Caring for Harness.

If the harness is very soiled and
stiff the best way Of getting it in
prime condition is to take it apart at
every place where it is fastened by
buckle and soaking it in water which
has been a trife warmed. Then take
a stiff brush, a small scrubbing brush
will answer the purpose, and scrub
each part of the harness thoroughly.
Then spread it out to dry and if any
portion is still sticky scrub it again.
To soften and preserve the leather
nothing is better than neats'-foot oil,
which is readily obtained. Apply a
small quantity to the harness and rub
it In thoroughly with the hand. In
the absence Of this oil use sweet oil.
After thoroughly oiltng see that each
buckle moves freely and that none Of
the stitches is broken at the seams.
Twice or three times a year of over
hauling the harness as suggested will
keep it in such condition that It will
last for years longer than when care
lessly treated.

When the information first

other cOrrOborating facts and cir
cumstances to indicate that the
prisoner was the assassin of the

aas The Governor rere'ved no re-

into harmony by either a jabot of lace at
the throat or a gathered or plated piece OF
lace set under the tails across the bottom
Where lace is used it is prettier to choose
piece of allover with slightly dotted pat
tern and have it plated finely instead OF
gathered. For everyday wear taffeta frilfs
put on in the same way with some little
chenille or gathered ribbon on the edge are
equally good. providing they are matched
accurately in color.
Autumn
And lamps are always closely associated
through the effort at cozy corners, and
the way some of the newer reading lights
and eiectroliers are made to fit into espe-
cial places Is little short of marvellous. A
new piano eleltrolier has low fiat circular
standard with a long curved arm that bends
down over the music, where the bulb is ad-
justed in a ball-bearing socket. The shade
Is also circular, in open work metal set
with panels of Opaque art glass. 80 that the
effect of this and the standard are of two
disks Joined together by the slender piece
Of curved metal. Another artistic little
bed room electrolier softly shades light
which In an emergency could perform the
work Of a burglars dark lantern In eff
feet it is a brass candlestick with a square
canopy shade which is swung on a couple
of hinges. 1t can-be drawn from one side
to the other like pendulum SO as to
flash the light upon any object, leaving
what is back of it in darkness. 1t will re
main stationary at any point
The most ingenious of these little con-
trivances is a tall lamp with a bell-shaped
standard. The standard has holes in the
bottom with which 1t can be hung to the
wall and when it is turned in this position
the light support, which is on hinges re-
mains upright while at the same time
standing out at right angles from the stand
ard. 1t is constructed SO cleverly that the
good line of the design is not iuterfered
with. either as a candelabra or an IN.
right.
One of the cleverest suggestions NAV be
taken for the house and the dining room
table from an exhibit of hanging electric
shades in store. Four bulbs are pendent
from the branches of a high center chaude-
Her, and are surmounted by small canopv
shades in grass cloth brilliantly decorat ted
with nasturtiums. These are edged with
crystal bead fringe. and the idea is at
once suggested that this is not only sim
pie arrangement of the lights, but that the
bead fringe used is delightful brought into
close contact with crystal vases or any
other glass decorations which one NAV

A 1apboard-
With a yard measure marked On the top
is a great convenience Set it up back of
the low sewing chair. but in easy reach.
From one arm of this chair hang small,
compact pincushion cramful of sharp,
clean pins and big-eyed basting needles.
From the other suspend small closed box
with a slit cut in the lid and the end Of a
reel of basting cotton pulled up through the
slit. Basting cotton has even more than the
thimbles knack of losing itself. 1t Is a
wary seamstress, indeed, who gets around
both. Small things, as yokes, straps, gus
sets and so on, have the same propensity.
The white sheet on the floor effectually
balks it. Further, it helps the eyes by diff
fusing and prolonging a soft equal light.
incidentally it saves the carpet or the
floor from lint and makes the occasional
brushing up much easier There are just
two more absolute sewing room require
ments-a covered wicker basket for scraps,
bundles and general odds and ends, and a
light but commodous waste basket.
The Great Thing
About hooks and eyes is to have them
match accurately. This may be achieved
by pinning the edges together, marking
them across with chalk at proper distances,
and take loose whip stitch from one
mark to another. Then pull the edges
apart and clip the stitch. leaving an end
each side. Another way Is to snip holes in
a strip of cambria, lay it on the wrong
side of each piece and brush loose chalk
