The st. Louis club has loaned
Pitcher Stevenson and Catcher Bren-

The Washington club has purchased

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, COM
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be architecturally perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is not if there is not closet room
enough.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much mere thinly because of it's great

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

Grotesque Spanish Honor.

There is a story about the Duke of

common sense of Englishmen. When
the duke was cooperating with the
Spanish army in the peninsula against
Napoleon he was DESTROYS on one oc.
casion during general engagement
that the general commanding the
Spanish contingent should execute a
certain movement on the field. He
communicated the wish to the Span
lard personally and was somewhat
taken aback to be told that the honor
Of the king Of Spain and his army
would compel him to refuse the re-
quest unless Wellington, as foreign
officer graciously permitted to exist
and fight on Spanish soil, should pre-
sent the petition on his knees. The old
duke often used to tell the story after
ward, and he would say, "Now, was
extremely anxious to have the move
ment executed, and I didn't care a
'twopenny damn about getting on my
knees, so down jumped"
