owner of the many little attentions she
must bestow on the unpretentious
small basket. A very convenient and
attractive basket may be made at
home, using two peach baskets, as
shown in cut. The lower one may be
left unfinished inside, merely serving
as support. The upper one should be
lined inside, and furnished with nu-
merous pockets and a cushion or two
for needles and pins. Cover the out
side with pretty cretonne or silloline,
putting band and bow where the two
baskets meet. The top is made of a
long, straight piece of the right width
to gather up in the center with draw
string, the other edge being fastened
under the upper frill. The draw
string should be long enough to let all
the fullness out, so that the top may
be turned down on the outside when
the basket is in use.-Rura1 New

INTRODUCE THEM.
Boys and Girls Should BE Presented
OrmaIiy to Adult Visitors.

Boys and Girls Should Be Presented
OrmaIIy to Adult Visitors.
It is common oversight in too many
households not to introduce the chill
dren to visitors. Guests are formally
presented to the adult members of the
family, but the younger boys and girls
are either ignored altogether, or else
introduced in a general way without
giving their individual names. This
course is almost certain to result in
awkwardness and constraint on their
part when grown. There is a differ
ence between putting children forward
unduly and giving them their just need
Of recognition. And pray take pains,
in making introductions, to speak the
names distinctly, and, above all things
else, do not omit their mention. How
many of US have been annoyed to have
a hostess greet an intimate friend, to
whom we were entire strangers, with
some such salutation as: 30 Henry, so
pleased to have you meet Miss Blank"
leaving US to discover his surname as
best we may. It is not a bad plan for
the family to rehearse by themselves
some of these little social formalities.-

Top BUREAU DRAWER.

said to Be an Absolute Revelation eff .
Woman's Character.
Harriet Holt Cahorn says that wom-i
ans bureau drawer-the top drawer,
that either is or is not a catch-al1-re-
veals character more than any of her
possessions, and I could almost tell her
fortune by looking into it. Is it a pot
pourri-gloves, 1aces, hairpins, frizzes,
collars, letters and a hundred other
things? This denotes an uneven, IN
systematized, happy -go-lucky life, one
that fate loves to pursue. The orderly
woman who establishes a standard for
people to live up to always keeps this
bureau drawer in order. Her life is of
the tranquil kind. The woman who
fills her bureau with boxes possesses an
excess of order that makes life a burden
to the ones who live with her She is
conservative and not very adaptable
nor tolerant. While order is the first
lane to Heaven, order does not by any
means produce Heaven. However, the
bureau drawer never poses You may
profess sentiments that are not yours,
and your milliner and dressmaker lend
YOU personality which you do not pos
sess, and pose successfully for what you
are not; you can buy correct books and
pose for a itterateur by living up to
their bindings. In your house and it's
furnishings you can buy artistic effect
and harmony of color and grand pic
lures, and even the atmosphere that
belongs with these evidences of culture
will hover about. You can have Louis
Quinze room without knowing why you
have it, and you can buy your coat of
arms and your antiques and your an
cestors. and you may escape the soul of
all that they represent and the world
will be none the wiser But let the
world have peep in the top drawer of
your dressing table and it will find out
things about your real character of
which it has never dreamed.-Philadel-
phia Times

NORTON HAS NO POWER.
People Shouldn't Complain of Meat In
spection Unless He has Authority.

People Shouldn't Complain of Meat In
spection Unless He Has Authority.
WASHINGTON. May 25.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton and DR.. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
are very much exercised over the attack
made upon the effectiveness OF the meat
inspection now carried Oh under the act
OF 1890.
The inspection provided for under the
act was to meet the demands Of the
foreign governments 10 which our meat
was exported, but the authority given
the secretary was insufficient and MIR.
Morton has tried in every way to induce
congress to cure the defects.
The truth has been that while the in
spection separated the healthy from the
diseased meat ard prevented the export
of the latter the secretary was not cloth
ed with the power to compel the de-
struction of the condemned meat, and
this could be sold in the domestic mar
kets.
If the Legislatures of the states had
taken steps to cooperate with the de-
parlment by providing for the destruc-
ton of carcasses condemned by the
federal inspectors, the inspection would
| have been rendered effective.
Secretary Morton secured relief along
this line from the last congress. but the
law doesn't go into effect until July 1.

APPENDICITIS RACES.

DIR. Stewart Suffering From It-Ralph
Graham Has Been Operated On.
That dreaded disease appendicitis is
furnishing employment for Topeka sur
geons This is the season when the
cases are the most frequent
DR.. S. G.. Stewart 10 sick with that
complaint at his home at 511 West
Eighth street. He was at his office all
day yesterday, but was taken sick last
night and is suffering greatly today. 1t
is not known whether or not an opera
ton will be performed.
DR.. Stewart has beer subject to re-
current attacks of this trouble for sew
eral years, but they have never been
considered serious before.
Ralph Graham, the fourteen year old
son of Mrs. A. T. Graham, who lives at
1874 Polk street, is slowly recovering from
appendicitis. Drs. McClintock and
Grubbs performed an operation and re-
moved the appendix, and the boy will
recover, though it has since been neces-
sary to keep the cavity open TO free il
from the pus which forms.
He is still suffering pain, but the crisi.
is thought to be past.

Cnntine Dish Parties.

So great is the rivalry among the
owners of fine chafng dishes and choice
recipes to be cooked in them that
cooking clubs, of both men and women,
frequently meet and prepare a luncheon
or ten o'clock supper entirely over the
chatting dish Each person brings or
sends his dish and the materials for
making it in advance, and the feast ia
cookedcour by course by the different
chefs. To prevent superabundanc
of one kind of food, each guest is mott
fed of the dishes that will compose the
menu, or permitted to send in word of
the concoction at which he is most
skillful. In this fashion chafing dish
party may have much of the delirbt
and terror of a summer picnic.

Rare and Costly FOxskins.

Most OF you have read quotations of
silver fox skins and black fox skins.
but did you ever see one. The chances
are that if you are not in the fur busi-
ness you never did. Only 139 were
taken i'll the whole world last season,
and every year all of these go to Rus
sia, where they are the fur Of the
royalty and tho mobility. The other
day trudging up the Journal stairs
came Hunnewell, the South Danville
fur king. He is real Yankee at q
trade, hustling buyer, who has
agents in the Nova Scotias and in
Cape Breton and all along the rich
fur bearing countries, and his trans
actions amount to $4,000 year and
upward. Under his arm Hunnewell
bore package, which he tossed light
ly to the floor of the reporters room
and disturbed the quiet of the several
desks ut work. 'lnGre, Salu lie, IS
something you never saw before-eight
silver fox skins in one bunch. There
they are-four of them beauties, four
of them ordinary" The four first
named were beautiful skins, pure deep
black along the bases of the necks,
silver tipped along the backs, while
the tails were just shimmered with the
silver white. The fur was soft and
fine, beautiful to the touch. ''That
sllin," SAID Mr.. Hunnewell, tossing
out one, "is worth $135. This one is
worth $50. If that one were as black
as this and was as heavy and soft as it
is now it would be worth $500 easily.
Considering that only 139 were taken
last year, and that l got twenty-four
OF them, l think / got my share.
These came from Cape Breton, and ]
never had so many i'll one bunch be-
fore. "-Lowiston (Me. Journal.
