EMBROIDERY REMNANTS.

Mothers with babies should never
destroy remnants of lace or embroid-
cry, especially insertion; or fine
white cloth such as India linen, Per-
sian lawn, nainsook and the like.
You will be surprised whatpretty Jokes
can be made for baby dresses from
such remnants. For example, sup
pose you have only three or four
inches of one kind of insertion; take
that for the centre of the yoke and
finish the yoke with some fine cloth,
nicely tucked If you have enough
insertion for two rows make the CEN
tire of the tucking-about four tiny
tucks; put row of insertion on each
side and finish as in the first instance
In these days when lace and embroid-
cry are combined, there are many
ways of utilizing the odds and ends.
Suppose you take fine embroidery for
the centre, then tucking each side,
then lace insertion and finish with
tucking. Many combinations will sug-
gest themselves to the woman who
wishes to economic. Ladies

TOLLS MOB, KILLS HIMSELF.
Grown Had Shot Sweetheart and Her
Mother, and Then Fled.

Altoona, Pa.-After killing the
girl he had been forbidden to court,
John Crown fatally wounded her
mother with second bullet and then,
having fallen exhausted at the end of
a two-mile pursuit, shot himself to
cheat a mob of would-be lynchers.
Crown came from England two
months ago and took quarters with
Mrs. Harriet Nevlin and her daugh-
ter Jennie at Sandy Ridge, two miles
from here. For his unwelcome atten-
tions to the girl he was turned out
of the house.
Crown returned to the cottage aud
called for the girl. She would not
see him, and, forcing his way into
the house, he found her in her bed
room and shot her through the heart.
Mrs. Nevlin grappled with the MUIR
derer, and he put second bullet
through her lungs.
Outside, attracted by the shots, a
crowd of brickmakers had gathered.
Crown dashed through their ranks
and into the woods. When escape
was impossible, he fired the last bull
let through his own heart.

EXPLOSION ON 4 WARsHIP
Many Japanese Meet Death on
the Kashinla.
Blast Took Place Inside Shield OF
starboard 1O-Inch Gun, Badly
Damaging Ship.

Toxic. AN explosion aboard the
japanese warship Kashima killed five
officers and twenty-five men and six
teen others are seriously wounded.
The catastrophe occurred after target
practice near Kure, at four o'clock
in the afternoon.
The cause of the explosion is un-
der investigation. It occurred inside
of the shield Of the starboard after
ten-inch gun. 1t was not the shell
which exploded, but powder, which
evidently caught FIRE from the gas
emitted from the breech when opened
for the purpose of reloading the gun.
The hull of the Kashima is not
damaged.
The Kashima, in command of Cap
tain Kolzumi. reached Kure two
hours later, where the wounded were
placed in the hospital.
The Kashima is battle ship of
16,400 tons, built in England and
completed in 1906 She is 425 feet
long, heavily armored, mounts four
twelve-inch guns, four ten-inch and
twelve six-inch and a number of
smaller rapid-fire guns, and carries a
crew of $50 officers and men. Her
speed is estimated at more than nine
teen knots. She is sister ship Of
the Gatori, also built in England
Outside of the disasters to Japan
csc war vessels during the war with
Russia, the sinking of Admiral Togo's
flagship; the Mikasa, this is the most
serious disaster which has befallen
the navy of Japan. The Mikasa sank
September IL, 1905, at Sasebo, after
a mysterious explosion had occurred
on board of her, the general opinion
being that it was the result of spon-
taneous combustion, due to the de-
composition of explosives in the mag
azine. Two hundred and fifty-six
were killed or missing and $40 in
jured. Admiral Togo was not on
board at the time.
The explosion on board the Ka-
shima recalls the disaster of July Is
last on board the United States battle
ship Georgia, off Provincetown, Mass,
when nine men, including Lieutenant
Caspar Goodrich and Midshipman
Faulkner Goldthwaite, were killed,
and thirteen were injured by an ex-
plosion in the after turret of that

ENGLAND BADLY FED,
SAYS CRICHTON-BROWNE
Eminent Physician DsnOuRces
Craze For Getting Thin.
DRIVES MANY TO sTIMuLAhTs
In Dread of Being Suspected Of Glut-
tony People Only Indulge Their
Healthy Appetites in Secret
Demand For Liquor Sweets


London, England. - Sir James
Crichton-Browne, in delivering the
presidential address at the annual
meeting of the Sanitary Inspectors
Association at Llandudno, referred to
the English meat supply and urged
Inc assolition of private slaughter
houses and the providing of public
abattoirs and central office for meat
inspection. Then people no longer
would find prize Christmas fat beef
absolutely filled with generalized tu-
berculosis. He added:
IF Chicago has its jungle London
has its dismal swamp"
That the public would not protect
itself, Sir James said, was proved by
the fact that certain American
brand of jam, advertised as the finest
raspberry, bears on its label the gem
erous impression: This jam is made
of glucose, with artificial seeds and
is colored with harmless aniline
dyes. This candor is rewarded by
a large sale.
In another part of his address the
eminent physician denounced what
he described as the prevalent craze
for getting thin. All the fashionable
food fads, follies of the hour, he said,
were in the nature of deprivation
At one time the tendency was to stuff
and every new nutriment was hailed
as boon to humanity.
Now the pendulum had swung to
the other extreme. Aldermen are
like laths and citizens train down as
for athletic sports. Only duodecimo
portions are served at dinners. On
all hands the cry is that we eat too
much. So fierce in some quarters is
the propaganda of dietetic ascetism
that in dread of being suspected of
gluttony people only indulge their
healthy appetite in secret
This craze, added Sir James, was
producing debility which sufferers
therefrom were seeking to combat by
indulgence in alcohol and narcotics.
There was great consumption of
liquor sweets things which con-
tained in sugar or chocolate casing
rum, gin and liquors.
The surreptitious consumption of
drugs, too, seemed for the same rea-
son to be growing. Chloroform and
other intoxicating drugs were being
incorporated in lozenges, which were
particularly favored by women, who
found that thereby they were able to
obtain the obfuscation they desired.

and the cuffs omitted, leaving a per-
fectly plain coat sleeve. There are
pockets that are both smart and CON
venient, and the little coat is one al
together to be commended from
every point of view.
The coat is made with fronts and
side-fronts, side-backs and under-arm
cores. The fiat Tuxedo collar finishes
the neck and the pockets are inserted.
The sleeves are made in two pieces
each and are laid in pleats at the
shoulders.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards

AS matter of fact, the Second
Empire coat is responsible for the
curious "piebald'' appearance of some
of the smartest afternoon costumes.
In some cases it is made of rose or
carnation-patterned cretonne, and
worn over a skirt of cream lace or
mousseline de sole, while in other
eases definite two-color scheme is
chosen, and the quaint coatee of Gin

TO KEEP BUTTERMrLK FRESH.

While visiting at a farmhouse not
long ago [ observed that my friend
always had nice fresh buttermilk to-
use, and l was consumed with curl
osity until found out how she did it.
Having but little milk at this time,
the Cummings came several days
apart, therefore every drop of the
buttermilk was eonscientiously
poured into large earthern pitcher
and to it was added a pint or more
of cold water.
Whenever she wanted any of the
milk she simply poured off the water
(Which always remains at the top) !,
and afterwards she again covered the
remainder with cold water. !,
And the biscuits that she made!
And the shortcakes! They were de-
licious, even without the honey which
made them still more delectable.-

is done the other cleaning need not
be SO thorough. A room at time in

ADVOCATES STATE OWNERSHIP.
Lord Brassey Says Railways Should
Belong to Public.


Liverpool, England. -Presiding at
meeting of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce here Lord Brassey
appeared in a new role-that of an
advocate of the State ownership of
railroads.
He referred to the growing demand
that the railroads should be managed
solely in the interests of the public
service and not for the benefit of the
shareholders, and declared that if a
change of policy were seriously pro-
posed there could hardly be a doubt
that it would receive the support of
Parliament.
In Continental Europe, Lord Bras
sey added, where the railroads were
the property of the State, the re-
2quirements of the public were fully
considered and the results to the
Treasury were satisfactory, while in
Great Britain competition was car
ried to excess, an immense amount of
capital was wasted, shippers were dis
satisfied with the burdensome rates,
and the employees were disconnected
with their wages and hours of labor.
