FOR THE SUM MER BED
STYLES OF CoUNTERPANES THAT
ALWAYS LOOK WELL.
Probably the Best, Though Also the
Most Expensive, 10 That OF Fine
Irlsh Linen BIeached to
Purest White.

II money Is not an object, have FOR
the summer bed a Counterpart OF MOD
erately heavy but very n Irish linen
bleached to purest white, finished all
round with q four inch broad hem
stitching. To 90 with this coyerlid
there may be two square shams or a
single long strip which will cover both
pillows, but the bed looks equally wen
II the counterpart lis spread from head
to foot without a break. Where ex-
pense must be considered, there may
be, in lieu of the imported linen Gov
erlid, ono of the same character, but
In fine, heavy lawn, hand hemstitched
all around, but without the hand en-
broidsry. This coverlid when spread
about q linen sheet looks very well
indeed, and In its favor 1t may DO
said that 1t is more easily
than ia the more costly one.
White scrim, swiss or fine cheese
cloth make dainty looking spreads for
the bed which needs a valance to hide
the hat and shirt waist boxes for which
there II no space elsewhere In tho
sleeping room. Any Of the coarse
meshed imitation laces look well on
scrim, Swiss or ch~eesecloth eoverl1ds,
and 10 do the lowered lawns which
come in attractive summary patterns.

rose, maize or S>een with white ana
having a heavy and thickly knotteo
white fringe which is practically a
valance. These spreads are chosen
to match the carpet, paper n cur
tains, but for a white room there is
nothing so dainty as the Marseilles
patterned satin damask covered with
scalloped embroidered edges which all
but touch the floor at each side OF the
bed.
Between the linen sheets Of the bed
place a pair of summer blankets OF
pure wool In all white or In white with
a fine border In delicate color. and
be sure that the bindings are Of
silk. 1t pays to remove the ordinary
bindings which sometimes finish a
really nice pair Of blankets and re-
place them with a white or colored
thin silk.
At the foot Of the bed have a COM
Portable of silkoline. One Of white
is charming and It keeps clean about
as long as one Of delicate hue In tho
plain or lowered material. The aver
age guest knows enough to place the
comforter carefully over a chair when
preparing for bed, or II additional
warmth Is needed, to double the upper
sheet far over Its top edge.

writes a number of short contribu-
lions about some of the old fashion
ed virtues, such as obedience, forti-
tude, diligence, reverence, courtesy,
simplicity and thrift. On the sub
ject of obedience, she says In part:
May / ask you, m of you moth
ers whose children are, you say,
obedient, to tell your daughter to
wear her overshoes to school some
morning when you think it may
rain? VIII she put them on, say
nothing, and march to school with
no ado? l do not think she will. 1
think she will say, What for? l do
hate overshoesl' Lover-like, you
may make a personal appeal, and
sake This kind of persuasion is
rarely successful. You may then ex-
plain to her all your reasons, and
she may wear the overshoes, though
there is, l am sure, an equal chance
that she won't. If she does, per-
haps you call her obedient. l don't.
l say that she wishes to know In
derlying causes and is open to con-
v%iction; that is, she Is Independent
and reasonable, both excellent quail
tiles at ONE times, In some places.

without demanding explanation, be
ones own opinion what it may; and

many times, in many places"

Aged Woman's Son Repays Attention

nesses done for an old lady several
years ago were amply repaid when

seven years old and rich, died in
Brooklyn a month ago from the ef4
fects of fever contracted in Mexico
Miss Madden, who came here with
her parents nearly three years ago.
formerly resided in a little suburb Of
Brooklyn, the principal residents of
which were factory workers. At that
time the aged mother Of Hanson lived
next door to the Maddens. Louise,
then a small girl, helpld the old lady
in her homework and performed vari!
GUS acts of kindness for her.
Hanson at that time was in Mexico
prospecting. He struck it rich, but
contracted a severe fever in the south
ern country. He sold his mining
claims for a large sum and returned
10 his mother in Brooklyn.
In the meantime the Maddens had
moved west. When her son returned
Mrs. Hanson told him of the kindness
shown her. He was so well pleased
that he determined to remember Miss
Madden in his will.
Miss Madden was too modest to dis
cuss her good fortune when inter-
viewed. She hesitatingly admitted
thatlthe sum was far in excess of the
amount of money she had hoped to
amass during her entire life.
Il really lever did anything worth
mentioning for Mrs. Hanson" she
said. I'VE were netghbors and l used
to help her a little because she was
old and sick"
According to the will Miss Madden
does not receive the principal until
she becomes of age. During the five
years she is forced to wait she will
receive the interest.

London.-The terrible appearance q
q party Of shipwrecksd sailors who
spent . week in an opep boat In the

described In . letter which has Just
been received from Port Stanley,
Falkland islands. The men were 90
compaaisd BY the captains wife ana
child, and no fewer than six Of the
original occupants Of the boat sue,
cumbed to cold and exposure before
the exhausted survivors reached the
Falkland islands.
At the same time comes the news
that Captain Thomas, his wife and
child and three sailors reached Liver;
pool on the Pacific liner Orepesa.
During . storm which broke sud
denly the large sailing ship Criccieth

The experience Of the former party
during the first night in the open
boat was terrible. the captain describ1
ing It be the worst he had known DUR
ing the "a years Of his seafaring life.
That night. the captain thinks. the
second boat must have been swamped.
as nothing was seen Of It afterward!
Captain Thomas vas washed u of
the lifeboat, but was saved by his
wife, who caught him by his clothing!
enabling two of the men to pull him
aboard. Three Of the men died dur!

by three others before the survivors,
reached land. seven days later.

SEARCH CELLARS OF HOUSE
P%reeaution That 10 Never Neglected
Before Meeting Of the srit'sh
Parliament.

It is 307 years since tho British
houses Of parliament were searched
and the barrels Of gunpowder under
the custody of Guy Fawkes discovered
q few hours before the opening Of the
session. That discovery was not due
to any special acumen on the part of
the authorities. since It followed upon
information sent them by letter; but
there has certainly been no lack OF
vigilance since then, seeing that on no
occasion for three centuries has Par
tliament been opened until its cellars
had been searched.
The duty Of examining the vaults
and secret passages Is assigned to the
lord chamberlain Of the court, but
generally it is the vice-chamberlain
who conducts the search. His assist.
ants are the deputy sergeant.at-arms
of the house Of commons, the clerk of
the board Of works and an inspector
of police. There is q lot Of ceremony
pertaining to the proceeding.
The four officers mentioned are pre-.
'ceded by four yeomen Of the guard in
uniform and fully armed. Through one
corridor after another they tramp.
;peering into every dark corner until
they finally reach the conclusion that
no gunpowder has been stored in the
cellars and that. therefore, 1t is quite
safe for parliament to meet.
When, during the reign of James l..
the earliest searches were ordered, the
%lguardsmen carried lanterns through
the dark passages, and now, although
the corridors and underground pass
ages are thoroughly lighted by cleo.
tricity, the good old custom Is still
respected by the guardsmen. who yet
carry lanterns In their hands.
In the days Of the Stuarts 1t was the
custom. when the inspection had been
finished, for the lord chamberlain to
dispatch a message to the king by a
mounted soldier to the effect that it
would be entirely safe for him to at
tend the opening session of parlia-
ment. Nowadays the mounted SOL
der is no longer seen riding post
haste to the king; but the vice-cham-
iberlain still sends the traditional mes
sage to his majesty by private wire
and the king is assured that there are
no explosives in the cellars and that
he will not be exposed to unusual
risks if he chooses to meet his lords
and commons. The king may not
have the remotest notion of opening
parliament, but the message is sent
Just the same, and it is duly received

HAS FUND OF WAR TALES
soer Captains Experiences Of Exc
citing Times Full Of Interesting
and Humorous Details.

Capt. G. Van de Watering, one Of
the heroes Of the Boer war, and q
man Of wide experience in many parts
of the world, was in Philadelphia re-
Gently and was prevailed upon to tell
some Of his opinions concerning the
figures which doomed large III those
troubled times in South Africa, ac-
cOrding to the Philadelphia Ledger.
The captain is a Dutchman born, but
he speaks English perfectly, and
likewise French and German. Since
giving up the profession of soldier he
mas been in the much more peaceful
pursuit Of selling varnish. He is a
remarkable developed man physical
ly, and he carries his 240 pounds
without any appearance Of superfu-
u flesh.
According to the captain, Dom Paul
was a sort of modern King Solomon
for sagacity and wisdom, and he
proves this by telling a story:
Cecil Rhodes and De Beers" he
said, "had a diamond farm once neal
Kimberley, and they could not agree
onhow it should be divided. To set.
tie the matter, they decided to leave
1t to Kruger. 1t was explained to him,
and he said to Rhodes: You are the
cider, so you may divide the proper
ty,' and to De Beers: You are the
younger, SO you may have the choice
Of the two pieces" In the captains
opinion this settled the vexed cues.
ton In a most satisfactory manner.
1t was suggested to the captain
that he must be interested in. the
Boy Scout movement, since he was
himself a scout serving under Gen
eral De Wet.
Il think the movement is a great
thing" he replied enthusiastically.
Anything which will get the young.
sters out Of doris should be encour.
aged. I had my start in an outdoor
life and every young fellow should
have the same opportunity"
The captain doesn't think quite 50
much of Baden-Powell, the founder OF
the scout movement.
why, he couldn't scout a free
lurch," he said. you see I helped
to capture Baden-Powell once when
he was scouting. 1t was down near
Mafeking, and I was in a detachment
with Eliot, the grandson of Kruger,
We caught Baden-Powell and got him
right, but he did not know everything
about scouting then"
The captain was the man who ar
rested John Hays Hammond, in 1896,
MI. Hammond was not on a diplo,
matte mission in the T%ransvaal at thai
time, but was acting as an engineer
for the Consolidated g%oldfelds.

In Debt to the Ants.

II the ants had not got into the
sugar there would have been no vaca-
ton for mother in a Pratt street fam
jly. Father was going way for a
while and mother had made up her
mind to stay at home with the young
son and just rest and have a good
time in her own yard.
But. on the day of fathers depart
ire mother was doing some baking
and she went to the sugar crock for
some sugar. When she removed the
lid she found the sugar alive with
tiny ants. She took the crock to the
back porch. spread q newspaper out
on a table and emptied the sugar on
the paper. Just then her gaze fell
on q railroad advertisement Of ex-
cursion rates. She found that a spe-
cial train would run from Indianap-
oils that night and that the fare was
low. The advertisement told about
the fine bathing beach, the hotels,
the fishing and all Of the other attrac.
tons.
When father came to dinner that
day there was a large bouquet Of
flowers at his plate. His chair was
cushioned and a nice. fat, soft pillow
was there also for his comfort. He
knew something was about to hap
pen, but he didn't know what nor how
much it was going to cost.
What is 1t now?" he asked. Looks
like there's something on your mind"
Mother handed him the paper. As

a check, and mother and son packed
