waist can be made from less than two
yards, and sheer cottons and heavy
linens will make up very well indeed
according to this plan.
In making gowns for growing girl
it is well to set the belt up on the
waist instead of on the edge. DeeI,
tucks are much in vogue and are eX-
ceedingly convenient for lengthenin3
purposes. 1t is quite easy to leave
enough space between each two tuck>
to enable one to take others on the
wrong side under the wider ones.
Most of the walking skirts are nov
finished with braid bindings so as t.
protect the bottom of the skirt ami th,
braid should be allowed to extend one
quarter of an inch beyond the edge oi
the skirt.
Skirt seams should be opened ant

\ SCHEME OF cCTIElIES,

Another scheme has been developed.
This time it is from Nashville, Tenn.
Former Governor James D. Porter has
been mentioned in connection with the
nomination Tor the presidency Sf the
United States. As 4 compliment to that
gentleman. this reference is hattering
but to elect a Southern man for Presi-
dent Of the United States is as impos-
sible as it would be idiotic Even an
angel with wings having affiliations with
the South, directly or indirectly, would
be sufficient to arouse the preiudices and
the bitterness Of the past This scheme
of Southern man for President is sug-
gested and encouraged by men who de-
sire the defeat of the Democracy and the
triumph Of the party Of combinations
and trusts, Of the Shylocks and sharks
of New York.

The main purpose of the towers i
to support a great number of wires
suspended in the air, and about fifty
of these pass up from the operating
room in the station to cross wires be

of wires is meant to obtain a more
powerful accumulation of electric en-

lance to which the message may be
sent. The electric current is generated
by alternators, and the tension is in
creased by use of transformers. The
discharge of the accumulated current
produces in the ether the electric
waves which make the recording i'm

no teacher who Is in earnest in the

Be on time and be IN earnest and It
will show in better school work the
coming winter. The district has a
right to expect It. You can not hon

Of this district for attending the insti-
