they are more generally becoming than
anything else. This year they are
made longer than last, and are shaped
at the back of the neck so they can be
turned up or down. There are some
very smart ones of the bear fur, others
of Alaska sable, while q very large
number are of fox and lynx. They
are all made on the same plan, and can
be worn with any style of costume.
Stoles are shaped like cape in the
back. and have long straight ends
down the front; these are made of all
the different furs, and will look par
ticularly we'll with the present style of
dress. The victorines and pelerines
have so much in common it is difficult
to decide which is the sma-test. They
are very warm garments, because they
protect the chest and the back so thor
oughly. They are cut most carefully
this year, so as to keep the lines of the
figure unbroken, and the long ends in
front are most graceful and becoming.
There is one thing to be said about all
the different fashions in fur this year,
and that is, old garments can be re-
modelled. The expense is always con-
siderable if the work is we'll done, but
it is not anything like what the ex-
pense for a new garment would be,
and many superb old pieces Of fur
which have been laid away have now
been brought to light again.-Harper's

Patent Cow For Hunters.

A Nebraska man has invented a
patent COW for hunters. The inven.
tion presents the perfect outward SEM
blance Of a'most peacesble and amiable
COW, but the forelegs and hindlegs are
in fact the two pairs of legs of two
men. They are armed with guns and
have plentiful supply of ammunition.
The patent COW moves along like an
ordinary harmless animal until it is in
the midst of lot of birds, when it
comes open and the two men inside
blaze away. Formed in the sides OF
the frame, at suitable points, are win
dows or openings protected BY out.

Household Hints.

All cold vegetables left over should
be saved for future use in soups or
salads.
Brushes of all kinds should be rest
ed on the bristles to dry, as otherwise
the water will rot the brush.
Before putting away the seasons
straw hats, go over them thoroughly
with stiff old toothbrush dipped in
lemon juice and -four of sulphur. This
will effectually remove the tan.
Save fruit pits, those from cherries,
plums, peaches and apricots, toward
the autumn open fire. Ahandful then
tossed on the Goals will add glowing
flame and give out pungent aromatic
odor.
To prevent lamp chimneys from
cracking, wrap each chimney loosely
but entirely in cloth; place them to.
gether in kettle and cover with cold
water. Bring the water to boil, con.
tinue the heat ten or fifteen minutes
and then cool off. By this tempering
they are toughened against all ordin.
ary lamp heat.
Corn starch will remove grease most
efectually. Rub a little fresh, dry
corn starch into the soiled place, and
it will at once begin the process of
abs ,roing the grease. Brush the first
used off carefully from the garment'
and proceed in the same way with
more until the Disagreement has en-
tirely disappeared. -
The unpleasant odor arising from
perspiration may be obviated in the
following way: Put two tablespoon
fuls of compound spirits of ammonia
in basin of water, wash the face,
hands and arms with it and the skin
will be clean. neat and fresh. This
is cheap and harmless wash, recon-
mended by an experienced physician.
It is claimed that the best mouth
washes may be bought in tablet form.
Two of them can be made into wash

lets are excellent, imparting the frag-
rance of violets. Keep the teeth
scrupulously clean, and at the slight
est hint at decay 60 at once to the
dentist-the best one that can be
found.
A piece of chamois skin will remove
any spot or stain from tan shoes if ap-
piled within twenty-four hours. A
nightly rubbing with the same material
will keep tan shoes looking fresh and
new for weeks. The inside of worn
kid gloves will answer the same pur-
pose. These agents are far better
than most of the so-called cleaners and
polishers.

The Bolt Smote Her Feet.

A strange result of slight stroke OF
lightning is reported from the country
north of Wabash, Ind. The victim is
Mary, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of John Oswalt. One evening she was
standing in the doorway of her home,
when there was a binding flash OF
lightning and a deafening crack Of
thunder. She was stunned but a few
minutes, and when, an hour later, she
removed her shoe, she found the soles
of her feet covered with numberless
small blisters. Otherwise she was not

FATHER HAS SOLD HIS WHEAT.

There is nothing too good for US now,
I shall have new sealsk1n sacque,
And Johnny Is going to get him horse
That can pass anything on the track; :
And mother will dress up in silks,
And, oh, but life's easy and sweet
Everybody's polite and clever and kind
Since father has sold his wheat!
Well build new house in the spring,
And we'll store the old organ away,
And as soon as the dicker Is made
shall have piano to play.
The fellows are coming In droves
And life Is deliciously sweet
Oh. every one seems just too lovely to US
Since father has sold his wheatl

Promenade Costume.


A promenade costume of Castor
colored wool, showing lines of deeper
tone, is illustrated in the large en-
craving. May Manton says: The full
fronts are composed of soft silk and
the free edges of the basque are
trimmed with black velvet ribbon.
The stylish hat has a soft pulled crown
of velvet, with aigrettes rising at the
left. The basque, which is decided
change from the round waists of last
season, has the fanciful fronts arranged
upon a fitted lining that closes in the
centre-front. The vest of silk is gath
cred at the neck and laid at the waist
line in plaits; tiny pointed girdle
finishes the lower edge. The closing
is effected through the centre-front,
but may be made on the left side If
preferred. The fronts that open wide
ly over the vest are uniquely shaped.
The back is fitted with the usual num-
Der of seams, and fulness forming
hukes are cut in each seam as an ex-
tension below the waist line. The
crush collar extends round the front
of the throat and meets the standing
portion, which is scanned to the back,
the closing being at the left side. The
two-seamed sleeves are cut with slight
fulness at the top. The model is en-
tirely correct in fit and finish, and is
adapted to all manner of fabrics, in
cluding zibeline, canvas cloth, whip
cord, broadcloth or camel's hair.
To make this basque for a lady in
medium size will require three yards
of forty -four-inch material.

Regulating the Pitch of Bells.

In the casting of bells of large size
for chimes or given tones, the skill
and secret of success lie in getting the
thickness of the ring which is at the
mouth of the bell just right. 1t will
we noticed that just little back from
the edge of the bell, on the fange, the
metal is thicker than in any other por.
ton. The maker, in order to get the
desired tone, makes drawing of the
bell, and in a cross section of this
thicker ring, describes a circle, the
diameter of which determines the tone.
