Bigger Than 1t Looks.
To Hold Needles.

An unusual needle case can be made
by covering two tiny bottles with either
silk or mercerized cotton in a simple
Hcrochet stitch. One of these bottles is
used for large needles and the other for
finer ones. The covers are drawn close
ly about the neck of the bottles and
fastened. Then crochet two or three
strings of chainstitching and connect the
two bottles. A good plan is to use diff
ferent colors for the covers. so that the
needles can easily be distinguished. 1t

extremely useful article to have in the

place or the charged conductor
is taken by an electrified cloud,
and the earth beneath serves as
the object which draws its fire"
But the strength Of the dis
charge depends upon the density
of the charge on the conductor
The charge resides upon the sur
face. and if more and more cleo
IRRIGATION is given To- the same
conductor the density increases
until the strain upon the sur,
rounding air becomes so great
that II can no longer be borne,
and then discharge takes place
through the air which instantly
relieves the strain by lowering
tine pressure.
Now, ON "a thunder cloud which
is composed of billions upon bill

each of which has contributed its
electrical -charge To the common
stock, the density, or potential
becomes enormous. and. when the

the case in Prussia. One of the most
extreme cases of this sort is reported
from Breslau. /
The Breslau police have distinguishes
ed themselves, even among Prussian
officials, by their extreme methods in.

They have stopped funerals and re-
moved from caskets wreaths tied with
red ribbons entirely on account of
the color of the ribbons. One young
man who protested because such a
wreath was taken from his mothers
coffin was arrested and fined for re-
sistance TO the police.
The latest case also has to do with
funeral. Some time ago a Breslau
socialist. dying, left testamentary in
structions forbidding any religious ex-
ercises at his grave, CT even the pres
ence of a minister. The funeral was
held according to directions, the only
persons present being members of
the social democratic party. The au-
thorities have now begun criminal &C
ton against those in charge of the
funeral on the ground that the funeral
was "a public meeting" within the
purview of the law requiring that the
permission of the police be secured
for the holding of such a meeting g,
and that this permission was not OBJ

FOREIGN NEWS NOTES

London, June 23.-The king and
queen have reduced by almost half
the number of invitations issued for
castle. A year ago 10000 invitations
were issued. This year the number
is only 5000, SO several thousand peo-
pie will be disappointed in their hopes
of receiving the royal command"
The explanation is that last year
there was too great a crush, and those
who did attend were inconvenienced.
While the garden party is more
democratic than the usual court af-
fairs, all the members of parliament,
TO- example, receiving invitations, the
cards of admission are greatly sought
after. 1t was inaugurated by the late
King Edward TO enable him to get in

recent years many foreigners and col
onials have attended e function, but
as the number of tickets allotted to
the embassies likewise has been re-
diced this year, may American and
other visitors are among those DOOM
ed to disappointment.
Special trains take the guests to
Windsor, and there royal carriages
await the more distinguished. For the
rest, all sorts of conveyances are re-
Questioned. The patty is held on the
