Wonan,s Era.

This is called the woman's era. God
grant that it may be an era of common
sense in the kitchen; that we who have
charge of the homes may awaken and
realize that we are often to blame for
many of our most dread diseases, espe-
cially typhoid fever, and that if we
knew how to cook, and cook we'll,
there would be far less intemperance
among men. Some of our so called
economy must have been inspired by
the devil, and the sooner we give it up
the better off we will be-Helen H.

A SMOKE CONSUMER.
The Committee WIN Recommend Putt ns
One in the City Light Plant.

The Committee VIII Recommend Putting
One in the City Light Plant.
A smoke consumer will probably soon
be put in at the city electric light plant.
The committee on finance of the city
council have been considering the pro-
position and a report favorable to the
improvement will be made at the next
meeting of the city council.
The apparatus will cost about 81 200,
and the manufacturers guarantee that it
will save the city more than that amount
in fuel in one year. The city now uses
lump coal at a cost of So 10 per ton.
After the smoke consumer is put in slack
will be used entirely, which costs but
$195 per ton. This will result in saw
ing of 81 800 in the annual operating ex-
penses of the plant
1t would be well if the council takes
the precaution to have this guarantee in
writing. 1t sounds too fowery to be
true.
One good is sure to result from the
smoke consumer. The people living in
the vicinity of the plant will not be
troubled by smoke, as there is little
doubt but that the device does away with
the greater amount of the smoke.

WAS NOT THE COMPANY,
But Its Officers Who Violated the Ten
Hour Law in Brooklyn.


ALBANY. n. Y, Feb. 14.-Attorney
General Hancock has handed down a de-
cision denying the application for per
mission TO bring action to vacate the
charter of the Brooklyn Heights railroad
company for failing TO operate its lines
according to the provisions OF its char
ter.
The attorney general holds that if the
ten hour labor law has been violated, it
was by the officers of the COM
pany and not by the corporation itself.
In conclusion, the attorney general
saws: "While it appears from the state
ments made to me by the applicants for
the hearing that the laws of the state
and the city may have been violated by
individuals, l am satisfied from consid-
GRAFTON of the facts presented by the Pc
titioners that they are not sufficient to
Justify the bringing of an action to annul
the charter of the corporation.
Upon the application to have Presi-
dent Lewis of the Brooklyn Heights
railroad. and President Norton of the
Atlantic Avenue railroad companies. re-
moved from their positions because of
alleged violations of the labor law, At

offenses must be proven by legal evil

of the stolen goods in their possession
when they were arrested.

Ink stains are hard to deal with, but
mnch may be accomplished if they are
only treated in time. One good remedy
is to tear blotting paper to pieces and
hold the rough edges on the ink when
it is freshly spilled. If there IS no
blotting paper at hand cover the spot
with Indian meal, or liquid ink may be
absorbed by cotton batting. When ink
is spilled the first care should be to
prevent it from spreading. Another
way of preventing ink stains is to i'm
mediately wash the stained article in
several waters and then in milk, letting
it soak in the milk for several hours.
Another manner of removing all or
binary ink stains is to wash the article
Immediately in vinegar and water and
then in soap and water. No matter
what is used for removing the ink, the
stain must be rubbed we'll.

means obligatory.

with yellow India silk. A puff of the
silk is put over the curved edge of the

Simpler than either of these, and
quite as effective, are some cozies COW

in the gamut of yellow color is struck.

a yellow hilltop lifts itself sharp
