Use For Old Sheets.

A very good use to put old sheets
TO is the following: Tear them in half
and tack up behind the best gown in
your closet, against the wall. The
other half sew small brass curtain
tings to and hang over the gowns.
In this way they are protected in the
front and back from dust, and they
will also keep from fading by being
exposed to the light If the colors are
delicate shades. Old sheets are very
good when packing to the diff.
terent trays of the trunk, and 80 pro-
tect clothes from dust which often
times will slip into trunks.-Newark

Copying the English Garden.

There is one good result of all this
invasion of English society by Ameri-
can women. One of the finest things
in the land of Shakespeare and the
suffragette is the characteristic Eng
Iish garden, and the American women
who have wandered across the Allan
tic in search of social excitement have
adopted the English garden as their
own. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has set
her mind upon a typical garden for
her Newport home, and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney and Mrs. John R..
Dre1el are among others who have
the same plan in view. The change
will be welcome, especially as it will
drive out the hard Italian gardens
with their out-of-place statuary, and
the japanese gardens with their fool
ish stone decorations. 1t is not
strange that the garden as 1t grows
in England has caught the fancy of
American women, for it is just what

Her Figure Saved.

Age begins to tell after sixty. One
aust dress to meet it. There is no
reason for the figure to lose its
straightness or its good lines. These
deplorable conditions are always due
to incidence. Lazy women will tell
you they are due to sickness; but the
real reason lies in lack of endeaVor
and the will to keep ones self erect.
The present-day women, who are be-
tween seventy and eighty years old,
and were trained in a school OF de-
pertinent that compelled them to
walk, stand and sit. correctly, are as
straight and shapely as many of our
younger women. 1t was the lnterme-
date generation that went to pieces.
Women of this age should never
think of wearing any colors but
white, black shades Of violet and soft
gray. They should avoid anything
with tones of blue, brown, red and
green. They should cling to white
for every hour that it is possible to
wear it.
Stiff linens are not for them, nor
heavy cotton, but soft muslin in all
it's forms. Embroidery Of every kind
can be worn as we'll as lace, but age
must never tamper with inferior
quality of either.
If her neck has the fullness that
age often gives she can we'll adapt
the present-day collars Of soft fine
lingerie that roll back from the neck
band and are fastened with a brooch
at a slight point in the front.
The old-fashioned way of cutting
a blouse to a V in front and edging
it with ruching is still one of the gen.
eral fashions. The empire gowns
with long full skirts make the best
models for clothes. Elbow sleeves
are always pretty when a woman has
q nice arm.
As for headgear, that must remain
a woman's own choice. The old.
fashioned bonnet is quite out of style,
but in its place there is a small hat
of soft Neapolitan straw or horsehair
trimmed with flowers.
A woman may add soft strings OF
satin to tie under the chin, but as a
rule this is not done.-NeW Haven

A "Pilot Boat Fry"

The pilots have every facility for
securing the freshest of salt water
fish, and one Of them says the only
way to fry fish is to have pork fat
enough to submerge the fish, and fry
the pieces as you would doughnuts.
They must not be allowed to stick to
the frying pan and be broken up. In
other words, the slices are to be
boiled in very hot pork fat until a
uice brown.

SENATE DRAWBACK PLAN FAILS
CONFEREES EXPECTED TO RE-
PORT TO REJECT IT.

The subcommittee OF the tariff confer
ence expects to report the new draw
back provision some time today or to-
morrow.
The indications are that the confer
ence will reject the Senate provision
that the drawback shall not be allowed
their by products.
The advocates of this provision, it is
said. would be willing to have that fea-
ture eliminated If the requirement of
the present law-that imported products
shall be identified when offered for ex-
ports continued SO far as 1t relates to
wheat, wheat flour and the other agricul-
tural products named. This would neces-
state wheat being ground In bonded
mills in order to get the benef1t OF the
drawback provision.
The contest Is an old one, between the
farmer and the miller.
When the conferees began their session
today they continued consideration or the
agricultural product schedule. The wool
en- and silk schedules were discussed at
length.
1t was stated when the recess was TAX
en- at lis pm. that the conferees ex-
pected to complete the consideration OF
the silk schedule before adjournment to-
night. Nothing was passed upon finally
in the wool schedule, the subject being
generally discussed from the revenue
standpoint.
Several items in the metal schedule
were disposed Of. 1t seems probable that
the Senate substitute for the silk sched-
ule of the House bill will be agreed to in
its entirety by the House conferees.
A committee consisting of Senators
Warren and Carter and one of the House
conferees probably will be appointed to
consider the entire wool schedule.

NEW YORK. July 16.-It is not every
day that the police get such a bite on

trip west
Since the early days of the Sigel affair,
when arrests of Leon Ling suspects were
of daily occurrence in all regions, from

business without fear of arrest.
Therefore a report that Chinaman an
swering Ling's description is in custody

ground for hope.

nothing convincing about this communi-
cation

For anything that the police of the
western town had discovered up to that

into difficulties through constitutional
reticence.
Then came confirmatory messages. The
Shipman detectives had made a new dis
covery which convinced them that they

known. He did state today, however,
that on the receipt of this more conclu-
sive intelligence two days ago he sent
Detective Forbes to Shipman. accom-
panied by a man who was well ac-
Quainted with Leon and who would be
able to identify him positively.
Not only did Inspector McCafferty re-
fuse to say whether the man accompany
ing Detective Forbes was Chinaman or
a Caucasian, but he even declined to
make known when Forbes will return
with the prisoner, If the latter shall prove
to be Ling.

When the American caught sight of

to have suspected the American of some

RUSSIA NOT ADVISED.
Subsequent Advices Cause Doubt Of
Shah's Abdication.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 18.-The for
eign Office at late hour this afternoon
expressed doubt concerning the accuracy
OF the news dispatches from Teherar
saying that the Shah of Persia had taken
refuge at the Russian legation.
A dispatch received from NJ Sabelin,
filed at Teheran this morning, one hour
later than the news dispatches in ques-
ton. does not mention the fact that the
shah has sought refuge with the Russian
diplomat, but does indicate that the
shah's position had then scarcely reached
the point of utter hopeiessness that would
Justify his fleeing TO the legation.
A telegram from NJ Sabelin timed 10
o'clock this morning. asked for exact in
structions in the matter of the treatment
to be given the shah If he sought Russian
protection.
These were repeated and were to the
effect that his person should be protected
and he he furnished with an escort to
the frontier. NJ. Sabeln calling upon the
Russian troops at Kasvin should this be
necessary.
