TO POST IN SEWING ROOM
Useful Hints on q Variety Of Matters,
That Are Well Worth Keeping In
the Memory.

Before trying to pull threads IN linen
for hemstitching or crocheting hand
kerchief edge, run a very damp piece
of cloth along the line where the
thread is to be pulled. You will be
surprised to see how easily the thread
will pull.
After threading a needle. be sure to
tie the knot in the end Of the thread
shipped from the spool. The thread
will then sew smoothly and without
kinking.
Next time you are hemstitching try
rubbing dry soap on the material
where the threads are to be pulled.
They will come out like magic. This
can be used on the finest or heaviest
materials without injuring them.
For mending torn net lace, take a
strong thread and needle and button
hole stitch loosely lengthwise in every
mesh. Having finished one row, turn
| the lace around and buttonhole In
every buttonhole which was just nm
ished, doing this until the tear is
mended.

ELIMINATING THE SANDBARS
Work of Thirty-one Years to Give
Astoria a Great Inland
Harbor.

At the mouth of the Columbia river
a curious and interesting work, be-
gun in 1885, is now nearing compile
ton. Miles Of trestles and piling
stretch far out into the ocean, form
ing jetties which are to free the re-
gion of sandbars. Already a seven
mile barrier has been erected on the
south side of the channel and short
er one to the north is now receiving
finishing touches, says Popular Me-
chanics. The space between the piles
is filled with rock, the material being
carried out over the trestles by means
of dump cars on narrOw-gauge rail-
road. Nearly 100000 tons of rock
will be used in the whole project, the
placing of which, together with other
expenses, represents an expenditure
Of $15,500,0O0. The post CT Astoria.
Ore, situated eight miles from the
mouth of the Columbia, will be made
one of the largest fresh-water harbors
in the world at the final completion
of the work. The river there is about
six miles wide, the city possessing a
protected harbor 20 miles long
Dredges have been installed to assist
currents created by the jetties in keep
ing the channel free from sand accu-
mutations.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

When ironing it is very good plan
to get a clean brick, a white one II
possible, as a stand. The iron will re-
tain heat much longer than If an open
ironstand be used.
When boiled and unboiled eggs get
mixed, spin them. and the boiled
ones will spin round quite fast. while
those which have not been cooked will
hardly spin round once.
Tar may be removed from the hands
by rubbing with the outside of fresh
orange or lemon peel and drying i'm
mediately. The volatile oils dissolve
tar so that it can be rubbed off.
When buttons are taken from an old
dress they should be strung on string
before putting them into the button
box.
When the hair is dry, lusterless and
brittle try rubbing few drops of cas-
tor oil we'll into the scalp.
A little lemon Juice added to the wa
ter in which the hair is washed will
keep 1t light and at the same time act
as tonic to the scalp
1t is said that the hands may be
speedily whitened by rubbing them
we'll for three nights successfully
with sweet almond oil and then dust
ing over them as much fine chalk as
they will retain.

To Wash Feather Pillows.

1t is possible to wash pillows with

borax water, to which a small guam

half t Ipful of borax to boiler

ammonia. Boil Is or 20 minutes.
After removing pillows from the boil

by laying on a washing board and APP
plying suds with stiff brush. Rinse
in two or three waters and hang out
on the line in a shady place to dry.
Shake pillow and change ends two or
three times a day. Bring pillows into

PETTICOAT HOLDS ITS OWN
Garment Has by No Means Been Re'e-
gated to the Background, as Some
Had Imagined.

The smartness that is only skirt
deep has no attraction at all for the
woman whose knowledge Of, and fond
ness for, dress is a deep-rooted. and
not merely an acquired taste. Under
the "hobble" tyranny, 1t is true, oppor-
tunities for much variety were. in a
double sense, limited, and the narrow
proportions of the tube skirt excluded
anything in the nature Of "fussy" un-
derwear. But the rout of the petticoat
and the suppression of the frill not
withstanding, no woman has regarded
the question Of lingerie as secondary
consideration, and hardly had the wide
skirt come into being than the petit
coat resumed its rustling sway once
more. Further, it openly declares its
presence, ignoring the ancient, if un-
written. law that a petticoat, though
it may be heard, should never be seen.
