THE RAILROADS AND THE
PRESIDENT.

Some of the railroads that oppose
President Roosevelt 'spolicy offreight
rate regulations are undertaking to
come back mt himOn account OF his
alleged demands for free special
trains, and to settle the matter and
to remove the embarrassment it has
been somewhat generally suggested
that the next Congress make an APP
preparation for the purchase OF a
presidential special train, and an ad-
ditional appropriation OF $4,000
annually to run the same. 1t strike
us that this proposition is eminently
fair aud proper. The President does
not, as a rule, take trips through the
country for his own pleasure, but
usually TO learn the needs of the sec
tions he visits or To add his influence
and presence TO some public enter
prise. These trips are exceedingly
costly. For instance, the proposed
trip of President Roosevelt through
theSouth will cost as much or more
than the salary the chief execu-
tive receives. and he is prohibited by
law from accepting free Transporter
ton.
1t is very evident, therefore, that
some arrangement ought tObe made
by Congress TO enable the President
TO perform this important part OF
his official duties without mourning
such heavy personal expense. In
deed, if there was no other cOnsld-
GRAFTON, the idea OF a government
special train ought to meet withpop-
ular approval IN order to leave the
President free from any obligations
to the railroad companies.

him to put a stop to all such fights in
the future in this city.

orchard of a few years ago is now al
most a thing OF the past, and Mr..
Coon stated this morning that he
would in the future devote his time
and money to developing some mines
he owns in the mountains adjacent to
that town. The gentleman will return
to Socorro tonight.

PATCHWORK.

At this season, when "shut ms" are
apt to find time hanging heavy on their
hands, suggestions for new kind Of
patchwork that possesses the advan-
tage Of covering both sides. wadding
and quilting, all ut the same time. Iaay
well be passed on for the beneil Of
those who do this kind OF work. -'he
directions, as sent in by Sunsi Inc
friend are: Cut pieces of silk about
four and one-half inches square. tern
and haste down each Of the four sizes,
leaving squares of four inches. T1en
fold them over diagonally, mai ing
three-cOrnered pieces; insert piect of
wadding the same size and shape. md
haste the edges together. -Four of
these triangles overhanded max. a
square block. The effect is good when
one triangle of each block is of blsc
one of white or some uniform color, and
the remaining two of any color. In
joining the blocks together the blocks
should be in corresponding position to
make regular pattern.
The bias lines of two Of the silk
pieces that go next each other gan
first be run together by hand or ma
'ctipe on the wrong side. and Uen
folded over. padded and basted. This
avoids having to overland the bias
sides. with danger of stretching.-I'h hill

HAIR AND ITS CARE.

The head and hair should he thor.
oughly clean or the locks will grow
scant and lifeless. Long hair should
be washed once n month, Oftener is
not necessary. Short hair may be
washed every week; it 'ries quickly
and no harm Is done. The use of soda,
borax or ammonia in washing is a
fault. They change the color. the roots
are injured and the fbres grow brittle
and lifeless. To remedy hair splitting.
the ends should be singed every six
weeks to seal up the brittle. hollow
tubes, and II the hair is uneven, roll
it in small twists and SINCE these the
entire length to catch nll ends.
A certain amount Of dandrun IL an
indication that the system is in a
healthy condition, and Is performing
its proper functions. The small, color
less particles that gather where the
roots of the hair end In soft pulp are
but the impurities thrown of from a
healthy skin. To prevent too great a
waste and an unpleasant amount of
dandruff, the head should be OCCASION
ally s.washed with solution of one
handful of salt in half a pint of rain
water. Rain-water is the most EN-
cacious tonic in the world and the best
soaps are tar and CASTLE. Applica-
tons of the salt water keep the hair
from falling out.
Too much use OF the comb at the
toilet is not desirable. as the scalp ia
tender and the sharp teeth of the comb
irritate It, Firm, steady strokes of
the brush are far better.
The use Of n hot iron on the hair is
injurious, though one moderately hot
may be used daily, with no other eff
feet than to give it soft gloss. A
fairly large brush should be used,
neither very hard nor soft. with bris-
ties long enough to go through the
hair; not over it. reaching to the skin
itself. and so invigorating the scalp
The hair should be divided in halves,
and brushed carefully and well for at
least ten minutes, night and morning.
Hair brushes may be cleaned by dip

HOW TO WASH LACE CURTAINS.

HOW TO WASH LACE CURTAINS.
The best method of washing lace cur
tains Ia perhaps the easist and the
following is good way to obtain good
results: Shake the dust from the lace
lay in clear, cold soft water for m
hour; wiring out and wash in warm
water in which a little soda has been
dissolved: wash in several waters, or
until perfectly clean; rinse in water
well blued; blue the boiled starch quite
deeply; dip in the curtains and squeeze,
but do not wiring them dry. Pin some
sheets down to the carpet in vacant,
airy room. and pin on the curtains
stretched to exactly the size they were
before being wet. In few hours they
will be dry and ready to hang.
The whole process of washing and
pinning down should occupy as little
time as possible, us lace will shrink
more than any other cotton material
when long wet. Or fasten them in
galvanized centre hooks, in which to
fasten the lace, and having holes and
wooden pins with which to vary the
length and breadth to suit the different
sizes of curtains. The curtains should
always be measured before being wet,
and stretched in the frames to that
size to prevent shrinking. Five or six
curtains of the same size may be put
in, one above the other, and all dried Mt
once. The frames may rest on four
chairs.-Newark Advertiser.
