PORTLAND by the sea, not the Port
land of Maine, nor yet the canning
queen of Oregon, but the Texas Port
land, on the guilt, bids high for capital
honors and may succeed. She offers
a $50 900 courthouse as a condition of
becoming the capital and county sea t
of San Patricio county. This is plucky
and pluck wins.

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.

Statistics prepared for the centennial
anniversary of the Patent Office prove
that inventive genius has no sex. It will
be encouraging to female wage workers
to learn that women inventors have made
a record IN the Patent Office of which
they may we'll be proud. Application
for patents of their own invention have
been made by over 5000 women since the
Patent Office was organized. These in
ventions, while covering wide field of
articles for wonen's use, include such
unexpected inventions as submarine tele.
scopes, processes for hardening copper
foot stoves, rcfrigcrators, and even loco
motive driving wheels. AS early us 1909
a patent was granted to Mary kics, of
Connecticut, for an improved method of
straw weaving with silk or thread. Many
patents were issued few years after to
women for improvements on corsets,
foot stoves, spinning wheels, mocassins
and ice cream freezers.
During the war great number of wo-
men inventors came forward with many
designs in canteens, military caps, am
balances, and all kinds of hospital ap-
pliances. Prior to the war the number
of women applicants for patents was
small. Only three patents to women

FASHIONS OF LOUIS XIV.

And what did they really wear in the
reign of the Louis of whom one hears
most, much as one hears of all the Louise
The fans were round and covered with
feathers; they were hung from the CIR
die; the gloves were long and button
less; the shoes had pointed toes and high
heels. Here is pretty floral dress pre-
served in an old picture; the skirt is
short and plain and has six festoons of
roses to circle it; the bodice is low and
pointed; the sleeves are silk above, mus
lin puffs from the elbows; the hair is
powdered and turned over cushion. A
wreath is laid about the top of it, and
from the wreath issue ostrich plumes.
There were hoops; there were lace
founces; there were ribbons, powder and
brocades; the embroideries were magnifi-
cent; the waists were long and pointed; {;
the bodices opened in front and were
laced across; long polonalse Jackets were
edged with ruches; many things, in fact,
were as many things are now.-MeU York

RECIPES.

Egg.Pop- p-Overs-Beat three eggs until
very light, add two cupfuis of sweet
milk, and pour over TWO cupfuls of -four,
stirring well. Have gem-pans very hot
and well creased, fill half full and bake
in very hot oven.
Lyonnaise Tripe-One pound Of tripe
boiled, one onion, one tablespoonful
butter, one cupful stewed tomatoes, pep
per and salt to taste. Brown the onion
in the butter, add the tripe cut into neat
pieces, add the seasoning. Brown light
ly, add the tomatoes, and when these
are hot serve.
Lemon Sauce-Boil two cupfuls of hot
water and one cupful of sugar five min
utes. Then stir in three spooufuls of
cornstarch, wet in cold water, and let
them boil ten minutes more. Add one
tablespoonful of butter and the grated
rind and juice of two lemons. It is then
ready for use.
. Turkey Dressing Croquettes-There is
SO much richness and lasting material
left over in the cold scraps from turkey
dinners that it may as well be utilized
for croquettes. Stir beaten egg into
the dressing, mold into oval shapes, dust
with dread crumbs and fry. Any morsel
of the fowl left over can be minced
finely and added, taking some of the
gravy or giblets to complete the rich
dish. The carcass of all fowls or game
pounded in mortar helps to make a
black gravy or souo.

GEMS FOR CoMPLExIoNs.

Awoman who has red face will not
wear emeralds, says the Contemporary Re
ciev, even if an arbitrary man milliner
sends her home a dress that emeralds
would embellish.
Awoman with poor complexion does
not improve it by pearls. These lovely
and innocuous ornaments really derive
their chief luster from a transparent
skin, as they depend largely on reflected
lights. The iridescent colors on pearls
attract notice to the whiteness of a white
ground, but on all ill-colored ground
they are decidedly vindictive.
A woman whose face, however beauti-
full, takes verdatres tints in the shadows,
should avoid rubies, especially pink ones,
and roseate topazes. A face may have
these greenish tins without damage to
beauty, remember. I am not selecting
all the most unfortunate women 7 can
think of to threaten and warn.
Every face has great deal Of green in
it, as portrait-painter will tell you.
Giotto (who painted the loveliest angels
conceivablc) and all his pupils made the
shadows on girls faces starrlingly green,
and the eyes green too sometimes, and
yet we receive the impression of exquis-
ite delicacy and brilliancy. Still red is
the complementary of green, and if the
dress should be pink, and no help for it,
the jewels nearer the face ought to coun-
teract it.

Florida Phosphate Beds.

"The phosphate beds of Florida have
since their discovery about one year ago
given employment to thirty-two millions
of capital. And" continued Commis-
sioner R. Turnbull, a guest of the Palmer
House from that State, "many more
millions will be invested there before the
close of the present year. Moreover,
good, substantial returns are being had
on the money. Phosphate mining is not
like gold and silver mining-you don't
have to spend Thousands Of dollars be-
fore you learn where there is anything in
the ground worth digging for. The
phosphate lies in fiat beds, the top of
which is only few feet under ground,
and one man can in short time figure
pretty close to the actual amount of phos-
phate obtainable from any particular plot
of ground. So that an investor can put
in his money and be sure OF getting it
and something beside back. That is the
kind of State Florida Chicago

BUSINESS woMAN's COSTUME.

The question of "business woman's
costume" strikes most women, business
or otherwise, as absurd. To begin with,
it is doubtful if more than very few
business women would care to adopt a
distinctive attire of any sort beyond that
which denotes their sex. To go about
uniformed proclaiming her occupation
would be highly distasteful to almost
every woman. On the other hand, how
ever the modified suggestion that every
feminine wardrobe should contain q
walking gown or costume made on
healthful lines and calculated to stand
incessant wear meets with favor. Let Its
general principles perhaps be the same
and trust to each wearer to give it the
needed touch of individuality. And the
matter hardly seems to need the con-
sideration of national council.
The writer recently watched young
woman employed as ticket seller in an
elevated station in Brooklyn finish her
preparations to 60 on duty. A pair of
stout walking boots stood just inside the
door OF her tiny compartment, ano as
she mounted the stool to begin work the
observer could see that lighter and worm
easy shoes were on the girls feet. She
had put on black cambria apron to pro-
tect her dress and had drawn over one
arm black cambria half-sleeve for the
same purpose. An old glove, with fingers
cut off, was fitted on the hand which
had to slide out the tickets and change,
because, as she was good enough to ex-
plain, the friction wore her skin. Her
hair was done low and comfortably, and
little cloth cap kept draughts from her
head, while q cardigan jacket performed
similar office for chest and back. That
business woman, the observer felt, had
gagged her needs pretty accurately

transactions at the Stamp Exchange.

In Paris there is a stamp exchange
where transactions are carried on from 2
to 2 o'clock of every Thursday and Sun
day. 1t is the Champs Elysees, under
the chestnut trees at the corner of the
Avenue Marigny and the Avenue Gabri-
el, just behind the Guignols and in front
of an aristocratic mansion inhabited by
one of the Rothschilds. By 8 o'clock
the exchange is in full 60, and all ages
and all conditions of society are repre-
sented. There is very little trading car
ried on at this petite bourse, most of the
transactions being buying and selling.
Men and boys, wearing sachels slung by
a strap over their shoulder, and in which
postage stamps are piled like CONS in
the scrips of cashiers, shout what they
have to sell, their albums are looked
through, philatelistic papers read, dis
cussions held and bartering taxes place
amid lively vociferations. ~ have sixty
blue Kopecks, "Who wants any 1872

Turks, paper peelings-" "Who'll take

1S49 presidents. 81 have an emperor
with laurel and an emperor without
laurel" "How much for Columbians!"
"Who wants Cape of Good Hopes9"
"Here are 1900 for twenty-five cent
times" fellow cries. "Show them, I"
others shout, and then it is his turn to
detail the merchandise. Packets Of or
dinary stamps are usually sold, without
being opened, but sometimes the buyer
unseals the envelope, then cries: "Thief!
blackguard! old cheat!" and the crowd
laughs heartily. Chicago Herald.

LONG JACKETS ARE PROPER now.

A Partisan fashion correspondent says
short jackets are set aside as quite out of
date, and every woman who aims at
being la mode dons long ones. 1t is q
matter of minor consequence whether
they suit the wearer or not. Nothing
less than three-quarters length is the
mode save the short, full cavalier capes.
These are in light tweed in bright red,
ruby, fawn, gray and black, and are
made with braided yokes and collars and
are often trimmed with fringe about the
bottom. Even rough travelling cloaks
ore no. cut the fashionable length, which
reaches little below the knees. Some
of the light fawn and gray cloth cloaks
have facetcd jet waters sewed on around
the edge in several rows at regular dis
tances and also in allover designs on the
yoke and Chicago Herald.

A BAT FOR BRUNETTEs.

To suit the rich coloring of brunette
is fashioned French hat of coarse yel-
low straw lined with Chantilly, and q
thin double roll of orange velvet. From
heavier roll of the velvet that encircleS
the crown falls a frill of fine Chantilly
looped in places with nasturtiums in
rich red and orange. At the back,
where the flowers fall on the hair, the
hat is heightened by lace which comes
in strings to the front. A toque is in
bronze net thickly sprinkled with gold
beads. There is no crown only drapery
of net coming round each side to the
front, where it is raised in fan pleat-
ing. AS border is band of gilt and
bronze sequins, and the back is cluster
of dark-green velvet leaves.-Meo York

A UNIQUE ORNAMENT.

A clever woman who found herself
with large, old-fashioned watch as an
heirloom preserved the relic and evolved
a unique ornament for the mantelpiece.
She had it mounted as miniature grand
fathers clock, made in every way like
one of the tall ones seen in inches on the
staircase or in the hall of most country
houses. 1t was arranged so that it could
be slipped in and out tor winding. Once
in its place again, however, its white
face gave no evidence that watch works,
not clock works, were behind it. This
may be an idea for somebody else.-Neao
York Times.
