USES FOR VINEGAR.

Vinegar is useful in many ways other than culinary. It will re, move shoe blacking from clothing.
 It will remove fly specks from almost anything windows, picture frames, woodwork, etc.
 Vinegar is something of a tonic for the skin, and cures roughness of the skin and chafing, if applied after washing the hands. It should be permitted to dry on.
 It will soften paintbrush on which the paint has been permitted to dry. Heat the vinegar to the boiling point and let the brush sim mer in it a few minutes. Then re- move it and wash it well in strong soapsuds.
 Vinegar is unrivaled as an agent for cleaning dirt and smoke from walls and woodwork, especially vel low pine. It should be applied with a flannel cloth, and the flan, nel washed out in clear water as soon as it becomes soiled and be- fore being dipped into the vinegar again This makes the vinegar an inexpensive cleaner, besides being the most satisfactory way in which the work can be done.

REFLECTIONS OF A
 BACHELOR GIRL.
] n ' . q (, . v q q to . . (

Never judge a mans love by the ardor of his first kiss, nor by the tenderness of his second, but by the eagerness with which he seeks the third.
 Nothing will make a woman hate you so much as agreeing with her when she tells you that her hus- band is a fool.
 Love lasts longer when it can look but not see, listen but not hear, know but remain silent.
 When a woman declares that her husband has never deceived her it Is sign that he has done it so sue, cessfully that she has never found him out.
 The automatic promptness with which man always invites pret- ty girl to luncheon at the first op- portunity shows that every man re- gards a woman as kitten or a

To make dress shields for sheer white waists, cut thin white flan- nel the size desired, trim the edge with narrow lace and tie in the dress with narrow tape They will keep the waist dry.
 When cutting pattern from goods that pulls, such as crepe de chine, crepe charmeuse, mousseline, chiffon baste the material to new paper or tissue paper and cut out by pattern through paper and ma teral.
 Before cutting buttonholes, if the material is inclined to fray, mark the position and length of each. then stitch with the machine close around this mark When the but tonholes are cut between the stitch ing there is a firm edge to work on
 To be sure a sleeve will set well when there are no notches as guides on the pattern, measure an inch back from the shoulder seam fold the armhole together and place the inner seam of the sleeve at front fold of armhole. For very stout person measure two inches,
 A little hook and eye, instead of stitches, will keep a shield in place. Place one hook at each end and one on the center of the curve. Match the places with eyes sewn to the bodice or guimpe. These hooks and eyes are most convenient for adjustable shields.
 Mexican stitch is used in connection with very conventional embroidery work and is usually used as the main outline of some design. It is made just like a blanket stitch, only much finer and Is really just a buttonhole stitch taken some dis tance apart at even intervals. The purl edge follows the marked out line of the pattern This stitch can be used with good effect on braided designs
 To darn table linen stretch the article smooth and tight in embroid- cry hoops Remove the presser foot from the sewing machine, loos- en the tension, slip the hoops un- der the needle and without turning the hoops sew back and forth until the hole is neatly filled Then turn the hoops and proceed in the same manner across the stitching already put in. The result is gratifying.

HAT RECEPTACLE.

Make your own hat box of paste board and cover it with wall paper or cretonne. Hinge the sides to the bottom of the box with baby ribbon run through eyelets. Make the top to hinge to one of the sides. This can be folded and carried in trunk, and is more convenient than regular hat box. For travelling on the train make a gray summer silk bag to cover the hat when placed on the car rack. Silk sheds the dust and will not permit it to sift through. Close both ends oi the bag with drawstring, and it will not then be necessary to draw the hat out from one end only, which sometimes breaks fragile trim mings when the hat is thrust into the bag.

SunAower Crop of
 Fairbanks Ruined

Those interested in the flower gardens of this city have been amazed at the excellent sunflowers that were growing in various yards in the city, for it is a well known fact that sunflowers are very sus- ceptible to frost and are therefore very hard to raise in this country. This year the hoodoo which usual ly has hung over the sunflower crop seemed to disappear, and the bright yellow flowers bloomed pro fusely in many of the gardens of the city. It had been the hope of some of the flower enthusiasts or Fairbanks to have a sunflower ex- hibit at the annual fair in Septem- Der, but those hopes were ruined by the frosts of Friday and Saturday nights. This frost simply froze the plants all up, and left nothing but flower had been. This is the first notice the town has had of the near approach of winter, and the gardeners are preparing to harvest their crops before the heavier frosts come and kill them.
 Other plants besides the sunflow- CTS also suffered from the frost, particularly the potatoes, and one may notice the withered top on the Irish vegetable in nearly every garden in the city.

Repairs Being Made
 At School Building

During the past week the work of repairing the Fairbanks school building was started, the work being in charge of Charles Fisher. part of raising the building and fix ing a permanent foundation.
 When work was begun it was found that the building on the Tur- ner street side had settled five inhc- es at one end and seven inches at the other end The cause for this sinking is not exactly known. but it is thought that it is due to the fact that the drippings from the caves of the building have routed the timbers which make up the foundation so that they had settled.
 For some time past the janitors of the school building have been troubled by the fact that the pipes would not drain the boiler in the building. and it was thought that something was wrong with the pipes or that they had become stopped up in some manner. When the work was begun, though, it was found that the building had settled so that the pipes were pointing al most up in the air, instead of being in their regular position, and it was impossible for the boiler to be drained at all. MT Kerler, janitor of the school, expressed surprise that the pipes had not frozen up during some cold spell and burst.
 The building is now being raised and permanent foundation is be- ing fixed right down in the frozen ground Owing to the fact that frozen ground has been encountered, it is thought by those in charge of the work that they will be some what slower than they had figured. and that the opening of school in the fall will be delayed somewhat on that account.
 Some slight repairs are to be
