One of tie things not generally
known is the Partisan method Of clean
ing black silk. This method is simple
and the result very satisfactory. The
silk must he thoroughly brushed and
wiped with cloth, then laid fiat on a
board or table and well sponged with
hot coffee thoroughly freed from sedi-
ment by being strained through mus
lin. The silk is sponged on the side in
tended to show; it is allowed to become
partially dry and then ironed on the
wrong side. The coffee removes every
particle of grease without imparting to
1t either the shiny appearance or crac-
ky and papery stiffness obtained by
ammonia, beer or any other liquid.

SAD CASE OF STARVATION

Aged Sister and Brother Dead and An
other Brother In Serious Condition.
Philadelphia, Feb. 20.-A sad case
Of starvation and exposure, which re-
suited in two deaths, has been re-
vealed by the police of this city. The
police of Germantown, a suburb. were
called upon to investigate a mysterious
death on East Haines street. They
found Sarah Smith, aged GO years,
dead; Benjamin Smith. 40 years old,
a brother, dying, apd Louis Smith, Ga
years old another brother, I'm a serious
condition. The house they lived in was
a two-story frame affair. There was no
fire in the place, nor was there any
food to be found. Benjamin Smith was
removed to hospital, where he died,
and the other brother was taken to
the almshouse. A strange feature OF
the case is that the brothers had been
penSioned by their former employer.
and a balance was still standing t.

MINE DISASTER
IN ALABAMA
One Hundred ard Sixty Zen Met
Death in Explosion.
BODIES FRIGITFULLY MANGLED

Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 22.--Of the
100 miners of Virginia City who en-
tered the mine thus far only 90 bodies
have been recovered. The recovery al
ready of 80 dead bodies precludes any
idea that life may still remain among
the unlortunateS. With the first omi-
nous rumble of the coming catastro-
phe. by common impulse every one in
the village rushed to the mouth of the
main slope. The scenes at the mine
were the most narrowing that ever
have been witnessed in the mining sec
ton of Alabama. The corpses were
frightfully mangled and disfigured, and
identification is almost impossible.
Many of the bodies are so bruised.
twisted and discolored that negroes
cannot be told from white men.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
gas, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free
from gases.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning many
women and children whose relatives
were among the unfortunatss. One
hundred families and 300 children are
left destitute and without means OF
support by the calamity.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether a piece at time, are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on a rough improvised platform.
Since the list of dead probably will
go to 100, the local undertakers have
wired to adjoining cities for collins. as
it was found there were not enough
suitable collins in the district to bury
the victims.
Out of the so bodies recovered one
was found in which there were faint,
pickering signs of life. The body was
carefully taken from the mine and
heroic efforts resorted to to bring the
man to consciousness. He is still alive
but scant hope is held out for his re-
covery.
One of the most gruesome sights wit.
messed was mans head being carried
out OF the mine in a dinner basket. II
was found in this position, and the
flesh was almost entirely burned away
from the skull. Legs, arms and man
gled trunks were brought out in sue.
cession. After nightfall the entrance
to the mine was converted into yer.
liable chamber of horrors, the awful.
ness of which was intensified by the
pickering of the lamps as the feeble
rays fell upon the mangled and bleed
ing fragments of human flesh strewu
about the entrance.
Many stout-hearted men who had
been assisting in the work of rescue
were forced to give up the task. and
numerous PERSONS have f&.ateG ggcl

Several women became hysterical
others tainted, and still others had to

are identified a tag is placed upon
each and special ambulances convey
them to Bessemer.

How tn Bore Holes In Glass.

Ordinary glass not extra thick or
strong may have holes bored through
it by the following method: Press a
disk of wet clay upon the glass and
make hole through the clay of the
size desired so that the glass is laid
bare. Then pour molten lead into the
hole, and lead and glass will drop out
at once. This method is based upon the
quick local heating of the glass. where
by it sustains a circular crack, the out
line of which corresponds to the outline
OF the hole made in the clay.

How to- Clean Rraan

a lacquerer's recipe for cleaning brass
that has been successfully tried by an
experienced housewife is to put the
brass articles in a pan with sufficient
boiling water to cover them, first stir
ring in generous lump of soda and
enough soap to produce a strong lath-
er. Let the water reboil for q minute
or two after the brass has been put in,
see that the article is well rubbed with
the soapsuds, then lift into another
pan and pour clean boiling water over
1t. After sleeping for a couple of min
utes in this rinsing water take out and
dry carefully. No subsequent rubbing
or polishing. it is claimed, should be
necessary. This method is advocated
Tor all kinds of lacquered goods and is
also recommended for ormolu.

Chamberlain lay in a dying condition
at her home in Irish Valley, five miles
from here, having accidentally taken
an overdose of medicine. No doctor
was in the neighborhood; but as last
chance her parents called up various
drug stores by phone, and for two
hours a night clerk at one of them
directed the use of stimulants until
the patient finally recovered conscious
ness and was out Of danger.
