FASHION NOTES.

The usefulness of the old-fashioned
Chantilly shawl is revived again, and
it is to be worn for gowns mounted
over black satin. This sort of lace
dress. with a touch Of color at the
neck and belt can be made very at
tractive, and the use of something
which has been slowed away for
years is always a satisfaction.
Light weight broadcloth in soft,
delicate shades makes the most
charming demi- toilettes, ard al
though to keep it perfectly fresh such
a gown demands frequent trips to the
professional cleaner, there is nothing
to equal it's durability. There is
nothing that so we'll displays the per-
lection of fit as this soft, firm cloth
A pretty waist finish is oolero
Jacket trimmed round and round with
rows of gimp, from which fall tiny
tassels or sequins. The rows are just
far enough apart so that the drops
clear the upper edge of the next row.
This makes the jacket almost solid
trimming, but it is exceedingly pref
ty. Another style has three closely
set rows of drop trimming all around
the edge.
A stylish waist for ordinary use is
made of India silk of good qualify. 1t
may be made either to end at the
waist with the skirt over it, or with
full ruff1e that stands out around the
belt; the sleeves are large enough to
look ample, but without any excess
of material. There are straight cuffs
fastened with sleeve buttons. A
linen collar is worn. Around the
dress collar is row of velvet ribbon
which hooks or ties in front in a
handsome bow.

STARCH POLISH.-Laundres and
those who are particular about the
looks of their linen, have been more
or less worried because they could
not secure the high luster and finish
to their collars and cuffs A scientist
has put his wits at work to prepare a
compound that will give the desired
finish without injury to the articles
on which it is employed. The results
of this research are herewith given:
Cheat together 90 parts of sperma
ceti, 30 parts of gum arabic, SO parts
of boXax, 120 parts of glycerine and
$50 parts of rain Or distilled water,
with constant stirring until complete
solution is achieved. Let cool and
fill into suitable bottles, which must
be tightly corked. Directions: Take
an ounce of good starch and add just
enough cold water to make a paste,
carefully rubbing with a spoon until
all Jumps are broken down. To a
pint of boiling water add table
spoonfuls of this liquid, pour the
whole over the starch paste and boil
not less than half an hour. These
proportions are intended for collars,
cuffs and fine shirt bosoms. For
other articles less of the liquid is re-
quired. "-Nea0 York Ledger.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

A low, spreading tree is least af-
fected by the winds.
The kind of soil has much to do
with the quality of fruit.
Always remove dead or decaying
wood from growing trees.
1t is not too late yet to fill vacant
places in the orchard.
A fast growing tree is not apt to
produce very much fruit.
All superfous branches are need
less drain upon the resources of the
tree.
In pruning the grapes it is a good
plan to allow five canes to each post,
cutting back yearly.
Red clover is one of the best plants
for orchards, it keeps the ground
loose and enriches the soil.
Pruning is done for two reasons:
To make symmetrical, long-lived
trees and to cause fruitfulness.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A small dish of fine charcoal kept
upon shelf of dark closet or in the
refrigerator and renewed every week
will absorb all odors and help to keep
things fresh and sweet.
In cleaning frescoed or papered
walls put soft canton flannel bag
(1eecy side out) on a broom ana
wipe them down, beginning at
the cornice and coming straight
down to the base board with an even
pressure. All walls should be clean
ed straight up and down, never
across. Change the bags frequently
if the walls are much soiled. Put IN
the wash with the busters and press
them out on ironing day. Flannel is
also highly recommended for clean
ing papered walls.
A housekeeper says the proper way
to cleanse black or drab colored
stockings of cotton or Isle thread Is
to wash them in bran water. lie the
bran in a muslin bag and shake this
bag about in hot water until the
water is lather Wash the stockings
in the water and then wrap them IN
cloths and wiring well. Shake the
stockings out and dry quickly before
the fire. Stockings washed in this
way retain their color.
According to Flebert, a mustard
plaster made according to the fol-
lowing directions will not blister the
most sensitive skin: Two teaspoon
fuls of mustard, two of -four, two of
ground ginger. Do not mix too dry.
Place between two pieces of old mus
lin and apply. If it burns too much
atfirst, lay an extra piece of muslin
between it and the skin. AS the skin
becomes accustomed to the heat take
the extra piece of muslin away.

Ingratitude and Indifference some

Ingratitude and Indifference some
times mar the character of men. A
husband returns from his business at
evening. During his absence and
throughout the livelong day, the wife
has been busy with mind and hands
preparing some little surprise, some
unexpected pleasure. to make his
home more attractive than ever. He
enters, seemingly sees no more of
what has been done to please him
than if he were blind man, and has
nothing more to say about it than if
he were deaf and dumb. Many a low
ing wife has borne in her heart an
abiding sorrow, day after day, from
causes like this, until, in process of
time, the fire and enthusiasm of her
original nature has burned out, and
mutual Indifference spread it's pail
over the household.

HIS RARE HONESTY.

IF Diogenes were to visit Hot
Springs, S. D., carry his lamp with
him and hunt around for one Albert

his term of years on earth.
1t has been reserved for Mr.. Hop
kins to surprise the pension Office by
sending back to that establishment
draft for $82.4O which he claims was
paid him as a part of his pension

vate Hopkins served in the Union
army in Company. I, Second Wis

tiers to the commissioner of pensions
follows:
sSince every man naturally and
justly assumes to be the chief justice
of the supreme court for himself, and
since in general way this Judgment
must usually be affirmed when it is
against himself, assume the privil-
eye and duty of interpreting the pen
sion laws in my own case thus:
II am entitled to full pension of $12
per month under the law of 1890
for one year thereafter while I was on
crutches and disabled for manual la
Dor. This amounts to 500. Also to
