DEATH OF A VETERAN.
Col. Frank n. Sprague Dies Suddenly
of Heart Disease.

After an illness Of but twenty minutes,
Col. Frank Harris Sprague a promine mt
veteran of the civil war and a leader in
G. A. r. circles. died of heart disease at
his residence, 1874 18th street southeast,
last night. Col. Sprague had been at
tending to his duties as special examiner
of the pension Office yesterday. and there
were no premonitory symptoms to indi-
cate serious illness of any kind. Col
Sprague was born in Rhode Island August
II. 1S47, and at the breaking out of the
civil war was barely fourteen years old,
vet in November 1861. he was mustered
into Company E. list Regiment, Rhode
Island Volunteer Cavalry, and. re-enlist-
ing as veteran volunteer in December,
1863. remained with the army until he was
mustered out as a sergeant, August 3,
1865. He was in twenty-seven engage
ments, but fortunately was never hurt.
At the close of the war, he studied law.
and was graduated from Columbian Uni
versity in this city with the class Of 1871
as department commander of the Depart
ment of. the JOtomac G. a. r. He has
been in the service Of the pension Office
since 1872. and in his capacity as special
examiner has rendered valuable and eff
cient service. 1t was through the efforts
of Col. Sprague that the practice among
pawnbrokers and others Of loaning money
on pension papers as security was broken
up. Col. Sprague was married to Miss
Agnes Bielaski early in life, and his
wife. with one SON, Frank II. Sprague
jr.. and one daughter. Miss Daisy Sprague
held at his late residence Monday at 2
pm. and will be conducted by l.. S.
Grand Post. No. &. G. A. r. The inter-
ment will take place at Arlington.

Dishwashing is, l know, not looked upon
with any distinct favor as an occupa-
ton, but when one stops to consider the
improvements that have been introduced
into modern kitchens and the labor saw
ers and other aids designed for women's
convenience the process becomes almost
a pastime, especially when compared with
the formidable task our mothers had to
face. .
There was the murky, dul-looking iron
sink. no hot running water, draining
boards etc, except those improvised, per-
haps. and everything repellent.
How different Is the white enameled
sink of today. with it's bright nickel or
brass mOuntings. plenty of hot and cold
running water, the stationary tubs nearby
and every convenience at hand. Why.
such dainty surroundings almost invite
their use. and one IS attracted rather
than repealed by the idea of washing
dishes.
Most housewives have their own methods
of dishwashing. With all systems. how
ever. the best plan when confronted by an
array of dirty glass. silver and chinaWare,
is to pile them in separate groups. Glasses
will be freed from any liquids remaining
in them and placed together with other
glass dishes, water pitchers. etc. The sill
yer should be set in another pile. the
dishes and plates in a fourth.
fairly large, Nat dishpan is better than
a smaller. deeper one, and it matters not
whether the pan be block tin or agate.
Having run on sufficient hot water. 1t
should be made soapy by using the soap
shaker. This is much better plan than
allowing a cake of soap to remain in the
water. Indeed. when this Is done contin-
ually it takes the life out of the soap. and
the last half of the cake will not yield the
same service as the first.
To Soften Water.
AS to softening dish water. the best and
most economical remedy l have found is
a kind of shredded soap. 1t looks like
white CASTLE soap cut very fine, but have
been told that it is made from cottonseed
oil, and for that reason it does not chap
the hands as kitchen soap is apt to do.
In the process of washing glassware is
put into the water first, and one may use
a mop or dish cloth in cleansing the

pieces. After thorough washing the
dishes should be placed in a second pan
of warm wafer and rinsed
The silver shou,d-then be cleaned, and.
as glass must be wiped while hot. the
silver may be put to soak while the glass
ware is being dried.
For draining. the intermediate state be-
tween washing and drying. place the
pieces on boards that are about twelve
inches wide and two-thirds the length of
the tubs. These are grooved, to allow the
water to drain off, and are high at one
end. To protect the china rim two inches
high is placed on three sides. This drainer
is set on the tubs close to the wall, and
the end that has no rim is placed over the
sink. so the DRAWINGS from the dishes run
down the grooves and off into the sink.
while the rim keeps the water from flow
ing into the tubs.
Silver can be dried better if wiped while
hot. 1t needs soapy water to make II
shine.
Watch the Crevices.
The smaller articles of china come next.
Saucers and plates require no particular
care, except that the water must not be
too hot. otherwise they may crack or the
decorations may be married. The handles
of cups and pitchers should be scrubbed.
To do this nail brush soaped will re-
move the soil from the crevices. 1t Is I'M
derstood that hot water is added as re-
CURED, or that the water is entirely
changed if thought necessary. The larger
plates and dishes are now put through the
process of washing, rinsing, draining and
wiping.
The pots and pans are next cleaned. and
in thinking of these 1 recommend the use
of paper. If plates. baking dishes and pots
are first wiped off with paper much of the
labor of dshWashing is saved. The
papers SO used can be burned at once in
the kitchen stove. An implement that one
should have to clean cooking utensils
with is pot chain. Heavier cloths for
washing and wping should be provided
for these than for the other ware.
Towels for wiping glass and silver ware
should be of the usual barred cream, linen
glass cloth, each a yard long before hem
ming. For Il cents one may expect a
serviceable quality, and anything cheaper
is not an economy.
p Linen crash with colored border is the
best tOweling fOr-dishes, and at ii cents a
yard one can get good, substantial
weave.

Worth on Economy.

How can any self-respecting woman
clothe herself in last years gown?" asks
NJ Worth of Paris. in Harper's Bazaar.
IF each frock. instead of being an epit-
ONE of every fugitive craze of the hour,
be in detail beautiful and becoming. and
of good and beautiful material. there will
be no reason why. possibly with a little
alteration. but probably without any at
all, the gown aged two.- three, or even
four years may not be worn and look adj
mirable.
Never order fashions that date dress.
is my advice to the thrifty. When every
body is wearing balloon sleeves, restrain
your own. When skirts are SO attenuated
that walking is difficulty, say to your
dressmaker that you must have extra
breadth in yours. Moderation is the
watchword of the really good dressmaker
and exaggeratiOn his detestatiOn.

New Hat Trimmings.

New hat ribbons show an immense
white polka dot on deep-colored back
grounds. such as dark red, navy blue,
golden brown and green. Three yards
will make a generous bow with a little
to spare for draping the crown. The net
bows. both plain and ring-dotted, can be
bought ready for adding to the hat all
wired. These are very pretty and airy
looking. and just the thing to take the
place of the ribbon bow on a silk hat.

Translucent Enameled Jewelry.

This is certainly peculiarly twentieth
century. and so many women nowadays
l. ave learned the art of making enamel
II at it especially appeals to us. Most Of
such ornaments are large. taking the
form of brooches or pendants. and are
made after the fashion of old paste, in
termingled with gems. Some of these
pendants and brooches are in the shape
of flowers or fruit. and faithfully copy
the colors of both. says the Queen. Gold
wire often intersects the enamel. A
bunch of grapes has the tendrils and
leaves in gold, the grapes represented by
pearls, while green tints are represented
by emeraldS.

Mikado Sleeves Are Popular.

There seems to be no. abatement to the
popularity of the mikado sleeves, but not
every one can wear this style, either by
reason of figure-the short stout woman,
for instance-or age. perhaps. for these
Japanese effects are not exactly what
might be termed dignified or important
looking.
A modified form of this sleeve that will
be generally becoming is that cut exactly
after the conventional order. with the
portion that comes under the arms cut
away, giving the effect of long. narrow
epaulets. Little lace frills or fiat trim
ming, as preferred. make nice finish.

 MT. Sells is going abroad for six months and Justice Bischoff. of the Supreme Court ordered the hearing now because the action will not come to trial before some time next year. Mir. Sells testified to ,he good char acter of Mrs. Gould. In July, 1906. after differences had arisen between Mir Mand Mrs. Gould. he said he tried to effect an arrangement involving the Gould's living according to definite domestic and property plan. Certain stipulations were laid down by MT. Gould ts govern his wife's conduct, but Mrs Gould rejected them. shortly af ter which the couple separated. One of Mir. Gould sN conditions, the witness said was that his wife should abstain wholly from the use of intoxicants On this point on cross examination, Delaney NicOll. who appeared for Mir Gould, asked MT.
