RECORD OF A LEE.
Secure One by Saving q Piece OF Every
Dress You Get.

1t often needs only a few interven-
ing years to change our most common
place surroundings into the most ro-
mantle; often in but few years we
learn to cherish anything which recalls
to us old associations. | am certain
that to a friend of mine no work of fic-
ton could ever suggest so much gen.
uine comedy and tragedy as unique
little album which she showed to me
ordinary one. of the sort generally
used for receiving clippings, but the
pages, instead of containing bits Of
fugitive verse, stamps or signatures,
were filed with an odd collection OF
dry goods. In the upper left-hand
corner of each page was fastened a
fragment of dress material; opposite it
a clever pen and ink sketch of the
completed garment had been drawn,
and below was given written biog-
raphy of the same, containing all sorts
of interesting items in regard to it;
its price, its date of purchase and the
occasion of its first appearance. The
owner of the book was an artist and
had supplied the sketches herself, but
it occurred to me such book would
be interesting even without the
sketches, as the beauty of the pages,
to my mind, lay quite as much in their
suggestiveness as in their artistic ar
rangement.
Several other friends who have heard
of this book have been pleased with
the idea and have started similar
books. A young girl who is about to
be married has decorated her first
pages with bits from a very dainty
trousseau. She intends to put in her
book piece of every dress she may
own.
A young mother has just commenced
such collection for her baby daugh-
ter. Should the child live to woman
hood the book will be to her a COM
plete record, not only of her vanished
youth, but also of the mother-love that
guarded and glorified it.
If only our grandmothers in their
days of silken tissue and stately bro
cades had had such an inspiration!
And when the fashion of things pres
ent has passed away, such albums will
have developed into valuable posses
sions.-Ladies' Home Journal.

A Negro SuneratltiOn.

which he had killed. He exhibited his
trophy with pride to a crowd of tour
lists who were standing about in front
of the hotel. The reptile measured
six feet three inches and had twelve
rattles and a button. One of the
guests offered the negro a dollar for
the rattles. The negro did not seem
to think that was enough for so valu-
able trophy, and said he would not
sell them for less than two dollars.
Just that moment another old negro
came upon the scene, and, upon hear
ing what was going on. said to the
owner'o the snake: 'Doan yo' cut off
dem rattles' 'WharfO' won't cut off
dem rattles, eff kin get two dollars
for um?" demanded the other. 'Doan

snake pondered for moment and then

How to Make Powder Stick.

If you must use powder and it won't
stick on, try this: Get an ounce or two
of cocoa butter-costs about ten cents
an ounce and looks like tallow. Rub
1t on your face briskly until the skin
is well creased. Take a soft linen
cloth and rub the butter off-and you
will wonder where all the dirt came
from; then repeat the process, this time
rubbing the skin well after applying
the butter. Again rub the face with
the cloth and apply it vigorously.
After that rub on the powder and your
skin will feel like satin. You can use
it on the neck and arms the same way
and it is not likely to rub off and make
your skin look shiny. Cocoa butter is
a good skin food and is harmless.

For wardrob. and ChiIonier.

A delightful recipe for scent-powder,
to be used for wardrobe, boxes, etc.
far finer indeed than any mixture sold
in the shops, is the following: Corr
ander, orris root, rose leaves and aro-
matte calamus, one ounce each; laven-
der flowers, ten ounces; rhodium, one
fourth of a drachm; musk, five grains.
These, after being thoroughly mixed,
are reduced to a powder. Placed
among feminine finery, this sachet has
the same effect upon clothes that
would be produced by fragrant flow
ers, if pressed between the folds.

Practical Kitchen Hint.

When one is done using dishcloths,
they should be thrown into a dish Of
water. Put little soda or potash in,
and place the dish for short time on
the stove, allowing the water to come
to boil. The cloths may then be
rinsed in cold water, and hung up in
the air. When needed again, they will
be as clean smelling as the clothes
from the laundry, in which condition
they should always be kept.

The intelligence with which Lestrade

Coxeyism.

The British press Is making great
effort now to show that the industrial
armies converged on Washington are q
device of the protectionists of the
United States, for the purpose OF
forcing congress to yield in favor
of a protection tariff We answer
to this, republican senators and re-
publican members, as well as re-
publican newspapers, have been among
the first to call halt in the wild
vagaries of the misguided men who are
leading these separate armies. Coxey
himself is an ex-democratic senator
from the state of Ohio, and is not
chargeable to the republican party in
any manner for his peculiar methods
of seeking relief The repu blican
party has always stood for good gov
ernmeDt, good money and the best OPP
portunities to all the people, notwith-
standing the declaration of the London
newspapers and those who are wishing

ments. the result of foreign immigra-

The Neweat Pincushion.

The newest and daintiest thing in
pincushions is the following: A
wicker basket, about the size and
shape of the bowl of a clay pipe, is
filled with finely cut curled hair. Then
a bit of black velvet is used as cover
ing for the top, and black pins are
stuck over the top in graduated rows
till it is entirely covered. If the round
heads are used it will look like a great
blackberry. Now narrow lavender
ribbon is tied around the basket and
long ends with bows, by which to
hang it up.

Democratic Diacourtsr1.

One phase of the debate Oh the tariff
bill in the senate has recently been
commented upon as rather remarkable.
Whenever republican senator has I'D.
dressed the senate on that subject, one
or two democrats have remained to
watch, while the rest are openly and
ostentatiously absenting themselves to
cloak rooms and committee rooms
There is such thing as courtesy in
the senate. There are able speakers on
both sides; and it is not exactly the
decorous thing for democratic senator's
to refuse to listen, and to emphasize
their Indifference, their DETERMINATION
not to be drawn into any debate by
their ections at such time

Scarcely ten days have elapsed since

high roller, and at the time OF his arrest
was beauing Annie Lewis, the cele-
brated actress, around Boston. IL
was al first reported that he
had left creditors here 10 the tune OF four
or dive thousand dollars, but they have Sc
cured themselves largely and will lose
scarcely anything.
J.. L. Straight, a prominent livery man
furnishes this weeks sensation. he Dor
rowed $500 on his farm and leaving his
livery which is mortgaged for more than
its value, departed with married woman
named Riddle. She is the mother OF four
children and not blessed with good looks,
and il is reported took the youngest child
about three years old with her. Her hus-
band is an oil man but did not live with
her. Straight leaves an estimaole wife
and a son is years old. Mrs. Straight Is
nearly crazed over the affair. II is not

went.
