HINT FOR HANGING PICTURES

How Difficulty of MaMng Nall Hold in Platter Wall May Be Overcome. Most -people at some time or other, , in hanging pictures, have come across a plaster wall in, which It Is most difficult to make a nail “hold," and it is for occasions of this kind that the hint contained in our sketch will be found useful. . A small circular or square piece of wood, leveled at the edges, should be made, with a' small brass hook

. L?-jcqi * V i\ - screwed In the center and four holes drilled near the edge for nails. This little contrivance may be firmly glued to the wall and also- nails driven through the tour holes to fasten It in place more securely stilt The wood may be painted or stained a color to match the wall and, therefore, be scarcely visible. The piece of wood should be about the thickness of the length of the screw attached to the hook, and hooks suitable for this purpose may be obtained from any ironmongers. - The lower diagram shows a section of the wood and illustrates very clearly how it may be fastened to the wall with nails and glue, - i '‘" ‘ To Bet Color In Summer Dresses. . After carefully removing the soiled spots in your summer dresses plunge them into boiling water with one tablespoonful of coarse salt which has previously been melted.

just -enough color to the shirt waist* get-up. Other colors popular in neckwear are turquoise blue, coral, mauve, one. of the new greens and amber. Always these colors are found in extremely small quantltK, just a suggestion, and never enough to seem over-brilliant. The girl who likes rings can get quite a collection of pretty stones to match her various shirt waist accessories at a very, small sum. Dull silver rings with opaque stones can be picked up sometimes for only 50 cents. An imitation jade gives the right touch to the green get-up, a turquoise matrix to the turquoise blue accessories, while coral, amethyst and topas all find pleasing combinations.

TO PROTECT THIN STOCKINGS

Will Last Longer by Adding Two or Throe Kinds of Harness to One Pair. The popularity of thin stockings, which Include lisle and silk, has caused Individuals and firms to Invent all kinds of guards to make these thin stockings wearable. The woman who indulges In them has added two or three kinds of harness to one pair of stockings, but she makes by It in the end, for her stockings last longer and they do not show the large darns, which are not attractive with slippers and low pumps. The first protection is a round chamois pad, which is attached to the end of each corset elastic and goer between the top of the stocking and the steel hook. The pulling of the stocking comes against the chamois Instead of the metal and therefore one does not have those unsightly Jacob’s ladders which ruin the best- stockings ever made. Another safety device Is a toe guard of knitted silk. This comes in whita only and It can be worn under any color of stocking without showing because of Its shortness. This catches the impression of the toe and the silk tassels of brilliants.

Use for Old Sleeves.

In ripping up old waists and coats that have the old-fashioned big sleeves take and cut off the arm at the elbow or below, which might be required; now place the seams together and sew up to within a few inches of the top. The part that used to form the under arm portion, as it went into the arm hole, forms the front part; leave a 3%-inch place and then the sleeves form a point where the two upper sleeves were formerly gathered. Cut this point off the else Of the little boy’s waist. Lay the exact seams together now and cut them the middle of each former sleeve. For the side openings and face or bind; put a pocket each side and face the tops. Make six you have as many pairs ci pants as you have old sleeves, nice for play and good enough for school, If the cloth is fine. The curve In the under arm brings the front and the oval of the gathered part brings the fulness for the seat just right

Lace Revers.

Quite new are the flat revers of Irish, Duchesse or odd linen lace, with a frill of Valenciennes about two Inches wide around the edge. On a sheer embroidered batiste with a hint of pale pink tn the flowers was a side frill of the same material as the waist reaching well below the bust. The frill was edged with fine point de Paris lace in a wide round scallop shoplng a quaint design that might have been taken from some long forgotten treas

EVERYTHING SERENE AMONG PHILLIES.

President Horace Fogel of Philadelphia Nationals.

President Horace Fogel of the Philadelphia baseball club has again -labeled as- untruths- a few • rumors which had crept- out about his baH club. He denies with dignity that there is any friction between himself and Manager Charley Dooin. Everything is as serene as a moony June evening, and Fogel says he is going to call the detractors of his players

“NAPS” CANNOT TOUCH PLANK

Time Has Gone By When Heavy Hitting Clevelanders Have Any Terrors for Star Southpaw. . The time was when Connie Mack would no more think of sending .Eddie Plank, his star southpaw, against the Naps than he would of using Paddy Livingston on the mound against the Tigers, in the days when the Naps depended upon Lajoie, Bradley, Stovall, Turner, Bemis and other -righthanded batters to drive in the runs, Connie neve? sent Plank against the Naps except in eases where his other

pitchers were unable to work. In fact, the great veteran southpaw worked against the Naps but three times last year. He won two and lost one. But this year, things are different Cleveland depends upon left-handed batters for most of its offensive strength, and Plank simply delights in tackling them.

BASEBALL GOSSIP NEWS and NOTES UP to DATE

Jimmy Doyle continues to clout the bail. The National league has not made a triple play this year. ’ . --**4— Ball players seem extremely sensitive to epithets from umpires. Herzog, Sweeney and Miller are baV ting better than .300 for Boston. Christy Mathewson has not been particularly effective against the Cubs this season. Lew Ritchie and Harry Mclntire appear to be the whole Cub pitching staff this season. “Babe” Adams is showing that bis pitching in the Detroit series of 1909 Was not a flash In the pan. According to dope floating around, the Providence owners were going to sell their veteran catcher, Joe Peterson, and Pitcher Sime to the Orioles, but both deals have gone by the boards. -

to time. He affirms that Dooin Is the boss, and he has nothing In the way of criticism about his conduct or that of any of the players. They’re all right, Horace says.

Keep Track of Pitcher.

Baseball fans are having a hard time this year keeping track of the twlrlers.

UMPIRE SHOWS HIS METTLE

Billy Evans, Made Target of by Pop Bottle Throwers, Refuses to . - Move—ls Cheered. "Umpires are brave men—at least tbe great majority of them. One of the bravest things I ever saw was the act of Billy Evans on the old White Sox grounds In Chicago,” writes Hugh Fullerton in the American Magazine. “On that park, happily, now vacated, there was a tier of seats known as the stock yards, in which gathered one of tbe most dangerous crowds (for umpires) In the country. They were regulars who occupied the same seats almost every day, and who fought for them. These seats, of course,_were not reserved, but hundreds claimed a title to certain places. They paid their quarters and if anyone was In the place and refused to move, he was tossed out and thrown over the heads of the crowd to the bottom. “That crowd started after Evans, who had given a close decision at third base against Chicago. Evans walked over onto foul ground, back of first base and a shower of bottles fell around ‘him. It looked as if a hundred men were throwing bottles at the umpire. One bottle touched his cap, several bounded and struck him, one hit him on the arm. < “During this bombardment Evans did not turn his head. He stood watching the batter. For at least three minutes the battle whistled around his head. The people in the grand stand shouted for him to run, fearing he would be killed. The players begged him to move into the diamond out of range. He stood rtlll, with his back th his foes, until the batter made a base hit, then trotted 1 down nearer second base to watch for a play there. “As the opposing nine took the field a few moments later Evans walked to the same position back of first base, and the crowd that had tried to kill him stood up and cheered him. They recognized a brave man. One fellow threw a bottle, and the crowd pitched him down the steep steps, passing him along until he hit the fence.”

Jim Vaughn continues to be the Highlanders* hope. A couple of real pitchers would not hurt the White Sox team. Jimmy Callahan daily demonstrates what an old head does for a team. Honus Wagner looks natural al the top of the National leagua hitters. Not even a railroad wreck seems to stop the Cardinals in their mad race for the top., Roger Bresnahan’s meh decline to be counted out of the running before the last game. President Lynch hays he will uphold his officials against bodily assaults even if not against verbal. > Jimmy Johnson, with the White Sox on their spring training jaunt, is batting near the .300 mark in the Southern league. He is one of Birmingham’s reliable man, both at bat and la the field.

QUAKER FANS ARE CENSURED

Washington Player Complains That Champion Athletic Team Is Often Roasted Without Cause. According to the views of some of the players on the Washington team, the fans in Philadelphia are the most inconsiderate in their treatment of their own players to be found anywhere in the country, with the fans of St. Louis a close second. “There’s some excuse for the fans In St. Louis to feel that the price they pay for tickets gives them the right to get after a team that is so persistently in last place, but what explanation can the Philadelphia fans make for such conduct?” asked one of MeAleer’s boys. “When we went over to Philadelphia to play last month the people in that city were getting their first chance to see the Athletics since that team set all fandom aflame by winning the world’s championship. "Did the fans rise up and give Mack’s champions the greeting they deserved? They did not They sat in their seats snarling and barking at Connie’s men for every little slip they made, actually hooting and Jeering at a team that had only six months before defeated the supposedly invincible Cubs. "Of course, everybody knows that the fans in Philadelphia are famous the world over for giving up early in the struggle if a visiting team gets in the lead, but who would believe that at the beginning of the season they would roast the players who had brought so much glory to that city?”

SHECKARD HELPS THE CUBS

Left Fielder's Work on Bases Is of Greatest Value In Run Getting of Chicago Team. • “Who is the most valuable man on the Cub baseball team?” . One Chicago fan asked that of another on the West side grounds the other day. “That is a question difficult to answer,” responded the other. “Schulte, Hofman, Sheckard, Chance, Tinker and Archer are all wonderful players and are doing an equal share to bring another pennant to Chicago. But I will say Jimmy Sheckard is not appreciated by the fans as much as Hofman, Schulte, Tinker or Chance. Why? That is a problem. He does not get

Jimmy Sheckard.

half the credit coming to him. I think it is because he Is so unassuming and modest in everything he' does. Not only that, but he seems so unconcerned In the field and at the plate. In that respect he is much like Schulte. "If is true Sheckard does not receive the praise he Is entitled to. Schulte may surpass him as far as driving In runs Is concerned, but he does not do much more toward getting points. Sheckard’s work probably Is overlooked because he has always been close to the top, or on top, of the batting order, where he has not been able to break up games with doubles or triples. Up to this season he has always followed Evers, In which position he has been forced to sacrifice frequently. Now he leads off and is de* pended upon to start the club on the road to victory in each game. That is where he has been of immense value to the team. His record proves this.'*

Jake Beckley's Breakfast

While Roger Bresnahan, the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was devouring a couple of soft-boiled eggs the other noon, he told a funny story on Jake Beckley. “Jake was ordering his breakfast on a diner one morning and-as he did not feel very hungry, he ordered one soft-boiled egg. He glanced through the bill of fare, but nothing else appealed to him, and he decided to order another egg. Instead of changing the one to a two, he put another one beside the one he had originally made and handed the order to the waiter. You can Imagine his surprise and consternation when the waiter brought in 11 soft-boiled eggs and proved Jake had ordered them all by showing him the figures on the order slip.”

TO STONE THE CHERRIES

** ally Tedlotrand Tirana Cherry pie is a toothsome bit, but when, the teeth bite on a stone much of the enjoyment is lost. Most carethey bake the pie, but that is a long and tedious operation unless performed with the assistance of the seeding machine Invented by a Pennsylvania man and shown in the illustration. The machine clamps to the edge of the kitchen table and has attached to it a plate to hold the cherries before the stones are removed. A plunger operates through a ring

Quicker and Better Than Hand.

that holds the fruit. : The- cherry is laid over this ring and the plunger pressed down, returning by the action of a spring. The downward pressure pushes the pit ahead of the plunger and it drops into a plate below. The good part of the fruit, cleaned much better and quicker than could be done by hand, drops into another dish.
