LAST SUMMERS BLUE SUIT.
Best Method of Cleaning the Popular
Serae Outfit.

Blue serge. which is always popular,
is easily spotted. Many blue serge
suits of good material made for last
summer will again be made to do serv-
ice this season; therefore a word
concerning the cleaning process is
timely. Gasoline is generally regarded
as the best way to clean these suits.
As almost everybody knows, gasoline
is highly infammable. and it will he
wiser To do the cleaning out Of doors.
First shake and brush your gown or
your husbands blue serge suit to re-
move the dust and dirt. Fill an earth
enware jar with gasoline and immerse
the article in the same. Let il soak
two or three hours and then rub care
fully between the fingers or with a
brush with stiff bristles.
Then squeeze every bit Of gasoline
out Of the garment and place it in an
other jar containing fresh gasoline. in
which it should soak for an hour and
then be squeezed between the fingers
until dry. Hang the garment out in
the open air until every bit OF the liquid
has evaporated. Stretch the suit to the
proper shape and press with a hot iron.
Strain the gasoline through a cheese
cloth.

FINNs' FIGHT FOR RIGHTS.

lndomitabls Spirit In Evidence When
Their Constitution Mas Recalled.
On Feb. 10. 1899. the constitution OF
Finland, which had been granted the
grand duchy by Alexander !. nearly u
hundred years before. was recalled 10y
an edict OF Nicholas II. About 100
go of free people lost their liberties
by this act. They did not give up,
however. without petitioning the ear.
and so determined was the national
temper that Russia during the trou-
bled time Of the Japanese var felt
constrained TO restore to the Finns
their constitutional rights. Some Incl
dents connected with the signing of
these petitions are told by Harry de
Windt in Finland as 1t Is"
Meetings were held everywhere in
cities, villages and hamlets. Where no
halls were available churches were
thrown open. and men and women
crowded eagerly to sign copies of the
address. The literate only were per-
mitted to affix their names. and this
gave rise to many touching incidents.
In one village Of the far north an old
man of seventy came TO his master
and begged that he might he taught to
write his name. Am | not 10 be al

that he was consolcd by being able 10

Others in the remote districts sought

proudly when. by dint Of perseverance,
they also were able to become sigma
tories.
In a certain instance the owner of
n farm in the far north learned from
one Of his laborers, who had been
south, what was being done. 1t was
too far for all the people on his farm
to travel to the nearest village where
signatures were being received, but
the farmer wrote to the emperor him.

The most northern settlement to be

the Roganiemi peasants were equal to

OF Interest to the Young Folks
WHERE TEARS COME FROM
How Many Know That They Are Con-
tinually Flowing?

Very few persons know that their
tears are always flowing, although
they do not shed them by letting them
run down the outside of their faces
and making their eyes red. Every
time you wink you drop a tiny tear
into the lower eyelid, washing the eye
ball with il on the way down. After
il has sponged the eye of nicely It
runs off into the nose through a tiny
hole near the inner corner of the eye,
which is called the tear duct.
When You start To howl because you
think you are hurt the tears come so
fast that this little duct cannot carry
them off. so they overflow on the face
and you shed them. which shows that
the story books use the correct ex-
preston when they say "her eyes over
flowed with tears" says the New York
Sun.
Above each eye and toward the outer
side there is a little gland that is al
ways busy making tears so as to be
ready for use any time. just as a loco
motive is always making compressed
air ready for use in the air brakes.
The moment the eye telegraphs its
message to the brain that the eyeball
is n little dry or that there is a speck
OF dust on it wink goes the eyelid, and
down comes a little tear. and the eye
is nicely washed off again and looks
as bright and clear as ever.

Use For Wornout Skirts.

When your white skirts are torn and
frayed they will serve as coverings
for suits and skirts and. in fact. any
outside skirt which you wish to keep
clean and free of the dust which set

Wash all starch out OF these old skirts
and when dry and ready for use slip

hang in ones closet in these skirts,

about the hangers.
