To Iron Soutache-

You may be confronted with no lit
tie perplexity when ironing linen
frock with white or colored soutache
braiding. First stretch the embroid
cred parts to remove all wrinkles and
iron right over the braid to smooth it
You will not be pleased with the ap.
pearance of the linen beneath, but
turn the garment, lay the embroidery
upon double or triple thickness of a
white Turkish towel which will permit
the braid to sink into its soft surface
and the back of the linen can be
smoothly ironed by passing a damp
cloth over the linen, following it with
medium hot iron. Iron all parts per.
fectly dry or they will wrinkle again
and be very unattractive. Iron EN-.
broidery scallops in the same manner
and clip any loose threads that may
escape from scallops or edges. A

The Heppelwhite pattern is very
lovely on silver dressing table sets.
Pineapple crystals is a dainty dish,

A novelty for baby is a hammock
with sides, so that he may swing out
under the trees on fine days, with no
1anger of his falling out and humping
his nose.
A useful new-kitchen accessory is a
trying pan of gray enamel ware, which

A New York friend of cuticura

A New York friend of Cuticura
writes:
"NIy three year old soz and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When a search was made Cor
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents Of the entire box spread on
the crackers. 1t cured him of bad
cold and I don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu

Edifice Recently Attacked by Mob Was
Begun In Eleventh Century.
The great cathedral at Pisa, recently
assailed by mob of Italians because
of rage at the execution of the an
archist Ferrer in Spain, has long been
a worlds show place.
The famous cathedral, of which the
ing formerly been the belfry, was de-
signed by Boschetto and Rinaldo. IA
nous italian architects. It was begun
in 1868 and was not completed until
111S. In the centuries that followed
Pisa was the scene Of many violent
wars and much bloodshed.
The design Of the cathedral is that
Of plain Latin cross with an exter-
nal length of 31111b feet and a breadth
of 252 feet. The nave, 100 feet high,
is supported by marble arches.
Externally the cathedral has a mag
niicent facade of four superimposed
rows Of pilasters and arches and fine
bronze doors by Giovanni da Bologna
and others.
Near the cathedral stands the round
campanile, the leaning tower, which is
a fine specimen Of Romanesque archi-

and, counting the cornice at the top, is
thirteen feet three inches out Of the
perpendicular. The walls, which are
thirteen feet thick at the base and
half as thick at the top, are built en-

The Fierce Brute Proved a Good Tenn
perance Lecturer.
Governor Jennings of Indiana used

He met a man with whom he was

APPOINTMENT FOR FRANCE.
chagrined by Loss Of Military Balloon
After Its Value Had Been Proved.

chagrined by Loss of Military Balloon
After Its Value Had Been Proved.
The destruction recently of the French
military balloon La Republique, which
fell from great height and was
smashed into fragments, while the four
members of her crew were killed, has
brought great grief and yexation to the
minds Of the French army leaders. The
loss is not however, irreparable. A day
or two after the accident Messrs. Paul
and Pierre Lebaudy wrote to the min
lister of war offering to the army a new
dirigible to replace La Republique. The
offer was accepted, and the construc-
ton is being hurried along. France,
besides, has several other military dir
igibles.
But the loss Of La Republique is still
viewed as a most irritating check, if
not as military disaster. 1t hap
pened at a most untoward time Never
before had army men attached SO much
Importance to the possession of an eff
flcient aerostat, and never before had
they been so convinced that La Repub-
lique was fairly up to the work re-
quired of her. She was a good aerial
scout. If France had been engaged in
war La Republique would have been
Of enormous service in campaigning.
The airship had just been tried out in
the course of the army maneuvers, and
she proved a success. She got into &C.
tive service in the last days. of the ma
neuvers. She met with an accident on
her way to the field Of operations, but
even this circumstance figures in her
favor in the final casting up of results,
for the crew attached to her, with some
help from the engineer corps, succeed
ed in making radical repairs without
sending her back to the factory Thus
it was established that she was capable
of encountering the ordinary hazards of
the field and was not likely to be put
out Of service by minor mishaps. The
success Of the crew Of La Republique
in observing the movements of the zen
envy" had met with great praise.
