SEWING HINTS.

When joining a bias piece Of material
20 a straight piece, always keep the
bias piece underneath, as this prevents
II from stretching.
Half worn sheets should be cut in
half lengthways, the selvages scanned
together and the newly cut edges hem
med. This considerably lengthens their
lease of life.
When sewing a thin material, such as
chiffon, on the machine, place a piece Of
paper underneath the material. 1t will
prevent # puckering and can be easily
removed afterward.
To avoid marking velvet when sew
ing It, lay another piece face downward
to rest your fingers on, and you will
find when you have finished sewing
that the pile will not be hattened.
ButtOnholes on shirts should be stitch
ed round with strong cotton just out
side the buttonhole stitch while they
are new. If this is done they will last
almost as long as the shirt itself with
out tearing away.

The Smoothing Irons.

The state Of the irons has much to do
with the success Of the ironing. When
the irons show a tendency toward rust.
ing or black specks it is time that they
are washed in soapSuds. Dry them
carefully after this washing. Sandpa-
per is a good thing to have at hand
when irons become sticky with starch.
Rubbing an iron once or twice across
the sandpaper viii render it smooth
again. If the saRdpaper is lacking, dry
salt on piece Of paper viii answer
the same purpose. FIatirons should
not be left where the steam of cook.
ing can reach them, as that causes
them to rust. Always set the irons
away on end rather than fat on the
shelf. Those which have once been
to grow red hot never retain
the heat so well afterward.

ABOUT PUSH BALL.
How THIS Very Interesting Game Is
Played.

How THIS Very Interesting Game II
Played.
Push ball IS played on a gTidiron field
or floor 100 yards long by fifty wide,
with goal posts at either end twenty
feet apart and connected by cross
bar seven feet from the ground. The
mammoth ball, almost globular in
shape, should measure six feet in di-
ameter and weigh between forty-eight
and fifty pounds. 1t is usually inflated
with compressed air.
The bSll IS placed in the middle Of
the field. and the teams line up as fol,
lows; Five forwards on the forty yard
line, two left and two right wings on
the twenty yard line and two goal
keepers on the goal line, eleven men
each. At the sound Of the referees
whistle both sides plunge at full speed
Upon the ball, and then the fun begins.
X the ball is caught fairly between
the two human battering rams there is
a rebound from its elastic sides that
sends the players SPRAYING like ten
pins.
1t does not take long, however, for
the entire twenty-five men to get
around the sphere, put their shoulders
to the wheel, so to speak. and push for
every ounce of energy in them. The
heavier, stronger team will, of course,
have the advantage, but some trick
plays have been invented which lend
vEriety to the game and redeem It
from being featureless contest OF

A FAIR HEARING.

We hope the labor unions will accept
the suggestion Of Governor Goodiug OF
Idaho and send delegation Of their
own to find out just what the man or
chard has to confess" They could
then judge for themselves as to wheth-
er he can be considered truthful They
could also find out for themselves
whether his alleged confession was
forced from him by any unlawful
methods. These are points of i'm

to have the full light OF publicity
