CARE OF MEN'S CLOTHING. ■ew to RHOTtte It When It Shows Signs of lhabklneai. When partly worn suits are properly mended and renovated, It greatly Im proves their appearance and inake9 them last much longer than if this work Is neglected. When the back of the coat becomes shiny, sponge it well, lay a cloth over it and iron It dry. Place a piece of thin, firm goods under three cornered tears and tiny breaka when they occur and darn the edge* down to It. When the edges of the coat or vest become worn, remove the braid, if there is any, and replace It with new. The back of the vest often wears out before the rest of the gar ment, and when such is the case ro tnoT* the old back, press It carefully and use It as a pattern to cut the new one by. You can see how to put It In by examining a new vest. The corners ef the pockets should be sewed back in place as soon as they begin to tear down. A thorough brushing and cleaning are often necessary, but many cleaning fluids contain strong drugs which are neither necessary nor advisable for this purpose, as they often fade the Cloth. The following Is a very simple and effective method of cleaning coat collars and removing soiled spots from woolen clothing: Prepare a strong, foamy suds by dissolving pearline In bet water, dip a clean, stiff brush In It •nd scrub the soiled portion with It. An old toothbrush that has been dis carded for toilet purposes Is good for this work. Dip It in frequently, chang ing the suds for a clean one whenever It gets dirty. When the spots are re moved, scrub with clean water and hang It up until dry enough to Iron. Press It on the wrong side or if that Is not convenient cover the right side with a cloth and Iron until perfectly dry. Bow to Carry' a G». There are only two directions In which the muzzle of a gun can safely be pointed; these are up or down. A shot fired in air can scarcely injure any one or anything and one discharg ed into the ground Is equally harm less. Therefore, in all the different positions which the gun assumes, see that it Is pointed either up or down. Sometimes a man will be seen who carries his guu reversed, holding It by the muzzle while the fore end rests on the shoulder and the stock projects behind. Happily, this practice is not common, for It is extremely dangerous, and many men have been killed by carrying their guns In this way. If a man stumbles or steps in a hole or catches his foot on a root and falls, his gun will very likely be thrown for ward with the muzzle directly toward his body and may easily enough be dis charged. Sometimes one may see a boy or even a man who will carry the gun across the back of the neck, with one arm over the stock and the other over the barrels, sometimes with the hand resting on the muzzle. This is certain to give a very uncomfortable feeling to any one who happens to be walking by the side of the person carrying his gun In this fashion and opposite the muzzle end. While the danger of a discharge Is perhaps not great, It Is un pleasant to be walking along with a gun pointed at your neck or head.— Forest and Stream. They Were Fornlig Optatons. The club was full. Evening papers were at a premium. An atrocious crime had been that day committed, and ev ery member was reading the account of the tragedy and eagerly discussing the details. A foot had been found In the East river, a leg in the Hudson and the trunk of a body in the park. Loud were the expressions of horror and disgust. Sud denly a lull came over the crowd, and two small voices were heard above the modified din discussing the law of hu man nature which made people lean toward curiosity even In Its morbid tendency. The small voices grew louder and the argument stronger, until at last a man In tones of undisguised pity turned to the disputants and said: "So you think we are filled with mor bid curiosity?" One of the small voices replied that It looked very much as If that was the case. "Nothing of the kind," expostulated the former speaker. "You mistake our motive. We are merely disqualifying ourselves for Jury duty." The men with the small voices Imme diately seized the only two newspapers and devoured them with avidity.—New York Herald. What a Patent Costa, In the course of Its progress through the ofiice up to the Issue and mailing of a patent, says E. V. Smalley In The Century, an application passes through the hands of 52 persons. An applicant pays sls to have his claim examined, and in case he Is granted a patent an additional fee of S2O Is required. At torneys charge from $25 up, according to the work demanded by the cases, and as the applications number about 40,000 yearly It will be seen that there Is a good deal of money to be divided among the patent lawyers whose signs cover the faces of the buildings in the vicinity of the patent office. An Inventor Is not required to em ploy an attorney, but probably 99 out of 100 do. In simple cases where there Is no interference with prior claims an inventor can almost as well deal direct with the government, but In most case; the knowledge of the lawyer Is valua ble. He can study other Inventions ID the same line and knows how to make the claim of his client broad enough to cover all that Is new and valnable and not so broad as to be rejected.

The Australian Federation. As had been predicted for several months, the dawn of the twentieth century sees the birth of a m%w na tion—the federated commonwealth of Australia, formed by the union of the six British colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tas mania. The sis former colonies be come states of the new federation, which might be properly termed the United States of Australia. It is sig nificant that In organizing a scheme for national government the Austra lians followed the American rather than the Canadian plan as to the au tonomy of the states and the repre sentation In national legislation. All the members of both houses of the federal parliament are to be elected, the members of the lower house on the district plan followed in electing our congressmen, and the members of the senate, or upper ln>u.«e. by the voters in each state on t!n N plan followed in electing our congre.: m< 11 at large. The senate is constituted to represent the states and the Louse t-> represent the people, as in the Unit, i States. The new nation Is practically a re public, passing only nominal sover eignty to Great Britain, the imperial government being restricted to the ap pointment of an executive, whose du ties In the main are perfunctory and BO proscribed as not to interfere ma terially with the knlependence of the commonwealth. Except in name It is a sovereign state. If the British empire can welcome what is practically a republic In Aus tralla, why does it so strenuously seek to repress representative government in South Africa? Why should the Eng lish people hesitate to accord to the latter a system of government as Mb eral and as enlightened as to the for mer? The of a Hoodoo Hat. Mr. John Cooper, one of Dooly coun ty's most prominent citizens, Is In the city on his way to Augusta to attend the old veterans' reunion. When he got off the train, he looked up Captain Warren Moseley, one of the bravest of the boys who went out In the sixties, and they Immediately began swapping reminiscences about their army life in Virginia. Finally Mr. Cooper asked Captain Moseley if he remembered the Yankee hat. A reporter who was stand ing there heard the following story, which both men vouch for as being ab solutely true: On the first day of the battle of Win chester a Yankee was killed so near the line of battle that a soldier of the name of McLendon, Company I, Fourth Georgia, picked up the hat and put It on and wore It. lie had not had It on his head for more than two hours when he was shot through the head, the bul let piercing the hat In almost the same hole that the bullet had entered that killed the Yankee. Another soldier of the name of Woo ten of Company 11, Fourth Georgia, picked up the hat and put it on, and in less than an hour he, too, was killed, the bullet striking him In the head near the place where the other two bullets had entered. The next day another soldier of the name of Kilpatrlck of Company n. Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat when he, too, was struck iu the head and killed. Although the hat was a fine one, It was left lying on the field, as there was 110 one who would wear It, as four men who had worn It were then cold and stiff, and each one had been shot through the hat In almost the same place.—Macon News. Cyclone Pranks. A traveler in the west, the Rev. C. T. Brady, says that of all the manifesta tions of power he ever witnessed, from an earthquake down, a cyclone is the most appalling. The midnight black ness of the funnel, the lightning dart ing from it in inconceivable fierceness, the strange crackling sound from its bosom, the suddenness of Its Irresisti ble attack, Its Incredibly swift motion, Its wild leaping and bounding, like a gigantic beast of prey, the awful roar which follows, all this but feebly char acterizes that strange ravager of the plains. He continues: The cyclone plays odd pranks. 1 have seen two horses lifted In air and carefully deposited, unharmed, In a field about au eighth of a mile away. I have seen chickens and geese picked clean of feathers and yet feebly alive. One house, I remember, had a hole ten feet In diameter cut out of Its roof, as if by a circular saw. I have seen the black, whirling cloud lift a build ing and shake it to pieces, as one shakes a pepper box. One of the worst cyclones I ever knew threw a heavy iron safe about as a child might toss a wooden alphabet block In play.

[Special Correspondence.] Former Governor Markham of Cali fornia, who represented his state at the late centennial celebration, the present governor being prevented from attend ing the ceremony because of a law for bidding him to leave the stake for such a purpose, remained over in this city, some days in order that his daughter, stx: !ying art here, might accompany Lim on his return trip to his home. Markham was in the Forty a congress, and his present visit here has been of special interest to him, because of the opportunity it has given him to observe changes and im provements in the city during the last 34 years. "The features of Washington which have impressed me most favorably," said Governor Markham, "are the re markable beneficial changes that have taken place. When I was here in the Forty-ninth congress, my home was on lowa circle, and that was about as far out as civilization then went. I re member the little bobtail cars we then had to carry us to the eapitol. I was here last spring, and was surpris ed at the wonderful progress that had been made. We find people every where speaking of Washington as a beautiful city. I think it is becoming largely a city of education on broad lines. It is certainly a beautiful place for any one to live in. "I have no doubt that the people of the country at large are growing more and more in favor of making this 'the city' of the country—a city worthy of the position it occupies as the capital of the nation. So far as I can remem ber I have never heard an objection from any one in California against making the capital as beautiful as it is possible to make it. I should be very glad to see something done with the White House, which is inadequate for the purposes it is intended to fulfill. I find a much more favorable feeling toward the District of Columbia in congress now than when I was here in the Forty-ninth congress. It was then hard to make congress feel that It should do much for this city." Few Offices to De Filled. If the president continues in the same frame of mind as he has for some time, there will be few important changes in the vast army of office holders after March 4. The president holds the view that the officeholders believe they were "re-elected" when the November elections sustained the chief executive and his party. They are all looking forward to four more years and do not expect to be molested. There is already some demand on the president for diplomatic, consular and other good places in the government service, but the president is giving no encouragement to the friends of ap plicants. On the other hand, he is rather discouraging in his remarks. He has given several statesmen to under stand that unless vacancies occur in the usual way there will be no open ings for candidates. It is probable that the president would like to give places to some warm friends and earnest supporters, but he cannot do so when he has uothiug to give. There is an element of the Republicans that urges that those who have had four years In the green fields of political life should give way to others who have worked for years for the party and its candidates without receiving any reward. This element, however, has little to hope for. All of those holding office unaer the president are, with few exceptions, most competent men, refiectiug credit upon themselves and their government, and the presi dent will take no chances in making needless changes. At any rate he will avoid doing so simply to give posi tions to persons who hanker after gov ernment service. Inaugural Day Decorations. The inaugural committee will make a strenuous endeavor to have the street decorations and illuminations more handsome and dignified than on -any former occasion. Chairman Edson's Idea is that every householder and merchant along the line of march, and throughout the city, for that matter, shall display an American flag from every window of his or her premises. The committee would like for the peo ple to get away, it is understood, from the old idea of decoration, which in cluded an incongruous stringing of varicolored bunting that with the first touch of rain either faded out entire ly or else mingled Its colors so that the cotton cloth soon became most un sightly. Mr. Edson believes that flags float ing from nil windows make the best, the most uniform and the handsomest of decorations, and he urged upon Chairman Wine of the subcommittee ou street decoration the importance of bringing out this style of building adornment in the work of his commit teemen. Mr. Edson's Idea as to illu minations is that every establishment nlong Pennsylvania avenue shall make some sort of an electrical display. Mew Scheme to Get a Job. One oft je latest schemes to secure a position has been brought out at the White House. A southern man who has for many months loitered around the White House and departments in search of some minor place and failed in bis efforts conceived the Idea of dis covering an alleged plot to assassinate the president, believing that his sup nosed sagacity and promptness would be rewarded with a position, lie hr.s told his story to several people, but they all refused to believe In the alleg ed plot The man has written of the plot to the White House, but no atteti tion is paid to his story.
