TO CLEAN FEATHERS.

If one desires to have feathers rem
ovated and does not wish to be robbed
by feather renovators, they may be
easily cleaned at home. There are
reliable firms who clean feathers, but
the men who drive through the coun-
try protesting to do such work are
apt to be frauds.
The great objection to doing this
work at home is handling a heavy
tick. Another objection is the trouble
of drying the feathers, but both of
these may be easily overcome.
Though many people consider feath-
er beds unhealthy and out of style,
they are used in many country homes
and are very comfortable for winter
nights. OF course the feathers should
be clean and in clean ticks, or they
are nhealthy.
When making a feather bed, first
put the feathers into a thin muslin
slip just the size of the tick and slip
the tick over this. When the tick be-
comes soiled it can be washed with
out the trouble of dealing with loose
feathers. The feathers in the thin
tick can be washed without taking
out, by putting in a tub of warm wat
er and washing on board as ordin-
airy clothes. Make the water soapy
before putting in the feathers. Rinse
in clean water and hang on the line.
On warm windy day they will be
dry in few hours and be as light and
fluffy as ever.
After the feathers are clean and
dry it is easy to put the clean heavy
ticks over them. Pillows may be
treated in the same fashion as they
really become soiled sooner than
feather beds. If your feather beds
are made in the old style it will pay
you to get the feathers into thin slips
the first time the ticks are washed

WHITE BEDsTEADs.

The cheapest of white enamel bed
steads may be made attractive with
dainty and at the same time inexpen-
sive trappings.. II one is only wise
enough to select a bedstead with sim
pie, graceful lines and one in which
the expense lies in the quality of the
enamel used, instead of in brass or
naments, the reward will be great.
The plain. graceful white enameN
bedsteads minus brass knobs and
scrolls, minus scrolls of all kinds, Just
heavy enough to be firm and practi-
cable without being clumsy, are both
sanitary and pretty in dainty, light
bedroom. Combined with white en-
amel furniture nothing could be pref
tier. If one wishes to have the rest
of the furniture painted light, deli
cate gray, lavender, pale green, ETC.,
and artistically stencilled, the bea
may be made to match. Unless some
definite color scheme of this kind is
to be carried out throughout the
room, however, it is better to- have
plain white bedstead than a coll
ored one.-Harper's Bazaar.

of Offence and Defence.

ance of exterior armor to the attack
of twenty-one-inch torpedoes. It may
develop that the armor now used will
not exclude torpedoes, in which event
the disclosure would be disconcert-
ing, to say the least. 1t would have
| its value, however, in showing to
what extent and in what direction
improvements must be installed to
give exterior armor its necessary
power to resist such form of naval
attack.
It is also proposed to ascertain
whether the turrets as now con-
structed and equipped on battleships
will withstand the impact of heavy
projectiles at battle ranges. 1t is a
question whether there will not be
under such an attack material dam
age to the structure itself, to the
sights, the, electric and other gun
gear contained in the turrets. 1t is
important in this connection to as
certain whether the sights now in
stalled on the twelve-inch turret
would be permanently disabled by
six-inch gun fire. which demonstra-
ton would show whether it is neces-
sary to design a turret that can be
disabled only by heavy gun fire.
One of the important experiments
will be with movable water planes in
stalled on the sides of a battleship,
operated automatically, so as to d.
minish the roll of vessel, and so i'm
prove the accuracy of gun fire in time
Of battle. The record target practice
of the Atlantic fleet this summer will
be with the vessels rolling, so as to
ascertain If the target could be hit
under the most adverse conditions at
sea in time of war. 1t is also desir-
able to ascertain if under such unfav-
orable conditions it would be posi-
BILE to offset the influence of the sea
and contribute to the stability of the
ship as a gun platform. It is appre-
ciated that anything which improves
craftsmanship on beard ship is d.
rect and vital contribution to the
fighting power of the navy.
These are only few of the sub
jects which will be taken up by the
naval ordnance officers during this
fiscal year. No previous announce
ment will be made of the expert
ments, most of which are likely to be
conducted at the naval proving
ground at Indian Head, Maryland.
The tests will be made solely with
the view Of obtaining information for
the Navy Department and no an
nouncement of the results will be
made.

sidered the only suitable occupation
for royalty's fingers, but Queen Will

public meetings, that is worse still.
There Is, too much of a crowd, one Is

remain ever so little 'coQuette."
And what an odor--tobacco and alco-
hol! Our women are too refined, too

quired after much practice. The
Latin woman, in word, knows her
.ascendency over man; aud she un-
derstands, without requiring vote
for herself, how to get him to vote as
she wishes, Why, then, should she
take the trouble Of going to the poll
ing booth in person? The Anglo
Saxon woman, on the other hand, has
none of these motives Of coquetry, of
Incidence and Of influence over men
for abstaining from her civic duties.
She wraps herself in an umbrella
cover, walks about all day, taking
strides like grenadier, and, If called
upon, knows how to use her fists. AS
to her influence over the men, one
fact will suffice to establish its ma
ture: If by any chance woman Of
the Anglo-Saxon race happens to be
left the only one Of her sex in rail-
way carriage, all the men take to
their heels lest one Of them should be
seized, hailed before a clergyman and
compelled to marry her. 1t Is there
fore easy to understand why they
should desire to make their own laws.

The coming season is heralded az
a season Of color.
Some of the new parasols have long
Directoire handles.
Jet chains are popular with lockets
Of the same material.
Many corduroy walking suits are
seen in the new shades
There are waists Of colored linen
to match the cloth skirt.
Many of the attractive trimmings
show a touch of gold or silver.
The black satin slipper is becoming
very popular for evening wear.
Some Of the new lingerie has slight
touches Of colored embroidery.
Fringe Of every description is to
be worn a great deal upon the new
hats.
Blouses for day wear are being
made in fine, soft material, woven
with silk stripes
For dressy frocks chiffon cloth is
very nice. 1t washes and wears much
better than chiffon.
The sleeves of new blouses are gem
orally gathered leg-o-mutton, made
to fit close to the arm.
Coarse cotton nets that showed
signs Of popularity last season are
largely in evidence again.
Hair ornaments which are strongly
suggestive of conch shells are among
the novelties. They are worn over
either ear.
In the dainty tints there comes
flannel weave of silk and. wool blend
that makes UP the loYeliest waists
and negligees.
For evening dresses there is a
sparkling fringe. 1t is carried out in
crystals and silver, in rhinestones and
mother-of-pearl.
1t is decreed that lines must be
UP and down, and that neith-
or skirt nor jacket shall show the
slightest coquetry.
Colored sash ribbons and gauze
and tinsel ribbons are to be reckoned
with as an important and not mex
pensive item Of the wardrobe.

brought out many new and attractive
ways of using the garnitures, but

SPANISH oLD-FAsHIoNED.

English women have recently been
agitating for the right to vote and
all that that entails. Spanish women,
on the other hand, will have none OF
it. A literary countrywoman of King
Alfonso not long ago organized a
referendum of her sisters on the sub
ject, with this result-that by 3640
votes to 922 the women declared that
they did not want vote. This will
surprise only those who do not know
the English woman and the woman
of the Latin countries. The differ
ence between them is fundamental.
The French woman and the Spanish
woman especially take little interest
In politics, and they will certainly
give themselves no trouble to under
stand it. Those who by their merit
or their beauty have succeeded in
gaining a position of comfort are gem
orally quite willing to leave to their
husbands al the worries and the
cares of life. To leave their cool
villas in summer or their warm apart

Washington, D. C.-The expert
nents in naval ordnance. for which
the last naval appropriation act con-
tains an appropriation of 100000,
now available, will be conducted in
secret For some time the naval ord
nance officers have been anxious to
conduct certain tests which require
much expense, and which could not
be made out of the usual allotment
for the naval bureau of ordnance. 1t
was not expected that Congress would
make provision for such purpose,
largely for the reason that objection
prevailed in some quarters to the ex-
penditure of public funds in direc-
lions which did not always show tang
IDLE results. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the beneficial effect of
the tests would be no less real mere
1y because new material was not be-
ing acquired. There was much in
the way of theory which it was de-
sired to supplant by actual knowledge
obtainable only by tests. So many
questions have arisen among the ex-
perts as to the relative efficiency of
various elements of offence and de-
fence that they are highly gratified
to have an opportunity to settle them.
One of the most important tests is
that which will show whether the
armor now being placed on American
battleShips will resist the projectiles
of high power guns at battle ranges.
Guns are now fired in tests at short
range with velocities which are esti-
mated to equal that which would
exist If the distance were what is
known as battle range. 1t is as
serted by many that the arInor will
not serve its purpose. Actual expert
ments in firing at such ranges against
armor supported in the same manner
as on battleship have never been
carried ont, and no one knows what
the actual effect will be.
Another question is whether high
explosive shells will have the effect
claimed for them and whether the
pressure of the gases of such vio-
lent explosion will blow in the armor
side of battleship. Then, too, it is
desired to know what will be the ma
terial effect of such explosives on the
personnel and whether the structure
of the ship will stand it. Connected
with such an experiment is the de-
termination of the maximum depth
TO which twelve-inch she'll will pen
citrate the water at battle ranges and
the effect of the explosions on the
underwater body. Tests will also be
conducted to determine the resist

toppled into the sea from time to time
with reverberations like thunder.
Water splashed fifty feet high at each
fall and the sight was fascinating.
To-day the glacier assumes a differ
ent aspect. Erosion has worked out
a new bay, which WILSON be charted,
and the glacier itself seems to have
two parts, the live part, from which
icebergs break and fall with tremen-
dous noise, and dead arm, with land
forming between it and the sea.
This change is due to hill which
projected through the top of the ice
when Professor Muir was there. Now
that hilltop is large mountain di-
viding the ice fields. The ice has also
receded four miles in the nine years.
