How to Buy a Couch,

There Is not, q piece of furniture so difficult to buy as Il couch. for only those who know great deal about fur. nlture can tell you what composes Il couch, and enc hears that the deccp- ton Is in miserable wooden frame filled With a little of everything and covered with material which soon fades, says the Chicago News. Be lieve it that pantasote eutwears genu- inc leather. It stays nicer, is more easily renewed and is much easier to use for upholstering purposes than al- most any other kind of material. You should look on the underside of a couch before buying it and see whether 1t is well stayed with braces and not merely lined with thin burlap, which sits shdving3 and sawdust every time the couch is moved or touched. There is no economy in buying q cheap couch, for 1t only stands to reason that the covered framework is the refuse wood of factory.

How to Clean . scwina Machine

Sewing is not half as hard as some people find 1t if the sewing machine Is kept in good running order. When the sewing machine works hard and heavily take the needle and shuttle out and give every joint and bearing a generous bath of gasoline. Of course there should not be lighted lamp or fire of any kind in the room. Turn the wheels briskly for few moments to enable the gasoline to penetrate every part and to loosen and wash away the old oil and grime; then clean it all away. When all the grime and oli have been removed oil with proper lu- bricating oil. running the machine for two or three minutes before inserting the needle.

ART OF CONVERSATION.
How to Talk In an Entertaining and
 Correct Manner.

l s'S's " diN ifl dl ana
 Correct Manner. | It is strange that we are not all more proficient in the art of converse. l tion when, if we stop to think 1t over we realize that it plays so important q part in ones social life. The first ! point to remember is to try to moder ate the voice. A naturally high pitch ed harsh voice can easily be trained so that eventually it will be soft and musical. Every one appreciates the sweet toned voices of the Englishwom. en. and there is no reason why the voices of the American women should uot be the same if proper attention is paid to their training. says Eliza beth Riddle in the Philadelphia Press.
 We should also try to speak correct ly. avoid all slang and provincialism and enuncfate all the words as clearly as possible. If one wishes to be really entertaining in conversation she must not only have culture and a ready wit, but she must have sympathy, simplic- ity and sincerity and, above all, a real interest in her subject
 The following rules are safe ones to
  follow:
 Look people in the face when you talk to them. Talk often, but neve- long, so as to give others an opport'l nity of expressing their opinions. aai show a courteous respect for anothev's point of view. In arguments give fair play. and if the discussion continues beyond the limit of good taste let the matter drop.
 Sometimes. you know. silence is golden" This is Hnnquestionably true In regard to gossiping.
 Talk of things. not people," Is q safe rule to follow. And if one must talk of people tell of their good quail ties. not their faults and failinGs. In discriminate praise is absurd and weak ems ones judgment.
 If you are easily embarrassed. you should force yourself to talk and be- come accustomed to the sound of your own voice. but do not feel obliged to talk necessarily. Try to be perfectly natural and at ease and always ready with small courtesies. even with chil- dren and servants.
 A sympathetic and responsive listen CT Is as much to be desired as one who can talk well. ..-

To renovate velvet dip a brush in damp sand, rub lightly and the soiled collar or cuff will look like new. It is a cleaning process, too, for the slight moisture removes dust and the harsh action of the sandy friction gives new life to the nap which has been worn down.

SAILS FOR HAMPTON ROADS.
Battleships Will Leave Next Monday
Morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Next
Monday morning the battleship
Maine and Alabama, classed as a
special service squadron, will sail for
Hampton Roads, by way of Honolu-
lu and Points beyond They are the
first vessels to be detected from the
Atlantic fleet and will make the long
cruise home in advance of the flag
ship Connecticut and the others, ar
irving at Hampton Roads on Octo-
Der p. The fleet proper will not be
due at that place until next February.
The dropping OF the Maine from
the fleet is due to the fact that her
steaming radius is limited to about
3,700 miles without re-coaling, and
there is a stretch of about 1000 miles
to negotiat after the ships leave Hon
olulu and before they reach New Zea-
land. The Alabama is to be detach-
ed because of her inferior engines,
which may cause trouble at any time,
although thus far they have kept up
fairly well.

MIRACLE AT SEA.

Henry B. Harris, who is at presen
in London, accomplished a genuine
theatrical miracle at sea when he in
duced the captain of the "Lusitania'
to donate part of the receipts Of the
ship concert to the Actors Fund
rather than to the Seamen's Fund
which has been the custom for many
years. In speaking of this to cor.
respondent in London, Mr.. Harris
said "As you know, | amTreasurer OF
the Actors Fund and | am very much
interested in its welfar. don't wish
to say word against the claims of

is the case in a nutshell. These ship
concerts are given almost entirely by
American artists. They are perfectly
willing to offer their services to any
good charity but they have a charity
of their own, and it seems only fair
that some percentage of the receipts
should be given to the charity which
the performers support 1t so hap

articles OF the Universal Union, how

Postmaster General Meyer believes
this reduction in the rate to the
United Kingdom ultimately will re-
suit in an increase in receipts because
il has been found that reduction in
the letter rate resulted finally in in
creased revenue, He is also of the
opinion that lower postage will lead
to freer commercial intercourse.
Manufacturers, he says, are increas-
ing their sales in England and must
rely to a great extent upon mails for
orders and increase Of trade.

great boon to our adopted and native
