The Uses of Cottonseed.

The history of cottonseed is in itself
interesting, and marks an age of won
derful progress. For seventy years the
seed was despised as a nuisance and
burned and dumped as garbage. Then
it was discovered to be the very food
for which the soil was hungering and
reluctantly admitted to the rank of
utilities, and began to be treated with
respect.
Cottonseed was next found to be
nutritious food for beasts; and then this
formerly despised product was discov-
cred to hold thirty-five gallons of pure
oil to the ton, worth, in its crude state,
$14 a ton, which amounted to $4,000
900 Tor the whole crop of seed. The
refined oil is now worth 81 a gallon.
But a new wonder was yet to come.
Experience showed that the ton of cot
ton-seed was a better fertilizer and a
better stock food after it had been
robbed of its thirty-five gallons Of oil
than it was before; that the hulls of the
seeds made the best of fuel for feeding
the oil-mill engine;that the ashes of the
hulls the highest commercial value as
potash, and that the refuse of the
whole made the best and purest soap
stock, to carry to the toilet the per-
fumes of the best manufacturers.
The history of cotton-seed has, per-
haps, been paralleled by that of petro-
leum, which, in its crude state, ill-look-
ing and bad-smelling, has proved a
mine of wealth in the wonderful sub
stances that have been produced from

Stains From CoIored Hosiery.

More than half the fashionable wo-
men of New York have dyed feet, and
if there is anything in chemistry to re-
move the silk stocking stains I haven't
heard about it, says a New York cor
respondent of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
On the slab in the vapor baths it is not
unusual for the attendant to spend
about an hour with a siphon of hot
water, a fesh-brush and a cake of soap,
actually securing a wOman's feet.
from which the skin would be easier of
removal than the blotches of green.
black, blue, brown and red that stick
like the colors of an Easter EGG. In
the cooling-room it frequently happens
that these mottled phalanges form the
medium of conversation which brings
together congenialsouls whatever bene-
fit their mutual soles realize. What do
you use on your feet? is the leader as
a rule, and just as certain as there is
an answer it is everything: These
dyed-in-the-wool DANES and damsels
will sit in their sheets giving and get
ting whatever information they can as
to the best possible means of removing
the dye without the derm. As a rule
these ladies are rather proud of their
stains, which are regarded in some
what the same manner that men ex-
hibit their scars. A woman with a we'll
dyed foot, something with patches of
Paris green, both blue and nasturtium
tints, car always be set down as a
genuine silk stocking. In all proba-
bility she hasn't a pair of Isle threads
or balbriggans to her name. The foot
with black edges belongs to a rich
widow or an heireSs, mourning in
ebony hosiery, and to the heel and
ankle blushing with crimson, magenta
and scarlet may be attributed the deli
cate finery of a sybarite. Scrubbing is
of little avail. The feet have to be
soaked, and even then the dye seems
fixed, albeit they swell until it is al
most impossible for them to get a
regular boot on. | heard one lady of
luxury, whose pedals were painted like
artificial snakes, say that she didn't try
to scrub her feet clean. Her plan was
to dry them over a register until the
skin became parched and then brush
away the epidermis, and the dye went
with it. 1t is useless to demonstrate
with the hosiery dealers, for unless a
woman pays S. pair for opera lengths,
or is willing to wear silk tights for the
sake of having natural-looking feet, it
is impossible to get stockings that will
not crock.
"All | ask" said a demure little wo-
man, with the colors of squashed blue
berries, on her understandings, lis that
in case of an autopsy they won't take
off my stockings"

Under The Chin.

You may have heard travellers scott
at the practical Frenchman who stuffs
one corner of his napkin inside his
shirt-collar and spreads it fully yer
the front of his person from his chin
down to his knees, writes Theodore
Child in Hdrper's Bazaar. This is the
practice of the French people of the
middle and lower classes, who are thrift
ty and prudent, and who wish to eat at
their ease and not spot their clothes.
There is nothing ridiculous in this
practice. There is a reason, and an
excellent reason, for so spreading the
napkin, and if l were dining at home,
or alone at a restaurant or club, and
had on my spotless shirt and open
waistcoat and clawhammer coat, all
ready to 60 to the opera, | should GER
tainly spread my napkin owe my man.
ly and snowy bosom,just as the French
man does, and so l should dine at my
ease, ~serenely and without care, know
ing that | had thus insured the imma-
culateness of my linen. However, let
it be remembered that company man
ners in all countries require you simply
to spread your napkin loosely over
your knees, and to eat clearly and de-
Gently.

A Woman's Rebuke.

A few years ago a strange mistake
was made in New York society. Two
ladies of the same name gave an enter
tainment within a few doors of each
others houses. Many persons got into
the wrong house. The hostess who
gained that day the admiring comments
of all New York was the one who re-
ceived perfect strangers as if they were
her best friends and made them her
friends by that gracious reception. She
knew how awkward they would. feel
when they found out their mistake; she
did all she could to prevent their feel
ing awkwardly while with her.
The other lady, less well bred, said to
a person who had come into her house
under a mistake: L think you have
got into the wrong house,
Eyes, madam, l have" said he. 81
thought before l entered it that this
was a lady's house."
1t was a terrible revenge, but, under
the circumstances, an entirely justifi-
able one.-Ladies' Home Journal.

She Showed Him Stars.

For every shooting star he claimed a kiss.
She, seeming coy, at first demurred to this:
But he, persisting, would not be denied
Whenh he at length a flying meteor spied.
And so, as evening grew apace. their eyes
Oft scanned the gfittering ASPECT of the skies;
And when a darting star caught others sight
A sound of kissing broke upon the night.
And so it came to pass anon that she
Looked for a shooting star as much as he.
Nay, if by chance a star escaped his view,
She called his wandering fancy to it too.
When intervals seemed long between each
hug
She called him On a passing lightning-bug;
And, ever taxing her ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her to find
More shooting stars in three short, feeting
hours
Than would compose whole meteoric bowers,
But when she did her last pretext exhaust
And was about to yield her cause as lost,
She saw a switchman's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down to a steady thing.
