THE HOUSEHOLD.

The fashionable tint for lace is
that Of ripe corn, more of a buff
than the butter color of last Spring.
1t is exceedingly rich-looking.
A novelty in the belt line is made
of bright coiored plaid ribbon of a
heavy weave, and is fastened with
ii plaid enamel buckle, which
matches perfectly.
Cashmere is coming into vogue
again. Dealers say that its return
is being greeted with enthusiasm.
There never was a more manageable
or graceful material.
If q woman wishes to be at the
height of Partisan fashion she must
tilt her hat over her nose, wear a
twist of tulle under her chin, put
on tightly-ftting sleeves and in
Vulnerable little frills all over her
gown.
Narrow velvet ribbon is used On
everything. An imported cape of
old rose silk has rows of black
velvet ribbon running down it at
intervals of about an inch. Round
the shoulder the silk is plated in
so thickly that at the neck nothing
is visible except the ribbon.
The new liberty scarfs are simply
wide scarfs of silk muslin in pale
rose, delicate blue or violet or any
dainty color. Slender maidens
drape these, fichu like, around their
shoulders and lie them in a bontIapt
bow in front. This scarf usually
measures eighteen inches in. width
by two yards in legth.

SCREEN FOR SICK ROOM.
II C0ptalns Receptacles for theTrihe.
SEEDED by All lnynisda,

Hee4SH py ALI 4nYGEs0a,
For the especial delectation Of those
who must stay in bed much of the time
there is screen made which not only
shuts off dangerous draughts and Curl
Gus eyes, but has receptacles for many
of the trifles necessary for the invalid
both day and night
1t has three panels, the central one
purely decorative and the two outside
fitted with shelves, pockets and brach
cts. There is q candle on an extension,
arm, a place for the morning paper and
one for the many letters that come tc
the Shut ill.,"
A bracket placed conveniently low
holds watch to tick away the hours
and there is place for any medicine
necessary, while high shelf is made
attractive with books, photograp hs and
flowers.
An invalid well enough for the coucl
or easy-chair will find this screen as
desirable an accessory as does one who
is confined to the bed.
One who is either an occasional or q
permanent invalid has two great trials
not usually counted in the list of hel
sufferings: one is the inconvenience OF
asking for every tiny little want-a
handkerchief, pencil. postage stamp
or any one OF hundred things de,
sired by any active mind for an inactive
body.
She will often go without rather than
ask, or, having asked 20 often, grows
irritable at the conditions which re
luire her to be always demanding ia

MISS RAuDETS EYES.
From Hazel the French Actress Had
Them Changed to Black.

From Hazel the French Actress Had
Them Changed to Black.
Miss Louis Baudet's eyes on her last
aisit to this country were light hazel.
Now they are a dark, rich brown, which
at times deepens into a jetty black. The
change in the tint of Miss Baudet's
eyes was brought about by Prof Henri
Placide Dumont, the famous Partisan
oculist, demonstrator-in-chi at the
Paris eye hospital, chief operator at the
Ophthalmic institute, and member of
many scientific societies. Miss Bau-
diets hair is rich, reddish brown. The
ACTRESS suggested one night to Prof.
Dumont that he ought to remedy ma
lures unllindliness and make her eyes
the same color as her hair. So he con-
scented. The operation was simple.
Miss Baudet was prepared for it by a,
three days bathing of her eyes with
,liniments which softened the ex-
terror of the "ball." Then followed
some days confinement in a darkened
room. Next she subjected her eyes to
Vapor arising from chemicals, the COM
ponents Of which are only known
to the professor. She says she"smoked"
her eyes for an hour or more daily for
one week. They soon began to change
color. Little patches of brown APP
,peared on the clear hazel. These
patches spread until the color appeared
notified. Dumont suspended opera
tons for a week, and then resumed
;the1AaA The smoking" was continued
for three days longer, at the end of
which time Miss Baudet's eyes were of
the rich hue they are now. She de-
,clares that her eyesight is better than
ever.
, DIR. E. S. Peck, of No. SO West Fiftieth
street, New York, has turned the eyes
q rabbit to have one red and one green
eye. He said: "The eyebaIl is rotated
inward by means of forceps, a hypoder-
mic syringe is passed through the back
part of the white of the eye containing
a weak solution Of permanganate of
potash, or of yellow or red prussiate of
potash, or of nitrate of silver, or of SOL
,uble Prussian blue. In few hours
these fluids will have entirely traversed
the vitreous humor of the eye and will
have passed through the canal outside
of the lens and into the anterior cham
Der in front, and will finally be forced
under the colorless external coat of the
eyeball. The length of time for such
transmission varies in different animals
and with different fluids. The usual
time spent in these transmissions is
from three to six hours in the human
eye."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

top like the one illustrated. The sticks
are in black pearl, and the mousseline
de sole is black, with black silk at the
edge exquisitely painted with cupids
and figures in Louis XVI. costumes.
Paillettes are distributed over the sticks
and all. Fans of white mousseline
with fine Brussels lace on the edge and
tortoise shell sticks are the daintiest lit
tie trities imaginable. Medallions of
silk set in point lace and painted with
Psychological figures and finished with
mother-of-pearl sticks are the modern
reproduction of the Louis XIV. fan, but
in the old days these fans were of parch-
ment or fine leather.
Large sums of money can be invested
in this little article of dress, and some
of the later limitations of this old style
cost from $50 to 81 600, according to the
fneness of the workmanship. A fan of
green silk painted with violets, with
violet wood sticks stained green, is
charming little novelty. Much less ex-
pensive are the Chinese fans of fine
crepe painted with fowers.-N. Y. Sun.

1t is interesting to note the
anxiety manifested by the old part
isan politicians to get up the politi-
cal straw man, the tariff for an
tissue" They seem to think they
could thump it in the most scientific
manner to the edifcation of the
"party" as in the good old times.
Many of these devotees of ''the
party" appear like fish out Of water
since their occupation is gone, OF
humping the straw tariff man.
They have been drilled or trained
to put in all the fancy blows on
this political dummy so thoroughly
that they are terribly nonpulsed
pulsed since the new questions have
been presented for a display of their
science.
How eager the takers of both old
parties are to trot out the old tariff
humbug and shelve all live ques
tons. Speaker Reed is holding the
House back and not permitting any
thing being done in the way OF
legislation for fear some live
questions will be introduced. lie
refuses TO appoint committees and
nothing can be done of course. An
army of clerks, stenographers and
other appendages are in a state OF
idleness on full pay, waiting till
the senate disposes of the tariff
which may be two months yet.
In place of the lower house being
a deliberature body under the rules
which the speaker is allowed to
make, it has degenerated into an
assembly under the despotic will OF
one man. Just now that one man
is holding everything up in holy
terror of the money question, hoping
that his party may in some way
dodge it. The money question is
the only one that can interest the
country. The tariff excites no
interest although they-the old
leaders of both old parties are doing
all in their power to induce the
country to become excited over this
juggle.
The Republican party is afraid
of the money question, but the
party must face it. The tariff will
not last forever. This new bill
must go through or die before the
summer is ended, and after it the
fall elections are the ordeal. Reed
cannot hold the people back in
November when we look for the
most decided out burst of disgust
that any party ever faced.

Some Are Beautifully Painted and Most

The most expressive little accessory
of q weman's dress Is her fan, if she
but understands the art of using it..
French fans are the most attractive and
dainty in design. Size is the important
point in the fashion Of fans just at pres

If we go back to the time of our great
grandmothers and resurrect their tiny
fans, we will have the proper size for
use to-day.
The Empire and Louis Quinze fans
are the popular shapes. The sticks are
of mother-of=pearl, ivory, tortoise shell,
ebony, and violet wood, beautifully
enameled and inlaid with gold. Black
mother-of-pearl is novelty this sea-
son, and the ornamentation of gold
shows off with good effect on the dark
background. Despite the small size,
these fans display the most perfect
specimens of fine painting in Vatican
figures, birds and flowers, and the very
prettiest mounts are transparent with
various designs in silk introduced at the

Why Confidence is Needed.

In the report of the Comptroller

Cash in trust companies 26,sG0,S71

Cash in private banks 6.157,561
Only about $5OO,OO0,OOO with
which to pay nearly 100000, 900
of deposits. Is it any wonder that
"confdence' is necessary to keep
the rotten, baseless, skinning struc-
ture from top?ling over? Suppose
all the depositors should take a
notion to demand the money the
same day, what would happen ?
Every bank in the country would
close doors and keep the $5,000,-
100000 of the peoples money.
The depositors are absolutely with
out protection and at the mercy of
the banks. How different it would
be were they government deposi
tories; then no one would be in
danger of losing a cent. 1t will also
be observed from the above that
the banks owe their depositors

Every dollar we have is borrowed
