For Breakfast.

Some simple breakfast menus used
by large number of housekeepers
suggests that there is an appetizing
variety possible even when one has to
live economically. 1t will be noticed
in these menus that the cereals are
changed frequently, SO that one does
not know that with the certainty of
rising there will be sure to be oat-
meal. For one breakfast their is fruit,
oatmeal with cream, creamed Goldfish,
baked potatoes, mullins and coffee;
the next morning there will be fruit,
farina with cream, broiled tomatoes
with a cream sauce, hashed potatoes
Drowned, oatmeal gems, and coffee. A
third breakfast consists of granul1
and cream, fruit, broiled steak with
French fried potatoes, rolls and cof-
fee; the fourth, of fruit, rolled avena
and cream, omelet and stewed pota
toes, cornbread and coffee; a fifth, of
fruit, cerealine and cream, ragout of
lamb, potato puffs, griddle cakes and
coffee; and a sixth, of cracked wheat
and ceram, fruit, corned beef hash,
graham gems mad coffee. 1t will be
noticed that the meat dishes are, with
two exceptions, made from leftover
material or are of eggs in some form,
thus saving any extra expense for
meat. The breakfasts are rich in nu-
| triton, and also contain something
| for the most delicate appetite. To
buy a number of packages or pounds
of different cereals is not much more
expensive than to buy one kind only,
and much more coaxing to the taste.
By buying fruit in it's season the
breakfast supply will in many places
not prove very costly. When oranges
and bananas and grapes and melons
are out of the question, there is usual
ly that healthful standby the apple,

the pillows, but after giving little
lap on to the bed, push the rest of the
fullness in irregular folds over the
pillow. This is why silkoline is pre-
fera BILE to china silk; it being wider,
it gives cloth for these loose folds up
and down. The appearance otherwise
is about the same. This will moi slip
out of place, because the material is
so clinging. 1t is but moments
work to adjust it, and the effect is
very pleasing, and, good housewife,
stop to think for one moment of the
simplicity of it's make up and the les
sened labor of laundering.
This looks very pretty with the
white bedspread, but if something is
needed there get eight yards more,
sew together two widths the length
of the bed, and then hem each end.
Let this fall over the sides of the mat
tress until it reaches the rail, then
hem under the extra width; on this
hem sew gathered fiounce of the ma
terial, letting it just escape the aoor
about two inches. If the bedstead is
brass one there will be room be-
tween the ma tlress and fOOtbOard to
let founce slip down through at the
foot, Tut other bedsteads will only

with the shams to match, looks quite
elegant.
A dresser cover of the same material
will add to the pleasing effect of the
bed covering. Make the cover little
smaller than the top of the dresser,
then add ruff1e to fill out the size.
If this is done, would advise, to COM
plete the arrangement, the addition Of
a small splasher above the commOde,
made of the same material, gathered
and supported in place by a small
brass rod set in tiny brackets. The
whole cannot fail to please. I have
seen it tried. This material is often
called imitation of china silk.
If any prefer pure white in their
bedrooms, this same arrangement can
be used with any of the pretty white
figured materials in cheap muslin.
The large polka dot or diamond-shape
figured material, for window curtains
of the better quality, would be pretty,
or that variety that has the white
groundwork and the colored figures.
The sill1oline has two things to rec
and that is it's soft, clinging
quality and it's colored and figured de-
sign, which makes it show less the
usages of time.

Anything so substantial and neces-

expected to escape the innovations OF
fashions changes, but fashions come
and go for these in the same restless
manner that they do for other human
possessions. Strange that in some
things we cannot find good thing
and then be willing to stick to it. One
might wonder what effect this prin-
ciple, carried out, would have upon
trade, for it is the unceasing changes
of time and indulgent taste that
makes the prosperous merchant, quite
as much as the actual wear and tear
of articles.

Indifferent in any marked degree, no

how the small new ways take hold of
the popular fancy, and with what re-
spect we are apt to regard those peo-
pie so fortunate as to be always able
to present some new way of doing
things.
Within a few years popular fancy
has brought a great pressure to bear
against the use of pillow shams, and
for time it did seem as though they
were fated to sink into obscurity, but
they so appeal to the housewives

the light of day the soiled and crum

orately it may be trimmed, still loses

Some have resorted to two sets of pill
lows, one for the day use and another
for the night; but that has it's dis
advantages where economy of room
must be considered. The same holds
good with the silk-covered bolster.
Both ways become tiresome unless one
has an abundance of closet room for
the disposal in an orderly manner of
the unused articles.
We have also been desperately tried
by the slipping propensity of the we'll

1t is doubtful if any one who talked
with Fitz'immons during his two
days stay in Rock Island this week
noticed that there we're any missing
molars. and il is not known that his
sparring partner evinced any par
ticular dread Of the champion pugil-
list in the sparring exhibition at Har-
per's theatre. Yet it is said that
Bob Fitzsimmons had one OF his
teeth knocked out at the boxing bout
in his show Monday night in q town
near Kansas City by his sparripg
partner. Bob stepped into the
wings, spit out the blood, returned
and pounded his punisher fearfully.

John Greim, An aged man resid-

headq quarters in the patrol wagon by
Capt. Eckard and Officers Mcneil !
and Dumbald last evening. The pc :
lice had been notified that Mr..
Greim had become violently insane
and threatened the annihilation Of
the members OF his household. His
hands were tied with a clothes line.
and his face bore evidence Of having
been roughly handled when the Of
ficers arrived at his home.
The old gentleman denied the
story Of his insanity. and said he had
been shamefully beaten by his grand
son, Frank Warner. who had tied his
hands. in which proceeding he WAS
assisted by bis (Greim's) wife.
Greim this morning swore out a
warrant against Warner, charging
him with assault and battery. War
ner was arrested by Officer Fitzger-
aid, aud he was given hearing be-
fore Police Magistrate Stafford. The
complainant told his story, which
was decidedly at variance with those
related by Mrs. Greim and Warner.
Mrs. Greim said her husband had
many times threatened her life,
chasing her with an Ak. knife, pitch
fork, etc. She said that last night
while in q fit of anger he threatened
her life, and in order to protect her
self, she tied his hands while War
