EXPENSIVE TO STOP.

The railroad train is the bes, illus
tlation that has ever been found to
typify continuous advertising. A local
passenger train takes just about
twice as long to cover hundred miles
as an express train. Some people
think it travels more slowly, but
there is little difference in the actual
running speed. The time is lost in
making stops, slowing down and get
ting under way again. For this rea-
son spasmodic advertising consumes
twice as much energy as ontinuous
advertising. It may cost considerable
to continue the campaign, but 1t
costs more to stop for a season.

USES OF THE NEW
SCENTED SATCHETS.
Impart Delicate Perfume to Articles
Worn-Materials Liked.

The growing use of the sachet has
led to a greater number. of cases in
which women keep various parts OF
their wardrobe.
The cases. of course, are scented,
and some are eXqusitely embroidered
in designs that may be original with
the maker or conventional patterns
traced off. Materials used for these
cases range from linen to satin, but
many women prefer kind that can
be washed
Packing creases them SO. and cor
tinuOus haIdling necessary in putting
them into trunks and removing them,
makes them dingy, so that a silk or
satin ceases after time to look
fresh.
The DESIGNS taken from the Queen
suggest a great variety of patterns
that might be simplified or elaborated,
acordng to the cleverness of a wo
man with her needle and pencil.

Collie Outwits Terrier Foe.

A collie, owned by Professor w. f.
Durand, of Cornell University, slew
his enemy. a bull terrier belonging to
DR.. 1uzerne Colville. Il leading local
physician, in a name worthy Of a
keen-minded human murderer.
The dogs were among the most val
liable in the city. both being canine
years they had been foes, fighting
fiercely whenever they met. Usual
the collie was defeated.
To-day. as was his habit. the terrier
was racing with a street a about
Ithaca's noted loop when. at the
bridge over Fall Creek Gorge. he came
upon his foe. In an instant they were
fighting desperately. while several uni
versity professors hurried from a dis.
lance to part them. But relief came
too late.
Being on the point of defeat, the
collie broke away and ran to the edge
Of the gorge, at that point 100 fee,
deep. No n dared ton approach the
dangerous point. The terrier, however,
followed. whereupon tle collie circled
about him and then with a sudden
rush pushed his antagonist over the
edge, where he was dashed to death Oh
the rocks below.
With one downward glance the collie
trotted proudly away, head and tail
aloft.
DR.. Colville had the dogs body res
cued and buried.-New York Times.

Household Hints.

carpets should alwayshave the paper
lining underneath. 1t is pleasanter to
Tlk on, and saves much wear on the
cMrpet.
Aorders on a carpet are largely a
YIatter of taste. They should, however,
&c avoided on small or narrow ooms.
They contract the space, making it in
appearance smaller than it is, by un-
pleasantly defining the size and shape,
says The Household Ledger.
If the boards of a floor are not in too
bad condition, there are several ways
Of making it look quite we'll, and after
the first laboriOus work is bestowed, if
well done, the subsequent work of
keeping it nice will not be such hard
manual labor. First, have it thorough
ly we'll scraped and cleaned, and if pos
sible have a carpenter smooth Uneven
surfaces and chinks between the
boards. have them filled with putty or
plaster of paris. Newspapers wet and
worked to 4 pulp have been used for
the same purpose and given satisfac-
ton.
The next step is to stain it, rather
than paint it. The paint is Opaque and
the stain is transparent, does not oblit-
crate the grain of the wood, but simply
dyes it, giving it the appearance of
hard wood finish.
Stains come ready for use in any de-
sired color. In applying let the brush
follow the direction Of the grain. If
one application is insufficient to pro-
duce a satisfactory result, when per-
fectly dry go over it again.
After thoroughly drying a stained
floor may be vanished, and two coats
will last a year.
Varnish darkens the floor, and some
times it is added to the stain before it
is applied.
A tin can of wax polish will last a
long time after the floor is once in good
condition. -.. .
