NEW YORK LEADS WORLD.
Surpasses Even London In Wealth
and Variety of Business.

VI IdolHCScs
New York. which ranks second
among the worlds cities in popula.
ton. largely surpasses London in
wealth and in the volume and variety
of its business activities, says Les
lies Weekly The United States
passed England in extent of manu-
features in 1880, in iron and steel pro
duction in 1895 and in coal output in
1900, and its leadership in each of
these fields is rapidly frightening.
New York city is the business capi-
tai OF a country which produces 20
per cent of the worlds wheat, rs per
cent of its gold, 80 per cent of its coal,
S5 per cent of it's manufactures, 40
per cent of its iron, AZ per cent of its
steel, So per cent of its petroleum,
So per cent of its copper, 70 per cent
of its cotton and 80 per cent of its
corn.
The wealth of the United States in
1907 is $11s,O00, 100000, or as much as
that OF its two nearest rivals-Great
Britain, and France-in the aggregate.
AS the United States natural re.
sources are only in the early stage of
their development and as its suprem-
acy over the rest of its old-time rivals
is steadily increasing, its social and
business leadership in the world is as
sured.

TO RENovATE OLD GOWNS.
Steaming and ironing VIII be Found
to Work Wonders.

Dressing, sponging and putting on
new finishings will really do wonders
for last years gown. Just as the best
cloth dress in the world would not
look well were it not pressed, so
steaming and ironing will spruce up
the old. Try it on one and see.
Take an old skirt, begin to rip at
the waistband, and unpick enough to
allow it to lie perfectly fat; then ar.
range an ironer's dress board on two
chair backs, get a basin of hot water
and little liquid ammonia set in the
seat of the chair where it will be
handy.
Next get piece of cloth-any sort
viii do--such as tweed or covert
coating Cut it absolutely a yard
square or less and have three or four
very hot irons at the fire. These are
the most important, as they must just
be under scorching point, and a stiff
clothes brush will be needed.
Having collected all the requisites
and spread the dress over the board.
dip the piece of cloth in the water
and wiring it like a patch over the
dress; smooth it down and iron quick
~ with the hottest iron.
AS soon as the iron has passed over
the whole surface of the patch tear it
quickly off and, while the cloth below
is steaming, brush up the nap with
the clothes brush and leave it while
you proceed to do the next square OF
the skirt, repeating the same process
until the entire garment has been
ironed in this way.

attractive, and -choice patterns are
shown in inexpensive curtains, as well
as the higher-priced ones. OF the
many effective patterns in the Swiss
imported curtains the combination of
applique lace and net, as shown in
some OF the Illustrations, is exception
ally well manipulated The one with
the graceful bow and rose design is
especially attractive, as well as the
wreath pattern Inclosing an oval
medallion. Equally handsome are
those of net with the popular Empire
design, but this, like the wreath and
medallion pattern, should be used in
a room where the paper or other
decoration Is of harmonious design.
An effective and pretty curtain is Of
soft muslin, with a border of Swiss
work in ivory white. A very pretty
lacey design is in the ecru tint, and
equally charming are the iyory-white
Marie Antoinette curtains.
Dainty curtains are made of bob
binet with an insertion and edging of
lace in the Renaissance design, and
the lattice effect is very popular also.
Fer bedroom curtains point d'esprit
net, with frills of the same. is still
popular, either In ecru or ivory-white.
Curtains for bedrooms, library and
diningroom reach the sill, while for
reception room and parlor they are
usually hung to just clear the floor.
Some of the new printed linens are
admirable for easement curtains
where a slight pattern is felt to be de.
sirable
For the clear pane of glass set in
nearly every front door nothing is so
satisfactory as brussels net decorated
with some sort of lace. Arabian and
Renaissance lace are the most effec-
tive, and the conventional design Is
spaced exactly in the center of the
net Fillet work is easy for home
manufacture, being nothing more nor
less than the darned net in imitation
of the popular Italian method. A nat
lace braid laid over a hem is the most
satisfactory way of finishing edges.
These door curtains must be stretched
quite fat to have the design look
we'll and the tiniest of lacks are gen.
erously used for holding them in
place With door curtains, especially,
one color should be adhered to; if
ecru, braid for the lace; if white, the
clear white.
In carrying out any one idea or
style in the scheme of decorating a
room, each detail needs equally care
full consideration, and often an other
wise charming effect is spoiled by a
tasteless selection and arrangement of
curtains at the windows. Indeed. the
question of suitable curtains is an inn
portant detail. and needs more than
ordinary thought.
Not only the decoration of the room
itself must be taken into considera-
ton, but the style of the windows,
and the general effect of the house as
whole from the outside.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Man Found in Apparently Dying condi-

A logger named Stark was taken to

who has been in the city for about a
week has been on protracted spree

money with Carlson Bros. and yesterday
drew $50 of the money. Last night he
entered the Sunnyside Saloon and seated
himself in chair. He was afterward
discovered to be in a bad condition and
DR.. Pilkington was called in. An emetic
was administered which was one-half an
hour in operating and the man being un-
conscious it was difficult for the physi.
clan to properly diagnose bis trouble.
However the physician believed it to be
n case of acute alcoholism and had him
conveyed to the hospital for further ex-
animation and treatment. A stretcher
was brought and willing lot of volun-
teers carried him to the institution The
man was evidently in serious condition
