To Mnkr Clothes Last. Never in home dressmaking cut any kind of woolen goods until it has been sponged, as cheap material is often not dampened before it is sold. To do this properly at home get an ironing board or ta»Me the width ot the good's, and cover with tightly stretched calico. Spread your cloth wrong side up cover with a linen cloth that has been well rung out in water, and then press with a hot iron the lengthwise of the goods. Never let the iron be still, and while pressing allow the goods to fall evenly onto a clean cloth placed on the floor. Not Necessarily lCxpenstre. It is not necessary to pay so much for a Gainsborough hat. It is of all hats the most reasonable. While it will accept a great deal, it will also no without much and will look well on a little, when any other hat would look skimp. The Gainsborough must ~e large and or good shape. Its crown must be of moderate height and its brim broad and inclined to be undu lating, that is, it must be a brim that can be bent or molded, turned or twisted. But when once the hat is secured, the worst is over. The rest is comparatively simple, for the Gains borough can be trimmed with odds and ends that would look out of place upon another hat. New Miirt Waist*. The new shirt waists are nearly all in light colors and in white, many showing a printed floral design and all bearing lace in one way or another. The largo square lace trimmed collar is still popular, the sailor knot be neath showing lace incrust, while the tucked sleeves form a puff at the wrist. The new woolen muslin is an excellent material for the pretty new blouse, which is an essential feature of milady's wardrobe, and this comes in plain and printed, show ing the most delicate combinations of color. A pretty blouse in pale yellow Tuscan silk had the finely tucked col lar and sleeves of material, trimmed with lace of the same shade in ap plique, while the tiny vest of finely tucked white muslin was crossed with narrow bands of pale yellow velvet fastened on the left with small buckles. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Western Equestrienne. Mrs. Minnie Austen, a typical wom an of the plains'," has recently been giving exhibitions of equestrianism at Portland, Ore., and has astonished many, even among the experienced plainsmen, by her daring feats. She is an absolutely fearless horsewoman, who delights in feats that seem haz ardous and in risks that appear dan gerous. The crowd of cowboys who were performing at the carnival dur ing the horse show were so confi dent of Mrs. Austen's ability that they were willing to back her to the ex tent of SIOO to ride any four-footed animal sent to the grounds. During the week Mrs. Austen has been nightly doing a tandem hurdle act that has proved immensely popular with the carnival visitors. With two spirited horses going at t'he utmost speed that vigorous whip-lashing could get out of them, she went tearing around the track, taking the three hurdles as clean as ever any famous hunter cleared a brush or fence. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Woman Census Taker. It was through the death of her hus band that Mrs. Daniel A. Button of Fontiac, Mich., became the first wom an census enumerator a number of years ago. She had been in the habit of arranging and copying the work of her husband, who was one of the deputies appointed for census pur poses. When left alone Mrs. Button applied for her husband's position, indue time receiving the appointment. It was decided by the government after receiving her reports that the manufacturing statistics should be compiled for the first time in the his tory of the census, and this work was placed in her hands. Mrs. Button found it a difficult task, as she had to visit personally every manufactory, large or small, in the district, and as certain the amount and cost of ma terial used, the value of the articles purchased, the expense of production, p»"l the gain or loss per year.

Margaret Fuller. It is due to a woman's effort that a tablet has been erected as a memorial to Margaret Fuller, who was drowned many years ago off the Isle of Pines, Long Island, and on this spot the tab let to her has been placed. Margaret Fuller's real influence among women is only beginning to be understood. Hundreds of women who today are reaping eome results of her movement scarcely know of her existence, or if they do, it is merely as a member of the set of literary persons in Concord, Mass., when Emerson, Alcott an.l iho'se men were a unique coterie. As a matter of fact, Margaret Fuller was far loss associated with them than seems to be thought. She did indeed know tliem, as these men admired the type of women for which she stood, believing, as has since been demon strated, that woman was capable of embracing more opportunities than were then afforded her. Margaret Fuller was in the best sense of the word a broad-minded, in tellectual woman, says a writer in the Home Magazine. The men of her day considered her their mental equal, and, what was equally to the point, treatel her as such. She lectured and wrote, and her opinions were heard with respect. Her tragic death off the Long Is land shore on her return to this coun try with her husband and child, having married an Italian, is one of the events that has until recently been unmarked in any way. Her body was never recovered, and with the passing of time much that she did has been forgotten. It is Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake, who has at last done something to perpetuate her memory by raising money for the tablet ihat was put in place a few weeks ago. Although she lifis long admirc-d Margaret Fuller, it was not until several years ago that Mrs. Blake, who spends her sum mers on the Isle of Pines, found that she was within a short distance of the place where the former was drowned. Mrs. Blake immediately set about having a memorial of some sort erected there. With energy that has remained unflagging she has interest ed persons in the work, has held sale's, given teas, and resorted to other simi lar means to raise money, with the result that this season she found there was enough, an.l with simple ceremonies the tablet was unveiled. feUSM Flowers are used on cold-weather hats. Large white wings are much seen en the new toques. Pretty afternoon gowns are made of the gay silks and liberty satin foulard now shown in floral designs. Tucking promises to be used for waist trimming on every sort of ma terial that can possibly be tucked. A new fancy in corsets is the use of white velvet printed in colors with floral designs. This is a steip beyond the silk and satin of other years. The dog muff has made its appear ance in Paris. In the front is a deep padded pocket, in which the wearer's tiny pet can be safely deposited. Collecting scraps of lace to mount in an album is said to be a fad at pres ent among English women. Beneath each piece of lace is written the name and the date and place where it was obtained. Every now and again one sees jet combs, though they are not very uni versally worn, and there are uretty things in jet brooches to be found. These come in fancy designs, fleur-de lis, horseshoes, and in more conven tional patterns. Whits Indian cashmere is utilized for elaborate evening coats and one notable example from a Parisian de signer is combined witn black chantilly lace. A broad puffing of white chiffon down the front is held in place by jei motifs. Very attractive is a brooch, a long spray of acorn leaves and fruit, the leaves of diamonds, the lower part of the acorns each a single pink pearl and the upper part, in which the pearls are set, of a bronze gold, set with small diamonds. In bags of various kinds, those to carry in the '..and, chatelaine bags with silver frames and card eases are combined black and steel. Frequently the foundation of the bag or case will be of the jot beads and worked in will be a design of some sort in tho steel beads. Beading plays an important part in handlcercriefs. Very dainty little handkerchiefs have a line of beading on the exact edge in lieu of a hem, and inside this a line of embroidery, fine and delicate —anything heavy would be out of keeping—a slender vine with a little more elaborate work in the corners. In some of the hand kerchiefs the beaded edge is entirely straight, and in others it is slightly undulated. Perhaps the former is the most attractive UNIQUE BOOKKEEPING. Boxr Two Country Traile«inon Pro'iotid Themselves from LOM, During the sojourn of the deleratea to the convention of the Indiana Bankers' Association in this city last •week many interesting stories were related. One group of financiers fell to discussing the prosy subject of debit and credit, but with the stories that were told to illustrate cartain ideas the subject lost much of its dullness. "A friend of mine once ran across a queer system of keeping books in a little Southern town," said a bank er. "He was a traveling salesman and his territory included Tennes see. Naturally he grew pretty weU acquainted with his customers, wlfc were for the most part keepers of general stores. Happening in such an establishment one day he found the proprietor in the rear of the room poring intently over what seemed to be his ledger. My friend noticed that the old gentleman would mutter sav agely now and then and turning over a few leaves jot down a set of figures. After this process had been repeated several times my friend interrupted him with 'Mr. Hedges, what on earth are you doing here?" " 'Well. I'll tell you,' replied the old man. 'This here Bill Jones is a worthless scamp and lie has left town owing me $1.50. So I jest put it on Brown's account over hero (turning the leaves.) Then there's Charley Colson that got into a scrap the other night and was killed. He owed mo $2, so I put her over on Joe Smith's account. I tell you, brother, what ever goes in this here old book has got to come out, by the Eternal." "That reminds me of a story of strange methods of keeping accounts that I heard one time,"' spoke up an other financier. "This was in a little Western town. The proprietor of a store wanted togo on a visit out in the country one day and when he got ready to start he told his clerk, a mere lad, to kind of keep an eye on things while he was absent. 'You needn't be particular, about taking in money for what you sell," said the storekeeper. 'Just remember what you sold and who got it and I will put it on the books when I get home tonight.' "Well, when the old fellow arrived home that night he asked the boy how he had 'made out during the day. 'O pretty well.' said the lad. 'I sold a washboard and tub to Widow Hark ness, a currycomb and brush to Old Man Johnson, a tin bucket to Mrs. Leeds, a broom and a package of needles to Mrs. Branscomb, and — say, I sold some feller a horse collar, but blamed if 1 can remember who 1 sold it to.' "'Never mind about that,' said the the proprietor. 'lt'll be all right. I'll just charge all of my book customers with a horse collar.' And ho did put down a horse collar on every account he had in his ledger. The funny part of it was that all of them paid ex cept one man, and the storekeeper brought suit against him. Banking would be a soft snap if we could '*eep like that." —Indianapolis Journal. One Way or Getting Killed. Valentine Herman, 58 years old, ot 2171 Massachusetts aver.uo, died at 7 o'clock this morning at the City hos pital from injuries received in a pecu liar manner. Herman owned a cow an 1 .ie pas tured the animal near his home by tethering her to a post with a long rope. At milking time he untied the cow and attempted to lead her home. The cow i'.s not easily led and Herman tied one end of the rope about his waist as a precaution against her es cape. It was necessary for Herman to cross the Big Four tracks at Massa chusetts avenue to get home. He had gone only a short distance when the cow became frighten ?d at an approaching train and started to run. Herman was unable to keep the pace set by the cow and was dragged toward the tracks. The cow crossed safely in front of the train, while Herman dangled at the end of the rope on the other side of the track. The engine-men did not seo the rone and made no effort to stop. The engine struck the rope and both Herman and the cow were dragged and jerked violently before it broke. Herman was struck by the train. Three ribs were broken, a thumb was crushed and he was in jured internally, besides being cut about the body and head. The cow was only hlightly injured.—lndianap olis News. Hoapitnl for Football Men. A hospital for injured football play ers would seem to be a self-evident necessity in view of the great growth of the game, but to Manchester, Eng land, belongs the distinction of hav ing established the first institution of this kind. The hospital is fitted with all kinds of modern appliances, the chief of which is the costly Dowsing radiant heat system. This method consists of several electric heaters fitted with reflectors which cast the rays on the injured part. Matlock House is the name of the novel hos pital. Its proprietor is John Allison, himself an ardent for.tliall player, who knows how to sympathize with the athlete who has a twisted tendon or a broken bone. Mr. Allison has stud led surgery in the United States and on the continent. He is backed in his venture by a wealthy patron of sport in Manchester. —Chicago Tribune. Not R Bnrnlnir Crime.

The reason, Signor Mosso tells us, rwhy so few have attempted the ascent of the highest peaks oil tJie face of the learth, is the conviction that man can not withstand the ruriiied air of these altitudes. "Heroism shrinks from such prolonged sufferings as those due to lack of health." Ilis own experi ments and observations, however, give us assurance that man will be able slowly to accustom himself to the di minished barometric pressure of the Himalayas. "If birds," he says, "fly t3 tlie height of 2!),000 feet man ought to be able to reach the same altitude at a slow rate of progress."—Pearson's Magazine.
