HANGING OF HAMMOCKS.
How to Accomplish This and Make
Them Comfortable.

A seasoned camper who has learned
many things to make outdoor living
comfortable has given this rule for
hanging hammock:
The head should be two feet higher
than the foot, This gives comfort
able curve. The proper distance Is
about SIX feet from the ground for the
head end and four feet for the foot
Another important point is to have
the head rope shorter than that at the
foot Of the hammock. II the head one
is about a foot long and the other four
and half feet. the head Of the per-
son will feel little movement while the
body swings. This overcomes that
feeling of nausea which keeps many
persons out Of a hammock.
There are many improved hammocks
these days. Those with stiffeuing for
both ends give almost the effect OF an
open air bed. Some OF them have
slightly raised sides to prevent falling

ing Of her handkerchief and would no
more think of having them go into
the hands of the family laundress
than she would send piece of hand
some lace to her Even if they are Of
the thinnest material. and they are
mostly simple bits of delicate linen
embroidered or lace trimmed. they
are expected to last their allotted time.
and that they shall do so requires that
great pains be taken with them. IL
there Is no maid In the little menage.
then madam must do her own wash
ing. and this Is the way she goes about
it:
In the first place. her handkerchiefs
are never allowed to become unduly
soiled and after once using are put
into small linen bag that always
hangs beside the toilet table. When a
half dozen or more have collected
they are put to soak In an earthen
bowl filled with cold water and suds
made from the best of washing soap.
In this they should remain for half
an hour. after which they are care
fully rinSed IN more cool water Then
comes the thorough washing of them
in hot water in which spoonful of
borax has been dissolved. This Is
done as gently as possible by patting
and rubbing. and for this last many
women use child's toy washboard
which is exactly the right size for the
purpose. In this way no threads Of
the fine material are broken. disas-
ter which is difficult to remedy The
final rinsing is also done through
many cool waters until every particle
of soap IL gone. and then comes the
climax of the entire performance.
The handkerrhiefs are placed in
bowl of milk into which have been put
few drops of essence of violet. which
is strong and of a blush tinge. and
this will give to them the pure white
color which is so necessary. From
this each is taken and partially dried

No starch is used. for the milk takes
the place of that. and the little iron
ing board is covered first with a heavy
flannel and after with spotleSsiy
clean piece of white cloth.
An iron is kept especially for this
work. and usually it is some patented
affair, either for electricity or alcho-
hol. TO do this all properly will take
an hour or more of madam's time. but
she is more than repaid for that by
the results seen. The little pile of
handkerchiefs will come from her
hands as II fresh from the shelves of
shop. and they will have the dell
cate fragrance of having lain in
velvet Sachet.

Senator Hepburn, of Idaho. who has
been run over several times recently by
the legislative wheels of the Senate
came into his own yesterday He not
only obtained a reversal of the ruling Of
the Vice President, regarding the fate of
q resolution introduced by him. but he
won out In a roll call for the adoption
of his measure against a number of lead
ers of the Senate.
Strange as 1t may seem. victory came
10 the Idaho Senator as the result OF
support OF Democratic Senators, whom
he assailed in his bloody shirt" speech
Monday last. In opposition to the loan Of
tents to the Confederate veterans at their
reunion in Mobile.
Demands the Facts.
The Senator's resolution, which caused
the Senate to sit up and take notice.
provided that the Secretary OF the In
terror should ascertain how much It
would cost to finish each OF the existing
reclamation projects; how much money
has already been expended on them. and
the income to be expected from the sale
of public lands for the next ten years.
Senator Tillman made the point that
the Senate directed the Committee on
Irrigation 20 obtain this information at
the last Congress, and that the passage
OF the pending resolution would result in
duplication of work. Senators Carter
and Warren objected TO the resolution,
saying that the information would soon
be obtained by the Committee on Irriga-
ton.
Senator Hepburn gave evidence OF the
fact that he did not like the objection
interposed, and declared that regardless
OF what the Irrigation Committee does,
the Public Lands Committee desires the
information requested IN his resolution
for its own use. Senator Warren said
something about the Senator from Idaho
being unduly excited. Whereupon Sena-
tor Hepburn roared:
7 am tired Of the use OF that express
sion by Senator'S whenever I take the
floor. It seems that when I record my
views here some Senator insists that I
am unduly heated. They simply follow
the example Of the newspaper reporter.
The situation is getting almost Intoler-
able"
Senator Warren said he saw no occa-
sion for the Senator getting heated, and
that so far as he Is concerned he IS Ger
tainly not going to get heated.
Motion TO Refer.
a motion made by Senator Carter, OF
Montana, 20 refer the resolution TO the
Committee on Irrigation was put to the
Senate and the Vice President declared
on a viva voce vote that the ayes pre-
vailed. The Senator from Idaho asked
for the ayes and nays, but the Vice
President announced that not a sufficient
number Of Senator's sustained the cali.
Il have counted myself more than a
sufficient number" shouted Senator Hey
burn. Il know I saw seven Senators lift
their hands"
The Vice President took another count
and good-humoredly reversed his decl-
sion. The roll call resulted in a reversal
Of the viva voce vote, twenty-nine Sena-
tors voting against reference Of the reso-
luton 10 the Irrigation Committee and
