of a band were heard, they filed in at

Point I'm Preserring Emit.

a very good authority on fruit pre-
serving considers that the plan followed
by many housekeepers, of using small
proportion of sugar, and in consequence
boiling the preserve longer, as fallacy,
as the more sugar used the greater the
bulk of preserve obtained, less being
wasted in long, boiling and evaporation,
while the favor of the fruit is more re-
tanned. A quick fire should be used,
and. of course, the preserve continual
ly stirred, the skum being taken off as it
rises. To judge if the preserve has
boiled long enough drop a little into
a glass of cold water. If it does not
spread or mix, it is done enough. Or
another way is to drop little on plate.
If it does not run on the plate, it is suf-
ficiently boiled and should at once be
poured.-Boston Budget.

woman,s Debt TO Society.

Woman stands as the sacred guardian
of future homes and our nations pros
perity, and to her must we look for
true reforms. To her standard must
society come. Let her be sure to place
it high and keep it pure, and make it
apply impartially to all people. Let her
keep out those whom she knows fall
short of her standard, and never con-
done in the stronger sex what she con-
dennis in the weaker. Let her think
not to elevate society by hiding or con-
doning the evils which surround her
on every side, but only by shutting out
those whom she has found it impossi-
BILE to raise to her standard Then fu-
ture generations viii arise who will
bless her for their heritage, instead of
cursing her for their misery.-Dwight
L. Moody, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Horse in Scotland Attacks Three
Women Bicycle Riders.

Women Bicycle Riders.
A most unusual incident occurred on
the Dumbarton road, near Glasgow,
three lady cyclists being suddenly con
fronted and attacked by a riderless
horse. They had dismounted and stood
aside to let it pass, but instead of do
ing so it stopped and attempted to
seize them. Dropping their bicycles in
alarm upon the road, they tried to run
past the animal, but he was on the alert
and twice leaped over the bicycle its
efforts to reach them. They then made
for a hedge by the roadside and two of
them managed to crawl safely beneath
it out of reach. The third, however,
was not so lucky. Before she could es-
cape the animal had seized her hat with
its teeth and torn it from her head. 1t

CHIcAGC's NEW SHIRT.
1t Has SIX Bosoms That Can Be Re-
yOIyed at VIII.


A firm on Canal street is about to staTtle
the world with shirt which has SIX
bosoms.
ImnK Of il. Six bosoms on one shirt and
no two aIiseI And the wonder does not end
there. The wearer Of this shht can change
from one bosom to the other without Ie-
moving his coat or vest.
For the new kind of shirt bosom is cir
c,lar and has a button fastening in the
center, and the circle is divided into six
equal parts On the same lines that PIE Is
cut.
Thus, there are six wedge-shaped oOsoms
and they mas be selected SO as to present
any variety OF color and design
The new bosom cannot be used with
very loE-cut vest, as two or more OF the
designs might show at the same time, ana
the effect would be rather distractmg.
Vests are cut very high nowadays, how
ever, and most men will find the small
bosoms to be plenty large enough, since
only a few square inches of bosom need De
exposed.
AS the wheel bosom is fastened in the
center by button, it can be turned by
the wearer whenever he desires quick
change.
BY putting his hand into the armhOle OF
his vest he can get hold Of the edge of MS
stiffened bosom and turn it as many de-
grees as he chooses, or until he COMES TO g
pattern that pleases him.
of course 1t is important that the button
on which the bosom revOlves shall be f1t-
ted rather tightly, otherwise the circular
| bosom will shift of its own accord.
| 4 bow-tic resting firmly against the col
| lar is the hest style of cTavat To wear with
| a revolving shit BOSOM
| The edge of the bosom slides along under
| the tie and is hidden from view With
! fuur-in-hand greater care must be taken
/ lest the bosom and the collar do not join
| neatly and suspicion be aroused. Gentle
| men who expect to wear the revolving
! bosoms are advised to wear the bow-ties,
since the bosom can be changed at any
moment without the least disarrangemen5

| The advautag claimed for the revoIv-
ing shirt bosom are: First, saving or
