Lemons are improved and kept fresh

use.
: A pan or saucepan of hot water placed
in an oven will keep meat and pastry
from being scorched or dried.
Tin tea kettles may be made as bright
as new by simply rubbing them with a
wooden rag dipped in oil and then wip-
ing quite dry with clean cloth.
A spoonful of vinegar added to the
water in which meat and poultry are
boiled makes them more tender.
The water in which potatoes have
been boiled is very effective in keeping
silver bright. 1t can be bottled for use,
and if required to be kept a long time
a tenth part of methylated spirits will
do this.-Chicago Record.

LATE SHADES IN GLOVES.
Six Button SUICIDES I'm Light Shades for
the summer.

the summer.
The newest gloves for summer wear
are the six-button suedes in all the light
shades. The glace is a thing of the
past, at least for the summer. They
are too warm. Besides, the suedes are
much easier to put on when the hand
is warm, and, perhaps, moist with per-
spiration.
The hghtest tints in gloves are
trimmed in darker shades of the same
color or contrasting colors. BY trim
mings are meant the stitchings in the
back, the pearl buttons, and the bind
ing of the edges. A very pretty effect
is obtained in the new shade of yellow
which is called amber" and which is
bound all around the edges, including
the five or six big scallops around the
wrist, with a dark brown glace kid.
The buttons are pearl of the same
dark-brown shade. Other colors, such
as blue, heliotrope or pink tints are
trimmed with black glace and buttons
and stitching. In contrast to these are
shown also the darker shades trimmed
There are two new cycling gloves for
ladies-the ventilated glove and the adj
Unstable gauntlet. The ventilated glove
is made with heavy glace dogskin palm
and suede finish back, both palm and
back being perforated with little pin
head holes for ventilation. The ad-
Unstable gauntlet is a good dogskin
glove with patent snap buttons and a
separate gauntlet, which also has snap
button fastening, besides an extra snap
which buttons to the ordinary glove
wrist, fitting as closely as gauntlet
which is sewed fast to the entire wrist
of the glove. These gauntlets being
separate, and of the best kid in all
brown shades, and taps as well, win
fit over any glove, and will outwear sew
eral pairs of the ordinary gloves. If
desired one may also wear the gloves
without the gauntlets. Thus a riding
glove may be made into walking glove,
or vice versa.-Chicago Tribune.

This unfortunate state of affairs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the

right care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible A woman should al

child depend upon it.

lMPALED WHILE COASTING.
CycIer's Body Pierced by Buggy
Shaft-OperatiOn Performed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S-The surgeons Of
Bellevue Hospital have very little hope that
Joseph Losser, a young farmer, who was
impaled on a buggy shaft While coasting
down hill near Chappaqua, Westchester
county, will recover.
Losser is robust, and his great vitality
may possibly save him from death. He is
twenty-four years old, and is known as one
of the cleverest cyclists in the section of
Westchester county in which he lives. He
was coasting down a steep hil At the
bottom of the hill was DR.. James, of Pleas
antville who was in a buggy Neither DR..
James nor young Losser saw each other
until they were within short distance of
each other. The young farmer was such
a slxilful wheelman that he had full con-
fidence in himself. The road was narrow
and il was necessary for the cyclist TO run
clo Sc 10 the buggy in order TO pass. Other
wise he would strike the rough side OF the
road, and possibly be hurled on his wheel.
When the horse saw the cyclist 1t SHE'D
somewhat and young lesser was impaled
on one OF the buggy shafts. His wheel
slipped from under him. and the buggy was
nearly stopped by the force OF the impact
Dr. James leaped from the buggy and un-
hitched the horse Then he rushed TO the
nearest house, returned with a saw, and
sawed off the end of the shaft which had
penetrated the young mans body. DR..
james did not deem II advisable to remove
the shafts end from LOSERS body for fear
of the flow of blood which would result.
The young farmer was placed in the buggy
and Dir. James drove rapidly 10 the Pleas
antvile railroad station. The last passen-
ger had left for New York. but the milk

soap manufacturing firms in the world

has been entirely cat off by the Dingley
law. To regain this lost trade the firm
will produce the same brands of soap here
H. w. Lever, the president of the corpora

Jestc Oct. 13 to select a suitable site for
the American factory and village 1t will
probably be situated somewhere in New

hudson. The main factory of the firm at
Fort Sunlight, near Birkenhead is an in

ing plan, and employs $500 persons. The
town of Port Sunlight which has more
than 5000 Inhabitants, belongs to the firm
and is inhabited exclusively by it's en-
ployes and their families who eniov the
double advantage of proximity to their
work and the most improved appliances in
building and sanitation. The firm also has
a factory in Sydney, Australia. and oil
works in Vicksburg, Miss. The firm of

ELEVEN NEW CASES.
Yellow Fever Spreading in Mobile
Panic Among the People.

MOBILE. Ala, Sept. 1S.-There has been
an accumulation of eases to-day. The
president of the Board of Health states
that had the physicians recognized and
reported promptly the suspicious cases
many of these cases would have been an
nounced several days ago. But two of
them have been discovered in the past twen-
ty-four hours The number announced to-
day is eleven, making eighteen in all, so
far announced, of which number two have
died, as previously reported, and one was
to-day discharged. The new cases are:
Henry Ezell. mulatto, Alice jonathan.
Frank Donaldson George Shamburger. Ar
racine Erqueh, Mrs. w. H. Woolton, Rich
ard Murray, Mrs. c. Xavier, Louis Xavier,
f. b. Miller, Mary Bassett. Three suspl-

There has been a quarantine drawn from
Chicasabogue creek north Of Mobile some
five miles northwesterly TO the Mississippi
line, so as to present an absolute embargo
against Mobilians penetrating by laad into
the interior of Alabama. This trocha is
guarded continuously. Some 200 people from
this city started out into the country this
morning, intending to take refuge with the
farmers living from ten TO fifteen mile out.
They encountered the guards al the trocha
and were stopped there At o'clock most
of the immigrants We're still there in the
open air, fearing TO return to the city and
not able TO go further. The people here
are still in great panic and all are leaving
who can, although experienced physicians
and the older citizens try TO quiet the alarm
by showing that the fever is not progress

SITUATION AT EDWARDS.
Ten New Cases, Making "a Total of
FOrty-Nine to Date.

FOrty-Nine to Date.
VICKSBURG, Miss, Sept. 1S.-The total
number of cases at Edwards and vicinity
of the yellow fever is forty-seven. The
latest reports tonight make the total
new cases of the day ten. The
rapid spread of the disease is remarkable
Five of the total are in the country. The
disease is now well distribuated throughout
the town. Several new cases have been re-
ported but not yet passed on by the ply
sicians, which will doubtless swell the to-
tai to fifty. The general condition of all
the worst cases is improved, and none is
now considered dangerous The people have
had many generous offers from various
points in the way of doctors, nurses and
supplies, which are highly appreciated. Two
nurses arrived from Vicksburg yesterday,
and more are to follow. 1t is learned with
regret that some miscreants, in order to
stop trains running through Jackson, had
burned a bridge This is a source of re-
gret, because the doctors were expecting
one hundred tents to establish a refuge
camp
