Decorative Crude Materials.


The various forms of work which
have taken for themselves the modest
name of handicraft have demonstrated
lin striking way the immense posi-
Utilities for decorative purposes which
lie hidden In the crudest materials.
|Burlap Is only Il development of bag
: ging, and many another SO called art
material" is nothing more than a stuif
of homely origin, says an exchange.
Yet for their purposes these ruder
stuffs have in them a certain style that
the more finely woven stuffs utterly
lack. The coarsest crash made can be
turned into the most artistic sort Of
hangings by stenciling, while a deli
cate silk stuff, though it might be pret-
tily stenciled, would be utterly lacking
In character.
Table covers and couch covers are
made of rough bagging, treated In
bolder way, of course, like the delicate
Mexican drawn work, the same spider
webs and butterflies woven of threads
in the open corners left, while threads
that cross are drawn. That same bag
ging can be stenciled or motifs of 1t
in colors may be appliqued into it, each
part of the figure outlined with heavy
thread-not unlike a sort of gloritied
twine.

Start finding out the cost of food.
Learn the cuts of the joints also when
certain items of diet such as game, fish,
etc. are In season. Then study cooking.
Even though your lovers income may
be sufficient to provide a reliable sery-
ant or servants, you should, neverthe-
less, know thoroughly how everything
should be cooked. Then, in tie matter
of housewerk, master all its details. Do
not imagine that because you will not
have to sweep rooms, clean silver and
burnish brass you need know nothing
of such work. on the contrary, you
should be proficient In every housewife

CHILD FALLS IN OCEAN
The Rescue is made by Howard
COrsey from the Casino Pier

The boardwalk was crowded with
visitors and residents at about eleven
O'Clock Sunday morning, when a cry
went up that child had fallen from
the Casino pier into the ocean. No
sooner did Howard Corsey, a student
at Amherst college, who is sojourning
in Wildwood, hear of the accident
than he jumped from the pier and
rescued the little one from what would
have been sure death, had it not been
for the prompt action of Mr.. Corsey.
The child, three years of age, was
spending the day with its grandparents
who reside in Philadelphia, but wete
with the Sunday excursionists to this
place. In some manner the little one
wandered from the sight of its grand
parents and at moment when it was
unobserved, had gone so near the end
of the pier that it fell, with the above
result.
The child was taken to the residence
of Charles b. Lowe, where it was sup
piled with dry clothing, and after rest
ing for little time was none the wor4t
for its narrow escape from drowning
A representative of the JOURNAL
called at the residence of Mr.. Lowe, but
the grandparents of the child wer,
very reicent about furnishing infor-
nation and the names of the parties
were not learned, even being unknown
to the people who had 80 kindly Offered
them their home.

MISS LILLIAN MUSGAT.
i Fashion Artist Whose Work Brings
Her Princely Income.

Miss Lillian Musgat of Chicago en-
joys the triple distinction of being the
hardest working young woman in the
world, of earning more money than
my other woman commercial artist In

earned by any of her rivals among the
sterner sex--and of having worked her
self up within six years from nothing

Only twentyfour years of age, she
learned to draw fashion pictures in an

Absolute cleanliness Is one OF the most
important things to consider. The In
fants eyes should be bathel two OF
three times, Il day and dried with a
very soft fine towel or han ,kerchief.
If, as Is sometimes the case. the eye
lids get incrusted from cold or other
causes, great care is needed to prevent
the lashes being pulled out when the
matter is removed. The proper course
to pursue Is to bathe the eye with luke
warm milk and water and afterward
apply a very little pure vasellne to the
edge of the upper lid.

a statement relating TO the recent re-

MY attention, of course. has Deen

to say IL few words in reply.
in the public attention which of

rectpd toward the affairs of a few of
the large life insurance companies, l
think the fact has rather been over
looked that this department is equally
charged with the examination and SUI

companies in all. operating under sep
arate and different provisions of law.
During my term of office there has
been no Insolvency or default resulting
in loss to the policy holders, except in
the Ease of one comparatively small
fire insurance company, where there
was Il loss to policy holders of some %
per cent of the unearned premiums,
and during the recent scandals no well
informed person has doubted the entire
s%olvency of the companies most con-
ccrned to meet all of their liabilities to
policy holders.
Beyond the limits mentioned | do
not believe that it has been the theory
or expectation that this department

LEGISLATURE
ON LAST RUN
Session Tonight When the As.
sembIy Begins the Home
stretch for the Term.

TRENTON, Feb. 2G.--Lawmaking
viii lie resumed tonight by the legis-
lature for the eighth week of the SEES
sion. Both houses will meet at 8
o'clock. With the beginning of the
work this evening it may be said that
the houses will enter the home stretch
and buckle down to hard work for the
race to the finish.
This session has been featured by
the fact that practically all the most
imnortant bills have been introduced
early. and the hearings on them have
been gotten out of the way with dis
match. So while there has been no
unusual rush in the passage of bills
in reality the legislature is further
advanced at this time than many of
it's predecessors were at the end of
the seventh week. This view was
taken yeste, day by Senator Hutchin-
son, of this city, who thought, unless
something unforeseen should crop
out. the session should wind up it's
affairs in good time.
The passage last week by the house
of the Perkins railroad taxation
was the beginning of the
skirmish on the big bills. 1t is deem
ed quite certain that the senate will
pass the bill quickly without further
amending it. This, however, will on
ly half complete the battle, for an
other bill VIII have to be put through
providing for a method of distribut-
ing the taxes after they have been col
lected from the railroads. This is
sure 70 provide a lively contest, espe-
cially in the assembly.
Local option will also lead to a
lively battle. The Miller local option
bill is still in committee in the house,
though the committee has agreed to
report it. This time the reporting,
however, has not been announced. A
member of the committee has stated
that it will be given to the house this
week, but others think it may not be
reported until later.
Limited franchises, the Frelinghuy-
sen automobile bill, the anti-election
frauds measures, the new military
bill and the Standard Oil investiga-
ton are all questions which will lead
to warm Skirmishes before the law
makers reach the sine die adjourn
ment.
