For Cold Feet.

To 'be sure people in the south suf-
fer from cold feet in winter as we'll
as in the extreme north.
While cold eNtremities are not al
ways the cause of serious throat or
lung trou bles, these are greatly ag-
gravated by constantly cold hands
and feet. The circulation of the blood
in these parts is poor, and they must
be exercised several times a day until
the trouble is finally remedied. Wool
en- stockings should be worn if possi-
BILE, and the feet as well protected as
good shoes and overshoes or rubbers
will permit. The foot exercise consists
of pointing the toes downward from
the ankle until a slight pain is felt
and then turning them upward, doing
this eight or ten times, and then re-
Taxing the muscles at the ankle and
shaking the foot. This exercise per-
sisted in WIFI insure a good circula-
tion in One feet.

color of his tie, the pattern and the
hang of his trousers, his friends an
rings, if amy. For his propensitie:
walk around and look carefully at the
back of his head, and remember,
girls, never to marry a man whose
neck bulges ever so little over his col
lar. If you want a successful man
see that he is neat in his attire, and
that he has a neat foot; he will move
quicker and get over obstacles faster
than a man who falls over his own
toes, and trips up other folks with
them, too. For his breeding, talk SEN
timent. and ask him to carry a band
box down the public street, when
you've just had a row. To test his
temper, ted him his nose is little ON
one side, and you don't like the way
his hair grows, and if that don't fetch
him, nothing will. "-EXchange.

Lavender Pillows.

Lavender pillows are the latest
comforts for tired heads, and the bare
Thought of the clean, refreshing
scent seems to give relief. Certainly
they are likely to be much more invit-
ing than the pine needle cushions
that are used for the same purpose.
The covers are made of heliOtrOpe-
colored linen, prettily embroidered
with flax threads of the same tint,
but in paler shades. Others are COW
cred with white linen, and are dec
grated with spikes of the lavender
flowers worked in the natural cOlors.
These cushions are development OF
the lavender sachets tlhat have been
so much apprecia ted.

Pressed Chicken.

Cut the chicken UP and boil it in as
ittIe water as possible. 1t must be
cooked until the meat drops from the
bones. Then chop it fine, season it
with salt and pepper and press it into
a bowl, putting slices of hard boiled
eggs here and there Through it. When
the bowl is nearly full add the chick
EN- jelly made by boiling down the
water in which the chicken was
cooked, after having added a large
pinch of ge.atine. There should be
just enough of the jelly to cover the
meat, and it must be strained
through a coarse cloth before pouring
it over the meat. Set the dish In a
cold place to harden, then cut it into
thin slices and serve.

pers, and the little wrap called a
nightingale to slip ON over the night
gown, are all must haves." A pretty
flannel or cashmere dressing sacque
button!holed in scallops all around,
with ribbon belt, large sleeves and a
turnover COLLAR, is charming. A
adinty nightgown of muslin, cambria
or batiste tied with ribbons: hem
stitched linen covers for sofa pillows,
and an. embroidered sheet-sham of
linen are all gifts that go far toward
making the invalid's life happier. A
foot-rest, hassock, tiny table and CAN
dlestick to stand by the bed are con-
venient necessities often absent from
this room of suffering. Loose wrap
peers similar to the Mother Hubbard
pattern can be of outing flannel or
real flannel, and eiderdown is made
up as loose princesse wrapper with
ribbon-bound edges and cord about
the waist. Have a rolling collar, ann
ply large arm sizes, etc. Any thing
given to AN invalid should be made
before it is presented.

Fruit Cake.

A delicious Christmas cake may be
made by creaming together one

beaten eggs and two tablespoonful
of molasses in which a teaspoonful OF
soda has been dissolved; wineglass
of milk, one pound of flour, one
pound of currants and raisins, two

One of the special and sensational
features of Mondays session of hhe
United States court at Jacksonville
was the arraigmment of w. A. Drawn
er and his wife, Laura 2. Brawner, on
the charge of conspiring with others
to deposit in the United States postof-
flee certain unavailable matter. They
pleaded not guilty, and the case was
set for trial March II, 1897. They
were released on giving bail for $500
each. Their home is at Maitland

scenery painted ON it. One piece is
a circle and the other is crescent
shaped. The two pieces are button-
holed together with red silk, and all
the edges are finished in "a like man
ner. Violet ribbon bows are fasten-
ed ON each side and long loop to
hang by. Such a photo holder could
be made of cardboard and covered
with figured or plain silk, satin or
velvet, with edges finished in a like
manner.
A handkerchief pocket for grand
mother lis made of small brass rings,
crocheted over with black knitting
silk. 1t took just 100 rings, which
may be procured for a few CENTS per
dozen. 1t is lined with black China
silk, but would be equally as pretty
without it. These pockets may take
any form desired, and look very pref
ty suspended from the belt, for either
young or old.
Then, what is really the incest of
all is shoe box for mother. 1t is
made of a common wooden box, pro-
vided with a cover ON hinges. Four
roller casters are screwed to the bot
tom SO it moves easily. The inside is
lined with green denim fastened with
brass-headed tacks. There is a series
of pockets made of THE denim tackled
The top of the cover is padded with a
fine straw mattress, and covered with
green brocaded denim. Around the
edge is a puff of the plain material.
The balance below is gathered into
two puffs and Fastened with tiny
tacks. Yards of green cord are tack
ed over the seams, making a very
pretty finish.
An odd, little round willow basket
to be filled with candy, is pretty. A
strip of pink silk, twice as long as the
circumference of the top Of the bas-
l<et is hemmed at one side and the
ends are sewed together. This circle
of silk is then gathered and sewed
into the top of the basket, leaving all
raw edge on the inside. A double
drawing string (baby ribbon is used)
is then drawn through the hem.
When pulled together the top of the
basket is thus covered with the pref
ty silk.

Making Presents.

Notwith standing the great holiday
season has passed, there may be found
no better time to begin for the fol-
lowing years giving than now. So
we shall give our readers the best we
can find ait intervals SO that they may
keep all and make their own selec-
tions.
The Prairie Farmer offers the fol-
lowing:
\ handsome sofa pillow, and by the
way, pillows are used everywhere
noN-is made of tam-colored denim,
over which are scattered, in every
fantastic position possible, little, big
eyed, long-legged brownies, worked
in outline stitch with black Roman
floss. The pillow is rather large and
surrounded with three-inch ruffie of
black China silk. Another pretty
thing was white linen picture frame

centerpiece, twenty inches i'm diam
eter. is beauty. A dainty design in
holly is selected for this, and the
shading of the rich green with the
bright crimson OF the berries is a
most beautiful combination, worked
on white linen. Another bit of EN-
broidery is baby's quilt of white
silkaline, which looks very much like
China silk. Tiny sprays of pink rose
buds are scattered here and there
over the top of it and the whole cover
is buttonholed around the edge with
coarse pink silk.
A receptacle for thread, needles,
thimble, pins, scissors, etc, which
could be attached to the belt while
sewing, lis another little novelty. The
foundation is a piece of stiff card
board eight inches long and five
inches wide. A piece or dark red sat
in is sewed ON slightly pulled and the
back is neatly covered with a piece OF
China silk. A strip of figured silk
about five inches wide had a hem
turned in on one side and a piece of
elastic a little longer than the width
of the cardboard is pulled through.
This lis sewed to the lower pant of the
cardboard, making a pocket into
which could be placed spools, thin
bles, buttons and various ARTICLES.
Three half circles of white flannel
with pinked edges were sewed ait the
top. Several yards of inch-wide req
ribbon are used for bows and by
which to hang a neat pair of scissors
and a spool of black and one of whit tie
thread
Another odd little thing is a hairpin
holder. 1t is made of a small Japan
ese basket, from which is removed
the bottom. 1t lis filled with curled
hair and over each opening is sewed
a piece of net crocheted of blue silk.
A bow of blue ribbon with a loop to
hang by finishes is. A dozen or so of
fine hairpins are stuck into it, and
it will make very acceptable little
remembrance to any girl. There is
Also an odd photograph holder made
OF birchbark, with three TINY bits of
