Mrs. Mckinley is said to be enjoying
much better health at present than at any

CINE which was controlled by this pretty,
fair-haired girl, Miss Lola NJ Coulter, who
takes keen interest in machinery. She
had only had the benefit Of a few lessons,
as a railroad in the country where she re-
sides was unknown until a few weeks ago,
when the new road was built to Dom Pedro,
Tuolumne county. The big locomotive inter

before she was in tho cab making careful
study of all the machinery.
The first construction train which reached
the top of Crmea hill, near stockton, COM

she lost no time in making the acquaintance
of Engineer j. Brown. who was her ideal

pilot or fireman ever worked more earnestly
to master the ms and outs OF the machinery

the little miss, who followed every move OF
the grim engineer.
After three CT four less 1ns she could handle
the throttle, but when she had been in the
cab two or three weeks she knew almost as
much as the engineer about how to turn on
and off the steam, set the brakes, slow up
when rounding a turn, or put on more speed
when approaching steep grade. She was
not content with learning how to make the
wheels move or stop, but wanted to know all
of the details, I'D

other many times OF late without the slight

John Temple Graves, editor of the At

she brings are vital. They take their places
among the issues of the times; and in their
scope, In their Importance, in their far
reaching effects, involving as they do full
half of the human race and the destiny OF
the whole race, 1t may be well said that
woman's struggle for her rights and nObler
standards makes up the foremost problem
of the world. After 5000 years OF subordna-
tion and acceptance woman Is at last in
rebellion against the things that be- For
sixty centuries she has been content to

and wider triumphs.
"First, then. woman has won her way TO

duce another sweet smelling scent.
Suppose a stronger variety OF violet scent
is wanted than can be obtained from the
orris root alone. This is easily accomplished.
Take equal weights OF orrs root and pulver-
lied starch. Over the starch pour two or
three drops at a time, of a strong extract
OF violets Take care mot to add enough Of
the extract to make the starch paste-like, or
even lumpy.
Keep stirring the starch until 1t is thor
oughly and evenly impregnsted with the vio-
let scent Now add the orris root to the
starch, mixing them thoroughly, and finally
passing the mixture, three or four times
through an ordinary patent flour sitter. AS
soon as this is done either put the sachet
powder into sachet bags, or into a wide
mouthed bottle and stopped 1t tightly. An
air-tight preserving jar will answer the pur-
pose OF a wide-mouthed bottle. Remember
always to keep sachets from the air until
you are ready to use them for the purpose
for which they are made.
The reader who likes the scent of verbena
can prepare sachet of long lasting frag-
rance. Save the peels of the lemons which
come into the household. Cut the peels up
in small bits and dry. When enough OF dried
peel has been saved to weigh half pound.
reduce 1t to a powder. This can be done in
the ordinary kitchen coffee mill. To this
add an ounce and a half of caraway seeds,
powdered, and mix the two well together.
Over this pour few drops at time, mix
ture of one and half drains Of oil of lemon
peel and three ounces of oil of bergamot.
The result will be very dainty powder.
Powdered coriander seed and powdered
flag root (calamus) may be mixed together
to form other sachets, and the proportion in
which each is to be used may safely be left
to the individual taste of the users. Both of
these ingredients may be added in small
quantities to any of the above recipes with
pleasing results.
