The Philadelphia ?Umc gives tLo
following hints concerning the remodel
ing of last year's dresses, and how to
make and mend "pring garments:
Useful mothers are bringing out last

Cheap goods are rarely worth making
over, while all woolen materials of good
quality may be used again and again:
These also pay best for dyeing, and two
dresses which have outlived their use

Black woolens should be sponged
with hartshorn water and Ironed while
damp. If very dirty wash like flannels
in luke-warm water, and rinsein indigo
water made as blue as possible. Do
not wring out, but hang up to drip, and
when nearly dry iron on the wrong side.
ew lower skirts are now made of the
dress material. English oambrio, cheap
lpaca or foulard silk, are usually em
ployed for the foundation. On this a
Jacing of the dress goods half a yard
deep is put, and on this facing the
plaitings, flounces, etc., are set. Plait
ing may be pieoed to any extent, the
joints being hidden in the folds. Bias
folds should be lined with Wiggins to
Kive them the proper set. Be careful
also to cut them exaotly on the bias,
xlie arm-holes are no longer corded.
In remodeling silk or woolen suits the
short poiuted revers collar, meeting at
the top of the darts, will be much used,
ihe popular plastron affords an excel
lent mode of covering the rubbed fronts
of dresses. Stitch it on both fronts
from collar to bottom, and work the
buttonholes over the old ones. When
!?e,.u AdraPery is too scant 'add a
width of the trimming material on one
Bide and bunch it up irregularly. The
accepted trimming for plain skirts is one
or two flounces cut straight and put on
in moh-wide plaits. These flounces are
usually deep enough to hide all that
part of the lower skirt not hidden by the
lODg underskirt. Silesia or drilling is
preferred to linen for dress lining by
many dressmakers. This is, however, a
matter of taste. Linen and lawn dresses
are not lined, but are made with the
renoh fell, whioh prevents the seams
BtretchiDg. To make this stitch on the
right side, trim the seams off close,
turn and stitch up once more on the
wrong side. In all bias seams on gar
ments which are meant to be washed,
stit ih a narrow, straight strip of cloth to
serve as a stay. Skirt braids should al-
e shrunk before using, else they
will draw in the wearing. White petti
coats which have cut out on the edges
may be made "as good as new " by put
ting on a ruffle of thin new cotton or
cambric, as the material may require.
Ihe ruffle may be easily maJe on the
Bewing machine.
Children's white dresses may be
lengthened by adding a band of inser
tion and a scant flounce of Eamburg
work on the bottom. If the dress is
plaited at the back, lengthen the body
by means of the trimming and piece the
plaiting at the top, where the added
trimming will cover it. Plain princess
dresses, white or colored, may be made
longer by cutting the edge out in van
dykes or tabs aud setting a plaited
flounce underneath a fashion popular
for new suits.
When sheets give way in the middle
tear them down the center and sew tie
outside edges together, thus bringini;

PISE'S PEAK SIGNAL STATION.
Wonders af the lllctteat Inhabited PanUa
r the Hlobe.
A Colorado correspondent of the Bos
ton Journal writes as follows: The
United States signal station at Pike's
peak is the highest signal station in the
world; it is also the highest iuhabited
portion of the globe. It was opened in
the month of September, 1873. That it
Was a wise provision of the government
in establishing a signal station at this
point is no longer questioned, the faots
having already demonstrated Its practi
cability, and tho present success prom
ises that Pike's peak signal station is
yet to stand at the head of all astronom
ical and meteorologioal 'stations in the
world. This point is wonderfully favor
ed by nature for the study of astronomy
and meteorology. The rarity of the at
mosphere brings out a remarkable bril
liancy and clearness to the stars and all
the heavenly bodies. The nights are
most always oloudlesn, and Cloady days
are the exception. Nine-tenths ef the
storms are below tho peak. The best
and most complete report of the last
total eclipse of the sun received at
Washington was the report of Professor
Loud, of Colorado college, from obser
vations taken at Pike's peak.
The signal station is now under the
charge of Sergeants Choate, Blake and
Sweeney. These officers are detailed
from the army because of their peculiar
adaptability and special qualifications
for the accurate execution of the nice
duties of taking astronomical and me
teorological observations. To Sergeant
Bufus Choate I am greatly indebted for
the particulars embodied in this article.
The summit of Pike's peak contains
sixty aores. It is 14,336 feet above the
level of the sea. On the highest point
stands the signal station, a rough stone
building twenty-four by thirty, one
story in height. It is divided into four
rooms officers' room, kitchen, store
room and woodroom. And here in this
bleak spot, nearly twenty miles from the
habitations of man, though three miles
nearer the heaven ly regions than most
parts of New England, these men live
the larger part of the year. The station
is three miles from the timber line,
where the greater part of vegetation
ceases. Short grass tufted with delicate
Alpine flowers struggle for an existence
against the frigidity of tho atmosphere
and creep toward the mountain top; but
there are hundreds of acres of cold gray
and reddish rocks where not a vestige of
verdure exists.
Like the dwellers of the Arotio regions,
the inhabitants of Pike's peak have but
two seasons summer and: winter. Two
months of summer August and Septem
ber and ten, long cold months of win
ter. The summer season passes quick
ly. The atmosphere is oongenial; the
many visitors at the peak enhance its
eooial life with joy, wonderment and
mirth. During the summer of 1878 up
ward of nine hundred people, in parties
of from five to thirty, visited the peak,
among them many ladies. They regis
tered from the four quarters of the globe,
and they all expressed admiration and
astonishment at the grandeur and sub
limity of the wonderful views as seen
from the peak. To behold a sunrise
from the peak is an event of a lifetime,
and for this purpose visitors often re
main over night at the station to be
ready to catch the first glimpse of the
sun as it appears above the horizon,
gilding with its bright rays the moun
tains, hills, valleys and plains, to the
wonder and delight of the amazed be
holder. The duties of the offhers are various.
Seven observations are taken daily; all
storms are closely watched, and each
special and distinctive charaoteristio
duly recorded. Sunrise and sunset de
mand close attention.. Every peculiari
ty of the heavenly regions is viewed and
a record made of the same, and monthly
reports of these records are sent to
headquarters at Washington. The
present year has been unusually prolifio
in sun-dogs, hioh are said to prognos
ticate earthquakes, subterranean explo
sions, immense freshets and troublous
times. A government offloe at Pike's
peak is no sinecure, for the officer must
buffet all storms and brave all weathers.
Occasionally an electrio storm visits the
peak. There is but little thunder ac
companying these storms, but tho
mountain seems all on fire. Sergeant
Choate iuforms me that when he was
out observing one of these storms it ap
peared as though the whole mountain
top was a sheet of electrio flame. It
came out of every rock and darted
around with wonderful audacity. It
played around him. aud. as he exoressed
it, shot down his back and darted out of
each boot-toe, and so completely filled
him with electricity that he oould not
retain his foolhold, but bounded and
rebounded from the rock like a rubber
ball; he felt as though a powerful
electrio battery was pouring fiery darts
all through him, and deeming "discre
tion tho better part of valor," he bound
ed into the signal station for preserva
tion. Sergeant Choate was at the srrinr.
in December, and on December 21 he
lelt for the peak, wearing Norwegian
suowshoes twelve feet in length. It
was a weary task and a dreary trip. The
first night out he slept in the snow on
the mountain's side. The second night
the mercury fell to twenty degrees be
low zero. He sought shelter in a desert
ed cabin, through whioh the wind whis
tled tunes anything but agreeable; here
he built a small fire, but avoided sleep,
fearing the extreme cold might produce
the sleep of death. The third day he

Africa.
A London letter, describing the anni
hilation of a British column under Lord
OhelmBford by 2,000 Zulus, at Borke's
Drift, in South Africa, says:
Some dozen miles from the camp at
Borke's Drift proper a small commis
sariat post had been stationed, near the
Tugela river, and not far from the fron
tier towns of Helpmakaar ftnd Grey,
town. Der.j, without any intrenohed
system of defense, utterly unprepared
to resist anything like a serions attack,
and never dreaming of danger, there
were a handful of volunteers, some men
of the Twenty-fourth, and some civil
ians, about eighty, all told. They were
nnder the command of a couple of
young lieutenants Bromhead, of the
Twenty-fourth, and Ouard, of the Royal
engineers. They knew nothing of the
bitter business that had been going on
at the camp, ' Their first intimation of
trouble arose from seeing fugitives
making for the river, and, in the dis
tance, natives in pursuit. Seeing d au
ger, the young lieutenants called their
men to arms and commenced to turn
their commissariat stores to account.
They had a vast quantity of meal in
bags and a large store of biscuit in tins.
These, under the yonhg engineer's di
rection, they hastily formed into a bar
ricade, with loop-holes for the rifles.
Meanwhile the outlook saw several of
the fugitives fall under the ESulu fire,
more particularly Lieutenant Cochill,
while crossing the river, the officer's
intention being to warn Greytown
and Helpmakaar of the danger they
were in from a Zulu advance.
Coghill and some half dosen or
more had got aWay from the
camp, charged with the duty of carrying
newB of the Zulu attack to the rear.
The little post at Borke's Drift appears
to have been altogether forgotten, ex
cept by the Zulu army, for the natives
who had pursued Coghill turned out to
be tne vanguard of another portion of
the victorious force which had captured
the Chelmsford convoy. It was at sun
set that between 3,000 and 4,000 of the
enemy appeared before Chard and
Bromhead's breastwork of meal-bags
and biscuit tinsi Waiting calmly for
their advance, the little garrison ponred
into tbem a volley that staggered them.
The fire was repeated, and the Zulus,
swarming over tboir dead, charged for
the most vulnerable part of the barri
cade, entered it, and were hurled back
at the point of ihe bayonet. Again and
again they returned to the breach,
which was closed up with their dead.
The garrison fought like devils. They
clubbed their rifles, they Used their
bayonets, the young lieutenants fought
with their swords. After each repulse
the men returned to their rifle practice,
keeping up a deadly fire. At the rear
of the barricade was a small wooden hos
pital. There were five patients in it
and a servant of Col. Harness. The
Zulus fired the hospital and the inmates
were burned to death, except Harness'
servant, who crept out and escaped in
the bush. Tne light of the flames
helped the garrison to see the foe
ana enabled tnem to avenge over
and over again the poor fellows in
the hospital. All through the night the
unequal contest went on ; the Zulus more
than once coming up to the breastwork
and seizing the rifle barrels which flung
among them a constant and deadly hail
of ballets. Some of them got inside the
impromptu fortress six different times,
but they were slaughtered to a man.
Assistant-Commissary Byrne was con
spicuous for his bravery. He was killed.
But few of the others fell, sheltered by
the bags and tins so admirably engi
neered by Lieut. Chard. Toward dawn
Lord Chelmsford Continued his retreat.
and reached Borke's Drift shortly after
the attacking hosts had withdrawn. The
Zulus evidently had good information of
ijord fjueimaiord s movements, for as
he came up they retired; and at first the
men at the beleaguered post thought
the fresh force appearing against the
gray sky-line was a new body of the
euemy. Tne isritisn colors, however.
soon made themselves manifest to the
outlook, and the gnrrison sent up a ring'
ing cheer, which was answered by their
oomrades, wno, as they advanced, found
grim evidence of the contest that had
only just been finished. The neighbor
hood of the Drift was strewn with Zulu
dead, 351 bodies lying thick about the
barricade, more particularly at the point
where they had been repulsed with the
bayonet. The bodies further away were
estimated at between 600 and 700, so
that Bromhead and Chard's company
had averaged ten Zulus killed per man.
They had not only done something to
ward wiping out the defeat at the camp,
out tney had saved Uraytown and Help
makaar, and, possibly, Natal itself; for
they hud clearly checked the advance of
the enemy, who would otherwise have
swarmed over the frontier, which he has
nevertheless crossed here and there in
small parties. It is thought at the Gape
tnatrevery man at If orke s Drift should
have the Victoria cross, and nobody in
London gainsays their title to the dis
tinction. They have covered themselves
with glory, and added another imperish
able laurel to the famous but unfortun
ate Twenty-fourth.

Frenoh; but on the day of his death
spoke only Italian.
A Lutheran clergyman, of Philadel
phia, informed Dr. Bush that Germans
and Swedes, of whom he had a large
number in his oongregation, when near
death always prayed in their native
languages, though some of thorn, he was
confident, bad not spoken them for fifty
or sixty j ears.
An ignorant servaut girl, ment oned
by Coleridge, during the delirium of a
fever repeated with perfect correctness
passages from a number of theological
works in Latin. Greek and Babinical
Hebrew. It was at length discovered
that she had been servant to a learned
clergyman, who was in the habit of
walking backward snd forward along a
passage by the kitchen, and there read-
ng aloud his favorite authors.
Dr. Aberorombie relates the case of a
child, four years old, who underwent
the operation of trepanning while in a
state of profound stupor from fracture
of the skull. After his recovery, he re
tained no reoolleotion either of the opera
tion or the aocident; yet, at the age of
fifteen, during the delirium of fever, he
gave his mother an exact description of.
the operation, of the persons present,
their dress and many other minute par
ticulars. The dnstrnotive progress of that Insidious
foe to life and health, Sorofnla. may be ar
rested by the aid of Soovill's Blood an 1 Liver
Birup, a botanio depnrent whioh rids the '-ys-tem
of every trace of scrofulous or syphilitio
poison, and enres eruptive and other diseases
Indicative of a tainted condition of the blood.
Among the maladies whioh it remedies are
white swellings, salt rheum, carbuncles, bil
iousness, the diseases incident to women, gout
and rhpnmatiem.
A Real Blessing to Women.
Mrs. Walter Hinckley, of Ootnit,
Mass., called, in company with her hus
band, on Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron
dont, N. Y., the proprietor of the medi
oine lately introduced into this place,
happily named FAVORITE REMEDY,
and made the following interesting state
ment: "For many years I had been a
great sufferer from what was called a
fibrous tumor; had seonred the assist
ance of the best accessible medical men
and used many of the patent medicines
recommended, bnt without obtaining
any relief. On the contrary, I grew
worse, until I had given np all hopes of
recovery. Onr neighbor, Mr. John M.
Handy, came from Rondout and brought
me a bottle of your FAVORITE REM
EDY. Before I had nsed half of it I
experienced a marked improvement,
and all mv neighbors noticed the great
change. I have taken some four or five
bottles, and am entirely free from pain;
gained flesh, appetite good, sleep well
in short, feel like a new lieine. I have
reoommended the FAVORITE REM
EDY to many of my acquaintance?, and
all, without an exception, aro loud in it?
praise. To say that I ffel tbankfnl is
expressing my gratitude in the mildest
form. You are at liberty, doctor, to re
fer to my case; anil I hope all will
believe me when I say that the FAVOR
ITE REMEDY has proved a real bless
ing to me, and that no woman suffering
from any of the complaints peculiar to
our sex oan afford to be without it. Bnt,
doctor, you mnst take more pains to tell
the people now to avoid tne mistakes
thoy have made. To this end, request
them to remember that yonr name i
Dr. David Kennedy and the medioine is
called (what it is, in faot) FAVORITE
UEMEJJi, prioe only one dollar, ana
that yon are a practicing pbvsician and
surgeon of RONDOUT. N. Y."
