HOT AIR MOTOR FOUNTAIN.

The hot air motor patented by NJ. Helm.
Irici works without steam, and, there
fore, many of the shortcomings of
small steam engines ore entirely OBJ
waited. The hot air motor has q re-
markedly regular and soft motion,
quite contrary to the steam or naphtha
engines, where each stroke of the pis-
ton occasions shock. The main en-
ployment to which the Heinrich hot air
motor is put is the work of pump in
the center of the flower stand, as shown
in our illustration. The benefit of hay
ing continuous jet of water in room
during the summer is obvious.

New doors for Flowers.

I It is fad in Paris to perfume flowers
artificially. Experiment has proved
that it is possible not only to take away
the natural odor of a flower. but also to
make it yield a perfume derived from
some other vegetable product. Some VIC
let's. for example, are perfect in form
and coloring, but without fragrance.
while others, very insignificant to look
at, emit a delicious fragrance. The
transfer of the odor from one species
to the other has been accomplished.
Those who have been most successful
in this branch of horticulture refuse
to tell their secret. 1t is said that the
African marigold has been robbed of its
disagreeable odor and endowed with g
perfume that makes it much sought.
The fad has been carried to the extreme
of giving to the sunflower the odor OF
the rose and to the chrysanthemum
that of the violet.-N. Y. Sun.

ALL ABOUT SHOES.
When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.

When to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.
Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. If
it is remembered that activity aud
standing enlarge the feet, and at the
latter part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints of shoes being tight,
which at the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable. Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better if kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise to keep several pairs for week
before wearing them, and several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear shoe
too small or that does not fit when you
first put it on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinches does not eX-
list. A shoe should be washed every now
and then with wet rag and oiled over
night. In this case fresh application
OF backing restores the brilliancy of
the leather. A wet shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for it will
become hard and stiff The way to save
shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe it off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of soft piece of
flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in
bad weather. Rubbers always spoil
new shoe. Patent feathers should never
lie handled until warmed, and they can
Ie made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by cloth or by the palm of
the hand, which is better. If shoes are
washed once month they will be soft
and i-npervious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
sionally sponge the insides of their
shoes with moderately strong solu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly Dig before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is to roll a strip of
flannel four inches wide and a good
yard long into wad and sew 1t tight
ly. Dip it into a saucer filled with
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe all over, and, taking
n fresh flannel, rub the shoe until it
is dry. BY this means the painful ap-
proach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. A fine polish
and one that will make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
ture is used: Two ounces of ivory
black. three ounces of molasses and ono
pint of vinegar. Mix them together.
and, having also stirred five grains of
sperm oil and six drachms of oil of
vitriol, work all the ingredients to-
gether. Tan shoes should be washed
once week with saddle soap before ap-
plying polish, which can be made by
mixing one ounce of muriatic acid, half
on ounce of alum, half an ounce of gum
arabic and half an ounce Of spirit OF
lavender into one-half pint of sour milk.
Apply with a flannel and polish with q
piece of fresh fannel-Chicago Record.

SWELL CYCLING SUIT.

and worn with q series of vests and
shirt fronts.
1t sounds very simple just to say: 81
shall order at least three vests for my
new bicycle suit" doesn't it? Well,
that is what the "millionairess' in
question did, and these three vests are
going to cost $25 apiece. The principal
color in her suit is green, SO she has Or
,dered one vest of sage green, one of
sgeranium red, embroidered in black and
gold, and one of white broadcloth, en-
Ioroidered in silver. With these vests
lshe will wear snow-white linen shirt
fronts and black satin ties.
And $25 is not so very eXtravagant for
. vest. when you stop to consider that
the garment is made when the material
lis wet and has to be nodded to the
figure.
A Panama straw hat, fawn color and
trimmed with scarlet and green, will
add one $40 item. and bicycle boots of
finest leather will add another of SIS.
Golf stockings in mixed greens and
tans will be worn in place of the high
top boot. An entire box of these stock
ings has been ordered. as it is difficult
to match them exactly. Fifteen dollars
o half dozen will buy the softest and
best in the shops.
But the browning extravaganza of
this particular "biking" maid is yet to
come. Her belt of elephant green leath-
er is clasped with a buckle of oxidized
silver set with emeralds. The buckle
lis in the form of two bicycle wheels; the
rim of each wheel is bordered with
small green stones, large single en-
erald forming the hub. This trifling
decoration to adorn the slender waist"
of the pretty wheelwoman will cost
treble the price of her wheel; that is to
say. exactly SOON. Y. Sunday Jour

Mud for the Complexion.

For certain diseases the mud bath
application is being made of it by the
woman of fashion. 1t is claimed that
there Is nothing equal to mud for the
complexion. The face and neck are
covered with o coating of clear black
river or swamp mud, which is permitted
to dry on, Care must be taken not to
get 1t into the eyes and not to leave any
spot of the skin uncovered, as it will
result in red blotch. When the coat is
removed, it is claimed that the skin will
be far softer than 1t is possible from
any of the well-known preparations;
all blemishes will be removed, includ-
ing hair and moles; and wrinkles will

One Ordered for a New York GIL Ii
to Cost $715.
The most expensive bicycle suit on
record has just been ordered at one of
the SWEETEST tailors in New York
The girl who meets the bill is worth
q million in her own right, is an athletic
beauty and a reigning belle in the ultra
smart set.
The suit which makes the bill is the
most elaborate ever designed in this
country. 1t is lined with silk, finished
with jewels and will cost lump sum of
$715.50.
Two Scott and Adie" shawls at SIS
apiece will be employed in making the
skirt and jacket. And, by the way,
these English shawls are the very latest
thing for any sort of fancy outing suit.
The skirt will be stitched half way
to the knees, with the lines of stitching
not over a sixteenth of an inch apart;
this is the new device to stiffen the
lower part of the skirt without adding
to the weight.
The edges of the jacket are also
stitched, and, together with the skirt,
1t is deliberately braided, which latter
touch adds some $25 to the expense.
Boomers and Innings of suit through
out will be of silk-not less than 16
yards of silk to be used, which gives an
other item of $3.50. With the boomers
have been ordered half dozen ill.,
terlining of the finest lawn at $3.50 n
pair.

To Save the Vablecloth.

Nothing contributes so much to the
soiling of the dinner cloth as the glass
of water which during meal is being
continually picked up and set down
again In a new place. Some thrifty
housewives have adopted the custom of
setting the glasses on tiny plates such
as are so generally used for bread and
butter nowadays. 1t has been found
that tablecloth keeps clean much
longer by the use Of these plates. and
the idea Is especially popular among
boarding house keepers.

Household Uses of Salt,

Salt puts out fire in the chimney.
In the oven under baking tins it will
prevent their scorching on the bottom.
Salt and vinegar will remove stains
from discolored teacups. Salt and soda
are excellent for bee stings and spider
bites. Salt thrown on SCOT which has
fallen on the carpet will prevent stain.
Put on ink when freshly spilled on a
carpet II will help in removing the
spot. Salt In whitewash makes it stick.
Salt thrown on a coal fire, which is low,
will revive it; used In sweeping carpets,
It will keep out moths.

How to Construct n China Closet and
SidebOard at Home

How to Construct n China Closet and
SidebOard at Home.
There are few housekeepers whose
dining-rooms are not provided with
sideboards who have not many times
felt the need of these most serviceable
pieces of furniture. 1t often happens,
however, that there is not room in an
existing dining-roorn for one of the
rather bulky sideEoards of the furniture
dealer, or it may be that the leanness
of the family purse puts the purchase
of this article out of the question In
either event, the design of combined
china closet and sideboard which is
given herewith may be of interest and
assistance.
The china closet shown here is half
again as wide as the ordinary closet
door, and is short in it's distance from
top to bottom. The door is hinged to
the bottom, instead of at the side, and
is provided with a handsome fiat brass
chain at either side to hold the door in
a horizontal position when open. This
then becomes available for use as a side
board at meal times, when extra room is
needed for the dessert, fruit, etc. The
shape of this closet is such that it would
only be possible in the case of a new
house being built, or an old one remod-
eled, or in case where the space adjoin-
ing the dining-room is such that china
closet can be constructed in the dining
room wall. Where these conditions OBJ
tain, the wide, low closet can be had.
Where there is an existing closet ex-
tending from floor to ceiling, or from
midway of the wall to the ceiling, how
