AROUND THE HOUSE
sMALL THINGS THAT ARE WORTH
REMEMBERING.
Simple Manner In Which to Save
Thread on Misunderstanding
Bands for Trimming-For
Neat Waist and Skirt.

Save Thread on Machine.-Raise
the foot of the machine to remove gar
ment you are sewing, but before cut
ting the threads lower the foot again
with top andslower threads toward the
back. You then can cut the threads
much shorter and the foot will hold
them firmly in place with no trouble
about the needle getting accidentally
unthreaded. The work can easily be
placed under the foot again, and you
will find the needle always threaded
in place of always unthreaded.
Pea Pin Cushion.-A pretty idea for
small cushions is a bunch OF green
pea pods-about six pods made of
green silk and tied together with baby
ribbon. Stuff with hair. A good pat
tern can be obtained from an old seed
catalogue.
|, Simple Buttonholes.-First sew the
shape of the buttonhole, and then cut
it through the center after it is sewed.
Bands for Trimming never
were used more extensively for trim
ming than at the present time. To
make bands quickly and perfectly, cut
the band one and one-half inches wild
er than desired when finished and
sew into one long strip. Draw two
parallel lines eight inches long on
the ironing board, the distance apart
to equal the width of band when fin
ished. Make a catstitch, using the
lines as a guide. Pull the goods under
the threads, and as it passes under
press with a warm iron. If care is
taken the edges will turn under even
ly as they pass under the threads.
To Hang a Skirt.-One of the most
difficult things in dressmaking is to
make a skirt hang well. To get it even
take a hoop and set it on the floor Cd
little blocks Of wood whose height is
the number of inches the skirt is to be
from the floor. Stand in the center of
the circle and have someone mark the
material along the top of Jthe hoop
with a piece of chalk.
House Dress.-A shirt waist and
skirt make the neatest Of house
dresses, providing the skirt band does
not sag, and, to prevent this, the band
usually is worn too tight to be COM
Portable while at work. Sew buttons
at regular distances apart on shirt
waist band; in skirt band work but
tonholes, or, If band is narrow, sew
tape loops to correspond. When
fastened to waist by means of these
buttons and buttonholes or tape loops
the weight of dress hangs from
shoulders, as it should. Do not use
hooks and eyes, as these will cause
rust spots when sent to laundry.

SYNOPSIS.

Giles Dudley arrived i'm San Francisco
TO join his friend and distant relative
Henry Wilton whom he was to assist
In an important and mysterious task,
and who accompanied Dudley on the
ferry boat trip into the city. The re-
markable resemblance of the two men
is noted and commented on by passen-
gers on the ferry. They see man with
snake eyes. which sends a thrill through
Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation
of the strange crrand Dudley is TO per-
form, but occurrences cause him TO
know IT is one of no ordinary meaning.
Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with
instruction to await his return and shoot
any one who tries to enter Outside there
is heard shouts and curses and the noise
of quarrel. Henry PUSHES in and at
his request the roommates quickly eX-
change clothes, and he hurries out again.
Hardly has he gone than Giles is
startled by a cry of Help and he runs
out 10 find some one being assaulted py
half dozen men, lie summons ponce
man but they are unable To find any
trace OF a crime Giles returns to his
room and hunts for some evidence that
finds map which he endeavors TO de-
cipher. Dudley is summoned TO the
morgue and there finds the dead body OF
his friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilt
on dies without ever explaining to Dud-
ley the puzzling work he was to perform
in san Francisco. In order to discover
the secret mission his friend had entrust-
ed TO him, Dudley continues his disguise
and permits himself to be known as
Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for
Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist
in a stock brokerage deal. "Dicl<y" takes
the supposed Wilton to Mother Bortons.
Mother Borton discovers that he is not
Wilton. The lights are turned out and
free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley
finds himself closeted in n room with
Mother Borton who makes a confidant
of him. He can learn nothing about the
mysterious boy further than that it is
Tim Terrill and Darby Meeker who are
after him. He is told that "DickY' Nahl
is a traitor playing both hands in the
game. Giles finds himself locked in
room. He escapes through a window.
The supposed Wilton carries out his dead
friends work with Doddridge Knapp. He
has his first experience as a capitalist in
the Board Room of the Stock Exchange.
Dudley receives fictitious note purport-
ing to be from Knapp, the forgery of
which he readily detects. Dudley gets his
first knowledge of Decker, who is
knappS enemy on the Board.

CHAPTER discontinued,

The call closed amid animation; but
the excitement was nothing com
pared to the scene that had followed
the fall in the morning. Omega stood
at eighty asked, and seventy-eight bid,
and the ship of the stock gamblers
was again sailing on an even keel.
The session was over at last, and
Wallbridge and Eppner handed me
their memoranda of purchases.
You couldn't pick Omega off the
bushes this afternoon, Mr.. Wilton"
said Wallbridge, wiping his bald head
vigorously. There's fools at all times,
and some of 'em were here and ready
to drop what they had; but not many.

by this order. For little suspected

as convenient a place for homicidal
diversions as he could wish, if these
were in his intention. and possibly

house would give me a better clue to
his habits and purposes, and better
chance of bringing home to him his
awful crime, than a month together on
the Street.

The Glacier, the first of the battle
ship tenders to arrive on her way home,
got IN yesterday afternoon and went
alongside Alakea street wharf, where
she viii lie until the arrival of the
feet on the 10th. The vessel looked
very clean and white as she came up
the channel. Pilot Macaulay oficiated
on the bridge.
The Glacier is the supply boat for
the feet, and has great quantity of
beef. mutton and canned goods for the
consumption of the men on the war
vessels. She is equipped with the
model wireless apparatus of the navy,
including the tuning coil, the invention
of Commander Hogg, which is one OF
the latest wireless devices, giving the
plant having it the power to send and
receive messages without their being
interfered with by others.
The ventilated spark gap, as the ap-
paratus is known, keeps the spark
cool. Most of the stations die out in
power after they have been sending
for fifteen or twenty minutes, but with
the new arrangement the sending APP
paratus gets better the longer it is in
use. The particular improvement that
the ventilated gap makes besides keep
ing the spark. cool is that it makes the
wave length uniform. The wave length
being uniform. specially designed
tuning coil enables the reception of
messages with wave lengths that do
not vary more than 5 per cent. All
others are cut out by the operator at

NAPooPoo's LIGHT.

Napoopoo, the little village on the
Kona coast. near which Captain Cook
was killed, has arisen to the dignity
of having lighthouse station called
after it. The station is to be located
on the low point of land on the north
west side of Kealakekua bay, about
one thousand feet southwest of Cook s
monument.
According to the announcement the
light was established there July 1. 1t
is a fixed white lens-lantern light,
about 80 feet above the water, and 40
feet above the ground, on lead-color-
ed mast having at its base small
white house with red roof and lead
coIOred trimmings.
