Aerial navigation may not, after all prove such a valuable adjunct in time of war as some of it's enthusiastic advocates think. In a recent test at Prussia the men behind the field guns demonstrated their ability to destroy swiftly moving balloons. Several batteries of field artillery were practiced against the aerial craft, which were lowed by the cruiser Undine. The results from the standpoint of the marks were bril- liant. In every instance the shells reach cd the balloons, tearing them to pieces, and frequently the gas bags exploded and were burned in mid air Major Gross, the aeronautical representative of Krupps directed the practice.

One Of the most important depart

hold Is that which embraces a are Of
linen Accordingly when this is well
dried and put away in the closet the
next duty is to secure 1t from the eff
fects Of damp and insects. These in
truders are often destructive, but they
may be prevented from doing injury by
making the bags and filling with laven-
der, cedar shavings or a strong per-

WHITE SERGE IN THE TUB
II Washing 10 Done Carefully the
skirt VIII Look Like New;
Directions.

With the present vogue Of white
serge suits, a few ideas on their clean
ing may be of interest to the woman
whose skirts are beginning to show
signs Of wear.
Have no hesitation whatever about
Tubing the skirt. It will shrink, OF
course. so It may be wise to rip the
hem before washing, because. suppo-
sing the skirt fits the hips very
smoothly at present. then In all prob
ability 1t will be necessary to draw up
the skirt an inch or two to make 1t
set properly over the hips.
This would necessitate cutting II OF
from the top, and as the skirt will also
shrink In length, the rest OF the hem
will be needed on the bottom and a
facing used when making the new
hem.
Make a warm suds with water and
white soap. adding a little borax. I'm.
merse the skirt and souse up and
down, rubbing any very soiled places
with the hands.
When clear II should be rinsed In
clear lukewarm water and borax. ther

side out and pin to the line al waist

Keep the fold down the center from
and pin the hem to the line. Then pu'
two or three pins between the belt ant
hem.
AS It dries the folds should b
smoothed, and. II necessary, the Skin
pulled into shape.
When almost perfectly dry press Of
the wrong side with a warn iron, pu
on a skirt hanger and put out In tn
air or sun.
Carefully done. the skirt will loo

The Wash Tub.-Did you ever try
parafin for mending a leaky wash
tub? When ours sprung a leak some
time ago we emptied It, dried It we'll
with a cloth, and poured melted paraf-
fin around the cracks. II has been In
constant use ever since without leak
Ing.
When the washing is done the tub
should be put upside down on the
basement floor, a little water poured
over the bottom. and they never will
dry out and fall to pieces.
The Wash Boiler.-When putting
the boiler away, wipe It as dry as pos
sible and always place II upside down.
In this way 1t will last for years. This
hint was given me by an old boiler
member and | never have had to have
my boAer repaired since.
To Wash Clothes Lines.-A good
way to wash clothes lines is to wind
them on q long board and scrub them
with a s%crubbing brush. You will find
that in this way you keep them from

them when you wash them In the tub.
Fading Caused by Hot Irons.-Fa-
ding is caused by too hot irons. The
fading of colored articles is due often
not to the washing. but the ironing,
Too hot irons are used directly On the
material and this will fade delicate
colors more than any amount Of wash
ing. The effect Is eve worse than
strong sunlight. Be sure that the ar
ticle Is evenly dampened and that the
iron is only hot enough to smooth the
wrinkles properly by firm. even pres

RUSSELL SAGE IN HIS OFFICE.
MuItl-MlIIIonaIre Always Pleasant
hammered, Except Where Money
fs Matters Were Concerned.

Russell Sage was. notoriously mean
In money matters, but the most demo
cratic Of American millionaires, and,
except where his dollars were in
volved, simple and kindly In manner.
At the time Of the Northern Pacific
bombshell, in May. 1901, reporter
called on him to get his explanation Of
th ecorner which ran Northern Pacific
shares Of common stock up to 81. 900
one day, only to send them crashing
down the next. The reporter called at
his office in Broad street with letter
Of introduction from magazine edi.
tor, and, squeezing in the outer Office
past row Of unpainted dry goods
boxes, which were evidently used for
storing papers in place Of a safe, he
found the old millionaire In his rusty
clothes, cheap necktie and frayed
Shirt and collar sitting at a little
stand, with nothing before him but q
pencil and a small pad of white paper
scarcely large enough to contain a
trifing computation In figures. Sage
said he was very busy and asked his
visitor If he could not come to his
house at night.
At the door Of the brown stone house
in Fifth avenue, near Forty-second
street, that night the reporter was
met by Sage himself. He was escort
ed into the back parlor or sitting
room, but was shut off from the front
room by folding doors. At small ia.
BILE Mrs. Sage sat reading the evening
newspaper, while Sage beckoned the
newspaper man to take seat beside
him on a low lounge in front of the
folding DOORS The springs were
broken or so weak that the two fell
close together.
After telling what he knew about
the Northern Pacific panic Sage be-
came reminiscent Of his early life, ol
the Goulds, Morgan and other men
whose names were on every tongue
He spoke with the simplicity Of man
accustomed to run village store. He
told Of Morgan as young man, who
had introduced into business methods
and ideas that were new and strange
to him and contrary to his early train
ing, and said he wasn't sure yet how
it would all come aut. He spoke o.
Jay Gould and the journey they hat
made together across the continent
just before Gould completed his pur
chase of the Missouri Pacific, and ex
planned that he believed in the semi
southern route across the continen
rather than the northern one Of Jamel
]. Hill because the warmer countr!
would be more productive and invit
settlers sooner.
