is most appropriate. Don't put ribbons
on to tie it either, but make a leather
band, with button on one end and a
rubber loop and buttonhole on the
other, so that it can be easily fastened,
or a broad silk elastic band will do
nicely. Men do not like to tie and unite
ribbons. If the cover is of leather it
should look as much like book as pos
sible.
Make the decorations quite simple,
and do not forget to mark each en-
velope with the name of the month, the
receipts of which it is Intended to hold.
A variety of suggestions as to styles
of covering will occur to the minds of
those undertaking the work, but the
use of durable envelopes and the meth
cd of fastening them together with tape
or bands of linen are two essential
points to be observed if the case is to
be really successful, as ordinary envel-
opes wear out quickly. and when prop
erly bound the whole thing keeps in
much better shape and the envelopes
turn more freely like the pages of
book, when handled.-Boston Globe.

FILE FOR RECEIPTS.

An Appropriate and Easily Made Gift
for Man or Woman.
A convenient and appropriate gift
for either man or woman can be made
very simply and will prove exceedingly
useful.
Twelve heavy envelopes, bound to-
gether and covered with a suggestive
outside case, will make receptacle
for each months receipts, and file them
away in such order that they may be
referred to at a moments notice, dur
ing a whole year. The best and most
durable envelopes for this purpose are
the heavy brown paper ones, or those
linen lined, used often for legal docu-
ments.
These may be just tied together with
narrow ribbon, if one does not wish to
regularly bind them, but it is much
better to glue narrow strip of linen
to each envelope and sew them all light
ly together, after which the cover
should be attached. The style of this
latter should depend upon the probable
preference of the one for whom the
gift is intended. A dainty embroidered
linen cover with ribbons to tie makes
a pretty finish for the nicely-appointed
desk of "milady" who perhaps has Dres-
den fittings.
In this case the cover might be en-
broddered in Dresden design and tied
with blue ribbons, or a heavy paper
can be painted in water color in the
same way. If this file is intended for
business mans desk, heavy brown
linen cover, or one of leather or chamods

COFFEE DESSERTS.
They Are Not Only Delicious, But Very
Easily Prepared.

They Are Not Only Delicious, Bat Very
Easily Prepared.
Coffee is the most delicious f1avoring
for summer desserts. The essence of
coffee, which is used, is easily pre-
pared, but should always [oe fresh. The
secret of havoring with coffee lies in
having this essence so fresh and pure
that it has the delicious aroma of a
cup of good coffee. Take tablespoon
full of the best coffee, freshly ground,
and put it in small saucepan with
a cup of cold water. Let the fluid boil
until it is reduced to about two table
spoonfuls- Strain it through a cloth,
pressing it well; let it cool, and it is
ready for use.
A coffee mousse" is most delicious
iced dessert, and is prepared without
the trouble in freezing which an ice
cream involves. This mousse is made
as follows: Put two cupfuls of sweet,
rich cream in a bowl. Fill a pan with
chopped ice, place the bowl in the pan,
and begin to beat the cream with a fine
wire whip. Beat slowly at first, then
faster, until it is a fine, firm froth.
When it is all frothed, add two table
spoonfuls Of powdered sugar and three
tablespoonfuls of coffee essence, and
mousse in a long, slender mold, and
cover it tightly, sealing the edge of
the cover with mutton tallow, and
pack it away in a pail covered with
cracked ice and rock salt. Three quarts
of salt are sufficient for a pailful of ice
The mousse should be packed away
for about six hours. If the mold is
large in diameter, it may be opened
once and the frozen parts removed
from the sides with knife. If the mold
is slender, it should be left undisturbed.
A coffee mousse makes most attractive
desert if served with clear red sherry
ice heapsd around it.
For coffee custard, boil a quart of
milk and add two tafolespoonfuls of
coffee essence. Add five yolks of eggs
and two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar. Stir the mixture well, and
strain it; pour it into custard cups, and
set them in pan with boiling water
to half the height of the cups. Place
the pan over a slow fire, and let the
water boil gently for 20 minutes. When
the custards are set, remove. tn EN- from
the fire and set them in the water.
Serve them in the cups.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-By the de-

SENATOR DUBOIS BEATEN.
Henry Heltfeld, a POpulist, Elected
United States Senator.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 29.-Henry Heit-
field, Populist, was elected United
States senator to succeed Senator Du-
bois. The vote stood: Heitfeld 80,
Dubois 30, L. +. Nelson l. Fourteen
Democrats joined the Populists for
Heitfeld, and he also received the vote
of the single Republican member
Four Democrats went to Dubois.
Henry Heitfeld is man of limited
education. He was born in st. Louis
in January, 1859. His father, Henry
Heitfeld, was of German birth. The
future Idaho Senator attended the
common schools of st. Louis until 1870.
when, with his mother, he moved to
Seneca, Kan. He lived there until
1882, being employed at farm work and
learning the trade of stonemason. In
1882 Mr.. Heitfeld moved to the north
west, Locating at Pomeroy, Wash. For
time he worked in the shops of the
Northern Pacific railroad at Sprague,
Wash, remaining there until the fall
of 1888, when he became resident of
Nez Perces county, Idaho. Since that
time he has been engaged as a farmer,
fruit grower and cattleman. In poll
tics Mr.. Heitfeld was a Democrat until
he joined the Populist party. He is a
member Of the Farmers Alliance and
1T was Through his connection with
that organization that he was infiu-
enced to ally himself with the Populist
party. He was elected to the-state
Senate as Populist in 1894 and again
