Nc MlLLINERY WORLD.
Some Ncw Notions in Hendwenr for
the Ladies'.


Crinoline is much used for shaping
hats, aud it can be twisted, tucked,
doubled and waved to suit amy style of
face. For large faces. hats should have
much ribbon and floral decoration, and
if the ribbon be fancy and gauzy it
should be put on in big punches. In
fact, profusion of trimming, espe-
cially flowers, is to be observedin near
ly all the seasons millinery.
The fashionable hats and bonnets,
particularly those from Paris, have
somewhat harsh color combina lions,
which only n Partisan milliner can
make effective. a hat of black straw
may be ornamented with dark red and
orange yellow, or with "fresh-leaf"
green, violet and black.
Canvas sailors are now as much worn
as straw ones; but they should be
trimmed with ample bows of ribbon,
and some fine flowers to cover the crown
of the head when the hair is worn low.
Many charming toques have a founda-
tion of plated net, gauze, chiffon or
silk muslin. trimmed with medium
sized flowers and feathers. often of two
or three colors. or bird-of-paradise
plumes. Toques are always becoming
to young people. but for summer wear
they are ruinous to the complexion.
Wide. floppy hats give a rural air WHICH
can be affected at uoOther season.
Leghorns are very enchanting on
youthful heads; but the very coarse
straws now in vogue are godsendito
the middle-aged woman. because their
ruggedness COMEDIES agreeably with
even a wrinkle or two.
Bonnets are much appreciated for
dressy wear. The latest caprice goes up
to point in the middle Theater bon
nets are made of gold,plait. or spangled
and embroidered lace, andlare trimmed
with quantities of violets- The hair is
much waved beneath them. The bon
net itself goes fat on the hair in front,

a jeweled buckle, stands up from the

STILL A .wiDDER."
The CaIlnnts Deserted When They
Discovered Her Poverty.


When somebody started a rumor one
day at Injun Creek that Widow shep-
ardson had just fallen heir to $1,000
there was n cyclonic rush of suitors
for her cabin that carried everything
before it, and the widow, who sat on
her doorstep smoking corncob pipe,
nearly fainted from surprise when the
excited crowd piled into the yard and
shouted as one man:
"Widder, Will ye marry me"
"Shoo" she family calculated, when
she could get her breath and realized
what was wanted of her. Its tooken
this crowd powerful long time to ask
me that queshun, and l hope yer in
airnest?"
II arr" everybody exclaimed, bow
ing and smirling.
Sure it's me yer artcr, eh?" she
rather anxiously queried.
"Yo betl" was the hearty reply.
wall, then, boys, it's the Widder
Shepardson's bizness TO make one o.
ye happy, but don't ye rush her She's
goin' to set right yere and pick the man
with the best record if it takes month
and she gifts left in the end Spit out
yer records, some o. ye."
Every one who had a record, and
every one who hadn't, began talking at
once, but after a moment Broncho Bill
drew his guns, demanded silence, and
said:
'Now, ye critters keep shet, and let
her har us one at a time. Jest hold
on till 1 tell the dear widder that I'm
one O. the fttinist fighters in the ken
try, ought to be in the legislashure if

the pint, / licked her departed one in
far fout two weeks afore he died.
If We want man with n record, wilder,
1 reckon mine'll fetch ye."
IT'S purity far, Bill" she replied
''but jest let me ask ye what amount o
cash We kin call yer own?"
"Cash!" he exclaimed in great sur
prise. what difference kin that make
to wilder with $1,000 cash of her
own?"
"But--but hain't got no $4,000 cash,
Bill"
w -h-a-t! shouted the bOyS, as tney
stopped elbowing each other and fell
back in amazement. "Ye hain't wuth

"Shoi in course not; but less talk
about this marryin' bizness. Now
I'm perfeckly willin' to-"
But Broncho Bill stampeded the
crowd by leading a break for the road
and although the Widow Shepardsor
gave pursuit they were soon lost &c
view in a cloud of dust. And, as Can
tankerous Charley remarked half al
hour later, as the breathless GROVE
lined up for some "pizen" at the bar o

Bean SOM.

There are a great many people who
"don't know beans" so far as cooking
them properly is concerned, according
to the new hygiene of foods. The Jour
nal of Hygiene gives this recipe for a
perfectly nutritious and entirely di-
gestlble bean soup; Soak the beans
over night in water to which a little
soda has been added. In the morning
rub them well TO remove the skins,
which are indigestible and the cause of
the gases generated by eating beans.
Put the beans in kettle, cover with
cold water, boil till tender, then wash
through a fine sieve. Have quart of
rich milk heating in a double boiler,
and stir into the beans till of the prop
er consistency. Season to taste. This
IS very nutritious. and especially good
for delicate people.-Detroit Free

A MEDICAL WARNING.
Medicine should Never BE CareIessIy
Taken.

Taken
In regard to liniments, let me warn
you of the fact that most of the lini-
ments which have great powerfor good
contain sufficiently large quantities of
such powerful drugs as ammonia,
chloroform. aconite or opium to pro-
duce serious or even fatal poisoning if
taken internally, and therefore bottles
containing liniments should not be
placed in the closet with bottles con-
tanning medicines for internal use.
Further than this, liniment bottles
should always be of peculiar shape or
bear mark so startling or peculiar in
its appearance as to call attention to
the fact that the liniment is poisonous
if taken internally.
All medical men of large experience
have frequently met with cases in
which patients have placed a bottle of
medicine TO their lips and taken a
draught of it's contents in dark room,
under the impression that there was
"only one bottle upon the Shelf" when
| in reality some other member of the
family had placed other bottles there.
In this way serious cases of poisoning
have occurred. In other instances a
wife. rising in the night to give some
medicine to her husband or child, has
picked up the wrong bottle in the dim
light and administered a fatal dose
with terrible result.
Where medicine is ordered in drops
you should always obtain a medicine
dropper from n drug store and avoid
attempting to drop the medicine from
the bottle, as it requires a very steady
hand and accurate counting to avoid a
mistake.
Finally, let me warn you against one
common habit. which is closely con-
nected with the use of bottles contain
ing old medicines, and is strongly con-
demned by oculists. who most fire.
quently meet with 1.-THE habit of pre-
serving old medicine droppers. which
have been used for dropping fluids into
the eye. Quite frequently powerful
medicines dry in these droppers and
when they are used some months after
ward for the introduction of eye-wash-
es they produce symptoms which very
seriously alarm the patient and which
may TO some extent mystify the practi-
;ioner.-H. \. Hare, NJ. d., in Chautau-
luan.
