Keeping Up Appearances.

You will see plenty of women who
will look smart for few weeks each
season and then degenerate into
dowdiness. 1t is because they do not
take good care of their clothing and
its freshness lasts only short time
Sometimes they are women who have
both time and money, but are lack
ing in good habits and for them no
excuse can be found. A tired body
and very little spare time will re-
ceive pardon for many omissions of
duty, but, truth to tell, not among
such surroundings do we find untidi-
ness as a general thing. Business
women are compelled to keep up ap-
pearances, sometimes by the rules of
the house which commands their
services and always by the knowledge
that pleasing appearance is Of finan-
cial advantage to them in any em-
ployment.

Senate Will Continue Consideration of
y 1t Until Disposed OF.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Republi-
can senators held a caucus yesterday
and decided to have the senate con-
tinue consideration of the Panama
Canal treaty today and on future DAYS
until the treaty shall be disposed f..
This result was reached after an hour
and half of discussion on the legisla-
i've situation in the senate. The con-
clusion reached was unanimous. The
understanding is that the statehood
Dill does not lose its advantageous DO
sition in the order of business when
the senate is in Legislative session. The
Republican supporters of the statehood
Dill agree not to antagonize a motion
for an executive session to consider
the canal treaty, nor to make any OBJ
lection to the prolongation of such ses-
sions to any extent necessary to secure
ratification.
Consequently when adjournment was
reached the announcement was made
that after the close of the routine busi-
ness Senator Quay should move to go
into executive session and that none
II the Republicans should oppose the
motion, and that consideration of the

SOLE MATCH SCRATCHER.
An Appropriate Gift for One of thu
Sterner Sex Who Is Addicted to
the Smoking Habit.

How convenient the sole of ones
shoe has many times proved for
striking match. The idea has been
adopted for a scratcher that would
make nice gift for one of the
sterner sex.
For the foundation use wildwood
and brown in the decorations if one
has Topographic talent. If not stiff
cardboard, mat board or cartridge
paper will do. a color that will con-
trast with the sandpaper will be
most effective.
Cut the sole of sandpaper, and to
make 1T more realistic build up the
heel with several thicknesses of card
board, having the top lift of sand
paper. Make the nail heads and shad-

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
An Accomplis n meme That LIS Also
IuteIy Essential to secure N Gem
timely Happy Home.

Good housekeeping is absolutely es-
sential to secure a well ordered and
happy home. Housekeeping must be
acquired by practice, study and expert
ment, but the young and inexperienced
housekeeper generally reaches success
only through great tribulation. 1t
ought to be absorbed in girlhood, by
easy lessons, taken between school
studies. If girls were taught to take
as much genuine pride in busting n
room well, hanging a curtain graceful
ly, or broiling a steak to a nicely as
they feel when they have mastered
one of MoZart's or Beethoven's grand
symphonies, there would be fewer
complaining husbands and unhappy
wives.
The great lesson TO learn is that work
we'll done is robbed of its curse. The
woman who is satisfied only with the
highest perfection in her work drops
the drudge and becomes the artist.
There is no dignity in sighted work;
but TO the artist, o matter how hum
bic his calling, belongs the honor which
is inseparable from all mans struggles
after perfection. No mother who has
the happiness of her daughter at heart
Will neglect to teach her first the du-
ties of the household, and no daugh-
ter who asPires to be queen at home,
and in her circle of friends, can afford
to remain ignorant of the smallest de-
talls that contribute to the comfort.
the peace, and attractiveness of home.
There is no luck in housekeeping;
everything works by exact rule; and
even with thorough knowledge, eter-
nal vigilance is the price of success.
There must be place for everything
and everything in its place, a time for
everything and everything in its time;
and patience, patience" must be
written in glowing capitals all over the
walls. The reward ia sure. The hus-
band may admire his wife's grace and
ease in society, her wit, her ornament
al accomplishments, but all in perfec-
ton will not atone for a ill-ordered
kitchen, indigestible bread, muddy cof-
fee, tough meats, unpalatable vegeta-
oles, soggy pastry and the whole train
of horrors that result from bad house
keeping. On the other hand, success
wins gratitude and attachment in the
home circle and adds luster to the most
brilliant intellectual accomplishments

GAVE LIFE TO SAVE coMRApE

Trying to Rescue Companion.
Lancaster, Pa. FEB. 17.-Moses KEEL
Ter, aged 40 years, gave up his life yes
terday afternoon in a brave attempt to
save companion from asphyxiation in
an oil tank. David Lindemau had en-
tered the tank, which he was emptying
to sweep out oil that had failed to run
OF. Ordinarily this was a safe pro-
cedure, but yesterday the heavy atmos-
phere confined the poisonous gases
which usually evaporated. Lindeman
was overcome and fell unconscious
Seeing Lindeman's predicament, Keller
bravely dropped through the manhole
OF the tank to the rescue. refusing to
take the precaution urged upon him of
tying a rope about himself, shouting
there was no time to be lost. Keller,
too, was overcome. Several fellow
workmen were rendered unconscious
by the fumes that escaped through the
manhole in attempting to reach the
men in the tank. BY means OF hooks
both were finally dragged out, but KEEL
Ter was dead. Lindeman soon recoV-
cred.
