The sewing machine, one of the great
est blessings in the way Of machines
ever offered the public, sold for years
at sixty dollars in the United States.
The same machine, however, TO be
shipped to foreign land, could be
purchased below twenty dollars. After
the patents ran out the price fell
rapidly until now sowing machines are
sold for twenty-five dollars and often
below twenty dollars. The sewing
machine manufacturers became inn
mensely rich from their profits of
several hundred per cent. II has
been estimated that typewriting ma
chimes cost less than twenty dollars to
build, while they sell for from fifty
dollars to one hundred dollars each.
II is generally understood that IN
agreement exists whereby these high
prices arc maintained Business men
are compelled to pay from three hun
dred to flve hundred per cent. profit
or go without the machines.
Are there any other machines which
yield such profits as the sewing ma
chine did for years, and the type
writing machine has and does, except
it be the bicycle?

Now for Tallow Soap.

As this is the time of year that many
farmer women make soap of the tallow
scraps and rinds of pork that have ac-
eumulated through the winter, would
like them to have the benefit of my
soap recipe. 1t is composed of six
pounds sal soda, three pounds of
stone lime and seven pounds clear
grease. That is, the grease must be
free of bones and meat; but 1 have
made it of scraps and rinds by adding
little more than seven pounds strain
ing the soap, while hot, after it is
made.
Put the lime and soda in six gallons
soft water and let it boil up good,
then pour it all into tub and let set
tie over night. In the morning pour
all the clear liquid back into the ket.
tie, being careful not to get any Of the
sediment in. Now add the grease and
boil until it is about as thick as
strained honey. 1 always try it by
cooling little in q dish. If It be.
comes solid enough to turn out in a
cake, it is ready to turn back into
your tub, but first be sure your tub is
perfectly cleaned from the lime and
soda Let stand over night again,
where it will not freeze, then cut out
in good sized cakes and put to dry.
This soap made from clear mutton
tallow is very nice for people TO use
who are troubled with cracked or
chapped hands, aud it makes nice
toilet soap by adding some perfumery
just before it has boiled enough.
This recipe was given to me by a
friend several years ago whose father
is physician. She told me that il
there was any of the soap in the house
made with mutton tallow, he used to
always puta piece in his pocket when
he was called on to attend a child
birth, to wash the newborn babe with.
1t is some trouble to make this soap,
but we have very few good things in
this world without a little trouble to
get them.-New England Homestead,

Summer Fanoles in Parasols.

There is no question of keeping off
the sun by means of the parasols with
which the summer girl is filling her
trunks for the coming campaign. Her
aim is simply to make her costume as
fluffy and highly colored as possible,
and the parasol is decidedly an aid in
accomplishing the general effect.
One of the most gorgeous of the sea-
son is the "sunburst" parasol, which
is a mass of elaborate fiuting. Then
there is the parasol composed entirely
of chiffon and ruffled from centre to
edge. Only shade less elaborate is
the design of brocaded silk or satin,
lined with contrasting shade, and
decorated with frills Of chiffon, punches
of artificial flowers, or now and then 9
group of ostrich tips
A particularly popular fancy is tha'
the morning parasols shall match tn,
shirt waist with which they are worn
as the summer girl still clings to tn,
most comfortable morning costum,
which she has ever known. Thus
the new parasols are made of Cham
bray, linen, muslin and null, and ar,
prettily lined with silk of becoming
shades. The number of these daint,
articles necessary to the summer girl
outfit has not yet been computed.

DIR. Clarence Loveberry, the curator
of the Ohio Archaeological and Histori-

cothe for week exploring the mounds
in that locality, has made what he con-
siders a very important discovery.
In mound 200 feet long by forty
high the workmen came upon the
skeleton of prehistoric woman. The
body was five feet long and the bones
well preserved, considering the fact
that they had been buried hundreds of
years. The body had been buried in
some coarse fabric, shreds of which
still chung to the bones. 1t had also
beep wrapped in bark.
1t had evidently been a person of
rank, for around the neck was a string
of beads, and the left arm was covered
from shoulder to wrist with strings of
beads made from gulf shells. Through
one of these the string still remained
intact. There was also a quantity of
mica flakes about the skeleton.

one out Of every four was believed to have
been made insane by his own Incorporate

Massachusetts has local option law, un-
der which the cities and towns vote annu-
ally upon the licensing OF saloons. Ono
branch OF the bureaus investigation was
directed TO ascertaining the relative amount
Of drunkenness in places where the saloons
were closed, and in those where they were
open. In the no license cities and towns
the arrests for drunkenness were only
about one-fourth, and for ofIenses other
than for drunkenness, less than half as
many per thousand of the population as in
license cities and towns. In tho five cities
which were for part Of the year under no
license, the licensed months showed nearly
three times as many arrests for drunken
ness, on the average, as the no license
months
These statistics, taken as n whole, seem
not only to establish a close connection be-
tween the liquor traffic and crime, pau
perism and insanity, but to show also a con-
siderable curtailment of these evils when
the saloons are closed.-Farm News.

Poi, which always takes a promi-

which have been written of Hawaiian
life, is being imported into this coun-

been served in hotels and private
houses at Honolulu, where it is used
as cornstarch or cornmeal. 1t is said
to be very delicious and nourishing.

Women in HortIcuIture.

According to the census of 1890 there
were 312 commercial greenhouses, or
about one in fifteen, owned and man
aged by women. We have a personal
acquaintance with several women who
are successful retail florists. Other
women to our knowledge are making a
success of raising carnations and other
flowers for the wholesale trade. These
people soon learn that the business of
raising and selling flowers is beset by
much care and labor that does not come
under the head of poetry. And yet
nearly all women florists that we have
met were led into the business because
they first of all loved flowers. 1t adds
to the delight and success of any occu-
patton if one has love therefor. There
is no question that, as a rule, women
have Il greater fondness than men for
flowers; why therefore should they not
engage in growing and handling them
for profit. The rougher work about
flower raising, such as the care of
greenhouse furnaces, the handling of
soil and manure, and the like, can
easily be done by men who work for
moderate wages. If women are sue
cessful as florists they are equally 80 as
raisers of vegetables and small fruits,
especially strawberries; they direct the
rougher work, help to prepare the pro-
duce for customers, and perhaps take
in hand the selling, thus keeping
closely to touch with the state of the
market. Generally speaking, we think
that the raising of strawberries near
our best markets is further from being
overdone than that of almost any other
kind of produce. The consumption
is enormous, and fresh fruit brought
quickly from the fields, without a large
distance intervening, always will sell
considerably higher than fruit long
from vines that has been shipped
Much of the work of picking and hand
ling small fruits is well suited to b,
done by women. Vick's Magazine.

Zip, claret sangaree, etc, and are ordered
by young girls for a cold, to take the place
OF a luncheon, or for a chance to sit down
and rest after tiresome day at shopping.
These drinks ali contain large quantities OF
alcohol, and while the girls would spurn a
glass OF whisky, or hold up their hands in
horror at the thought Of rum or brandy
yet IN their soda-fountain beverages they
get all the effect OF the liquor and the
growing appetite thrown In. The w. c. T.
