Here is n practical plan for cleaning
and pressing skirts: Brush them first,
then whlsk off with clean brush, damp
ened In ammonia and warm water.
Any stain can be removed IL rubbed out
at once with a mixture OF equal parts OF
ammonia, alcohol and water After the
skirt is thoroughly cleansed, brushed and
dried. lay IL on the pressing table or
board, pin each plait down in the proper
fold, cover the skirt with a piece Of dark
woolen goods, which has been previously
dampened. and then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts do not
use a brush but wipe them with a piece
OF velveteen which will not wear the silk
and will remove the dust very much more
satisfactorily than brush.
SILK or ruffled skirts should be fitted
out with tapes sewn on the lower ruffles.
by which they may be hung upside down.
This prevents the skirt from sagging and
the ruffles from dropping.
Gowns OF delicate material should be put
away In long boxes or drawers, each skirt
being folded I'm plaits into which It should
fall when being worn. The bodces should
be stuffed with tissue paper. also the
sleeves and trimmings filed out with the
paper.
Wash frocks should always be put away
| In trunks, boxes or drawers, whether
| they have been worn or not. for in hang
| they grow strlngy, are more easily affect

MAURITANIA TO
BRING $4,000, 900

New York, Nov. 16.-Advices from En-
gland as to the departure of the hugo
new Cunard steamer Mauretania from
Liverpool this evening on her maiden
transatlantic passage, say that the event
will be attended with an interest fully as
keen as that which marked tho Lusi-
tania's first departure for America The
Mauretania's recent trials establish the
conviction that she will surpass the Lusi-
tania's achievements, notwithsta nding the
official announcement that she will not be
pushed this time
The Mauretania will carry about two
thousand passengers-a record-number for
westward passage i'm mid November
but even then all her berths will not be
filed
The amount OF gold she will bring here
adds yet more interest to the voyage. The
amount is yet uncertain but II will prob
ably be about $l3,0oo,OO0, mainly in gold
bars.

At the Office of Assistant Attor-

have the legilature pass a $4,000
appropriation to pay expenses Of
litigation to determine the correct
boundary line between Oregon and
Washington The sum is declared
to be four times in excess of what
the litigation should cost. Mac
Donald made lengthy argument
before the legislative appropriation
committee, but is said to have ad-
mitted on question that the sum
was excessive. Macdonald Is said
