Wash them clean, but do not peel, and pat in a saucepan with slightly salted water; boil an hour, replacing -the water with more boiling hot as it evaporates; turn of the water and lay the onionis on a cloth to dry them ?well; roll each onion in a piece of buttered or waxed paper, twisting it at the top to keep, and bake in a slow oven one hour, or until tender through! peel them and place in a deep baking dish and brown slightly, basting well with butter for fifteen minutes; take trom oven, season with ?pepper and butter melted and poured over them. They will taste like more. ? ? ? ? WHEN USING GLYCERINE. Glycerine is cne of the most valu able cosmetics we have, as it whitens and softens most skins, and also is a powerful bleacher. There are some skins with which ?it does not seem to agree, probably because it is not diluted sufficiently. If used in too concentrated a form it abstracts so much moisture from the skin it has the effect of burning.! For dry or sensitive skins glyce rine should be diluted about one-third part to two-thirds of some perfumed j watered; for the average skin one half of each will be weak enough. Elderflower, violet, rose, lavender or orngeflower water all combine wellj APPENDIX ELEVEN INCHES LONG REMOVED FROM A KANSAS CITY WOMAN. Kansas City, Mo,.?The world's vermiform appendix record is held in Kansas City. Miss Stella Hogan holds the title, and in a preservative bottle in the office of Dr. St. Elmo Sanders is an eleven inch appendix to support her claim. This, the longest appendix on record, was removed at the hospital by Dr. Sanders. Miss Hogan recov ered and left the hospital in three weeks. The ordinary appendix is from one and one half to two inches long. Early last week George Goss, former Yale athlete, lay claim to the appen dix championship. His appendix was six inches long. Four days later Howard Gould, ofWinthrop, Mass., was operated on in a Boston hospital for appendicitis. Then the press dispatches announced that Goss, champion for four days, had lost the record. Gould's appendix measure six and seven eighths inches. COL J. T. BOWYER'S WILL PROBATED. HELD THIRTY DAYS AT HIS REQUEST. The will of the late Col. J. T. Bowver was admitted to probate last week at Winfield. At his request it was held SO davs after his death. The will was dated January 9, 1P09, and his signature was witnessed by * Taylor G. Hoge and Jas. Cargill. By its provisions all the property the deceased owned, both personal and real, with the exception of -5100 bequeathed to to his sister, Mrs. D. P. Middleton, shall be divided in five equal parts, one share going to each of his brothers, C. L. and N. P. Bowycr, one share to his sister, Mrs. Victoria Dudding, one share to the five surviving children of Geo. C. Bowycr, deceased, and one share to the three surviving children and cer tain grandchildren of Mrs. Maria Miller, deceased. Jerome Dudding is by the will ap pointed executor, without bond, and he is directed to dispose of any prop erty it affects, in the form and man ner and at the time he may deem the most advantageous. The value of the estate is not men tioned in the will, and is not known, but it is variously estimated at from $40,000 to $75,000.

The soldiers during the war J>e came adepts at coffee making, with only a tin cup for a coffee pot. They would fill the cup nearly full of cold water, put in enough coffee to make it sufficiently strong, let it soak in a moist condition and set it on the eamp fire and bring it to a boil, and then make a long pour of a stream of cold water from a canteen held high above the cup to "settle" it. Uncle Sam furnished very good cof fee, as a rule, to his soldier boys, and they enjoyed it, as a veteran an cestor has often told me. A good cup of coffee is made by taking two thirds of the best Java for flavor, and the remaining third of equal parts Mocha for strength, and Mara ; caibo far color. Boil fresh water in the |>orcclain-lincd pot, then add the coffee. After the coffee has been on the fire ten minutes shake the pot slightly with*a rotarv motion and then let it stand for five minutes more. Serve with cream. An essen tial point to be remembered is that the best quality of coffee and fresh water are necessary for hygienic reasons, hot water from the faucet must not be drawn, but cold water must be allowed to boil on the stove for the epecial purpose of good coffee. TIMELY HINTS ON THE CULTURE OF BROOM CORN BROOMS RETAILING AT 75 CENTS. The field is prepared for the sect! "v the same methods as for.

W hen the little yellow blossom drops Off and the milky^lp of thc seed begins to mature, which occurs about the 15th of August, the brush must be cut quickly, for when the seed gets ripe the burs!, turns from a ffreen to a red color and the value of the brush greatlp decreases. W farmers break broom corn several days before they cut it in or der to have it grown straight. This 'S a mistaken idea, ? it will ruin your crop every time. Daring the process of catting ;l man takes the lead and starts in'be tween two rows, going backward and breaks the stalks over about hree feet from the ground cross,V, hem so that a table is formed with the brush protuding ?n eitherside the first process is called "tablem-" e cord, and is done immediately before cutting.

I* Much More Convenient Than the Reticule or the Immense Purse So Long In Vogue?Are Easily Made. The reticules, smart leather bait*. Immense purses, hare made way for : <he dlrectolre bag. This Is now used j as It was In tbe days of Its pristine glory for all social occasions aftor the noon hour. They are most conrenlent?more so than the bag of leather, because they bare not Its stiffness. Its unwieldy ? bulk. It Is more ornamental than those of kid. and It harmonizes with the costume in an artistic way. It has taken the place of the chain bag of silver and gold, though, of course, women who own these $100 luxuries will add the dlrectolre bag to their costume In the evening when a metal bag Is out of place. One fashionable form Is made of beaded silk, with the metal clasps at the top and deep fringe at the bot tom. This has a silken cord to go over the arm. Simpler ones are made of old brocade, with silk fringe and a 1 gathered top with silk cord. Black velvet ones for afternoon are heavily embroidered In Jet and edged with Jet fringe: others are of all-over Jet lined with clotb-of-gold or silver. There are alluring ones for debu i tantes made of gold galloon and cloth of-gold profusely trimmed with satin roses In W'atteau tints. This has a gnthered heading and a double silken cord. Others of cloth-of-sllver with a huge brilliant rose with outspread leaves as its ornament Extra smart ones are made of etoffe anclenne, which has been revived ! from mediaeval times. This is a heavy brocade with gold and silver threads woven through It It Is henv ily trimmed with rusty gold medal lions or the bees of Napoleon or the empire wreath, with one's initial In the middle. These dlrectolre bags can be made at home. If one wishes them mount ed to a rim of metal at the top. It is quite easy and not too expensive to have It done. This Is more in keeping i with the dlrectolre style, but the method of the Moyen age still pre vails: this has the gathered top con , fined with the silken cords which end in tassels of silk or bullion. PLAIN GLCVES ALWAYS RIGHT Novelties In the Shape of Embroid ered and Jeweled Backs Never in Good Taste. There are many new fancies in ' gloves, lace inserted and embroidered ar.d Jeweled backs. Conservative dressers, however, leave such novel ties alone; the plain suede or kid glove remains the proper thing to wear and those others are pretentious and vulgar. They crop up In the shops at all times. Where they come from or where they go to always remains a mystery. They are never worn by any woman who understands the art of dressing. Apropos of gloves should be men tioned the growing tendency to make gloves help with the touch of color which Is one of the dress notes of the moment For instance, the other day a prominent Parisian actress at the opening of. one of the multitudinous charity fetes wore green gloves. The other touches of green in her cos tume were a velvet stole trimmed with ermine tails and a green feather toque, so small that at a distance it seemed like a large bow placed amidst the bands of her fair hair. This tiny hat had for sole decora tion a large round Jeweled ornament placed Just over the forehead. The vivid green hat. stole, and gloves made a striking addition to a white voile grown. THE DAISY APRON. ! or plain muslin, has a ruffle of the same with lace beading Into which pale yellow ribbon Is, run. The daisies may be easily outlined In pen cil and worked solid in white and yellow center. Novelty Fane. Women of fashion are now fasten ing exquslte Empire fans to a bracelet for evening use. The fans are paint ed, and mounted on pearl stems, and have a slender flexible gold chain at tached. This Is hooked to any kind of loosely worn bracelet the wearer owns, i Both trinkets may be bought together. Folding. If possible, all clothes sbou!4 be folded on washing day. ready for starching and Ironing; but In house holds where this Is Impossible the folding must be done first thing morn ing. HADE TO FIT ANY HANDLE Davie* That Will Pratact the Flngara Whan Pouring Tea, and Can Ba Embroidered to Match Service. A holder for the teapot handle la one of tboae thing* that can always be made from odd remnants of material j In spare moments and can b* carried out In many designs. We give a sketch of a tery pretty lit tle device of this kind which will fit comfortably round almost any handle. and it can be made In Wo or three thicknesses of aream blanketing or serge, joined at the edrjes by a button hole stitching worked In violet wool. The center of the design Is also ndorned with embroidery in pale and darker shades of violet, to represent the marking of a heartsease blossom. A loop ot violet ribbon, by which the bolder may be suspended on some con venient nail, completes the design. Other flowers might, of course, be worked in a similar way. and It would be a good Idea to have the holder em broidered to match any flower design that may appear upon the tea service. WILL TEMPT POOR APPETITE Dainty Serving and Frequent Changes In the Menu Are Appreciated by Invalid. When an invalid is in one's own home It is much easier to make a meal attractive than it is if food must be sent a distance. Purchase a number of little round paper dollies, the vari ety with paper lace edges. They are nice to place under dishes and will protect the napkin. Change the dishes from time to time. It is the sameness which an invalid always expects and dreads and usually gets. Even an egg may be served In dainty crystal, or an egg. whites and yolks separately beaten, may be poured into a buttered ' glass and cooked in boiling water. A glass should be tempered for the pur pose. A single flower upon the tray brightens its appearance. There are fitted trays with all conveniences, even down to a silver ring which will hold a glass. But they are expensive and one can use dainty china, bright silver and clean linen and make the tray attrac tive. In the absence of a serving table use a sewing table with folding legs. Turn them under at one end and the table can be slipped across the lap on the bed, the straight table legs serving as a prop on the floor. A light lap board propped upon two pillows la often used (or an Improvised table. Beef tea is one of the best stimu lants and the poorest of foods. Acids taken before meals and alkalis taken after meals lessen acidity. You should not take tea or coffee with any meal containing fresh meat Malt preparations are the best reme dies for dyspepsia caused by foods containing starch. In coiuDmg tho hair use a comb with blunt. *-:dely separated teeth. Never use one with sharp teeth. Much vinegar causes gastric catarrh, whereof comes indigestion, which In turn gives rise to redness of nose. Lettuce and onions promote sleep. Resting with the head to the north la essential for the repose of some peo ple. The most useful of all drugs for rickets is Iron, not lime. Lime Is use ful. but iron compels the system to as similate It. Mustard poultices should be made with cold water, if you wish them to be hot; for the heat of the mustard Is caused by an oil, and this oil Is formed in the mustard by the action of cold water and Is prevented from forming by hot water. Queer Greens. A dealer remarked that this is a sea son for using peculiar greens, display ing at the same time some beautiful satins In every imaginable tint from palest yellow-green to green-black. It Is really surprising what a great num ber of shades one can find In green, j While more properly a Bummer tint, because of lta cool, soothing appear ance, nevertheless the darker greens for street wear and the lighter shades ' for evening wear keep this color al ways in demand. Another popular shade is golden brown, with a deep hue to It. which goes well with rich trimmings made I up with some gold. NUMBERLESS USES FOR LACE Material la Turnad to Account for All ' Sorta of Garmanta and Ornaments. If yon hare any of the heavy Italian lace Chat has been so popular In recent years you can turn It to account In all sorts of odd ways this season. For instance, you can use small bits of It to make huge heads for hatplna. Sometimes these heads are made from button molds covered with colored satis and then with an outer layer of lace. Or you can use one of the cheap metallic hatpins of vivid tone as a foundation, gluing the lace "smoothly overit. If you have an old pair of blue or pink satin slippers that refuse further cleaning they can be covered with this heavy lace. Any shoemaker will do It for you. but a clever girl can manage it herself by cutting the lace the exact ' shape ot slipper, using paste and a fine needle and tewing silk. Any puckering can be concealed under buckles or fluf ; fy tulle rosettes. / I Medallions of lace can be set Into the Instep of silk stockings by any woman who can applique neatly and will be careful not to cut away the silk hosiery until the lace Is so firmly sewed that there Is no possibility of run stitches. i This combination of lace and foot gear was seen on a pair of high white satin shoes that were distinctly more | novel than beautiful. There was a flat border and a narrow motif on the in step. made of black lace, and black high heels and cut Jet buttons com pleted the unusual evening shoes. Lace covered mules and bedroom slippers are alEO In favor, while every woman who owns a handsome kimono does not feel It complete unless she also has a pair of Chinese slippers, richly embroidered and with the Inch high sole shorter than the body of the shoe. USEFUL LITTLE PEN-WIPER Piece of Dark-Colored Cloth and Rem nant of Ribbon Put Tosether with a Little Taste. A very practical little pen-wiper, that can be made in a few moments from any strip of dark-colored cloth and a remnant of prettily colored rib bon is the subject of the accompanying sketch. About three and a half inches in length is a good size to make it In. and It merely consists of a strip of cloth of that width cut into points at either side, am. then rolled up tightly and tied together with ribbons in the man ner shown. The ribbon should be tied round the roll of cloth about three quarters of an Inch from either side. The ends of the twisted piece of rib bon that forms the handle are tacked on just underneath the two smart little bows, and this completes the pen wiper. The pens are. of course, cleaned by being Inserted at either end. These pen-wipers take so little time to make, that they are well worth remembering at those times when articles are being prepared for a bazar. If a roll of black ! cloth Is used, and it Is. perhaps, the best color to choose, as It does not show the Ink stains, a covering of some prettily colored piece of silk may easily be added, and this will entail a little more work but make a much smarter article. GATHERING ODDS AND ENDS Now Is Good Time to Pick Up Small Pieces of Material to Trim the Summer Gown. Now Is the Ideal time to pick up odds and ends of embroidered material and short lengths of Insertion and edg ing to trim the summer gown. Plain white is a safe venture, and much may be done later to bring It 1 into harmony with the garment ma terial if It be of a delicate color. Besides the ordinary and well known embroidering cottons and silks, there are now heavy linen flosses for enriching the bare spaces which seem to have been left there to suggest a color scheme. It Is also possible to dam In a back ground upoL certain embroideries hav ing h decided pattern and an empty space side by side. For this work very fine floss Is chosen. The coarser embroideries demand the heaviest floss and make their ap peal on the score of effect only. To Prevent Rust on Clothes. Clothes that have been boiled In wa ter In which soap has been chipped often have rust spots appear on them after being rubbed. Tiny particles of the soap clinging to the clothes cause the rust spots by the chemical action of the bluing on them. Merely drop one large piece of soap into the boiler or washer, and you will have no farth er trouble. The Rolling Lapel. The long rolling lapel worn so much In the cloth coats Is carried oat In the fur coats, the collars and cuffs usually being of one of the long-haired furs, different from the body of the coat NEW TIME TABLE D7TCT SUNDAY A.
