How to Clean Velvet Hats.

Velvet hats can be cleaned and re-
stored under the following treatment:
Gently rub light blue velvet with a
flannel previously dipped in kerosene,
or If the material be soiled in spots
only rub with a little butter. The
wrong side requires drawing over a
hot iron In order to raise the pile.
Some people have also succeeded very
well by just brushing with cornmeal
until the soil was removed. Your
black and colored velvets if not dirty,
but only creased, can be freshened by
holding wrong side down close to, but
not on, hot flatiron on which has
first been placed a damp cloth, the
steam eradicating the creases and rails
ing the pile. When 1t has been
steamed all over remove the wet cloth
and draw the velvet on the, wrong side
over the iron to dry it. Milliners do
it just that way.

Prominent Man Goes to State Prison.

William H. Skillman, the former
president of the New Jersey Horticul-
tural Society, who barricaded his
house, near Blawenburg, N. j., and
said that he would never be taken
alive when he heard two weeks ago
that the Supreme Court had upheld
his five years sentence for forging the
will of William Lanehart, was taken
after lively fight.
Sheriff Frank Ross and Detective
George e. Totten, of Somerset county,
went to the Skillman Fruit Farm, near
Blawenburg, and were met by the old
mans son, Jerry who refused to let
them in.
They managed to get past the son,
and near the house another son and
son-in-law stopped them again. There
was a russell at the door, in which the
Sheriff was handled roughly, but the
two men got inside, and found Skill
man protected by his wife and daugh-
ter. Skillman, who is 20 years old,
refused at first to go with Ross and
the officer, and they were obliged to
threaten to drag him away before he
consented to leave. They took him to
the State Prison, atTrenton, and de-
livered him over to begin his sentence.
The arrest and subsequent sentence
of Skillman created a great deal of
interest in the community where he
lived. In May, 1905, a month or more
after the death of his friend and
neighbor, William Lanehart, Skillman
filed for probation in the Somerville
surrogates Office what purported to
be the last will of Lanehart. Shortly
afterwards another will was filed by
John M. Race, cashier of the Hopewell
National Bank, at Hopewell, N. j., in
the will, which Skillman filed, one
half of hte Lanehart estate, estimated
at$19, 600, was in his favor.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Its Fearful and Deadly Work In the
Bremerhaven Explosion.

Bremerhaven Explosion.
The greatest fatality ever caused by
an internal machine is known as the
Bremerhaven explosion, and it occur.
red near the end of 1875, when a fell
low who called himself Thomas and
was said to be an American took up
his residence with his family in Brem-
en-. His finances were at low ebb,
and to replenish them he conceived the
idea of sending to America soma
worthless but highly insured packages
of goods. By the same vessel he in
tended to ship an internal machine,
which was to have exploded a few
days after the vessel had left port.
The explosion occurred, however, just
before the package was put on board,
causing terrible loss of life.
Thomas, whose real name was said
to be Alexander, charged his machine
with nitroglycerin, which he had pro-
cured in America and purchased the
cloekwork and the case containing the
machine in Germany. The hammer Of
the clockwork, which was toJact in six
days after leaving port, was to strike
blow of thirty pounds weight. In
his confession later Thomas said that
when testing the clockwork the ham,
mer smashed a mahogany table.
He sent the contrivance to Bremen
haven to be shipped on the Mosel for
New York via Southampton. He him
self took passage to the latter port,
where he had arranged to ship his
cases of rubbish for New York. The
Mosel was to leave Bremerhaven on
Saturday, Dec. II, and on that day
the internal machine was sent to the
dock, which was crowded with porters,
passengers and their friends For some
reason that has never been explained
the heavy case slipped from the crane
on to the wharf as it was being lifted
up the ships side, and the charge was
instantly exploded Death and destruc-
ton were dealt around, 1913 men, wo-
men and children being instantly
killed, while fifty-six others were ter
ribly wounded.
Thomas was waiting on board the
ship to receive his case and see it
slowed away in the hold, but right aft
er the explosion he went to his cabin,
locked the door and shot himself in the
head with a revolver.
He fingered for several days in the
hospital and made full confession be-
fore he died.-Exchange

How to Get a Tight Ring Off.

When a ring has become too tight
for the finger, as will often happen
among growing children, instead Of
using the old method of filing take a
piece of common Irvine, insert one end
under the ring toward the hand, the
other end wind closely around the
finger until over the joint, and pro-
coed to wind with the end back of the
ring, and If done correctly the highest
ring will come off easily.

FIGHTING THE SCALE.
Hew to Destroy tho Fatal Enemy Of
Shrubs and Trees.

Hcw to Destroy tho Fatal Enemy Of
Shrubs and Trees.
Nearly all our fruit trees and lots Of
our Towering shrubs, notably such as
the Towering ounce, towering plum,
ETC., are infested with the San Jose
scale. 1t means sure death to the plant
If it cannot be removed entirely.
March is the best of months to at
tack it.
You may be certain that it is there
If you see any part of woody plant
covered with a minute silver grayish
incrustation that looks almost like part
of the bark. Scrape it with the finger
nail, and 1t will come away and ex-
pose the real smooth brown bark I'M
derneath.
If there is only little of it on
plant, shrub or tree it can be removed
with the back Of a knife. Whether
you remove much or little take care
to put sheet underneath. so that no
scale will fall to the ground. 1t will
simply climb back on the plant again
or, worse still, spread to others. Shake
the sheet into the fire. 1t is the only
sure death to this fatal insect.
Even if the plant is infested In only
small portion, so far as you can see,
it will not be enough to scrape it. 1t
will need scrubbing or spraying just
as If the whole plant were infested
To cleanse a growth that is thor
oughly affected spread sheet on the
ground under it. Make thick, sting
ing lather with whale oil or even COM
mon kitchen soap and hot water and
scrub the whole plant, beginning at
the top, with the stiffest kind of
scrubbing brush or wire brush IL
you can get one.
Scrub till every part of the bark
shines out smooth and brown. Do not
fear to let the lather run down the
tree and into the earth. 1t will kill
other grubs there as well as any scale
that have begun to gather around the
base
After the scrubbing mix a kerosene
emulsion by dissolying about quar-
of boiling water. When thoroughly
dissolved, stir in one gallon of kero-
sene and mix until the stuff looks like
buttermilk. Put about cupful of this
into about five pints of cold water and
apply it with spray pump or paint it
on with brush till the tree is COM
pletely coated.
If this process does not destroy the
scale, give it one or two more treat
ments with the emulsion during
March. If the scale covers the plant
again and it gets pretty sick during
the summer, rip it out to the last root
and burn it. 1t will be better to lose
the one plant than to have the whole
garden infested Be sure to burn
every vestige of the sick plant. Don't
throw it somewhere and trust to luck.
If the scale is really bad and has at
tackled most of your woody shrubs, it
will be necessary to apply lime and
sulphur wash. which is best bought
ready mixed from dealers.

A CRATER TOWN.
Where the Inhabitants Build Ships In
side Extinct Volcanoes.

Where the Inhabitants Build Ships In
side Extinct Volcanoes.
Saba, in the West Indies, is one of
the most extraordinary places in the
world. BY courtesy it is called an is
land, but it is really nothing more than
the summit of an extinct volcano stick
ing up out of the sea-
Inside the crater live the only fnhab-
itants of Saba They live there because
there is nowhere else for them to live,
the outside slopes being nearly as
steep as the sides of a house.
The place belongs to Holland, and
the people are all Dutch Nevertheless
they speak English as their native
tongue. They call their crater town
Bottom because it is situated on the
top of a mountain.
Although surrounded on all sides by
the sea, they often spend weeks with
out seeing it, for that involves long
climb up to the rim Of the crater. Still
less frequently do they touch salt
water, because to do so they must, in
addition, climb downward for dis
lance Of 1,5o0 feet by a precipitous
rock hewn path known as 1.-THE lad
DER
It is, however, In regard to their sta
pie industry that these Dutch people
who speak English and who live aloft
in volcano in a summit city called
Bottom reach the extreme of topsy-
turveydom. One might imagine them
making balloons or kites or in fact,
anything but what they do make,
which is ships-not ocean going liners,
but good, serviceable schooners and
luggers, whose repute is great all over
the Windward islands. The ships
when finished have to be hauled up
to the rim Of the crater and then
lowered over precipice into the sea-

LIMBERlNG STIFF JOINTS.
How This Distress May Be Relieved by
Simple Remedies.

That old remedy, beloved Of oul
grandmothers goose grease-is still
considered an excellent cure for stiff
joints. Probably the friction and hard
rubbing have more to do with the cure
than the special variety of grease, and
If the goose product is not at hand
hot vaseline, lard and turpentina
mixed, and even hot olive Oil, are excel.
lent lubricators.

exercise, before rubbing with grease
take bath as hot as one can bear it
A few handfuls of rock salt added will
heighten the good effects.
After the greasing special exercise
for the joints affected help in the lin.
bering process. If the shoulders are
stiff, for instance, try the circular head
and shoulder movements, first to the
right, later to the left. The lower part
of the body can be quickly limbered
by raising the hands over the head and
bending over them to the floor, thus
bringing into play all the waist mus.
cles
A stiff knee should be rubbed with
a circular movement, and the lower
part of the leg should be slowly moved
backward and forward Any of these
exercises may seem somewhat painful
at first, but will give relief if perse-
vered in.
