Whalobone has almost disappeared from
commerce. Not because substitute has
been found for it, for that is not the case;
not because the women folks have no lon
ger any occasion to uso pliablc corsets, for
as long as they will wear such wretchod
things thoy will prefer whalebone
The scarcity of whalobono is due to sew
eral contributing causes. Since the adj
vent of petroleum whaling for oil is no
longer profitable, and the original whalers
cruised both for bone and oil. Now there
is no incentive TO seek oil at all, and
whaling voyage for bore alone is not
particularly profitable business, oven
though the price of tho substance, owing

THE EYES OF THE HOUSE.


The window is the eye Of the house, and
rs a bright, beautiful eye in a human be-
ing makes even homely face attractive
80 does beautiful window beautify the
whole house, however humble its construc-
ton.
A handsome pane of glass is deserving
Of care and as easily injured at the hands
of a careless cleaner as picture To clean
a window seems simple operation, and
1t is too, but one must know how to do
tho work, on which subject The Decorator
and Furnisher gives the following advice:
A cloudy day is the best time to do the
cleaning or day that is clear and dry,
so that the sun does not strike the glass,
which would cause it to dry in streaks.
Clean soft water in abundance, plenty of
clean and soft old rags and q leather or
chamois skin--these are necessary. Wash
ahe windows down quickly inside and out
and dry with the rags. Begin inside; fin
ish outside. Some people use the leather
for washing with. A little ammonia in
the water is helpful where there is smoke,
but be careful not to get too much in the
water, as it will injure the paint.
A wet day is bad for window cleaning;
a frosty ono is worse. For common win
dows, say up stairs, kitchen, etc, wash
ing down with ammonia Qeast bit) and
water and washing off with clear, then a
rubbing dry with chamois, is all that is
needed. For fino glass, rubbing to a pol
ish with newspaper is recommended.
Printers ink is tho polisher of the age.
Whiting is an old favorite. Fill a bag
made of an old stocking or piece of coarse
muslin, or fine salt bag, with gilder's bolt
Cd whiting and dust tho glass generously;
then rub off well with a slightly damp
leather or rag, and polish with clean,
dry leather. This is especially good for
now windows.
Another excellent way to polish window
glass is to take rag, and dampen it with
spirits of wine, and rub the glass briskly
for a few minutes, and then polish it
with clean, dry leather. A good polish
for cleaning windows or glass of any kind
is mado of soft soap and whiting mixed
and kneaded into balls and afterward
dried in the sun.
A cleaning compound much in uso for
show windows and as useful for house
windows is prepared by moistening cal
cincd magnesia with pure deodorized ben
zinc. Preserve in bottles with glass stop

Fine white muslin made into collars
and cuffs and trimmed with yellow val
enciennes lace give very Fronchy touch
to gown. These either show lace APP
plique which almost covers the muslin or
arc made in small tucks edged with the
narrow lace.
Even our shiny taffeta silks are now
fulled and craped in the process of manu-
facture and nearly all woods and cotton
goods have taken on a rough surface.
Gowns of black grenadine made over a
color arc sometimes trimmed in every
seam with tiny ruffie of grenadine and
silk set in.
Dainty shirt fronts are made of white
or tinted lawns laid in small plaits trim
med on the edge with the narrow valen-
ciennes, and at each side of the neck where
the front commences are lace rosettes,
with fluted net ends falling on either side.
Waffle crepon is the English name for
what has been already known in the mar
ket and by fashionable women as gauffre
crepon, a material not unlike waffles, with
the deep indentures and raised surfaces.
The new wool goods are rough in finish,
loosely woven and charmingly mixed with
two or three colorings. There are checks,
stripes and every variety of boucle effects.
Lace Is to be used in quantities on every
garment and fabric that will bear it from
the opera cloak to the corsage and the
small collet.
The fronts of the gowns still continue
to have the blouse effect.
The new serges are light in weight, soft
In texture and cheaper in price than ever.

INEBRlGTY OF VARIOUS KINDS.
More Ways Than One to Become Intoxi-
cated-A Cumulative Appetite.

In the usual accoptation Of the term in
toXication, or drunkenness, or inebriety
for they all mean practically the same
Things referred to the excessive use of
alcoholic beverages in one form or another.
Norman Kerr, the highest English au-
thority on the subject, has pointed out,
however, that there are a great many
things besides alcohol which produce in
toXication and that alcoholic inebriety is
not so dangerous or deleterious in its eff
feots as some other kinds of intoxication.
DIR. Kerr enumerates among the things
that make drunk come, as the Indian
expresses it, ether, cocaine, eau de cologne,
iodine, opium, hasheesh, parafIin, kero-
sene and even such seemingly innocuous
substances rs cod liver oil and castor oil.
II would seem almost incredible that
there could DO such thing as kerosene
incbricty or cod liver oil intoxication, but
the records of scientific research, rs set
forth by DR.. Kerr, are not to be disputed.
The fact seems to be that oyerindul-
Renee in any one of the numerous sub
stances of q certain class begets a cumu-
lativc appetite, and that this is accompa-
MED in time by functional arrangement,
and. worse still, by slackening and
weakening Of moral fiber. Tea, coffee and
tobacco, while less injurious to most peo-
Pic than alcohol or opium or ether, serve
to illustrate the familiar saying that the
appetite grows by what it feeds on. The
tobacco habit, the coffee habit, the tea
habit may grow on one until what was
once want becomes an actual need, and
each Is as necessary to the comfort If not
the health of the devotee as food itself,
remarks the San Francisco Chronicle.

Probably there is no disease that inHicts so
much continuous pain as rheumatism. When
it becomes chronic, there are few so hard to

The whole world is amazed at what is
