BITS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Directions for Cleaning Woods, LaceS,
POrtiers, Etc., and a Remedy
for Rh cum atism

Handmade stitching is the dain-
test finish for both table and bed
room, though not so durable for the
latter. Three inches is a good width
for the hem of pillow cases. For
fine sheets the turnover" may have
buttonhole stitched scallops or fin
ish of home made linen lace.
Shawls and other knitted or cro-
cheted woods may be cleansed in
of ammonia is used to a gallon of
water. Let the article soak about
20 minutes, then squeeze it in the
water until clear. Rinse in clear wa
ter, being careful that the tempera-
aure remains the same, and do not
stretch too much by ironing or pull
ing, says the Washington Star.
White lace or ribbon, no matter
how badly soiled, can be cleansed by
soaking for day or two in clean
suds. Squeeze and press it until quite
clean; rinse and while still damp
press the lace by hand, shaping it
into the smoothness required over the
knee on towel, or pin it to clean
ironing sheet fastened firmly on the
table. A little coffee may be used
in the rinsing water to give it the
priced creamy tint. The white rib
bon may be pressed by winding
smoothly around a bottle or glass
case.
If you have pretty Kuz-Kilim por-
there's or covers that are soiled do
not be afraid to wash them. Unless
prosaically and crudely new they
have been subjected to many hard
scrubbiIg in their own country. Soak
over night in a tub of cold suds,
then soour with brush. Always
shake the dust from rug or por-
there before washing. Still simpler
but quite efficacious is this method:
In the summer, when the grass is
thick and green, spread the rug or
curtain smoothly upon it, after shak-
ing, of course, then turn the hose on
it and hang up to dry. If you have
genuine oriental rug you need not
be afraid of it's fading, for the dyes
are vegetable. Should the rug shrink
trific, so much the better accord
ing to oriental ideas. 1t makes the
weave more compact and consequent
ly more durable.
There are not many of my pa
tients to whom l could give this pre-
scription for rheumatism, said one
of Philadelphia's most eminent ply
sicians last spring. Its very sim
plicity would make them unwilling
to give 1t a trial. 1 can assure you,
however, that if you do as l say,
you'll need no other medicine, and
you will be entirely free from rheu=
matism by fall" The prescription
was faithfully tried. A deep, rock
walled well on New Hampshire
farm furnished the specific, and the
results were all that the physician
promised. This common sense cure
for rheumatism is simply the drink
ing of two or three quarts a day of
cold (not iced) pure spring or well
water. River water will not do, as
it contains too large proportion of
the salts and acids which are dele
terious. Distilled water will not an
swer, as that contains none, and u
small amount is needful. In the city,
where river water is used, any of the
pure spring waters may be pur-
chased, but in the country natures
remedy is at hand, free to whatsoever
will. The water should not be boiled,
but in cold weather may have the
chill taken off if desired

Preserved String Beans.

The best time to do up string beans
Is in The latter part of October. Sc

A GHOsTLY MANIFESTATION.
The Remarkable Story Related by a
Washington Man About
Mandolin,

"It is sometimes possible" said a
! Washington gentleman who has
given considerable attention to the
investigation of spiritualism, ''to
trace to natural causes the source of
supposed supernatural sounds and
manifestations. | am reminded of IL
ghostly manifestation based upon ii
tragedy. 1t is for psychological
students to determine the cause, as
tions to offer beyond the mere recital
of the actual facts, which, by the
way, happened in this city," says the
Washington Star.
"The only daughter of an aunt of
mine had been presented with man.
dolin by a teacher of music of whom
she was very fond. He was an elder
ly man of family, who esteemed her
as his own child. Unhappily he be-
came victim of Incorporate habits,
and lost his pupils and property in
consequence.
Zone night after my aunt and niece
had retired the former was awakened
by what, as she positively declared,
was the unmistakable impress of a
human hand upon her own hand and
arm, which were thrown over the
coverlet of the bed. Very much
startled and frightened she sat erect.
In the faint light of the gas jet,
the hands of the clock on the man
tlepiece pointed to the hour of IL.
Almost simultaneously my niece
awoke with loud cry of terror and,
clinging to her mother, she said that
some one had shaken her by the arm.
Both mother and daughter were
awakened out of sound sleep at the
same moment by similar manifesto
ton of some apparently physical
force, as it would have been impos-
sible for one to have seized the other
in the manner described.
Gas the terrified girl was relating
her experience and sensations the
sound of music came from closet
in the far corner of the room, the
door of which was open, and in which
was the mandolin given to her by the
professor, strapped in its box. The
music was the unmistakable twang
of the fingers or the like upon the
metal strings. 1t was not a melody,
but was as though the strings had
been strummed several times by the
tips of the fingers. The sound was
loud and distinct.
"Their shrieks of terror brought
the rest of the family, including my
self, to their room. An investigation
proved that the straps around the
mandolin case were tightly buckled
and were intact. Opon opening the
case the mandolin and it's strings
were also found to be in perfect coe-
dition,
son the following day 1t was
learned that the professor had com
mitted suicide in fit of despond-
ency, and at an hour which tailed
with that when my aunt and niece
had been so rudely awakened and
the strings of the mandolin had been
struck within it's securely fastened
case.
''This instance I do not attempt to
explain, further than to reassert that
the facts are as l have given them"

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
sArtistic Gowns and Attractive MIL
] linery Now Filling the
1, Feminine Eye.

Polka dotted fabrics of all kinds are
as popular as they were several sea-
sons ago. Dark silk muslin, with polka
dots done in chenille, or in silk en-
fbroidery of the same color, are in
great demand, and are attractive when
trimmed with black Chantilly inser-
ton. Dark blue polka dot cotton
muslins always make up well, and are
fashionable both for high and low
cut waists, with skirts made of the
same goods. Sometimes these dark
blue muslins are trimmed with blue
tilet lace, as well as with black thread
lace; oftener yoke of white lace or
a small chemisette and undersleeve
Of white lace Eight" up these pretty
gowns that are so cool and so service
able, says the New York Tribune.
Colored pongee gowns, which are
considered smarter now than taffeta,
or foulard, are being made up more
deliberately than earlier in the season.
An attractive gown is of pale blue
pongee, with a box plated skirt; the
waist is plated to match the skirt, and
is trimmed with lovely plastron of
blue filet lace. Some silk embroid-
cry and small crochet drops" are COM
ibined with the lace. The hat that is
worn with this gown is of pale blue
straw trimmed with a mass of blue
field flowers. The whole is clever
study in blue.
Another artistic gown is mode of
black mousseline de sole, richly
trimmed with black lace insertion. 1t
is designed with circular founce in
box plaits, and with several rows of
a narrow black velvet ribbon caught
with small rhinestone buckles around
the foot of the founce. The waist is
trimmed with white Irish point lace
applique into the muslin, and so ar
ranged as to give the effect of a
V-shaped fichu. Between the outlines
of white lace are also rows of the
black velvet confined by the pretty
rhinestone buckles that produce fine
effect against the white and black
background. The belt with this gown
lis of wide black velvet ribbon, with
long sash ends" and is fastened at the
back with an artistic buckle of rhine
stones. The hat is made to match of
shirred mousseline de sole, long black
plumes held by rhinestone orna-
ment, with rich cluster of white,
cream hearted Lamarque roses nest
ling against the hair.
The smartest dressmakers are using
woolen laces in profusion for all kinds
of lightweight cloth gowns. They are
sometimes white, sometimes cream, or
sometimes match the gown in color,
and are found in the form of inlets,
yokes, trimmings, and even as whole
coats mounted on satin or taffeta. 1t
is much like the old-fashioned Yak
lace, which might be used instead, if
one CHANGED to have any laid away.
There is novel way of mounting the
lace fiounce in millinery of which one
is justifiably becoming trife tired.
black and white turban has. the white
brim yelled with black lace, depart
ure from the trite cream substitute.
In front the veil falls only two inches
in depth, but at the sides it increases
in width to as much as six or eight
inches, so that the hair is gracefully
draped with lace both there and at
the back where the veil is knotted.

A Rrnre Nurse Commented.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-An in stance of bravery and devotion to duty on the part of an army nurse has been reported to the war department by Ma jor General Chaffee, commanding the division of the Philippines, in the fol- lowing words: "Nurse Alice Kemnler, army nurse corps, having been granted leave of absence, voluntarily relin- quished the same and took upon her self the care of two smallpox patients in an isolation hospital. One of the pa tients was the wife of an officer, the other an enlisted man. Miss Kemmer had never had the disease, neverthe- less she fearlessly entered upon her self imposed task and through the months of April and May, 1902, devot- ed herself to the care of the patients, living in the room with the officers wife, the enlisted man being in an ad- 5oiiing room. With never more than two hours sleep at q time in intensely hot weather the nurse attended her patients day and night and saved their lives" General Chaffee then commends her bravery and conscientious per formance of duty.
