When the dressmaker comes to the
house make all possible preparations
for her before she arrives. Let her
find the gowns ripped apart, the cloth
sponged and pressed, silk cleaned, laces
for trimming freshened, and all new
materials bought and in the house.
Provide Innings, sewing silk, thread,
twist, whalebone, hooks and eyes, but
tons and braid, so that no time need
be wasted in sending for articles which
in their absence cause everything to
come to a standstill.
You can do the ripping at odd mo-
ments and thus accomplish a great
deal. YoN should have a roomy re-
ceptacle for all scraps. Either a trunk
or large drawer may be set aside for
pieces, or there should be several piece
bags, one for Innings, another for wash
goods, another for woolens, another
for silks and velvets. The remnants
of each kind and color should be made
into neat rolls, pinned or tied. Smaller
bags may hold buttons, hooks and
eyes, ETC., and thus save infinite time
and trouble. The habit of keeping but
tons from year to year is to be recon-
mended, as a set that has been worn

a wrapper.
Most women like to spend as much

receives, accomplishes more when she
has some one sewing with her than
when she is LETT alone.

NOVEL GRAVITY RAIL SYSTEM.


Particularly Adopted for Crossing
Rivers, Georges and the Like.
A novel railway system has been in
vented by Abraham Abelson of New
York City. This system is particularly
adapted for crossing rivers, gorges, ra-
vines and the like, says the Scientific
American, and is designed to effect an
economy over existing systems Of trans.
port2tion.
i consists of a tower at each an
chafage built of skeleton framework,
in She center Of which an elevator ope-
rates Cables are suspended from a
cradle at the tower top and anchored
naar the base of the opposite tower.
Piyoted colnterweights are provided.
which serve 10 keep the cable taut and
20 compensate for any variations III
liable lengths. These weights also re-
move the lateral pressure on the tow.
ers. producing instead a downward
pressure thereon.
The system does not require any ele,
waited approaches to the bridge en-
frances. The transporter cars are sus-
pended from swivel trucks. which trav-
el on the cables. In practice a car is
raised by means of the elevator TO the
top OF a tower, the trucks being turned
so as TO clear the cables. When the
top of the tower is reached the trucks
are turned back to normal position, SO
that on descent of the elevator they
will rest on the cables supporting the
car. The car thereupon descends by
gravity to the opposite tower The
cars are entirely independent Of each
other and the speed of the descending
car can be regulated at viii, thus af-
fording a saving of time over such sys-
TENS as employ tive counter balancing
cars.

Why Women Fail in Business.


The ambitious girl can overcome ey-

Reader. have had my ups and downs
and have learned that good rule to
follow is: If an undertaking fails take
your medicine like man and get
something of value out of the expert
ence.
Individuality is one of the most I'M
portant things for the up-to-date girl
to develop. 1t counts lot in crowd.
The idea of one sphere for man and
another for woman was always re
pulsive to me. A girl who is anxious
to get above the dead level of ordinary
work can command the attention OF
influential persons if she puts the trade
mark of her personality on all her
work.
When a girls employer appreciates
the fact that she can do certain KIND
OF work better than anybody else be-
cause she puts her heart IN it, expan-
sion has begun. The point is to get
somebody's eye by faithful effort. The
rest follows In a natural order. The
energy of President Roosevelt appeals
to me. It fits these times. 1t can be
acquired by men and women alike.
The young girl who decides to enter
upon business career must not think
that 1t is necessary to become mascu-
line in her manner.

On the morning of April 10 the Presi.
dent went into camp at Camp Roose,
welt, eighteen miles southwest of Fred.
erick, Okla John Alternately, a cele.
brated wolf-killer, with a pack of sixty
dogs and a procession of 100 horses,
made up the party which took the Presi-
dent to his camp. On the second day in
camp the President caught his first live
wolf. In two days the presidential party
killed twelve wolves.
The President stayed at the Oklahoma
camp until April 10, when a start was
made for Colorado, where bear and
mountain lions were coveted by the
President. The camp was pitched near
Glenwood Springs Colo.
On the 10Th the President landed his
first bear, a 600-pound cinnamon. He
could not use his rife and had to shoot
the animal with his revolver. From that
time on the Presidents time in camp
was taken up with long rides-sonetimes
he stayed ten and twelve hours in the
saddle-by walks and fierce fights with
bears and mountain lions. Often the
President fought the animals a the
ground, in almost hand-to-hand fights. In
one of these fights. Spot, one of his fav-
orite dogs, was killed.
On May 6 the presidential camp was
broken and the party went to Denver
From Denver the special train conveyed
the President and his friends to Chicago,
thence on to Washington.

Where Men Have II EASY.

In Paraguay the women are in pro
portion of seven to one as compared
with the men. The consequence is
that the men are taken the greatest
care Of and everything which is IN
pleasant or might be risky to the life
of a man is done by the women. The
streets are cleaned, ships are loaded,
oxen are driven by them, and it is
even said that they have taken part in
the country's wars, acting as substi-

To Stop Gossip.

Gossip is not so much the result Of
malicious thought as it is of no
thought at all. SO few realize what a
dangerous weapon we possess in our
tongues, and how much harm we do
from letting them thesghtlessly wag.
For instance, there are two words,
simple enough in themselves, that in
troduce untold trouble into the world
and are responsible for more harm
than any other two words in the Eng
lish language. These two little words
are nothing more than They say"
They have done more TO ruin reputa-
tons than any other thing,

use those words stop and ask who

Rest Sort of Man.

The average girl does not look for
an ideal man in these days, and for
this reason: She knows that he does
not exist; moreover, she is aware that,
even did he exist, and she had the
chance of capturing him, he would
not be practical; he would be a cut
above this very prosaic age. She pays
no heed either to the good looks, ex-
cept she be very young and inexperi-
enced, for she knows that the most
perfect face will not compensate for
a poor table, and she is cute enough
to understand that the good-looking
man is a poor hand at keeping the
larder full.
What your girl of to-day wants is
a man who can keep her in comfort,
in the first place; comfort in married
life, she believes, is really the most
important of all factors in making
marriage success. Naturally, then,
q girl looks out for a capable man;
either of business or professions; a
brainy type of man; one who shows
promise of being able to better him
self in the world.-Brown Book.
