CASH IS KING!

CREDIT makes a slave of the man
who gives or receives it. WHERE
cash and credit struggle along to-
gether, the cash buyer pays the bad
debts of credit, and in either case,
CASH or CREDIT, the buyer pays
more for his purchase than he who
buys of strictly cash house. Did you
ever think of that? In these stringent
times cash buyers expect, and are en-
titled to. the very lowest prices, and
should not be compelled to pay the
losses incident to credit business.
In the future as in the past, we can
save you 10 to 10 per cent OH every
dollars worth of goods purchased of
us. Our spring goods are arriving
daily and our prices are below COM

CARE OF THE SKIN.
Painstaking Care Is Necessary to Remov
Seemingly Trifling Troubles.

Painstaking Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trifiing Troubles.
There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex ones very soul by ap-
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes, but gen.
orally from lack of cleanliness or de-
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has any effect upon it, and very SIM
pie, entirely harmless one may be made
from one pint of rosewater, half pint
of vinegar and few drops of essence
of rose. This lotion may be applied
with piece of soft linen or a very fine
sponge.
Blackheads are very difficult to get
rid of, and are caused by the clogging
of the pores of the skin by dust or for
eign matter. Alcohol, ninety per cent,
applied by the means of a piece Of
chamois skin, will give tone to the skin
and remove unsupported dirt and dust,
at the same time stimulating the small
glands and removing, by constant use,
the blackheads.
Tan and freckles may be removed by
the use of the following lotion: Two
drachms of powered sal ammoniac,
four fluid drachms Of eau de cologne,
one quart Of distilled water. Lemon
juice and borax are both very effica-
cious, and are home remedies.
Many skins will not stand constant
washing, but need to be cleaned after
dusty ride or walk by other means
than soap and water. Lait Virginia. is
a delicious preparation, and can be
made as follows: One pint of rose,
orange-hower or elder-fower water,
half an ounce Of simple tincture of
benzoin, and ten drops of tincture of
myrrh.
After being exposed to harsh or
chilling winds, 1t is a good plan upon
retiring to rub quantity of fresh
cream on the face, removing after Eve
or ten minutes, to be applied again, fol.
lowed by generous putting of rice
powder. -Ilousekeeper.

Foreign Particles In the Eye.

AS the summer Is the season of travel,
and accidents to the eye are apt to oc-
cur from dust and cinders, q simple
remedy for removing foreign particles
from the eye will be found useful.
Oculists are not always procurable in
small places, SO it is well for the tourist
TO provide against accidents. A small
package Of flaxseed will be found USE
full. If cinders or dust render the eye
painful, place a faxseed under the lid
of the eye and close it, the mucilage
which exudes from the seed alleviates
the irritation, and the Objectionable
particle is apt to attach itself to the
gelatinous seed, so that when it is re-
moved the cinder or particles of dust
are also removed.-Godey's Magazine.

ABOUT CAKE-MAKING.
Some Hints Which Housewives Would Dc
Well to Remember

Some Hints Which Housewives Would Do
Wei to Remember.
There are many people who think
they have fulfilled their duty as cake
bakers II they present light cake.
Yet light cake may be as complete a
failure as heavy one. 1t may be per-
fectly risen, yet hard or dry and
feathery, like so many bakers cakes,
suggesting nothing but sawdust. A
perfect cake is delicate and moist in
Texture, and of such constituency as to
fulfill the old housewives phrase and
F'melt In the mouth" No cakes made
by baking powder are quite as tender
and moist as those risen with cream
Tartar and soda or with eggs alone 1t
Is easy enough to make cake tough
by everlasting at one stage or under
beating at another Where butter and
Sugar are used they must be thorough
~ Dreamed together, and the we'll
beaten yolks of the eggs added. The
milk must now be put in by degrees. If
1t Is poured In too rapidly the cake will
surely curdle, and it is impossible to
make cake of fine grain from a
curdled mixture. When the cake has
Feached this stage the whites Of the
eggs must be beaten to stiff froth,
but not to too tough froth or the cake
will have leathery constituency
"a large majority of cakes are
Spoiled at this stage by toughening the
white. 1t is unsafe to use any of the
patented heaters, because with such
heater 1t Is an easy matter to beat the
egg too much. The old-fashioned
whisk, or spoon, of fine wire, which
costs about five or six cents, is the
safest and best egg-beater. Patented
beaters are invaluable for beating salad
dressing and for many other purposes
Beat the whites merely long enough
for them to cling to the inverted whisk.
Add them to the cake after the -four,
folding them in with slender wooden
spoon, which is used by all the best
'cakemakers to stir cake. When the
whites of the eggs have been put in the
oven should be ready. There should
he strong body of fire, but the heat
should be turned off SO that the oven is
only moderately hot. Put In the cake
carefully, and take care that 1t raises in
the pan before it begins to brown
When 1t is fully risen, increase the
heat. A loaf of ordinary cake Of av-
erage size will bake in forty or fifty
minutes. Loaf cake will take an hour
or an hour and quarter. A pound
cake ought to bake very slowly for two
hours, and fruit cake should be baked
four hours.-N. Y. Tribune.

sometimes one at either hand, and the
poor little creature in this unnatural
position with strain on the heart mus
Giles, to say nothing of the arms, is

much heat is lost by the removal of
coy even for a moment The mate
rails consist of two contrasting shades,
two ounces each, of double Berlin
zephyr wool. Sage green with either
very pale sky blue or salmon pink looks
well, or else golden brown with prim-
rose yellow, keeping all cases the pale
color for the lining and frill. Some
ribbon for bow and twist around the
base of the frill is required for finish;
this should match the frill in color.
Take knitting needles No. 4, and
with the darker shade for the out
side cast on 80 stitches; work one row
plain. Then the rest is carried out in
what is sometimes known as briache
stitch, this is worked by making one,
slipping one and taking up two, in
every row the same. The coy is
worked in four sections, two for the
outside and two for the lining. For
each section use up one ounce of wool,
reserving just enough to join up the
sides when finished. For the lining
cast on go stitches instead of 80; this
will give it additional length sufficient
for the frill at the top. In joining up
leave slit on each side large enough
for the handle and spout to pass
through, as shown in the illustration.
Nothing simpler than this mode of
making tea coy can well be imagined.
The finished effect, though plain, is
dainty and pretty, while the thickness
of the wool and the close stitch en-
ployed make it practical and useful

FOR BABY'S PATTERNS.
A Case Which Would Delight the Hear

One of the daintiest gifts which could
be made for young mother, and one,
too, which she would be sure TO appre-
ciate and find very useful, is case for
the patterns of baby clothes which will
be sure to accumulate. To make such
a case you must purchase one dozen
large white envelopes at least nine and
a half by four and half inches in size.
Very handsome envelopes may readily
be made from some of the heavy white
art papers, sold at any art stationery
store, by using common envelope for
pattern. When the envelopes ara
ready, cut small hole through each
lower corner of the entire twelve. Now
place them in a pile, all opening the
same way, and run a piece of white
silk elastic through the holes at each
end. Do not draw it tightly, but sew
the ends loosely together so that the
envelopes may be opened like the

BADGES OF MATRIMONY.
Worn by Women Everywhere, Except in

the United States.
Americans are the only women In the
world who do not exhibit some sign of
lnatrimony. OF course those who fol-
low in the wake Of European etiquette
would not appear with their daughters
wearing hat without str8gs, but the
universal American woman buys what
she likes regardless of whether 1t be
matronly or not and, what is worse,
her daughters will select articles of
dress only suitable to married women.
In no other country is this the case.
Among the Germans the badge of a
married woman consists CT little cap
or hood Of which she is very proud, and
looming the cap" is the feature of the
wedding day among the peasants Of
certain localities.
The married women In Little Russia
are always seen, even In the hottest
weather, with thick cloth Of dark
hue twisted about their heads. In New
Guinea a young woman let's her hair
hang about her shoulders, but when
she Is married this is cut short. In
Wadai the wives color their lips by
tattooing them with iron filings; in
parts of Africa, the married women
perforate the outer edges of their ears
aud their lips and stick rows of grass
stalks in them; and among a certain
Mongolian tribe of people, the Manthes.
the women wear suspended from one
ear little basket full of cotton, to
which spindle is attached. Thus in
every country, savage and civilized, but
our own, there is ii sign or symbol of
some kind that distinguishes the matron
from the spinister. Louis Republic
