With the growing fondness for choice
perfumes it is not uncommon for women
to try to procure original recipes, which
shall result in quite a new variety. In
this way experiments are continually
being made. The present English fancy
is to make perfumes in sticks, while
Frenchwomen are said to indulge in the
folly of injecting perfumes into the
blood. The American prefers the dainty
odors derived from many sachets or the
reviving essence OF her vinaigrette.
When it comes to toilet matters, one can
gain many good recipes from ones own
circle of friends.
Those who are in the habit of using
Them daily in the bath find it much
more economical to manufacture for
themselves than to buy the dollar bot
ties. Florentine orris plays a large part
in many of these simple preparations.
To a little Peruvian balsam add one part
tincture benzoin, two parts diluted acetic
acid or good vinegar, five parts rose wa
ter and eight parts alcohol. A small
part of rosemary or lavender may be also
added. This should be filtered before
bottling.
Instead of small sachets to be scat
tered mere ana there among one nner-
les, good, large sized receptacles, which
will hold many articles, are now pre-
ferred. | have just seen a nightgown
sachet, Of ample size, in which at least
three well folded garments may be kept.
1t is square and fiat, made of tufted
lavender silk and padded with soft
wool, with layers of lavender flowers be-
tween. 1t is lined also with Lavender
silk, and may be made more dainty by
the addition of lace rufles.
Handkerchief bags, made of plush
and lined with India, padded with wool
and perfume, are made large enough to
hold the complete supply, even when
very large. In this way fastidious wo-
men make sure of having all their be-
~longings well scented with some dainty,
understandable odor. -Brooklyn Eagle.

Partisan furriers are almost always
intrusted with the manufacture of the
splendid fur garments hat become heir
looms in the greatest families of Eu-
rope. Ermine, besides being the IN
blem of royalty, is also that of purity
and stainlessness; but it is nevertheless
so delicate q fabric that no white fur
gets so easily soiled. Very few people
know how to clean white furs, and 1t
may therefore be of interest to New
York elegantes to learn the method rec
commended to mi a few years ago by the
famous st. Petersburg f%urrier, Paul Gu
baeus. The furs must first be washed
with tallow soap and lukewarm water,
and then rinsed with a weak solution of
crystals of soda, all the soapsuds being
removed from the fur with a. hard
brush. Should there be dark stains,
such as are made by carriage grease or
other fat substances, on the fur, it will
be necessary to rub them with benzine
a few hours before washing it.
1t sometimes happens that in spite OF
this treatment the furs retain a yellow
ish hue; this can, however, be removed
by bleaching them in the following
manner: While still damp the articles
must be immersed in very cold water in
which four pounds of sulphuric acid of
natron nave been diluted. After an
hours soaking four pounds of salic acid
are added TO the mixture, which must
be well stirred. While the furs are in
the fluid the vessel containing them
should be tightly covered 80 as to ex-
clude the action Of the air on the acids.
Lastly, the fur must be rinsed several
times with pure cold water.-Harper's

An intrepid young woman in New
York city is about to enter the perfum-
cry business. She intends starting in q
very modest way, using a hall bedroom
for a laboratory. One reason she gives
why a woman would be likely to be
more successful in the combinations of
odors in perfume making is hat her
sense of smell is unimpaired by tobacco.
And she alleges that men render them
selves incapable "for that fine discrimi-
nation which is essential to an expert in
this business. Exchange.

every five years, II they include tho
subjects of all books published in every
civilized country during the previous
five years. A comparison of the two
indexes issued in the past decade shows
hat while woman, as a subject of in
.~terest, as a problem to be solved, as o
possible outcome, was never of more
importance than during the past ten
years, the aspects of her case changed
materially in that time.
Works on the social position of women
increased in the last half of the decade,
as compared with the first, from 81 to
~; on education of women, from IS to
rs; on employments of women, from 10
to 81; on women's clubs, from 8 to 10.
Dress reform, on the contrary, decreased
from II to 4 and works on dress, dress
making, needlework and embroidery
from rs to "a. These figures are more
significant from the fact that books on
tailoring in its higher aspects, as indi-
Gated by such a title as philosophical
Works of F. Pickle On Cutting Gentle
mems Dress" increased from 10 to %.
Perhaps the most significant decrease is
that from 116 TO 10 in works on marriage
and divorce.
If. as may be presumed, the writings
of any period follow in the wake, If they
do not keep pace with public opinion, it
appears that women are much more in
terested in questions of education and
employment and OF making for them
selves a place in the world than they are
in dress, fashion or any feminine van
tiles, and that marriage, alasl difficult as
it is to believe, is having less place in
their thoughts than of yore.-New York

a oomdn " run-doon,'
overworked, weak, and de-
bilitated-that's a woman that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made for. 1t gives her health and
strength. All woman's weaknesses
and all woman's ailments are cured
by it. It's a legitimate medicine
not a beverage an invigorating, re-
storative tonic and a soothing and
strengthening nervine, free from al
cohol and injurious drugs. It i'm
parts tone and vigor to the whole
system.
For all functional Irregularities,
periodical pains, organic displace-
ments and uterine diseases, it's a
positive remedy.
And a guaranteed one. If it
doesn't give satisfaction, in every
case, the money paid for it is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on these terms.
That's because nothing else is

dealer will offer something that's
"better." He means that it's bet

The general land Office has sent n
special agen. out TO Colorado to investi.
gate charges against Forestry Agent
Ensign. 1t would seem that Mr.. Ensign
In his intense eagerness to create forest
reserves and national parks has over
reached himself in the park business;
hence the charges against him. Ensign
was one of the original promoters Of
the White river park scheme and still
enthusiastically pursues his hobby; like
all enthusiasts on any subject, he has
no respects for the rights of others
If Mr.. Ensign had his way the upper
White river settlers would be dispos-
sessed of their laEds in very short order.
He is cranky on the subject Of forest
preservation, and, like all men who be-
come oyerzealous on any subject, is not
only impracticable but is intolerant
respecting the rights of others. In fact,
it is very clear that Mr.. Ensign cares
nothing for established rights provided
he can attain his ends-the establish
ment of natioual park in every county
on the Western Slope.

years was supposed to be incurable.

nounced it local disease, and pre-
scrbed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Science
