Go u. Il. Folsom.

Tho death of Col. j. B. Folsom,
the grandfather of the bridc-elect of
the President of the United Stated,
owing to this circumstance, is invested
with a peculiar public interest. His
granddaughter was on the ocean on
her homeward voyage when this be-
reavement occurred, and did not reach
her destination until May 9th, five
days after Col. Folsom's burial. The
funeral took place at Folsomdale,
from the family mansion and was the
largest ever held in that neighbour
hood.
The mourners were Mrs. Frank Fol-
som and her four children (Ben, Frank,
Emma, and Alice Miss Mamie A. Mar
tin, DIR. w. N. Martin and wife, and
others more distantly related. The
Rev. Alexander Dick of Buffalo, for
merly pastor of the Free Baptist Church
at Colesville, two miles from Folsom
dale, officiated, as he did when, in 49,
70, the Colonel's wife, daughter, and
son Frank. died all within three weeks.
DIR. Dick selected as his text "And
behold this day l 20 the way of
all earth. Joshua %, 18th verse.
Joshua's greatness and goodness were
talked about, and the final scene in his
life, when he died in ripe old ege after
doing his full duty, was compared with
Col. Folsom's death. The preacher
said:
How many changes have occurred in
the last few years in the household of
our dear friend! Thirteen years ago
last January we were assembled in this
house on such an occasion as this.
First the mother died, then the son,
and afterward the adopted daughter.
They all went the way of the earth.
Two years later Oscar Folsom, the
remaining son. also died. Thus be-
reaved, Col. Folsom took little further
interest in the activity of business life,
and spent the time in waiting and pre-
pairing for his own summons to etern :
ty. He had lost an excellent Christian
wife, loving daughter, and two duti-
full sons. Mrs. Folsom was 81 years
old when she died, and Frank was 40.
Sister Folsom was devout woman,
with rare virtues. The deceased was

Tho Cup That Cheers.

Whether it is because of the present
maaia for everything English or not.
it is hard to say. but without doubt
the fashionable drink of the day here,
as in England. is tea. 1t is said to be
a more heathful drink than coffee,
which with Americans, has heretofore
had the preference, as it is more re.
freshing, less heating, and very re-
storative, and. too, has the advantage
of being so much more easily made.
1t is unquestionably the drink for
brainworkers, and women who are
exhaus ted with the laborious duties of
social life find it delightful stimulus,
wherehas coffee has the effect of max

now served in the drawing room dur

RainbOW.Party.


The latest society novelty is what is
Is known as rainbow party. Already
it has assumed the proportions of an
epidemic, although it made its first
appearance generally only a few
weeks ago. All the young ladies in
attendance wear neat little aprons of
such design and color as the taste of
the wearer may suggest. The bottoms
are all carefully left unhemmed.
Every young lady has a number
and duplicate numbers are kept
in box. which is generally placed
in the n eighborhood of the gentlemen's
cloak-room in charge of the
young ladies. The gentlemen buy
tickets which entitle them to draw
from the box. The purchaser having
drawn number at once sets out to
find the young lady wearing the dupli-
cate number on her apron. The tickets
are generally one dollar each but at
the south side party given few nights
ago they brought five dollars each.
After all the young men have found
their aprons. or rather their young Ia
dies wearing the proper aprons,
the master of ceremonies an
nounces the conditions. The young
men are to hem the aprons and the
one doing the neatest, quickest,
and most careful piece of work is to re-
ceive prize. The young ladies supply
their escorts with needle and thread
and at the call of time the fun begins
with the efforts of the contestants to
thread the needles. Young ladies are
strictly forbidden to thread the
needles for their escorts, and vio-
lation of the rule compels the recipient
of tho favor to forfeit all claims on
the prize.
After the needles are threaded and
the young men are at work the scene
is none the less inspiring. At a west
side party recently the young man who
was most handy with needle and thread
carried home an elegant French man
tel clock.
The aprons are raffled off after the
prizes are awarded and when Jealous
young man attempts, as is often the
case, to outbid rival for the possess
ion OF pretty girls apron, the prices
brought by the innocent little aprons
arc amazingly large. At one rainbow
party sales amounted to $75.

A Salad.

An excellent salad is made of led
cabbage and celeriac (knub celery.)
Boil the celery until done in salt and
water; it must not be too soft. Peel it
and cut it in small pieces, being careful
to reject any woody portions. While
still warm mix with oil, vinegar and
salt and pepper to taste. Take firm
head of red cabbage, and, after remov-
ing the outer leaves quarter it, wash it
we'll and let it drain; cut Out the stalks
and all the ribs and shred the rest very
fine; mix with oil, vinegar and salt to
taste. Put the celery in the center of
the salad dish and form a ring of the
fnely-shred cabbage about it. Celery
leaves or fine endive may be used to
garnish the center.

Rowling a Good Old Fashion.

The propriety and good taste of
doing away with abbreviated names
among women is fast growing into
favor and the good old fashion of
giving the full name is regarded as
the correct and digniticd thing. Mollie

are again Mary, Martha, Matilda,
and Margarct-stately, names all of

their diminutivcs are silly and mean

household, and to sign themselves
always in addressing those outside

The ceremonies of laying the cor
ner stone were perhaps the most inn
posing of any that have ever transpired
within the limits of the state, being at
tended by Gov. Hubbard and his staff,
state officials, Mayor Rice of St. Paul
and officials of that municipality and
prominent citizens from all sections of
the state and abroad. The procession,
composed IF the state military and va
rious Minneapolis societies, was a roy
al one, pride and honor to
the occasion. The Grafton pro-

the stock being owned by some $500
citizens of Minneapolis.
The Exposition will be open for six

No charge is made for space or power
and the price of admission is 25 cents,

divided into eight departments and 1O3

Doing up Shirts.

For one bosom, take a large tea
spoonful of good starch and dissolve it
in cold water enough to wet the bosom
thoroughly (use cold starch always;
it would probably take a cupful of
water. When it is we'll dissolved
starch the bosom, being careful to get
it we'll wet through; having ready a
bowl of clear water nearly boiling, and
dip the bosom into it, wiring it out
quickly and shake, pull the bosom into
shape and fold it up smooth and put
by for half an hour or about that, iron
with moderately hot iron. and rub
hard: that is what gives the gloss.
There is no need of using the cloth over
the bosom if you only put it by for a
little while. 1 think one reason so
many have trouble in doing up shirts
nicely is because they use too hot
irons.

Bed Clothing.

In regard to bedclothing, of course,
nothing should be used save what can
be, when needed, thoroughly cleansed.
This will restrict us happily to blan-
kets. counterpancs. and the old fash
Toned bed quilt. A comforter may be
at hand for the exigency of zero tenn
perature, to be thrown upon the outside
of the bed, but never placed beneath
the other coverings. Comforters in con-
slant use, should be avoided and be
carefully protected at the top by neat
covering of some fadcless material. All
who have used comforters know that
they are easily soilcd where they come
into contact with the breath Of the
sleeper. Blankets, which should form
the staple of our winter bedding, should
be chan yed at least once during the
colder months, that is, the pair next
the upper sheet. Blankets may be kept
pure and sweet by being taken to the
open door weekly, thoroughly shaken,
and occasionally, on a fine, sunny
breezy day. carefully pinned to the
clothes line and allowed the regener-
ating effect of sun and wind.
Pillows and holsters, like the mat
tress, should DO carefully protected by
an extra casing of heavy cotton cloth.
Every housewife Of years knows that
her pillow ticks have become yellow
and time-staincd, so that she feels a
delicacy in exposing them to public
view, even for much needed airing
and summing. The old fashioned night
cap has, luckily for the head, gone into
disusc, but not so luckily for the clean
illness of the pillow Case anal tick. A
second covering, to be removed and
washed when necessary, would furnish
the protection, and also prevent the
escape. of the much dreaded down of
the sleeping room where feather pill
lows are used. Pillows are portable,
and protected from absorption by three
firm coverings. and daily subjected to
the di>i.f*ctinS agencies of air and
sunshine may be kept healthy and
pure, inviting and insuring sweetcr
and sounder slumber-a pillow indeed
of repose for the weary head.

For Parents

Keep near to your children. DO not
let them grow away from you. Keep
them close in your confidence and
affection, so they will contide in and
not be afraid of you. l know lad
who takes pleasure in giving his
mother an account of his doings dur
ing the day, whether they are pleasant
or otherwise. She laughs with him if
they are funny, and gently chides him
where he is wrong, but in a way that
does not make him afraid of her. He
will not relate single instance to his
father, because before the story is halt
through he will begin to scold him for
doing so and so. 1t is plainly seen
which can have the most influence with
him.-Helena.
Give your commands in the form of
requests whenever it is possible. When
a commanding tone seems to be neces-
sary. speak without betraying any ex-
element, in low voice, but decidedly,
and use as few words as possible. 1t
seems to me that every father and
mother can spare at least fifteen minu-
ties of each day to devote to the chill
dren. You, perhaps, think this too
short time in which to do any good.
1t is, indeed. too short, I think myself,
but many parents take no time for this
duty. and is not this brief period better
than nothing.-Mrs. George Mitchell.
