Canned Goods.

Cases of poisoning from tho use of can
ned goods arise with sufficient frequency
to keep alive the suspicion that such food
will bear watching at least Salmon and
.ther fish seem particularly productive of
trouble after being canned. Timed chick
en- and dried beef have recently been the
cause of serious Illness In two separated
communities. Upon examination in these
instances a germ sufficiently virulent to
kill rats and guinea pigs was found. While
it Is not necessary perhaps to be unduly
alarmed over these isolated cases, it is well
to observe caution and to examine closely
the appearance and flavor of any canned
food before using it. Almost any germ Is
killed in the cooking, and it Is an excel
lent plan to heat thoroughly all timed
food, even If it must be cooled again before
being served. Pouring boiling water over
dried beef will wash it and make it tender
without materially injuring its flavor. It
may be quickly dried in the oven.

An Odd Chainless Wheel.

Among the most striking novelties in
complete cycles at the New York cycle
show was machine imported from
England by a prominent Brooklyn
tradesman. It is a chainless wheel, but
front driving. The general appearance
of its frame is that of the old ordinary,
or high wheel, but it's saddle height is
no greater than that of the common
safety. 1t has front wheel about 80
inches in diameter and rear one Of
about 90. The rear wheel trails from a
curved backbone of the same style made
familiar by the ordinary. There is no
rake to the front forks They run sheer
up to the steering head. The handle bars
are curved first outward and then back
ward, SO as to be Immediately above the
forks. The saddle is on the spine, as in
the ordinary, and the cranks are attach
ed to the axle, SO that there is slight
forward thrust. The gearing, which is
of the spur variety, is incased in a
metal box. This is the first specimen of
this machine ever seen in this country,
but in England they have been ON the
market for several years. They are the
product of veteran manufacturer, who
finds q ready sale for his output New

Fancy Buckles.

Fancy buckles are very import
ant element of dress just at present,
>and, while they are in all sorts OF
shapes and sizes, one of the prettiest
styles for the narrow belt is in the
form of two large enamelled and
jewelled buttons clasped together.
Jewelled oxidized buckles and silver
buckles set with turquoise are very
popular, as well as all the varieties
in Russian enamel. Added to this
glittering array of buckles are the
metal belts studded with gems and
the new leather belts, finer and much
more elegant as to buckle than they
were last season.

A little bit of municipal reform is
apparently needed in Chicago. The Chi

said that Chicago was the dirtiest
large city in the world except Constan-
tinOple, the truth was so palpable to
those present that they were filed with
pity and disgust-over Constantinople.

False Pretenses and Bad Faith.

New York Times, (Gold.)
If President Mckinley's message
and Mr.. Dingley's tariff bill had been
put before the people three days
before the election of last November
they would have put the sound
money cause and the honor Of the
nation in the gravest peril.
The Democratic votes which elected
Mr.. Mckinley were won and kept by
false pretenses. He was elected to
defend the financial stability of the
country, and he has 10 defensive
measures to propose. He was not
elected to revise the tariff, but his
first act is to force upon the country
tariff that is fragrant in its protec-
tive atrocities
An administration which starts off
with an act of bad faith toward the
whole people has made poor begin
ming.

Swallowing Foreign Bodies.

The American Medical and Surgical
Bulletin, in an article on this subject,
says that pins, safety pins, pebbles, jack
stones, ETC., swallowed by children need
occasion no alarm, as they will pass
through without harming the child The
greatest danger is from the castor oil with
which the child is usually dosed in such
cases. 1t is better to leave the bowels at
rest and give Cruel, crackers, baked pota-
toes, milk, anything which will constipate
the child and make pultaceous mass in
which the foreign bodies will be embedded
and carried through. When foreign bodies
stick in the throat and the child is unable
to swallow, it should receive an emetic, or
the coin catcher should be introduced.
This is a basketlike affair easily used. In
one case both a 1 cent and cent piece
were removed at the same time by this in
strum emit.
Petticoats.
Not by any means the least important
part of a costume is the petticoat. Indeed
it has come to be regarded as necessary
that petticoats should fit and hang well as
that the gown itself should be well cut.
Again and again costume is seen which
in itself is very smart, yet looks somehow
exceedingly dowdy and quite lacking in
style. The real reason for this is that the
petticoats worn beneath it are not well
cut Women who are really in other ways
neat never seem to realize how much
thought and care should be bestowed upon
this particular article of dress. -Exchange.

FOR THE SPRING CAMPAIGN.
A Forecast of the Incoming Fashions In


A Forecast of the Incoming Fashions In
wOmen's Dress.
Preparations are being made ON every
side for the spring campaign. though 1t
is more or less difficult to find out the
exact direction Dame Fashion is likely
to take. Judging from the early impor-
tations already in sight, it seems prob
able that sloping shoulders, narrow
skirts, short trains, draped bodices and
bright colors will prevail throughout
the spring and summer months. Dress
materials are many and varied. Among
fashionable materials are pretty Scotch
friezes in mixed coloring. The camel's
hair fabrics for early spring are to be-
come quite popular. These will be made
up with bright velvets and considerable
passementerie and embroidery. Large,
striking patterns predominant. PLAID
silks and changeable silks are to be seen
There are also silks in checks and mar
row stripes. Silk dresses are evidently
destined to become exceedingly popular.
Indistinctly summer materials, such
as organdies, dimities, grenadines and
china silks, are observable scroll de-
signs, Powered patterns and all over de-
signs. The new canvas materials, all
cotton, which come in variety of col
ors, promise to be very popular.
The form which the dress skirt is to
take is at present problem. 1t seems
certain that it must be trimmed. The
rule abroad is panels and fiat bands for
day wear in wool and silk fabrics and
tucks and ruff1es for thin materials. Ball
gowns favor frills in thin materials,
clustered together at the hem and con-
shutting the sleeves. The V shaped en-
broidered pieces on the bodices become
more and more elaborate, and it is al
most impossible to have too many
buckles or too many diamonds Soft

FLUFFY and Plain Combined.
Velvet and galloon are much employed
In the characterization of costumes of silk,
wool and cloth, all of which are used for
the deniseason. A great deal of black and
deep colored velvet is seen in combination
with cloth of light gray, beige, suede, mas
tic, blue gray, green, violet and tobacco
shades. Applications of cloth on cloth are
also to be noticed, the ground being gen
orally of white or very light cloth, while
the applications are like the gown itself
The design is sometimes followed by a silk
cord or a line of embroidery to accentuate
1t. This decorated cloth is utilized for
revers, epaulets, vests, boleros and plas-
irons.
For spring wear there are indications of
trimmings in which the fluffy and the fiat
will be combined ruffles and plaitings be-

to dip it in warm water containing a little

TOsti's Hobby.

Signor Tosti, the lo-1talian COM
poser, has recently acquired one of the
most peculiar hobbies possible. After a
hard days work, either of teaching his
many royal pupils or of composing, he
is won't to retire, in company with his
charming wife, to his study. From
thence the sounds of hammering may be
heard, accompanied by the notes of a
mandolin. 1t may be gathered from
these sounds that the great composer is
seeking recreation at his favorite amuse-
ment of upholstering. 1t is safe to say
that the greater part of the chairs, and
certainly the whole of his wife's boudoir,
have thus been upholstered by Signor
Tosti.

Selecting Photographs.

In selecting photographs for wall deco
ration few well chosen large photographs
are better than a number of little ones, If
selected with definite purpose. The dec
oratiye effect of large framed photograph
is nearly always enhanced by putting it
under yellow instead of ordinary glass.
1t should be remembered, too, that simple
wooden holdings are the best settings for
such pictures Gilt frames should be re-
served for paintings in oil, water color or
pastel or facsimiles of them. There are
numerous photographs on scale to show
every detail of the original paintings they
represent. For the parlor or dining room
of a private house a selection might be
made from the many beautifully toned
prints which illustrate the works of the
great masters of painting.

made very elegant by the addition of re-

with the yokes which often accompany
them, are embroidered with gold or black
or colored cord. Sometimes they are cover

EVERYBODY in Wisconsin who
read the charges freely published at
the time of Myron II. McCord's con
nection with questionable pine land
and other deals some years ago, were
mortified that President Mckinley
should nominate him for governor OF
Arizona. True, McCord escaped
punishment, but twas on the Scotch
verdict of guilty but not proved
according TO general belief. When
McCord left the state it was felt that
it was for the good Of the common
wealth. If any Wisconsin influence
aided his nomination, or is used tc
secure his confirmation by the SEN
ate as governor Of Arizona, it is not
representative of the honest senti-
ment Of the people.

there will be retaliation against the

out as likely to take "A step Of this
kind, has sold us 3l3,0O00O0 yens'
