President Madero succeeded in sending l messenger to him from the palace but Blanquet decided not to fight On hearing this news Madero is said to have stolen from the palace to some place of refuge.
 The greatest portion of the popula- tion were in bed when the revolt broke out. Some were attending early church but fled for their lives when the guns opened.

 The fighting was terrific at times and marked by tremendous determin- ation. Madero acted courageOusy and did all that one man could do to stem the tide. but Diaz was every where and fought like a demon at the head of his men.
 The name of Diaz seemed to act like magic. In person he led the assault on the arsenal and seemed to be every where at once.

MEXICO CITY, Sunday, Feb. 9.- The Mexican government of President Madero has fallen amidst scenes of carnage and the president himself Is now defending the palace against the victorious rcVolutionist army which is led by General Felix Diaz, nephew of the former president and the man who d short time ago escaped execution after his failure to hold the city of Vera Cruz
 The catastrophe came on the gov crnmcnt like a bolt from the blue. This morning not a ripple disturbed the surface of life in the capital but a few hours later the revolution hurst with all its fury on the streets.
 The fighting against the govern ment was carried on principally by the federal trops which suddenly revoted, ra--i-~ i-- th~ dap if MAS found that General Felix Daz was in command. It had been rumored that he had cs- capped from prison but the federal au- thorities denied it.
 Not until he took command of the revolted army this morning was any one in the capital aware of his fate. Immediately after revolting the revo- lutimists marched on the public buildings. President Madero and his cabinet at once fled to the national palace with the troops that had re- mained loyal and there they decided to fight to the death.
 Scarcely an hour had elapsed when the arsenal and all the great public buildings were in the hands of the revolutionists. Some of the loyal sol diers guarding the buildings were shot down and one hundred and fifty bod ies have already been taken from the structures for burial. Several other bodies still lie in the buildings and in the streets leading to them.
 The whole scene is a reminder of the days of the French revolution. Fir

How to Make Delicate Perfume.

Some of the richest and most ex-
pensive perfumes can be made in the
following way: Select your blossoms,
whatever essence you desire, pluck
from the stems and drop into a jar
half filed with almond or olive oil.
Allow these flowers or leaves to lie for
twenty-four hours in the oil; then
squeeze through a cheesecloth bag into
a perfectly clean glass dish.
Repeat this operation until you have
procured the strength you desire. Pour
this essence into a new jar and thor
oughly mix with an equal quantity of
pure rectified spirits. Let this mix
ture stand for three weeks, shaking
and mixing it thoroughly every day.
After this process it must be again
strained. and then it is ready to be
bottled for use.

How to Economic on Ice.

A ten cent piece of ice every other
day is a more economical purchase
than five cent piece every day. Be-
ing twice as large and solid, it will last
not only twice as long as a five cent
piece, but it will give double as much
chill to the refrigerator and this chill
will last twice as long, SO that when
a new cake is put in it will not melt
as soon as it would have done other
wise. In fact, ten cent piece of ice
will often keep a refrigerator so cold
that, except in very warm weather,
one can get along very we'll if one only
buys it every three days instead Of
every two.
1T is we'll to buy a new cake before
the last one is entirely gone and the
chill of the icebox gone with it.

NeckWear.

How to Make Smart and Becoming
Neckwear.
A pretty embroidered linen talbot
can be made from a handkerchief.
You will have little difficulty making
the jabot if these directions are close
ly followed: Place the handkerchief
fat on the table and turn one point
under to form straight top for the
jabot. Now, using the point opposite
as a center, fold the sides into plaits
until the jabot is the desired width.
Basic the plaits in place and press
with a heated iron. When the bast-
ings are removed you will have a jabot
pretty enough to please any one. The
embroidered handkerchiefs with edges
of handmade lace are especially lovely
when used for jabots.
Four handkerchiefs can be Joined to
form a dainty tea apron. When these
are sewed together by hand they form
a large square. Arrange this with one
point forming a bib and run a gather
ing string across the front, so that
the apron fits properly at the waist
line. Stitch band of lace insertion
over this and run ribbon through to
form the apron strings.
The apron is finished by a narrow
edging of valenciennes lace
Attractive bureau scarfs and table
cover for the bedroom can be made by
using the handkerchiefs as medallions
and pointing them together. Border
these with an edging Of lace.

expedient Of holding a lighted match

Remove Any Discolorations.
Shapeliness is not all that is neces-

fine and soft, white and unblemished.
Cleanliness is the first essential. A
good thorough scrubbing with not too
soft brush. hot water and soap once
or twice week will do no harm, the
rest of the time using the ordinary
cloth. Apply lemon juice or ripe to-
mato to any discolorations that may ap-

use cold cream freely.
Alcohol will harden the flesh. AS for
the various beaches, there are some
that are harmless. except in SO far as
they invariably are drying, which ulti-
mately leaves the skin harsh and brasil
Here is one that can easily be made at
home; but, like the others, it is drying,
so be sure to counterfeit this effect by
applying cold cream after using it.

half an ounce of Tactic acid. Apply
this with a soft cloth.
