ON THE SEWING DAY
DON'T WORK YouRsELF Up MIRO
A NERVOUS FRENZY.
see That the Machine Is Carefully
Cleaned, and Go About Your
Work in Hopeful Frame
Of Mind.

Do you begin feeling that you viii
90 mad before the garment is COM
p'esed! DO you tote your sewing
rom room to room, losing this, that
ana the other. and never knowing
Wnere needles and thread are? Do
you wait till sewing day before clean
ing the machine? II you do any one
or all Of these things you are wrong.
Inc fates OF the thread and needle
must be coddled-and all the lob be-
Gins with a hopeful frame OF mind.
You have made Jenny's dresses and
your own before this; why should you
tail now? S.
So first buckle on your armor OF
faith In yourself. Then, II you haven't
done SO already. the week before the
important business begins try and
turn good part Of light, airy room
into the sewing establishment. II q
whole room can be given up to 1t and
Kept for the purpose all the better.
Hare the room cleaned before you be-
gin on any important part OF the feat,
Tor cleanliness IL great rest to the
spirit. Have little crockery bowl
or pretty pitcher somewhere with q
bright flower that you can look at
when your heart gets tired. Put the
sewing machine near q window and
arrange 1t and the chair SO that the,
light will fall over your left shoulder.
Clean It the day before the work is to
begin, and II 1t seems dusty oil 1t
thoroughly with kerosene OIL, and aft

fresh but light supply Of machine OIL.
On the sewing day see to 1t that no

For all the big cutting-out try and

With this get-up, which is, Of course,
for the actual sewing day, little more
than ordinary good sense is essential.
In using all Wallpaper models it is
necessary to read the directions on
them and not 60 contrary to their
rules. They should also be bought by
exact bust or waist measurements,
and with any change increasing or
decreasing the size-the alterations
must not be made at the edges OF the
models but midway in its length or

Music infamous CalurnetlNine

what seemed like faint yet distinct
sound OF music. ! could not identity
any melody; the music seemed to
have the quality that is In the aeolian
harp when the wind strikes the tele-
graph wire at the right angle.
There was weird beauty Of sound.
Gradually. 1t became more and more
distinct. and then seemed to hear,
vaguely, the melody Of gospel hymn.
A moment later was sure OF 1t, and
the creaking and grinding Of the APP
paratus by which the miners assembled
and descended into the shaft, seemed
at the moment to be the appropriate
diapason OF the music.
Listen came the voice of Mr.. He
bard. DO you know that song?"
It is. There's Light In the Win
dow for Thee" / answered.
YES" he whispered. And even as
he spoke the melody changed, and
up from the depths OF the earth came
voices singing in perfect unison that
fine old hymn which has brought
balm to many a wearied soul. Near
er, my God, to Thee
stood as one spellbound, listen
ing; and as the music OF that choir
invisible played strangely On my feel
ings, car shot out Of the shafts
mouth and came to stop, a score Of
begrimed Welsh miners, with. smiles
shining through the dust and soil OF
the lower earth on their faces, step
ped to the earth, grouped themselves
about the shaft, and with touching
simplicity and barred heads raised
their voices IN the measures OF the
long meter Doxology. Then. quietly,
they disappeared, each on his way, to
his own home.
With feeling akin to awe, /
watched them out Of sight. Then Mr..
Hebard turned to me. "They do this
every day when their work Is over
he said. aand to me the sense OF
moral and religious obligation which
these men express In their songs as
they come up from the bowels OF the
earth. and in their final praise or
their creator. as they safely stand
once more on earth, is Of far greater
value and Importance to mankind
than ali the millions Of wealth that
they and their predecessors have Ia
ken from the Calumet and Hecla
NINE"
And could not do aught but agree
with him, with the songs OF those
sturdy Welsh Methodist miners still
strangely ringing In my ears.

HelpedMake an Artist anous

You have probably heard" con.
tinued Mr.. Twachtman. that Henry
Ward Beecher was a greater lover Of
paintings and especially Of vivid col.
ors. He used to say that he could not
carry painting around In his pocket,
but that he could get the gorgeous col.
ors OF Cae by carrying around loose
gems, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and
sapphires; and these precious stones
he would frequently take from his
pocket. hold them In his hand and look
at them long and earnestly, as though
fascinated by the vivid colorings which
they flashed forth
Well, 1t happened one day that q
friend saw Beecher looking at his
gems In this manner. Finally Beech
er turned to him. I wish, he ex-
claimed. I could find on q painters
canvas something that would fascinase
me as much as these gems do. / mean
some new painting that have never
seen before. / go to the galleries and
the art exhibitions to see the old mas
ters-but want something new
A day or two later. Beecher, all
excitement and enthusiasm, hunted
out the same friend.
!" Come with me this Instant he
cried. DO you know. discovered
only yesterday Just the landscapes
that want and that spoke to you
about. There Is man that never
heard Of who Is painting landscapes of
that kind. I saw his studio and Just
walked In. He has some gorgeous ones
there. | want you to come with ne
and look at them
Who Is the artist?' the friend
asked.
:. His name Is George George let
me see--T have It written down on Il
memorandum, and Mr.. Beecher took
from his pocket a small memorandum
book and consulted 1t. oh. yes.' he
cried. its Inness George Inness.
Together the two men went to the
studio Of Inness, and spent couple Of
hours there. Mr.. Beecher was iii the
seventh heaven OF delight He did not
profess to be an art critic, nor an ex-
pert, but he knew what he liked and
why. and as he and his friend left the
studio he earnestly said to the latter:
I predict that this man Inness will be-
come recognized some day as the
greatest Of American landscape paint
ers-that he Will become one OF tho
immortals among artists
That happened In the late sixties
land. do you know, pretty soon II
began to be passed from one to an
other that Henry Ward Beecher had
discovered an obscure artist and pre-
dicted that he would become recog-
nized as the greatest OF American
landscape painters: laymen began to
flock to Inness' studio. rich men be-
gan to buy his pictures, the artists
name and those Of his works began to
creep into the newspapers-and. at
last. and In brief. George Inness be.
came as famous as Henry Ward
Beccher had prophesied.
II sometimes wonder" concluded
Mr.. Twachtman. what would have
been Inness' fate had not Henry Ward
Beecher discovered him Ia most ac-
cidental way? Would he have had to
die to gain fame. as has been the case
with so many other artists! And how
small part Of that fortune which he
won with the brush the greate~
gained through work by any American
artist up to his time would he have
enjoyed in life?

How Welsh Methodist Miners at the
Close OF Work Each Day Sang
Hymns Deep Down In the
Earth.

In the summer OF 1882 / was the
guest in Calumet, Michigan, Of the
late Charles Hebard, a man of large
wealth. who had done much to de-
velop the lumber industry OF northern
Michigan. and who. at that time was
regent of the University Of Michigan.
And as we were In the very heart Of
Michigan's world-famous copper dis
trict, 1t was natural that there should
be talk OF that metal
Il have been told" said to Mr..
Hebard. that prospectors, who were
searching the upper peninsula for the
true vein Of copper, one evening saw
q pig roofing at the stump Of tree.
They went to drive the pig into his
pen, when, OF sudden, they saw
something glisten, and, upon examina-
ton. discovered that 1t was vein of
copper, which subsequently proved to
be the vein leading to the working of
the now famous Calumet and Hecla
mine.n
Well" answered Mr.. Hebard, II
have heard that story many times.
have also heard that 1t was a dog
that was paving at the root OF the
tree which led to the discovery Of the
great vein, and I have always been
Of the opinion, since have lived here,
that the romantic story Of the finding
OF the Calumet and Hecla, which, /
suppose, has yielded greater wealth
than any other mine. in the United
States, has some foundation of fact.
But I am going to show you this
afternoon something which / think Is
OF far greater value and deeper sig
nifcance than any one can find In the
material wealth that has come from
this mine"
Mr.. Hebard broke OF with q smile,
and would say nothing more. But
shortly before five o'clock that after
noon he led me over half mile OF
country to the opening Of the great
shaft Of the Calumet and Hecla, at
that time several hundred feet in
depth.
Stand here and listen" he said.
He looked at his watch. cit Is now

For q minute or two, strain my
ears as would, could hear nothing.
