AN ENTERPRlSlNG WOMAN.
Mrs. Strong introduced the Pampas Plume
Into Politics.

Mrs. Strong introduced the Pampas Plume
Into Politics.
To the inventive mind of shrewd Cali
fornia woman is due the credit for origi-
mating the pampas plume emblem which
Mr.. Hanna has so strongly Endorsed for
use by the Republicans in this campaign.
She is Mrs. H. W. r. Strong, the owner of
q walnut ranch near Los Angeles. Mrs
Strong is n business woman of much abil-
ity. She is the president of a local associa-
ton of walnut growers and Of the Bust
ness League of America.
She has an orchard of walnut trees $50
acres in extent, and of this Il part is plant
ed with young trees which require num-
Der of years more growth before they begin
to bear. Most nut growers utilize the
space in young orchards to raise corn on,
but Mrs. Strong thought she would try
pampas plumes. She planted 20 acres with
the grass and sold her first crop of plumes
for So, 900. The second year she raised and
sold 81, 900 worth of plumcs, which by far
discounted the efforts of her corn raising
neighbors. But the third year she found
that spectators had ruined the European
market, upon which pampas plume raisers
relied, and that there was but little de-
mand in this country for the beautiful,
feathery plumes. Her crop of 800, 900
plumes remained unsold.
Then Mrs. Strong, instead Of abandon
ing her project and raising col n, set about

The Revival of ottomans.


Upholsterers are making a renewed
and strong effort to introduce ottomans
again, according to The Decorator and
Furnisher, which enumerates some Of
their good points: They are especially
adaptable where space is limited. They
take the place of a chair and may be
utilized for various other purposes.
Those seen recently are round and about
the height of low chair. They were
upholstered with tapestries of different
styles and colors, some combining two
harmonizing colors. A heavy, deep
fringe. to correspond with the body OF
the material, finished the top.
Those intended for a bedroom may be
made additionally valuable if the foun-
dation is boxlike structure with lid.
A cushioned top forms a comfortable
seat, and within can be utilized for
many useful purposes. By all means
they should have casters. A small tufted
mattress filled with hair made to fit the
top is easily adjustable, and the inside
of the lid can be made available, with
either pocket tackled on or strips of
tape at regular intervals to tie things
up to it. If made at home, odds and
ends Of material from the scrapbag
will be found handy to cover with, as
only little is required.

Canning and Preserving Fruit.

Peaches, ounces and pears should be
pared thinly and halved or quartered.
The stones and skins of peaches can be
boiled in the water to be used for strip
and strained before adding the sugar.
The cores and skins Of ounces can be
used in the same way, making rich
colored sirup. Small pears are often
canned without peeling. Plums should
be pricked with a large needle to pre-
vent the skins from bursting.
Preserved fruit is richer than canned,
requiring more sugar and less cooking.
The fruit should be cooked in porce-
lain lined kettle in the strip and then
filled into jars. Peaches. pears, plums
and ounces are more likely to lose their
shape and to acquire different flavor
than canned fruit has
In addition to the foregoing items
from Good Housekeeping is CLEANED the
following: When ready to fill the jars,
wrap hot, wet cloth around the jar or
set it in a pan half full of hot water.
Fill to the brim with fruit and strip in
equal quantities. Put on the rubber and
fasten the cover on tightly. A large
mouthed funnel and a glass or tin cup
arc necessary in filling the jars.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Novelties In Cut Glass and Their Pretty
Imitation Preserving Fruit.
A Buffers Duties.

Lamps of cut glass are especially
beautiful. Every part of them except
the burner is made of glass; The burner
is of solid silver or aluminium, SO that
the whole effect is remarkably pure and
glistening These lamps come in all
sizes, from the tall piano lamp to the
tiny affair that burns in my lady's
chamber all night to scare away bad
dreams. The smaller lamps have globes
of cut glass, but the piano lamps have
great shades of silver tinsel and white
silk, with crystal pendants dangling
from the edges.
A sala,! bowl is cut in simple yet
rich pattern and has a rim Of silver.
The fork and spoon which accompany it
have cut glass handles and are made Of
silver. Salad forks and spoons with
glass handles are something quite new,
and the set would make an artistic and
handsome wedding gifE
A butter dish is of the clcarest crys-
tai, with no cutting save on the bottom.
1t has silver rim and silver handles,
which close over the dish on inges and
hold the butter, or can be opened, thus
transforming the dish into Donbon
holder if necessary.
When cut glass leaves the manutac.
tory, it rivals the diamond in brilliancy.
but unless it is carefully looked after
dust accumulates in the cuttings and
hardens SO that no amount of ordinary
washing will remove it, and in the end
it causes the article to have very un.
clean, dim appearance. The glass should
be washed at least once week, even
when not in use, in warm, not hot,
water, which has been softened by a
little borax or ammonia, then rinsed
again in warm water and buried, while
still wet, in a box or barrel Of fine saw
dust, where it should be left for few
hours until perfectly dry. Then the
sawdust should be removed with soft
bristle brush.
The Standard Designer, which de-
scribes the foregoing imported novelties
and their care, also remarks upon the
successful imitation of cut glass in
cheap and petty wares, from which the
real is distinguished by the sharpness
of its outline and the depth of its cut

rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal

We have testimonials from leading phys

Among the latest is one from Professor

thing else. If he does not keep it, order di-
rectly from us.

Success Of Mckinley in Indiana
Sets the Cabinet Makers
to Work.
In One List John Sherman Is
to Be Secretary of

This Presupposes Reed For Vice
PreSident--Merriam Also
in 1t.

ST. PAUL, May IA Cleveland O.,
special to the Pioneer Press says: The
Mckinley victory in Indiana on Thurs
day was followed by the most impor-
tant gathering Of Mckinley leaders
that has been held in Cleveland since
the first state convention this spring.
Ex-Governor Will am R. Merriam Of
Minnesota, who IS regarded as the com.
ing representative of the Northwest in
the NICK n.ey administration; General
Charles Grosvenor, the chief Mckinley
engineer in Washington; Judge A. Q.
Thompson of the Portsmouth district,
who has charge Of all the contested
delegation matters where Mckinley
delegates are involved; Colonel Myron
T. Herrick and NJ. a. Hanna met in the
latter's Office during the morning and
there awaited the arrival Of ex-Gov-
ernor Mckinley and his brother Abner,
who came up from Canton on the Val
ley road at noon. The party went
directly to the Union club, where the
conference continued until 8 o'clock,
although General Grosvenor had ex-
pected to get away at 80 in the after.
noon.
The situation was very thoroughly
gone into.
NICK nley's Cabinet Slate.
From inside sources it is learned that
McKinley's cabinet slate includes the
following:
Secretary of state, John Sherman,
Ohio; war, Henry Clay Evans, Tennes-
see; agriculture, John w. Gowdy. In
diana; interior, Ex-Governor Merriam,
Minnesota; attorney general, Horace
Porter. New York; treasury, NJ. A.
Hanna, Ohio; navy, NJ. H. DeYoung,
California: postmaster general, Gilbert
H. Hobart, New Jersey.
1t is pretty evident that the McKin.
ley people are banking on Reed for the
second place on the ticket. In case he
does not accept it, it is altogether prob
able that he will be in line for secretary
Of state, and in that event Sherman
will be given the treasury portfolio.
