such fleeces present an attractive ap-
pearance that appeals to the buyer.

PACKING FOR SAFETY
HOW FRAGILE CHINA MAY BE
TRANSPORTED.
Newspapers Better Than Excelsior to
Protect the Priced Possessions-
Entire Secret of Success Is
the Wrapping.

A woman who brought delicate egg
shell chine safely from San Francisco
to Chicago and from Atlantic City to
Chicago, and who packed her china
for transportation without any break
age, did so in the following manner
without using excelsior and thus avoid
Ing unnecessary bulkiness:
Long before the time for packing
she had saved and stacked all her
newspapers so that there would be
plenty on hand. She considered small
boxes safer for the purpose, as they
are handled more easily.
Sort the china and glass SO that
delicate and lightweight pieces may
be packed into the same box or case
and not together with heavier ware.
Almost every household contains
fine dishes and bric-a-brac not com
monty in use. Begin your packing
with these some time before moving
day, as they may be easily spared
without inconvenience to the mousse
hold, and prevent too great accumu-
lation OF work near the end
Take a delicate piece Of china and
begin by wrapping it in newspaper,
doubling the paper many thicknesses
and wrapping again and again, being
careful to place extra thicknesses
about the edges, about protruding han
dies and knobs, until the contour OF
the piece is entirely lost in the wrap
ping and no part with an edge or ham
die may be felt through the bundle.
The object must be wrapped until
no part OF 1t whatever is distinguish
able through the wrapping. Covers or
dishes must be wrapped separately.
and fitted into the vessels to which
they belong, top downward, then the
whole wrapped again and again into
compact bundle. While wrapping the
article keep track of the handles so
that in placing the bundle In the box
it may be laid without undue pressure
of other bundles against the delicate
parts. Before packing box, assemble
all the bundles which are expected 10
be packed into It in order that they
may be fitted in the best possible way.
There is always some little niche or
space between packages OF dlHerent
shapes and sizes. Fill in every space
or hollow with paper pushed in until
the mass is solid and immoyable. The
more compact the packing the safeI
the contents of the box. Where pack
ages do not seem to fit in because Of
shape or size. change the bundles
about until a place is made where
they are sure to fit. When box Is
filled see that everything is wedgec
in tight and immovable.
The box may then be closed anc
may be safely turned on every side
and worry incident to handling avoid
ed. This mode of packing besides be
ing safe, economies space and wha
is more important, avoids the littel
incident to packing In piles Of excel

Use Mems Shirt Sets.

Girls are turning to account the
smart shirt buttons in colored enamels
that come for mems shirts. They are
usually six sold to a set.
These buttons have link to thrust
through the eyelet and are held by a
patent fastener. When girl uses
them she works eyelets instead OF
button-holes in front OF her waist and
in the cuffs. Sometimes the buttons
are all used at the back.
Some have colored enamel centers
with rim OF striped two-toned gold :;
others OF solid enamel in delicate
tones with design OF gold: again
there are centers of barred enamel
with a plain rim in a deeper tone or OF
deep ecru enamel with colored
rim.

ADJOURNMENT AUGUST I

The announcement from Washington
that the reciprocity measure will be
brought to a vote within two weeks
viii be welcome news to the country
The extra session has drifted into a
condition that is nothing short of far
cical and the sooner it is brought to
an end the less danger there will be of
the insurgent Senators losing what lit
tie following they have outside Of their
own states. 1t has been evident from
the start that reciprocity would pass
whenever brought to a vote and the
country would have been spared the
cost OF the extra session as ven as the
disturbance to business that has taken
place, il a vote had been allowed at
the regular session. Reciprocity has
lost nothing by the delay and in fact
grows stronger as time goes by, while
those who oppose it have steadily lost
ground.
1t has been just as evident from the
start that there would be no tariff leg
station. as it has been that reciprocity
would finally become a law. The De-
mocratic majority in the House, how
ever as well as many of the Democrat
&c Senators, must have an opportunity
TO go on record with their tariff revi-
sion measures in return for their sup
port Of Republican president against
the efforts Of many Of his own party.
Thus after the passage of Canadian
reciprocity there will be votes on vari
Gus tariff changes, all Of which will be
voted down. The relief felt at the adj
iournment Of Congress on or about the
first Of August will be tempered with
the knowledge that within few
months we shall have to go all through
r. again, but that is inevitable and
something that must always be reck-
oned with by the financial and COM
mercial interests Of the country.

Tragedy for Which Captain Pays the
Utmost Penalty.

UTMOST Fendity.
| Doctors mistakes. many of them a

says IA writer in the Munsey's. Thos
made by lawyers are paid for by thei
clients. But the mistakes made by Sc;
captains, no matter what they ma!
cost others, are in the end settled b!
the captains themselves. The long rol
of suicides tells the story.

matter what might have been the
strain on body and brain his profes-
sional career is at an end.
There was Capt. Frederick Watkins
who commanded the City of Paris
when the old Inman liner came stag
gering to port with the Atlantic waves
washing about her holds and surging
against her bulkheads, the result of a
fog shrouded impact with an iceberg.
The liner was thronged with passen-
gers: the Unforeseen danger came near
to sending her and her thousand souls
to the bottom, but the energy; re-
sourcefulness and skill of her COM
mander brought her safe to port, a
deed to be long remembered.
1t was remembered up to few
years ago, when u slight miscalcula-
ton on the part of Capt. Watkins sent
his vessel upon the Manache rocks on
the Cornish coast. Now you may
search all of the obscure places of the
earth and you may not locate him.
There was the Princess Victoria
Louise of the Hamburg American line,
which drove hard upon the coral beach
at Port Royal in the island of ia
maica. The vessel was thronged with
tourists making "a jaunt to the West
Indies. Fortunately the sea was calm
and there was no difficulty in getting
passengers ashore. When the last had
been safely landed the captain went
to his stateroom and put a bullet
through his brain.
The pitiable part of II all was that
he had no need to. 1t was not the brain
he shattered that was at fault, but the
Kingston earthquake which had de-
stroyed the lighthouse. Cropping for
this same lighthouse few days later
came another vessel of the same line,
tn. Prinz Waldemar. Her wreck lies
few hundred feet distant from that
of her consort, mute testimony to the
skill of the navigators. Had the light
house been there they would have
found the passage; failing it they
found destruction.
