conduct of another, especially in the
case of subordinate against a superior
officer.
In the case Of Capt. Coghlan of the
Raleigh, which is cited as a possible prece-
dent for action in this case, the officer was
reprimanded in writing by the Secretary of
the Navy and cautioned against a repeti-
ton of his offense. singular feature of
that case, however, was the fact that the
text of the reprimand was not made public
1t is conceded that the authorities We're
lenient in the case of Capt. Coghlan because
of his splendid record in the battle of Ma

1t is said that Capt. Chadwick asked for
a court of inquiry, in order to Vindicate
himself and keep his record clear, but the
report could not be verified. 1t had color
of plausibility from the fact that Capt
Chadwick has always insisted that such

Sensation in Turkey Over the OficiaI'.
Disappearance.


CONSTANTINOPLE, May 1.-Ismail Ke-
NAL Bey. we'll known for his friendliness for
Great Britain, who was recently appointed
vail of Tripoli, which appointment is tanta-
mount to exile, has mysteriously disappear
ed. He embarked on Saturday with the
German colonel, Won Ruedgisch, who is
also going to Tripoli for the purpose of re-
organizing the military defensive works
there, on board the dispatch boat Fuad.
The captain of the vessel not having re-
ceived imperial authorization to sail Ismail
kemal Bey and Col. Won Ruedgisch landed
during the evening.
Subsequently the newly appointed vail
disappeared, and no one knows his present
whereabouts 1t is believed that he had
been planning to escape abroad with his
three sons.

law. who disappeared from Constantinople

GIVEN SIX MORE YEARS.
Extension of Time Granted the Pan
anna Canal Company.

A cablegram received here from Paris an
nounces that the Panama Canal Company
has been granted an extension of the period
of time allowed for the completion of the
canal of six years. The time limit under the
original concession would expire toward the
end of the year 1904, SO that the company
has all the time until the close of the year
1910 to complete its work.
The engineers connected with the 18TH
mtan canal commission express the opinion
that the Panama canal can surely be COM
pleted within the extension, and this latest
development may be expected to affect the
pending HayPauncefote treaty and the
Nicaragua canal BILL either to hasten action
