Stitch in Time.

No matter how busy the bachelor
girl is; no matter how many pleasant
social diversions may fall to her lot,
she should make it her unalterable
rule to save one, or better still, two
evenings a week entirely to herself.
On these evenings she can do her
shampooing and maricuring, look over
her wardrobe, wash out collars and
jabots, put on shoe buttons, run in
ribbons, do little necessary pressing
with an iron, and-this is also impor-
tant-catch up with her reading.
The little bachelor woman needs to
keep her mind active and well IL
formed as well as her hair daintily
shampooed and hands and complexion
cared for.

DEATH OF LEWIS MCKENZIE.
When did Lewis Mckenzie die?

When did Lewis Mckenzie die?
FRIEND.
Lewis Mckenzie died on the 2Sth Of
June. 1895. He was a member OF
congress about one year. 1t would
axe considerable space in which tc
reproduce political conditions in Vir-
ginia at the time he represented the
district in the lower house. Virginia
vas not readmitted to the union until
1870. The state in 1859 found it
self in dilemma. Nearly all the
Democratic nominees for state posi-
lions. if elected, could not subscribe
to the ironclad oath demanded oil
Ilicials at that time. 1t was neces-
jary 10 swear that they had neither
aided. abetted nor sympathized with
the late Southern Confederacy. Robt.
=. Withers had been nominated for
Governor and p. n. Shackleford, Of
iTauQuier, for Congress from this dis
trict. 1t was realized that should
aIr. Withers be elected he could not
be inauguratcd, nor could Mr.. Shack
'cford. In such events, II. Fl. Wells.
the Republican candidate. would be-
come governor. and Charles White
sey. the republican candidate for
Congress. would be allowed TO take
the seat. Al this iurcturc it was
suggested that Mr.. Withers withdraw
from the race and that the Demo
cratic organization vote for Gilbert
Walker of Norfolk. who was running
as an Independent. The latter was
a conservative republican. !; was
also suggested By writer in the
Gazette that Mr.. Shackleford stand
aside and that the party support AIR.
Mckenzie The latter was known as
what was then called mild republi-
can. Mr. Mckenzie had encouraged
the Congressional bee for many years.
and he readily accepted and was ell
eclcd. He had in 1866 run for Con-
grcss. as had also the late Gilbert c..
Minor. Robert y. Conrad. however.
OF Frederick county, was elected on
that occasion but was not allowed to
take his seat. Joseph Segar was ell
ccted to Congress from the state al
large at the same time MIR. Mckenzie
was elected. but the latter was not
allowed to qualify. Segar was a
prominent politician OF Virginia at
the. time. He died several years lat
.er on the steamer George Leary
while that steamer was on her way
/ from Norfolk to this city. Mr. Nc
/ henzie was succeeded by Elliott NJ.

ICE BARRIER.

What is the ice barrier. A. d.
The marvellous ice barrier OF the
Antarctic was found by Shackleton
10 be a great floating ice plain, 900
feet and more thick-not fed by the
glaciers, as had been supposed. 1t is
more than 400 miles across from
King Edward Land to Cape Royds,
and extends south at least 400 miles,
seeming to end at about 81 degrees
south latitude. It's front is a pre-
"ipitous wall Of ice, rising 20, to $50
feet above the sea.

4 WORD TO CHRISTMAS SHOP
PERS.
l'iiisS.

First, shop at home. We are very
sure that every reasonable demand
of the season can be met by our own
merchants. They have been at great
pains to provide for the needs OF
the Christmas shoppers, and. with
complete stocks of attractive mer-
charlsc at reasonable prices, there
is no reason why anyone should so
far aficld TO find their Christmas
gifts. 1t is true that one frequently
comes across advertisements that
tempt to mail order buying, but en-
periencc demonstrates that one does
not have to send away for his pur-
cl,ases when one resides in Alexan-
dria. Whether one has much or little
10 spend, suitable and attractive gifts
may be found upon the counters of
our own shops.
Patronixin@ local concerns is duty
We owe to the building up OF our own
community. Every dollar spent at
home is contribution to the pros
pcrity of our city: every dollar sent
away helps to build up the trade Of
some ether place. Moreover. the
merchants who have made their res
idence in Alexandria, invested their
captal here, become employers OF To-
cal labor and trusted to citizens for
patronage that brings success have
a definite claim upon the community;
Il claim that should not be ignored by
bcstowing patronage and spending
money with distant men who have no
interest in or concern for the growth
and progress Of Alexandria.
Second. shop now The lot Of the
shop girl is not happy one at any
time. Much harder is it at Christ
mas. Standing for ten hours a day,
under the necessity of being courle-
Gus and pleasant and patient with
every class Of people and under all
circumstances. involves considerable
physical exhaustion and nervous
strain. Consderate folks will think
Of The girls who serve them so we'll
during the trying days of the Christ
mas shopping season. AS far as pcs
siblc do your shopping now that you
may subtract one from the great
crowds whom necessity OF one kind
or another forces 10 wait until lat
er The greater the number who
distribute their shopping through the
present days the smaller will be The
congestion of purchasers in Christ
mas week. and the lighter The bur
den for the busy stores.
Ii is excellent policy 10 shop early,
for the first purchasers nave the add
vantage of leisursly selection. One
can take time To shop and ore finds
The complete stock from which TO Sc
lcct. Later the rush will prevent dis
criminate buying and the depoSed
stocks will present fewer oDportuni-
ties OF choice The wise thing and
the right therefore, is TO shop earl!
and shop al home.

Economics affecting the admins

at the navy yards and docks will be

Meyer. By The use of standard
sketches. the duplication Of labor IN

universally used in the navy. d great
saving has been effected. Forty
thousand dollars has been saved by
using substitutes for linseed oil and
rurpenLinc. A saving of $4,000 has
been made in reducing the cost OF
docking vessels. BY system OF cost
records fer numerous articles man
ufac;ured at navy yards it has been
found what yards can make a given

work OF making all OF these articles
which they make cheapest for the
