When the Umbrella Took Fire.

Thomas Simpson, the Detroit MALE
able iron man. is a grave and dlgnlled
person, but once he made a joke.
He was sitting with a party OF
friends, one of whom was smoking an
enormous cigar. The friend had dh-
fculty in keeping the cigar going, ana
by his repeated lightings had frazzled
the end of it until It was about twice
it's original size. But he kept bravery
at it.
Suddenly Simpson began to laugh.
What are you laughing at, Tom?
asked another member Of the party.

CONSERVATIVES Need Not Leave Home

Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested. in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
of cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex
clude INDECENT consumptives or II

If an iron Is not at hand when mark

Garments that are to be hung out
to air can be put on hangers rather
than pinned to the line. This pre-
vents sagging or marking with clothes

Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-pearl
should never be cleaned with soap and

If, when using lemon for favoring,
you need only half one, put the
other half on a plate and cover with
a glass tumbler. This excludes the

TWO USEFUL HINTS ON RUGS.
Good Imitation of Indian Weave-An-
other Made Like Rag Carpet.


An Imitation of an Indian Rug.-Cut
wool or silk rags as for carpet weav-
ing; sew together several balls of
solid colors, such as red and black;
sew all other rags hit or miss. ="
Crochet In Afghan stitch one strip Of
solid about half a yard wide inserting
crosses of contrasting colors as you
proceed. If knitted, the middle strip
might be in Roman stripe effect Now
make two strips about three inches
wide of hit or miss" and sew on
either side Of the wide middle strip.
For the outside edge have strips three
or four inchs wide of solid color. No
fringe or finish OF any kind is needed.
A coarse bodkin, threaded with the
rags. is used for sewing the strips to-
gether. The result is exceedingly at
tractive.
Chenille Woven Rugs.-Take all
your wooden rags and cut and sew as
for rag carpet Wind every color
separately. The borders are made Of
black and red rags, and sometimes a
little green, and for the center any
other color will do 1t takes FIVE
pounds to one square yard; that is, a
rug 60%x3 inches makes a good size
rug For the border of the above size
it takes IL pounds of black and one
pound of red The price of weaving is
about Is cents a square foot.

WASHING Brushes.

1t is best not to put ones heavy
backed silver brush into common use
for the hair. At least not in cities
where the soot-laden atmosphere
leaves coating of itself on the hair
each day.
This Is caught by the bristles of the
brush, which makes 1t necessary to
wash 1t at least twice a week If not
oftener.
This constant washing ruins a brush
that has an expensive back. Therefore
brush should be used that has an
ordinary wooden handle and back with
good stiff bristles TO withstand the
softening action of water and borax.

Use for Old Sewlno Machine

If you live where 1t is handy to get
an old sewing machine without the
top (and they can be had for about
twenty-five or fifty cents) 1t will make
a splendid washstand for the kitchen.
Have all machinery removed, paint
the stand color to match the kitchen,
cover the top with board the size
needed, and cover neatly with white
oil cloth. The little drawers serve to
hold tacks, hammer, iron holders,
stove polishing brushes, etc. 1t is very
useful and the stands without the ma
chine drawers make excellent flower
stands for heavy potted plants.
