TEMPTING DEATH,

In spite Of all that has been and Is
being done for the safety of elevator
travel, it has not been possible to
overcome carelessness and lack of
heed to the dangers which surround
the passenger who is disposed to dis
regard caution. A New York young
woman thoroughly acquainted with
elevators sought to save few minutes
by attempting to alight from the car
after the doors had started to close
and it had begun to descend. The re-
suit was that she was crushed SO Sc
verely that death soon followed. 1t was
through a similar attempt to leave a
moving car that another woman was
recently crushed to death in her own
apartment house, and the list is not
short OF others who have disregarded
good judgment In their eagerness to
accomplish the impossible,
Such attempts may have been en-
couraged by the success of previous
efforts and it would not be surprising
if such a practice was followed by a
large number who are familiar with
elevators, but 1t must be apparent
that each and every such display of
recklessness is simply a Irritation with
death. So slight is the excuse for the
taking CT such chances that 1t is far
better to lose 4 few minutes or sec
onds necessary TO make a return trip
than 1t is to throw away ones life or
invite serious injuries.
There is. however, a personal re-
sponsibility in such affairs which must
be recognized. Those who practice
such stunts must be prepared to pay
the price but there seems to be little
justification in such instances for
holding the elevator man for homicide.

CLEANING HATS.

To clean a white felt hat. Fill a
oven until it is quite hot. Then
quickly, with white flannel. rub the
hot flour into the felt very thoroughly
and dust it off with a perfectly clean
brush or a white cloth.
The hat will be as new.
White straw hats can be cleaned,
and the sunburn removed, as follows
Warm a lemon, squeeze it into a saucer,
and add a teaspoonful Of powdered
sulphur.
Brush this well on the hat, rinse
several times in cold water, wipe
with a dry cloth, and finally dry in
the shade. That hat will be as when
you bought it.
Artificial flowers may be restored
in many cas- es-not abby holding
them for couple of minutes in the
steam of boiling water.
Black felt hats can be made quite
nice if well rubbed with benzine. Dry
in the open air.
Black chip hats, as a rule, only
need oi1ing. Use a little sweet oil, and

brush. DC this near a hot radiator
The hat will be quite stiff and glossy

UBIQUITOUS TIPS.

The facts which have been brought
out relative to tipping as the result
Of the investigation of the Pullman
company are not at all surprising. 1t
is only what is to be expected when
ever and wherever such a policy is
introduced. Even though the porters
are paid only $40 a month or there
ahouts and are allowed to accept tips
which amount to an average Of $T5 a
month there Is Ito reason to expect
that there would be any improvement
in the attention received by the trav-
cling public II the railroads paid the
porters a proper wage. as long as it is
impossible to prevent the giving of
tips.
It Is not to be supposed that If the
porters were paid 800 a month by
their employees that it would stop tip
ping. It is snobbish custom the
outgrowth of a practice by those who
have money to burn seeking extra at
fention, the very support of which
holds up to slight and extortion every
other person who is satisfied with
what ought to be considered regular
service and who in a great many in
stances are forced into the habit
though as a matter Of fact they can
not afford 1t.
There should be fair wages and
there should be proper treatment of
all patrons but those who. travel in
Pullman cars or seek service where
the tip system is in vogue are not
justified in expecting it unless the
poor man can equal the gratuities of
the rich, or until the giving Of tips is
abolished, but with that involving the
entire reconstruction Of certain human
natures it is an accomplishment which
may be hoped for but hardly expected

COLLARS AGAIN.

Now that high collars are in fash
ion again, the shops are selling COL
lar forms. You remember the forms
that we used to buy?-- They were
made of crinoline or buckram or net
mounted with stiffness and they sim
plified the making of a stiff, standing
collar most decidedly and they were
as uncomfortable as fashion de-
manded. The new forms are like
them in most respects, but they are
not uncomfortable. That is because
the new collar is not uncomfortable.
For it is low in the front, although
it is very high in back. That is to
say, the collar that needs stiffening
flares high at the back, but makes
a V-ciosing in front. One of these
forms could be easily covered with
silk or with chiffon.

TERRE HAurErs VICTORY.

The people of Terre Haute and in
solar as it concerned any other mu-
nicipality in that vicinity are to be
congratulated, not upon the political
corruption which 1t has been disclosed
existed there but upon the success
full and courageous manner in which
those who were responsible for such
a deplorable state Of affairs have been
brought to the bar of justice. It is
not the only city which has been DOM
mated by ring which placed personal
ambition before citizenship, but it is
to it's everlasting credit that having
discovered the disgraceful conditions
under which it was being run, it pro-
ceeded to wipe it out.
The twenty-seven, including the
mayor, who were convicted, were not
all who were concerned in the brazen
undetermined scheme to control the
future Of that city and gather in the
attendant profits. There were over a
hundred, including the various lieu
tenants who took part in the pulling
of the wires and the working out of
the many details. The leaders, how
ever, were those who put up the fight
to clear themselves Of the crime and
they must now pay the penalty which
is their desert.
Terre Haute was in the grasp Of a
dangerous gang of political robbers,
who are entitled to no mercy. What
they had accomplished under their
methods was but the beginning
Of well laid plan to attempt

SILK STOCKINGS.

If silk stockings before wearing are
washed in lukewarm water they be-
come more glossy and are also
strengthened. After each wearing
the stockings should be washed in
lukewarm water and white soap.
If the stockings are white they
should be put in dark room to dry.
Do not dry white or colored stockings
in the sun. The Japanese are said to
put all white silks in a dark closet to
dry. This keeps them from yellow
ing. The use of hot water and rub
bling should be avoided in the wash
ing of silks. A stocking with a Isle
top and foot will wear better than an
all silk one.
