A Fad For Engaged Girls.

It used to be the correct thing when
young woman was engaged to be
married to have a double picture frame
in her boudoir, or bed room, contain
ing photograph of her fiance and her.
self. Twenty-Five years ago 1t was the
fashion to have your photograph taken
with the young man you were engaged
to, and that was placed on your dress
ing table. Now there is q new fad.
You must not, of course, be photo
graphed with your fiance-that is not
considered good form. Nor must you
even have your picture in the same
frame With his. The new fad is to
have frame holding four cabinet size
photographs, and in this you must put
four pictures of your fiance in four diff
ferent positions-one full face, one side
face, one three-quarters face and one
profile. 1t is rather an interesting
idea, as it is astonishing how changed
a persons expression is with the face
in different positions. One of these
sets of photographs was seen the other
day on young girls writing desk,
and it was hard to believe that the pro-
file and full face were of the same man.
This is one of the latest fads for en-

WHEN MY SHIP Ps.comss IN.

The sun will be low liz the Western sky,
With white clouds drifting lazily by,
Where the sea and horizon together lie,
When my ship comes sailing in.
Out of the mists of gathering night
Into the crimson sunset light,
With its fading dream OF day once
bright
My ship comes sailing in.
Across the bay its white sails CLEAN,
In the sky above the bright stars beam,
Like a shadow ship in q shadow dream,
My ship comes sailing in.
Over the waves by the breezes famed,
Loaded with gold from the Yukon's saaa,
To where wait upon the land,
My ship comes sailing in.
Oh, the man Mt the helm is good and bravo,
He heeds not the wind nor the tossing
wave,
Nor the voices that call from the deep seas
cave,
As my ship comes sailing in.
I'll wait and watch through the weary
years
With alternate hopes and despairlng fears,
TIL on the horizon u sail appears
And my ship comes sailing in.

New Iden in Furnishing.

Those who love the flavor of new
mown hay will be glad to learn of a
new idea in the furnishing of coun-
try bone or summer cottage. The
Indians of the North make a clumsy
but handsome mating of the Indian
meadow grass, which is very aromatic
and keeps exhaling its odor for
months and even years. 1t is applied
as wainscoting to a sitting room and
also as carpet to the floor. The
color is a cool and handsome sage
green and the perfume in damp
weather makes the house seem like q
bayfield, in midsummer.-New York

Serving the Hostess First.

The custom of serving tho hostess
Iirst at luncheons or dinners seems o
highly commendable one. There are
10 many little vagaries and novelties
Of service nowadays that it is difficult
10 know them all. A lady who was q
guest of honor at recent dinner
found herself embarrassed by having
q platter handed her holding, appar-
emily, a whole turkey. She glanced
it over with quick apprehension and
could see no evidence of its having
been carved. Thinking that frank
ness was the best way out of the situa-
ton, she appealed to her hostess for
instruction, which, of course, was
courteously impaired. 1t was with
both chagrin and relief that she found
the turkey was in condition to yield
to the touch of fork inserted in any
part of the fowl of which she wished
to partake. The list of table silver
grows every season. Many of the
utensils are passing fancies and are
not heard of, perhaps, outside of circles
who constantly seek such novelties.
Obviously, the hostess knows how she
wishes her guests served, and her ex-
ample is often relief and comfort

'French home-cooking," said one
who has lived in small city of France,
sis not properly appreciated in this
country. Most of our people adopt
and enjoy that which is found at the
great hotels and restaurants, and never
seem to realize that these represent the
wealthy classes of the large cities, and
not the cooking of the homes of the
French people. This is probably more
scientific and appetizing than the
home-cooking of any other country.
France has passed through many
periods OF great poverty and distress,
and has learned through the best Of
all teachers, necessity, how to live
upon the simplest and cheapest ma
terials. Their own artistic nature has
added to this both beauty and enjoya-
bility. Thus, for example, the fam
ous pot-a-feu is soup, made, nine times
out of ten, from vegetables alone, and
yet it is richer and more nutritious
than most homemade soups prepared
from meat and bones.
'The bisque, which is nothing more
or less in its simplest form than boiled
milk. into which has been rubbed OF
grated some animal tissue, and the
cream, which is boiled milk in which
has been put grated vegetable tissue,
are other excellent illustrations.
Through this simple use of milk,
soup can be made from cold boiled
potato, two or three tomatoes, some
carrots, celery, lettuce and other fami-
liar food substances.
'.Another class of simple and whole
some dishes consists of the salads
which are served to perfection in
southern France. The lettuce and
chicory, the satisfy, water cress, beet
top, the heart Of cabbage, the sprouts
of beans, dandelions, sorrel, chives,
shalot, onion, lentils and nasturtium
leaves and seeds, and other humble
forms of plant life, are employed for
this purpose. In this country enough
vegetable resources of this sort are al
lowed to go to waste in the meadows
and fields and gardens to give salad
once week to every man, woman and
child.-New York Mail and Express.

The best kind of starch to use for
stiffening laces, handkerchiefs, wash
ing silks or any other thin fabric is
made with gum arabic. Put an ounce
of gum arabic into a bottle and pour
over it cup of cold water and place
it over the fire until the gum is dis
solved; then. strain it through fine
sieve or piece of cheesecloth into
another bottle. When it is cold add
to it half gill of alcohol and it will
be ready for use when needed. For
dainty laces half q teaspoonful Of the
starch mixed with half cupful of
water will give ample stiffness. Larg-
er amounts should be added according
to the nature of the different fabrics.

A certain Eastern company that
some time ago was anxious to purchase
a silver-lead mine, found itself in a
state of uncertainty. What seemed to
be a really attractive mine was found
to be In the market, and negotiations
for its purchase were entered upon
The result of these negotiations Is re.
ported by the Spokane Miner and Elec,
trician.
AS the ore assayed well. and every.
thing looked propitous, mining ex.
pert was sent to examine the mine. His
report was favorable, in fact, it was too
favorable. He certified that the ore
was there In large quantities, and that
it was extremely valuable. His un-
qualified praise aroused the suspicion
of the would-be purchasers. If the
mine was indeed so valuable, why was
the price so low? The company deter
mined to investigate more closely.
At this point a well-known mining
man Of Spokane recommended that a
certain rough-and-ready genius, a man
who had graduated from no college,
should be sent to look at the mine.
"You can depend on his judgment"
said the miningman, land h. will tell
you nothing but the truth. You had
better trust to his report which, in all
probability. will be short and very
much to the point"
The advice was followed, and the
event showed the wisdom of the ad-
wiser. AS he had predicted, the report
was short and full of pith. 1t read sub
stantially as follows:
Dear Sirs-I have made an examina.
tion of the Cliff Dwellers mine, and re-
port that the ore is there as ripresinted,
that 1t assays high, that it is there in
plenty, but to get your supplies in and
your ore out you will need a pack-thrain
of bald agles."
The mine was rejected on the ground
OF inaccessibility.
