Washing Wooleris.
The secret of washing" well any wool-
len goods lies chiefly in having the (life
ferent waters of equal temperature
with none of them at any time too hot
to’put the hand in comfortably. Soap
should not be rubbed on the article, but
used in the form of thin suds. It should
'be a. good, white soap, too.‘ A little
' harm: is probably the best thing to
soften the water. For washing blankets
or baby flannels it into be preferred.
Woollen should not'be wrung by the
hand, but rinsed or dried by squeezing;
Woollens of any sort should never be
allowed to freeze. .

CURRENT COMMENT.
This country now rejoices in the
finest crop of tall, graceful flag poles .
it has ever raised. As viewed from
Mars. the United States must look like
a vast asparagus bed. ‘
We'wlll be able to raise a superior
quality of hemp in the Philippines and
the most succulent ban-anus in Porto
,Rico. There is compensation in every-
thing. The hemp can be used for the
people who throw banana skins on
our sidewalks.
A late army idea is to make of
aluminum all the metal a soldier car-
ries except his rifle. Even buttons and
shoe pegs are to be of aluminum.
Some of the Pennsylvania artillery
companies are pfovided with alumi-
num pails holding three gallons, in
which all the water used is sterilized
by boiling over the camp fire. '
A Cuban flag has been saluted at the
masthead of an American warship. An
old-time prophecy reads thus: “A little
one shall become a thousand, and a
small one a strong nation; I the Lord
will hasten it in his time.” That little
flag of Cuba has climbed slowly to the
masthead, and as it waves it tells a
story of years of striving and suffer:
ing and death, a grand struggle
against ‘tyranny; before the strong
arm of the liberator came to aid.
A'situation like the present one is
sure to develop an army of cranks.
but who would have predicted one to
condemn the prevalence of Old :Glory?
He has a small but excfied following
who cry out that the general display
of the colors is vulgarizing them.
Heaven send their distorted wits a new
twist! Float the flag from office and
home, drape it in window and on wall,
wear it in the lapel, in the hat, as a
scarf, if you like; keep it before your
own and your neighbors’ eyes every-
where, always! Old Glory is one good
thing of which there cannot be too
much!
The most popular officer holding the
gommission of the United States Gov-
ernment is the paymastcr. In the
eyes of the troops at the front he is
'only a little lower than the angels.
When he arrives in camp he is re-
ceived with something like the enthus-
iasm that surprised the Prodigal Son.
The best that there is in the way of
tent, things to eat and things to drink
are at- his disposal. The colonel
smiles, and the majors smile, and the
captains smile, and the smile progress-
es on down to the smallest drummer
boy. Everybody spruces up, puts on
his best available clothes and does his
best to do credit to the regiment} You
would think that the business-like
man in a major’s uniform was Miss
Columbia, the President and the gen?
eral commanding rolled into one. And
then the paymaster reclprocates. He
loses no time in getting through the
books. He has been known to toil
half the night so that the boys might
not have to wait for their money any
longer than was absolutely necessary.
As a rule, there is a day’s work in the
regimental rolls. But the paymaster
doesn’t spare himself or his assist-
ants. He looks as satisfied when his
task is done as if he were about to go
out with the boys whom he has made
so happy. But he doesn’t, for he has
to fly away to fresh scenes of activity.
The buying and selling of war ships
has become a great industry, says a
writer in the Pall Mall Gazette. Sev-
eral thousand working men on the
Thames and in the North are earning,
good wages to-day by constructing war
vessels that may be used against
Great Britain in a year to two, while
'at Birmingham and Elswick guns am:
being made with which to arm them,
and at Sheffield armor plate with
which to clothe them is being rolled
out. Private firms in Great Britain
are now building war ships for Ger-
many, Austria, .Tapan, China, Chili,
Norway, Portugal and Brazil. Ger
many’s order is for a torpedo boat dc
stroyer of great speed and powerful
armament, and Austin. has contracted
for‘four torpedo boats. Japan is ntil
izing part of the indemnity paid by
China in the purchase of eight battle
ships and cruisers and eight torpedo
boat destroyers.
It is estimated that since British
shipyards began work of this cnarae
for foreign money equal to thirty 0t
' thirtyfive millions "sterling has been
.spent in Great Britain forwar ships
.and the- guns, stores‘and equipment.
- Ithas been suggested that Parlia-
'ment should give the British G0vern
ment the rightof' the first offer of ev-
,. cry ship building in Great Britain fox

sired or was willing toysell. .But for .
every ship so:.bought the keel, would

Would be only temporary at best. .

Buttons Extensively Used.
It is officially announced-that buttons ,
"will be extensively used wherever pos-
sible, and that they will, as a. rule, be of
considerable size—not always round,
but oval, square, and oblong also.
Cameo effects, it is said, will reappear,
'some of these buttons surrounded by a.
circle of Rhinestones or very fine-cut
French brilliants. Buttons with buckles
to match of real gold and real silver
will be used. Many years ago the craze
for cheap buttons reached an extrava-
gant height, from three to five dozen
sometimes trimming 'a single gown,
and tons of metal buttons were manu-
factured to 'supply the demand. Nowa-
days, if buttons are worn as ornaments,
they must be artistic and valuable. The
cheap, showy kinds have departed to
the limbo to which wax flowers, wool
mats, shell ornaments, and crochet an-
timacassars are banished.

THE MODERN MOTHER
Has found that her little ones are im
proved more by the pleasant Syrup of
Figs, when in need of the luxative ef-
fect of a gentle remedy, than by any
other. Children enjoy it and it benefits
them. The true remedy, Syrup of Figs
is manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.
Hooked Down the Back.
, Chief among the novelties from over
the sea brought out by high-class mo-
distes in this country is the bodice or
prinCesse polonaise which hooks, but-
tons, or laces down the center of the
back. This style is certainly advan-
tageous to a graceful figure. Yet there
isone great difficulty to overcome. How
is the woman who has no maid or a,
convenient friend handy to fasten her.
gown? Fashion rarely troubles herself
about such details, so her devotees have
to solve some of her sartorial problems
as best they can. In fastening these
waists and princesse dresses, the most
charming and costly buttons will be
utilized by the modiste. Graduated
trimmings and V-shaped insertions on
each side of the row of buttons are em-
ployed, which serve to break the
breadth of the shoulders.

Yokes and Guilnpes.
Ladies‘ cloth, very light in weight
and of exquisite velvet-like surface, in
ivory or cream-white, geranium or mil-
itary red, pale dahlia, or old rose, or-
ange, and fawn color, is much used for
guimpes or yokes on tailor costumes of
broadcloth, and when a lighter fabric
is preferred, tucked corded silk or crys-
tal béngaline in similar. colors is used.
So'me,of the cloth yokes are left plain;
others are overlaid with an entire sec-
ond yoke of open-work silk applique,
passementerie, or braiding. On evening
toilets, nets, soft Liberty satins, India
silks, chiffon, and crepe de Chine are
va'riously_used for yokes or guimpes,
and many times the sash or folded
girdle and little sleeve puffs are formed
of corresponding material.

Royal Blue Line’s Five Hour Trains.
To Washington in 5 hours from New
York is the time made by the Royal

man Palace Car company, and are con-
ceded to’be the finest specimen of car
construction of the present age. The
“Limited" is made up entirely of par-
lor and dining cars. In addition to
