There are several ways of darning
rent in q garment, as there are several
different kinds of rents. The rent
known as the barn door," three cor
nered cut or tear, Is perhaps the most
difficult. Lay under it a piece of the
same material, taking square an
inch larger each way than the tear,
and haste this down on the wrong side
smoothly and firmly. Take a thread
of, as nearly as possible. the same
color and fineness as the wool of the
cloth and work back and forth across
the rent with the smallest of running
stitches. Never try to darn, even in
heavy cloth, with coarse needle, but
always use as fine one as will carry
the thread you have elected to use.
When all is darned, turn on the wrong
side, trim of the superhuous patch,
leaving only fourth of an inch each
side of the rent, and press neatly with
a warm iron ON the right side, laying
a piece of damp muslin between the
goods and the iron.

Powdering the Hair.

In 1906 the mayor of Yarmouth,
England, issued the following procla-
nation: lowing to the present enor-
nous price of corn and the alarming
apprehension of scarcity in that most
necessary article, many towns through
out the kingdom have set the laudable
example of leaving off for time the
custom Of wearing powder in their
hair, by which means a great quantity
Of wheat must infallibly be saved to
the nation, and If the price be not re-
duced it may at least be prevented
from increasing. We, therefore, the
mayor, justices and principal inhab-
ltants of Great Yarmouth, do recon-
mend the example as worthy imitation,
and we fiatter ourselves the military
will not hesitate to adopt 1t, being
fully convinced that appearances are
at all times to be sacrificed to the pub
lie veal. and that in doing this they
will really do good

strange Animal Friendship,

Pathetic instances are told of strange
friendships between animals in cap
tiyity A curious incident occurred in
New Orleans some years ago. when Il
bear was lowered into the cage of an
old African lion. The keepers sup.
posed it would be torn to pieces, and
many people assembled to see the bar
barous exhibition. The bear at once
assumed the offensive and rushed at
the lion, but, to the amazement of the
Onlookers. the lion, hitherto regarded
as extremely savage and dangerous,
placed his paw upon the bears head as
if to express his pity and tried to make
friends with him.
Taking the bear under his protection.
the lion suffered no one to approach
the cage and did not sleep until he was
exhausted, so closely did he watch over
his new friend. He even allowed him
to share his food.
The two animals would lie down side
by side, the lion usually with a pro-
tective paw over the bear. His delight
in companionship was manifested I'M
mistakably. and his captors were hui
name enough to let the two share the
same cage-Kansas City Independent.

HOW 10 Make Calcimine,

One pound of uncolored gelatin glue,
as free from grease as possible, Is
soaked over night in cold water sufti-
cient to cover the glue, says the Paint
ers' Magazine. Thirty pounds of Eng
fish cliff stone paris white, bolted or
best bolted gilders' whiting, is also
soaked in sufficient water to make a
paste over night, and next morning
both are heated with steam or over a
moderate fire in a water bath to the
boiling point, and when the glue is
fully dissolved the two materials are
thoroughly mixed. In summer time,
on cooling, small portion Of carbolic
acid, say about one-eighth Of an ounce
diluted with water, is added for each
pound Of glue used in the aforesaid
formula to keep it from SQUIRTING. and
In this way the calcimine will keep for
some weeks. 1t Is said that the work
men rather like this preparation be-
cause of its good working properties.

How to Save Your Life IL Caught Il
a Fire.
Annie Willis Mccullough Youths Companion.

EAEC.
''What persons should do if cut off
from escape is TO shut the door of the
room in which they are and make for
the nearest window. sad Chief Swing
ley of the St Louis fire department to
New York World reporter.
1.-THE best way is to crawl. There is
always a space next the floor where
the air is good. Smoke always rises
don't care If building is filled with
dense smoke-a window can be reached
by crawling and keeping the head close
to the floor.
Persons should get on the outside of
the window. The room may be filled
with fire, but it will take some time
before the fire reaches them. Persons
should wait until their clothes catch
on fire before jumping. 1t is almost
sure death to jump.
Burning buildings do not fall imme
diately. They are generally burning al
least half an hour before they begin to
fall. Even IL the building does begin
to fall the portion where one is may
not fall.
"Of course when persons are placed
in great danger minutes seem like
hours. The engines get to fires in the
majority Of cases within a few minutes
after the alarm has been given.
Another thing that am reminded
of Is the fact of how few persons know
the location of fire alarm boxes near
est to their residences and how to give
an alarm. Every one should familiar
lze himself with the location Of the
box and how to turn in an alarm"

How to Make sachet Powders Of
Lasting Fragrance.
A sachet of loEg lasting fragrance
can be made by keeping the peels of
lemons that come into the household
and mixing them with caraway seeds,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une.
Take half an ounce of the powdered
seeds and half pound of the powder
ed lemon peel.
The Feelings can be ground in an
ordinary kitchen coffee mill.
Mix the two powders well together,
and over it all pour mixture of one
and one-half drains of oil of lemon peel
and three ounces of oil of bergamot.
This makes a dainty powder for
sachets to use in the bureau drawers,
linen closets, hatboxes, handkerchief
cases, etc.
rather expensive sachet, but one
that pays well for the making, is COM
posed thus:
Oil of patchouli, one-half dram oil
of rose geranium, one-half dram; altar
of roses, one-half dram; oil of sandal
wood, one dram; oil of lavender, one
dram; oil of cloves, one-half dram; oil
of bergamot, three and one-half drains;
extract of musk, one-half dram Mix
well and add to two drains of this COM
pound one ounce of powdered orris
root, one dram Of Tonquin beans and
two ounces of sifted pine sawdust.
This is favorite sachet for veil rolls
and blouse boxes.
ping occasionally few drops of the
scented oils on the sachets.

Hope On, Toll On.

oh, my brother, are you weary?
Does the way seem long and dreary
That leads up to the new era
You have pictured in your dreams?
Is your portion one of sorrow?
Yet be brave and strive to borrow
From the glory of the morrow
That beyond your vision CLEANS.
Never" Cease the wall of never"
For the race moves on forever
Up the highway of endeavor
TO the heights that onward glow.
There is no room for despairing,
But for action and for daring
And for helping and upbearing
One another as we 60
There are lives that we may brighten;
There are burdens we may tighten;
There are joys that we may heighten;
There are wounded hearts to bind;
There are letters to be broken;
There are blessings to be spoken;
Let us give them as q token
OF the love we bear mankind.
See, a golden bow Is bending
Over us. its glory lending
Unto us, a message sending
That the world Is moving on.
From its ancient moorings drifting
While the tides of thought are shifting
And the broken mists are lifting
From the gateways of the dawn.
Oh, my brother, cease complainingl
See, the night of wrong is waning,
And the king of right is reigring,
And the flag of hopes unfurled.
There are evils left for righting;
There are battles left for fighting;
There are beacons left for lighting,
To illuminate the world.
As, when all her hues combining
In a golden tinted lining,
Through the clouds the morn Is shining
So tbs futures upturned face,
With glow of promise burning.
My rapt spirit is discerning,
While humanity is turning
To the morning of the race
Better days are breaking Ger US.
From the nearing goal before US
We can hear joyous chorus
Waited Ger the years to be.
Through the portals, open swinging,
Notes of sweet and rapturous singing
Down the futures aisles are ringing
From the anthems of the free.

HOW to Erase Stains.

Spots will often yield to chloroform
when if gasoline were used mark
would be left on the goods, as is often
the case with delicate silks and satins.
Blood stains will disappear If first
dipped in kerosene before washing In
soap and water. Muriatic acid will
take out iron rust. Where fabric that
is too delicate to be put in the wash
tub receives blood stains wetting well
with lukewarm water and rubbing
firmly with clean cloth will dissipate
the stains If persisted in.

GEMS IN VERSE
My Mother.

She gave the best years of her life
With joy for me.
And robbed herself with loving heart,
Unstintingly.
For me with willing hands she toiled
From day to day,
For me she prayed when headstrons
youth
Would have its way.
Her gentle arms, my cradle once,
Are weary now,
And time has set the seal Of care
Upon her brow
And, though no other eyes than mine
Their meaning trace,
read my history in the lines
OF her dear face;
And, mid his gems, who showers gifts
AS shining sands,
count her days as pearls that fall
From his kind hands.

-Four Great MuntcIap..

Palestrina was a revolutionist in his
day, but is now virtually obsolete even
for the severest classicists. Gluck was
as radical an innovator as Wagner,
yet it is only occasionally and with diff
ficulty that one of his works can now
be briefly resuscitated. Beethoven was
mailman even to many of the best
musicians as late as 1905, when, as
that musical veteran, Professor Haupt,
himself said, the Fifth Symphony"
was rehearsed in Berlin for the first
time, and the orchestra dashed the
music from the racks, declaring it was
crazy and could never be played. Now
this same Fifth Symphony" is consid-
cred model of form, and its composer
is the cherished idol of conservatives
and classicists.

How to clean Meerschaum Pipes

One who has beloved meerschaum
pipe may be glad to learn just how to
cleanse it in a very simple way with
out injuring the beautiful coloring,
which can only be produced by faithful
attention to my Lady Nicotine. Place
the pipe in shallow pan and cover it
with cold, sweet milk. Let the milk
come slowly to the boiling point over a
coal fire and then let it boil gently for
a few moments. This is said to be the
only method of cleansing meerschaum
pipe which will not at the same time
injure the coloring.

good idea to wet the sifted ashes on
top and also to add to the water a lib

ing of in the morning the salt makes it

MY Gentleman.

I own dog who is gentleman
BY birth most surely, since the creature
Boast of pedigree the like of which
Holds not Howard or a Metternich.
BY breeding. Since the walks Of life he
trod,
He never wagged an unkind tale abroad.
He never snubbed a nameless cur because
Without friend or credit card he was.
BY pride. He looks you squarely in the
face,
Unshrinking and without single trace
OF either diffidence or arrogant
Assertion such as upstairs often fiaunt.
BY tenderness. The littlest girl may tear
With absolute impunity his hair
And pinch his siken, flowing ears the
while
He smiles upon her-yes. I've seen him
smile.
BY loyalty. No truer friend than he
Has come to prove his friendships worth
to me-
He does not fear the master. knows no
fear
But loves the man who is his master
here.
By countenance If there be nobler eyes,
More full of honor and of honesties,
In finer head, on broader shoulders found.
Then have / never met the man or hound.
Here is the motto on my lifeboats log:
God grant may be worthy of my dog!"

Her New Vocabulary.

She possessed a mind discerning
That was stored and crammed will
learning.
And her thoughts, forever burning,
She could suitably express.
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded:
I was really quite astounded
AS I listened. l confess.
It was rather an infection,
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance of diction,
Each precise and polished phrase,
And the beautiful selection
OF the words and their connection
And her most correct infection
They were quite beyond all praise.
But / saw her very lately,
And she did not talk ornately;
ALL that language suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying: "Bessums diddumsl
Where de bad old pin got hiddums
In his muzzer's p'ecious kiddums!"
