TRAINED NURSES ON SHIPS.

TRAINED NURSES ON SHIPS.
On a few of the large ocean liners
a trained nurse may be found, but
the idea is novel to train stewardesses
as such. Consul Horace Lee Wash
ington says that one of the largest
lines sailing out of Liverpool has
arranged to have their stewardesses
undergo a regular course of training
at the Royal Southern Hospital.
Many Of the vessels of this line ply
to the West Coast of Africa and the
Canary Islands, and particular atten-
ton is to be given in their instruction
to treatment of cases Of malaria.
The practical advantages Of this step
have occasioned favorable comment
in shipping circles at Liverpool

The Beggar Chiefs of China

Beggar chiefs are a feature OF ev-
eryday life in China. At Chinese
wedding the beggar chief is always
invited; he is allowed TO beg from
the guests, but in return he stipu-
lates that all other mendicants shall
be kept away The chief makes
between $4,000 or $4,000 a year by
this profitable begging, and IS con-
sidered quite an important person

BLEACHING IN LAUNDRIES

BLEACHING IN LAUNDRIES.
Strictly speaking soap is the only
chemical that should be used in a
first-class laundry, but most laundries
find it necessary to use caustic OF
washing soda to soften down the
water. Sometimes in order to whiten
the clothes bleacher is put in. Such
is usually chloride of lime, but in
case of wine, iron or fruit stains
either oxalic acid of chloride of tin
comes in handy. Many patent laun-
dry preparations are used to whiten
clothes accidentally stained at home
or in laundering. All these chem.
icals do little or no harm provided
the laundryman understands the use
CT the chemical and weakens it right,
but the most important of all is that
the bleach should be washed out at
once with fresh water.-New York
Press.

Aggravating The Indian.

When the late Cen Edward NJ
McCook lived in Pixies Peak he once
presided at a dinner in honor Of a

Mr.. McCook, as he was then, con-

fighter with the words:

CORSET AGITATES EUROPE.

There is a real campaign in Europe

nature. t'The woman who wears cor

John Smith had worked for the

decided to quit. The company, in
consideration Of his long and faith
full service, arranged to give him a
monetary recognition. The superil-

an extra good mechanic, was asked
to present it. He was advised to
use a little sentiment in making the
presentation speech, and this is the
way he did it:

intricate nor elaborate, yet it is particu-
larly well placed and not brought too far
up on the front of the bodice. The long,
slender star like radiations suggest
feathery variety of palm leaves, and they
could be made much more bold and strlk-
ing if carried out in wider or more pro-
nOunced braid.
The lace front filling in the space above
the fat satin band edging the braid part
is quite plain and would be wonderfully at
tractive if made of fine net dyed to match
the taupe colored cloth and laid over
silver net or bands of silver lace set close
together. A silver cloth collar overlaid
with white net would make a smart finish
to the waist Instead of having plain
cloth sleeves or fancy ones trimmed with
braid, mousQuetaire sleeves of taupe col
ored chiffon gathered on q foundation of
silver net are combined with the quaint
and simple bodice. A touch of braiding
may be introduced on the outside of the
long wrinkled sleeve, but this is by no
means essential

A simple and charming petticoat for
afternoon wear is made of soft satin in
shade which harmonizes with the frock
that is to be worn-usually matching it
unless the gown is of striped, figured or
two toned material. The petticoat is
trimmed with founce of point d'esprit
in the same color. The point d'esprit
founce is quite deep, and around the bot
tom, at intervals of about two inches,
there are rows Of narrow satin ribbon
matching in color and shirred in the mid
die. Above these rows is a trimming of
the same ribbon put on in points, there
being three rows Of the shirred ribbon
put on in this fashion. A straight row
set at the head of the founce completes

from the lace. Beneath the festoons were
two shallow rufies of pleated mousseline
ruchings.
A petticoat of lowered silk in dull rose
and gray had deep fiounce laid in verti-
cal tucks, FIVE tucks in a group at short
distances apart. The tucks were held in
for about half the depth of the founce
and then let out to give more width
narrow RIFLES finished the Skirt at the
bottom.
White pongee trimmed with Valen-
ciennes lace makes a most attractive soft
petticoat for wear in the house. Such a
skirt was made with deep lounce which
sloped up toward the back. The founce
was headed with a band of insertion. Two
rufles set In the founce were also headed
with insertion and edged with the lace.

N Fig. 2 is shown a most attractive

The only places on the gown in which
the embroidery is used is across the front
of the bodice and for the sleeves. The
gown shown in the illustration is of violet
cloth, the embroidery being violet on a
gray ground and the guimpe and collar of
a fainter tone of violet chiffon laid in hOri-
zontal tucks. There is no trimming of any
kind on the skirt of the gown, which is

the trimming. In pale gray such a skirt
is charming.
A petticoat Of rose brocade had a band
of plain rose satin set around the lower
part of the skirt. On this was a row of
guipure medallions framed in an irregular
diamond design made by tiny ruches of
gauze ribbon. Beneath this trimming
were three shallow founces of pIeated
mousseline de sole, with narrow ruchings
at top and bottom.
A black and white striped satin petti-
coat had a deep founce Of mousseline de
sole, trimmed with black Chantilly put on
in festoons and crossed by festoons formed
of three tiny ruchings of black gauze. In

intersecting festoons there were small

of the finest pattern of lace. There is a
lace imitation that closely resembles the
old time blond lace that is wonderfully
becoming. This embroidered with seed
pearls or rhinestones, cut without collar
and worn with jewelled dog collar, is
charming and most practical fashion. 1t
would seem as though it were necessary
to wear something high just about the
throat, and as the majority of women do
not possess dog collars or more than one,
there are many little fads, as they might
be called, that are popular. The gold or
silver ribbon is effective when well boned,
and if worn with it is a jeweIled pin
or pendant is becoming. Black and col
ored velvets are also possible, but if black
velvet around the throat is not becoming
it should never be worn. Tulle with
ljewelled slides is much more apt to be be-
coming. A detail worth considering is
the finish of the yoke around the throat
There should be a narrow edge of the lace
added, for the pattern of the lace is rarely
so designed as to have a finish in itself,
and in order to have it fit as perfectly AS
lis required the edge would sometimes he

WEAKLEY SPEAKS
 TO LARGE CROWD
ADDRESS AT PULLMAN ON THE AMENDMENT IS HEARD WITH ENTHUSIASM-C COURT HAS BIG DOCKET.

Cullman, September 20- Especially - , ham, who has taken the stump in the in- terest of the proposed prohibition con- stitutional amendment, spoke here this morning to an audience which filled the courthouse to overfowing. Judge Weak ley's auditors numbered several hun dred, and quite a large number of people were turned away on account of the de- fcient seating capacity of the court room.
 Tom L. Long of Jasper, who was ex- pected to be here to follow Judge Weak ley with a speech taking the anti-amend- ment stand, did not arrive.
 Judge Weakley spoke at some length on the amendment question: His speech was confined in the main to the legal phase of the issue, and he dwelt par tially on the provisions of the Fuller and Carmichael bills, recently passed at the extraordinary session of the legislature His address is considered to have been an excellent expose of the question with which he dealt. He hooted the objection which the anti-amendment forces have offered to the proposed change in the constitution, stating that they were not consistent.
 The gathering appeared to be decidedly with Judge Weakley in his sentiment toward the amendment. while there were a few members of the opposition forces present.
