HEAD AND HANDS.
How to Keep Them in Good Condition
All the Year Around.

How to Keep Them in Good Condition
Ali the Year Around.
At this season of the year it is almost
impossible to keep the hands from chap
ping and looking red when they are in
water as frequently as it is necessary to
have them. Below is given a most ex-
cellent recipe for making laureline,
which is simply and easily prepared at
home and very inexpensive.
Two ounces of glycerine, one ounce
of alcohol, one-fourth ounce of gum
tragacanth, one-fourth to one-half
ounce of rose water or violet perfume,
one pint of water; soak the tragacanth
in the water two days, then strain and
add the other ingredients. Cut the
glycerine with the alcohol. If it should
be too thick add little more water and
alcohol. Bottle and it is ready for use.
In very cold weather, if it is too thick
to pour easily, heat it by setting over
the register or in bowl of hot water.
While most people admit there is
nothing better for the scalp than q thor
ough brushing of the hair morning and
night, many will not persist in this,
and are continually asking what will
make the hair come in when it is fast
coming out. Many of the best hair
dressers and BARRIERS are recommending
rubbing pure grease in very thoroughly
every night or every other night. In
several instances this has proved very
effectual and new growth of short and
strong fuzz all over the head has been
the result.
Many children and some of an older
growth are severely troubled with
dandruff in the scalp, which always
makes the head and hair look dirty.
This can be removed by rubbing pure
grease in every other night and in the
morning following wash thoroughly
with tar soap.-Carrie May Ashton, in
Chicago Record.

am a model husband. Ny wife
couldn't 10y her hands on another one
like me in fortnight. When the baby
cries at night 1 get up and fix him and
put him back to sleep. We have been
married three years and we have the
sweetest little baby boy in the world.
never cause my wife any trouble.
When she is all tired and worn out I
just say: Come, now, old sweetheart,
so lie down, and let me finish this job"
We have a great number of little
dresses for Wendell, and know where
they are kept and how to get at them.
My wife's father is well-to-do farm
er, and I like my wife's mother. I
never see any other woman who can
walk a little better than my wife, or
who looks Just a little sweeter. I
wouldn't marry the best woman on
earth unless I thought she filed the
bill for perfection, from my stand
point of judgment. I thought my wife
did, and she does. When she gets bis
cult turned over few times between
her hands and puts it in the pan, I
know the biscuits are going to be ex-
actly right. No doubt about it. We
have no drip coffee pot, but she makes
the blessedest drip coffee you ever
saw, and has the commonest kind of an
old tin coffee pot. She has a majestic
bearing, too. Her feet set just exactly
as a perfect woman's feet set. Her
head could be carried no better if she
tried for hundred years.
When I want to find out if anything
IS right or not, just get it before her
mind and figure on her Judgment. She
hits it every time. Don't ask me how
she does it. There is no spittoon
around the house. I know where the
peg for my hat is, and every time I
take it off in the house hang it on this
peg. My coat has peg, too, and there
is where my coat is found when not on
my back. There is no club on earth
like my wife and Wendell. She is the
outside guard and the inside guard.
She is the light in the east, and tine in
tellect in the west. She is my bright
and morning star. She can smell
loose button hundred yards, and she
has way of noticing the little specls
on my coat lapel, as she used to before
we were married. She loves me and
Wendell. I don't find anybody that
suits me half as well as she does, sweet
and gentle from morning to night.
When I want to be cross, she won't let
me. When 1 get cold-hearted and the
last speck of brotherly love is oozing
out of me, just one touch of her pres
ence stops that disposition. All in all,
my wife is o. K. and am a model hus-
band.-Erastus Plokey, in House
keeper.

CORRECT STATIONERY.
Suggestions That VIII Be Appreciated by
Letter Writer'S


Striking novelties i'll writing paper
are plaided, blocked and brocaded in
elaborate and not-to-be-commended
fashion. Pale tints are also popular
delicate blue, pink and cream. Pale
gray, lettered with black or silver, is
used for second mourning. Mono
grams grow smaller; they are inclosed
in a ring not larger than a ten-cent
piece, and frequently backed with
green or blue enamel. These are most
expensive designs. Long, narrow en-
velopes are superseding the large
square ones for wedding and other invi-
tations, with, of course, the sheet to
correspond.
To seal letter properly, one should
have an alcohol lamp, or a roll of the
wax taper sold for the purpose, and still
air in the room. With the seal and en-
velope before you, turn one end of the
stick of wax rapidly over the flame,
not near enough to ignite it, until it is
creamy and ready to drop. then deity
rub it round and round over the point
OF the envelope flap until enough is de-
posted, when the dab of wax may be
held a moment Immediately over the
fnme. Then firmly press the seal int
1T. If drop of the hot wax is first
placed under the point of the flap, the
seal will be less likely to break. A we'll
cutseal will never stick and practice will
dnsure a firm impression, with the wax
nodded neatly and evenly around the
seal. In all this, pray be careful! Blaz-
in:: wax in some hands is dangerous.
Remember Mrs. Longfellow's sad fate
from the lace of her gown catching fire
as she sealed her letters! Home Queen.

ing.
The west wing of the state normal
school building at Emporia is in dan
gerous condition and the regents fear the
building may collapse if something is
not done at once to repair it.
1t was not until few DAYS ago that
the discovery was made that there was
anything wrong with the building but a
special meeting of the board of regents
was called Immediately to consider the
matter
Some of the bricks have fallen out
frsm around the west windows.
Captain John Soaton, president of the
state board of public works. said to
STATE JOURNAL reporter today that as
soon as he learned of the condition of the
building, he directed State Architect
Holland to go to Emporia aud make an
official examination of the building and
report to the board. Mr., Holland has
not yet made his report.
Mr.. Seaton says the board of public
works made thorough examination of
the west wing a short time ago when the
new roof was put on the east wing, and
at that time there was no sign of any
thing being wrong with the west wing.
=, He aays it must be that the building
was wrecked by the recent earthquake
which shook good many buildings over
the state.
He said: "It is not generally known,
but my big warehouse at Atchison was
badly shaken by the Charleston earth
quake, and all three floors were bulged
out of shape. think it must have been
the earthquake which has caused the
trouble at the state Normal school,"
This wing of the state normal school
was erected in 1880, and with the furni-
ture cost $35 GOO

serrated leaf and you will see why. The
directions given by one who learned the
various stitches at the famous South
Kensington school are: "A long stitch
forward ION the right or upper side).
and a short backward stitch on the I'M.
der side" The illustration will show
how this is done.
The same method is applicable for
outlining flowers, such as Pansies or
daisies. When a center is required, the
proper finish is the French knot. This
looks complicated to those who do not
know how this is done, but it is very
simple. It is made by pushing the
needle up through the cloth, just where
the knot is to be, then winding the SILK
round the needle, two, three or four
times before pushing it back through
the cloth to the wrong side. The num-
berQf times you wind the thread round
will regulate the size of the knot. Twice
is sufficient in ordinary worl1.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

how to Clean COSTLY Furs.

Ermine and sealskin are best cleaned
with soft flannel. Rub the fur deli
cately against the grain, and when it
has been thoroughly lifted and re-
versed dip the flannel into common
flour and rub lightly any spots that
look dark or dirty. Shake the flour
well and rub with a clean, dry flannel
until the -four is all removed. Sable,
chinchilla, squirrel and monkey skin
may be very nicely cleaned with hot
bran. Get a small quantity of bran
and heat it in the oven until it is quite
warm. Rub stiffly into the fur and
leave for few minutes before shaking
to free it from the bran.

SAN FRANCISCO ALL RIGHT
Could Fix Up a Fleet of Thfrty-Gve
Vessels in Case of War.

Vessels in Case of War.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-San Fran
cisco can provide 80 vessels for the de-
tense of its harbors in the event of war
with England, provided time is given
in which to put them in condition for
battle. The Pacific Steamship company
can alone put ferth a very respectable
feet, and SpreckePs can turn out enough
tugs to cripple all commercial ships
which would attempt to pass the harbor
inside of the Farallone islands.
There are four big companies operat-
ing steamers out of San Francisco, the
majority of which fly the American flag.
The Pacific Mail company operates a
line of steamers between San Francisco
and Panama, and another between Pan
ANA and Mexican and Central American
ports, and another between this city and
China. Every share of the stock of
this company is owned by the
Pacific Mail company aud in case of war
they would be transferred 10 the Ameri-
can flag without loss of time. The head
quarters of the Pacific Mail company is
in New York and the people at this end
are chary of expressing an opinion on
the available ships which could be turn
ed over to Uncle Sam.
There is no reason, though. why they
should Lot all be at the service of the
navy department in exchange for coin.
The feet of the company taken all
through, will average a speed of twelve
knots an hour.
James Spiers. president and general
manager of the Fulton Engineering and
Ship Building works, says his firm could
in two months be prepared for the build
ing of six modern steel clad war vessels
at one time. At present the firm has ia
cilities only for two vessels at a time.
Under stress of circumstances and pro :
vided that the armor plates could be fur
nished promptly from the east, they
could build six armored vessels within a

FORT LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Dec "a
An informal test was made here today of
the power of resistance of packed snow
against the penetrating force of a
bullet from the new and old Spring
field rifles. From a distance of thirty
yards the guns were fred into ian i'm
mense ball of snow. In ne case did the
bullet penetrate bsycnd five feet,
and in some instances less than four
feet. Both guns performed alike. This
verifies the statements that pressed snow
to a thickness of six feet will prove a
sufficient protection from the new cali
ber rifles.
