FASHION NOTES,

Wires are not required in the latest
shaped sleeveg.
Some of the new parasols have very
unique handles of crystal.
In jewelry the emerald is at present
the queen.of precious stones.
Petunia and apple green are tho
predominating shades in everything.
Grenadines are mostly made up over
colored silks and used for drossy oc.
casions.
Quantities of flowers and foliage are
used, and the ambition is to get as
many kinds of flowers on hat as pos
sible.
III millinery two contrasting shades
of tulle, one laid over the other, are
often used to give the changeable
effect.
Jeweled passementeries and trim
mings of all sorts find their place on
almost every gown, and also on man
ties and hats.
American beauty roses, interspersed
with lilies of the valley, make the
combination for summer hat that is
much admired.
White gowns are to be worn more
than ever this season for informal as
well as dressy occasions, and these are
accompanied by white hats, shoes and
pGrasols.
Some of the leading dressmakers
are directing their efforts for change
in fashion toward the dreaded hustle,
and some of the newest gowns are
padded on the hips and at the back.
Knife plating has come around
again. Narrow rutiles of this sort ap

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CARE OF THE REFR1aERAroa.

Have care about the cleanliness of
your refrigerator. They very easily
become fouled, and the servant who
likes TO clean one isn't born yet.
Every morning of the world the re-
frigerator and ice box should be
wiped out clean and dry with clean
cloth that has been dipped in ammo
MIA water. Once week q thorough
scalding should be administered, using
boiling water with ammonia in il. 1t
is impossible to use an ice.box con-
stantly and not drop tiny specks of
cream or butter or of meat, and within
a few hours decay sets in and the odor
taints everything in the box. The
very dampness of the box becomes
Shiny within twelve hours. If you
will watch this you will find that you
can keep the milk sweet fully six hours
longer, TO say nothing of the whole
someness of all the other things in the
box.-Washington Star.

A Strange Coincidence.

Austin Corbin, who was killed in
the runaway accident at Newport, N.
H., was of Connecticut stock, his
father having been born at Somers.
Conn. DIR. l.. e. Richardson, OF
Hartford, and Austin Corbin were
schoolboys together, both having been
born in that town and resided there
until they reached manhood. DR..
Richardson, in speaking of his old
schoolmate, related an incident of
especial interest, in view of the cause
of the death of Mr.. Cofbin. AS has
been stated in the accounts of last
Thursdays accident, the Corbin home
stead is located on a hill, the town
roadway being at O base along the
side of Sugar River. A somi-circular
driveway leads from the house to the
road. In being driven down to the
roadway the horses started, throwing
the occupantS of the carriage against
a stonewall Mr.. Corbin and his
coachman were killed. When Austin
Corbin was boy of sixteen he was
run away with by horse down the
same driveway and thrown against the
stone wall. One leg was fractured in
two places, and his head aud body
were badly bruised. He was attended
by DIR. John L. Sweet, with whom Dr.
Richardson aiterward studied, ant
who is still in Practioe-a at Newport, a
the age Of eighty-six. Young CorbiI
was thought to be fatally hurt, but re
covered after being disabled for {
long time. Hartford Comm Times

KITCHEN CHAT.

All cooks do not understand tho dif-
ferent effects produced by hard and
soft water cooking meats and vege-
tables, says the Home Queen. Peas
and beans cooked in hard water con-
tanning lime or gypsum will not boil
good and tender because these sub
stances harden vegetable caseine. Many
vegetables, like onions, boil nearly
tasteless in soft water, because all the
flavor is boiled out. The addition of
salt often checks this, as in the case of
onions, causing the vegetables to retain
the peculiar favoring principles be-
sides such nutritious matter as might
be lost in soft water. For extracting
the Juice of meat to make q broth or
soup soft water, unsalted and cold at
first, is best, for it much more readily
penetrates the tissue; but for boiling
where the juices are to be retained
hard water or soft salted water is
preferable, aud the meat should be
put in while the water is boiling, 50
that the pores may be sealed up at
once. -

A Romance of the West.

When Jack Harris was mustered ont
OF the army at Fort Leavenworth in
1865, he had Sl69 pay coming to him.
An auction sale OF mules was in prog
ress and he invested the greater part
of his money in five big animals and
nfterwar lpicked up wagon and somo
harness.
Then he drove to Franklin County,
where he traded part of his plunder for
eighty acres of land. He kept two
mules and the wagon and became u
freigbter.
One evening when he had unloaded
at Ottawa lot of stuff which he had
hauled from Kansas City, it was sug-
gested to him that he might get a job
of hauling from O young man who
had bought lot and was preparing to
put up store building, He struck
the stranger for the work and secured
it, hauling goods and lumber for him
from Lawrence.
The stranger was a liberal sort OF O
man, and the future candidate for
Congress was greatly pleased with
him. One day he drove to his faith
er's farm and greeted his sister with :
''Sister, I've found q fellow for
you'll"
"Oh, go of, Jack !" the young girl
said, 81 want no fellow"
About year afterward he took his
friend out to the farm to visit over
Sunday. Sure enough, young Harris
had guessed it right, and the young
storekeeper and "sister" after a while
made match of 1t.

zontal cylinders, the vertical blast
nozzle in the smokestack and a tubular
boiler, and that by this combination

Stephenson was not the author of tho
iron rail, nor OF the idea of q steam
driven vehicle running upon iron rails
and carrying its own water and fuel,
These leading features were present in
the earlier engine of rrevithick. Had

severance which was SO stong char

that he, and not Stephenson, would

CLEANING GILT MIRROR FRAMES. .

For cleaning gilt mirror frames tho
following is good recipe: Boil some
onions, barely covered with water, till
quite soft; pour off the water and
wash the frames with it; then cover
them with n newspaper TO keep the
dust from them until they are quite
dry. This makes them bright and
clear and is a most inexpensive pro-
cess. After having cleaned the frames
the mirrors will want attention. To
remove fly marks, put some ball blue
on slightly damp cloth and rub the
glass hard. This will efface the stain
and brighten the glass. 1t can after
ward be polished with newspaper. The
ugly marks which appear on dllapidated
looking glasses mean that the silver
ing at the back has worn off in places
To renew this take half an ounce of
tin, three ounces OF bismuth and half

Intelligence of Bees.

An instance of the intelligence of
bees amounting almost to reasoning,
is related by mining man, Malcolm
McLeish. He is engaged at an aban.
doned mine in this county cyaniding
the old taiings, the plant including
several tanks of water strongly inn
pregnated with cyanide of potassium.
On the beginning of operations, bees,
of swarms that had left the valley,
came in from the mountains to the
water. For three days they died by
thousands of the water from the tanks.
There was one tank of fresh water,
however, that was untainted. After
three days the bees continue to come
in large numbers, but they all avoided
the cyanide tanks. Not one would go
there, and, of course, no more died.
Their dead comrades proved lesson
and thus they score another on the in
