SAVED BY WIFE'S GHOST
Apparition Appears to New

New York, Dec. 11.-That a whisper

Of his dead wife saved him today from
death by assassination is the belief Of
Charles Henry Durand. a farmer living
in the hills near Caldwell, n. J. His
strange story is being used as a clew
by the authorities. Durand says that
late Monday night as he was driving
home from Paterson his horse stopped
in the road and began to tremble In
vain he urged the animal to proceed.
1t would not bulge.
Suddenly the air grew oppressive and
faint light like distant heat light
ming appeared. Then gradually amid
the dim flashes a white figure assumed
vague form besides the wagon. Dur
and himself commenced to quake. He
tried to get out of the buggy, but his
limbs refused to obey his Will. After
an interval the apparition in white
spoke in a whisper. He recognized
in fear and trembling the voice of his
dead wife.
There is danger at home. Stay away
till morning" the voice said.
Ghost Vanishes with Warning.
Cold chills crept over Durand.
Scarcely had the supernatural warning
been uttered when the ghost vanished.
1t took the farmer some time to re-
cover his nerve, and then he found
the horse would not take a step for
ward He took off the harness, and
after two hours work brought the an

location.

fash inside the room was accom-

buried itself in the wall OF the hallway
opposite the door Durand then ran
inside his room and found the bullet
had come from a pistol fastened to the
top Of his bureau. The trigger had
been connected with string across
the door. The shot would have struck
him in the breast had he touched the
string with his foot in entering the
room.

ABOUT THE GLOVES
TO SAVE EXPENSE AND HAVE
NEAT APPEARANCE.
First gift" Has Much to Do with the
Life of These important Dress
Accessories-Proper Way
to Mend.

In the first place, the eft" has a
good deal to do with the life of
glove, and so, for this reason alone, it
will be worth while paying extra for
pair that will be fitted to the hands
rather than buying haphazard cheap
err pair.
Fat fingers can not be forced into
gloves cut for slender ones without
bursting at the second wearing.
A well-f1tting glove will be perfectly
easy on the hand, yet show no wrinkle
anywhere, and to be too large is quite
as bad as being too small, for, while
the tighter glove will be no more apt
to crack or split, the looser one will
become shabby sooner.
Having exercised care in selecting
gloves, the same should be studied in
keeping them in good condition. The
we'll known glove mending sets are an
aid to this and means of keeping all
the necessary articles together, for it
often happens that one might mend
gloves in less time than Is consumed
in looking up the necessary articles.
A set of this kind includes threads
Of every wanted shade arranged in the
form of broad braid, a small pair of
scissors, an emery and an enameled
darner. A small ball is attached to
one end of the darner, at the other is
an egg-shaped knob. This is used
when repairing rips in the fingers, the
ball being inserted to help in repairing
hole. Cotton is always used for
mending gloves of kid or of Isle
thread, but silk glove member set
comes for silk gloves.
Needles are not included, but they
may be bought separately. For re-
pairing Isle thread or silk gloves any
ordinary sewing needle may be used.
but the kid ones will be mended
much heater if special needle that
comes for the purpose is used.
From the eye half way downward
the needle differs in no way from
other sewing needles, but the point
half has three sides instead of being
round. This makes a smaller hole
than the round needle, and as the
thread employed is so very fine it
does not fill up the hole formed by the
round needle passing through So it
is best to use the glove or fur needle.
They are about the same thing.
Rips in the seams of gloves are al
ways repaired on the right side, with
an overhanded stitch that is perfectly
simple Supposing one does not pos
sess a darner, then it is better to in
sert finger than to hold the glove
to be mended in the hand. The seam
will be fatter and more flexible, while
repaired without such aid the result
is apt to be a botch.

Correct Corsets.

Nothing can be more absurd than
to see, as one constantly does, short
stout woman, who by the aid Of
straight fronted corsets, has succeed
ed in so frightening her waist line as
to get it apparently just midway be
tween her toes and her shoulders. TC
begin with, this really is not good
style, as the tendency of the moment
rather is towards the high waisted
effect of the empire. At the same time
this is a season of large liberty in
ones choice in dress, and we'll balanc.
ed figure-tall and slim, and yet well
rounded, being favorably suited by 8
long WASTED effect-can and wisely
does secure that end. The short, stout
woman should strive to establish 9
proper proportion between the upper
and lower parts of her figure. She
should not allow her things to be
made too tight, nor her small stature
to be overpowered by large hat.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is we'll
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in a suf-
flcient quantity of baking powder for
a batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.
