First, keep it vet; second, haul
clay on to it; third, sprinkle it
with crude oil, as they do Cali

Hints for Home Dire S S
makers.
Written for THE CIrIzENl

Rather than trust to a poor
chart. it would be well to have a
first class modiSte cut and fit a
lining for you, and you will have
a reliable guide for future work
but do not forget to mark the
right and left sides when cutting
a pattern from the lining az they
are probably slightly different.
If it is necessary to lengthen or
shorten the sleeve pattern, do it
equally at top and bottom, SO that
the elbow may remain in its
proper place. In making a wooden
waist if there is any difficulty in
getting the seams properly press
ed, pin cloth over the brown
handle and slip IN the sleeve, and
the seams can be pressed smooth
with very little trouble. or better
still, split a rolling pin in two.
cover it with a soft cloth, and
use it for sleeve and other such
difficult parts that cannot he
pressed smooth over the ironing
board. Before using thread in
making up cotton fabrics it is
well to soak the SpoolS over night
in a glassiul Of water, then stand
them where they will be perfectly
dry, and the thread will not
shrink and draw the seams. You
can shrink and set the color both
at the same time in cotton fab
Tics by pouring boiling brine over
the pieces and allowing them to
stand until cold, and if they are
carefully hung over the line they
will need very little pressing.
In stitching up bias seams in
gingbam or other wash fabrics
these will be best sustained by
backing them with a narrow
strip of the same material.
W hen making buttonholes in
children's clothing it is advisable
to stay or bar them before they
are worked, aud certainly a little
trouble before hand is much
better than to have the button
holes pull out after the garment
is worn few times. The best
way TO strengthen a buttonhole
is to mark the place where it is
to be cut. then lay a strong
thread around the place and
fasten it down by bringing tue
needle up through the fabric on
one side OF the thread and then
putting it down on the other, and
these stitches should Oe quite
close together, and when you
have gone entirely around the
thread, cut the buttonhole and
work in the usual way. A black
WOODEN dress skirt can be cleaned
so that it will look like new by
upping and bnshing the pieces
carefully and then sponging on
both sides with a fluid composed
al one fourth put ammonia, same
of OK gail and one pint of soft
water. a rusty, black skirt that
was not sufficiently freShened by
cleaning was recolored "a jet black
by dipping in Diamond Dyes for
wool aud a faded blue skirt was
renewed by coloring a rich dark
blue and the goods was so care
fully pressed that it looked like
new, and proper pressing and
neat finishing is essential to good
results in all dress making.

SUNDAY MARKETS.

They Were Held In En8lanA Even
Before the Conquest.
According to the Domesday book. a
Sunday market was held at St Ger
mans, Cornwall, oven before the con-
quest. though 4 was soon rendered Of
little value owing to the esta ablshing
Of another on an adjacent piece Of
ground BY the ConQusror's half broth
er.
From the conquest right on to the
time of Henry VII. and In a few cases
longer these Sunday markets were
common. We find records Of them at
Bradford, Worcester, Battle, Launce-
ston and parts Of Durham, Lancashire
and Lincolnshire.
Launceston in 1905 gave King John
8 marks for license to change the day
to Thursday. Battle did pretty much
the same thing. Despite an act OF par
lament in 1449 abolishing them some
dlsregapled the act and continued Sun
day fairs until 1900.
In Wigton, Cumberland, the butchers
on Sunday did roaring trade close to
the church doors. It was no uncommon
thing for worshiperS to bring their
joints to church with them and hang
them over the pew fronts. The priest,
unable to stop the custom, posted to
London and got the market day
changed to Tuesday.-London Mail.

MAGIC IN TIBET.

Feats Of the Wonder Workers OF the
Land of Mystery.
India and neighbor1ng countries are
the home Of mystery and the black
arts. Even in the centers Of civiliza-
ton there are fortune tellers and Won
der workers to whom supernatural
powers are attributed by those who
scorn superstitious belief. Says writ
er: ''Tibetan peddlers have affirmed
over and over again that. living in the
mountains near the city Of Lassa, there
are men possessing extraordinary pow
ers, distinct from and far higher than
the ordinary lamas.
These men cure the sick by giving
them rice to eat which they crush out
Of the paddy with their hands They
perform many other remarkable feats.
We are told that young Bengah in
1882 testified before a number OF re-
spectacle witnesses that while travel
ing in Tibet in the nelghborhood OF
the lake of Manasarawara, he met one
Of these men accompanied by num-
Der Of chelas, or pupils. The master
saluted him and, finding that he had
nothing to eat, gave him some ground
grain and tea.

How SpOnxes Are Prepared.

Sponges are prepared for export in
the following manner: After being
bought in the local market they are
carted to the shipping yard Of the pur
chaser, where they are cut and trimmed
into proper shapes and sizes. They are
then washed and thoroughly dried, be-
ing generally spread in the sun for that
purpose upon canvas or old sails. Next
they are assorted according to varie-
ties and then packed by means Of hand
presses into bales weighing from 20 to
100 pounds. Sometimes the sponges
are bleached by being passed through
solution of white lime and water so
weak as not to injure the fiber of the
sponge.
