He learned that a woman was in correspondence with the former teller and he spent many days in Wilmington before he learned her address and then kept tabs on her for nearly a week before his vigil was rewarded. On Tuesday night as he was standing in an alley near the woman's house, he noticed her leave with a suit case in her hands. He followed her to the railroad station and then into a train. Confronting her with the information he had, he forced her to tell Lowery \s address in the city. That done, he took the woman back to Wilmington, leaving a guard to see that she should not be able to communicate with Lowery. Then he went to Philadelphia with another detective. They stationeu themselves near a house on North 1 6OU1 street, where the woman said Lowery was living, and were on guard about five hours, when the man they wanted came out. Stepping up to him, Kelleher told him he was under arrest. Lowery was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. LOST LIFE IX SURF. Heroic Effort* of Young Ladies Failed to Save Him.

Clear spruce balm, obtainable at any drug store, dissolved In alcohol, makes a good varnish for pictures. After writing a name on linen with indelible ink, to make it so washing will not run the color, press the writing with a warm iron. When this is done, tlie letters never blur.

In making a stencil pattern, instead of weighting the material with irons to keep it perfectly straight, get a handful of button drawing pins, or tailor's pins, and fasten tne material securely to a large board or upon the kitchen table. Put plenty of smooth papers beneath the material. Pin the pattern up on the goods, and you will have better success with the work. Plate powder that will not scratch the finest polish on silver is made ol whiting. Pour over the whiting enough water to dissolve it and add some ammonia.

To make a good floor filler put one pint of broken glue in an old tin bucket and cover with one gallon of boiling water.

It 1b a very easy matter to remo\?* Ink spotk from white material, but | many become discouraged because the first application of some reliable ink remover fai s to bring good results. The finest material, sucb na nioussellne, cambric and longclolb, hold stains much longer than a cheaper fabric, for which reason It is n?cessary to apply stronger solutions. Pure household ammonia will remove Ink from a handkerchief, (able cover or any white article which does not contain silk or a color. Put the ar tide In an earthen wash bowl, pour 'ammonia over the ink and leave >t for 15 or 20 minutes; take it out of the bowl, wring out the ammonia, wipe the bowl and renew the process; then wash with lukewarm water. Peroxide of hydrogen, applied alternately with ammonia and dried i? the sun, will remove very bad blemishes. I.emon iuice tan be applied to white silk, and should it be a silk with a blue mark, the lemon wi.l not injure the color, bht it would fade practically any other color than blue. A very thin while Paris muslin dress was splashed with the entire contents of an ink bottle, but the ov ur r immediately put the dress into a crock of sour buttermilk and let it soak over night. While the blemieh1 es were not entirely obliterated, and it was necessary to soak the dress in fresh buttermilk for several hours more, it finally came out pure and white and the entire dress bleached by ibe process. Tnk marks on velvet arpet can be removed with war;.i skimmed milk. Scrub the carpel the same as with water and. when* dry, wash tin1 spot with benzine to remove the greasy appearance. Salt will absorb ink from a table cover and prevent it from spreading, but it is not a reliable agent for the removal of bad stains. Pure cider vinegar. o:\Hlio acid, cream of tartar, a weak solution of muriatic acid or javelie. water can he depended upon to remove all black ink stairs. Ammonia will weaken red ink stains, which should afterwards he treated with borax and then washed in a boil uiwlc? AVlion t hPtu nmvprfiil ink #?r ndicators are used, it is absolutely necessary to thoroughly rinse the articles in several waters. Making Coffee. The secret of good coffee is an Immaculately clean coffee pot, fresh boiling water and good material. It is better to pay a little more for your coffee and use less in quantity than would he necessary in the cheaper grades. The coffee pot should be thoroughly washed gnd scalded after every meal and coffee never allowed to stand in it. If it gets discolored, put a little baking soda in it once a week or so, All with cold water and let it come to the boiling point. Take care that the spout and strainer are perfectly cleaned. Rinse and dry thoroughly. linlike most cooking utensils, which do better work when (heir newness has worn off, a coffee pot is better when new, whether made of tin, grauiteware. nickel or aluminum. Many good housekeepers advocate frequent renewals from the 10-cent store, discarding the old coffee pots as soon as they become die- ,, colored and strong. These are better In the end than the most expensive coffee percolator that is not kept immaculate. The time-honored rule for making coffee is a tablespoonful lor each nerson and one for the pot. I^it the coffee in (lie clean pot, pour in a few spoonfuls of cold water to wet it, add a clean, freshlv broken egg shell if vou have it, or a tenspoonful of the white of ess, pour on the boiling water and let it just come to the boil. Pake awav from the tire, give a second shake or stir lite grounds down, iheu replace and let it come again just to the boil. Do this three times in succession, then push back on the stove to settle and clear. Some persons prefer to make the coffee by the cold-water method. In this case cover the coffee with the required amount of cold water, allow it to reach the boiling point, then proceed as before. The coffee must not be allowed to noil hard, but merely reach the boiling point each time. If not perfectly clear when ready to serve pour in a tablespoonful of cold water. The Young Housekeeper. The ore reason why some young women do not learn to do their own cooking is because they consider *t beneath the dignity of a lady to do so. It is a verv foolish thought and. even if it were true, it would be VCTV uncomplimentary to real ladies who prefer the management of their own run nary upruiuuiin. wr kiiow tnai most woman of groat moans employ cooks, because their social position demands a groat, deal of 'heir time., but it is a well known fact that many women in the wealthiest famHW I make their own oakes, sauces, puddings and the fancy dishes which i grace the tables at their most elalv I orate buffet functions. There is noth- n ing degrading in the work; in fact, : it is a discredit to the woman who f says site can not prepare a meal. It , may never he necessary for a woman to do her o\\ n kitchen work, but it is ndvisab e that she should know I (he rudiments of the art, for if a * woman is left without a maid, the * j man of the house must heroine a I modern Robinson Crusoe In his own I home, and prepare his own men Is or I take the family to a ttsiauiaut.
