PARIS. Feb. "a 15-year-old lad
named DelhOmme has been arrested
here for the commission Of a most
brutal murder. the result of a wager
made apparently in Jest.
He and three companions were
standing on a street corner, where
upon Delhomme wagered trifiing
sum that he would stab the first man
who came along the street.
Then the mad youth. armed with q
long butcher knife, calmly waited in
the Avenue de Paiais until a man
passed, when he stabbed him several
times in the back, infiicting almost
instant death.
When Delhomme was arrested he
was trying to collect the amount of
the bet from his companions on the
strength of the blood-stained knife
which he still had. He exhibited no
emotion when apprehended and led
away to Jail.

Iwonder which Of US has ever walked

Yet many young women and girls do
far greater distances than that at
every ball and dance at which they
enjoy their pleasure, says the Cathohc
Mirror. Most young ladies shrink from
the idea Of walking five miles and three
quarters to any place and back again;
and vet how merrily the light fantaS-

feel perfectly we'll able to waltz. Now,
an average waltz takes dancer about
three-quarters of mile; square
dance makes her cover half mile. A
girl with a well-flled programme
travels thus in one evening: Twelve
waltzes, nine miles; four other dances,
at half mile apiece (Which is hardly
a fairly big eStimate), two miles more.
The intermediate strolls and trips to
the dressing room TO remove her toilet,
ETC., say, half mile more; grand total
11h miles.
Far be it from me to depreciate any
healthy and innocent recreation; but
might not the limbs capable OF this
exertion sometimes find the whole
some exercise in carrying their owner
toward some sphere Of distress, toward
the homes of the aged, the lonely the

FINE LAUNDRY WORK.
Knowledge of n Few Rules OF Needle
work Necessary to Make
1t Success.

So many of the table cloths, center
pieces and doilies are decorated with
embroidery that the matter OF Iaun-
dering them properly becomes very
important one, for, after eXpenddng
hours of work upon them, it is distress
ing to have them despoiled of their
beauty after few washings. When
trusted to the ordinary washerwoman
they fare badly, and, as it is neither
difficult nor laborious task to keep
these articles in the best of order, II
is usually best to do the work at home,
says the Boston Budget.
1t is necessary TO understand few
simple rules of needlework If the laun-
dering is to be a success. In the hrst
place, use only pale tints and the best
quality of embroidery silks. Never use
a knot, for each one will show plainly
when the linen is pressed, and never
cross from one part of the design TO
another, leaving loose thread be-
tween. Take care not to draw the work

for washing, place them in suds maze
by dissolving a little soap and pow
dered borax in tepid water, and rub
gently between the hands until clean
Be careful not to have the water hot,
for the best embroidery silk is apt to
fade a little if it is put in hot water
Rinse thoroughly to remove every
trace of soap, and wiring out gently.
Very little starch is needed in such arti-
cles, and that little may be put in the
second rinse water. Stretch each piece
in shape, fold evenly and roll up ready
for ironing. There will be no danger
of the starch sticking to the irons If
a little powdered borax is dissolved in
the starch. Cover the ironing board
