The pretty French silks are now rival
ed by the English fabrics called Brad
ford silks, which are especially service
able and desirable for summer street
costumes.
The new hats for children are large
flats of fancy straw and chip. They will
be trimmed with ribbons and flowers in n
simple, childish manner Where an elab-

Howers or white tips.
Both black satin and muscovite repped

now so fashionable. They are very full

uints to Young Housekeepers In tho Care
ofthe House.
In explaining her duties to new house
maid great stress, the New York Tribune
thinks, should be laid on systematic
care of all the closets in the house, and
particularly the bathrooms, slop closets,
etc. The bathrooms should be put in
order as soon as the rooms are finished,
the tub should be washed out daily with
soap and water and dried with soft
cloth. The porcelain lined tubs which
are taking the place of the old fashioned
timed ones are a great improvement, but
with careful washing the latter may be
made to look always very bright and
fresh.
Everything i'll the bathroom should be
rubbed, washed or busted daily. The
soap dish and everything that is on the
washstand must be washed and dried
The soap should be left in neat condi-
ton, and the soiled towels removed and
replaced by fresh ones. All the plumb
ing must be kept perfectly clean and
bright, and each part should have its ex-
elusive whisk broom and cloths careful
ly marked. 1t is almost always necessary
to caution new servant about allowing
matches or hair to be emptied into the
sinks, as negligence in this particular
often causes the greatest amount of
trouble and expense, and people are very
apt to throw small things of the kind
into their slop jars in their rooms.
Hot water should be poured down the
sinks every day, and they should be care
fully scrubbed with sapolio and water,
and once week copperas water should
be poured down. The housemaid should
have Il broom closet i'll which to keep all
the articles used in chamber work. Con-
venient hooks should be provided for
every article, and each one should have
its own particular place. Do not keep
coal and kindlings in this closet If
there is no regular place for them, have
box made on hinges about the length
and height of a trunk. This will hold
kindlings and two scuttles of coal, and
If neatly upholstered makes a good hall
seat. The bedroom closets should have
all the clothes removed and be we'll
washed out once week.

Perhaps no bird in America, certainly no
other i'll Michigan, equals the common bob
white, " quail, in the number of eggs it sets
upon. This species not infrequcntly lays IS
eggs, and even more are found in one nest,
but l can assure the readers that with any
other shaped eggs the bobwhite could never
succeed as Il successful setter The bob
whites egg is triangular and fits in rs no
other egg, to my knowledge, can, says DR..
Morris Gibbs in Science. With all birds
which lay II good clutch, so faras Dr. Gibbs
observations go, the eggs are deposited il.
ALMOST an exact circular group. The bird
must use excellent Judgment in thus ar
ranging them, for it is only by this order
that they can all be covered properly Not
infreqnently when Il grouse is startled from
her eggs she tumblcs one of her treasures
from its bed. If the egg is not too far re-
moved, it will almost invariably be found
returned to its exact position in the nest
within few hours.

OHuRon ENTERTAINMENTS.
Several Delightfui Lawn Parties and
Festivals Last Night.

Several Delightful Lawn PARTIES and
Festivals Last Night.
The festival given by the w. C. T. o..
on the lawn at the residence of L. Blair,
corner OF Church avenue and Park
street, was continued last night and as
on the previous evening was pleasant
entertainment successfully carried out.
The ladies will continue the festival
again tonight.
One of the most delightful and enjoy
able festivals of the season was that
given by the ladies of Christ p. e..
Church, last evening on the vacant lot
next door to the Baptist parsonage on
Roanoke street. The lawn was illumined
with Japanese lanterns, and the tables,
booths and rustic seats were lastly ar.
ranged. From early in the evening
until nearly midnight the grounds were
scene OF gaiety and the proceeds were
considerable. The festival will be con.
tinued to- night and the ladies are ar.
ranging to make it even more attractive
than last night.
The entertainment last night at the
residence of Rev. DR.. w. H. Meade, on
Terry Hill, for the benefit OF the
Ladies Aid Society Of St. Johns Church,
was a unique and pleasant affair. The
views of the Worlds Fair thrown on a
curtain by stereopticon were amusing
and ipstructing. After this part of the
entertainment light refreshments were
served. financially also the affair was
a success.

Polish For Il Stained Floor.

Where the high gloss of vanished sur
face is considered an objection the floor,
after being stained, may be polished with
beeswaN and turpentine. 1t takes some
hard work and plenty of elbow grease to
get anything like good surface on the
floor, and most domestic polishers are sat
isfed with what they are pleased to call an
eggshcll polish-in other words, very little
polish mt all.
Instead of wax polishing, the compare
lively old fashioned method of oil polish
ing may be adopted. Linseed oil-raw or
boiled-is rubbed into floor with a rub
Der and the more rubbing the better for the
look of the floor when finished.

Brick Paving Laid OH Gravel.

The city engineer, Mr. w. NJ. Written
OF South Bend, Ind, reports in II letter to
Municipal Engineering on brick paving laid
Oh foundation of rolled gravel He claims
it to be in as good or better surface after a
years traffic rs the brick paving in other
cities laid on Il concrete foundation. He
also states that II street in South Bend paved
with one course of brick is in better surface
than one paved with two courses Mt a cost
80 per cent greater Mr.. Written lays all
brick pavements with the courses Mt an
angle Of - degrees with the line of the street
and believes that the pavement wears more
evenly and keeps in better surface when so
laid

To make such IL serviceable stand as
the one the illustration shows requires
only a foundation of two circular pieces
of pine board with All upright joining the
two. Over one board, that which is to
form the top, is tackled round of hand
some cretonne, tight and smooth. Then
to the edge is also tackled slightly full
strip of the same, somewhat wider than
the distance between the two rounds,
which is again made fast to the second
board at the lower edge. Full pockets
of the cretonne are made with frillcd
edges and are attached to the edge of the
top of the table with ornamental nails.
Gimp is used to finish the lower edge,
ana, lastly, the crctonne is tied close to
the upright exactly at the center with IL
handsome ribbon bow.

Cleaning n Garnet.

Before cleaning carpets or rugs beat them
thoroughly on line, chalk ont all the
stains and dirty parts and we'll rub with
large house flannel dipped in pail of
water, in which pint of OK gall has been
either left for day to dissolve in cold
water or thrown into hot water and used
when lukewarm. TO rinse off, add a little
liquid ammonia to the clean water and rub
dry with towels or rough cloths. The exact
quantity of OK gall and the amount of rub
bling much depend of course, on the size
and quality of the carpet, its dirt and deli
cate coloring. OK gall is also sometimes
effectively combined with fullers earth or
mixed with one-quarter of a pound of soft
soap to half gallon of soft water. 1t is
important to have the boards of the table
or floor on which the cleaning process is
carried out thoroughly clean and to pre-
serve the damp carpet from any dust until
dry
