windows Of the room to let out the
obnoxious gas and admit the fresh air
and mix pound Of soap, cut In shay
ings. with three and half pints Of
water and apply this stick. fluid tc
the gas pipe with brush. The leak
in the pipe will be indicated by bub.
bles in the soapy application. and the
damage may be temporarily rectified
by rubbing the spot with cake OF
soap. softened by being used, which
will stop the leakage Of gas till the
plumber can arrive to execute a per.

C0RSICAN CUSTOMS.
Tragic Funeral Rites-Death Hunters
and lnprovisatores.


When Corsican woman dies, she Is
always buried in new costume, which
sometimes with the poorer classes
takes up most Of the family savings,
burial imperative within twenty-four
hours the new gown is generally COM
menced directly the dying PERSONS ILL.,
ness assumes serious form.
Corsicans reverence the dead, and a
feature in Il funeral Is the 'improvisa-
torres" women whose business 1t is to
improvise prose-poetry to the mourn
ers. Often this imprOvising is wonder
fully beautiful and breathes the true
feeling Of sorrow.
The death hunters" attend funerals
and afterward wrestle with the mourn
ers. If a relative Of the deceased gets
the better in the combat it is assumed
that his affection for the departed rela-
tive was absolutely genuine.
When the corpse leaves the house,
the women gather at an upper window
and, tearing out handfuls of their hair,
throw 1t ON the coffin. The rich hire
women mourners who scratch their
faces and are paid in proportion to the
injuries they inflict on themselves In
their paroXysms Of grief.
A Corsican widow wears n strip of
black material tied on her eyes for a
week, and during that period she is
fed and led about by her friends. No
room in her house IS cleaned and no
fire lighted for the same period.
In the cemeteries are succession of
little buildings with fiat roofs and high
openings. These are the tombs, and in
side them are rich hangings. flowers,
poetry and lamps which the mourners
place there in remembrance Of the de-
parted.

CULTIvATING FERNS.
How They Can Be Raised and kept
Flourshinu.

Ferns are among the most graceful
and beautiful of foliage plants. For a
shady nook In the yard during sum-
mer, for a shaded window or for hall
decoration In winter the ferns will be
found desirable plants, says Garden
Magazine.
They like cooler atmosphere than
most plants grown for the window. and
for this reason a cool room or hall
suits them best. \ temperature Of
from so to Go degrees is warm enough
for most of the greenhouse species.
Keep in a light, moist. shady place and
as soon as the young plants are large
enough pick them out and pot in three
inch pots, placing half a dozen in each
pot. AS they become larger they may
be ported singly
When the ferns once are established
in pots do not repOt them more than
once year and that invariably when
the plants are in dormant state. I'm
der no circumstances should the roots
be disturbed while growing. AS the
plants become larger the soil should be
more luinpy anu coarse anu SHOulu
consist Of one-sixth part Of charcoal or
broken crockery. which will keep the
soil porous and sweet.
1t is mistake to use large pots for
ferns. They will thrive with less root
room than the majority Of cultivated
plants. and it is not unusual for florists
to allow the plants to remain in the
same pot for more than one year. In
this event. however. the soil Is en-
riched during the growing season by
liberal applications Of liquid manure.
Great care should be taken that the
plants do not suffer from dryness ut
the roots. This will stunt them and
seriously injure their vitality.
Ferns are not attacked often by in
sects. The young fronds sometimes
are troubled by green fly. but this pest
can be effectually destroyed by fumi-
eating. Swinging and washing with
tobacco water. The scale insect is the
worst foe and is difficult to dislodge.
Repeated washing with camphor wa
ter or diluted alcohol when the plants
are at rest will be found effectual.

How to Loosen a Glass Stopper.

There are several ways Of loOsening
the glass shoppers of bottles or de-
canters. One is to stand the bottle In
hot water; another is to drop little
oil between the stopper and the de.
canter with feather and set near the
fire. After time strike the stopper
gently on all sides with piece of
wood and If it does not move repeat
the process. A strip Of flannel around
the neck of the bottle, pulled back.

PRIDE OF H0UsEKEEPERS.
How to Care For the Linen Press and
Its Contents.

No good housekeeper neglects the
linen press, and the care of it is one OF
the most important of housewifely
duties. The best form Of linen press
Is u narrow one from front to back. sc
that when opened all the contents are
exposed to view, with no second row
Of things hidden away behind. 1t Is q
serious mistake to keep linen con
stantly in hot air cupboard, for
though it is thus always aired and
ready for use. yet it will become dis
colored and the edges turn brown If
SO kept.
Many people nowadays discard linen
sheets altogether, preferring cotton
ones, while others keep them only fol-
the summer months, using cotton in
winter, as being warmer.
In mending household linen the most
satisfactory way to do is to mend il
before it is sent to the laundry, not
when 1t returns starched and ready
for use once more, says the Philadel
phia Press.
If thin piece or hole is observed
while the article is in use 1t should be
put aside and either darned or patched
at the first opportunity.
TableclOths invariably begin to wear
at the middle and in the side creases
in which they are folded. When this
Is the case the edges of one side of
the cloth should be turned in and neat
ly stitched to form hem about an
Inch In width. BY this means the
folds In the cloth will come in fresh
lines and the place Of the old crease
will have a new lease Of life.
When cloth is removed from the
table 1t should be put into a press
ana tightly screwed down until want.
ed.
II a sheet is hemstitched 1t should
Ike done at both ends. If only one end
Is SO worked the wear and tear will
come always in the same place, as the
sheet can only be used one way, with
the hemstitching at the top.
Once a year it is very good plan to
devote whole day to going over the
linen stock and to make renewals
where necessary.
1t Is mistake to allow the supply
Of any one article to run too low, for
the replenishing of the entire stock at
one time means somewhat heavy
item Of expense. 1t is much better to
make periodical additions.
When new pillowslips with buttons
are bought, the buttons should be ex.
amined. If these are Of metal covered
with linen, remove them at once. Use
those made by folds of linen only.
Stores which are not In current use
may be wrapped in cloth and placed
on the upper shelves Of the press. The
German "hausfrau" keeps broad EN-.
brOidered bands, which she slips
around her spare sets Of linen.

A JOURNALISTIC HOAX.
Trick the Harvard Lampoon Played
on the Crimson.


on the Crimson.
Speaking of the Crimson. Harvard's
daily newspaper. reminds every Har-
ward man of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or joke-played on that digni-
fed and unsuspecting sheet on Me-
announced that it would not appear on
that holiday. but inconspicuously, so
few were surprised to find their Grim
son at their door that morning as usu-
al. Their surprise began. however,
when they scanned its contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and irresponsi-
bic during the night. for in its columns
all sorts of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news. though clothed in the usu-
al heavy, dignitied Crimson style, was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared were:
"A Plot to Blow Up Memorial Hail."
"Strong Men to Get the Varsity H."
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University" and most important of all
a notice, "Lampoon Celebration at :
Tonight" Then the joke came out.
The Lampoon had published the ia
nous flake Crimson" the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lampy's sanctum was the
scene Of bacchanalian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up I'LL night with injunctions
against repetition Of the fake the
joke was again on them, for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats hiinself.-K. B. Townsend in
