NICE CURTAIN MATERIALS.
Numbers of Lovely Stuffs Are Now
offered for Inner Curtains-Va-
riety Given Below.

There are so many delightful cur
tain materials sold by the yard that a
tour through the shops will show how
much there is to choose from. Raw
silk, and china silk. challies. linen
taffetas. Singapore lattice, bloom lin
ems. serge and even turkey red can
all be used when plain materials
are Needed. Among figured materials
charming varieties ca ube found; ere
tonnes with their creamy grounds,
white glazed chintzes with their
strong designs of old-fashioned flowers,
linen tatletas with stencil floral effects,
madras in soft green's, with old rose

colors and designs must be selected
as there are many poor things shown
under this class OF goods.
All the materials mentioned can be
used for inner curtains, but they must
not be chosen haphazard. Inner cur

scented by H. delegates at the annual

of Ohio, the head of the organization,
presided. President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Taft. Assistant Secretary of War
Oliver, General George IL. Harries,
commanding the District of Columbia
national guard. and Senator Dick We're
among the speakers.
President Roosevelt spoke 10 the del
cgates in the east room of the White
House. He impressed upon them the
necessity of instructing their COM
mands in target practice and original
initiative as individual soldiers. Later
the delegates were introduced indlNld-
ually TO the president.
The president spoke as follows:
81 trust it is hardly necessary for me
to say what Il genuine pleasure it is TO
me to greet this organization. | have
been a member of the national guard
myself, and both at the time when |
was governor MS the present assistant
secretary of war can say and since l
have been president and wen when |

have always done all that in me lay to
further the interests of the national
guard.

but one of the things that are interest
ing me most at present. Sehato Dick
is the encouragement of rifle practice
in the national guard. | want to have
it understood. gentlemen, that | do not

BILE as soldiers in time of war. | ear
uestly hope that the national guard
and. Mr.. Taft, the regular army also,
especially the regular army, will more
and more have the kind of instruction
that will make it second nature for the
man who marches to march fully
equipped as he would be in time of
war.
1--WE have such Il small regular army
that you men of the national guard
have upon YOU IL heavy responsibility.
| want to say that. while it is incum-
bent upon you to take your duties serl-
ously and do them with all your heart,
If you do wen that You do more good
to the nation than any equal body Of

BIG WARSHIP
GOES DOW N.
Disaster to Brazilian Turret Ship
at JaCarepagua Over 200
Perish.

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 23.-The Brazil
ian turret ship Aquidaban has been
sunk at Port ~Jacarepagua, south of Rio
Janeiro, as the result of an explosion
on board.
-Four rear admirals persisted on board
the Aquidaban, which had oeen used
for the accommodation of a number OF
supernumerary officers and men at
tached to the fiotilla escorting the cruis-
er Barroso, having on board the minis
ter of marine and his staff, who We're
inspecting the sites proposed for u new
arsenal.
The cruiser Barroso has arrived here
from Port ~Jacarepagua with those in
jured by the explosion on the Aquida-
ban.
The A~quidaban blew up at 1915
o'clock at night. and nearly all the
officers were killed or injured. The
dead number 212 and the injured 80.
The following members of the com
mission which left the arsenal on board
the Aquidaban, accompanying the min
ister of marine, were drowned:
Rear Admiral Rodrigo Jose da Ro-
cha. Rear Admiral Francisco Calheiros
da Graca, Rear Admiral JoaO Candida
Brazil and Captain Alves de Larrigo.
The explosion on the Aquidaban oc-
Cured in the powder magazine. The
vessel sank in three minutes.
Among the other officers killed are
Alyes, Barros, Santos, Porto and Mario
Silva and also ;l,,eporter Of the formal
do Brazil, Francisco Nalente.
1t is asserted that the explosion was
caused by Il short circuited electrical
wire.
This disaster has caused a tremen-
dous sensation here. Immediately all
the theaters suspended their perform
ances, and the foreign legations and
consulates put their flags at half mast.
Ninety-eight persons were rescued
from the sinking vessel. The victims
will receive a national funeral.
The Aquidaban. which carried a COM
plement of 3SS men, went to the bot
tom once before. In August. 1894, she
was sunk in Santa Catherine bay after
being captured by the insurgents and
harassing the government for months.
She was subsequently raised and re-
built.
She was built in England in 1SS5-ST
at a cost of S1.125.000. On her sides she
had Il belt of composite armor eleven
inches thick. and her bulkheads and
heavy gun positions were protected by
ten inches of the same armoT.
The Aquidaban took part in the ma
val review in New York harbor Oh the
occasion of the Colombian celebration
and was one of the most picturesque
warshipS in the fleet. She was the only
battleship in the review. At that time
she was the prize ship of the Brazilian
navy.

ARE YOU VERY TIRED?
Simplify Daily Duties as Far as Pos.
sibIe for We We're Not Meant
to Overwork.

There is too much tiredness in the
world, especially among business
women.
Half the days work has to be done by
force Of the will. since there is not force
of body enough to carry them through.
Most women accept this as unayoid-
able. To be tired is normal, whether
one has charge of a baby or a type
writer. To tell them nature intended
back and burden to be in due proportions
does o help matters. They are too
tired to theorize.
To get up fresh and CHEEKY in the
morning, do your duties vigorously. with
energy 20 spare for a song and a smile
and lie down in the happy; wholesome
WEAKNESS of a well-spent day-that
surely was the original plan for our
days.
Are We never to get back to il?
Some say the way lies through gym
nasiums, others hunt for Don't Worry"
clubs and good resolutions. Still others
seek it by simplifying the daily duties
and throwing off the worlds compare
tive standards.
And the last are nearer TO reaching
the goal than any of the others Chi

MISCELLANEOUS.

Hearthstones. if painted with two
or three coats of white enamel, will
only require to be wiped with a damp
cloth when soiled.
Vanished paint can be kept looking
as bright as though freshly done by
soaking in water some time a rag
filled with fiaxseed, and then using it
as a cloth to clean the paint.
Never rinse white lace in blue wa
ter under the impression that this will
improve the color. Real lace should be
ny rinsed in skim milk, which will
give t the soft, creamy tint so much
admired.
When cleaning CRATES, add half a
dozen drops of ~turpentine to the black
lead, stir well. and a beautiful polish
will be the result when finished. It
also keeps stoves from rusting when
not in use.
A mixture. composed of equal parts
of t%urpentine and liDseed oil, will re-
move white marks on furniture caused
by water; rub it in with a soft rag
and wipe off with a perfectly clean
buster.
Iron rust on marble can be removed
by rubbing with lemon juice, An
other help for it and other stains, is
to mix one ounce Of finely powdered
chalk, one ounce of pumice stone and
two ounces of soda; mix with water
and rub the mixture over the stains
until they disappear.
An excellent polish for floors is
made of half a pound Of beeswax,
shaved, put into a gallipot and COW
cred with turpentine; stand by the fire
to dissolve. When using. put some
on a flannel, and afterward brush with
rather a stiff brush. such, for instance.
