H,v to sbon for One,s wife

To do lady's shopping is one of the
most difficult and disagreeable tasks
which ever falls to the lot of man. A
man, unless he be ''man milliner," is
no judge of the articles he is usually
asked to buy, and he even has no intelli-
gent opinion about them. Nor does he
know what they should cost. There is
no chance whatever that he will make
bargain. So as to reduce the chance of
mistakes to minimum a man when
shopping for his wife should get from
her before he starts out the minutest di-
rections as to each article and write
these directions in his notebook in full.
He should learn what each article ought
to cost and also inform himself wherein
and how far he was to use his own dis
cretion. With such directions, if man
will go to shop and confess his igno-
rance and exhibit his orders, he will be
taken charge of and provided with every
thing he desires. Some men are trou-
bled with an inclination to think that
they know it all. No better school of
discipline could be devised for such men
than to have to do a lady's shopping.
That will take all the conceit out of
them

PRINCESS THoM.

They are superior to Alaska Indians
in general, have rather pretty village
and some cattle, and the richest woman
in it is the Princess Thorn. She is a
regular female Rothschild, owning
about $4,000 worth of stuff, most
of which was acquired by her
own activity and shrewdness as a
trader. Some years ago she married
man named Thorn, considerably her
junior, but after awhile decided that
she preferred his younger brother, who
was the handsomest Indian in the settle
ment-a regular aboriginal Apollo. So
she divorced the older Tho1n and gave
him her sister, then married the young
er, whom she literally loaded with jew
elry and elegant hunting gear. But the
young squaws delighted to make her
jealous and the young husband suddenly
died. Soon after her sister died just as
suddenly, and then she remarked her
original Thorn. OF course there is stalk. a"
The Greek priests protested, but no Off
cial made inquiry; the princess has her
way, and so there is a society scandal as
well as a political situation.

HOW to Dress for a Rainy Day.

This is one woman's way: She has
discarded all sorts of rubber cloaks and
wears long woolen or waterproof cir
cular, with pointed hood and no arm Sits,
except in winter or very hard rain. She
has rainy day dress of good though not
very expensive woolen material, which is
not hurt by mud or rain. This comes
out with the falling of the barometer. A
little knack at lifting enables her to lift
it when going up or down wet steps, SO
that it does not get very muddy. OF
course there is dark petticoat under
meath it. After these garments are wet
and muddy they are hung to dry, brush
ed and, if necessary, pressed. Rubber
overshoes and CATERS protect the feet,
and an umbrella and hat, minus ostrich
feathers and velvet, both of which are
changed by rain, completes this weather
defying costume.

An Impression.

Before I saw her I had read Miss
Fields articles and had read or heard
much about her public lectures, so that
before meeting her I had come to regard
her as one Of the strongminded women
with highly cultivated literary style.
But as she sat that evening in a large
easy chair with her arms calmly folded,
listening to much irrelevant matter,
while large, long laugh lurked in her
eager eyes, and the compressed lips
smothered some strong retort, I saw
that she possessed a virtue not common
to the so called strongminded- patience.
She is an heroic listener, but her replies
contain more Of the hammer than the
anvil.
Though a cosmopolitan from reason
and experience, she ''holds that man the
best cosmopolite who loves his native
country BEST" and the picturesque
English" which she blends with more
classical phrases, betrays the fact that
upon emergencies she regards American
slang as the most forcible form of lido
matte English. L.

Third in the list of famous war horses
of recent times was Traveller, the favor
ite mount of General r. E. Lee, but he
died prematurely, surviving his master
but a few days. General Lee bought
him in West Virginiasin 1851, when he
was years old, and rode him through
all the battles of 1862 and in the Wilder
ness, at Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor,
and in the last campaign. At Apo
mattox he was a party to the surrender,
and then went home with his master, ac-
cording to the generous terms extended
by Grant. Traveller was a dark iron
gray, sixteen hands high, docile, endur-
ing and calm as his master under fire.
Six years after the war he became almost
milk white from age, and while yet
vigorous trod on a nail, which penetrat-
ed his hoof, causing lockjaw and death.

THE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
1t Recalls an Historical Event of Con
siderable Interest.

ISeeaIIS an hlSGOrlcdA EAV0AC OL OOh-
siderable Interest.
The recent eclipse of the moon was
one of unusual interest, not only be-
cause it afforded astronomers extraor-
binary opportunities, but because of
its historical importance. Like other
eclipses, its recurrence can now be cal
culated both for the future and the past
with absolute certainty, and in the past
1T has often been important, the most
notable case being that of which Column
bus made use.
In the year 1904 he was driven upon
the island of Jamaica, where he and his
crew were in great distress for provi-
sions, the natives being unfriendly.
Knowing what was at hand, Columbus
told the Indians that the gods were
angry with them, and that in token of it
the moon would on a certain night hide
her face and show the color of blood.
The Indians laughed at him, but on the
night of March the eclipse came, and
thereafter all that the Indians had was
his to command. It is interesting to
know that this is the same moon and
was recurrence of the same eclipse.

How to Put Away Butter.

Mix well together one ounce each Of
saltpeter and white sugar and two ounces
of best salt, all in fine powder; give one
ounce of this mixture to each pound of
butter and thoroughly work them to-
gether. The butter thus prepared is
then to be tightly pressed into clean,
glazed earthenware vessels so as to have
no vacant spaces. Butter thus put up
acquires its finest flavor three weeks
later and preserves it for long time.
Another method is to take fresh butter
eighteen pounds, fine salt one pound,
saltpeter one and a quarter ounces and
honey or fine brown sugar two ounces.
Work and press as above. Some fill
the vessels only to within one-half OF
three-quarter inch of the top and fill
with coarse salt.

capped the dreadful Custer massacre of
June, 1876. Evidently the Indians had
stripped and left him to die, for he was
found by Reno's men standing in the
water and gazing mournfully over the
field of slain.
Every man and every other horse was
killed, and as the horses fell the men
made breastworks of them. Captain
Keogh, Comanche's rider, was among
the slain. An order was issued that the
badly wounded horse should be shot to
put him out of his misery, but the sol
diers grieved so deeply that the farriers
exhaust cd their skill and Comanche was
saved. Thereafter no man ever backed
him. He lived at Fort Riley, Kan, in
sthorse heaven" if such there be, fed
with the choicest food, groomed with
loving care, patted and petted and
solaced with Jumps of sugar and the
sweetest of apples. He was part OF the
original mount of the Seventh Cavalry
in 1866, had carried Captain Keogh and
others through many an Indian fight
and was literally striped and splotched
with wounds.

EMMA CoNNoRS AND THE SCHOOL HOUSE.
Connors is a teacher, and has for some
months been in charge of a school in
Clark township, Montgomery county.
Recently she secured the erection of a
flagstaff at the school house from which
the stars and stripes were displayed.
The ensuing Saturday the pole was cut
down and the flag stolen. Miss Connors
stated the case to the Charlottesville
G. A. R. post, and the members of that
order, in conjunction with the Sons of
Veterans and Patriotic Sons of America,
soon saw that the damage was repaired.
The teacher also received a gift of a
small repeating rifle, with which she kept
watch over ''old glory" while attending
to her school duties.
But the climax came at the Craw-
fordsville meeting already referred
to when Miss Connors was presented
with magnificent silk banner. Speeches
were made by General Manson, Hon. M.
D. White and others which were full of
patriotism. denunciation of the flag
stealers and praise of the maiden they
had met to honor. At the schoolhouse in
Clark township the 'sstar spangled ban

How Iron Structures Become Unsafe.

By examining worn bar or car wheel
with an ordinary microscope it will be
seen that the worn surface is coming off
in thin fakes or scales. By applying a
microscope Of very high power, however,
it will be seen that iron is composed Of a
vast number of minute flakes held to-
gether by a peculiar cement, just as very
flat and long bricks might be in wall
by mortar. Long continued jarring
breaks up this cement to a fine powder
with no adhesiveness, and then the flakes
of iron fall apart just as a brick wall
would fall if the mortar should turn
to dry sand. But by some law not well
understood continuous motion in the
same direction destroys the cement many
times faster than irregular motions.
Thus a regiment of soldiers keeping step
weaken an iron bridge more than so
many wild horses.

he Makes Much Money and Gets Mar
ried and Divorced at Will.
Chief An-na-hootz is dead James Jack
son won't marry the widow so as to be
chief, and Emaline Baker, the Princess
Thorn, has raised ruction at Yakutat.
Nothing in all this to startle the world,
but to the Sitka Indians it is just as i'm
portant as revolution in France would
be to Frenchmen, for their tribal gov
ernment has gone to sticks and they are
plunged into political anarchy.
An-na-hootz was eighty-two years old
and living with his thirteenth wife when
he died. He was convert to the Greek
church, firm friend of the whites and
the first of his race to take medicine and
other precautions as old age came on.
The rule among the Sitkas has been that
when man or woman grew old and inca
pable of great activity and endurance,
he or she lay down and waited for death,
dying easily of inanition as rule. So
it was rare to find a Sitka over sixty.
The rule of succession is for the chiefs
oldest nephew to succeed him, but he
must marry the chiefs widow. Now, the
widow is seventy years old and as unhand-
some as aged squaws generally, while
the nephew jackson is, as his name i'm
plies, converted Indian, besides being
young, handsome and possessed of a
pretty wife. So he won't take the wild
ow, and there is no king over the Sitkas.

The explanation of an eclipse is one of
the simplest problems in astronomy.
AS the sun is much larger than the
earth it follows that the shadow of the
earth runs out in a long point. Now, if
the moon moved around the earth in an
orbit on the same plane as that in which
the earth moves around the sun, there
would be an eclipse>of the moon every
time it passed through the earth's
shadow, but as the two orbits form a
slight angle it is only at intervals that
the shadow strikes the moon. This
gives astronomers their opportunity to
get exact measurements and other i'm
portant facts.

How to Make Honey.

Take of soft water six pounds, pure
honey three pounds, white sugar twenty
pounds, cream of tartar eighty grains
and essence of roses twenty-four drops;
mix in brass kettle and boil five min
utes, taking special care not to let it get
smoked. It is better to have charcoal
fire or place the kettle on hot Goals. AS
soon as the kettle is taken off add the
whites of two eggs well beaten, stirring
thoroughly. Two more pounds of pure
honey added at that time will increase
the honey flavor. A slight decoction of
slippery elm is sometimes added while
cooling, but in hot weather it is liable
to foam and rise to the surface.

The Cause of rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider, called Tactic acid, is believed by ply
sicians to be the cause of rheumatism. Ac-
cumulating in the blood, it attacks the
fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes
agonizing pains. What is needed is rem
edy to neutralize the acid, and to so invigo-
rate the kidneys and liver that all waste
will be carried off. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
heartily recommended by many whom it has
cured of rheumatism. 1t possesses just
the desired qualities, and so thoroughly
purifies the blood as to prevent occurrence
of rheumatic attacks. We suggest trial
of Hoods Sarsaparilla by all who suffer
rheumatism.

How to Make Cheap Paint for Outside

Farmers will find the following a good
receipt for making an excellent and cheap
paint for outdoor buildings, fences and
poultry houses: Take one-half bushel of
good unslacked lime; slack it with boil
ing water, keeping it covered during the
process, so that as little of the steam as
possible may escape. Strain the liquid
through sieve and add to it a peck of
salt dissolved in warm water and three
pounds of ground rice boiled to thin
paste. Stir in boiling hot one-half pound
of Spanish whiting, one pound Of white
glue and five gallons of hot water. Let
the mixture stand a few days, covered
from dust, and apply hot with white
wash brush If another color than white
be desired, Spanish brown, yellow ocher
or other colors may be added with the
exception of green. This is a good paint
for all outdoor woodwork, brick or
stone.
