APPORTIONING HOUSEWORK.
The Duties of Servants in Econom-
jcally Conducted Families.

In large and fashionable establish
ment where there is parlor and a lady's
maid, S Well as housemald, each one
fulfills the duties of q separate depart
ment, while in a simpler menage the COOK
and parlor maid, or waitress, as she is
more often called in this country, must
divide the household duties bet ween them.
And this very apportioning of the va
rious tasks 10 the different servants with
Justice and discrimination is one of the
most difficult undertakings that the
American mistress has to deal with.
In England there is certain routine
OF work for every individual servant from
Which no one is permitted to vary through
out the breadth of the empire. And in our
land, where the utmost laxness has pre-
vailed, the English rules and customs are
beginning to find favor both with mistress
and maid.
1t has teen cleverly said that the cook
should always lie out Of sight though

lated establishment she is never expect

she cleans the front steps. The thorough
busting and putting in order of these rooms
is one of the duties of the waitress, as is
the sweeping and cleaning, at stated in
tervals, of the upper chambers.
The first morning duty of the waitress is
to see that reception room, dining-room and

CORNER SHELF FOR OLD CHINA.
Small Cabinet for summer Cottage
Easily Made at Home.

The summer cottage is usually deficient
in mantelI ieces and shelves of every
kind, and the housewife must sadly and
reluctantly stow away the beautiful old
plates and other antique china in her
closed dish closet, or else buy an expensive
china cupboard with a glass front-unIess
some member of her family happens to
have sufficient ingenuity to construct a

Almost any visible shelf VIII serve as
a receptacle for the Commodore Perry
platters and New England blue pitchers,

Iner resorts, where the fashionable women
have no other place to shop. To accom-
Inodate such things along with o fayorite
novel or so, there is nothing handler than
CORNER bracket, which is much more
easily made than one might suppose.
To make 1T, one requires some thin nine
or White wood boards not more than five
eighths of an inch thick. These form the
two side or wall plates, and should be
cut to measure thirty inches in height and
sixteen inches across in the widest part al

cut with compass saw about as illustrated,
of the thin wood make two triangular
shelves fifteen inches on the straight
sides and having one side cut to a quarter
circle. Make another shelf twelve inches
on the straight sides and a small one not
more thai five inches on a side
These shelves are ali to lie sore wed fast
TO the two wall plates by driving the
screws from the outside through the plates
and into the ends of the shelves until
they are bound securely together.
The wood work can be given several
successive coats of paint TO match the
general tone of the room in which the
cabinet is TO hang. And when it is thor
oughly dry it may be screwed securely
to the wall in the allotted corner

In one of the countless art museums

Her big brown eyes look an appeal. They
seem to shine with the soul of one who

from her fair temples. Her hands, like
her whole figure indeed, are beautiful.
She is Well but not flashily dressed.
over her perfectly fitting figure she wears
long brown cloak, generally thrown
open, because of the heat of the ICom per
haps, though TO most they seem cold.
She is perfectly shod and her dainty little
gloves have a way of falling into pretty
enticing pictures by themselves, wherever
she casts them. They are not patched or
sojled, those little gloves, and they are
ofexpensiye make, though the young woman
is poor artist.

The purchaser, especially If a nan, is

There are those who say that the pretty
artist with the appealing eyes can't paint
little lit, aud that she gets q pretty
fair daily wage, for Italy, selling as her
own the works produced by the shabby
artist; that the little picture she sells for

Got Beat.---Then Squealed

Our baseball boys visited Yale
Thursday and had the game we'll in
hand up to the fifth inning when Yale's
umpire, Geo. Allen, of DeckerYille,
started to take hand in the game and
simply stole the game from Lexington,
who quit twice and then went back on
the field and did not try to play ball.
Yale should be ashamed to allow her
rooters to go so far as to throw stones
at the visiting players while they were
playing in the field. Altogether our
boys say they were never treated so
badly in their long experience as ball
players. The game finally ended with
the score Is to II in favor of Yale
Lexington News.
Oh! What howl. Bro. Keyes,
any person that told you that stones
were thrown during the progress of
the game, "simply" lied. The kids
just rooted the same as they do in your
little old town. And you must have
forgotten the deal our base ball boys
received when at Lexington. Our UNI
pire gave fair decisions in every in
stance, and had the visitors won the
game there would have been no kick
coming. The Lexington aggregation
were beaten by Yale's clever base ball
nine fair and square, and they can beat
'em again.

MARRIAGE.
FENTON-NOBLE.

A beautiful wedding ceremony oc-
Cured at the residence of Lewis
Fenton, in Lexington, on Wednesday,
September 10Th, 1897. The rooms were
decorated in lovely pink and white
roses and carnations. Where the
couple were to stand a canopy had
been hung, composed of pink ribbons,
white flowers and ferns.
Promptly at 2 p. m. when about
forty invited guests had assembled, the
room was entered by the groom,
Charles Noble, son of Yale's banker,
with Arthur Fenton, brother of the
BRIDE Following came Miss Maude
Fenton, a sister, as bridesmaid, dressed
in pink. Then came the bride Miss
Mayme Fenton, leaning on her fathers
arm. Miss Fenton's dress was an
elegant white silk, trimmed with
pearls and chiffon, and she carried a
bouquet of white roses. She made a
lovely appearance. Two flower girls,
little daughters of j. l.. Benedict, of
Brown City, one dressed in pink, the
other in white, were holding pink rib
bons, through the aisles of which the
bride walked to her place at the altar.
Rev. Wall, rector of the Episcopal
church, conducted the impressive Epis-
copal ring service and Mr.. and Mrs.
Noble were soon receiving the hearty
congratulations of their friends. An
elegant repast was then offered the
company who repaired to the dining
room. The decorations of the tables
were smilaX, carnations and roses.
Soon after refreshments the bride and
groom left on the train for Detroit,
Chicago and other points of interest.
Upon their return their home will be
made in Brown City. where Mr.. Noble
is located in the bank and where he
has already provided handsome home
for his bride. Many rich and beauti-
full presents were bestowed upon the
bride by admiring relatives and friends.

Yale, when Miss Fenton, having Wis
tied here quite often.

Elk City's Prosperity.

Lewiston iribune.
Edward Juesscn came in Sum
day from Elk City and will leave
today for Spokane where he will
engage this winter in business,
doing expert mining work. Mr.
Juessen is manager and a large
owner in the American Placer
Mining Co., one of the most sue
cessful producing enterprises in
Idaho and whose clean-ups COM
mon report places at $4,000 a
year. The company handles 1900
to 1900 cubic yards, or 1000 tons,
of ground every day and employs
IA men steadily. Mr.. Juessen re-
ports that the interest and activity
in Idaho county mining is some
thing phenomenal, the roads being
lined with teams hauling machi-
merry and supplies in to the various
properties. There are now five
big producing placer companies in
Elk City and twenty smaller ones
and three quartz mills, including
the one at Dixie, 80 miles distant
and the 1O-stamp mill ON Sam Sill
verman's Badger mine, eighteen
miles distant. The Iron Crown
people are also putting in mill to
work up their big blanket ledge on
Newsome creek.

The combination of irrigation
and brilliant sunshine in the fertile
valleys of the northwest, produce
some wonderful results. For ex-
ample, most of the strawberry beds
planted in Vineland last March
bore strawberries enough in the
following May and June for the
family supply, and such eminent
authority as Robert Schleicher
whose fruit farm is within 5 miles
of Vineland under like conditions,
states that his Strawberries set in
the fall produced full crop during
the following season. Eastern
growers find this hard to believe
when their experience teaches that
full crop is not to be expected
until the second fruiting season.
Vineland boasts many cherry, pear
and peach trees which bore fruits
the first season from planting.
One 3 year old Idaho pear tree
grown near Vineland, produced 10
large, handsome fruits the third
year from setting. A cherry Or
chard should pay a handsome
profit the fourth year from setting.

Bold FOxea.

In the early spring the foxes were very
annoying in Mexican county, Pa, and
their hunger made them unusually bold.
AS farmer was smoking his pipe near
the kitchen window he saw fox edg-
ing toward the chicken coop. The farm
err seized his shotgun and ran out, but
the fox heard him coming and scurried
into the barnyard, among a flock Of
sheep. Foxes, when pursued, have a
trick OF running in among sheep if they
can, and thus escape frequently, as the
sheep tracks cover the scent. So might
this fox have escaped, if it had not been

Mining Activity.

There are many evidences that
we are to experience great mining
activity here in the immediate
future. Indeed the activity has
already been inauguaated. There
is now more going on in the mines
tributary to this place than for
many years, and if present indica-
tions are borne out by development
we will see more miners at work
next year than this section has
known since pioneer days.
The most encouraging feature is
that capital is coming in from other
places. A number of Montana
companies have become interested,
and if these meet with success
there will be a great influx of men
and money from that state. Moth
ing could contribute SO much to
the prosperity of the mining in
dustry in Idaho as to have lib.
eral infusion of Montana blood.
A half dozen vigorous operators
from that state would transform
the section in which their opera
tions were conducted. There are
a great many investors from other
localities, and these will add very
materially to the prosperity that
will come to the mining business
as result of the revival that is be-
ing experienced.
