I had the misfortune to spill ink on the front of a handsome double-faced walking skirt. I sponged the spots immediately with cold water, then with sweet milk, changing the milk and the rag used in sponging as often as they became discolered, and kept this up until the rag showed no.further discoloration. As soon as the skirt was dry I sponged it thoroughly with gasoline, ana not. a vestige 01 uie iuk remained. Soak the worst soiled sponge in sweet milk and it will come out sweet and clean.

Japanese water-colors against background of matting are very pleasing, and if the knick-knacks on the shelf below are of oriental character the scheme is apt to be particularly successful.

Sea-Bntlilnjj at Iloino. There are few people who do not find the daily sea bath an agreeable tonic; yet there are multitudes who hesitate to continue such baths in their own homes after they have left the seashore. The truth is that daily bathing in any water is in itself refieshing and agreeable, so long as the individual is in health, and it is just the tonic that weak, nervous women need. The best time to bathe is usually early in the inornfng, and the best temperature for' the person in health is about TG^degrees, or the temperature of the room in which the bath is takem Such a morning dip should not be continued longer than from three to five minutes, and should be instantly followed by brisk rubbing with friction towels in order to put the skin in a glow. The best authorities seem to agree that all the advantages that come from a sea bath can be secured in from five to eight minutes. It is also desirable to keep up brisk exercise in sea bathing in order to gain the greatest Denent irom it. All these rules apply with double force to a bath at home, which lacks the tonic effect of salt water. A great many* persons always add a cup of rock salt dissolved in a little warm water to their daily bath. It tends to prevent a chill. A little perfumed alcohol is also used for the same reason. A bag of bran and orris root, soaked in the water, gives the bather the faint, fresh fragrance of violets, though it has no special hygenic value. "When one feels chilly after bathing it is'a sure indication that there has been no reaction of the skin, and that it is not safe to indulge in so cold a bath. Such peoples hould take baths at night at a tepid temperature. And if a morning bath is also desirable, it should be at least slightly warmed, of short duration and a brisk rubbing.

AGRICULTURE IN SIBERIA. American Farming Machinery Haa Aided in Increasing Production. Richard T. Crooner, United States commercial agent at Vladivostock. Siberia, has submitted a report on agriculture and farm machinery in Eastern Siberia, which in part is as follows: "Enoch Emory came to Siberia from Cape Cod forty years ago. He was the pioneer American merchant, and now has stores at Nikolacfsk, Habarofsk, Blagoveschensk, and Moscow. Gov. Grodekoff said that he had increased the working force of the Amur territory 20,000 men by the introduction of American labor-saving machinery. Most of the supplies under the head of emigrant stores are furnished to the local government by him. American agncuuurui xuacinues have enjoyed such an established reputation that it has long been a paying business to imitate them. The complaint now is that many cheap and inferior machines, mostly made in Germany from American models, are on tho market. Since the retaliatorytariff took effect, Feb. 7 (20). 1907, many American machines come via Germany, it is asserted all American marks being carefully obliterated. "At present there is no great demand for American machinery. The marked is well stocked, crops are bad. money is scarce, the government is closing down on credit, and the condition of the Siberian peasant farmer is deplorable. Efforts are being made to teach the peasant how to farm. In the United States the foreign immigrant learns by everyday example rather than by theory. The Siberian peasant is not used to severe and unremitting labor; he has few warts and many holidays. Lately some highly colored reports have reached us from America as to what Siberia was capable of doing in an agricultural way. It is suggested that American flour mills on the Pacific coast will soon be closed in consequence of the millions of acres here ready to be devoted to cereals. An uncertu*a climate, imperfect machinery, and unreliable labor are not factors for successful competition with the United States. "Notwithstanding the cneap transportation offered emigrants and the development of virgin soils, famine scorns a periodical visitor, and it is here today. The central governments are literally besieged with clamors for bread, for medicine, for work, grain, hay?anything. Tomsk, P^rm. Kerson, Yaronej. Khalkinsk, all join in this demand. It is safe to say that the United States need have no immediate fear of competition from this quarter, whether it be in grain or machinery. canned goods or cotton goods, production of gold, or building of ships.

CAPITAL TO BECOME THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY. j < Tho Attainment of the Ideal* of the ( Founder* at Last in Sij;ht ? 1'rojocts ^ for tho Development of Kverv 1'hnfte of tho Fedoral Capital's Equipment. j When a little less than a year ago ; the senate directed its district com- , mittco to consider the question of de- . vcloping the park system of the cap- j ital the hope was born in the breasts j of progressive Washingtonians who \ had labored for years for the attain- j mcnt of the ideals of the founders of j the Federal city that at last achieve- ] mcnt was within sight. As the scope of te work undertaken by the commit- , tee and the personnel of the commis- j sion of experts it created became known this hope was brightened into , a belief. , Now that the commission has finished its task and its report has been laid before the senate with the warm approval of the committee itself there j , is no longer reason to fear that the old hap-hazard, hit-or-miss methods of capital making will be followed. | These reports, though not yet adopted by congress, or, given form in legislation even in part, may be regarded | as the new foundation stones of the j Washington that is to become the world's most beautiful city. , Broad and comprehensive, respect- i fill cf the principles underlying the I original plans of thft founders yet dar | ins in the proposal of new projects in harmony with the old, regardful of only the single precept to make the most of Washington's opportunities for beauty and imprcssiveness, the plans contemplate a treatment of parks, buildings, driveways, memorials, water front and lakes which cannot be duplicated elsewhere in the world with the same splendid effect. They recognize the exceptional facilities for adornment afforded by the site of the capital flanked by two large streams and buttressed by noble hills. The marvel is that the progressive, patriotic men who have been coming to the halls of congress for the past century have not more clearly recognized the possibilities lying in the way of the capital-makers, have not turned their energies resolutely to the task of utilizing them to the full, have not rescured^iie grand original plan from its repressive, inharmonious setting which the negligence and indifferent "practicality" of generations has produced. Br-.t many great questions have demanded solution during the trying decades of national building and preservation and expansion, and the capital, regarded as the mere house accommodating the developing machinery of the government, has had to grow hap hazard, caring for itself in infancy and in youth and middle age. Now the Washington of ripe years is to be at last recognized by the nation. Its character as the centre cf national activity, the expression of national thought and ideals, is to be established. It must be grand and beautiful, else it will fall short of the American standards. Where now it j is tawdry and shows the signs of the | make-shift expediency of the past, it must be given artistic strength. Where neglect has permitted incongruities to crowd the very shadows of the great structures of governmental need, it must be made harmoniously true in every detail and in all places. The park commission has wisely conceived its mission one of more than mere landscape gardening. It has proposed projects for the development of every phase of the capital's equipment. The mall is to be cleared of its incumbrances and given new and beautiful features of artistic adornment. A great memorial to Lincoln is to stand at an axial point, commanding the approaches to the memorial bridge. Potomac Park and a great park driveway leading into the Rock Creek valley. This valley is to be reclaimed from its deplorable state, to become a beauty spot and a means of access to the two great parks above. Series of driveways wil permit continuous communication between a chain of large public reservations, jOnnsr s.->f>nes nf artistic landscape gar dening and passing handsome public structures. The miasmatic Anacostia is to become a water and land park, affording pleasure and recreation to the people where now it poisons them. Potomac park is to blossom into a place of beauty and public -enjoyment. The river front, now disgracefully shabby, wil become neat and attractive. The city will be girdled by drives and parks which cannot be elsewhere approached for extent or utility, or beauty, or accessibility. At the very doors of all the people will lie expanses cf space filled with trees and flowers and lawns to delight the eye and refresh the soul and body. On this great system of parks a comprehensive scheme of public buildings will be based, permitting practically endless extension and unlimited development as the government's needs increase. The capitol grounds are to be flanked only by public buildings, while around Lafayette square will arise a great series of beautiful structures, giving in themselves a dis. tinctivo character to Washington as a centre of American art and architecture. The great triangle between J Al ^11 Pennsylvania avenue ana me man will be eventually ocupied in part by buildings of national and municipal uses, surrounded by park approaches and giving a new character to the southern side of the capital's grandest street and great historic parade ground. Recreation grounds are to be provided near the water, where modern public bathing facilities will be afforded. Places are designated for structures of memorial art which posterity may plan as occasions arise, the general scheme to be harmonious and effective. Two chief points are to be borne in mind in appraising the work of the park commission. It was instrumental in securing an ideal solution of the railroad problem to give wasmngion a monumental union station in a place where it will blend with the other great public improvements, and it has established the principle of meantaining artistic as well as a practical relationship between the" architectural and the landscape features of the capital. The new plan, modernizing and supplementing the original project of L'Enfant. wil become the guide to all future improvements. By adopting this scheme now, leaving its components to be worked out in detail as necessities and opportunities arise, congress will demonstrate its foresight and its wisdom as well as i's intelligent pride in the national capital.- - I Washington Evening Star.

I _ THE TINT CF THE PEARL IIow the Venetians I'ut It I"i ?n the C>l:<ss Heads They Milks. "You would hardly think," shid a Jealer in fancy goods as he held up a string of glass beads, each as big as a cherry, made in imitation pearls, says ;he New York Times, "that to put the pearl tint and luster on each one of :hese little globes the lives of at least 15 beautiful fish had to bo sacrificed, ivould you? But such is the fact, and although the beads are made in Ven ice and this string of them represents x catch of at least 500 of these fish and :he exhaustion of a good many cubic feet of glass blowers' breath, I can sell it to you for 25 cents and make a fair profit. "Thev have been turning out beads such as these in Venice for nearly two centuries and a half. In the Adriatic lives a fish called the bleak, but why they named it bleak I can't see, for there is certainly nothing bleak about its appearance. "It is a graceful fish, probably of the carp family, and has a glistening armor of silver scales. The fish are more prolific than the herring, which has been a good thing for them. One day in 1656 an observant citizen "f Venice, with a turn for investigating things, his name Salvador Jacquin. placed a number of bleak in an acquariurn that he might take note of their habits. Alter they had been in the acquarium some tune nc saw that the water took on a pearly hue."Believing that this was communicated by washings from the scales of the fish, the Venetian observer experimented. He found that water could be so densely charged with the tint from the fish scales that glass, when dipped into it and allowed to dry, had all the outward hues of a pearl, lie coated glass beads with the substance, and the counterfeits were readily accepted as genuine pearls. "The coating of these beads, it was found, though, had but slight resistance to friction and soon disappeared " " J' - ? 1 ? A r* from the suriace 01 me ueuas. -nosured that a large and profitable demand for them would result if he could fix the pearly lustre on the beads so it would defy friction, Jacquin conceived the idea of having the globes blown hollow and then attaching the fish scale solution to the inner surface. This was a success from the start, and the glass pearl business got its first boom. "It requires the scales of 4000 bleak to make half a pint of the liquid pearl. The fish are more easily caught than our menhaden. The scales are removed and soaked in tepid water. "The utility of the liquid was improved some years ago by the addition of a small quantity of sal ammoniac and isingless to it. These gave it a closer and firmer set to the glass and increased the lustre. The liquid is introduced inside the hollow glass bead by means of a small tube, and when it is dry a coating of transparent wax is run over it. "Fortunately for the race of bleaks, j the trade in these beads, pretty and cheap as they are, is not so alarmingly large that extinction of the* yielders of the pearl tint is imminent. There are apparently just as many bleak in the * ~" ?< . + Viorn woro two OPT1 AlirielUU IIUYY do ^ v..? turies and a half ago, and more than likely there will be just as many two centuries hence as now." A First Visit to St. Peter's. It is curious to wat\:h the faces of people as they enter the great doors of St. Peter's at Rome and push back the heavy leathern curtains that keep out the noise and the air, and find themselves in the presence of the most impressive spectacle on earth, as Byron said: Majesty, Power, G'ory, strength and beauty? all are aisled In this eternal ark of worsnip.

An architect and a gang of workmen are always employed.?Rome letter in Chicago Record-Herald. Overeating and Morality. At a recent purity congress held In Chicago a vegetarian delegate read a curious paper on diet. He stated tnac much of the immorality in the world was due to the eating of animal food. "The cook," he said, "often leads to more drunkenness and excess than the saloon keeper. Highly seasoned, rich animal foods lead to indigestion and ill health. Ill health weakens the will, and a weak will breaks down the moral character. Total eepraviiy is nothin? but total indigestion." V/IWV'I* Q _ This reasoning reminds one of the old conundrum, "Why is home like a bahy?" the answer being, "Because borne is where the heart is; the heart is in the chest; a chest is a box, box is a small shrub, a smart snrub is a growing plant, a growing plant Is a beautiful thing, a beauiirm thing is a primrose, a primrose iv, u pronounced 'yeller,' and a pronounced 'yeller' is a baby."

Consul General Long reports from Cairo, In reply to an Inquiry from the department relative to the extent of the Suez canal is used by sailing vessels, that Comte Charles de Serionne, superior agent in Egypt of the Suez Canal Company, has given him the following information: "No sailing vessels have crossed the canal since 1874 or 1875, except during the time of the Turko-Russian war of 1877-78. At that time sailing vessels arrived from Calcutta with Indian troops; but for the Tast ten years no sea-going sailing vessel has crossed the canal. Sometimes trains of coal and materials, treated by the Suez Canal Company as sailing vessels, with the object of collecting the towing duties, have crossed the canal, but no sailing vessel engaged in high-sea navigation has crossed it within *the period named. "The absence of sailing vessels in the canal is explained by the difficul ties of navigation in the Red Sea. The extraordinary number of sailing vessels lost in the Reu Sea, (which is full of dangerous reefs and shoals) during the years 1872-73 seems to have effectually discouraged further attempts. The officials of the Suez Canal Company believe that the construction of the canal, which was opened to navigation in 1869, has been an impetus to steam navigation throughout the world."?New York Times. ? fT Health will come with a tion of right-living', with al the games which refresh an also advantageous to have 1 tary conditions.
