continue to be used, the china silk
only adding n more fabric to the
! silken array. This new china silk Is
particularly liked for night robes. 1t
is usually in white, the surface being
too CLASSY for the pale pinks and blues
to appear sufficiently soft in color for
underwear.
A Few Helpful Hints.
Colored linens are 81 fashionable
that 1t Is we'll to know that delicate
shades may be kept from fading by
using plenty Of pulverized pure borax
in the water in which they are washed
and rinsed.
A weak solution Of alum will revive
the colors Of a faded carpet after a
thorough sweeping.
A piece Of lace or net stretched and
put under a hole in a lace curtain,
when pressed smooth with a warm
iron, will scarcely be visible.
Clean your sewing machine frequent
ly II you would have good service.
Kerosene oil and absorbent cotton are
admirable for the purpose. Follow with
a good l%ubricator.
Vegetable Marrow Jam.
Pare, seed and dice the marrow,
place in a deep e~arthenware vessel; to
each pound Of fruit allow n lemon
and one orange very thinly sliced,
sprinkle over it in layers, th~ree-quar-
tiers Of a pound Of sugar to each pound
Of fruit and leave for two days. Strain
the syrup and boil for half an hour,
Swimming it well; put in the fruit and
boil till tender, then add q few blanch-
ed and shredded almonds and a tea
spoonful Of ground ginger to each

we'll known York county lady. The
beverage Is called tea punch: One
quart boiling water. four tablespoon
fuls tea, one cupful ~granulated sugar,
Juice Of four lemons, one-half pint
apollinaris. Pour the boiling water

and bluff, suggesting the Revolution.
Going further into the subject OF COL
or, we find numerous summer ma
terial having stripes Of large d.
mansions and brilliant c%olorings.
Color combination continues to be
more daring with each season, until
now there appears, in an exhibition OF
ultra fashionable clothing, a pale pink
frock with a girdle Of purple, and q
yellow rose pinned upon the shoulder.
The description sounds unbearable,
but the purple, pink and yellow are
just the right shades for the blending
and fail to make the expected clash.
Such a combination is not a safe thing
O any but the expert to attempt,
however.

At the Top Of the Stairs.-A woman
from the south visiting New York for
the first time was much agitated when,
after being conveyed through the Hud-
son tube, she found herself in another
subway. Rushing up to a knowingly
looking individual, she asked, in an
agitated tone:
"Sir, do please tell me, where is New
York;"
Lady" said he with the utmost
gravity, " it's right at the top of
those stairs"

for a real railway job in Montreal, told
this story not very long before his
death:

mobile overturned at a railway cross

He Was Tired.-Frank lives in
Eastern avenue, says the Indianapolis
News. A few days ago his compan-
ion. George. caught his clothing on a
picket fence. He was held fast, his
feet a foot or two from the ground.
He pleaded with Frank to release him
or to run for help, but Frank refused.

his mother inquired from the front
porch.

Infant losie.-Burglars broke into a
Ravenna home a short time ago, and
made a very successful cleanup. In
the home were the mother and two
grown daughters, together with a
grandchild five years Of age, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The burglar
got valuable articles from each of the
adults in the family and they spent the
following day in feeling sorry for each
other. They expressed this mutual
sorrow and sympathy again and again,
until finally the child remarked:
well, I feel sorry for the burglar"
But why?"
Because he can never go to
heaven"
Well, isn't hat the feeling n
ought to have? 1t was told US as a
funny story, but it seems to us to be
a mighty fine example Of infant logic.

Francisco Villa.

The first time I saw General Fran
cisco Villa he was sitting on a fiat
car, which was attached to one Of his
troop trains then on its way to Chi
huahua. He had just finished a meal
Of tortillas and chilli and was singing
a song Of his own brave deeds, which
some Mexican poet had recently COM
posed.
The song was often interrupted
when the general would pick his yell
low teeth with a murderous looking
knife. which he used for all purposes.
1 had heard so much about the bandit
general that l instinctively approach
ed the fiat car with great caution or
maybe 1t was t~imidity-on my part.
The song was stopped while the
great northern leader glared at me.
The pink silk shirt he wore stuck to
his body on account Of the heat: his
face was unshaved, and remnants of
his recent meal still decorated his
mustache. I carried my camera in
my hand.
"Take My Picture"
AS I said before, / approached him
with great timidity, and stood tremb-
ling while he glowered at me from his
seat on the fiat If. His first words
startled me.
Take my picture" The knife was
laid aside as he threw out a huge
chest.
Eyes. sir! Yes, sir" I muttered,
fumbling with my camera. Yes, sir!"
When I exhausted my supply Of
films I started to interview him by
asking for his opinion Of Huerta. The
amount Of profanity this query in
duced made me resolve never to ask
that question again.
Cautiously l attempted the second
question.
What are your plans for the es-
Establishment Of a government in Next
coz"
He Strengthened up and squinted
his eyes. f1ourishing his fist and pulled
his mustache.'
81 am fighting for the poor people,"
he beloved, as he struck his paw in
my face. "The only thing I want is to
take everything away from the rich
people and give it to the poor"
But can this present generation Of
uneducated classes run the great in
dustries of Mexico?" 1 asked.
A Second Napoleon.
"Of course they WILL" he replied,
with great emphasis.
my guns and cannon can do any
thing. Where there is force there Is
power; where there is power there Is
a government. I am the savior of
Mexico. Even your companions, the
other p~eriodistas, call me the second
Napoleon, so I have to save myself"
He took out a small corn-husk
cigarette and fumbled in his pockets
for a match. 1 saw he couldn't find
one, so I reached for an automatic
pocket lighter in my bag.
Here, Senior General" I handed 1t
to him, lis a gift from your humble
servant. You will find it very USE
full"
Press that little button and you
will find out" I replied.
He turned the little nickel-plated
box in his hands and examined it
gingerly: hen he pressed the button.
True to its reputation. the tiny patent
spring opened and gave forth a gen.
erous flame. 1 have never seen such
a look Of terror come into any mans
face. He threw it from him with all
his might. and in a choking voice call
ed his guards and placed me under ar
rest.

give quicker attention and more consideration to the
we'll dressed man than you would to the man who is
careless of his enthusiastically if the wearer were a

ed Stationery, Booklets, etc, do not make a good, re-
liable merchant, a banker or other safe business man
but YOU know that YOU-unconsciously possibly
notice the difference in the quality of the printed matter
that passes through your hands. If a letter YOU re-
ceive is written on a poor quality OF paper and carries
a cheap looking printed heading YOU-unconsciously
possibly-put it down in your mind that the writer is
on a par with his stationery and 0 think of him just
that way. Well, if this be true then what does the
OTHER FELLOW think of o when YOUR sta
tionery is of the cheap, shoddy looking kind? Forms
the same kind of opinion of YOU that YOU would
form of HIM.
What kind of stationery do YOU use? Is it the
kind that leaves a bad taste or the kind that commands
attention by its very appearance-its Quality, if you
please? The better kind costs a little more-it's worth
more because it gets more-but a red stamp will carry
either kind. If O want YOUR stationery to COM

quent lien holders and subsequent
creditors the original owner of the

I'm view of difficulties that NAV
arise in satisfying distant lenders as
to the validity under all conditions of
warehouse receipts for cotton offered
them as collateral, it would seem that
for the present, at least, loans on cot
ton must be first negotiated through
local banks in the south. These banks
have now ample facilities which they
have never before enjoyed for redis-
counting the notes taken against such
loans and it is for them more than for
any other agency to determine the
policy of the south in regard to the
marketing the present cotton crop.
The results Of a gradual marketing of
the crop this season will be far more
satisfactory than would be the case
were the crop forced upon the market
within a short period.

serving the value Of the south's great
est asset and upon you, southern bank

country are considerably more than

requirements. Our gold holdings, over
two billion dollars, are larger than
those Of any other two countries com

up unprecedentedly, probably amount

six months of 1915. What better Sc
