Turn Frequently to Give Equal Wear
and Keep Well Mended and
Free from Dust

The object OF Q two-part mattress is
to provide for the wear being evenly
distributed. so that there is no un-
comfortable depression upon one side
or end such as is caused by allowing
the mattress to stay for days at a
time In the same position. II YOU
nave one Of two parts, turn the square
over or around each day, letting the
smaller section be placed at the head
for awhile. then changed to the foot
and turned as religiously as the other
part
* your mattress is all In one piece.
turn 1t over each day. and pull il
around every two or three days, so
that 1t is not always the same side
OF top or bottom which is receiving
the brunt OF the wear.
Handles OF strong tape. or. better
still, of the binding of the seams. help
with the daily turning, and add to
the lasting qualities as well-pulling
al the sides OF mattress to get firm
hold may result in strained ticking
and in binding dragged away from the
seams. 1t is not a steady pull that
hurts, but the false strain caused by
taking hold OF surface which doesn't
yield handhold
Dust out the tufts every little while
with fairly. stiff brush-dust collects
in them almost miraculously.
Watch for the working Lose Of
tufts-nothing so tends to get a mat

Cut new tufts out OF old kid gloves,

Mend rip or tear as soon as II be-
comes apparent-with mattresses the
old saying of "a stitch in time" is
even more sure to save nine" than
with other forms OF mending. A place
that has caught on a loose wire from
the springs and torn into jagged
hole should have a bit OF the ticking
laid under, and the torn part hemmed
down strongly to the improvised
patch. And fix that loose wire as soon
as it makes its presence known.

ing a mattress clean. They are made
like great bag. either in two pieces
(allowing, Of course, for the blocked
edges) or with strip set between
upper and lower cover, following the
shape OF the mattress, although slight

tons and buttonholes, and are slipptl

Proper care of mattresses has an
other result besides that of increased
comfort, and that is in adding to the
life of the mattress.-Chicago Record

Ioss of a WhaIeback Barge.

The whalebsck barge Berkshire, Capt.
Alison Trudo, With all on board, was lost
by the whaleback steamer Bay State,
which had her in tow, at 4 o'clock Mon
dsy afternoon off the Virginia coast,
about 80 miles north of Cape Charles
Light, and nothing has since been seen
or heard of her.
The barge was bound to Newport
News from Lynn, Mass, in ballast.
After the barge parted her hawser the
Bay State attempted to get her in tow
again, but owing to the high seas and
terrific wind the steamer refused to obey
her helm, aud Captain Peterson, her
skipper, was compelled to proceed to
Newport News and leave the barge to
ito fate. Captain Peterson stated that
when he first ran into the storm, just
north of Winterquarter Light, the Berk-
shire broke loose, but was gotten in tow
again and made fast with wire cable
and hemp hswser snd the voyage con-
tinued.
A few hours later, however, both the
cable and hswser parted, and the barge
was soon lost to view.
The Berkshire is owned by the Boutellt
Steel Barge Company, of Boston, and IL
valued at $4,000. She was butt or

Daring Robbery.

A unique and daring robbery wa' com
mitted st Coepenick, q town seven miles
east of Berlin, yesterday afternoon.
The robber, 10 the Uniform OF captain
of the guards, met detachment OF "
men on street in Berlin, who were re-
turning from target pratice. He produced
a forged cabinet order anthorixing him
to take command. lhe men recognized
bis authority and he then ordered them
to march to CoepeDick. Upon arrival
there they proceeded TO the town hall,
arrested the burgomaster and the treas
urer aud took possession of the ca,h,
$l,00U. The robber detached several OF
his men to conduct the prisoners to
headquarters in Berlin, and ordered the
remainder TO hold possession of the town
hall for half an hour. He then rode of
alone in the direction Of Berlin with the
money. The bugomaster and the treasurer
were greaiely mystiied at the meaning
of their arrest. Upon their arrival in
custody at headquarters in Berlin they
learned that the ostensible captain was
fraud, and were Immediately discharged.
The bogus captain has not been heard
from, and the police aud military authori-
ties are without any clue whatever as to
his identity.

Typheon at Hong Kong.

steamers and sailing vessels wrecked or

swamped, turned over or battered to
pieces against the stone walls OF the
prsys, so per cent. of the lighters,

one of the few vessels to escape the dis
aster.
The Empress Of Japan but day be-
fore gave place at the Kowloon Com
psny's wharf to the steamer Chargsha,
which was entirely wrecked at ME dock.
Kowloon sustained the heaviest loss,
but all sections of Hong Kong and the
Hinterlsnd safIered. There were "a
Europeans among those killed; Others
were Chinese, mostly of the junk popula-
ton.
Bishop J. G. Hotter, bishop Of Hong
Kong, wss drowned. isjunk capsized
when be was bound on preaching yoy-
age to a fishing village.
The damage at Hong Kong and Kow-
loon and vicinity is estimated at over
$40, 900, 600. e.
The iunkmen usually make for shelter
when the warning gun is fired, but on
the morning of the storm the signal was
fred at $40 and at $50 the typhoon was
at its height. The junkmen skurried for
shelter, colliding with each other, cut
ting down yachts, houseboats, ETC., striv-
ing through the driving rain to reach
Csuseway Bay. Thousands were soon
thrown into the sea, dashed to fury with
waves 20 and 80 feet high. The wind
blew the junks around and sent them
swirling and twisting TO be dashed to
pieces against the praya, where hundreds
of junks and samapans were dashed to
match wood and the msngled bodies OF
the crews battered against the stone walls
within sight of those on shore powerless
to lend aid. The storm ceased as quick
ly a, it began. The sun shone then on
scenes of unparalleled destruction at
Hong Kong. This typhoon exceeded all
others experienced there in severity.
Hundreds of bodies were swept ashore
and the work Of carrying them away BY
carloads to impromptu morgues began
at once, corpses being photographed in
groups of eight and tagged for identif'
cation.
Hundreds of mangled bodies were
piled among the debris and the scenes
were sickening. 1t was evident soon
after the storm began that the shipping
would not ride it out, and vessel after
vessel dragged, swerved aud was driven
ashore, some being piled right among the
stately buildings which line Hong Kong's
sea front.
