SHE WAS GOVERNOR.
AN IDAHO WOMAN GAINS HONOR
AND DISTINCTION.
him Margaret Reeve Fills the State Exec
utive Chair During the liovernor's Ab
sence and Transacts Considerable ltusl
ness of Great Importance.
The news that for two weeks a wo
man had filled the executive chair of
the State of Idaho—a thing unprece
dented in the country's history—cre
ated no end of lively comment through
out the Northwest.
This woman is Miss Margaret Reeve,
who for several years has held respon
sible places about Idaho’s State build
ing, having for the past four years
been private secretary to the Secretary
of State.
When Governor Steunenberg and
Secretary of State Lewis were called
to the northern part of the State on
business of the greatest importance
in connection with the State'3 vast
domain of white pine timber,ethey wer
at their wit’s end to know whom they
could safely leave in charge of State
matters during their absence, as At
torney-General McFarland had preced- i
ed them from the State.
It seemed for a time the trip would
have to be postponed, or that one of
them would have to remain behind,
when Secretary of State Lewis sug
gested to the Governor that Miss
Reeve be left in charge. The Gover
nor was almost stunned by the bold
plan, but Miss Reeve proved herself
mss Rears.
most efficient, being familiar with all
the routine work in the building, and
the Governor consented to the plan,
and Miss Reeve was left at the State
House clothed in full gubernatorial au
thority, which she exercised in a man
ner that not only gave satisfaction to ;
the Governor, but has won for her the
great distinction.
Miss Reeve may not have fully com
prehended the responsibilities thrust
upon her before the departure of the
Governor, but she took hold of official
business like an old hand.
Before the Governor and party had
been absent twenty-four hours matters
of great importance were brought to
Miss Reeve’s attention. The Governor
and Secretary of State had left a num
ber of important blanks to which they
had attached their signatures, and it
was left to Miss Reeve's discretion to
issue them or not—requisitions, appli
cations for extraditions from Govern
ors of other States, and many other
matters.
She sought legal advice, but the at
torney informed her she must depend
upon herself, as he did not “care to be
mixed up in the acts of any female
Governor." When the Governor re
turned he was astonished at the
amount of executive business his fair
substitute had turned out, and frankly
admitted the excellence of her judg
ment, although in one instance—the
case of an application for extradition,
he said he would not have issued it
until he had given the protestants a
hearing. He has announced his de
termination to defend with vigor every
act of “Governor Reeve,” including the
quoted.
Miss Reeve has taken a well-earned
vacation, and it will be prolonged as
long as she may desire, and at full i
pay. She has gone to tier old home
at Hillsboro, Ore. Miss Reeve is a
young woman of pleasant address and
brilliant attainments. She has writ
ten several sketches which have been
favorably passed on by some well
known literary critics, and which will
ere long be published.
Houae-tn-Houae Housekeeping.
Why should not a staff of servants
be organized to do, at any rate, the
rougher part of the domestic service
in, say, fifty or a hundred federated
households, just in the same way that
a single staff could be organized to
cook their meals, asks a correspond
ent of London Truth. Why should I
not pay so much a year, either to a
bonaflde co-operative society, or to a
private speculator, to have my beds
made, my floors scrubbed, my knives
and boots cleaned, and other similar
work performed at stated hours every
day and every week? The agency
which undertook to perform this ser
vice would organize its workers ju3t
as do other agencies which at present
undertake to keep our gardens in
order, to clean our boilers, sweep our
chimneys, or clean our bicycles; and
the labor difficulty which meets us in
domestic service as at present organ
ized would consequently be elimi
nated.
How to Bo Comfortable In Corset*.
The problem of how to be comfor
table in corsets seems to be solved in
the new model, which is straight in
front, short on the hips, more flexible,
and shaped to fit the figure without
remodelling it in another form.
Hats Match Gowns.
It is the proper thing this season to
have your hat match your gown, or the
coet you wear with It.

THE HOUSEWiKE.
Children's Reins.
Some strong, serviceable reins for
children may be made from bed-tick
ing, says Edith Wynne, in the House
hold. Purchase a yard of Arm qual
ity, and cut it into strips three in
ches wide. Stitch these firmly to
gether on the maihine to make the
desired length, then fold together and
stitch again firmly.
Work the white lines in fancy stitch
es with colored wools. One can put
elaborate work here, if desired, but
common cat-stitching will make it
pretty, especially if bright colored
wools are used. Fasten small bells
across the front.
Another pretty way to make them Is
to utilize all the odds and ends of
worsted and yarn by knitting them in
garter-stitch, an inch wide. The
brighter the wools, the better they
will please the children, and the oftener
the color is changed, the better effect j
will result. Inch lengths of the dif- j
ferent colors knit together will give !
a good effect.
These knit reins are also to be
finished with bells across the front
strap.
How to Keep Crackers.
Complaints are frequently heard
that crackers bought at grocery stores
are soggy and stale tasting, even when
comparatively fresh.
The fault is in the way they are
kept. Crackers demand a warm, dry
place, and they should not be stored
near oil, fish or other strong-smelling
goods. Great care should be exer
cised by grocers in this respect. The
cracker trade is one of the most im
portant features of a general grocery
business, and it should be taken care
of. Crackers should be purchased in
small quantities so that they will not
have time to get stale before being
sold. They should be kept, as stated,
in a warm, dry place, and customers
should be advised to place them in the
oven a few minutes before using. This
will restore their crispness, even
though they have become damp and
soggy.
J’retty Bib for a Baby.
A pretty bib for a baby is made of
an oblong square of linen not too fine,
embroidered with small scattered flow
ers of pink or blue, single blossoms,
worked in wash silks. The edge of the
linen is hemstitched with silk to match
the flowers, pink or blue, the hem
about half an inch wide or less. To
make the opening at the neck a cut is
made down the middle of one end of
the linen the proper length and the
edges of the opening also hemstitched
and turned back in little lapels which
have one or more of the tiny flowers
embroidered upon them. To prevent
the linen from tearing down at the
end of the opening it is worked across
with heavy buttonhole stitching with
the silk. Ribbons of the pink or blue
secured to the bib with a bow tie
around the neck and hold the bib in
place. This is a dainty and easily
made gift for somebody’s baby.
Nervous Children.
It is the height of cruelty to try to
“harden” nervous little ones by ex
posing them to thecircumstanceswhich
arouse their fears. Wise parents will
try to guard their children from
learning that there is such a thing as
fear.
Servants and nurses are responsible
largely for childrens’ fear of solitude
or darkness.
One lovely mother taught her boy to
welcome the dark, and to say at bed
time, “Nice dark,—pretty dark!”—but
she was a mother in a thousand.
Nurses should also strive to keep
children from disagreeable street
sights, as much as posible.
Nervous children remember painful
or ghastly sights much more persist
ently than grown-up people.
To Make an Egg Reveal Its Age.
To ascertain the freshness of an egg,
without breaking, hold it before a
strong light and look directly through
the shell. If the yolk appears round
and the white surrounding it clear,
the chances are that the egg is fresh.
Or you may drop it into water; if the
egg sinks quickly and remains at the
bottom it is in all probability fresh,
but if it stands on end it is doubtful,
and quite bad if it floats. The shell
of a fresh egg looks dull, while that of
a stale one is glossy.—Mrs. S. T.
Rorer.

Cleaning Woolens.
Do not put hot water or any kind of
water upon woolens that have had
liquid grease spilled upon th=m. F.rst
sprinkle buckwheat or lye flour o-,er
the place and let it absorb the grerse;
brush off all the flour, and apply then
fresh flour until all the grease is ab
sorbed.
tFuicy Baked Apple*,
If you want your baked apples to be
juicy bake them slowly and baste them
occasionally with the juice in the pan.
If the apples are not juicy put a few
tablespoonfuls of water and a half a
cup of sugar in the baking pan and
baste with this.
To Make the Ifair Soft.
It is not generally known that
washing the hair in rain water and
soft soap and rinsing in cold, ordinary
water, makes the hair soft and silky.
I*rlze Dairy Winner*.
A large number of women, many of
them of high position, were among the
exhibitors and won many of the prizes
at the recent London dairy show.
Home Upholstering.
Leatherette binding and embossed
tacks will be found a great boon by
those who do home upholstery.
When Lave Taper is Good Form.
The one thing for which lace paper
may be used and be considered good
form on a table is cheese.
Charitable women of Marinet, Wis., 1
took charge of the street cars one day ]
in the Interest of the poor and needy
and when they counted the proceed ,
at night they found that S3O in counte
felt money had been passed on them.
Caban Maid*.
Slender, graceful Cuban maids, with
smoothly plaited tresses, black as the
raven’s wing, large, lustrous, dreamy
black eyes, clear, pale complexion, re
sembling the waxen tint of the lily,
have their pretty heads filled with
dreams of love before they quit the
schoolroom. Their peculiar training,
restricted sphere, as well as early ma
turity—for in the tropics, a girl blooms
into womanhood in her thirteenth or
; fourteenth year—may be the reason
! why their thoughts turn to love before
they have discarded their dolls, braids,
and short dresses. The strict watch
maintained over the tender buds, the
[ cast-iron rules of etiquette, which pro
hibit them from too great an indul
gence in athletic spoi :s or outdoor life,
which a Northern maid enjoys, pre
cluding romantic ideas and rendering
her less susceptible to the tender pas
sion, which is fostered by a secluded
existence, may be the reason why Cu
ban girls look forward to matrimony
as a release from these irksome bonds.
The romantic manner in which court
ship is carried on tends to keep alive
their illusions, for lovers usually walk
up and down before their lady love’s
dwelling like a sentinel on duty, be
cause they are debarred from calling
on a maiden until formally engaged,
and then they can only see her in the
presence of the family or exchange
tender nothings under the Argus eyes
of a mamma, who keeps a strict watch
over her offspring.
Diphtheria Spread by Rabbit*.
Rabbits are spreading diphtheria
throughout the central part of lowa.
Such, at least, is the opinion of physi
cians who have investigated the cause
of the outbreak. Some time ago it was
noticed that hundreds of the bunnies
were dying of a disease which doc
tors pronounced almost identical with
diphtheria in the human family. Soon
after the epidemic commenced among
the rabbits diphtheria began to be no
ticed among the families in the locali
ty. The conclusion was reached that
the germs were conveyed by the ani
mals.
Pq Yon Agree to This ?
“The face of every woman is a his
tory or a prophecy,” said Mrs. Margar
ret Sangster, at the annual banquet of
the Emma Willard Association recent
ly. “I have no sympathy with women
who try to efface wrinkles. A woman
has no business to look younger than
she is. There is a history in every line
of her face.”
Diseases of the BlooC. anil Scrrn
No one need suffer with neuralgia. This
disease is quickly and permanently cured
by Browns’ Iron Hitters. Every disease of
the blood, nerves and stomach, chronic
o" otherwise, succumbs to lirowris’ Iron
Bitters. Known and used for nearly a
quarter of a century, it stands to-day fore
most among our most valued remedies.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
Water That Petrifies.
Extraordinary qualities are possessed
by the River Tito, in Spain. It hard
ens and petrifies the sand of its bed,
and if a stone falls in the stream and
alights upon another, in a few months
they unite and become one stone. Fish
cannot live in its waters.
More Diamond* in Pretoria.
A rich diamond mine has been dis
covered near Pretoria, the stones lying
in a volcanic pile, containing minerals
closely resembling those of the older
mines. A two-foot seam of coal is re
ported near the Bechuanaland line.
A Costly Rosary.
Leo XIII recently presented a most
beautiful and extravagant gift to the
Queen Regent of Spain. It Is a rosary,
tha chain made of the finest gold. The
beads are of alternate rubies, diamonds
and emeralds; the gift is priceless.
A Peerless Liniment.
As a pain destroyer and cure for
rheumatism, Salvation Oil is the peer
of all liniments. Mr. Win. 11. Brown,
proprietor of Striebiuger House, Cleve
land, 0., writes: “I suffered from
rheumatism for twelve years and my
last attack kept me in bed, unable to
walk. I used Salvation Oil and soon
was up and about. As a pain de
stroyer this liniment has no equal.”
Salvation Oil is sold everywhere for
23 cents. Try it and be convinced.
Australian Bumble Bee*.
Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bumble bees from
England and set them free in their
;lover fields. Before the arrival of the
bees clover did not flourish in Austra
lia, but after their coming the farm-
I srs had no more difficulty on that
j score. Mr. Darwin had shown that
; jumble bees were the only insects fond
jf clover nectar which possessed a
jrobogcU sufficiently long to reach
:he bottom of the long tube-like flow
-srs, and, at the same time, a body
aeavy enough to bend down the clover
head so that the pollen would fall on
;he insect’s back, and thus be carried
iff to fertilize other flowers of the same
species. The bumble-bees sent to Aus
ralia cost the farmers there about half
i dollar apiece, but they proved to be
worth the price.

An Imperial Caprice.
The Empress Anna of Russia, in the
last year of her reign, carried out one
of the most "mighty and magnificent”
caprices that ever entered into the head
of even a supreme monarch.
In 1739 one of her nobles, Prince Go
litzin, offended her, and she varied the
usual programme, did not send him to
Siberia, but instead made him court
page and buffoon. He was a widower;
the empress commanded him to marry
again. The prince carried out her in
structions in the spirit of his new pro
fession and selected a girl of low de
gree.
Her majesty took on herself all the
wedding arrangements; the winter of
1739-40 was extraordinarily severe; she
ordered a house built entirely of ice;
it consisted of two rooms, and all the
furniture, even to the bedstead, was of
ice also. In front of the house were
placed four small cannon and two mor
tars and these were of ice; they were
fired, too, several times without burst
ing.
When the wedding day came there
was a procession of 300 persons, mostly
peasants, from every part of Russia.
The empress had commanded them to
be sent to her by provincial governors;
each person wore the costume of his or
her province and some were drawn in
sledges by reindeer, some by dogs,
some by goats and some by oxen.
The bride and groom rode in the
midst in a great iron cage placed on
the back of an _ ephant. After march
ing through the principal streets of St.
Petersburg tfcey went to a building we
hear of as the duke of Courland’s rid
ing house, and there supper was serv
ed in many different fashions, for each
‘ guest supped as he would have done at
i home, and the customs in different
I parts of Russia then differed greatly—
more even than they do now. A ball
iollowed and the dancing was as
/cried as the cookery.
After the ball the unfortunate bridal
jair were escorted to the ice house,
here they had to spend the night, for
;uaids were placed before the door to
ee that they didn’t get out.

4n African Poison Story,
Charles M. Stern, of Chicago, who
has just returned after a journey
through northeast Africa, told of a
curious meteoroligieal phenomenon
which he observed in a district called
Gwallah. “The vegetation in that re
gion is very luxuriant,” said he, “and
the plant life must give off an unusu
[ ally large quantity of carbonic acid
1 gas. At least that was the conclusion
i I reached after seeing three natives
die and four or five dogs.
“The Moment the animals put their
noses close to the ground they would
■ fall over and gasp, and die in about five
1 minutes. The natives who died slept
j jn the ground instead of in hammocks,
as others did. I saw hundreds of dead
birds. My theory is that a stratum of
the deadly gas covered the ground for
.1 depth of three or four inches, and
any living thing breathing in that area
i would be asphyxiated.
. “I could not understand, howpv@ r i
1 tow the gas was not distributed in ft
1 hinner layer, and what kept it in one
date for a whole day. Nothing like it
tat ever been known there before, The
le. hs of the men and the dogs all oc
ui ad within twenty-four hours. Then
he ;as, if it was really gas, seemed to
iissipate. It was a very strange oc
•urrence and I might have been in
luced to make a more exhaustive in
vestigation if my presence had not ex
cited distrust. I got away as quickly
is possible, rather than be accused of
jeing the cause of the sudden deaths,
the natives are superstitious and at
.ribute most of their misfortunes to
witchcraft, so 1 thought it the part of
wisdom to get away.”

Another, made of satin-striped moire

caught in at the front by a hoop of

joined together by a strip of black
insertion about one inch and a half
wide. A ruffle of black chiffon about
three inches deep forms a bias finish
to the end of the sash and is duplicated
midway between the waist and the
end.
A most effective sash is of black sat
