Dundy county.s Excellent Condition.

BENkELMAN, Neb., April 3.-(Special.)-
Early Tuesday morning a strong. northeast
gale, accompanied by snow, sleet and rain at
intervals, fell throughout the day and all
night. While the weather was not severely
cold, 1t was disagreeable and bad on I'M
sheltered stock, nevertheless it brought lots
OF moisture and will benefit the spring wheat,
of which much has been sown the past two
weeks, and will also furnish abundant mois-
ture for farmers to prepare oats, barley and
alfalfa ground. The people here are active
this spring and farm work is we'll advanced
by the determined worker, while gardening
is also under headway.
On the various irrigation bitches in this
county much work is being done at present
putting them in good order to re-
ceive water If needed at any time and If
there is any possible show and a favorable
season old Dundy county will stand up at
the rear of Nebraska with a tremendous
crop, and Benkelman will continue to wear
the belt as the best town between Hastings
and Denver. Commercial travellers today ex-
press surprise at the great business activity
displayed here, besides, this place ships to
our eastern and western markets more pro-
duce, such as butter and eggs, and more cat
tie and hogs than any town of its size on the
B. & M. system.

Principal w. w. Boner OF wayne took
for his subject practical Course of Study"
He outlined succinctly the principles which
Should govern the adoption of a course of
study from the time when a child first en-
tiers the school and is taught obedience and
application until his body, mind and soul
have beea developed by education. In lay
Ing down such a course more attention
should be paid TO the individual than the
class. The paper was well received and the
discussion which followed was practical in
It's nature.
Mrs. A. X. Goudy Of Lincoln read the clos
Ing paper on Ends and Means in Teaching
Drawing She ranked II equally with lam
guage and sciences as training the mind and
quickening the powers Of observation. Art
instruction should begin with language in
struction.
Under the efficient management of Pres
dent Calvin and Secretary Edith Bachelor
the association has been very profitable and
successful.

FASHION NOTES.

In capes the richness of material
and the combinations of coloring are
something marvellous.
Light gray and tan, a bright blue,
heliotrope, warm brown and green
all are favorite colors this season.
White satin spotted with black
makes pretty waists when trimmed
with red and black Russian embroi-
derry.
ANY amount of black and yellow
wood ilk" braids are in reuuisition
their brlliiuncy reminding one of
spun glass
Full ruches and colIarettes are on
all the capcs, but are now made de-
tachable, SO that they can be worn by
themselves.
AS predicted some few weeks ago
the tide of favor is turning toward the
handsome floral, oriental and novelty
designs IN wrap print ribbons.
Bows for the neck have not dimin-
lshed i'll popularity, and for belts rich
and fancy ribbons are employed, the
chine pattern being possibly the favor
tie.
Fancy ribbons are occupying SO
much attention that plain ribbons, ex-
cept in black double satin, are some
what neglected. Later these will re-
ceive more attention.
Some very handsome effects are
seen in the natural color batiste
waists. One pattern shows delicate
open insertion running down the front
and around the collar and cuffs
The introduction of lacelke plalt-
ings and tibrous cocoa braids adds
greatly to the airlness and GOODNESS of
hats, and certainly renders them
lighter weight coverings for the
head.
Combined jackets and capes are ex-
pected to appear, a divided cape TAX
ing the form of sleeves. Such
garments are of cloth, or of cloth and
velvet, the latter forming the cape.
Embroidery and braiding trim the
sleeves and collar.
At this season the shops display
great quantities of natural ecru pom
gee at extremely low prices. 1t is we'll
to take advantage of this, for, besides
making the coolest and most delight
tui gowns Tor Summer wear, pongea is
al ideal fabric for cnildren's clothes
md tatiIes' underskirts.

VARIOUS USES OF SALT.

One pint of fine salt mixed with two
plnts Of wood ashes and mixed with
water will mend cracks in stoves.
When clinkers accumulate in the CRATE,
throw In a handful of salt, let stand
few minutes and they will be easily
removed.
A teaspoonful added to the water
III which cut flowers are placed will
preserve them for a considerable time,
and little rubbed on the griddles be-
fore greasing will prevent cakes from
sticking. Damp salt will remove the
dlscoloratlons caused by tea on cups
and saucers; if sprinkled Immediately
over any spot where something has
boiled over on the stove, there will be
no odor, and the spot will be easily
cleaned. A teaspoonful put in a
kerosene lamp will make the oil give
brighter light, and small pinch
added to the starch will prevent it
sticking to the irons. If your ingram
carpet looks dingy sprinkle little
salt over it and let it lie for at least
five minutes, then sweep it thoroughly
and you will be surprised how much
brighter it will look.
One of the best things for cleaning
brass is salt dissolved in vinegar. Cot
ton fabrics are less likely to fade if
allowed to lie for short time in
strong solution of salt and water.
Sprinkle damp salt around where
there are moths and they will
speedily take their departure.
If small pinch is added to the
whites of eggs they will frost quickly.
Small doses given at sho TT intervals
will stop hemorrhage of the lungs, for
stings or bites Of any kind of insects
apply it damp and bind tightly; for
neuralgia or severe pains in the stom-
ach, fill muslin bag, heat it and lay
it against the aching place.
II the throat is very sore, wiring a
cloth out of cold salt water and bind
around the neck, covering with dry
| towel; weak solution gargled will
also help the throat. A sponge bath in
salt water will arrest night sweats,
and if used cold is one of the best So
| buttons for restoring tirmness of the
flesh !; battle the face upward and then
wipe dry. One-half teaspoonful
dissolved in little water will almost
instantly relieve dyspepsia, or cure
collie IN grown person.
Two teaspoonsful in about a half
pint of tepid water will act as an emet-
ic, or if snuffed up the nostrils will
relieve cold in the head or catarrh.
Salt should be eaten with nuts to
aid digestion. Home Queen.

AN ARC TIC BABY.

The Arctic ocean doesn't seem to be-
the most de!cctublc place for a birthplace
But baby was born there not long ago

Herschcl island is off the north coast
of Alaska, 800 miles farther north than
Sitka. There are a few white people on
the island, families of the whalers who
cruise in thrSe waters. There was great
excitement over the arrival of the little

MENDS ALMOST ANYTHING,

can excellent Gem ent for mending
almost anything" said an experienced
housewife recently, ''may be made by
mixing together litharge and glycer-
Inc to the consistency of thick cream
or fresh putty. The cement is useful
for mendlng stone jars or any coarse
earthenware, stopping leaks in seams
of TIN pans or wash boilers, cracks
and holes in iron kettles. etc 1t may
also be used to fasten on lamp tops, or
tighten loose nuts, to secure loose bolts
whose nuts are lost, to tighten loose
joints of wood or iron, or in many
other ways about the various kitchen
utensils, the range, sink, and in the
pantry fittings In all cases the ar
tlcle mendod should not be used until
the cement is hardened, which will
require from one day to a week, ac-
cording to the quantity used. This
cement will resist the action of water,
hot or cold, acids, and almost any
degree of heat.

The correct boot to wear with the
spring walking costume IS of fine kid
or patent leather, with tops to match
the color of the gown. If the fash

have boots to match every gown black
satin tops will be permissible, and may
be worn with almost any gown. 1t

CATERS are rapidly coming into fash

the usual materials, with the addition,
however, of large bows and jeweled
buckles. Ribbon bows and rosettes
are Of the amplest proportions, and
the brilliant buckles will form pretty
ornaments for small feet.
In hosiery the styles closely CORE
spond. Stockings to be worn with the
low slippers have upon the instep a
diamond-shaped pattern, either prot
tily embroidered in silk or in open
work style. Silk hose are more popu-
lar than ever, yet but few are seen in
plain colors. Though the lower half
of the stocking may be black the up
per half is invariably of some light
color Hosiery of fine linen shows
the same gully contrasting hues.
Clocks are strikingly prominent on
all the newer styles, and are always
of different color from the stocking
itself. Black stockings are clicked in
scarlet or pale blue, and light stock
ings are clicked in black. Even the
simple brown stockings to be worn
with russell are clicked in white, and
the lower half is often plaided off in
white Paided stockings, in all col
ors, are perhaps the climax Of the new
styles.

WOMANs SENSE OF SMELL,

Most persons have different percep-
tons of colors in tho two eyes and
have IL greater power of perceiving
some color. The only absolutely non
blind person whom Mr.. Low
bond has met is a woman. He at
tributes the greater sensitiveness to
color partly to an innate faculty and
partly to education. The superiority
of women in this respect is interesting
as recent researches by French savants
have proved that, as regards the sense
of smell, women are much less sensi-
tive than men.-Chambers' journal.

HEADACHE FROM HATS.

How anxious people always are to
find fault with something or other
about women's clothes? A gentleman

sentiments. l will conclude by quot
ing them at length.

by several married ladies, who say
they suffer from a peculiarly irritable
kind of headache, which has COM
menced to trouble them recently.
The husbands of nearly all of them
told me privatel Y that never had they
found their wives SO dlsagreeably
snappish; everything seemed to annoy
them, especially when they had their
hats on. | asked to see the articles
and found them to be very much alike
large structures of straw, with
masses of flowers and ribbons tower
ing high into the air. The weight is
itself too heavy for the delicate cram
ium of woman, but worst of all is
the anxiety a lady must feel in keep
ing such thing properly poised on
her head.
''Of course, | prescribed the usual
remedies for what they called the mi
graine, but strongly advised them to
put aside such headccar and wear light

did and were completely cured other,

and disagreeable every day. And is it
to be wondered at? Who can calculate
the amount of worry to man with a
tall hat on windy day? If we were
not a strong Drained people our asy-
lums wyuld have been full long ago
from that very cause. Women are
not able to bear the same strain sue

nestle, even moral and mental, disas-
ter can ensue. New York Mail and

FASHIONS IN FOOTWEAR.

Footgear for the coming season Of
fers some striking innovations. A
study of the new styles in boots re-
veals among other important facts the
vanishing of the pointed toe. The
common sense" standard has not Vet
been accepted by the leaders of style,
yet the toes of the new spring boots
and shoes are conspicuously broad.
Extension soles are used, though the
stitching is not allowed to show. And
the heels, in ali varieties OF shoes, are
of the straight English riding boo
rather than the military style. Heel,
ill general are appreciabiy higher.

of the finger, or even larger. In these
ugly holes glass, silver, gold or jeweled
