Dress for Camping.

Katharine A. Chandler. in Good House
keeping.
For a months trip two short skirts are
desirable. so that in case of rain or acct
dent a change can be made. a denim or
corduroy of a shade that will not show soil
is the best for service. Both should be of
the same color and then one jacket is suffi-
cient. We have the dressmaker make two
pairs of leggins of the same material as
the skirts, and they prove very satisfac-
tory. The three or four shirt waists should
be of cotton crepe or Seersucker, as these
look quite well after the primitive launder-
ing at a mountain brook, without fiat
iron. \ soft canvas hat is the best head
protection, although sunbOnnet Is often
preferred by those who can bear them over
their ears. a sweater is of great comfort,
but, whether it be taken or not, a large
shawl or golf cape is necessary for the
hours of resting in the twilight. Comfort
able shoes are the greatest essential TO
pleasant trip. and these should be tried
some days before leaving home. There are
fine boots now made just for tramping, but
We like best the lighter ones that our feet
have grown used TO. Just before starting
We have a heavy sole put on and Hungar-
ian nails fixed on both soles and heels: Unc
less they are nearly new, two pairs of
tramping shoes should be taken, as the
stitches in old shoes are often loosened by
moisture; a lighter pair fer re resting ~ en- IN

be saved by wearing two pairs of stockings.

and they should be of a material that will
stand laundering in the passing stream or
lake. large quantity of hairpins and
safety pins and mendlng bag VIII be
found indispensable TO a tidy appearance
throughout the trip.

EIGHTH DISTRICT MAN.


S. r. Bell. one of the representative Re-
pubicans of the Eighth district, was here
yesterday from Union City. Mr.. Bell was
a member of the House of Representative
two years ago and has been renominated
by the Republicans of Randolph county for
the same position. There appears to be no
doubt among Mr.. Bells friends that he will
be returned to his seat in the House. He
was considered one of the most conserva-
tive and reliable members of the House
two years ago. He was chairman of the
committee on cities and towns and was
member of the judiciary committee. Ran
dolph county will be for George w. Cromer
for Congress all right" said Mr.. Bell yes
terday. I'm my opinion he will get some
Democratic votes. a prominent Democrat
told me the other day that he proposed to
vote for Cromer because some of the Re-
publicans seemed to be against the candi-
date"
Mr.. Bell is much interested in the pros
pective apportionment bill although he has
no views to express a this time. This
will be one of the important matters to
come before the Legislature" he said yes
terday, and the contract labor system in
the State Prison will have to be taken care
of in some way"

Home Sec1usion.

Good Housekeeping.
The first point 10 be considered in the
building of a house is its position on the
grounds. This is most important. For
eigners are always impressed with the fact
that we Americans live so much in the
public view. In England houses placed
well back from the road and surrounded
by walls or hedges. and there is secluson
and a nominees about life in such a house
which the American, sitting al his plate
glass window ten feet from the street can
never feel. We live too much for our
neghbors eyes. The smooth-shaven lawn,
with its straight asphalt walk and its SYM
metrical flower beds, has no beauty save
its tidiness. Contrast with this the pic
turesque gardens surrounded by hedges
and scattered with trees and shrubs.
through which may be seen glimpses of the
house within. There is air of seclusion
and mystery about such a house which
makes il most interesting.
1t is the fashion at present 10 leave our
lawns fenceless at the street line. This Is
truly American. Let us copy our English
cousins and surround our little plot with
the good old-fashioned hedge the gray
stone wall. over which nasturtiums may
run. If fences are used they should be
studied with the house and correspond
with its architecture. For instance. for a
colonial house a picket fence, with each
dignifed post surmounted by an urn, is
only apprODriate.

BIG -FOUR OFFICIALS.


Officials of the Big Four Railway began
to gather at the Grand Hotel, yesterday
evening, for the meeting to be held at 9
o'clock this morning to discuss the new
rules relating to the payment for cars
loaned one road by another. These rules
will soon go into effect, and the Big Four
men will brush" up on them a the meet
ing to-day. Under the present arrange
ment a road borrows a car from another
line and pays mileage for it. Under the
new rules, instead OF paying by the mile
for the car, road will pay much a day.
The new rules were adopted" said one of
the Big Four men last night, $50 that roads
may be paid for cars whether they are run
ming or not. Under the present rule a car
might stand on the switch all day. and
consequently the company owning ii would
receive nothing for its use while it stood
there"
Nearly all of the principal roads have
agreed to the new rules. il is said. Among
those who had arrived last night to attend
the meeting to-day were Thomas Reynolds,
of Mount Carmel, ILL.,. superintendent of
the Cairo division of the Big Four; Tip
Blizzard of Wabash. superintendent of the
Michigan division; Trainmaster Court
right. of the Michigan division: E. H.
Waldo, freight agent at Anderson, and O.
w. Beckwith of Kankakee, trainmaster of
the Chicago division.

PLANS FOR A BIG SEWER
THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED By
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Beginning of a Sewage system fOI
North Indiana poIis-Other Mu-
nicipal Affairs.

The Board of Public Works has approved
the plans OF the city engineer for the
Northwestern-avenue sewer. and the reso-
luton and profile have been signed by the
board This sewer, which will be 300 feet
long. will be the beginning Of the improve
ment of what was old North indianapolis.
The sewer will be i'm Northwestern ave
nue. and Twenty-fourth street. from Fall
creek TO Crown Hill Cemetery. II will cost
about $4,000. and of this amount about
$4,000 will be paid by the Cemetery Asso-
citation The remaining portion will be as
sessed against property bounded by Twen-
ty-fourth street on the south. Annetta
street on the west. Thirty-second street on
the north and Senate avenue on the east.
The sewer is a sanitary one and will con-
meet with the White river intercepter. AT
its outlet il will be sem-circular and will
be five feet high and ten feet wide. 1t will
diminish gradually until IL reaches an oval.
two by three feet and then ending in a
pipe sewer diminishing from twenty-four
inches 70 ten inches at the termination.
The sewer will have fifty-one catch basins,
twenty-five manholes and thirty-five in
let's. A part of it will be three-ring con-
structon, but most of il will be two rings.
1t will be the main sewer for this district,
and from IT branches of local character
will be made later so that North Indian
apolis will have a complete sewer system.
This system will be added to later with a
main sewer further west, probably follow
ing the course OF the canal the cost OF
which will fall on the property west OF
Annetta street.
The construction of this main sewer is
looked upon as the beginning Of extensive
improvements i'm North Indianapolis. The
objection to improving Northwestern ave-
nue. with permanent pavement has been
the absence of a sewer system. IL is likely
that the improvement of this thoroughfare.
which is becoming the Washington street
of the northwest part of the city, will be
begun next spring.

Odds and Ends.

If new linen be rubbed over with fine
white soap it may be embroidered more
easily. This prevents the threads from
cracking.
For dingy or rusty gold or steel beads.
and also gold or tinsel embroidery burn
alum, pound it fine and sift through coarse
muslin. Apply with soft brush.
There is no domestic remedy that so
promptly cuts short congestion of the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as will
hot water when applied promptly and thor
oughly.
Instead of using knife or scissors blade
in recurring plumeS, try a smooth piece of
whalebone. Begin at the base of the fiues
and draw them tightly and firmly between
the thumb and the whalebone. II they curl
too much do not hold them quite so tightly
and begin further from the quill
1t is we'll to remember in treating wash
fabrics that alum used in the rinSng water
will prevent green from fading; handful
of salt thrown into the rinsing water will
set blue; OK gall may be used for gray and
brown. For washing tan or brown linen
hay-water is good to use This is made by
pouring boiling water over hay.
To clean mirrors and window panes mix
some powdered whiting to a thin paste
and rub this over the surface. Wipe with
a dry cloth and polish with chamois leath-
err Clean only small portion of glass at
time, as whiting Is difficult to remove
if allowed TO dry. Be careful not to touch
the gilt frames of your mirror with the
mixture.
Patent leather shoes and boots when
fresh and new should be wiped over after
every wearing and put away in some place
secure from dust, where the air is neither
too hot nor too cold. Extremes of temper
allure injure the leather. When the shoes
begin TO show signs OF wear they should
be wiped over with a sponge and warm
water, and, after being carefully dried,
should be brushed over lightly with patent
leather varnish sold for the purpose. Never
put patent leather near the fire.
In a household where fruits appear at
every meal and in many guises, favorite
way OF preparing prunes, dates, figs and
raisins Is soaking them in cold water until
all the lost moisture has been restored.
They are then drained. rolled in granu-
lated sugar and placed in a single layer on
board to dry. They are used in place of
bonbons. The stones are removed from the
dates and prunes after the soaking, but be-
fore they are sugared. The prunes need A
longer soaking than the other fruits. The
centers may be filled with nuts OF with
fOndant.

SHOEMAKING IN GERMANY.
stops for Beer and Luncheon Cut
Down Factory's Output.

]. H. Burger, president of a shoe manu-
featuring company at Allentown. Pa. is at
the Grand Hotel. European shoe manu-
facturers cannot compete with American
manufacturers with any degree of success"
he remarked last night. 1.-The superintend-
ent of our establishment had an experience
in Germany some time ago that illustrated
this point. He is native of Germany and
went back to his native land on a visit. On
his return he told me of having visited a
shoe manufacturing establishment. He was
informed that FIVE hundred people were en-
ployed in the factory and that the daily
output was five hundred pairs of shoes. He
learned that the employees went TO work at
o clock in the morning and worked until
about 9, when they laid off to have their
beer and some lunch. They then went 10
work and kept a work until about noon
when they stopped again. They worked in
the afternoon until about o'clock when
there was another rest and a lunch and
some beer. This one of the chief rea-
sons why they could only get out five hun
dred pairs of shoes a day. The proprietOrs
of the establishment were much surprised
TO learn from our superintendent that we
got out about eighteen hundred pairs of
shoes day.
