The Reconstruction OF q Crime and an
Added Tragedy.
Tho archaic reconstruction OF a
crime. which In a feature OF French
judicial procedure. outlives all ridicule.
And yet an extraordinary case which
happened a few days ago at Senles
should OF itself suffice to make the re-
construction Of the crime an impossi-
bility In the future.
A man had n quarrel with friend
and had shot him dead from his win.
dow as he was passing In the street.
The other day the murderer, with
handouts on his wrists, was taken
from prison to the room from a win
dow of which he had shot and killed
his former friend. On the way from
prison the crowd had booted and yelled
at the murderer, and the man was all
OF tremble when he got up to his
room He was given an unloaded gun
and told to show the magistrate Just
how he had committed the murder.
he took the gun, climbed on the foot
OF his bed. and, standing on the rail
az no had stood when he shot down
into the street. leaned forward and
took aim But he was very nervous.
He was hampered by his handouts.
His foot slipped, and he toppled head
first out OF the window into the street
below and broke his neck.-Paris Let.

Next season. skir,s,

The Ladies' Tailors' association,
which was In annual session in New
York recently. wrestled with the skirt
problem. but the question as to the cut
and width Of that garment for the COM
ing season was not decided 1t was
left with a style committee. which is
still celebrating. No report has been
made, but hints have been dropped to
the effect that the freak skirts" will
have no place In fall and winter styles.
Commenting on this. fashionable
dressmaker said: These people may
argue. demonstrate and write to their
hearts content. but what they say and
do will have little weight, for the time
has not yet come when we can create
styles for women In this country. The
fashionable skirt next season will be
what It has always been-made in

Politics as well as the weather are
warming up in Virginia, especially in
the contest for the senatorial toga now
worn by Thomas Staples Martin. Sem
ator Martin Is opposed by Represent
alive William A. Jones, and the latter
Is campaigning in vigorous fashion. In
a recent speech Congressman Jones
charged that before his election to the
United States senate In 1893 Senator
Martin was not only railroad agent
and lobbyist before the legislature Of
Virginia, but was one Of the disbursing
agents of the yellow dog" fund of the
railroads. The senator Indignantly
denies the charges as wholly false, VI
cious and slanderous and says that Mr..
Jones is merely trying to make politi-
cal capital.
Senator Martin Is a native Of vir-
ginia and lawyer by profession. He
was educated at the Virginia Military
institute and served as a cadet In the
Confederate army during the last year
OF the war. Until elected United
States senator he had never held nor
been candidate for any political once.

Pho Road to Success 10 Easy For the
Exceptional Employee.
Mr.. Carnegie says: 1.-THE most valu-
able acquisition to his business which
an employer can obtain Is an excep-
tional young man. There Is no bar
gain SO fruitful"
BY the exceptional young man Mr..
Carnegie means the one who is always
looking out for his employers inter
ests, the young man who keeps his
eyes open. who is always trying to
make suggestions for improvements In
the business, who IL always studying
for some better, simpler. more efficient
way OF doing things.
The exceptional boy or young man is
the one whose main ambition is to
help along the business, to further his
employers interests in every possible
way; the one who stays after hours
during the busy season to help out
wherever no can. The exceptional
young man II one who when any emer-
gency arises In the concern has n val
liable suggestion for It's solution. The
exceptional young man Is the one who
settles difficulties among the other en-
ployees without rupture. who is al
ways trying to avoid friction. to keep
peace and harmony in the 6rm. He
encourages the dull boy or the boy
who cannot seem to get hold Of the
business. He is always ready to give a
lift whenever needed and gives word
Of cheer to tho discouraged. The ex-
ceptionai young man is the one who is
always on tho alert for business, who
Is so polite and attentive and obliging
to his customers that everybody wants
to deal with him; who makes friends
for the hrm. who adds dignity to the
house.--Orison SWEET Marden in Sue

The washing OF linen fabrics with.
out injuring them IL not 30 easy as
some people think. To get the soap
suds properly into the goods some Wig
orous rubbing is required, and whether
a brush or only the hands are used
there II apt to be damage. A French
man has designed little apparatus
that il said to solve the problem ad,
mirably. This is a pair of grooved
wooden rollers set into metal frame,
with a handle at the top. The linen
is first thoroughly soaked in soapy
water and is then placed on an In.
clined board. The washer Is then roll
ed over the fabric, with not too much
pressure, but just enough to work the
soapsuds into the goods. This OPP
Grafton distributes the pressure even.

strain on any one part Of the fabric.
