Saving Silk Skirts.

An economical idea to make silk
skirts and petticoats wear longer is to
stitch piece Of cloth or cotton flannel
the exact shade of the silk to the back
of the skirt, where 1t is apt to be kick
ed out by the heels of the shoes This
has the effect of indefinitely prolonging
the life of the gown or skirt.

Apricot Pits.

Beirut exports annually about 1000
tons Of apricot pits. worth approx
mately $50 ton Many of the pits
are cracked by machinery. and the
price OF the kernels averages about
$15O ton. Most Of the kernels are
shipped to Germany and the remain
der to England and are principally
used for soaps and pharmaceutical
preparations. The entire business is
practically in the hands of one con-
Germ at Damascus. which buys on ac-
count Of German firm. This Damas-
Gus concern is the only one inDSyria
known to have machine for cracking
apricot pits.-C0nsular Report.

An Apron SUGGESTION.

To make kitchen aprons last twice
as long make a seam down the front.
Then when the front is wearing thin
sew the two sides Of the apron to-
gether and open the front seam and
the apron is practically new one. To
prevent pockets from catching on door
knobs and tearing put them on wrong
side of apron.

Very bad stains on marble will often
yield to treatment with unslaked lime

That Walter Soderberg actually calls
the Shishana Il fake can be seen from
n clipping from the Fairbanks Citizen
of a month ago which appears In the
Alaska column of the Nugget today.
Another part of the same article in the
Citizen says that the people of Fair
banks have now lost the fever and that
they are coming to realize that the new
camp was boosted too much.
Readers of the Nugget will remem-
Der that this paper pointed out some
good reasons why the accounts being
received about the Shishana should be
taken with a grain Of salt. At that
time some people had the idea that the
Nugget was trying to knock the strike
to keep the people in this camp just
as If the postponement OF the publca-
tion Of the real facts for a few weeks
would do any earthly good to anyone.
The fact really was that the Nugget
read between the lines of the reports
and was able to see that the descrip-
tion of the Shishana as a camp that
was "richer than Dawson, Nome or
Fairbanks" was either buncombe or
poppycock and the fact is now being
borne home to the dullest OF us that
