HENNO HOME BURNED. Mr. W. L. M. Mason Loses Handsome Neu Home .Monday Night? Clinton, S. ('.. April 0.?News was received here today that Mr. W. L. M. Mason of Renno, lost his handsome new homo last night by lire. It is supposed that the origin of the lire was incendiary. Mr. Mason was awak ened by the explosion of an oil can anil was just in time to arouse the other members of the family, all of Whom escaped unhurt. Mr. Mason was slightly injured in working to save tlie rest of the family. He is well known and very popular in Clin ton where he once held the office of Chief of police. This makes the third home of Mr. Mason's to be destroyed by lire. COURT HOUSE ACCEPTED. Architects Have Finished Inspection and Accepted the Building. Last night at seven o'clock the architects of the re-modeled Court House finished their inspection of the building and it was formerly accept ed of the contractors. Messrs Masli burn and Hounds. The representative of the firm of architects lias been here for the past two or three days going over (lie building and last night it was pronounced all o. k. The contrac tors were congratulated on the per fect manner in which the plans were carried out. Early Weapons. The earliest weapons of mankind? of the cutting, thrusting, hacking and stabbing variety?were undoubtedly suggested by the natural weaixms of the animals- -the tusks ?.f the boar, elephant and walrus, the sword of tho swordflsh and norwhal, the pointed antlers of the deer and the short horns of the steer. In fact, it Is well known that these weapons, taken directly from the fruits of tho chase, were act ually employed by men before they made for themselves any other weap on than the club. The sword is sim ply tho buffi.lo's long curved horn made into steel and flattened out. Just as tbf dirk Is deer's antlor made I out of the same material, and on to the end of the chapter. FINDS ALL KINDS OF LINEN Woman Astonished at Size and Vari ety of Wardrobe of That One Material. A woman who Is always smartly KOW&ed recently resolved to have frocks of nil the kinds of linen there are, for her winter sojourn at Nas sau, each frock to be trimmed with the lace or handwork of tho country from which the linen came. Until sbo began her unique collection she had no Idea of the great variety of linens to bo bought or how much Ingenuity it would take to carry out her Idea. Her list, with accompanying orna mentation, shows how largo and vnr Icd a wardrobe may be developed from one single kind of material. On sheer handkerchlof linen of Irish weaving baby Irish crochet was used In profusoln, and with a natu ral color butcher's linen of English make, brodcrlo Anglalso or eyelet em broidery appeared. With an oyster whito Flemish hand loom linen somo heavy Flanders laco In Van Dyke point was Inset, and on unbleached hand loom Holland linen was embroi dery In Delft blue linen throad. India mull from tho Orient Bhowcd exquisite hand embroidery, as did- the diaph anous linens of China and Japan and those from tho Philippines. Java and Madeira sent hand drawn work and embroidery combined. Mex ican work appeared on an elaborate morning dress of medium weight lin en, and on tho coat of a Russian crash walking costume were cuffs and a collar nf Russian lace. Bulgarian linen, brightly embroidered, was made up Into a smart little bridge dress, and a charming dinner dress for club wear was of Italian linen with Cluny j of great beauty and lavishly inset. There was also a frock with the wonders of Swiss band work on very line sheer linen, and another o? hand spun German linen, with inscrtings of old Mechlin In the bodico and much hemstitching In connection with em broidered dots. From Norway came a frock of medium weight linen with cutwork of intricate effect, and from Spain a very coarse open linen can vas Inset with lace crocheted by the peasants of the hills. Each dress is absolutely different from the others, and the planning has given many interesting hours to the woman who will wear them. Touch of Color. Tiny colored silk handkerchiefs with hemstitched borders are very smart worn in the vest pocket <>f one's tailored suits. Many of these pockets, by the way, r.re sot in lengthwise on a seam instead of crosswise between seams. Tan Colored Linens. Tan colored linens are used for the table these days. Such a statement may cause conventional housekeepers somewhat of a shock, iftit one can eas lly see what a saving it would be In Innnc'.ry bills. The Trimmer's Trick. I took the .rouble to watch a trim mer lill a basket with ordinary pota toes, writes "Tip" In tho New York Press. He took an enormous potato too big to sell to any wise buyer. He put this potato on end with crowns up In the basket and then ho built upon It a kind of trestlev.ork or bridge, piling on the fine sized, nice, round baking Im>>s on top. When tho customer buys, the potatoes are poured as quickly as a flash Into a l>lg bag and It Is only when the housewife gets home thai she llnd the giant elzed potato nearly filling the bag, and she wlsens up when sbo cuts up the big. fat boy for boiling. As a rule, the hl? ones have a great big hollow heart and Insldes as black as a man's hat. Nowadays they are sell ing tomatoes and other truck on baskets, not In them. They take a .nice big wad of paper and 111) up tho basket to the top and then pile In tho produce and put on the price. _ _ _ ^ ^mr- xr -^tr ^^^W^W Free! Free!!
