.TUE IHDIANAPÖLIG JOUHHAL, SUNDAY, SEPTEIJBEIt 23, KCl. 10 lutlon (of 1TS0) have worked upon the minds of the more ignorant part ol the industrial urban population as alcohol works upon a feeble brain. The ancient respect for au thority has been turned into a blind hatred of authority. Political liberty, widely ex tended in mo?t countries of Europe, has r.ot bettered the condition of the industrial class as it was expected to do. Power still remains largely in, the hands of the rich. The luxury of the new rich, which Is much in evidence, excites more envy than did the luxury of the titled grandees of last century'- Thu3 there is. la larse sections of the Industrial urban population of continental Europe (for the conditions of Britain are quite different) a sullen sense of wrong and an angry longing for change, which, in the. more excitable or criminal mind, rises into a sort of wPd fury against all exisMng institutions, aüd especially against governments as the repressive powers which are deemed to hold the people down. CAUSE AND REMEDY. Add to these facts the now almost uni versal habit among the urban population of reading and the excitement maintained by the constant diffusion of news and the removal by the press of the veil of stately obscurity which used to conceal the per sonality of rulers from the eyes of subjects, add all these things together, and it will be seen that the spread of what we called anarchistic principles might well have been predicted for the criminal manifestations associated, whether rightly or wrongly, with those principles, the number of per sons with more or less disordered brains Is so large and Increases so fast that wher ever there Is a widely diffused excitement one must expect it to break out, in fierce cr vicious natures, into savage crime. Buch natures do not ask themselves, "Of, what use is the crime, and how will It bring any nearer the overturn of estab lished Institutions which we desire?" Ar gument Is lost on them, as the fear of pun ishment has proved to be. For the last ten years or more the gov ernments of continental Europe have been busying themselves with schemes for deal ing with the evil, but they seem to get no further. Six or 3even years ago, after the öynamlte outrages at Barcelona, the Brit ish government was invited to join In some severely repressive measures, but In Brit ain, as in the United States, the settled maxims and rules of law and administra tion make it Impossible to take the kind ct arbitrary action which 13 permitted in tnost continental countries. Nor do those jwidcr police powers which continental gov ernments command seem to succeed, for the evil gees on. It Is even possible that greater severity might aggravate. Never theless, one cannot but regret that capital punishment has been abolished in Italy, and cannot but stand astonished at what has happened In Belgium, where . Sipido lias been allowed, through the weakness, lirst of the jury and then of the admin istration, to escape scot-free. Perhaps there is nothing to be done but see that every assassin receives punishment and wait patiently till the epidemic dies out tof itself, as other epidemics of crime and folly have done before. New conditions liave engendered it, or have at least ag gravated the tendencies to iL "When those conditions have themselves become modi fied, it, too, may decline and disappear. But it Is one of the most depressing fea tures of the closing century; one of the most painful proofs that the hopes of rapid human progress which were so rife in thtj world forty years ago were too sanguine. London, England, Sept. 12. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. What are the sources of paraline? Petroleum and a; mineral wax called ozokerite.

Was the French detective Vidocq the great genius some make him out to be? No, rather, he was more of a scamp than a capturer of scamps. As a boy he robbed his father and ran away. After a spell of vagabondage he entered the French army, then deserted to the Austrians, later serving again in the French forces. Next, discreditable life brought him sentence to eight years In prison. He escaped before the expiration of his sentence, and soon was employed by the Paris police in a grade of spies that Included many toughs and convicts. After entering business and failing he established a bureau for the re covery of stolen property, but was com pelled by the police to give it up, and until his death lived In obscurity and poverty. His name has been con nected with almost countless fictitious adventures, but his memoirs are considered unreliable and even their authorship is doubted.

Much space ha3 been given in these notes to the comparative Isolation of consump tives and the fresh-air treatment. It may seem to the general public that too much stress Is laid upon these factors by sani tarians, but the conditions, as they usually exist, are forcibly shown by Dr. Raw, of England. As a rule the consumptive Iii looked upon by his friends and relatives as hopelessly stricken, and he Is, therefore, given the best room In the house, from which all fresh atr Is religiously excluded, the windows even being sealed down, and every method taken to render the air im pure and overheated. In addition the pa tient Is overclothed with heavy woolen clothing, and loaded down, when in bed, with blankets and comforters. All of these are conditions In which consumption flour ishes. As a rule those afflicted are young, and naturally attract much sympathy, but much of this sympathy, in its expression, la of the klndness-that-kills kind. There may be drugs that may cure consumption or alleviate some of its manifestations, but the only cure known to be such is fresh air and sunlight, with proper environment. The time Is not far distant when consump tives will be provided with suitable Sana toriums In every country and state, not for the close confinement and life quaran tinement of consumptives alone, but for the early treatment and cure of the young cursed with this baneful disease. Instead of the legend popularly supposed to express the fate of those who enter the portals, "leave oil hope behind," will be written the cheering greeting, "hope on and be assured of life, ye who enter here." To build and maintain such Sanatoriums Dr. Phicque, a French physician, recommends an addi tional tax upon alcohol, which he believes is perfectly Justifiable, since alcoholism is one of the great factors In the causation of consumption. Some so-called tafesu&rds against dis ease are In reality traps for disease. Come faulty rawer-trips are an cxaxnpls ct this. Much more common, however, is the filter, often placed on the cold water faucet with the idea that it catches various germs, good and bad, and organic matter that may vitiate the water. These are. In theory, good, but In practice, bad, for thvy are actually filth traps of the worst de scription. In experiments made by the Buffalo Health Department water drawn from these filter-protected faucets ' was found teeming with bacteria and actually contained more germs than unflltered water. The danger of drinking filtered; water was shown to be seventeen times greater than that of drinking unaltered water. The filters, at best, clarify the water, making It beautifully limpid, but they are veritable germ-breeders, the more prolific the longer they are used. Any old filter, according to the public idea, will Improve the quality of the water, but this Is a most dangerous fallacy. Other things being equal, a reversible filter Is the best, since it is occasionally washed clean If folks will take the trouble to turn it. Per-. haps as efficacious a filter as any, at any rate a simple and inexpensive one, is to make a bag of flannel and tie It around the nozzle of the faucet. Two, at least, of these should be made, and the one should take the place of the other while it is turned Inside out, washed and boiled every day. Such a filter will catch in jurious matter contaminating the water. and if changed daily will not serve as a neat and breeding place for offensive germs and decaying matter. At this time of the year the daily papers have their usual notices of death from mushrooms a most horrible death, by the way. These are always accidental, a case of mistaken identity for which there Is really no excuse. By addressing the De partment of Agriculture, at Washington. books and colored charts descriptive of the edible and poisonous fungi may be ob tained which will enable persons to dis tinguish tho good from the bad. It would also be a good idea if these charts m were displayed in schools and other places where they would make an impression, but unless the person collecting these fungi has con siderable experience this nutritious and palatable dish should not be Indulged in. Even the edible mushrooms are only safe In their prime, as they are prone to de velop poisons in decaying, so they must be consumed as soon as possible after gather ing. It Is also important that the mush rooms be free from grubs and larvae of flies and other insects. Briefly stated, the following are the gen eral rules by which edible fungi may be distinguished rom poisonous ones: ' Re ject all which become dark when bruised; all that have an unpleasant odor or taste; all that have a very thin, slender stem, a turn-down collarette, white lamallae, or whose tcps are studded with white or gray wart-like excrescences. Some of the most delicious mushrooms have some . of these qualities, but they arc common to the pois onous ones. Woody and corky fungi are. of course, inedible. The surest way to avoid error Is to get someone well ac quainted with mushrooms to point out the edible varieties and confine yourself to such as you know are safe. They should be gathered after the dew is oft the grass, and should not be too far advanced in growth. The poisonous effects of poisonous mushrooms do not, as a rule, appear Im mediately after eating, but only after sev eral hours, and the worst effects occur be tween thirty-six and forty-eight hours after eating them. The symptoms reach their height very rapidly after the onset, and the patient usually passes away rapidly, al though In some cases he may linger in agony for five or six days. Burghart, In an article In the Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift, gives a valuable resume of the treatment of consumption. Fever Is combatted with rest and cold ab lutions, with pyramidon, quinine, or phena cetlne as drugs. Night sweats may be checked by sponging with water, aromatic vinegar, or water with a little citric or tartaric acid in solution. A 1 per cent, men thol solution or 10 per cent, of formalin and 3 to 4 per cent, of peppermint oil in alcohol is also efficacious. Pleuritic pains In the chest are relieved by mus tard plasters or by a felt splint. In ob stinate cases morphine may be given cau tiously. Much stress is given to the pre ventative treatment by hardening the sys tem when there is a predisposition to phthisis. Outdoor life is recommended, with abundant sleep and proper, generous diet, with plenty of meat. Burghart es pecially recommends sugar as of value as food, and prescribes nearly seven ounces of beet or cane sugar dally. Alcohol may also be used in small quantities, but It may be dispensed with if desired, as it is not an essential element in the treat ment. Dr. Stone, in a very humane article re garding the treatment of the insane, says such patients require exercise and fresh air, and that occupation of some kind is very useful. Change of scenery is pood for most patients, but travel Is r.ften harmful on account of the excitement and irregular habits of eating and sleeping. Many cases can be treated in a well-ordered home, and in most cases the home treatment should be thoroughly tried before removal Is de cided upon, provided thero 13 no homicidal, suicidal or destructive form of mania. ' The patient's room should be a pleasant one, convenient to the ground, and a careful nurse should be with the patient constant ly. Aside from the disgrace always asso ciated with an asylum, which Is always a bitter memory and reproach to those who have been temporarily insane and re strained, incarceration in an asylum seri ously affects the mind and spirits of per sons who recover. Various forms of medicated food haye been suggested at times, such as laxative raisins for children, etc., and the manufac ture of these is comparatively simple. Of late years many experiments have been made to discover and make practicable some organic form of Iron which should be assimilated more readily and with less disturbance to the system than the various salts of Iron formerly in vogue. Kobert has discovered a method for causing hens to lay eggs rich in Iron, and In time, no doubt, the bloodless and weak patient will take his nourishment and medicine at the same time in a raw or properly cooked egg. Prescriptions. A laxative fruit salt having an agreeable taste is composed of bicarbonate of scda. 3 ounces: cream of tartar, 5 ounces; Ro- chelle salt, 2 ounces; tartaric acid, 1 ounce; sugar, lit ounce; oil of lemon, 20 drops; oil of orange, 10 drops. Cascara sagrada is a popular laxative, but in Its crude form It Is Intensely bitter and nauseating, and causes griping. The following elixir is free from these objec tions: Finely cut cascara bark. 6 parts; alcohol (CO per cent.), 12 parts; Malaga wine (California). 50 parts; simple syrup, 25 parts; distilled water, sufficient to make 100 parts. 4 In remittent fever and other malaria troubles the following, known as Baccell's mixture. Is credited with remarkably rapid cures: Sulphate of quinine, 45 grains; ferro- tartrate of potash. 2 drams; Fowler's so lution, 25 minims; distilled water sufficient to make 13 ounces. The dose is from ons to thres tableipoonfuls dally. L. N., IX. D. FOR FEMININE READERS THE ADVA5TACU OF THE COURSE DLWCn OVER -"FAMILY FEED." College Training Out of Favor with a Certain Fushlonable Class A Trade for "Women. ' ' - A man may be rich and Increased In oods and yet keep, the safe path to heaven. says Marion Ilarland, in the Philadelphia North American. Ills wife may wear pur ple and fine linen, and both may fare sumptuously every, day, yet live godly and bober lives and Inherit everlasting life. A statesman may take a glass of wine at a friend's .tableland yet hold fast to his integrity, and deserve the confidence of his constituents. It is entirely possible for the ascetic to be as worldly-minded as the epicure. .This preamble was provoked by the talk of two men who sat behind me xn a subur ban train this afternoon. One, judging from bis dress and 'Intonations, was a minister. I fancy he would not like to be called a "clergyman." The other took pains to re mark that he was "a self-made man." He capped the remark by asserting that he "did not give in to worldly vanities, al though he could buy them what practyzed such three times over." He was, furthermore, of the opinion that "the country is going to the dogs all on ac count of the sinful extravagance and fol-de-lols of women who think men are born for nothing but to provide them with fine ciothes and fine furniture and to keep them In style." He had "no manner of patience witn new-rangled notions like course din ners and the like. Plain roast, b'iled and tried, with a vegetable or two and a slice of pie at 1 o'clock In the day, was good enough for him or any other American Christian. "Seems as if the Nation never will learn righteousness, even when judgments are abroad in the land. We've lost one Vice lTesident through abominations like course dinners. They do say he eat eighty-odd of em hand running." If such stuff were not current eossln. and had not been repeated in so-called respect able newspapers, the tale might better be passed over in silent contempt. ine great national loss so flippantly re ferred to by our self-made plebeian is too fresh in our minds to allow us to laugh the absurd charge out of court. One solemn editorial to which, by the way, the clerical companion of the unworldly passenger re ferredheld up the eighty-odd consecutive course dinners as a warning to a nation that is making haste to be rich and luxuri ous. The editor, the clerical indorser of the admonition and the purse-proud "plain man" who has no manner of patience with sucn worlely vanities one and all devour 365 consecutive dinners every year. The worianness ergo, the sin of the tunction lies in the arrangement of soup, fish, meats and sweets in regular courses according to rules prescribed by dietetic and social laws. Such a meal, according to our customs, verges upon immorality. The family feed is virtuous. With groanings of spirit I recall a Thanksgiving feed to which I was one set down. A genuine old-fashioned (hence al together laudable) Thanksgiving dinner. When my plate reached me the mountain ous contents almost touched my chin. Im primis, roast turkey, stuffing and gravy; secundus, four kinds of vegetables, includ ing cabbage and turnips; tertius, cranberry rauce, pickles and currant "jell." A simi lar collection confronted every one of the ten iredestined caters. Eight out of the ten bent him and herself to the task with energy that "cleared the dish," and, for aught I know, "licked the platter clean" before I could disengage a bit of the brown bird from its incumbrances. Then every body had a second help. When "time" was called for plum pudding, mince and numn- kin pie all eyes stood out with fatness. ii came to me like a revelation. In recall ing that awful "gorge" 'while my pursy neighbor discoursed, that, he imagined the obnoxious eighty-odd course dinners, hand running, to be equivalent to that number of family feeds. In which case I fully acquiesce in his objurgations. The mortal was never created Jack's Welsh clant no exception who could survive the undertak ing. He may never see this pace. The prob ability is that he never casts his lordly eye upon a woman s department. There may be others who require to be told that it i3 more healthful, as well as more seemly, to partaKe leisurely of many harmonious littles than to gobble a promiscuous whole. The smooth sequence of courses any one, or two, or three of which the diner may refuse if he will is the friend, not the enemy of digestion. It promotes appetite and satisfies it in an orderly fashion. The eater rises content and comfortable from the table over which he has lingered for a social hour, filling the "waits" with cheer ful conversation. There is all the difference between 'such gracious ceremony and the business-like "bolt" of the family feed, that we see in the leisurely slp3 of the humming bird from flower to flower as compared with the gulp and gorge of the bloated toad. Women an Jlookbindera. New Orleans Times Democrat. "One of the prettiest occupations in the world for a woman nowadays," said the representative of a well-known art publish ing house, "is the binding of books. Of course, one must have considerable artistic taste In order to acquire the craft, but ar tistic taste is not so rare at present, and there are scores of girls wearing their lives away as clerks and teachers who could be come skilled binders with little difficulty. The methods pursued by an Individual worker who aims to produce unique effects are entirely different from those of a big modern bindery, and the trade can only flourish In great cities, where there is a large and wealthy class from which to draw patrons. The art binder uses very few tools, and the entire outfit consists of half a dozen instruments, shaped like bod kins, a heavy leather pad, a wooden mallet, a paste pot, some needles and waxed thread and a supply of gold leaf. The whole col lection costs only $3 or $1. and every detail of the work is done painstakingly by hand. Such craftsmen make a specialty of bind ing fine books In such a way as to add to their beauty and value. The volumes they operate upon are generally new, because old and rare books are, of course, preserved in their original covers, and great pains are taken to make the binding harmonize with the contents. Not long ago I saw a copy of Watson's 'Hymn to the Sea and Other Poems,' which had been rebound by a young woman who has a shop, or 'studio, as she calls it. in Chicago. The material used was very dark morocco, and the tcoiea nesign represented sprays of sea weed. The inside of the covers, which to a connoisseur are Just as important as the outside, were ornamented with a small figure of a starfish in gold, scattered Ir regularly over the surface. The effect was exquisite. She got $G5 for binding that book, and worked at it, off and on, for a month, but she had at least half a dozen others in hand at the same time. There are two other women binders in Chicago and five or six in New York. They all have as much work as they can possibly, do." Laces In the. Laundry. New York Evening Sun. The time for putting up lace draperies Is again at hand. Not all housekeepers realize how easily and successfully their lace cur tains may be laundered at home. When ever It is possible it is far better to have them treated to the domestic cleansing pro cess than to send them to the cleaners, for they are too often torn and destroyed when sent out to be washed. Even delicate, fine curtains may be put through the following process without injury. Put them Into a tub of cold or tepid water with no soap or washing fluid, and let them soak over night. In the morning pass them through the wringer, folding them so that they will not be pulled out of shape or stretched. For the next step prepare a suds of tepid water and pure white soap and work the curtains up and down In this until the soap and water penetrate every part. Rubbing the curtains Is. of course, out of the ques tion. Wring them out once more. Do not wring them by hand, but either pass them through the wringer or squeeze them be tween the palms of the hands. The next water should bo clear rinsing water, from which the curtains should pass, to the blu Ins water. The bluing and starching should be combined Into one atep. Add 1 csma liquid fciua to cold water and add Me Woman's Tailor and Dressmaker Is showing his stock of imported woolens for tailor mades; also an exclusive line of art silks, satins and fancy materials for party, dinner and reception gowns, car riage and opera wraps, with trimmings es pecially designed for him.

Delaware St Appointments Made by Mail or Telephone One Ring on 97-4. boiled starch, enough to make a very thin starching fluid. From this water pass the curtains once more through the wringer and stretch them out on the frames. It is far better if the frames can be placed in the open air and In the sunlight while the curtains are drying, but If this is impos sible, and if the frames themselves are not at hand, pin the curtains out on sheets stretched over the carpet. Each point should be carefully pinned out and the cur tain left with as even an edge as may be. Open the windows and let In the out-of-door air while the lace dries. t The proper way to launder a white lace veil is similar to that of washing. curtains. The veil need not be soaked over night. In stead, begin by putting it into a strong latner of white soap and clear water and letting It simmer slowly for fifteen or twenty minutes. Remove it from the water and squeeze it well, but do not rub It. Rinse It In clear cold water, then in water with a drop or two of liquid blue added. For starching use either very clear gum-arabic water or rice water. Pass the veil through it and clear it by clapping. Then stretch it out and pin it to dry on a linen cloth. When dry, lay a thin piece of muslin over it and iron It on the wrong side. Lace edging is not at all beyond the skill of the home laundress. Those who have made the attempt declare that the sum mery gowns that are trimmed with black lace edging are not unpleasantly affected by the wash tub, and that the black lace, far from being ruined, looks well after ward. Black lace should, however, be dried far from the fire and heat of any kind, as it is likely to turn it rusty. Black lace, not on a dress, may be dried by plac ing it on a dry towel, stretching it out, then covering it with another dry towel to absorb the moisture. To wash white lace edging, a very good plan is to stretch it out on a piece of muslin cloth and sew in into place. Now put the lace, muslin and all, into a good lather and let it boll. Rinse It in clear water and put it in the sunlight to dry. When thoroughly dry, cut the stitches and the lace will be as good as new. For the Brlde-to-IIc.

There are wholly new autumn skirt designs that clear the ground that are, nevertheless, very graceful in effect. Pink and pale tea-rose yellow are very fashion able colors for bridesmaids' dresses, and the beautiful creped satins are highly fa vored materials. These are more expensive than most of the grades of either plain satin, peau de sole or crepe de Chine. Real lace berthas, Jeweled pins' and boxes of natural flowers, matching the various tints of their gowns, would make very elegant gifts to your bridesmaid and maid of honor. For your mother a gown of a pink ish shade of mauve or one of silver bro cade, with lace garnitures, would prove ex tremely becoming. These are, of course, quite the conventional colors, but there are no others that just take their place. Black velvet is very elegant, so also are gowns of white lace or satin, but objections have al ways been made to black at a wedding; and at a recent midsummer marriage the slen der, handsome mother of the bride was quite severely criticised for attempting to "actually rival her plainer daughter by appearing at her wedding in a white satin gown, made with a corselet girdle and a lace bolero." One other always becoming, appropriate and elegant gown for the mother of either the bride or groom Is one In black and white melanges, In lace and net, satin brocade, matelasse silk, etc. A city modiste is Just completing a dress that Is formed of a deep, rich shade of Jacque rose red and cream-colored satin brocade, lined with white taffeta and trimmed most elaborately with Venlse guipure lace en applique. Ways of "Onr Set." Chicago Post. "Our set," a pretty girl was heard to say, "does not go to college." It is quite true. Women's colleges are no longer favored by extremely fashionable people and coeducational Institutions never were. Private schools, or, more exclusive still, private governesses and tutors for their daughters, two years at an Eastern finishing school and a European trip 1 the present style of education. The European trip is held to be quite as instructive as a college couree, and to take both would un duly put off the "coming out" period. Many a girl is eighteen before she is pre pared for colleg; after four years there and two in Europe it would not be a bud but a full-blown rose of twenty-four who would make her debut. Book learning, argue the mothers, is not everything. The girls must be-fluent in two languages besides their own, their voices must be trained; nice needlework is also one of the womanly fads of the day. These things take time. Then the physical side must be cultivated; there are fencing, dan cing and rldjng lessons. "I consider a good seat on a horse far more Important than the ability to write a clever composition, said a young mother. Her own little daughter has as yet mounted nothing but a rocking horse, but as soon as she is seven her equestraln training will begin. As for college. It Is all very well for a girl who expects to become a teacher, but the girls of "our set" rather look down upon It, with that funny youthful snobbery most girls and boys go through at one time or another. The mothers would send a daugh ter there if she displayed extraordinary aptitude for study and little for anything else, but they do not encourage It. At the Eastern finishing schools the girl rubs off home timldy, makes pleasant friends, cul tlvates further the languages, literature und history which form her principal ac quirements, and then goes to Europe to improve her French and German and widen her mind. "Our set" does not care for college. , The Surprise Visit. Collier! Weekly. "I would not take my own mother by sur prise," said a lady, talking of a visit to her old home which she was about to make. "One can never t:ll la what circurt-nccj a family may be placed, ncr tiorf much o Ii o ffirappn frmnHon of euests. A few lines beforehand, or at least a telegram, should be sent to prepare the way for an arriving ctiest. sn that she may be assured of her welcome." To this may be added the very a. A. courteous suggestion that visits ougnt. nui to be indefinite. When sending an mvua tinn. or when, as is often done when kins folk and intimate friends are making plans, asking for one, let the precise time of the intended stay be indicated. This clears the track for other engagements, and leaves a margin. If desirable, for a prolongation of the visit's term. Surprises may find one member of a family down with a- fever, another embarking for Eu- rftnp. and another nlunced in a wninpooi of work which cannot be given up for play, however attractive the latter may be. 13 There a Moral to Tbl? New York Tribune. Probably ninety-nine men out of a hun dred who have been refused by their first love have lived to be devoutly thankful that they were not taken at their word. while such Is the irony of fate that women are apt to regret their lost opportunities. It is not often, however, that what "might have been" is brought so directly home as in the case of an unexpected and not alto gether pleasant happening of the last sum mer. A very prominent lawyer, whose large practice and successful Investments justified the most luxurious living, took a large house for his family at Oldport, and thither they all betook themselves, with horses and carriages and automobiles ana a largo staff of servants. After a few weeks vacation, however. Mrs. inompson decided that her daughters would be the better for a little regular employment, and inserted an advertisement for a governess in one of the. New York dailies. She re ceived several answers, ßelected one that pleased her, and after a short correspond ence on the subject, engaged a Miss Anna Blank as companion and governess for her children, without havlns mentioned the name of her husband. Her own name Mrs. II. Thompson conveyed no particular im pression to her new inmate, who arrived at the time appointed and proved to be a pleasant, rather colorless, middle-aged woman of cultivation, who appeared to be just what Mrs. Thompson required. As Mr. Thompson came down only for Sundays and Miss Blank arrived on Monday, the latter did not meet him, until she had be come accustomed to her new duties, and was, so to speak, a member of the family. It was not until the introduction took place when Miss Blank came down after dinner Saturday evening with her pupils (Mrs. Thompson being quite English in her habit of having her children with her only at -luncheon) that there was a mutual recognition. lears before, when Mr. Thompson was a struggling young lawyer and Miss Blank the belle of her native village, he had been madly in love with her. So much so that when she refused him his entire future seemed blasted and life utterly worthless. How he left for the' metropolis, how he suc ceeded, how he married and lived to bless the day Anna Blank had driven him forth to seek his fortune, is too long to tell. "Heavens, what an escape!" he said, to himself after the recognition, comparing the shabby little figure and wrinkled face of his old love with the fine presence of his still beautiful wife, while the former, contrasting her lonely condition with that of the woman who was surrounded by the good things of this world, could not help sighing mentally, "What a mistake!" Odds and Ends. Half a teaspoonful of sugar will nearly always revive a dying fire. It is convenient' to have an iron holder attached by a long string to the band of the apron when cooking. It saves burnt Angers or scorched aprons, and is always at hand. Keep a clasp knife, or a knife with a handle different from those in common use, for the sole purpose of peeling onions, and so avoid the flavor and color of them where it is neither expected nor desired. All the bows for the hair have been In fected by the gold microbes and a bit of gold gauze ribbon is twisted Into the black velvet and the white satin bows that are so practical for ordinary dinner and home wear. Fancy covers for washstand and bureau have gone out to a great extent. Fine white figured damask with deep hemstitched hem !s used on the handsomest furniture. White lace In heavy qualities, uch as Honiton and Renaissance is used entirely plain over a pastel color of China silk to match tho room. White Swiss, with a deep hem, fin ished at top with lace beading through which colored ribbon Is run, laid over sateen or silk in a light shade. Is the mot elaborate used. Long pin-cushions, covered with an embroidered pieced and edged with rutflcs of footing are put on them. The new Russian blouse, with and with out the skirt below the waist, which fin ished all the Russian blouses when last in vogue, will rival the Eton and bolero jack ets in fashionable favor. These garments are particularly becoming to slender fig ures. Many of them are belted, and most of them have the drooping blouse effect on the front, even those which are tucked and stitched from shoulder to belt. Soutache braidwork, Russian embroidery, silk or cloth strappings and appliques, and narrow gold braid and buttons are the favored trimmings for these blouses a la Russe. An excellent cough candy Is made of slippery elm, flaxseed and sugar. Soak a gill of whole flaxseed In a half pint of boil ing water. In another dish put a cup of broken bits of slippery elm and cover this also with boillnc water. I.t th erne cH rsl for two hours. Then strain them both through a muslin cloth in a saucepan con taining a pound and a half of granulated bugar. Extract all the liquor you can. sti the sugar until It Is melted and then boll It until it turns to candy. Pour It out at ence when it reaches this point on to greased papers.- This is the old-fashioned rule. The candy is more palatable If the juice of two lemons Is added to it after it has cooked for ten minutes. Brown is popular once more, and a host of women will look more honelessly plain than a beneficent Irovidence Intended, says a New York fashion writer. There seems to be an idea that any one can wear brown. In reality it is a color to be treated with marked respect, and a woman needs deep discretion In choosing the exact shade of browp that will be becoming to her. Yel low brown will steal all the life from some hair and eyes. Gray brown will ruin some complexions. Red brown will make a sal low skin more sallow. And yet the right brown on the right girl Is a thing to con jure with. Touches of burnt orange and black appear on many of the brown gowns. Dull blue and certain shades of green also combine well with many browns; yet a brown costume does not lend itself to indis criminate combination, and unless one la prepared to achieve a complete eytnphony In browns or.; would tetter cheers a more tiaptabla czlz? fcr a czzrzl carvtca eca- v. . r The Stepping Stones of My Success Is purity, quality and quantity.
