Care of Silk STOCKINGS.

OF course you know that nothing,
however durable, will wear either well
or long If not cared for properly.
Silk stockings are no exception to this
rule. They demand proper care. First
and foremost, washing every time the
stocking is worn is almost imperative.
Precipitation tends to rot the fiber, con-
seQuently the little holes that pop
out so Unexpectedly. Make a lather
from a mild white soap, swish" the
stockings about in 1t, rinse and iron
when quite damp. If the stocking is
only mercerized and you desire the
silky sheen, then rinse in water that
is a bit soapy and press damp. And
word about mending: Silk on cotton
and cotton on silk is easy to remember
and a deal more satisfactory In the
long run.

OurIosssa by Fire,


II one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States In a year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot sixty-fve feet wide, the highway
would extend from New York to Chi
cago, and the buildings would line it
on each side. Such is the calculation
of the department Of the interior Fur
thermore, a person travelling this scene
Of desolation would pass in every thou
sand feet q ruin from which an injured
person has been taken. At every three
quarters Of a mile he would encounter
the remains Of a human being who
had been burned to death.
For years, it is estimated, the amount
Of actual property annually consumed
by fire In this country reaches $780,
100000, and another sum Of about like
proportions is spent for the mainte-
nance Of fire departments, waterworks.

Manicians of the Pen.

While W. W. Jacobs confesses that
he often sits. pen in hand, a whole

word on paper, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has written a story Of 1900

Even such a painstaking writer as the
late r. L. Stevenson had his spasms
of lightning work, in one Of which he
completed his famous "Jekyll and
Hyde" story within seven days, and
Hall Game wrote the first and last
lines of his Life of COleridge" in three
weeks. While Sir J. NJ. Barrie counts
500 or GOO words good days work"
II. G. Wells has often written 10000
words between breakfast and bed, and
Mrs. l. T. Meade has produced 10000
words in a busy day.
The late Andrew Lang. when in the
mood, has more than once written
5000 words of a book between break
fast and a late luncheon. and it Is said
that S. r. Crockett wrote the last half

A Life Prsserver of Sheet Metal.


Metal swimming plates have made
their appearance in the field OF lie
preservers. They consist Of metal
parts put together just like two tin
pie plates soldered with their faces
Joining, allowing the space between
them as a dead air chamber, says the
Popular Science Monthly. The ad-
vantage of these plates lies In the fact
that they will not rot or crumble like
a cork life preserver. A properly ap-
piled paint prevents rusting, and they
are always ready for use. They do not
have to be inflated like the water
wings which are used by some SWIM
mers. There is no danger Of leaks
or punctures, and the total weight OF
the appliance is about three pounds.
The plates are not uncomfortable 10
wear, and they allow free arm move
ment to the swimmer. Three OF the
plates are joined together with a web
band having a shoulder strap which
buckles about the body under the arms,
with two plates on the back and one
on the chest Small wire loops makS

Mozart's Music,

A recent biOgrapher says Of Mozart
that the most wonderful fact about
him was that he directed his art to-
ward success without any sacrifice OF
himself and his music was always
written with regard 10 its effect upon
the public. Somehow 1t does not lose
by this, and it says exactly what he
wishes it to say. In this he was helped
by his delicate perceptions, his shrewd-
ness and his sense Of irony. He de-
spised his audience. but he held him
self in great esteem. He made no con-
cessions that he need blush for; he de-
ceived the public. but he guided it as
we'll He gave the people the illusion
that they understood his ideas, while
as a matter of fact the applause that
greeted his works was excited only by
passages which were solely composed
for applause.

The First Iron BRIDGE.

The first iron bridge ever erected in
the world and which is in constant use
at the present time spans a little river
In the county of Salop on the railroad
leading from Shrewsbury to Worcester,
England. 1t was built in the year ITS
and is exactly ninety-six feet in length
The total amount of iron used In its
construction was 3IS tons. Stephenson,
the great engineer, in writing concern
ing it said. When We consider the fact
that the casting of iron was at that
time in its infancy we are convinced
that unblushing audacity alone could
conceive and carry into execution such
an undertaking"

Grease Spots,

Grease spots can be removed with
gasoline or with ether. But careful
manipulation is necessary. Gasoline
and ether must be kept away from
any fame. Pour enough gasoline or
ether on a tablespoonful Of starch to
make a paste. place the paste on the
under side of the spot and allow to re-
main several minutes. Brush OF the
starch when il is dry. Ether evapo-
rates more rapidly than gasoline and
leaves no unpleasant odor.

URGES LAWS TO GIVE ALLIES ONE
 BILLION CREDIT
Harding Declares U. S. Has Common Cause With
 Entente.

Calling for legislation to enable the United States to extend credit or $1,O0O, 100000 to the Entente Allies at once, w. P. J. Harding, chairman Of the Federal Reserve Board, made an address at a dinner of the Quill club, at the Manhattan Hotel, which was greeted with great applause. Part1cu- lar enthusiasm was aroused when MT Harding recommended giving Great Britain and Francce, asking no se- curity but the simple obligation of the two countries.
 Veal appreciate" said MT Hard ing, sthe extreme gravity of the pres ent situation, and, while we cannot look into the future, it seems reason ably certain that this country is going to be drawn into the great struggle We have, as American citizens, cer- tain clearly defined cuties. It Is a time when all elements of the com munity shall stand together for Am erica This is no time to harbor pre- judices. We should remember that we have 8 common cause. My per sonal opinion is that it is clearly the duty of every man of influence to ex- ert every honorable means in his power for the purpose of inducing congress to do what it can do most quickly and effectively in the pres ent crisis.
 Congress can very speedily pro- vide the surest means of defence by enacting a law which would enable the government to lend it's credit to those who are fighting for the same cause. It is my personal opinion that this government should in that con- tingency extend to the Allied Powers a credit of one billion dollars, talk ing As security their own obligations. That would be an effective measure of defence. It would protect us against a foreign invasion and from a. premature peace to which we were no. party. If we secure that measure of protection we can look the future in the face. Everything else has been discounted. No shock can arise for which the public is not prepared"

IRISH TO PUNISH
 GOVERNMENT BY
 FORCING ELECTION
Dillon Makes Threat on Re-
 fusal to Publish Court Proceedings.

London, March 22.-Ireland will punish" the English governme ent by welcoming general election and by opposing theNbill for a prolongation of the present parliament in order to force a general election John Dil- lon, Irish Nationalist. leader, has de- clared on the floor or the House of Commons.
 MT. Dillon made this threat in pro- testing against the governments re- fusal to publish the proceedings of the court martial of Sim Fein men in Dublin, and by his protest he viola ted MT. Asquith's pledge.
 He also referred to the recent state ment of Andrew Bonar Law, Chancel- Tor of the Exchequer, regarding a settlement of the Irish question, say ing the nationaIists would not injure the government in the prosecution of the war.
 But there were no other ways, MT. Dillon said, of punishing the gover- ment, which had let itself loose in Ireland. If MT. Bonar Law raised anti-Irish feeling in London, ne said he would find the Irish could fight as well, and many things would come out of the situation that the honor able gentleman and his friends would not like.
 Irishmen, continued Mr. Dillon, would ask what were the relations between the Ulster leaders and Baron Kuhlmann, who was ;n Ulster oe.or. the war, and what about the despatch sent by Kuhlmann to Berlin, on the receipt of which them Emperor de- termined to go on with the war. An ant-Irish election in England. MT. Dill Ion concluded, would cause a disturb ance which would spread throughout the empire and to America.
 Henry Edward Duke, Chief Secre- tary for Ireland, in defending the government, denied that there was any specific pledge to publish the re- port of the court martial, and said that in view of the grave situation in Ireland the government had decided that publication of it would be preju- dicial to the welfare of the country and might lead to disorder and blood shed in Ireland.
 Joseph Devlin, nationalist, support ing MT. Dillon, declared that the Chief Secretary for Ireland was being ter rorized by the reactionaries of Dub lin Castle. If the government precipi- tated elections. MT. Devlin added, he wished them joy in the result The government could not assai1 Irishmen at home without assailing the gallant men fighting it's battles at the front. MT. Dev1in concluded
