RIPPING GARMENTS TO PIECES.
In Doing This There Should Be No Pull
ing or Tearing.
There is a general impression that it
is an easy enough matter to rip up a
garment. Most anybody can do it, and
it is an undertaking that requires no
special skill or care. Acting on this
idea, clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, snipped with scissors and final
ly taken to pieces after this unprofit
able fashion, and the operator comes
and declares that everything is ready.
A dyer who handles a large quantity of
black goods says that he long ago gave
up expecting anybody to rip a garment
up as it should be done. If the seams
are ripped, they are full of threads;
sometimes there are buttons on; hooks
and eyes are not uncommon ; the fronts
of them are stuck full of pins of various
sorts, and linings, facings, braids and
the like remain, in whole or in pieces,
just as the individual who had charge
of the disintegrating process happens
to leave them.
To rip up a garment properly thera
should be no pulling, tearing or drag
ging apart. If one cannot take the end
of the thread and pull it out, the
stitches should be cut with a sharp
knife. Very few persons can rip a gar
ment with scissors without doing it
great harm; indeed, many find it im
possible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render the
goods absolutely worthless for the one
who originally wore it. When it is done
the edges are so ragged that a much
smaller pattern must be used. In pre
paring goods for the dyer, or to be
made over, every stitch should be token
out. It seems scarcely necessary to say
that facings, braid and hooks and eyes
must be removed, but this is impera
tive, in view of the condition in which
garments come to the dressmaker and
the dyer. Many dresses, capes and
jackets are perfectly wearable after
being carefully ripped, brushed,
sponged and pressed. It Is a wonder
that some one does not set up an estab
lishment for ripping clothes and put
ting them in order for the dressmaker.
The owner of them frequently has not
time to do them properly, or is too
careless and understands too little the
requirements of them to do it hod she
all the time in the world. Some semi
invalid in every community might get
a tolerable living, or at least add to a
limited income by preparing garment
for remodeling. X. Y. Ledger.
Petroleum In ltusnla.
A peculiar fact in respect to petro
leum ia the difference nf rnmlit inn ,,.
der which that oil occurs in Kussinnnd
America. In the former it is found in
strata of the tertiary period, usually a
formation resembling a quicksand, and
at depths of only n few hundred feet.
In our own country it occurs at great
depths In the older compact sandstones
and limestones. American oil yields a
cry large proportion, any almut 70 per
cent., of ilhiuiinnting oil exactly nuited
for combustion in our ordi
the Russian oil produces far less of
such oil and a larger proportion of
high-class lubricating oil. The Jitm
alan illuminat ing oil nlo requires to lie
burned In n modified form of lump wit h
a more ncrfeel draught. in order ti. mr.
come its tendency to produce a smoky
inline, anu n i largely this fact which
has prevented the consumption of Ituu
sirtn oil for light abroad.

GHOST OBJECTED.
Wouldn't Keep Quiet Until the House
Was Moved.
It is told in the Washington Star that
a correspondent had occasion to stop
all night in a West Virginia cabin,
where he had been entertained a year
before. The cabin at his first visit had
faced the road; it now occupied a posi
tion at a considerable distance from
the highway and faced the other di
rection. When asked about the change
the owner of the cabin said:
"Had ter make it. Dad made sech a
fuss 'bout it, my wife 'lowed we'd hev
ter move back. Yo' see, she never
knowed the ole man in his lifetime,
an' she didn' like bein' pestered by him
20 y'ar after he wor dead."
"How was that?" inquired the cor
respondent. "Waal, the house uster be hyar, 'fore
thar war any road, an when dad died
we buried 'im over yonder by them
oaks. The road war cut through, an'
we moved the house over dad's grave.
He never had cut up none, though he
war a great cavorter when he lived,
but when we moved the house he uster
come every night to our bed an' try
to sw'ar at me only he couldn't talk.
It kin' o' tickled me to see the ole man
when he couldn't swar, but my wife
kicked erbout it an' I moved the cabin
back ag'in. The ole man hain't come
back sence, an'' I'll reckon he'll hev
his way; he alius did 'fore he died, an'
ho hain't los' none of his uppishness
sence."
ONE WELL-MORTGAGE8 COW.
A Tale Illustrating the Guileless Sim
plicity of an Agriculturist.
"There are tricks in all trades but
ours," remarked the carpenter, "and we
sometimes drive screws with a ham
mer."" A few days ago, not more than
1,000 miles from Lake county, says the
Vermillion (N. D.) Freeman, a collector
called on a farmer for the payment of a
note secured by chattel mortgage. The
farmer was obdurate and gave no satis
faction that he would ever pay the note.
Finally the collector said: "Well, I'll
have to take the 11 cows named in the
mortgage." "Oh, no; you haven't got
a mortgage on 11 cows on this farm."
"Why, yes, I have." And the collector
pulled out a copy of the mortgage and
read as follows: "One red and white
cow, one cow spotted red and white, one
red cow with white spots, one cow with
white spot in forehead, one red cow
with two white hind feet, one white cow
with red spots on side, one white and
red cow, one red cow with two. white
fore feet, one white cow with red spot
on ahoulders, one red cow with white
spot on hips, one white cow spotted
with red. Now, how do you like that?
continued the collector. "Oh, that's
nil light; I see you've got 11 mortgages
on my old red and white cow; there she
is down in the pasture; theboyswillgo
down and help you catch her."
A MEXICAN CEMETERY.
Where Ontrra Are Kented at the Rata of
One Dollar Per Month.
A correiqiondent deserilies the queer
ceuu'tery of the Mexican village of
Guanajuato. There is hardly room in
(iuunajunto for tlie living, bo it be
lioovea her eoile to exercise rigid econ
omy ill the disjiosillon of her dead.
The liuriul place is on the top of a
steep" hill, which overlooks the city,
and conalHtaof nn area inclosed by whnt
iix-ur from tiie outside to be o high
wall, but which discovers itaelf from
vtllliin to 1e s receptacle for bodiea,
which are placed In tiers, much as the
eon tinea of the native valleys compel
them to live. ICach compartment in
the wall la large enough to admit one
colfln, snd la rented for one dollar
per mouth. The toor people are bur
ied In t lie ground without the formality
of a coffin, though one la uaually rent
ed, in which the body isconvrved to the
piste. As there are not grara enough
to go a run nd, whenever a riew one ia
lieoiled a previous tenant must lie din
tt.rlied, and Uiia likrwiw hapiena hen
a truant's rent la not promptly paid In

from Its pluee in I Its luauaoleum, or

Three or four of us chipped in to
get his meals and make him comfortr
able, but we saw that the journey was
telling on his strength. On the morn
ing of the day we were to reach Selma
I could see that he was weak and ner
vous, and when I sat down beside him
he said: '
"Ize feelin' sort o' skeart 'bout my
self dis mawnin'. I had a dream last
night dat i was walkin' long de road
an' met a funeral, an' when I axed
who was gwine to be buried a white
man spoke up and said:
" Ton my soul, if dat hain't Mars

late to see yo'r ole mars; dat's him in
de coffin, an' he. was a axin 'bout yo'
jes de day befo' he died.' "
I told him that dreams did not sig
nify, and after a bit had him quite
chirped up.: I got him some tobacco
for his pipe, saw that he had breakfast,
and as I left him he smiled all over with
happiness, ns he said:
"Only two hours mo' to Selmal Ize
moas dun got derel"
Thirty minutes later the conductor
lieckoned to three or four of us to
come into the smoker. The old man
sat in his chair,' leaning against the
side of the car, and seemed to be sleep
ing. "He'a been dead ten minutes," quletr
ly observed the conductor, "and he
died as peacefully as a child falling
asleep!"
So he had. There whs a smile on his
old black face a smile of anticipa
tion, and the pipe had not fallen from
his fingers. Death had come like a
soft and fleeck mantle, and its touch
had been painless. Detroit Free Tress.
