his town to sell postage stamps with the
gum side up. There is a rule in the
postofice department requiring this

handed out gum side down they are
likely to accumulate filth and germs.
Other stories are told, after the tell

"There are tive kinds of kickers: those
who kick from anger, and those who
kick dispassionately for justice because
they are good citizens. II. through a

Washington, Dec. ia vote on tho

be taken this session, notwithstanding
that the bill has been given place OF
honor on the Senate calendar and was
being debated under special order yes

the Crawford amendment TO the omnl-
bus claims bill, with which the Senate
has been amusing itself, even MIR. Craw-
ford could not tell yesterday. The liquor
interests have been thoroughly fright
ened by the union temperance sentiment
in favor of the bill, but have been heart
ened by the knowledge that the bill j.
held by many senator's to involve con-

might bring the states and the federal
government into serious conflict. IL Is
believed that the bill will be exhaustive

TO vote during the life of the present

it would die with Congress and the
friends of temperance would be COM

After four hours soaking mo rubbing
whatever-take it from the tub. and,
without wringing, hang it on the line by
the belt to dry.
Great pains should be taken to keep
the belt line straight, SO that the skirt
cannot sag anywhere and this may be
done by doubling it together from the
sides and putting four clothespins across
it, letting the belt run up between the
pins, rather than doubling it over.
Those that nip into the line at one end
and hold the skirt by the Others are the
best, as the skirt cannot possibly sag
thus suspended.
The work should not be begun unless
it promises to be good sunny day. be-
cause, as the skirt is hung out dripping
wet. it requires several hours of sunshine
to dry it. While it still hangs on the
line haste the plaits carefully in place
with fine thread, and while it is damp
take it and press it.
