Hints on Mending Clothes.


 The mending of masculine garments al- ways makes considerable demands on the skill of the needlewoman, rents in tail ored goods being particularly difficult to repair, whilst even buttons require diff ferent attention to what Is usually given to feminine garments says our English Cousin' in an article on this practical subject.
 A tailor always gives l button "stem" when sewing it to a coat, so that the buttonhole may slip easily over it. good plan in order to raise the button sufficiently so as to leave room for the false shank is that of cutting a ring of cardboard a little larger than the button, removing the center. This mag be slipped between it and the material, the needle, being passed through the hole in the cen- ter while the thickness of the cardboard prevents the thread from being drawn too taut When finished the ring should be broken away, and the shank of cotton strengthened by several winds of cotton and buttonhoed once or twice.
 In the case of a severe dog-ear' cut in a tweed garment, the best method by which to darn it Is that of unravelling a little of the material as seam-undoing a piece of the coat lining will usually reveal a spare piece of stuff-and using It with which to draw the severed edges together
 Horsehair can often be employed with success in repairing rough country suits, if no unravellings can be procured. the horsehair being threaded through needle in the ordinary way and worked in and out of the material.

Culinary Crafts.

For the convenience of the housewife writer suggests some simple means of overcoming annoying little grievances in the culinary department. For instance:
 If cakes should stick to the pans, put hot cloth on the bottom for a minute or two. If papers are used sticking is in- frequent.
 IT rolls stick to the pan they can be put back on the top of the stove for a minute or two. when they come out cas- fly.
 When cooking with old apples at this season of the year add a little lemon juice to give flavor. Summer apples need nothing but sugar.
 Bottles that must be air tight should have the corks dipped in melted paraffin until thoroughly coated

Now We Lay Us Down to
 Sleep.

By the late Louise Chandler Moulton. We lay us down to sleep,
 And leave to God the rest, Whether we wake and weep Or wake no more be best. Some faithful friends we've found, But they who love us best, When we are underground
 Will laugh on with the rest. No task we have begun
 But other hands can take, No work beneath the sun,
 For which we need awake. Then hold us fast, sweet Death, If so 1t seemed best, To Him who gave us breath
 That we should go to rest.

To Keep Hair Light.

If we have light hair as the years ad- vance, it is more than apt to grow dark er Most suggestions for preserving the natural color are not only injurious, but make the hair so dry and crisp as to render it almost artificial looking. A shampoo which will absolutely do no harm, and yet go long way towards preserving the color of light hair, is made Of raw egg, a teaspoonful of powdered borax, half teaspoonful of violet ann monia and a quarter of teaspoonful of subcarbonate of potash. Beat we'll to- gether and then stir into quart of warm water. Wet the scalp and hair thoroughly, massagng at the same time. Use no soap.

ABOUT EYE STRAIN.
Some of the Many Things That
 Leads To.

It is difficult to realize that the rela- tion of eye strain to headaches and other functional disorders was not ap- preciated by physicians until within 30 years ago. If an otherwise healthy person complains of headache the chances are defective vision Is the cause, says a recent writer In the American Medical Association Jour nal. These ocular headaches come on at any age, but are very frequent between six and twelve. A peculiar feature about them, however, is that they are indistinguishable in character and position from headaches due to any other indlsposltion.
 The extent of defective vision among children Is indicated by the statistics of 420 children. mostly in the minor grades. whose eyes were examined for defective eyesight Of this number about one-quarter had serious defects and required glasses while only 40 per cent. possessed per feet vision and exhibited no ocular symptoms. In another series of rec ords compiled in Berlin 1t appears tha, more than 70 per cent. of all the chill dren have refractive errors, indicating imperfect vision.
 It Is asserted that the defective eye. sight plays an important part ir school efficiency, and the fact Is ad. duced to prove this that in the Der. lin schools the number of children with imperfect vision shows a de. creased ratio from the lower to the higher grades.
 Indeed, physicians are now won to ascribe bodily disturbances to eyt strain. It Is pointed out in supper of this contention that so per cent of the patients of the National Hospi tai for Epileptics, in London. have serious ocular lesions The records o the Elmira Reformatcry for Youns Criminals show that nearly 50 pei cent. of the inmates are similarly af flicted with eye troubles.
 One of the most curious functional disorders due 10 eye strain is that re ported by physician writing in tn, Medical Record, who declares that re curing colds" are often due to ey, strain. He asserts that one of hi friends gets "cold" whenever th, frames of his glasses, for compound astigmatism, are bent It is even as serted that nervous coughs are fire ouently due. according to the sam, authority, to the lack of the oculist, attention

THE WORK AND THE WORKER.

few weeks ago there occurred in one of our New England factory towns an event of peculiar significance in these days of grave and perplexing problems. It was the funeral of fac- tory worker-an old woman who had never in her life received more than a dollar and a half day.
 In 1881 she entered the emnlov of the company, and in the forty-six years since that time had missed but five days from her machine. When. after long service, the company offered to retire her. she refused,
 When they wished to raise her pay she refused again, saying that her work was worth no more than she was receiving. Receiving less than five bun- dred dollars a year, she had worked happily. lived contentedly. and even saved goodly sum.
 When she died the factory was clos ed for an entire day, and it's officers. from the president down, and the thousand employees followed her to her grave.
 III dIl dSt Ntitii tiip HldtbTldl uG- mands of life are increasing so rapidly that yesterdays luxuries are to-day's necessities, it gives one pause to dis cover with how small means the great things, joy in work. content, honor, may still be won if the soul is resolute,
 To have more than we use, we are told, is riches; to refuse offered aid is power; to work for pride in ones work is joy. All these-easily-fo less than five hundred year; and all these be- cause this quiet worker had learned the great secret that the true wealth is in the faithful doing of the work, not in the dollars it brings.
 It is an old lesson, but one that can- not be graven too deeply upon our heart. To put oneself into ones work, looking for reward in the joy of hay ing place in the worlds labor, of in- creasing efficiency in the task, of wld- ening opportunities for acceptance or refusal, of deepening comprehension of the meaning of wonk, this is to master one of the greatest arts of life.- l Youths Companion,

will march upon a cabinet minister at his office or in his castle. or break into and strive to break up an cleo ton meeting. An order upon one of the docile enthusiasts to go and get yourself arrested is obeyed with es- pecial zeal. From Lands End to John O'Groat's the country has had opportunity to get acquainted with these active spirits and has learned to fear them.
 Adding a strange terror to current political life as they do, these women are yet not taken so seriously as they would wish to be. They are not ar rested so often as they would like to be. The London crowds enjoy their encounters with the police without being aroused to any more sympathy for the women than for the hari- pressed representatives of the laws majesty. It is recognized that the nui- sance they make of themselves has its serious side. especially as 1t is coming to be tiresome to everybody but the mobs. The police court judges are growing fretful with the accumulation of cases of their breaches of the peace; for, despite well-considered purpose to avoid making martyrs of these eager missionaries. 1t is impos- sible to get along without arresting some of them.

BOSTON AND THE NEGRO.
Having Gained Liberty, He Must
 Shift for Himself.

One of the first things that struck me when I began studying race condi- tions in the North was the position of the better class of white people with regard to the negro. In the South ev- cry white man and woman has wig orous and vital opinion on the race question. You have only to apply the match. the explosion is sure to fol- low It is not so in the North. few of the older people still preserve some thing of the wartime sentiment for the negro: but the people one ordinarily meets don't know anything about the negro. don't discuss him, and don't care about him.
 In Boston, of all places, I expected does exist among some of the older men and women. but I was surprised at the general attitude which I en- countered. It was one of hesitation and withdrawal Summed up, I think the feeling of the better class of people in Boston (and elsewhere in northern cities) might be thus stated:
 We have helped the negro to liber- ty; we have helped to educate him; we have encouraged him to stand on his own feet Now let's see what he can do for himself. After all he must survive or perish by his own efforts.
 In short. they have least the bant- ling on the rocks"
 Though they still preserve the form of encouraging the negro, the spirit seems to have fed Not long ago the negroes of Boston organized concert at which Theodore Drury, a colored musician of really notable accomplish ments, was to appear. Aristocretic white people were appealed to and bought a considerable number of tick cts: but on the evening of the concert the large block of seats purchased by white people were conspicuously va cant. Northern white people would seem to be more interested in the dis. tant Southern negro than in the negro at their doors.
 Superficially. at least, the negro ir Boston still enjoys the widest freedom but after one gets down to real con. ditions he finds much complaint ana alarm on the part of negroes oyel growing restrictions.-Ray Stannart Baker, in American Magazine.

GAYLE.

The announcement was published
yesterday that "Neignbor'' Gayle is
a candidate for reelection as Probate
Clerk and Recorder. MI. Gayle has
been il the office a long time; but it
was always by election of the people,
and there is no use trying to go be-
hind that verdict. If a majority of
the Democrats of Chaves county want
Mr.. Gayle to continue in office, he
will be nominated at the primary and
will then be elected at the polls. The
editor of the Record believes that ro-
tatio1 in office is a good policy. But
if the Democrats of this county be-
lieve that a man whose qualifications
have been proven is best for the Of
fee of County Clerk, then that will
be the policy of the Democratic party
for this campaign, though its policy
may be changed by the voters at the
next election. There is absolutely no
question that ''Neighbor'' Gayle is a
competent and faithful officer and
on his merits he will be elected if he
gets the nomination.

CAPTAIN NJ. J. FRITZ.

Captain N. J. Fritz has announced
himself a candidate for reelection to
the office of County Commissioner
from the Third district. He is now
serving his first term. He did not
want the office when first elected; but
since getting in and taking part in
the work of building bridges and
making other important improvements
he would like to serve another term
until the board finishes the adjust
ment of tax matters and completes
other work pending.
Captain Fritz was baptized a Demo
crat in Kentucky, and o the third
degree of Democracy in Texas De-
fore coming to New Mexico. His home
is at Hagerman, where he is engaged
in farming and owns a drug store and
other town property. He was once
mayor of Hagerman, and is one of
the most popular men in the south
part of the county.

The resolution to investigate the
charges made by DR.. Parsons as to
sanitary conditions was all buncombe
in the first place. 1t was introduced
in the council by the editor of the
local Republican organ in the hope
that in some way it might be used
against the Daily Record. Doctors with
ordinary horse sense did not consider
the article of DR.. Parsons worthy of
serious notice. The best way to dis
pose of such complaints is to print
them and let the public draw its own
conclusions People who stand around

seeking free advertising-and some
times they get more of it than they
