In recent Issue The New 4ork Trl- bune, in an editorial referring to the efforts along educational lines In Ala bama said
 During the recopstruction period its government, like that of its sister States, was largely taken out of the hands of its own citizens, and the repu- diation of it's State debt shortly after the Civil War was so great shock to the credit of Alabama that at times 1t has been difficult to borrow even the comparatively small sums neces- sary to carry on its work. Naturally. under these circumstances, the educa- tional system of the State was not remodeled as 1t should have been. and up to the present time has not receiv- cd the attention that the new times and conditions demand.
 The Tribune has no warrant for say ing that Alabama repudiated its State debt Iae statement is untrue. When Alabama was under the political con- trol of negroes and carpet baggers, members of The Tribune's political party, corruption ran riot. The States credit was pledged to railroads to an alarming extent. The money approA priated for schools was largely stolen outright. Alabama, however, did not repudlate her debts. On the contrary bonds for every dollar of bonded debt were re-issued and contingent liabn- ity for a large amount was honorably and satisfactorily settled. The Tri- bune owes Alabama an apology. It was part and parcel of the terms of the law enacted by The Tribune's Re- publican Party that the Southern States before they could get their prop CT standing as members of the Union carrying on the Confederate side of the war .

FUEL FOR SEA FIGHTERS.

Government Experts Will Test En-
cheney Of New SmokeIess Coal.
Tests Of a superior fuel which It Il
thought may enable any United States
war vessel to overtake or Outfoot an
enemy, as may be desired, will be be-
gun ON a number of fighting vessels at
Hampton Roads as soon as the United
States geological survey plant at Nor
folk, Va, for testing government fuels
Is completed, says the Washington
Post.
Government experts not only hope to
demonstrate that this fuel has more
efficiency than any other coal, but also
expect that it will be practically smoke
less. which is perhaps as big factor
as its efficiency.
Recently Admiral Robley d. Evans
complained Of the use Of soft coal on
war vessels, declaring that the smoke
which 1t emits gives unmlstakable in
dication Of the approach of a ship be-
fore the hull Is in sight. File further
said that II the furnaces are forced 10

This second cause, he says. nearly
spoiled Admiral Dewey's plan for the
invasion of Manila bay. The admiraps
remedy Ia for the government to obtain
exclusive control OF the anthracite de-
poslts OF the country, which is not con-
sidered practicable.
Recent tests carried on by the gov.
ernment indicate that fuel made from
slack coal pressed into brlquettes not
only burns almost without smoke, but
also evaporates more steam and pro
duees more power under the boilers
than does the same amount of coal.
These briquettes are made by taking
the waste or slack coal from mines
and mixing 1t with sufficient tar 50
that the coal will bold together, the
whole being pressed into blocks oil
cakes by machinery.
An elaborate series OF tests will com

A SEASON FOR LACES.

There is no doubt that this is a sea-
son for laces, for all of the frocks for
the fashionable summer resorts show
abundant quantities of this trimming.
One of these is a dream in palest sill
yer gray chiffon cloth trimmed with
transparent insertions of very fine Irish
crochet lace. These are attached to
the material with a fine network of en-
broidery silk and narrow vandyked In
sertions formed with tiny rondeaux Of
the cloth, forming an open design
through which the lining of the palest
iris taffeta is visible.
The bodice is en- suite ana about the
waist there is a gifted girdle of iris
colored satin, boned front n sbaok,
and trimmed with little rosettes Of
embroidery in the centre Of which are
small jeweled buttons. Elaborate trim
mings Of fine needlework and strap
pings trim the bodice. which has a
vest of plated chiffon over which fold
inside revers of lace, Joined by mar
row bands of ribbon velvet. The sleeves
are in doubles of chiffon cloth. with
underpuffs of chiffon, gagged into
elbow cuffs of embroidery and Irish
crochet.

FOR THE MEEDLEWOMAN.

The tops of women's fine cotton or
silk hose make III best of busters,
when the seam is cut down n the
hens are opened and two of these Tops
whipped together, so as not to make a
hard seam.
For a dainty bureau scarf take three
medium-sized handkerchief with mar
row hemstitched borders. Join them to-
Eether with a row of val. lace. Whip
a neat lace edging all around scarf and
tack to a colored lining.
Sc many bits of needlework are mn
ished with scalloped edges that 1t is
well to be able to mark the outline Tor
his edge without going to the trouble
and expense of sending he material TO
be stamped. This may be done easily
with a thimble. Place h thimble on
the material n with a sharp pencil
draw around the edge half way, rms
will make the scallop; slip the thimble
along and repeat.
For a satisfactory working dress
make a two-piece dress out of rather
dark, attractive wash material. Cut
the shirt waist trinity. and button be-
hind, the collar sewed on. and button
ing, too. The sleeves are elbow length.
Make the skirt a well-f1tttng hve-
gored model. with a ounce. Close the
placket with buttons and ~buttonholes'
Button the skirt to the waist IN the
back. A belt of the same material is
stitched to the skirt, and 1t also but
tons in the back. With the little white
turnover collar and an apron one can
look trim and neat, n matter what
work they are doing.
FOR the very latest veA that can be
made at home with small expense, ger
a round piece of sprigged net, about Q
yard in diameter, matching 1t TO the
hat in color and finish the edge with
three narrow bands of velvet or with
o piece of lace edginz. Dampen Il and
press the edges so they will lie nicely
just undulating the least bit. Then
throw the veil over the hat so that II
hangs the same length back and FROM

which is caused by the sulphur in the
eggs.
Instead Of putting foo into the oven
to keep hot for late-comers, try cover
ing 1t closely with a tin and setting II
over a saucepan of hot water. This
plan will keep the food hot, and at the
same time prevent it from drying.
No better way of busting the walls
of q room can be suggested thar to
cover a broom with a bag of heavy
canton flannel made with the fuzzy side
out. A drawstring at the top allows
the bag to be drawn tightly about the
broom.
Lemons may be kept a long time
| months-under glass. If you are not
going to use them Immediately, lay
them pm a fiat surface and invert a
goblet over each one. After six months
imprisonment in this manner they have
been taken out as fresh as ever.
Water In which vegetables have been
| boiled should never De poured DOWN n
sink, for 1t causes a very lingering and
~disagreeable odor to permeate the
whole house, such liquids are best
thrown out upon the EARTH where the
smell will evaporate without being un-
pleasant.
Cleaning Windows-Use stronE soda
water with plenty of soap. Rinse
freely. Finish off with a succession Of
warm. dry cloths.
A moldy or -squeezed-out lemon put
into a dirty saucepan half-full of water
and boiled for half an hour. o~leanses 1t
perfectly and removes all odor.
When a knife has been used to cut
onions, wipe 1t with a damp cloth n
rub 1t briskly with. coarse salt. The
Objectionable smell will then entirely
disappear.
Milk Is an excellent substitute for
soap in washing dishes. It not only
softens the hardest water and gives
dishes a clear, polished look. but it
prevents the and from chapping.
1t also prevents a greasy scum from
appearing on the top of the water.
Renewing Oilcloth-When oilcloth
has been down for a few months. and
Is losing the shiny surface, 1t a be
renewed easily, and it will last twice
as long. Melt a little ordinary. glue in
tor of the oven till dissolved. Wash
the oilcloth thoroughly and let 1T dry.
Then at night, when the trafic of the
day is over. go over the whole thing
carefully with a flannel dipped in the
glue water. Choose a dry day for 1t.
and by morning the glue will be hard,
and will nav put a fine gloss, as good
as new. on. your floor.
