WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Go
The authorities of the war department
are not unduly exercised over the in
cident reported from Malolos, where
the constabulary is reported as having
been attacked 1t is presumed that
those who were implicated in the as
sault belong to a band of robbers in
the neighborhood, but that there is no
occasion for apprehension in regard to
an uprising of dissatisfied natives.
There is nothing in the reports from
General Wood to justify such a SEN
Sational theory. The fact that the
scene of the recent attack is compar-
atively near Manila is not considered
of any special significance, either
Malolos is near the heart of a noun
famous district, where dense forests
afford an admirable opportunity for the
hiding of such a band as must have
attacked the constabulary at that
place, which, by the way, was the
headquarters of Aguinaldo, and from
which he incontinently fled toward the
north until he was captured by Funs-
ton.

Betsy?"
"'Deed an tits. honey" was the reply.
'What Is its name?"
"Dat chile amt got no name yet

"Why, it must be five or six years
old. Surely it ought to have name at
that age" the lady said.
Aunt Betsy nodded.

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.

Its Origin One of the Uns0lved Enig-|
mas of the World.
The origin Of Egyptian civilization
has been the enigma of the world fOr|
the past twenty-five centuries. Pre-
senting no historic or even mythic in
fancy, it appears before the world all
once as a highly civilized and organic|
community centuries before Moses was
a boy. Upon this subject Renan says,I

about one and seven-eignths inches be-
tween the shirrings, making three and
three-quarter inches Of a pocket for
the hole to pass through.
Lace curtains hanging straight should
just clear the floor, and to adjust this
to q nicely we have found it good
plan to pin them so as to clear the
floor by about two inches (not more)
and then gently stretch them down this
distance.
To stretch them place an outspread
hand on each side Of the curtain and,
pressing the two palms together,
stretch gently, little at time, work
ing across the curtain from one side to
the other until it is the required length.
This must be done very carefully, and
If the curtain Is not found pliable
enough to stretch the required dis
lance pin it over again, allowing it to
be longer.
Narrow windows in large rooms may
be made to appear wider by making
the poles or cornice project at each side
and plating the curtain to cover part
of the wall at each side. The pole or
cornice should be placed high enough
in this case to entirely conceal the top
Of the wood trim, but in cases where 1t
is advisable to show the wood trim at
the top it should be shown also at the
outside.
Frilled curtains made up as sash cur
tains are very effective next to the
glass, but should be made of very soft
material that will drape easily and
gracefully. Sash curtains, lace cur
tains or overcurtains should be plated
to the exact width Of the space they
are to cover, sufficient pins being used
to dispose Of all the fullness and hold
the top edge of the curtain from sag
ging between the pins. This may seem
a small thing, but to those accustomed
to neatness the sloppy droop Of the top
edge of a curtain from pin to pin Is ex-
tremely distasteful and would spoil an
otherwise neat arrangement.

TO HANG CURTAINS.
How Good Effects May he Secured b.
q Little Care.

How Good Effects May He Secured b.
. Little Care.
As,many a woman Is puzzled to know
how to hang her curtains, the advice
of the Upholsterer on this point may be
helpful. 1t says among other things:
II sash curtains are used it Is usually
a good plan to hang the long curtains
80 as to be the opposite Of the sash cur
tains-that is, If the sash curtains hang
straight loop the long curtains, and
vice versa. In this way the treatment
will balance and a neutral effect be OBJ
tanned Bear in mind also in this con-
nection that long curtains hanging
straight reduce the width and increase
the height Of the window, while cur
tains looped or caught up with a ro-
settle reduce the height and increase the
width.
Curtains reaching only to the sill or
Just below it have tendency to short
en- the window, and If Topped or draped
this effect Is increased.
Sash curtains, panels or any 9TH
er style Of glass curtains are hung
with the right side Of the goods to the
glass unless the windows are so far re-
moved from ordinary vision that It is
impossible to discern the difference.
Long lace curtains are hung with the
right side to the room where sash cur
tains are used; to the reverse way
when hung alone, subject to the above
proviso in reference to the difference
being perceptible from without.
Lace curtains may be shirred on to
the pole or rod by making a double
hem at the top, the distance between
the two stitchings being a little less
than twice the diameter Of the pole to
allow for shrinkage. Thus for a one
inch pole, which would measure loose
~ three and one-eighth inches in cir
eumference. you would require to allow

Davidson as a Compromise.
