HThe T hited Qepulchre X The VV Tale of O Pelee By Will Levi ng ton Comfort

Copyright. 1936, by Will Coprrliht. 157. by J. B. LirrixcoTT CIIAITER XV. (Continued.) Captain Negley had just stepped into the chart room. Laird was on the bridge. Plass, the second crfficer, on his way to the bridge to relieve or assist Laird, was felled at the door of the chart room. In the instant required to drag the body to shelter and close the door of the chart room, Captain Negley was overpowered by. the blizzard of steam, gas and livid stone. When consciousness returned to him he was lying across the body of Plass, and the ship wa rolling like a runaway buoy. The skipper regained his feet. In spite of t?rrible burns, he felt little pain. His limbs, below, the kn-es, were like wood. His left baud was yellow and inflated. Fire brands still screamed into the sea utsiJe, $nt the day was returning. The Indomitable Negley was first to reach the deck. ,the woodwork of which was burning An several places. He tried to shout, tvrit his throat wa3 closed by the hot dast. JThe body of a man was hanging over the railing of the bridge. It was Laird, with hi3 face burned away. The shock of Lis burns was beginn'ng to overpower the captain when Fufh, the third officer, untouched by fire, apinred from be-low. In a horrid tongueless vay, Negley fired the other to act, and :agt pered into the cabin passageway. Pugh hrieked up the hands and set to the fires and the ship's course. Out of the five sailors and three officers on deck when Pelee struck, Negley alone had retained the thinking faculty. Miss Stansbury was hurled from her chair. Appalled by the dread fact of dissolution, she lay in the primal darkness in the midst of falling glass. Macready was roping, calling for her. That she was unhurt seemed such a great matter to him and entirely insignificant to herself. Her lover had fallen. Their starry pavilion of the future was in blackness and ruin. It would have been better had Pelee found them together. Macready lifted her to a chair. The ports were gray instead of black, but 6plashed with the big seas. "lour friend is dead, Denny," she said harshly. "What's this you're talkin'? Tis no bit ar a geyser in a dirt pile as can tell him how t come an' go." The screaming of the natire women reached them from the hold. Macready opened the door, and a blast of terrible heat entered the cabin. The woman was clutching the arms of the chair and staring at him with the most pitiful eyes ever eea in child or woman. The swaying form of Negley was in the passageway, and something of the extent of the disaster broke upon the Irishman. "Bring him here !" she commanded, taking Negley's arm. "There, I can manag him ! Rur and get oils and lint I" He obeyed. The decks were covered with a paste that burned through his shoes. Black clouds were rolling out to sea. Deep thunder of a righteous source answered Felee's lamentations. The sailors were fighting fire and carrying their dead. The thin, shaken voice of Pugh came from the bridge. The engines were throbbing. "Eight miles at sea! Eight miles at tea!" Macready repeated. "Th' longarmed mountain an' what musht the infightin' have been!" In the store-room, he opened jars of oil and cartons of Lint and bandages, for the use of the men; then rushed back to the cabin with a portion. Nature finds work for strong hearts that have lost their heroes. Negley's cracked and twisted boots had been removed, and the ashes cleansed from his eyes and ears and mouth. Another valiant curse had emerged from a broken romance. The woman vho would have fainted yesterday at the smell of burnt flesh was cutting away the clothing from the captain's shoulder. When the ointments and wrappings had been applied to the skipper's wounds, she helped Macready carry the unconscious man to a berth. " Tis ralnin evenrhooalities out, he muttered genially, noti.ig that the work was life to her. "We must be nearly in-shore by this time," the said slowly. Denny's effervescence was now corked. Pugh had been putting the Madame out to sea sincv! he got control of her. The Irishman felt instinctively that the woman would want to go ashore, which' be didn't propose to allow. On the other hand, although he had nothing to do with the running of the ship, he didn't like the idea of saving the Madame at the price of her owner's life. "I-dunno," he answered carefully. Tis har-rd f see fur th' rain." His soft magic failed. "But the ship is moving ! he exclaimtd. "Denny, open the door!" Macready gave way. She heard the steady beat of the engines, and the big seas driving pa9t. She rushed at of the passageway, regardless of the flood, and peered over the main deck railing. There was no smoke, no familiar shadow of hills, but a leaden, tumultuous sky and the rollers of the open sea, beaten by a torrential shower. She crossed the charred" planking to the starboard side, drenched to the skin in an instant. There was no Pelee, no Saint Pierre! Macready tried to draw her to cover, but she turned upon him furiously. "YoqJaave let them put to sea you, his friend while he Is held back there, waiting for his ship?" "What could poor Dinny, that bosses th galleys, ma'am, do toward runnin the ship? Thlm byes 'ud say, 'Git back t' your patty-pans, you wipe! But I've thried, sore, t' kape th' lady from harum this day. You know Captain Negley " "Where's the first officer?" "Dead, ma'am." "And the second officer?" "Th same." "Who is putting out to sea?" "Third Officer Pugh, in the name av hl3 dirthy sowl." "Is that Pugh on the bridge?" "L't is." A moment later the officer in oil skins turned to face an apparition, wind-swept and drenched as if risen from the sea, who pulled at bis coat and called above the deluge: "Turn back to the city! Didn't they tell you that Mr. Constable is there and needs his ship?" "Go below, miss. I'm trying to save his ship for him.'' In a stunned way she stared at the officer. "Don't you know he wa3 to be back in two hours?" Pugh whirled around to Macready, who was stcudin? behind the woman. "You don't sem able to manage one passenger," he .said in an ugly tone. "I'm short-handed, but I'll get help for you !" The Irishman was too wise to reply. "But you must turn back !" the woman cried hopelessly. "Captain Negley would never leave his owner to die back there !" "Captain Negley is not in command now," Pugh said, his small eyes burning wickedly. "Get below or I'll call the sallrs to help you down. I don't need a worran and a sniveling valet to help m?. run the ship." Lara turned to the lad ler, brushed back the drenched hair from her eyes, and said coldly, slowly, "I see there is a coward iu command !" For that one instant she as a vivid replica of her mother. The viperine face ; if Pugh turned ashen under her eye3. j Uetching the main deck, she told Mac-!

LeTlniton Comfort Cosipaxt. All rijhts reserred J ready to bring two sailors Into the own er's cabin. A moment later she was bendIng over the unconscious form of the ship's commander in the berth. She seized his well hand. "Captain Negley! Oh, Captain Captain Negley!" Her voice ranged higher. The lips of the seaman moved. "It is I Miss Stansbury ! Listen to me just once ! Fugh i3 a coward a coward. He is running away! Mr. Constable is still ashore, and we arc miles at sea miles out to sea !" In a slight opening of the bandages appeared a dazed gray eye. "Do you hear. Captain Nezley? The coward Is running away, and Mr. Constable is ashore ! Push coward !" Nature was trying to right herself in the brain of the stricken seaman. In the gray eye, she watched the straggle as she impressed her message. It was torture to bring him back. He asked if the fires were out. He asked for Laird and Tlass. The simple problems of time and place were mountains to him. Macready entered with two sailors. N "Command Pugh to turn ibout! Oh, speak for me for me I" she Implored. Negley, tried to rise. "Bring Pugh here!" he mumbled. ' It was a sweet duty for Macready, whose colors had been lowered in the presence of the woman. Pugh gave an order to the man at the wheel, and followed the Irishman below. Lara had held the light in the gray eye. "What do you mean by putting out without the owner?" Negley demanded thickly. Pugh's black eyes roved from the face of his superior to the tailors; to the drenched woman who had caused It a; : to the hated Macready at the door. They were enemies all. "As I explained to the lady, I was trying to save the ship," he said. "Turn back to the harbor at once full speed!" Pugh hesitated. "Turn back, I say! Get out of here!" "But a fire-fly couldn't lire in there, sir!" -"Put him in irons you nen ! Negley commanded the sailors. "Macready, lift me to the bridge!" CnAITER XVI. It was after eleven when the Madame de Stael regained the harbor. The cloudburst had spent Itself. Out from :he land rolled an unctuous smudge which bore suggestions of the heinous impartiality of a great conflagration. The harbor was cluttered with wreckage, a doom-picture for the eyes of the seamen. Dimly, fitfully, through the pall, th-sy saw the ghosts of the shipping black hulls without helm or hope. The Madam ,'cntcd a deep-toned roar, but no answer was returned not a voice from ina wreckage, not the scream of a gull. A sailer heaved the lead, and the scathed steamer bored into the rising heat. Ahead was emptiness. The woman was standing forward on the main deck. The wind tunnelled through the smoke, and she saw the hills shorn of her ciry. The hope that the guns of Pslee hid been turned seaward was crushed with other hopes. A cry was wrung from her breast at last. The anchor chain was dropped, and two men were bearing the . brave Negley down from the bridg Macready hastened to the woman's si lo. "Arrange to get a small boat, Denny. We must go ashore :" she commanded, recovering self-possession. Macready felt that it was now time to force matters. "You can't go ashore yet, lady !" he exclaimed. "Feud bake a potatie here, sure, in the holla av . my hand. What,' thin, must it be in that pit av dishtruction?" He was staring in a smoke-stained face. The purpose there was immovable as granite. The voice that he heard made him wince with fear, lest she Bhould direct upon him words such as, had been Pugh's portion. "Mr. Macready, get a small boat ready ! I am going ashore." "Sure, an I'll go wit' you, ma'am," he said hastily. "I did not think you would withhold your aid from him, Denny. Make haste,' she added gently. The nailor whom Denny persuaded to accompany them was the old lion, Ernst, who bad held the launch at the pier so long, and who had been relieved for the last trip. Water, medicines, food, spirits and many ca-es of Ice, thickly wrapped in tarpaulin, were placed in a small boat. The woman suffered herself to be garbed according to the ideas of Macready. One of Constable's pith helmets was upon her head; his rain coat was buttoned about her, the sleeves rolled up to her hand; and a pair of his shoes was laced over her own. It was difficult to move about in this regalia, hut it kept off the withering draughts. The boat was lowered. A half-hour later, they were forced to pat back to the ship. Ernst was whim pering at the oars, his lips twisted in agony. Macready was silent, an eloquent signal of his failing endurance. Lara bad not swooned ; her will was not broken, but conditions had been encountered which flesh could not conquer. The boat was pulled about to the lee of the steamer, and at a port-hole glass she saw the sneering face of Pugh, still in irons. There in the boat the three renewed their strength, and another terrific down pour came to aid them. Lara sat in the stern, hands and lips tense, during the cloudburst. It was nearly two in the af ternoon when the boat was balled, the stock of Ice replenished, and a second start made. The sailors gave them a cheer. Deeper and deeper in toward the gray, low beach the little boat was pulled, its occupants the first to look upon the heaped and running over measure of Saint Pierre's destruction. Denny and Ernst took turns at the oars, sometimes pulling a single blade together. Bare running mates, they were, odd as two white men could be, but matched to a hair In courage. Ernst bent to his work, a grim, stolid mechanism. Denny jerked at the oars, and found breath .and energy remaining to assail I'ugh. with his barbed and poisoned tongue. The woman, in the stern of the boat, knelt before them, praising, cooling their faces with Ice, her words often Incoherent, but her spirit unconquerable. (To be continued.) fivt So Varirmm, Kit her.

Series ot Grim Morien from tko Court o Curupr. In the old days royalty thieved and swindled and murdercl pretty much as they liked. Thy are not supposed to do such things now perhaps because they are much more strictly looked after. But even iu these modern times princes of the blood royal have taken the lives of their fellow men. It U always an accident, of course; at least, so the official journals say, if they say anything at all. Only the other day an aged Servian peasant received an ollicial notice that his son, a private in the Servian army, was dead, aud that the body was being sent home for burial. Nothing was said as to the cause of death, and when the eoilin arrived the cid man Insisted on having it opened. On the lid being removed, the soldier's family were amazed to find a bullet wound in the body. Suspicions of foul play were aroused. Inquiries were made, and at last the truth was dragged from the reluctant ollicials. Au officer, they said, hud been practicing with his revolver, and, seeing the soldier with a cigarette in his mouth, he had bet that he could knock the tobacco ash from the tip of the cigarette. He raised his revolver, fired and missed. "Who was the officer the man who murdered my son?" the old man asked. They tried to put him off with all sorts of explanations, but at last he forced them to answer his question. "It was His Highness the Crown Prince !" Last July a hunting party, which Included the Emperor of Austria, went to shoot at Mitten Weissenbach, near Ischl. In a surprisingly short time they returned to Ischl, one of the party having been injured. An "inspired" communication was later sent to the press to the effect that Karon Krieghammer. Minister of War for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had fallen while shooting and Injured himself. The Baron, who was an old man ot 75, lingered for some time in great agony, but ten days after the accident he died. The public accepted the official account of the affair and promptly forgot about It. Some weeks afterward the facts began to filter through from court circles, and without it actually becoming public property the real story ol that fatal hunting expedition was whispered cautiously about Iu Vienna. The true facts were simply that about n quarter. of an hour after the party had started, the Emperor's grandson, Prince George of Bavaria, fired the first Shot, hitting Ilaron Krieghammer in the thigh. The minister fell tc the ground with a groan. Francis Joseph, who rushed to his assistance found him lying in a pool of blood. The unfortunate minister was carried back to Ischl, where attempts were made to remove the bullet. The offl cial version of the accident was onlj issued when It was seen that the Bar on's case was hopeless, aud that recov ery was Impossible. If a motorist who runs down and kills any one may be classed as a murderer, then at the present moment 1 murderer sits on a European throne. While traveling in his motor car a'. Pernersdorf the King of Saxony rat over a farmer named Starcke. Tht man was killed almost instantly. Kliij Frederick, who was one of the principals In the most unpleasant royal scan dal of recent years, was urged to grant some sort of compensation to the dead man's family. With truly regal mag iilficence His Majesty generously offer ed them 00! The final tragedy of Ludwig IL 01 Bavaria has never been satisfactory explained, and as both the chief acton are dead it must ever remain a hi tcrlcal mystery. Briefly, the affair happened in tl h way: Ludwig had been pronounced, mad. He was deposed and taken bj Dr. Von Gudden, a specialist in iusan Ity, to the Castle of Berg on the Lake of Starnberg. One evening the King and the doctoi went out walking together and thej never came back. Some hours later their bodies wen found floating in the lake. No on knows how they came there. "Inspired communications" said that Ludwig hac

thrown himself Into the lake, and thai Dr. Von Gudden had lost his life lr trying to rescue him. But how, then, can one explain th scratches on Von Guddeu's face and the bruise, as though from the blow of 8 fist? The King must have hated him for It was he who, with diabolical tact lessuess, told him bluntly that he was mad. Terrible things were whispered. Th story most widely believed was that Ludwig had drowned his companion and then. In a frenzy of madness, plunged into the lake. Pearson's Week ly. , Pointed with Scripture. A bachelor rector of a Westert church was alone in his study whet his housekeeper brought him the card of one of his parishioners, a splnstei of means and charm. When the lady was seated on the op poslte side of his study table the rectoi looked at her Inquiringly, expecting tc hear something concerning parish work. In which she was active. To his sur pne an embarrassed silence ensued during which he vainly sought for some thing to say. 'Dr. Blank," began the lady al last In faltering tones, "do you think can you fancy conditions under wblct a a woman Is justified In proposing?' "Why, yes," said the rector, aftei some deliberation. "Thou art the man!" said the lad resolutely. She was right. 'So Wonder. Mother (viciously scrubbing her small boy's face with soap aud water) Johnny, didn't I tell you never to blacken your face with burnt cork again? Here I have been scrubbing half au hour und it won't come off. Boy (between guli) I uch ain't your littlo boy uch, I'se Mose, de colored lady's boj Judge. Kollofvin Inntructlon. "How are you doing now?' "Oh, I'm worrying along!" "But, why worry?'' "Well, you see, I'm fulfilling of the scriptural injunction, 'Man was born to trouble!' "Atlanta Constitution. We have reached an age when to admit that a man may have an opinion different from ours, and not be either n foul or a scoundrel. As soon as a girl gets married she ' Logins to hear nothing but hard time.

Health and üeanty Hint. Almond meal, instead of soap, used on the hands will stop perspiration. The chest and bust can probably be developed more quickly by deep breathing than by any other method. For burns and scalds Cover with olive oil, then coat with the white of an egg. This is very beneficial. For a bad breath hold listerine and water in the mouth as long as possibleGargle with listerine after meals. If any member of the family Is very sick at the stomach beat up tho white of an egg and let him swallow it: It acts like a charm. Washing the eyes morning and night In water as hot as it can be borne is a wonderful tonic for those useful servants which are so easily Injured. For a slight cut there Is nothing better to control the hemorrhage than common nnglazed paper, such as is used by grocers and market men. Bind a piece on the cut. Tineapple juice is good for cleaning stains out of the hands. It should be well rubled in, left for a few minutes and then thoroughly washed with plenty of soap and warm water. For thick lids mop the place under the eye with spirits of camphor night and morning, letting it dry on. Also wet the lids, taking care that none of the spirits gets into the eye Itself. To prevent bed sores and to insure a comfortable bod for Invalids, make a pillow that will reach from shoulder to hips, not too wide, of some smooth material, such as sateen, etc. ; fill with whole flaxseeds. This will never lump or get hot or In any way uncomfortable. Not the least unpleasant, by any means, of the ills attendant upon a cold Is the uncomfortable, unbecoming cold sore or fever blister. If taken In time its further development can often be stopped by the application of a bit of alum. Moisten this rnd rub gently but thoroughly over the spot. If you have been n victim of colds with the approach of winter stop to consider the cause. In nine times out of ten it will be found that you are afraid of fresh air. Keep your windows up as far as they will go at night and the more windows you have the better chance will there be that you rout the cold habit. A poultice of witch hazel la often very soothing to a muscular pain and Is simply made. In n small saucepan put a square, foiled flannel cloth. Pour over this enough witch hazel to thoroughly moisten it ; heat and place the flannel cloth over the palu. Cover It with a dry flannel and pin a towel over It to keep it in place.

New Women In Turkey. Is the new woman about to capture Turkey? During Hie recent political agitation the unheard of spectacle was to be seen at Salonica of a woman of rank, the wife of a young Turk, parading unveiled through the streets with a banner, to the delight of her husband's partisans. At Monastlr many women, bent on political errands, traveled about alone. If this Is to be the result of a constitutional movement, what is to become of the prophet's strict command against women showing their faces in public? Gone will be the poet's dream of the dark-eyed beauties of Clrcassla leading lives of Indolence behind the screens of the mysterious harem. If the daughters of the near east, like the daughters of NIpion, are to adopt the fashions of Paris, go in for political economy, suffraglsin, socialism and small families, like British fashionables, and start women's clubs, platform campaigns and summer college courses like their American sisters, a whole world of tradition and romauecM will soon disappear. To Get Plump. The fat-producing foods are principally milk, cream, eggs, butter, olive oil; the sweets sugar, honey, sweet desserts, Jams, sweet fruits; the starchy vegetables potatoes peas, beans, corp., beets, wheat bread, rye, cereals of all kinds, rice, sago, etc. Of the fruits, peaches, grapes, bananas, prunes and figs are especially recommended. The only foods cut out of a thin person's diet are the condiments pickles, pepper, mustard, curry, salt, etc.; the acids, Including acid, fruits, the vinegar in salad dressing, etc., and the stimulants, tea and coffee. In CMe of a Fall. Not enough attention Is paid to the falls of childhood. Mothers get so used to children tumbling around that they take it quite lightly unless bones are broken. It should be remembered that injuries to the soft bones of a child may do permanent harm, especially If there be a head hurt. Keep the child quiet for a time who has had a hard fall, bathe tLc part freely with some soothing lotion, and if there seems to be trouble that docs not yield to simple home remedies, send for a doctor at once. Soft Leather U?lt. Some of the wide soft leather belts have a line of rather large steel nail heads set along the upper edge only and buckles covered wLn leather and ornamented with steel. Others are tooled In gold along the upper edge In a Greek key or scroll design end have large simple gold buckles curving In to fit the waist. These belts are among the favorite models In many exclusive shops and are offered in many shades or are made to order In almost any shade desired. New Buttonhole Pinn. The extremely large buttons used on coats end skirts have brought out a new way of cutting the buttonholes, for now, Instead of being Just a straight slit, vertical or horizontal, they slant upward, and the button Is sewed so that the lower end of the buttonhole Just reaches. This is quite an improvement, for buttons can not easily slip out of these holes. Anger Shorten Yoni I.lfe. Every time you give way to Impatience or anger you shorten your life by a calculable portion of time. The next time you get very angry Just study yourself during the reactionary period.

TWO STRIKING

Empire Kvenlnjj Goirn. For this good-looking gown one of the many beautiful flowered robes now so much In demand was employed. Our sketch shows the effectiveness of design on front of skirt as well as the clever arrangement on bodice. The shortwalsted girdle Is of soft satin ribbon fastened on left side under a bow which lias Ion; tasseled ends Just below depth. You will notice that you are very depressed and sad, that your blood Is sluggish and that your digestion is all wrong. The reason of this Is that In your moment of anger you- expended three or four times the ordinary amount of bodily tissue. As a consequence you can not be ytur normal self until the overdrawn tissue is replaced. You will note that people with very bad tempers never live very long, the excessive drafts upon the physical makeup eventually exhausting the latter. A certain amount of reasonable anger, however, acts upon the system as a veritable tonic. niushlnjr a Slcn of Sense. Sir Arthur Mitchell, K. C. B., of Edinburgh, who knows much that is strange about dreams, laughter and other commonplace human characteris tics, has just advanced the consoling theory that blushing is an achievement of which every one who can blush should be proud. He says It requires brains to blush. Idiots cannot blush, neither can animals. Sir Arthur cajls attention to the fact that tiny Infants do not blush, although they learn to at an early age, just as soon, In fact, as the brain begins to exercise Its functions. In blushing, he says, the mind always must be affected. It is always and only a bodily expression of a mental state. It is a natural thing for a blusher to say that he had tried not to blush. No Individual blushes of his own free wdll. The blush arises without call instantaneously and vanishes almost as quickly. Neither for Its coming nor Its going Is there any exercise of volition. It Is controlled, Sir Arthur says, solely by the brain, and is a positive sign that there Is an active brain there. A furo for Corns. Sufferers from corns or sensitive feet always dread hot weather, as feet are peculiarly susceptible to climatic changes. One woman who has liad trouble with a corn and callous places on the soles of her feet for years says that she was always uncomfortable from the time spring began until she learned to use wet compresses. Whenever her feet begin to sting and burn or her corn got sharp twinges she would tie up her feet In cold compresses over night. To make them she wrung out of ice water thick Turkish wash cloths and folded them in double folds over her feet. Over them she placed dry towels and a thin piece of rubber to shut la the moisture and prevent the bed from getting damp. In the morning the corn and callous spots were free from pain and soft enough to have the tops lifted out. The compresses were worn for two or three nights, until the entire trouble was removed. DAM Antiques in Jewelry are appreciated by the present day fashionables. Nothing is more ' exquisite than the beaten gold and silver buckles and pins of the olden days. Satin Is the fancy of the season. It Is named for the prima dannas, Melba arl Tctrazzlnno. IV-avy bullion embroidery combined with silk embroidery or satin cording makes a rich trimming. Among the fashionable trimmings Is lace with the pattern outlined with gold thread or colored silk. This Is a modish touch v woman can give her costume herself. Large fabric buttons are trimmed with embroidery, passementerie beads; sometimes a quilling of satin or narrow ribbon is put about them to enhance their value as an ornament Upon a dress of plum-colored r-ilk voile Is shown a plain plum-colored net sleeve as prim as a coat sleeve.

COSTUMES.

Smart Afternoon Gown. Here Is a charming gown of brown chiffon cloth constructed on the popular Dlrectoire liues. The cut of bodice Is especially smart and the use of real Irish lace In bertha effect adds a tone of decided elegance. Little underpuffs of sleeves are also of lace, and there Is a unique decoration of narrow brown velvet ribbon put oa the skirt In design. izontally placed with a silk-covered button in each loop. Serge Is to retain its restored popularity, and in plain, herringbone and chevron weaves will be much In evi dence among the new tailored costumes, as will the wide-wale diagonals, which gained a firm hold upon feminine fancy in the late spring season. There are many good neck trimmings, ' chief nmopg which will be found the tiny thick ruches of tulle, followed by narrow plaited ones of silk, heading silk stocks worn under fragile lace collars. Smart dressers are wearing quilled ones like the Watteau ruche, and on evening dress will be found a cleverly arranged ruche of small flowers mounted on tulle. The beauty of many of the new striped materials will protract the vogue of the stripe, but In suitings the vague, Indefinite plaid and clieck designs are newer and are receiving more favorable attention In Faris. Beautiful color combinations and designs are shown In these new plaids, the blending often being so subtle that at a short distance the material looks almost like a one-tone color. Charming evening wraps are made of plain white crepe de chine, cut on the circular style and finished round the neck with a white silk cord. If It Is necessary to line the cape, nothing could be better than a liberty satin In a light shade. The fad for the kimono and the mikado jackets seems to be going out, and these ornate wraps are replaced by simple capes of silk, satin and crepe. ürnslilns a Dreii, In brushing a garment that holds lint and dust place It upon the Ironing board and sweep it with the whisk broom, always in the direction of the weave, which should be from the band to the hem. Even this process will not always insure a perfect clean skirt, for the broom and brush scatter . dust particles, but you will meet with good results by going lightly over the goods with a dry sponge. This sponge will take up all pieces of lint It can be used to brush the collar and cuffs of a coat and is very convenient for dusting dandruff from a man's coat collar. Manner of Good Men. Goodness In Itself should be attractive, and yet we all know the good man whom we respect rather than love. Too often he Is lacking In the minor graces that make so strong an Impression upon the hearts of women. Conscious as he is of his own rectitude, he thinks it superfluous to acquire the charm of an easy manner or to perform habitually small acts of courtesy or politeness. To Remove Mildew. Should the clothes be mildewed, the stains may be removed by a mixture containing equal parts of soft soap and starch, half as much common salt and the Juice of half a lemon. This may be spread over the spots, and the article should be laid on the grass all day and all night, until the stain entirely disappears. Simple Dirt Tent for Milk. Milk contractors In the city of Boston are to a large extent co-operating with the health authorities In their efforts to Improve the milk supply. One firm employs a rotigh but effective test for determining the quantity of dirt. A filter of absorbent cotton is used. This Is held In position by a wire support. (lood Housekeeping. To Make Stocking Durable. When knitting stockings or socks it will be found that they will last twice as long if a strand of silk or thread be knitted Into the toes ami heels together with the wool. Smoke from Lamp Chimney. If lamp chimneys are so badly smoked that they are unsightly, clean them with vinegar and salt. This will remove spots of smoke and leave the glass bright. "Wnsliin Moldy Wnlla. If the pantry or the kitchen has moldy spots on tho plaster it will bo well to wash them thoroughly with a weak solution of chloride of lime.

The 4-year-old son of Erastus Wright, a merchant of Marlon, set fire to a barn whilo playing with matches and perished In the flames. Experts examining the county books at Bloomington report that threefourths of the officers for the last ten years are short in their accounts. Th total amount exceeds $12,000. Fred F. Rays, of Sullivan, attorney. Democratic politician and member of the Board of Trustees of the Southern Indiana Insane Asylum, and Miss Louise Reitz, a society leader of r.vansville, were married recently. Henry Piel, a farmer living near Cumberland, while on his way home with a load of wheat, was crushed to death when his team ran away, causing the wagon to be lodged against a pole.
