rose, violet or heliotrope may be used
without stint. A yard of cheese cloth
will ba found a desirable size for the
little comfortable. Spread this upon
table and overlap it with sheets Of cot
ton wadding, literally sprinkled with
sachet powder. Finally cover the cot
ton with second yard of cheese cloth,
turn in the edges and haste them to-
gether, after which they may be over
handed or stitched about on the ma
chine. The entire coverlet should then
be basted through and through to hold
the cotton in place.
A circle, square or diamond, IN
ample size, should next be cut in paper
as pattern. Decide somewhat the
nature of the design. keeping in mind
that it must be sufficiently intricate tc
serve as quilting for the coverlet.
A row Of circles overlapping each
other across the top and bottom OF the
coverlet is effective, with Baby

the center. 1t is simple work to fol-
low out the basted pattern with daisy
ribbon, sewed firmly down to hold the
cotton inside in place. The last yard
of cheese cloth is utilized as a ruffie
for the edge. This frill should be
three inches deep, made double, and
the fuller it is the jauntier when set
about the covcrlet. A single row CT
several of daisy ribbon will hide the
stitches that join the rrrffie to the GOV.

little bow-knots at the four corners.

Cucumber Salad in Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find way tc
enjoy them fresh out of season by fol-
lowing this German recipe to preserve
them: Take as many medium-sized GU
cumbers as You wish and pare and slice
them as If for salad and then salt them
well and after leaving them III the SILT
few hours the salt and liquid are
squeezed out of them with clean
white cloth. Then take quantity Of
fnely-cut onions and peppercorn and
mix them well into the cucumber. Put
the whole into large stone jar and
pour over it the best white wine vim
egar. and on top two inches OF good
salad oil; cover the top of the jar with
a bladder. During the whole winter
the cucumber remains fresh and good.
When necessary add a little more vim
egar. and always leave two inches Of
oil at the top. Cucumber salad made
from the vegetable thus prepared is
said to be almost equal to its use in
the fresh state.

Simple Movements for Developing Phys

An eminent physician has said that
II the following three simple move
ments are executed vigorously every
day for twenty minutes the effect in o
years time will be very apparent. Be-
fore going down to breakfast, open
wide the window and for ten minutes
go through the following exercises:
First, stand perfectly straight. with
heels together, and initiate the lungs
with the pure morning air, drawing in
the breath while fifteen is being
counted and expelling in the same
way Repeat this eight or ten times.
Then bring the arms forward at full
length with the palms together and
then throw them vigorously back, try
ing to touch the backs. At first it will
seem impossible, but after few days.
practice it can be done.
Do this from twenty-five to fifty
times, then raise the arms above the
head to the utmost, with tie palms
outward, and then lean sloWly for
ward, keeping the knees perfectly
straight. and try to touch the ground
with the fingers. This, too, requires
practice at first, but can be done after
awhile. Then raise the arms gradually
to the first position and repeat the
movement twenty-five to fifty times.
At night go through the same move
ments. This simple little exercise, If
persisted In, will prove to be of meal
culable benefit and restore young peo-
pie to perfect health when medicine

THE NEW TELEPHONE RATES.
Statement From the Sunset Telephone
Co. 90 The People of Seattle.


As it is q financial i'm possibility to do
business under the rates imposed by the
city council, We are puzzled as to the
proper course TO pursue. The policy of
taking the matter into the courts. using IN
ferior appliances. or Withdrawing from
business entirely are possible solutions of
the question. but before seriously consid-
ering these We intend to exhaust every
effort in the direction of harmonious
compromise.
1t being impossible to reach all patrons
personally. we use this medium, believing
a general understanding of facts and
figures will bring mutually satisfactory
results.
The reduction proposed by the council
will necessitate such close economy that
the company is obliged to change its rental
system, and believe this can be done with
the cooperation of its patrons and the city
council.
Our profits in the city of Seattle in 1898
were but s., 037.I7, the gross income being
S64, SIS. 50. 0neof our largest items of ex-
pense was Sic, $40 80 paid the American
Bell Telephone Company. of Boston. for
rental aud royalty on instruments and
switchboards.
The expiration of tho patent on the
hand telephone reduces our royalty in
1894 TO about $4,000 and if business had
remained the same the 81. 600 gained on
this item would have made our profit over
$1,000 in 1894 This, however, cannot be
realized owing to the dull times The rate
set by the council will involve q reduction
of receips of 81 COO per month 600 business
telephones 81 each and 800 residence 81 so
each). or $12 900 for the year, leaving rs on
October /. 1896. to face an approximate
loss of S.. 600 on the years business.
The public as q ruie have no conce ption
of the cost of conducting the telephone
business. We are prepared to substantiate
every item of the above figures, and
are confident, if the occasion arises, the
courts will eventually confirm our right to
fair compensation.
Our service would materially suffer by
any reduction of our expenses at Seattle.
and the serious item of expense, royalty.
cannot be abated for the reason that the
American Bell Company have purchased
AMI own every patent of any value ever
issued from the United States patent Of
fee upon telephones and switching APP
paratus, some 800 in all. and without
these appliances We could not conduct
business.
The charges of the Sunset Telephone
Company, which covers the Pacific coast.
are lower than the rates of any telephone
company in the United States. This APP
plies TO all cities where II does business,
and its profits now and in the past have
been less than those OF any other tele-
phone company. As an evidence of this,
something over s., 100000 in actual coin
has been invested By the company in ITS
territory. It's stock today Is only selling
at the rate of 81, 400. 600. and the dividends
have never exceeded 4 per cent. per annum
upon the actual cash outlay, or per cent.
upon its capital.
We cite the business rates OF a few East
ern cities of similar size TO Seattle and
similarly equipped with heavy return
wire:

philosophically and asked the chief II the
laws in this state would allow him TO
choose hanging or shooting.
'Weii," said the chief. ''the Law here
says hanging
Banck replied that he did not want to
lie in Jail. and preferred being tried one
day and executed the next.
He says he lived in Missonla about SIX
months and left there three weeks ago.
He worked along the line OF the Northern
Pacific TO Tacoma where he stopped lev
days. He was there September =, ana oy
receipt IN his pocket II was learned that
he purchased false beard and mustache
for IS. paying 81 down. He claims TO have
arrived in the city last Tuesday.
Several times Chief Rogers asked him
If he was the Meeker murderer. He sim
ply Rrinned and once replied:
"Well, l wonder if they ever got that
man IN the brush. I hope the fellow got
away" Then he would laugh.
His description comes SO near that OF
the Meeker murderer that Chief Rogers is
inclined to think there is something in the
theory of their being one and the same
man.
Officer Bates saw Blanck looking into
the Mug saloon twenty minutes before the
murder, and gave the best description OF
him received at headquarters.

In June. 1894. New York City put into
operation the following schedule Of
charges: SIS for installation of telephone;
no rental charge: messages to be con-
tracted and paid for by the year in adj
vance. TO be used within the time specified.
Business and Office rate--0ne thousand
messages per years. dayl $3.50 per
month. with IL cents for each excess mes
sage; 1900 messages per year t6 day..
si666 per month, with s cents for each
excess message, the charge diminishing
as the use increases.
The city of Buffalo has had in operation
for about year the following rate:
Business and Office rate-Five hundred
500 messages per year (i3s day. 81 30 per
month. with 10 cents for each message in
excess; go messages per year e a day), SIS
per month, with 10 cents for each message
81 PEI month. with cents for each mes
sage in excess. The loves. monthly rate
is as statedin both the above schedules.
PROPOSED PLAN FOR SEATTLE.
We have, after careful consideration,
matured a similar plan for Seattle. which
We wish to offer to its people. 1t is as
follows:
Business aud office rates-Six hundred
messages per year 1.-TWO day., 81 per
month. 6 cents for excess messages IN to
fifty, after which cents each; 90 mes
sages per year tthree . da,l S. per month.
5 cents for excess messages up to nifty,
after which cents each.
To residences. switches will be sold, sixty
per month, at 63s cents each for individual
lines, making the monthly charge 81; or S
cents each where more than one telephone
can be placed on q line. making s. per
month.
This system will reduce the cost of tele-
phones to about so per cent OF our SUBJ
scribers from 50 to 81 per month, 10
further Is per cent. from SIS to s.. while
the remaining 80 per cent. will pay an in
creased sum proportionate to their use of
the instrument.
The agents of the Sunset Company will
visit as many of its patrons as can be
reached today and tomorrow. and feel
confident the majority who will be mate
rally benefited by the new schedule will
join the company in a petition to the
council for the rates under the new plan.

A sTILL-HUNr FOR CANDIDATES.
Collins Can't Find Enough Spotted Eggs
for His Purpose.

for His Purpose.
The spotted egg ticket remains incom-
plete. and, despite the best efforts of John
Collins and Harry White. is likely to re-
main SO till the close Of the campaign. The
greatest task in front of the political incu-
bators Is not 10 fill the vacant places, but
to secure the consent OF the men already
"nominated" TO continue before the public
IS spotted eggs, and ii 10 understood that
there are yet likely to be many changes.
Only two of the nominees have so far seri-
ously considered the question of running.
and they were among the originators of
the movement OF course they are BOOM
ing their own candidacy. There is much
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the sore
heads because the ticket has not been
filled out. If the eggs could remove their
spots the color would soon be entirely
rubbed off Of them.
This condition off affairs calls to mind
the fact that Statesman Sallee has fallen
down somew hat in mis- management of the
sorehead movement, and some of the
original soreheads are afraid that he will
overthrow them in his counsels with
Collins and White. Sallee is credited by
John B. Hart with having thrown him
down in the attempted deal with Thomas
b. Hardin, wherein the Democrat was TO
withdraw in favor of the Populist, who. if
elected was to reward Collins and the
spotted eggers by making A. g. Mcbride
first deputy. The withdrawal of Hardin
was opposed by L. G. Gilman, John II.
Allen. c. w. Turner. f. f. Blaine. George
Donworth. J. b. Howe. and other repre-
sentative Democrats. who would not, IN
der any circumstances, consent to the pro-
position. as they considered 1t an endorse
ment of the mistakes of the late kid CON-
mittee c. q. Heifner, of the Democratic
executive committee, is one of Harris
staunchest friends, but finds his hands
tied. and is unable to do anything as long
as Hardin remains obdurate.
A radical anti-fusionist remarked yester-
day:
"By the way, have you noticed the
arrangement of the Demo Populo-fusio-
spotted egg ticket as Collins published it
TO the worid7 1t is "A coat of many colors,
a thing OF shreds and patches. First come
the so-called Democratic county nominees,
headed by 0strander for sheriff; then the
spotted egg. with Wooiery for treasurer
first. and Ralph Simon. who has always
been hidden from view by Harry Whites
coattais, at the rear end, and finally, the
nominees of the state convention set off
all by themselves. l suppose Collins
smarts so under the castigation admins
tered at Yakima that he doesn't consider
the state ticket worth any prominence.
and has degraded II by putting il below
the spotted eggs. No doubt If this were a
presidential year he'd bury the national
nominees In the same way If they didn't
suit him. This spotted-egg campaign is
too much for me. and | wish the whole
question were decided. as it will be, in
favor of the Republicans"
