 The company now has a representa- tive out to purchase one large ocean going vessel of about 400 net tons and smaller steamers are also to be placed in the trade. according to advices re- ceived here.
 Weekly trips are to be made between New Orleans. Mobile. Pensacola and Apalachicola. making connection at the latter point with the river boats.
 There are now two steamship lines operating vessels between the above ports but owing to the developments of the country they have been over whelmed with freight, and the pro- motors of the new line believe that a third steamer will be a paying propo- sition.

 The interment was made in a lot we'll up in front of the cemetery, on the main drive. near which white men have been buried since Montgomery was . city. The lot had been bought, and the expenses of the burial de- ,frayed, by citizens who united in rais- ing a purse.

 There were more than a hundred people of each race at the cemetery. to attend the funeral. Among the white men were several of the leading cid- zens of Montgomery.

One little girl. lin gering after the larger portion of the crewd had passed from under the can vas canopy over the grave. dropped a handful which she had gathered from bush nearby, at the head of the grave, and then others did the same.

A small amount remains from the purse which was raised to pay for the funeral. and with this as a nucleus, it is not unlikely that a sum sufficient to pay for a me- morial will be raised within a short while.

WASHING LACE.

The old-fashioned way Of washing
lace on a bottle still meets with ia
vor. The bottle is covered with
clean, white flannel, and the lace
tackled evenly around it. It is then
filled with hot water and placed in 9
basin of warm lather, where the lace
is gently washed by hand. A more
modern way Of using the bottle is to
take a wide necked one, and fill II
three parts full of lukewarm rain.
water, with enough soap jelly dis
solved in it to make a lather. In this
the soiled lace is put. The bottle il
corked or covered at the mouth with
a cloth, and churned vigorously till
the lace is clean; the result will be
obtained more quickly if it has been
STEPPED in cold water for several
days. The lace may then be poured
out OF the bottle and we'll rinsed, to
get rid CT the soap. Even chiffon
can be satisfactorily washed in this
way. To stiffen lace pass it through
cold water to which gum water has
been added. Half a teaspoonful to a
pint will be enough for fine lace; for
chiffon, make it about eight times as
strong. - Domestic Science Cook

SILK SPLIT.

Many complaints are heard over
the counter to the effect that silk gar
ments, some of which have been worn
very little, seem to split. The very
worst thing for silk is heat, and Oft
times a wardrobe is built where a
chimney runs right back of it or a
radiator is too near, so the silk crum-
bles. Many wholesalers have holes
drilled in the walls for ventilation in
winter, if their silks are near any ex-
cessive heat, and manufacturers that
have a heavy stock in summer always
place it in cold storage. Cereain COL
ors are more %perishable than others.

the protection of all.-Trenton True
