WAYS OF MENDNG
RENTS SHOULD BE ATTENDED TO
AT ONCE.
rIme Saved and Better Job Done IT,
Delay In Necessary Work la
Notwithstanding Of Darns
When Finished.

Rents viii look much better when
mended if they are attended to at
once, tscause the longer they are left
the more ragged the edge becomes.
Lay che garment right side down
and put the edges Of the rent as close
together as possible; cut a piece Of
tissue rather larger than the space
that is torn and lay on the top.
Take a piece of thin wooden nate
rial the same size as the tissue and as
near the color of the cloth as possible;
lay that on top Of the tissue and when
placed exactly in the right position
iron with a hot iron until the patch
adheres to the garment The heat will
cause the tissue to dissolve, forming a
kind Of glue.
II the material is of light weight
goods it win be best 10 use a patch
Of the same, but if the material is
heavy, such as is used in mems suits
or coats, a lighter patch will be much
better
A clean cut In heavy material may
be mended by putting the two edges
firmly together and basting them to a
piece Of paper on the right side. This
work is done between the cloth.
Take thread and insert the needle
about three-eighths Of an inch from
the edge and carry It between the
cloth to about half an inch the other
side Of the cut and draw the thread
through; put the needle in where it
came out and carry it to the other
side about one-half an inch beyond the
edge in slightly slanting position.
Continue to do this until the whole
cut is darned. Be careful not to pull
too tight. Darn it in the same way in
the opposite direction.
1t is difficult to use this method of
mending if the edges are the least bit
frayed, and on thin materials it must
be done with the greatest care, using
the finest needle and thread possible
All darns should be pressed when
finished. To do this lay the right side
down on an ironing board and on the
wrong side lay damp cloth and press
with hot iron until perfectly dry

Mr. Corbett says that within very

hard proposition in the scarcity Of

Comparison Of War and Peace.

In the battle of Mukden between
the Russian and Japanese forces, the
Russian losses were said to amount to
about 10000 men. If you live In a
village cf $50 inhabitants. says the
Outlook. you ray be reasonably sure
that some fellow townsman Of yours
will be injured by a railroad during
the year.
If your town contains 1000 people.
1t Is mathematically certain that 20 OF
them win meet with an injury before
a year has passed, or that enough 9TH
en- injuries will be inflicted in other
parts Of the country to make up the
quota of your community.
If the freight train that passed you
the other day had crew Of nine men,
in nine years every one Of them will
have been injured; II not, then their
good fortune will have been gained at
the cost Of exceptional misfortune to
others.

SPEED LIMIT OF TRAINS.
Larger Locomotives Cannot Be Run
In Safety Faster Than Now.

"The big double compound engines
now used on railroads are the largest

This Is the cpinian Of W. M Cor

way, says the Kansas City Star.

smokestack barely clears the train
sheds at the union depot.
"That engine, exclusive OF its ten

him to surrender the weapon, which

ment as an elevator man was provided
for him, and he is interested in his
occupation. The bureau. meanwhile,
