AN exchange tells us of handsome
portierre. The material is of blue denim
two widths are used. The upper ends
are thrown over the pole and hang; a
half-yardudeep edging of some kind of
trimming--anything that is pretty. Or
a band of some kind of painting is used.

WE CLEAN from an exchange, the idea
of butterfly apron. Muslin, dotted, is
the material used. A certain number
of dashes made into butterflies with,
black silk thread, the wings outlined in
yellow, is the hint.

In prize article of one OF our exchan-
ges is given some hints on clothes wash
ing. A labor-saving method, although
old is new to many, is given as a help
to some beginners. In the morning
place the boiler on the stove, fill with
soft water, stir in a pint of good soft
soap and a tablespoonful of kerosene
oil put in the clothes, heat slowly and
boil, stirring frequently; remove clothes
from the boiler and rinse through two
waters, the second having had some
bluing added. One who has never tried
this will be surprised how clean the
clothes are.

BAKING FIsH,-Many people are fond
of baked fish. Cookery books give
plenty of recipes for stuffing these with
the necessary herbs, but perhaps few
cooks know that the fish should be
baked on its back. In this way all the Jul
ces remain in the fish, which, when it is
cooked in the ordinary way. drain out,
leaving the fish dry and flavorless.
There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a To-
cal disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
mOnials. Address.

PER sections of the city it would appear
that the owners and builders of these are
driven to their wits end to provide strik

The most fantastic, poetical, histor-
ical, geographical, photographed and
even musical and scientific names are

to fiat hunting that there is nothing in q

markable woman and inherited much Of
the vivacity Of her father. When she
and her husband were at Gibraltar dur
ing the peninsular war, the latter was
known to be particular about his shaw.

governor of Algeciras, he received the
sympathetic present of some dozens of
rainwater in bottles, which the butler
thinking it to be wine, duly took charge
of.

Women In Siam.

Like their fellows in Anam, the 81.
amese women enjoy great freedom and
influence. Being Of most mercantile
and managing temperament. they be-
come the self constituted stewardesses,

hundred going to market, each seated
alone in her own canoe, with her wares

EiS First Thought.

Fowling is now very little practiccd in
tho Shetland islands, although many
eggs are secured annually. Many thrill
ing stories OF fowling adventure are told
by the Shetlanders. A man who had un.
dert&kcn to climb certain steep cliff
was neither very experienced nor very
brave. although lie boasted of being
both. lie prslfaaAl inward, however,
briskly withou. looking Je,-.as2, rntil he
had got up about 100 rect, when lie
stopped to breathe. The pause was fatal
to his self possession, and he called out
in tones of terror, Men, men, am 60
ing-I am goirg." But he still held on
for little, and it was not till he had
shriekcd many times II am going" that
he did fall headlong.
His comrades, having thus been warn.
ed, moved the boat out of the way, SO
that the poor fellow came sheer down
into the deep water. Mighty was the
plunge, but at length he rose to the sur
face, when of course he was instantly
caught hold of and dragged into the
boat. After many gasps and much splut.
tering of sea water from his mouth, his
only remark was, "Eh, men, this is a sad
story have lost my snuffbox." -
