How to Keep Blouses From Slipping.

How to Keep BlOuses From Slipping.
When making blouses, to keep them
from slipping it is a good plan instead
of sewing the hooks and eyes on the
same to take piece of tape Of the
length required and sew hooks on it
strongly. Take another length of tape
to cover sewing on hooks and make
neat-and sew on top of bottom part
Of hooks where they have been sewed.
Then tack this hook tape on front or
back of the blouse SO that it can be
drawn out when sending to the wash,
and when the blouse is done up it can
be tackled on in a few seconds. This
hint saves breaking Of hooks and rust
ing, which destroys nearly all blouses.
A still better way is to haste them to
the skirt. 1t takes but moment and
Is safe and certain.

four States like Maryland and wash 'em down by drinking the Mississippi dry and could digest 'em without ever hav- ing the collie. Texas Is the empire State of the Union, without any Kaiser Bill for an Emperor. She is the chief est among 10000 and altogether lively, wild, reckless. She's the pebble on the beach. She's one of the old blue hens chickens. She's the cock of the walk and the Democrat of the world. She's a wolf, and it's her day to howl. Texas is bounded on the east by the al- ligators of Louisiana and huckleberry thickets of Arkansas. She Is bounded on the north by the tomahawk and the war-whoop of the red men. She is bounded on the west by the chile con carne of New Mexico and the hot tama- les of old Mexico. She Is bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mexico. and If it wasn't for that measly body of salty water she would extend beyond the South Pole.

pose they were afraid that some one would snatch the money if 1t fIuttered out from between leaves.
 Christmas came on Friday and 1t was the merriest Christmas ever had in my life. The merriest and tho saddest.
 This Is why it was the merriest.
 My publishers sent me a telegram that ran,
 First edition exhausted. Likewise our clerks. Have ordered an edition of 5000. Who did 1t?
 'Didd. Mode & O."
 And the reason why 1t was the sad dest was because I was sorry that the book had not been a Oetter one: but 1t must have had something in 1t to commend it or the first edition would have been the last and as those who follow book reports know, 1t went in- to the six best seller class inside of q month. and I was enabled to marry | and settle both down and up before the new year stopped being new. No one got the money and the lit- | erary periodicals deplored the taste that would advertise book ir that way. And then Didd. Mode published a disclaimer that advertised the book still more.
 But the queer part is yet to come. Christmas. afternoon, sought out that newspaper man--seeing he was a decent sort of chap and a bachelor, and lonely and I asked him to come around to my room. and I'd give him tho sequel of his story, and then wed so out together. It was a cold, snowy day. bully for rich people or those comfortably clad. but & little hard on the poor and on the way to my lodging we passed a Salvation Army pot that needed to be kept boiling and said:
 Say, lend me five dollars to chuck in here. because you've. brought me luck, I'm sure of it.''
 He said he didn't see the logic of the remark. but he was game and he chuckled in his last five and that left us without cent. But knew a man from whom I had never borrowed and it was Christmas and he has bowels because he was poor himself once.
 So we went around to my place and the newspaper chap cot down and pick ed up the book had first bought I had kept 1t just for sentiment.
 And do you know when he picked 1t up he turned to the page where that barnacle for minnacle slip occurred and theer was a i've hundred dollar bill!
 I don't know how I had missed 1t, but sat down and wrote a letter to Reggy up in New Hampshire with his old folks and then the newspaper chap and I went out to dine--not at Sher- | ry's because we wanted to be comfort | able, but at a little Italian joint on | the West Side and~-well. that was the l merriest Christmas lever had.
 And I've forgotten how much change | the waiter kept but he was happy | too

The Fly.

Lecture of Mir. H. Hill in London.
 The fiy's capacity for crime is ex- tended by it's strength, which is rela- lively nearly seven times that of a horse. for it can lift twenty times It's own weight. It can absorb enormous quantities of oxygen, and is in fact a confirmed oxygen toper.
 The represensible habit of walking upside down on the ceiling, to which the fly is addicted. is due to it's habit of exuding gum from each of the l. 200 hollow hairs in its feet
 The fly, too, has an evil eye, which Is divisible into several other eyes. It has also 1.700 or 1,so0 parts all con nected with the olft4ctory nerves, and therefore possesses complete equipment for detecting unsound meat such as is given to no other living creature.

THE NEW COTTON MILL.

Work on the mill building Of the
Neely Manufacturing company Is now
progressing satisfactorily, and every
thing is now in shape for rapid prog
ress. The foundations were laid last
week after the new style which sub
stitutes concrete for brick or stone
The foundation excavations are mere
ly filled with the concrete and this
hardening, which takes only a short
time, is said to be as good even as d.
mension stone.
A reservoir that is to hold 100000
gallons of water, Is also being con-
structed in a novel manner. A circu-
lar trench is being dug eighteen inches
wide and eight feet deep, leaving q
core Of solid earth in the centre. When
finished the trench will be filled with
concrete and after the concrete har-
dens, the earth will be dug out to the
bottom, which will be filled In and
leveled up with more concrete.
Building materials are being laid
on the grounds In large quantities
and within a few months more at the
longest, spindles will be humming
and turning out immense quantities OF
cotton yarns.

and has announced his intention to

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Easter does not come until April %
this year This is the latest date on
which the festival has fallen since 1885,
when 1t fef1 on April 25. the latest date
on which 1t can fall.
The overhauIins of the jail is sub
ject worthy of the most serious con-
sideration Of all responsible officials OF
York county. The subject involves
considerations Of health as much as Of
security, and the local board Of health
is fully warranted In looking into the
matter.
There 10 a widespread and growing
belief that the whisky sold by the dis
pensaries is outrageously adulterated,
and the effect on drinkers Is more OF
stupefaction than Of intoxication. 1t
is not unusual to find men who were
formerly fond of taking an occasional
drink of whisky for the pleasant ef-
fects Of the same; but who cannot be
induced to drin.aa whisky that comes
from the dispenssry. There Is wide
spread belief that even the so-called
standard case goods are not the same
in the South Carolina dispensary as on
competitive markets.
The change in the freight service
on the c. G. NV. railroad from daily
except Sunday to three times a week,
has thrown things badly out Of gear
between Chester and Gastonia. Here
tofore the northbound freight train
has been carrying mail to Glover in
time for the two rural routes out Of
that town to the great convent
ence Of the people to the east
and west. This service has now
been discontinued. The Glover people
now have freight every other day,
and they are very much dissatisfied
with such an arrangement. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that the railroad people
may see their way to improve the sit
uation.
The question of the extent to which
mental responsibility Is affected by
more or less intoxication, was being
discussed by several gentlemen In one
of the county offices the other day.
All had had more or less experience
and all agreed that so far as their per-
sonal experience went, no matter how
drunk they may have been, they could
remember everything that occurred
after they had gotten sober. But pres
entity one of the parties to the discus
sion suggested that he did not believe
that a man could drink the average
quality of whisky sold by the dispen-
sary and retain his faculties. The
others agreed with him, all expressing
the belief that the active principle
Of most dispensary whisky Is some
thing other than alcohol.
