SAFETY CLUTCH
SAVES men WHEN
CABLE BREAKS

VIRGINIA CITY, June 6.--Had 1t
not been that the safety clutch
worked perfectly, three men would
have been dashed to death in the
Combination shaft this morning.
They entered the cage at the
1700-foot level at $3.50 and signalled
to be hoisted. As they started to
move upward the cable broke about
$50 feet above them and the sew
cred portion coiled down over them
like a snake.
The cage dropped down the
guides, but the safety clutch took
hold and saved them. 1t was 200
feet from the point they stopped to
the bottom of the shaft.
The men climbed to the surface
on the ladder.

FLOWER HOLDER THAT IS
FASTENED TO THE WALL

Every girl enjoys having flowers In
her room. and she will surely find a
place to put them when the flowers are
given to her. no matter how small the
room or how fully the available space
may be already occupied. But 1t is not
always an easy task to find the exact
spot to put the flowers II the room is not
a very large one. Girls usually collect
many trifies. all Of which gtake space,
and flowers must never be placed where
the vase will be easily overturned.
The question can be successfully set
tied by using a fower-hOlder that is
fastened to the wall II can be so placed
that one gets the full benefit OF the
beauty and sweet odor OF all the flowers.
and there Is never any danger Of spilling
the water by a careless movement.
This flower holdGr is made in the
shape OF a triangle, with one side per-
fectly fiat to put against the wall The
other side rounds out. The effect Is like
half a vase with no standard, as II the
vase were cut down through the middle
and a fiat piece Of glass fitted across the
middle. Near the top OF this back piece
OF glass there is a hole large enough TO
slip easily on and OF q large nail which
Is driven into the wall. The vase must,
of course, not be fastened permanently TO
the wall. II must be easy to take IL
down for fresh water and to wash II.
Even when a girl has plenty Of room
for a large vase OF flowers on her table
a few extra ones in a wall vase beside
her dressing table will add much TO her
pleasure.

TWO NEW PIN CUSHIONS
THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE

Penny dolls made OF china are the
foundation OF cunning little pin cush-
ions which look like ballet dancers at first
sight, but on second glance 1t is discov-
cred that in lieu OF fiufiy skirts they
wear balls OF brightly -colored satin. silk.
pompadour ribbon or tinsel cloth. To
dress one OF these cushion-dolls, wind
a strip OF inch-wide cotton about the
trunk. from the waist over the left
shoulder. back to the waist again and
over the right shoulder and then tack II
with stout thread. That is the basis for
the fiuffs Of cotton-scented with sachet
powder-which must be put on TO form a
symmetrical ball that Is covered with
white. soft linen and finally with the
fancy silken material When finished the
dolls hands. feet. and head only are un-
pins are stuck into her their points are
scarcely likely to reach her trunk
Pin cushions Of fancy ribbon. velvet.
or silk Of oblong shape have three plain
plump corners and one that is trimmed
with two square double leaves Of silk
which fall over both its sides and, when
their baby ribbon strings are united. re-
veal several inside leaves OF embroidered
flannel for holding needles Of various
sizes. At the other end OF the cushion
and set directly at the center Of its
shortest edge, are ribbon loops by which
the cushion may be suspended. This Is
the ideal steamer or travelling pin cush-
ion, and makes a most acceptable bon
voyage gift.

MERCERIZED MATERIALS
SUBSTITUTE FOR LINEN

A well-stocked linen closet is every
woman's pride. She wants her table
cloths and napkins to be Of the very
finest. whitest linen she can afford, and
her sheets. pIilowcases and towels to be
absolutely beyond reproach.
However, in this DAY OF clever inven-
tions there are nercerized cotton fabrics,
suitable for all these articles. which look
very well for everyday use. and, more
than tha-, they wear and launder beau
tifuIIy.
The mercerizing process not only i'm
proves the looks OF cotton materials
but 1t also wonderfully Increases their
strength: and 1t Is not ''linty." as It was
in the days when grandmother spoke SO

Good tsblecloths OF mercerized cotton.
sixty-four inches wide, can be had for
a dollar a yard. In the far West the
price may be a trihe higher. Linen ones
give the same service. Cheap linen cloths
are finished with a very stif, glossy
dressing, but after the dressing washes
out they look very coarse and thin

To Be Used When the Dressmaker
Comes.

where there is no especial room In
the house set apart for a sewing room.
or II you live in a boarding house or
small apartments, you Will welcome the
knowledge OF how to make a serviceable
floor cloth for the room to be used when
the dressmaker spends the day at your
home.
Make a square OF bedticking or heavy
denim as large as the size OF the room
will permit. Sew the lengths OF material
together, tapping the edges one-quarter
OF an inch, and stitch down firmly on
both edges. Finish all Ground with a
brass rings twelve inches apart around
the entire square.
Through the rings run a thin rope or
heavy piece OF cord the exact length
OF the outside of the square and fasten
the ends securely. After the days
work is over and you wish to clean up
the room for the evening. by drawing
up the rope tight the floor cloth can IN
a moment be formed into a bag and
hung out OF sight in a closet. BY this
plan no sweeping is necessary, and the
contents OF the bag can be assorted at
leisure, avoiding the loss of small arti-
cles and pieces of material that are
large enough to save.
a covering like this Is splendid, also.

kiddies are allowed to scatter their toys

pick things up from the floor.

And 1 think also of another woman, a
little ignorant country dressmaker, so
unskilled she does not even ask first
class prices. There is no magic touch in
her fingers, no artistic sense of color in
her taste. She can only do plain, honest,
iIl-paid sewing.
But for years and years she supported

This woman crowded all seven Of the

THINGS TO REMEMBER IN
CHOOSING WALL PAPER

1t is important, when selecting a wall
paper, to consider durability as well as
beauty, which includes suitability. White
papers are not always ill-wearing. and
one that is glazed will resist dirt and
look bright and fresh for a long time
Soft-surfaced whites, or any other
color. however, not only pick up every
mark and collect dust, but also often
shed a minute powder.
Red papers do not suit hot rooms. but
warm up north ones charminGIy. When
turning an upstairs bedroom into sit
ting room, the use of a rich red paper
will do much to remove the plain effect
that Is often a drawback. Pink papers
are always liked in north or west bed
rooms. striped pattern increases the
apparent height of the walls. while one
with any kind OF horizontal lines or
checks will diminish II.

all the time with a wooden spoon The
