What kind of canvas is used to
stiffen the fronts of coat, or will
crinoline do2
ANNA THOMAS.

Canvas is preferable to crinoline
and for the same reasons tailors' can
vas, which has soft finish, is better
than the French or dressmakers' can
vas, which is stiff and likely to foid
into sharp folds or creases, that will
show through the cloth. The canvas
should be shrunk before it is used.

How should a princess dress be
boned? ETHEL I T.

The bones should extend above
the waist line in the same manner and
to the same height as in a waist.
Below this line they should end just
above the fullest part of the hips.
They should be finished off at the
lower edge the same as the top, leav-
ing one-half irch of the bone free
from the waist.

SAVED MAN TREED by BUCK.


William Staples, Of Eureka, Sulli-
van County, interfered with the love
affairs of buck deer, according to
the lovers way of thinking, and the
farmer had to take to a tree, writes
the Port Jeryis (N. " correspond
ent OF the New York World.
The angry buck took his stand un-
der the branches where the shiyerlng
Staples clung and paved the ground
and tore the roots, thinking fortune
might land the inte2loper within
reach. The sun was high wlen Sta
pies Skinned up the tree, and the
shadows began to get long as the
buck stood by his post. Staples had
visions of passing the night monkey
fashion, and he halloced 2or help.
A human didn't answer him, but
something whistled, eff in the brush.
The besieging buck threw his head
high in the air, all attention Again
the whistle. Staples didn't know it,
but the whistle was a challenge. The
besieging buck answered it.
The brush cracked AMI out into
the omen strode second buck. The
pair eyed each other rs jealous lov-
ers do and then fell to. Staples pic
tured the timid doe somewhere OH in
the brush. The animals charged, re-
treated and charged again. They
broke off their silky spring ant.ars.
They rolled in the sod, which was
torn up through a circle of twenty
feet about the tree.
Staples saw his delive-ance, slid
down the tree and made off. The
sound o. the combat reached him for
considerable distance. He got his
gun and dogs, and set out again.
When he reached the spot the battle
had been lost and won.
All that remained to tell the tale
was trampled earth. tufts of hair and
gore. Deep in his heart Staples
hoped that the fortunes of love and
war had been kind to the challenger.

This affair has passed the stage OF
suppressed comment and is taking on
she semblance of scandal. Murray
Is fugitive convict and ought to be
apprehended. If he is not brought

Gambling at Baseball Games.

Chief among the knockers" Of

game. This sort Of calamity is so
acute to this class Of individuals that

feature of game dropped by the
home team. In other words, their in
terest is promoted by very low or
der Of seifshness.
Those guilty of this would do we'll
to quit gambling on baseball games.
baseball is not gambling sport any
how. and only in the small cities and
towns is any betting done on it. In
the Dig leagues baseball is as clean Of
gambling as tennis or golf, and 1t
should be so here.

GREAT SEA WALL.

Charleston, June "a locomotive.
cars tracks and other mechanical ap-
pliances and equipments have been
purchased by the United States en-
gireer's department and active ar
rangements are under way for the
construction OF the great sea wall to
be built on Sullivan's Island to protect
the beach and especially the fortifica-
tions and the actual work of con-
struction will soon be started.
Capt. George P. Howell, corps Of
engineers. I. S. A., in charge of the
flarbor work, will have direction of
the construction Of the wall and is
now arranging the preliminaries.
Capt. Howell is now considering the
bids which were submitted few
days ago for the furnishing Of the
creosoted piles and the stone which
will be used in the construction of the
wall. The wall will cost upwards Of
5000 900.

arce about to be prosecuted is the

section of the work from Bulls Bay

wards Seewee Bay. The project pro-
vides for a four-foot channel, so feet
vide from Charleston harbor TO Nc
Clellansville. Seewee Bay, however
is not to be dredged under the present
appropriation. The idea is to deepen
the canal on both sides and the craft
can then regulate their navigation
by reaching Seewee Eay at Il time
when tide is high, which will give suf-
fcient depth Of water through the
route. The work Of dredging is being
done on both sides Of the bay, where
it is most necessary TO make TIE ap-
preparation go as far as possible.

Advise. Eating Like a DOG.

After all the warnings we have been
receiving for many years past con.
corning the necessity of thoroughly
chewing our food, here comes DR..
Wiley, chief chemist Of the United
States government, and tells us not to
chew our meat at all, but bolt 1t like
a dog. "Flesh-eatlng animals" says
DIR. Wiley, never chew their food.
They bolt it. Man by chewing his meat
makes 1t indigestible. The saliva
mixed with the meat forms an alkaline.
Before the meat can be digested that
alkaline must be neutrallzed. Chew.
ing mechanically is good thing, for
1t breaks up the meat, but practically 1t
is a bad thing, for it makes 1t hard
to digest. OF course, chewing is bene.

cat and, throwing its rider, started
to bolt. The bobcat was about to
leap from the PROSTATE man when the
dog interfered and sprang gamely at
