They labor under the delusion that a madeâ€"over garment is not “worth” all the care that can be put upon it. The successful woman goes at it dif- ferently. She realizes that what she cannot spend in money must be made up by painstaking ingenuity. In the first place she carefully rips the garment seam from seam. no two pieces being permitted to remain together. Then she picks out everystitch and knot of thread and scrapes off the lint and dust before giving each piece a thorough shaking, brushing, sponging and press- ing. Perhaps the garment is faded 1n streaks and must go to the dyerâ€"an. operation that is at least one-third cheaper than buyin new cloth. Per- haps it is only soile and a bath in soap bark will make it good as new. For an ordinary garment ten cents worth of soap bark, obtained at the druggist's, will be sufficient. Put the bark to soak in a clean crock or china dish that has not held anything greasy â€"grease invariably soaks into the por- ous stone or earthen ware. Cover the bark with warm soft water and let. it stand over night. In the mornin strain it'through a. cloth, pour half 0 it in a foot-tub, add clear water and leave the goods to become thoroughly saturated. If the water is very dirty use another course of soap bark water and afterward rinse thoroughly in clear tepid water. Rub well, but do not wring out the goods with the hands; hang each piece separately on the line to drip, and before it has time to .really dry, press on the wrong side wrth an iron that is only warm enough to take out the wrinkles. . Plush. velvet and woolen goods With raised surfaces, may have the wrinkles steamed out by tipping back a hot iron, laying upon it a wet cloth, and with its back to the cloth, the velvet. The steam forcing its way through the nap of the velvet freshens itâ€"provrd- ed it is already‘ thoroughly brushed and freed from dust. This renovating process is of course very tedious, but without iit perfect satisfaction is impossible, and no amount of time spent in trimming a garment will make up for a lack of freshness. The most important point after the garment is cut, is the basting. The reason why a basque wrinkles or a skirt hangs badly, is because the basting has not been carefully done. A gar- ment should be basted on a. perfectly flat, even surface, such as a light, thin smooth board held in the lap, and the lining held loosely on the material at the waist, so that the outside will stretch and avoid the little pin wrinkles that are so annoying. All seams should be pressed open, no matter where they are. - - The next important feature of the waist is its boning. An old basque newly boned will have its youth renew- ed. To properly bone a garment is first a knowledge and then a knackâ€"the cas- ing must be firm enough to admit of much stretchin . and the bones of a quality that wil hand without breaking. One frequently hears the remark that a dress looks like a picture in the picture, but not when it is made up. It depends entirely upon how it is made up. \“ \Vhile this translation is more criti- cally exact than any that has preceded it. and has the commendation of schol- are, it has not supplanted and probably will not supplant the authorized ver- sion, which has been for three centuries the pride and admiration of the English world. It is the glory of English lit- erature. and in its pages has been found the consolation and the hope of ten generations of mankind. The issue of the revised version has been enormous. but it has had no appreciable effect on the circulation of the authorized ver- sion, which is greater now than ever before. Undoubtedly the old version contains many errors and wrong tragâ€" slations, but it is so firmly fixed inthe hearts and consciences of the people that it can never be taken from them. Its language is imbedded in our com- mon speech and is a part of the vernac- ular we learn from our mothers. Never-V theless the new version is one to be read and studied by all who would be familiar with the greatest literature known to men. In view of the critical relations of Great Britain and Venezuela, it becomes interesting to note what naval force Vice-Admiral James Elphinstone Ers- kine, commanding the North American and \Vest Indies station has in or near Caribbean waters. At Barbadoes is the Canada, of 2,380 tons, 2,000 horse power, and ten guns. Among the oth- er Gulf islands are the Tourmaline, 2,120 tons, 1,800 horse power, and twelve guns; the Mohawk and Tartar, sister ships, each of 1,770 tons, 3,500 horse power, and six guns; the Partâ€" ridge, of 755 tons. 1,200 horse power, and six guns. Larger than any of these, and with powerful engines, is the Ma- gicienne, of 2,950 tons, 9,000 horse power, and six guns, which is at Bermuda, where also is the Buzzard, of 1,140 tons, 2,000 horse power, and eight guns. The finest of all the vessels, the Crescent. of 7,700 tons, 10,000 horse power, and thirteen guns, the Admiral's flagship. has left Halifax for Bermuda. Soon, also, the Pelican, of 1,130 tons, 1,060 horse power. and eight guns, will proâ€" ceed south. These nine vessels, then, will be available. and a tenth is likely to come as a relief to the Cleopatra, of 2,380 tons, 2.000 horse power, and twelve guns, which has gone to Eng- land. unless. indeed, she herself returns. Venezuela has no navy. of oonse.L quencc, most of her few vessels, we believe, being sailing craft, carrying small companies of coast guards or mar- ines. Of her ports that might possibly be seized, the most prominent are Lu Guayra, Porto Cabello. Maracaibo, and Ciudad-Bolivar. This last has the ad- vantage for England of being near the disputed boundary; but it is on the Orinoco. and might on that account re- ceive more protection by obstructions in the stream, besides having some do- fences. Porto Cabello, which is of more commercial importance, has some works. and is also protected by a bar which. it would appear. the heavier Brit- ish vessels could not cross. La Guayra is the place that would perhaps be most likely to receive an attack, although somewhat fortified. since it is the port of Caracas, the capital, and in addition a large proportion of the customs duties are received there. Correct Serving. The first essentials of a capable wait- ing maid are that she should be neat. quick and quiet. Neatness is an attri- bute indispensable in the dining-room above all other places. Plain, neat. clothing should be worn. The hair should be arranged as plainly as pos- sible. A maid should always be capped and aproned, and her shoes should be such as to render her walking as near noiseless as possible. A waiting maid should not make her appearance in the dining-room until afterthe guests are seated and she should be familiar with the following rules: In setting the table the tines of the fork should be turned up and the sharp edge of the knife blade toward the plate, placing the fork next the plate Always place tumblers to the right and fil only three-quarters full. Place the cup containing coffee at the right side of each rson; offer sugar and cream at the eft. . Any dish from which a person hel s himself must be offered at the le t. Those from which the maid serves nust be placed at the right. Everything relating to one course must be removed before serving an- other course. Always go to the right of each per- son to remove the dishes. The waiting maid must be respon- sible for the proper heatingof dishes before they are brought to the table. Except in case of accident which she cannot remedy], a maid should never speak to the ostess. who should be looked upon as a guest at her own table for the time being, and treated accord- ingly. A maid who is watchful will never permit one nest to help another in the passmg of cod. Avoid all appearance of haste, though one must move quickly in order to. ac- complish all there is to be done._ How to Estimate Trolley Car Speed. There is in the public mind a con- fusion of ideas as to the speed of elec- tric street cars. Two inexpert observ- ers guessing at this speed will rarely come within miles of the correct esti- mate. Yet it is possible for anybody, by a simple calculation, to arrive at very nearly accurate information. An electric car going at the rate of a mile an hour travels 88 feet in a minute. At two miles an hour it makes twice that istance in a minute, or 176 feet. At hree miles an hour the distance tra- velled inn minute is three times 88. or 264 feet. This distance of 261 feet is about the length of an average city block. if it takes a car a minute to go a block the rate of speed is three miles an hour. 1f the car goes two blocks in a minute the rate is about six miles an hour. Three blocks in a minute means nine miles an hour. Four blocks in a minute indicates a d of about twelve miles an 'hour. ' t five blocks in a minute a car is go- fifieen miles an hour. _\Vhen six locks are traversed m a minute the d is ei hteen miles an hour. A rate 0 seven b oaks in a minute 13 a speed of twentymne miles an hour. It must be understood that average blocks are required to make good such estimates. - ..._. .P. H . h wt“--.â€"_.

Apple Enlistâ€"Making this is well understood by most farmers' Wives, but people who live in cities, and depend on the market and the family grocer to furnish them all such articles ready pre- pared, do not know how vastly more economical and purer it is to makeit themselves. Take good apples, all one kind so they will cook evenly, pare_ and quarter them, then put. into botling cider, about two gallons of applesito one of cider. boil it first and then_sun~ mer slowly, stirring constantly, till it is reduced to a thick, smooth pulp, when it can be put away in jars for Winter use.

Professor Joly, of Paris, says that in France crime is.increasing, while the population is decreasing. In 1860 the youthful offenders numbered 16,000; in 1890 they numbered 31,000.. So much fruit has been raised in Cali- fornia; this season that the local markets have been glutted, and in San Francisco tons of melons, pears and plums have been thrown into the sea.

In attempting to account for this, it has been suggested that a full barn is warmer than an empty1 one, and that the heated and somewhat moist air rising from the straw or hay is more conducive than cooler air and “attracts” lightning. ‘ j The only man in the world,'pe'rhaps, that ever drove a horse wearing shoes made from metal which but a few Weeks before had been-in space. is Frank Mar-‘- ris of \Vorthington, \V.

It is. however.§ none the less start-ling to be confronted I with apparatus which lays hold on you in whatsoever manner you desire,: strokes you gently, pats you, shakcsl you, twists you, in fine, manipulates! you as you please, and that so gently' and so daintin that your nerves give no hint of rebellion. To be sure. thel appliances have the air of relics from] the tortures of the Inquisition, but that is only another evidence of the deceit- ful characteristics of appearances. These apparatus are the invention of Dr. G. Zander, of Stockholm, who has spent the.- bulk of his life in perfecting his system of mechanico-therapeutic contrivances for the treatment of dis- ease and for the general development of the physique. To a great extent and in the more novel forms the in- struments are designed to afford me- chanical substitutes for massageâ€"man- ipulation by human attendants. Within the last twenty years mas.- sage has come to be recognized as of marvelous worth in the treatment of the human body for its restoration or for its development. That it has been made the means of abuses does not detract from its value where JUDICIOUSLY EMPLOYED. It may be said that massage in sim- ple form‘ has been practiced by all men of all times, as, for illustration, in rub- bing and friction, but its scope has been so much enlarged and its import- ance so much esteemed of late that it is practically the invention of the . en- eration. For its proper servwe 1 is essential that the o erators should'posâ€" sees a variety of a ilities, which", _:un- fortunately, are not commonly united in one perSon. Dr. Zander has sought to unite the desired qualities artif1c1a1â€"' ly in mechanical appliances and he has succeeded marvelously. The inventor by his medical training was conversant with all the peculiarities of the human anatomy, a knowledge which he made the guide in the construction of his apparatus. The ordinary masseur knows little or nothing about joints, sinews, and organs, and as a result his services lose their value in great part. The instruments are so carcfuli ' conâ€" sidered and skillfully adjuste that their work is beyond criticism. The most‘curious of the instruments are those for the passive movements. These are designated for those invallds unable to endure the exertion of ac- tive movements, and they are designed also for those others who are so lazy that they will not endure the work of ordinary physical gymnastics. One of these machines is the saddle horse. It is a luxurious bit from a merry-go- round in form, and is made for either man or woman. The patient mounts it, a. lever is moved. and the patient is on his travels. He does not travel forward, but up, then down, and that is all. The exact movemcntpf a trot- ting gait is reproduced, and it may be regulated to the slightest staccato movement or the wild rise and fall of a bucking bronco. Another instrument is-for trunk ro- tation. The patient sits on a comâ€" lfortable and innocent seeming chair, the lever is moved, and the decorous patient becomes in the twinkling of an eye the rival of any .ORIENTAL NAUTCH GIRL. . The seat wobbles and sways, undulat- ing, gyrating until any desired amount of external and internal agitation is produced. By other contrivancc’s one can have rubbings of the feet, the hands, or, in- deed, any part of the body, and that, with a. gentleness and regularity that 5 are most gratifying. Of all this sorti {the most popular is one in the form of] a. huge cushioned chair, which has_ a long opening in the back. The sybarlte l lies in this, and of a sudden the chair begins a slow and languorous moveâ€" ment back and forth, while at the same time twcr covered wheels rise through the open back and stroke his back soft» 1y yet firmly with delightful assiduity that soon induces sleep. Another instrument has lootped rub- ber hammers that beat a swi t, tattoo on any part of the body, that stimulates the sluggish blood.
