bureau she had used, were redolent of that
odor.
Liquid perfumes have of late years been
impartially replaced by sachet powder,
many women adopting the plan of secur
ing small bags of the latter inside their
gowns. The powder is really less delicate
than essences, however, and is better suit
ed for use in the innumerable bags and
cases used to hold gloves, handkerchiefS
and wells than directly upon the person
Sachet powder is apt to lose it's fragrance
in a short time, especially that which is
violet scented, but a little flask of altar of
rose kept among laces and gloves will i.
part scent to them for years, and yet not
too much to be disagreeable There is no
other rose perfume made that can equal IT
in purity and lasting quality.
An illustration is given of a dainty fan

wide and edged with silk cord, which

at the sides of the pattern are sprinkled

A Twelve-year-old Heroine.

Little Freda johnson, a 12year- old
child, bore her infant brother in her
arms, fleeing from the flames that
claimed so many victims in the Wlscon-
sin forest fires. Men have pride and
balanced minds and knowledge Of
chances to sustain their courage, ena-
bling them to confront deadly perils with
composure, but the child Freda had
only love to fill her young heart and
her weak arms with the courage and
strength to bear the almost too heavy
burden of that baby boy, under which
she fell more than once as she ran,
struggling, alone, lost from her parents
in the smoke, ignored by the grown
men and women, fleeing in greater ter
ror than hope.
On she ran, with waning strength, but
with purpose to save Joe, Baby Joe,
or perish with him, but when she
seemed about to fall the tongues of
flame, reaching toward her, terminated
her and put new force into her frame,
and she pressed forward, soul bearing
her where body alone would have be-
trayed her. A pond of water received
her and Joe, and they fell into its pro-
tecting shadows.
"Joe would have been burned if l
hadn't carried him, said Freda, and

speech Of his 12-year-old sister when

are offered for sale in the fashionable shops
and are admirably calculated to give the
dress skirt the desired bell shape.
Wells with heavy borders are still in
style, but they are sedulously avoided by
women who not not wish to look as if they
wore beard. The mourning face wells,

Pinked frills are no longer the correct
trimming for even the simplest silk petit

trimmed with ribbons and yelled with
lace.
In order for godet skirt to live up to
it's ideal, the godets must be lined with

A Queen Under Punishment.

The little queen of the Netherlands,
though only aged Is, already shows
signs of the same independent character
as her late father was distinguished for.
Thus she considers it beneath her royal
dignity to respond to the greetings of
her loyal subjects, Notwithstanding the
observations of her governess to that
effect. One day as a punishment the gov
erness sent her to bed Immediately aft
er their return home. Then you should
have seen and heard her little majesty
in fury, stamping on the ground and
exclaiming:
'Whatl I, the queen of Holland, or
dered off to bed, and at o'clock too!
No, never, even if have to renounce
the throne of my fathersp'
Five minutes after this formal protest
her majesty was plunged in a sound

". On the third afternoon it made a
faint effort to open again, but was un-
able to do so, and then sank below the
water to become seed pod. This has
been the history of succeeding blossoms.
1t is the nature of the plant.
The plant has great, round leaves,
with edges which turn squarely up.
They are filled with veins and net
work of air cells, which makes them
very buoyant. Some of these which have
appeared at the botanical garden are
nearly if not quite 6 feet in diameter.
This leaf forms a veritable boat, and
the turned up edge keeps it as dry as
the bottom of the finest launch. If pro-
tected by frame to ep it from being
punctured, it would ear up good

But without frame it will support

statement the other day that he was

It's weight hardly caused DETECTION in

The following is from the Mime
apoliS School Education:
Praise OF the summer school comes
to us from several sources. Conductor
Q. F. Koehler is commended as an
ideal teacher. A. M. Webster could
not be more popular than his work at
Mapleton has made him in the county,
and the kindest compliments are
sent for Miss Cafferty and Wales.
There was practically no hardness
during the school. The school was
helpful more in methods and spirit
than in intellectual attainment. 1t
was to many an educational revival
which will be felt in better work in
the schools in the county this winter.

VARIOUS NOTES.

Side Lace Boots, Half Length Sleeves and
Hair Cloth PetticOats.
Long feather boas are to be worn this
winter.
Bluet continues to be fashionable color
and is seen in the new felt hats as well as
in hat trimmings
Side lace boots are making new bid
for fashionable favor. Laced boots always
fit more neatly than do buttoned ones,
and it is rather surprising that the latter
have so long eclipsed them in both fine
and coarse grades.
There is an increasing tendency toward
half length sleeves. Many French models
show them, not only for house toilets, but
for out of door gowns, long gloves being
of course worn in the latter case.
Although the hoopskirt failed to impose
itself upon the feminine public, its cousin,
the haircloth petticoat, is more successful

Boys Cooperate In Farming.

An instance Of successful co-opera-
tive farming came within my knowl-
edge this summer" said G. R. Sayre.
''Ten boys, ranging from Ia to Is years
of age, made compact to farm 40
acres. They rented the land near Chi
cago and went to work with a will.
Each week a boy was chosen to have
charge, and every one of the others was
bound to obey him in everything. In
this way each one was boss for part
of the time, and there were no clashes.
They raised early truck and have clear
ed enough to pay them handsomely in
spite of its being dry year. Expenses
and receipts are equally divided, and if
one shows disposition to shirk his
work he is ducked under pump, and
only two of them have had to be treated
that way. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Warming to the Moon.

1t was little girl in a smaller town
who watched the putting in of electric
lights with much interest. They had
been completed for about week when

A YOUNG SWIMMER.
Little Dick Essig of Chicago, Though Onl

Little Dick Essig of Chicago, Though Only
10 Months Old, Swims Like Fish.
1t is not likely that another city in
the United States can boast truthfully
of baby that can swim. Chicago can
make such a boast and maintain it.
This prodigy is only 10 months old, but
he has natatorial skill far beyond his
years. He takes to the water as natu-
rally as duck, and if he does not be-
come the champion exponent of the
sportive accomplishment his failure
will be due to parental objection. The
boy is little Dick Essig, son of Charles
Essig, himself noted athlete.
From his first introduction to bath
tub Dick has shown aquatic tastes. He
used to cry for his bath and then

would splash water over his mother in
playful resentment of her attempts to
bring his daily Tubing" to an end.
When warm weather came the past
summer and Papa Essig took the young
ster into Lake Michigan, the joy of the
toddler was beyond his juvenile power of
expression. There was no shrinking, no
fear that the water was cold or wet.
The boy had to be restrained from wad-
ing in before becoming attired for the
pastime. "Attired" is not the word to
apply in this case, for little Dicks
movements in the water are not imped-
ed by bathing suit. He takes his dip
in the costume provided by nature
Not more than four lessons were
given by his father before young Essig
could float, and with little assistance
could keep himself right side up and
his head in air while going through the
movements of a frog in his element.
With the rudiments mastered, the then

all the vigor and pleasure of ship
wrecked sailor approaching hospitable
beach. This pastime the little fellow
would continue till tired nature permit
ted no further indulgence that day. In
this way Dick really taught himself to
swim. His motions are faultless from a
professional standpoint. He has the
round, sweeping stroke of the arm, the
quick recovery and reversal of the hands
which all good swimmers employ. His
feet do not churn the water. In other
words, little Dicks method of aquatic
procedure is not what is known technic-
ally as ''dog fashion. OF course the boy
would not be allowed to go alone be-
yond his depth, nor does he dive from
springboard nor attempt to swim un
der water, but he can swim at his ten
der age far enough and float long enough
to save his life in case of necessity and
prompt relief. -Philadelphia Press.

in so FAR as there is any, was the po-

probably to convince the public

"The rulings of Judge Miller in

strict keeping with the whole atti-
tude of the Washington authorities
on this whole subject.

penalty, when all the circumstances
are taken into consideration, it is
difficult to know what to call it.

defendants were FORCED ON THE
