TAKING OUT A STAIN.
Dry Chloride Of Lime Good in oEe'in.
ate Cases.

When . stain proves unusually OBJ
stinate and absolutely refuses to come
out by ordinary methods, wet the spot
thoroughly and then cover with dry
chloride of lime. Let it remain few
moments, rubbing well with the finger
meanwhile, and then rinse ur til the
lime is out It will generally bs found
that the stain is also gone. If not,
apply again. A second application will
remove anything that is remoy able.
Owing to the nature of the remedy,
however, it is far better to make a
second application than to leave the
first one on until the stain is all gone
The chemical action of the lime re-
moves a portion of the internal 6her
of the material and thus eats up the
stained part. The proportion of fiber
removed is so small as to do no injury
but If left on too long the lime will
insinuate itself, taking strong hold,
and finally bite through the fabric, or
weaken it so it will soon wear in holes
Chloride of lime is the base of javello
water, which is so often recommend
ed for the removal of stains, but using
the powder itself is more satisfactory
in many ways; and, as it can be
bought in small cans with sprink.
ling top, it is quite as convenient as
when in solution.

Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.

81 had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time. and were always
itchy, and I could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was SO
severe, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. I could not rest or
sleep. had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the
Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and I never felt
better in my life than ! do now.

WAGES Good "smellcrs" Earn.

There are several trades which pro.
vide men and women with good liv-
ing simply because they enjoy an ex-
ceptionally keen sense of smell, says
the London World. Scentmakers, for
example, need some one with very
delicate sense of smell to aid them
In mixing the ingredients of perfumes
in proper proportions. Queen Alex
andra's favorite perfume - violet
costs 210 per ounce bottle, and it
has to run the gauntlet of five pro-
fessional "smellers'' before it Is
passed as being correctly blended and
ready for her majesty's use.
Some of the leading firms Of per-
fume makers pay their "smellers"
from ga to G7 a week. Contractors
for the lighting Of streets, large pub
lie buildings and pleasure grounds
very often engage "smellers" to find
escapes of gas, one shilling being gen.
orally paid for each escape reported.
Some of these men frequently make
over e3 in a single week, the result
being that in many cases the fee has
been reduced to Cd. per escape re-
ported.

One Call for Physician That Met with

Life is such a constant rush to a

while squads of soldiers were march
ing up either side of the streets, and
as the chair of the future empress of
Corea passed through the crowd stood
back to make room.
Following the chair of the bride
were many officials all on horseback.
The colors were glorious. but the
procession could not have been more
than a quarter of mile long, which
is a Disappointment when we remember
the interminability of funeral pro-
cession.
At six o'clock the foreign represen-
tatiyes were received in audience.
The Belgian consul general, M. Vim

General Hasegawa stood near the en-

man attended. Neither the emperor

Varnish Secret Lost.

The Cremona varnish disappeared
about 1850, and so far the recipe has
not been rediscovered. Whether it
was a gum or an oil or distillation
from some plant or a chemical is not
known, nor how it was mixed. Many
theories regarding it have been ad-
vanced from time to time, and bod,
who died in 1880, claimed to have
rediscovered 1t. He employed others
to make his violins, but always var.
nished them himself. His varnish is
very superior, and his violins COM
mand high prices. The vanishing
and polishing of violin are done
usually by a woman. It requires time
and practice, for the finest instruments
are gone over as often as 80 times

FiIet Darnino,

Filet darning is the favorite work
for woman's leisure hours at the
present moment. If a knowledge of
netting is possessed the foundation
fabric is made by the worker, but if
not, the square meshed Is bought at
the lace counters, and is then darned
in historic patterns to initiate an.
tique lace. The articles oftenest made
are doilies and centerpieces, but pill
low covers, table and bureau scarfs
offer themselves for adornment with
the filet squares, and even bedspreads
and curtains are sometimes attempted
by the ambitious workers. When
eyelet work and the padded French
embroidery are used in conjunction
with the filet lace the result is very
decorative. The foundation net must
be stretched over a frame to be
darned to best effect Some lingerie
blouses show insets of the filet lace
with awfully good effect.

WEDDING PROCESSION IN coREA,
Rride-EIect Of the Crown Prince Pass
ed Through the Streets of Seoul.

A magnificent blaze of color was
the impression which we first re-
ceiyed of the procession of the bride
elect of the crown prince to the pal
ace, says a writer in the Corea Daily
News. We expected larger process
sion than we saw, but our disappoint-
ment was more than alleviated by the
splendor OF the procession and the
populace. Greens, yelloWs, pinks and
blues, all in striking contrast and like
" to be bizarre, formed themselves
into a truly delicate harmony.
The procession passed up the big
street at about four o'clock. The first
to come were a number of female
servants of the bride. They were
mostly old women and their march
was something to be seen. Following
them came a number of palace "gi-.
sang" each one clad gorgeously and
every one carrying pink parasol.
Later came the state chairs of the
bride; there were two of them and the
bride was in the sec-sd one, Mean

A New Color.

One can get an idea of it by look
ing at the tan shoes for spring, which
are in this new golden yellow effect.
A charming gown in dead apricot
silk was worn on the stage in not
able production. It is not a color to
be rashly attempted, but if one is
sure of it's becomingness it is an up
to-date choice for an afternoon or
evening gown.

My personal knowledge of the wonl-

those of Manila and the surrounding
towns Considering the times, condi-
tons and opportunities, my circle Of
friends there is not inconsiderable,
and whenever the occasion offered l
found their kindly hospitality and gen

pines contain many different, distinct
tribes and dialects, which I shall not,
however, touch upon, but give my own
experience and observations.
As in every other country, the wom-
en- OF the Philippines are divided into
classes; the high-born ladies who are
bright and attractive, dress daintily,
possess their horses and carriages,
live in luxury, entertain sumptuously
and find life altogether agreeable; the
middle class-perhaps the happiest,
for there is no "noblesse oblige'-who
are Independent, unconventional, COM
Portable; and the poorer, whose cares
and clothes are few, labors light and
habits extremely simple
] was brought in contact with them
all and found much to interest me in
each.
MY introduction was to the sweet
faced, gentle-mannered nuns of Con-
cordia, who so kindly and cordially
offered me shelter upon my arrival in
Manila, when the recent uprising in
the town rendered it dangerous for I'M
protected Americans. While many of
them were natives, l fancy quite a
number were brought from Spain, but
SO long ago they had easily acquired
the habits and customs of the country,
which under Spanish rule was, after
all, much like their own.
The convent, several miles out of
Manila, was beautifully situated
among tropical shade trees, with fine
grounds and an imposing entrance,
where one always met with a hospit-
able welcome. In prosperous times
before the war"-this grand old con-
vent was supported by from 900 to 500
pupils Now there were only 40 desti-
tute girls, whom these good women
fed, clothed and sheltered by the labor
Of their hands.

My children were profoundly struck
with the "nothings' in the way of
toys to be found. They were intensely

handsome paper dolls just received
