As It now is house cleaning time I will tell the housekeepers how I hem and repair carpets. I baste the hems, then Etltt-h them on tbe machine. It to much quicker and easier, and bolds It better than hand work. Sometimes when my rag carpets get worn badly ts places where the most wear comes I rip the breadths apart and cut out the worn part. But before I cut It I take H to the machine nn<l stitch acroea on one thread of tbe ifllng. If I want to save both pieces I stitch across again on tbe next thread of the filling and then cut between the two rows of Witching. I then prepare another piece in the aame way. lap the edges together a quarter of an inch, baste quite closely. and stitch on both edges This leaves a flat seam, which Is not felt Jn walking over It, and If the stripes are matched one will have to look very j closely to see where It has jieen^ut to- | gether. I had to cut two of my carpeU i for registers; so 1 laid the carpets down over the registers and marked oat the [ place aa near as I could, allowing * little for stretching. 1* then stitched twice around where I bad marked, and j cut out the place. It was all right, and I did not need any binding.—Mrs. C. B- | Wood. 1c Tribune Farmer. Dampness for Woolens. When woolen cloth Is to be pressed but not washed. It Is sometimes the question of how best to give It the dampness that will enable the hot Iron to remove folds and wrinkles. Good results are to be had by wringing a sheet out of warm water, spreading It on a large table, arranging upon it the places to be pressec and then foldling or rolling all In a bundle, says tbe Chicago News After lying thus for several hours, the cloth is evenly damp, but not wet. and all cresses ana folds soften to the best possible condition for the Ironing. Tbe pressing rather than the Ironing must be done slowly with Irons not too hot nor too cold, moving them Just fist enough to prevent one from printing Its outline on the goods. Hot enough to raise the steam, but not hot enough to scorch the wool Is right for tbe irons. Ladles' cloth treated thus loses every creese and the too dinging softness lent it by wear. Thinner goods are bandied the same way with

success.

The process, of coarse. Is that followed by all tailors and called "sponging." except that no pressing follows the dampening of new doth. It being merely spread smooth and left to dr' —Mirror-Fanner.

Tax Skill of Hunter

Haunting the depths of the woodlands in the vicinity of the springs In the higher mountains, there ure many of the famous family of Virginia deer, the white tall—the most hunted, tbe most plentiful, and yet seldom brought Into camp. I.ucky the sportsi who has been able lo bring down three of these fine deer In all his hunting experience. Go into the nearby mountains, and in the canon bottoms, you will see countless tracks of bis majesty tbe Virginia deer, the “white tall" of eaststates. and called just deer in eoutfiern California But to see these tracks does not by any means assure the hunter s shot nt oae of these magnificent animals, for not onlF 1* the white tall the largest dt the true deer of’North America, but he also hu a reputation as tbe best blder of all game animals. By nature fond of thick cover, he usually spends most of the time In the depths of some well-wooded canon—a bushy river bottom full of briers and undergrowth is an Ideal spot to look for him. and an Ideal spot to miss a running shot as walk And that Is about all the chance you will get at the white tall too, unleu you can stalk him—an almost Impossible feat, by the way. One ot these deer will lie securely hidden until the hunter, wgtchlng the middle distance Instead of his feet, almost fails over him. Then he will get up with a "who-uf”

and a tearing of underbrush and by the time you get your gun ,10 your face the deer will be somewhere over in tbe next county. They do not range high on tbs mountain, and most hunters will teO you that the best deer hunting Is after the first heavy snow In the fall, when the deer come down Into the higher foothills to get tbe new grasses brought out by the rains that usually accompany these early snows. With the black tail, tbe least com mon deer of this section, everything Is different. Look for him In the open meadows of the mountains, where the pines wail in little valleys all clothed in tall grasses. There the smaller and darker deer moves on velvet hoofs noiselessly, and, seeing yew. vanishes silently or with a low snort, seeking rather to escape by stealth than by speed. On the level and •“ the open the black tall is t swift enough runner to try the aim of say rifleman, but In the piney woods be can be almost u silent as a mountain Hon. Tbe best way to hunt this deer Is to take him at hia own game and stalk him. Armed with a light rifle, for stalking a black tail is an all-day jcb of hard walking, the hunter slips from tree to tree through the deer country, watching every dump of brush, seeing every leaf that mores, prepared nt all times to swing, the rills on a shadowy, halt-seen form slipping away through the dim recesses of the woods.
