The Proper Care Of Clothes.

After the walking dress has been re-
moved the skirt should be well brushed
and hung in the wardrobe on two hooks
by means of two loops. Or, better still,
fold it carefully in the seams, pin to-
gether at the band and suspend, SO
pinned, on the hooks. Some wardrobes
are now made with movable hangers.
which are very useful. Coats should al
ways be stretched upon hangers when
not in actual use. Stoles and boas,
whether OF feathers, chiffon or fur, are
always freshened up and benefited BY a
gentle shaking in front Of the fire after
wear on wet day. The feathers be-
come quite crisp again under such treat
ment, while the chiffon loses the
wrinkled. curled look that rain gives it,
and assumes it's normal fluflness.-Chi-

is trimmed In front with bands and
knots of velvet and the jabot is OF lace.
The other gown is Of champagne
colored wolfe. The skirt is composed Of
box-plaited breadths. alternating at the
top to little rounded tabs. The box
plated breadths are ornamented with
buttons and cords matching the gown.
The bolero-like bodice is gathered at
the top and again at the bottom, and
is trimmed with the cord, forming mo-
tits. The fronts of the blouse are fin
ished with revers Of white silk en-
broidered in delicate colors, and open
below over waistcoat of champagne
colored silk ornamented with cord, or
passementerie motifs to match. The
plastron is of white silk or linen and
the corslet girdle is of the material or
OF silk of the same shade.

rents evolving through 1t, has been
termed separator by the inventors
The separation, as stated above, is
obtained for currents OF alternate char
acter; in the particular case of either
Of them being telegraph current, the
frequency of which may range be-
tween rather extensive limits, 1t will
be necessary. In order to obtain the
separation, that the latter should have
a frequency included between the
above limits; otherwise the corre-
spending telegraphic frequencies would
be, as we'll, eliminated.
1t may. finally be understood, al
clearly shown by an analytical discuss
sion of the problem. that the separator
will eliminate not only the effects Of
current of one single frequency, but
those OF certain number Of frequen-
cies as well, all Of which are very near
the theoretical frequency. producing
perfect compensation. For frequencies
scarcely different from this theoretical
frequency the effects on the membrane
will. in fact, be very small. on account
Of the inertia Of the latter.
Ordinary telegraphic currents will
produce induced currents with free
quencies going as far Is shout 200
periods. Now, as the Brune- Turchi
separator is capable Of annihilating
the effects Of currents having frequen-
cies as high as 200 periods, II in any
circuit induced telephone currents
with frequencies Of the order above
stated and telegraphic currents (the
frequencies Of which, az is known, are
much superior to 200 periods) are
present at the same time, the separator
will annihilate the effects OF the for
mer, those of the latter remaining ac-
tive; in other words, the telegraphic
Transmission will in no way disturb
the telephone transmission.
The scheme of the arrangement
adopted by the inventors is sketched
in Fig. /. One OF the three windings
forming the coil r is inserted in series
with the telegraph line, one of the
other two windings being used for the
insertion Of the microphone M, the
other forming part of the separator
circuit. This circuit, as stated above,
is divided into two branches, INCLUDE
ing capacities G. and CT and an in
ductance, and terminating in two diff
ferential windings wound on an iron
core F., forming at the same time the
core OF third winding used for the
telephone T.

Of clay, which they modelled. then
baked. It is wonderful what skill anG
taste they showed. Many Of these
pipes have been found in burial
mounds Some show not alone GER
tain niceness of form, but testify to
the skill of those exercising the pot

BITS OF HOUSEHOLD LORE.
A Variety of Information Which May
Be Worth Retaining for
Future Use.

! Heat. exhaustion, says a trained
aurse, is very different thing from sun
| stroke. In fact, its symptoms are di-
rectly opposite from those of sun
! stroke. In heat exhaustion the skin is
| cold and clammy and the temperature
| is subnormal. The patient often loses
consciousness and looks deathly pale
The condition is not as serious as sun
| stroke, butsit Is dangerous and should
receive great care. If at any time dur
ing the hot season one feels weak, with
indistinct vision and disturbed mind; il
there is a ringing in the ears and sense
of prostration, it is time to stop work
and seek medical attention Aromatic
spirits of ammonia, teaspoonful in a
wineglass of hot water, is good remedy
to take before the doctor comes. Black
coffee is another good stimulant. A
cold wet cloth may be applied to the
aead and hot water bottle to the feet.

NEW JERSEY MANS DEVICE.
said to Secure Electricity Direct from
Coal Through the Use OF
Dynelectron.

In a recent issue Of Electricity there
anpeared an article taken from one OF
the daily papers describing an lnVen-
ton for generating electricity direct
from fuel. The inventor, a resident OF
Newark, N. J., is elated. as he deems
his invention perfected. This probe"
of obtaining power from coal, and DO
ing away with expensive and cumDe el7'l >
machinery, is one that inventors ana
scientists the world over have been LOT
years endeavoring to solve. whoever
accomplishes it successfully ana DE-
signs an apparatus that is practlcal Will
be the means Of revolutionizing the ex-
isting methods Of generating motlVe
power. But unless this Newark genius
has finally hit upon the proper csmDl-
nation of elements the problem Is 1ar
from solved. Thermopiles have been
brought out in the past, for which great
things were hoped and which to all ap-
pearances accomplished striking re-
suits in small way. When, however,
more was required Of them than tue
operation of an electric fan or a doorbeli,
fatal defects made their appearance.
The internal resistance was too great
and the alloys made use of became OK
idized The Newark inventor claims
the efficiency of his apparatus, which he
calls a dynelectron, is As per cent, as
compared to eight and one-half per cent.
when electric current is generated Dy
means of the steam engine. It is to
be hoped that the dynelectron will be
able to accomplish what the steam en-
CINE and dynamo now do not, but until
such is actually proved to be the case,
we are inclined to be rather skeptical
Of the ability of this new device.
