parrots vivid plumage will be used in
moderation. Wings large and small
will be worn by women of all ages.
Every wing, even if it be of farmyard
extraction, will be fashionable this
season, but those most in vogue will
be- in the opalescent effects. There
will be wings that shade from light
fawn to deep brown, and quantity OF
two.toned wings beautifully blended.
Pure white wings and feather wings
spangled with jewels will be in fash
ion. There will be wings of steel, jet
and gold. When fur or velvet is used
it will be in the shape of a wing. The
general character of the hats will be
low, broad effect. The turban will be
the smartest hat for street wear, and
it will be embellished with wings, or
breasts running entirely around the
hat. The crowns will be of velvet.

Spangled velvets will also be used for
crowns, combined with either fur or
breasts. A new turban has crown
formed of very small wings of parrot
green. The broad band which forms
the rim is of black velvet. At the
front of the tnrban rim is jet pin,

Turbans made of large birds will be

three little tips we'll curled as finish
to each end. Moreover, they have
other new fancies, notably that OF
adding little collet below the boa, q
simple transparent frill of chiffon
accordion pleated, and finished all
along its edges with bits of ostrich
tips. these are extremely pretty for
the evening when white throughout,
or else when entirely black. They are
also made with black boa and white
chiffon pleating, the white edge fin
ished with white feathers.
An extremely elegant little affair for
slight protection on cool days is a
short collet or cape of black ostrich
feathers, fifteen lengthwise in a row
below bos, the long feathers spread
ing out slightly over the back and
sleeves in full cape fashion. This re-
quires an immense boa as far as the
neck is concerned, but it should reach
only to the waist, and be completed
by small tips very much curled.
The Medicis collar of ostrich feath-
ers is commended to those who like
the neck we'll protected and becom-
ingly dressed. Some that are import
ed are formed of very tiny and perfect
tips that flare above and below, and are
tied in front with long satin ribbons.

CROCHET WORK THE RAGE.

At the present moment crochet work
is simply the rage; no matter what
one makes, whether dress trimmings,
@ finish for underwear, or edgings for
fancy work, the crochet needle is one
of the favorite cmploynleats of the in
dustrious young woman. Crochet
shawls are again coming into fashion,

CLEANING KITCHEN WOODWORK.

A housekeeper with half century's
experience says that cleaning kitchen
tables and sinks with soap is great
mistake. It disintegrates the fiber OF
the wood and turns it yellow. She
says that very hot water and bora1, or
very hot water alone with plenty of
strength, will give the very best re-
suits. This is all very true, provided
one uses cheap soaps made Of chemi-.
Gals and all sorts of denominations,
but home made soap, which should
abound in every we'll regulated htch-
en-, will not produce this effect; and
the work is much more easily and
quickly done than with simple hot
water and scrubbing.
One of the points OF grace in wo-
mems work is to have learned to do
things easily as we'll as thoroughly. a
woman might, with much more profit,
occasionally buy.a new table than to
wear her strength and life out clean
ing the old one, when by q little
knowledge of science and chemistry
she could neutralize the grease and
wash off the compound of oil and al
kali with a few dashes OF boiling
water.-New York Ledger.

AttemDt to ResuSitate a Boy.

At Heffron's undertaking rooms an
effort was made yesterday to bring

years, who was drowned in the lake
on the previous afternoon.

Wilson avenue. claims that he himself

self of the opportunity until yester.
day. His theory is that o corpse can
be resuscitated, providing there are
no internal injuries. by placing the
entire body, except the eyes, nose and
mouth, in O bath of water heated to q
constant temperature of 10 degrees
Fahrenheit, and leaving it there for at
least five hours. An ordinary bath
tub was used yesterday. When the
water had reached the proper temper
ature DR.. Whitney and his assistants
carefully deposited the body in ths
tub. 1t was then about II o'clock in
the morning, and from that time until
4 o'clock, when the experiment waa
given up, the condition of the corpsa
was studiously watched by DR.. Whit
ney. Although the experiment was
failure, at times the blood was started
to circulate and the face and lips as
sumed the natural color. 1t is said
that the heart was felt to throb sever
al times. When the test was over DR..
Whitney claimed it was not successful
because the boys body was rolled over

WASH cHA1L1Es IN RICE WATER.

Challies can be beautifully washed
in rice water. Boil. half pound OF
rice in rather more than two quarts
CT water. Let the water become tepid
and then wash the fabric in it, rub
bing it with the rice, as il it we're
soap; rinse two or three times in rice
water, from which, however, the rice
has been strained, and used the last
rinsing water well diluted, so that the
material may not become too stiff.
Iron while slightly damp. Silk stock
ings should be washed and rinsed in
lukewarm water and wrung between
towels. Woolen and silk underwear
should be washed in warm soap suds,
to which a little ammonia has been
added. The silk garments may soak

s:Ea:I.''

The derivation of this word is posi-.
bly, traceable in the Welsh language.
By the law of mutation of initial con.
sonants peculiar to that tongue the
root words field and meld are con.
vertible terms. Their essential mean.
ing is possession; transitive or intran.
siti7e, possession Of something, or the
act of being possessed or engrossed by
some occupation or vice. Welsh medd,
and Irish, Sanskrit and English mad
have similar meanings, and are proba
bly, kindred words. The word mad is
not common in Teutonic idioms, SC
that the Anglo-Saxons probably bor'
rowed it from the Welsh. Fad is,
therefore, equally derivable from tfedl.
Proximately, OF course, it comes from
the Midland dialects, and ultimately
from some root word common to many
members of the Aryan family OF
speech. 1t would be strange if the
two words, mad and fad, having a
similar meaning, should be traceable
to the same root.-Notes and Queries.

CHAPTER XXI.

It was 6uSpenseful silence which
had fallen upon the thrilling scene Of
the drama In the room where Marion
had been imprisoned, and where Paxton
had surprised Stanmore, who now con-
fronted him weapon in hand.
All present breathlessly awaited o
renewal Of the action which &as tran
silently suspended.
The policemen who accompanied the
detective would have rushed upon Stan
more en- masse had the former given
them O word Of command. But no such
order was given. On the contrary. he
gave his auxiliaries signal to fall back.
AIarion's ollated eyes were rlveted
upon the detectives face, and the ter
ror-stricken expression Of her counten-
ance told Of the tear that was in her
heart.
The hunted Eih's brain was frenzied
with fright; but even in her terror her
beauty was so grand and imperious that
all who beheld her new were impressed.
Paxton was the first to speak.
Suddenly extending his hand to Stan
more in a friendly way, he said:
Il know all. The chief Of police has
intrusted me with your secrets, and I
honor you for your devotion to the
woman you love. Your error was in not
contiding all your secrets to me-"
Stanmore returned his revolver to his
pocket, and grasping the detectives
hand with O friendly pressure, he an
swered:
Il was waiting for the day Of my vim
dication. In my judgment, the time had
not come for such revelation. But
tell me, did the chief tell you who I
really am?"
"yes; you are Donald Wayburn,
Marion Oakburn's afianced husband, y
answered Paxton.
Donald! Oh, why Gid not suspect

from the first" said Marion, and she
reeled as though about to faint, but
Stanmore folded her in his arms.
AT last, my darling, after all these
years OF separation we are reunited, he
murmured.
But only to part. Judith Kredge has
denounced me. Oh, Donald, am ac-
cused OF murder" answered Marion, in
a voice of horror.
But it is base lie. We will prove
it So" Stanmore rejoined' encouraS-
ingly.

kindly, gentle tone, Il am as ever your
true friend, but justice in this case

truth of the mystery Of your fate must

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
70 KEEP TIE SILVER ss1GEr.

Various methods are recommended
from time to time for keeping the sill,
yer clean and bright. But few seem
to understand how to pack away silver
plate that is not to be used for some
time. Silver plate should always be
cleaned with prepared whiting made
into thin paste with q little spirits,
of wine and the same quantity OF,
water. When the silver is to be put
away this same mixture should be
carefully rubbed over it with q
chamois leather and the plate envel-
oped in green baise bags, and if kept
in dry place in good box it will be
ready for use at any time, merely re-,
quiring to be carefully busted when
taken out of the bags until all the
white powder is removed.-St LouiS

FIvE-NNUTE GINGERBREAD.

There are a few suggestions which
have occurred to me while have been
reading q number of recipes, and I am
going to pass them on for the benefit
of those who have not had an expert
ence, says teacher of cooking. I was
reading recipe this morning where
some milk was used. If the best re-
suits are to be obtained, never use
soda alone, but take an equal guam
tity of cream of tartar, also be sure
that your milk is firm and solid, not
too sour and therefore watery. Then
some one says "use either kind OF
-four, Eastern or Western" While,
of course, you can use either, you
will find that the Eastern will never
give the excellent results which you
can obtain from the Western, except
when used for gingerbeer and bread.
For gingerbrbread the Eastern is
far superior. Use 2 cups Eastern
-four, / cup molasses, teaspoonful
soda QeveD, teasponful ginger
QeveD, / teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon
Of shortening will give a perfect gin
gerbread, if baked in moderate oven.
If people realized how many preferred
gingerbread to cake for common use
and how much better it was for them,
there would be o great reformation
begun in the line of sweet cake and
pastry, and one of the duties which
take so much of our time would be
done away with. 1t takes me about
five minutes to make this gingerbread
and my family prefer it to ordinary
cake.

cape arrest, Pratt and Weeks reaped
harvest Of ill-gotten gains.
-Stanmore, when he fed from New
York, went to the South African dia-
mond field, where he became fortunate
digger, and soon accumulated modest
fortune. He then became a dealer in
supplies for the mines-a speculator in
claims and broker in diamonds. Sue.
cess followed every venture and he Is
now very wealthy.
Previous to the time of his acquain-
tance with any of the schemes Of Pratt
and Weeks, he was engaged to Marion
Oakburn. When the speculation, OF
which he was the flgurehead put forward
by Pratt and Weeks, failed, and John
Oekburn, who, by Stanmore's advice,
had invested in the unlucky venture,
lost his money, he denounced Stanmore
in round terms, and forbade his daugh-
ter having anything to do with him in
the future. Her father caused Marion
Oakburn to believe for the time that
Stanmore was guilty, and she would not
see him before he fled, and when he
wrote her from the African diamond field,
as he did, she did not answer his letter.
Then, as Stanmore has told me, he
vowed that he would never see her again
until he could place the proofs Of his
honesty and his honor before her.
From having some time later over
heard conversation between Judith
Kredge and Levi, who were formerly, at
the time Stanmore became involved
with them, in the service Of Pratt and
Weeks, Marion learned that she had
,r-,-nrcn6 70
been himself duped and deceived by the
swindlers. Then Marion wrote to Stan
more, addressing him at the African dia-
mond field. This letter he only recently
received, as he had left Africa before it
arrived there, and it was forwarded to
him here"
This was the history Of Stanmore,
given by the chief of police.
