many dolls, until she had family Of
1872 of them. The name of each she en-
tered in book and wrote out it's entire
lost it's nose, how its dress was torn,
and finally, how it's sawdust blood ran
out and left it only bunch of rags.
With these dolls the little princess
performed many ceremonies of state.
Their feet were so fixed in the long
board that they could stand up straight
and she marched them around in many
wonderful ways.
One of her other sports was riding
out on her white donkey, whose head
was adorned with blue ribbons. An
old soldier led it by the bride. Some
times she took drive in a small pony
chaise, led by a page. One day dog
ran between the pony's legs; itswerved
and upset the little carriage. The
princess would surely have been in
jured or killed. if soldier who was
passing had not caught her in his arms.
His name was Maloney, and he was
warmly thanked and generously re-
warded by the duchess of Kent, her
mother.
Victoria had to study much harder
than many little girls, for she was to
be fitted for a most important work.
She began to learn from books when
she was five years old. Later she was
trained to speak French and German,
as well as English, and, by the time she
had reached her eleventh year, Ital-
ion latin Graaly M tbano ticc r,ncio
and drawing were added to her studies.
The princess was very fond of draw
ings, and early began to sketch from
nature. She was much interested in
natural history, and was delighted
her first visit to the British museum,
and asked that she might often be-
taken there. She also took much
pleasure in learning simple botany,
which she studied with her uncle Leo
pold in the woods.
Another pastime she found in visit
ing her "Uncle King" as she called
George w., then king of Englnd.
At IS years of age, before she was
really grown to womanhood, she was
crowned queen of England. When it
was time for her to marry she didn't
have to wait until some nice young
man asked her. She had to do the asking,
herself, because the queen of England
is so great that no one she could marry
could presume TO ask her. She con-
fessed to her dearest friend that pro-
posing to Prince Albert was the most
trying ordeal" she had ever expert
enced.-Chicago Record.

BEST DISINFECTANT.
Pure Air Is More EmcaciOus Than the
Most Costly Drugs.

Most Costly Drugs.
After all that is said of disinfectants
in the drug line, the best is pure air
and in large volume. At least all other
disinfectants are very inefficient, I'M
less plenty of pure air accompanies
them.
All rooms that are to be disinfected
should have plenty of air admitted to
them as the first requisite of beginning
operations. Often it will be found
quite sufficient in itself to disarm mild
contagion.
The majority of people are too sensi-
tive on the subject of letting pure air
into sick-rooms, where an abundance
benefit to the sick one, but be the safe
guard of the whole household. Direct
drafts of air upon the patient are al
ways to be avoided, unless, perchance,
it is case of suffocation, when air in
quite vigorous motion about the pa
tient is what he most needs. But there
are ways to keep the best of air in q
sick-room without putting the patient
in any peril, and ways tn lat will prove
the means of getting him out of peril
from confined, unaerated contagion.
Certainly if the rest of the house is
filed with good air, it may enter from
this source and do much to purify and
disinfeet the sick-room' a point never to
be neglected.
AS for the sick-room itselfNand hope
it has more than one window, would
advise that board the exact length Of
the width of the window be placed I'M
der the lower sash. This board should
be about six or eight inches wide, and
be good fit. After two windows are
raised upon such boards, you will have
a good supply o. air coming constantly
into the room-a fine interchange
never striking the patient direct.
Fires may be run and regulated SO
that the patient undergoes no risk OF
getting cold, and room is warmed
easier when it contains a goodlY por-
ton Of oxygen within its limits.--A. p,

SUMMER RIBBONS.
sensonable Trimmings for Light Co.'S
tunes.


tunes.
AS is usual in summer, ribbons have
taken on a considerable Importance.
The great novelty is transparencies. On
a foundation of colorless gauze are
woven stripes of green, rose, blue satin,
in widths from hair line to half inch,
and when this ribbon is gathered, or
ruff1ed, or looped in bows, the founda-
ton disappears against the gown and
the colored bands stay airily in place
without any visible support. Gowns
trimmed with such ribbon give quite
new effects. Thus a black silk, the
skirt ruffled with ribbon of green
stripes, on foundation of black tulle,
and, the blouse made entirely of the
ribbon in stripes running up and down.
If this ribbon is not at hand, it is very
we'll initiated by sewing narrow ribbon
on strips of tulle.
These transparent ribbons are used
equally to trim evening gowns of gauze
and tulle. The idea is adapted also to
cottons and foulards by trimming the
ruf1les of these materials with parallel
rows of narrow ribbon. Thus a black
foulard with pattern in rose has
ruffles striped with rose ribbon.
Ecru batiste ribbons striped with
satin in color are used to trim gowns of
ecru batiste. The ribbon and the ground
being alike, the stripes are thrown up
in relief. The same ecru ribbon is used
to trim gowns of silk, the silk being
the same color as the stripes. Both
these effects are novel, and are ex-
tremely good. A model is an old rose
taffeta, trimmed with ecru ribbon,
striped with rose. Overlapping knife
plated ruffles of the ribbon trim the
skirt, and there is blouse of batiste,
striped round with the ribbon under
a boleror of the silk. The blouse falls
low over, the taffeta belt in front, and
the belt rises high behind the pass I'M
der the bolero. A plating of the rib
bon stands round the back of the neck,
inside the high collar of the bolero.
Organdie ribbons with silk en-
broidered dots and silk selvedge are
provided to trim organdie gowns. These
are best suited to young girls and chill
dren, in whose dress they play a very
useful part.-Ieisure Hours.

Making Soups from Fruit.

Fruit soups are made from sweet,
ened and thickened fruit juices, and
can be made from currants, oranges,
cranberries and a mixture of currants
and raspberries. Press sufficient
fruit to make one pint of juice. Moisten
a tablespoonful of arrowroot in lit
tie cold water, add to it gradually a
pint of boiling water; add sugar &C.
cording to the nature of the fruit used
Let this PURGE stand moment, then
lake from the fire and add the fruit
auice. AT serving time fill a punch
bowl half full of cracked ice, pour in
the fruit soup and it is ready to serve
These fruit soups are usually served
at the beginning of a company lunch

The legs of the screen should be cut off
just below the first crossbar, so as to
bring it near the floor. A stiff paste
board or thin wooden panel fitting into
each side of the screen should be COW

color, and when put in place should be
attached to the next to the top

headed nails holding a band of fancy
ribbon; the lower corners are held in

Conductor Adams delivered his
charge to the superintendent at the
mills as he had agreed, but the recep-
ton she received at that dignitary's
hands was not exactly what poor Meg
had feared when she started from the
junction. And the reception the super
intendent gave the crew of the fiat train
when they came in to report was not
exactly what they had expected, either.
Besides the material appreciation
which the passengers On the accommo-
dation showed Daniels little girl, the
road took upon itself the duty of her
education, and, although Old Daniel was
discharged from active service, neither
he nor his grandchild was allowed to
want.
Meg is now one of the chief telegraph
operators on the Iron Mountain road,

some, red hair and freckled face, and
even a snub nose, cannot overshadow
her true worth to those who know her.

Moody is no halfway believer in the

Jonah and the whale. Reporters, put it
down that will never let man come on

THE LAMAR UNION HOTEL CO.
The Stock Being Rapidly Subscribed
and the Work of Building Will
Soon Commences.

More than one fourth of the stock

already been subscribed by the en-
terprising citizens of Lamar. The
capital stock is $4,000 in shares OF
$40 each, SO that all who wish to help
along this much needed enterprise
can do SO. The inquiries from par
tues who wish to lease are so fIequent
that it is evident that the property
will be occupied as soon as completed.
There is also little doubt that the
stock will pay a dividend the second
year The directors have made ar
rangement to have the stone for the
foundation delivered next week, and
the work on the building will soon
be commenced.
A committee composed of Messrs.
W. J. Johnston, NJ Strain and l..

subscriptions to the stock of the com
pany, and every citizen who possibly
can should subscribe. Lamars rep
