HOW TO BE DAINTY.
The Quality Is Seldom Unborn. but
Is the Result of Com
slant Culture.

DaintinesS is hat undcfinable quail
itv in a girl which causes her to APP
near more charming than those around
her: it is an attribute that is seldom
Unborn. but the result of culture. She
q certain of making a good impress
sion where others ANONYMOUSLY fail
TO do so. a fact which causes jealousy
and makes those who are not dainty
look on with envious admiration, and
wish that they, too, possessed the sub
tie charm.
DaintineSs. however. though not in
herited. is the outcome of habit. y girl
is dainty because she has been accns-
toned to give thought and time to be-
ing agreeable to others. Thus it
comes natural to her. Her wealth Of
hair always so glossy and carefully
trained owes its satiny appearance TO
the fact that she brushes ii regularly
and frequently, and not solely when
she feels in a mood to do so. or when
she desires TO look extra nice. Her
pretty. soft hands. with their shell-like
pink nails. are always in an immacu-
late condition. for il is her habit and
pride to keep them spotless'y clean.
Her person appears to shed around her
a fragrant perfume. delicate, vet quite
~perceptible. This subtle fragrance
comes from her dainty way of put
ting her dresses into drawers which
contain sachets of sweetly smelling
powder. the scent from which seems to
he a part of herself.-Boston Herald.

Canes and Wraps.

The new capes and wraps are exceed
ingly eccentric in appearance. Ihey
are all made to look very long and nar-
row about the shoulders, showing that
small sleeves are to stay in fashion for
quite awhile. Many of the capes are
made of peau de sole, some are of satin,
but those that are seen at present are
of taffeta silk in all the queer, old
fashioned shade. There is a shade of
green. for instance, trimmed with mar
row black velvet ribbon. The capes lit
close over the shoulders, but broaden
out around the waist. Sometimes they
are made with 4 double cape, but most
lave but one, and the trimming con-
sists of a narrow ruffie of the same
silk, edged at either side with the
black velvet ribbon put on quite full.
The collar is very high ard flaring, and
is made of ruffles of the silk edged with
velvet, or else just oS the silk itself. As
vet these capes are only used as driv-
ing wraps, and it viii be some time be-
fore they are seer in the street. 1t is
Just as well, perhaps, for at present
they are so markedly different from
anything that has been worm that they
look a trif1e conspicuous. The ten
dency of capes is apparently to
elongate into n point at the back. and
sometimes at back and front both,
much after the fashion of a shawl

ACTUALLY FORGOT HIS WIFE.
Chicago Lawyer Who Has n Good
Claim on the Championship
for Observation-Disclosures.

Did you ever know any man so alb
sent-minded as to forget he had a wife
while walking in the street with her?
Judge Thomas, of Dearborn street, a
brother of Congressman Thomas, of
Michigan. tells a good story on himself
which aptly illustrates this curious
phase of psychological phenomena.
1--WE were living on the South side at
the time" he said, land one night, in
company with Mrs. Thomas, | vent C

do lot recall the name of the lecturer,
but that cuts no ice in this story. AS
we were coming out of the hall at the
close, l happened TO think of a letter in
nv pocket which / had forgotten to
major post, as John Bull would say.
"Ne walked as far south as the Pal
mer house, and l left Mrs. Thomas
standing for a few moments at Monroe
street while l FASTENED in to post my
letter. We were intending to take a
south-bound car together as soon as l
came out. but for some reason-what
was it?-my errand caused me to for

Suddenly a strange sensation came
over me-that l had forgotten some
thing. or missed something-and be-
gan feeling about the seat for mag

HOUSE BAGS.
They Are Useful for Various Purposes
and Decidedly Con-
venient.

There are few things that conduce
more to an orderly management of the
house than a full supply of household
bags. These bags, when used for utili-
tartan purposes, like holding dust
cloths, soiled clothes or any similar
purpose, should be made of washable
material. The value of a set of bags
for soiled clothes over a hamper of
willowware will be a subject of dis
pute. A hamper is more convenient,
but the bags are cheaper, and by using
several the fine clothes may be kept
separate from the bedding and coarser
clothes. In any event it is convenient
to have q small laundry bag TO hold
cuffs and collars separate from the
other clothes.
One of the most useful of all house
hold bags is a clothespin bag. 1t is
more convenient to use than a basket
which must be held in the hand or set
down, where it must be continually
moved, and one must stOop over it to
reach it. A clothespin bag made in a
fat, pocket shape. with the opening a
slit in front. can be fastened around
the waist when hanging up clothes.
and thus il is always at the hand. 1t is
even more convenient than a clothes
pin apron. with the bottom turned M
to form a bag TO hold The pins.
The utility of bags to hold shoes
and slippers and for patches of various
material need not be dwelt upon. They
are part of the outfit of every orderly
household. Rags for busting cloths,
made of fancy cotton cEintz and lined
with plain glacc cotton. should hang in
the vicinity of every room in the house.
where they can be always in reach.
Each bag should contain at least one
hemmed busting cloth in a clearly con-
Gition. As soon as n cloth has become
so much soiled that il needs washing
il should be put in the wash. and a
clean busting cloth should replace il
from the supply IN hand. \ few yards
of cheesecloth will furnish n supply OF
these busting cloths, which should be
made about half a yard square and
hemmed. 1t is quite possible, how
ever. to cumber up 4 house with bags
which serve no Legitimate purpose
Bags of silk and other smooth material
which are made chiefly to be orna'
mental. usually defeat their object
and serve no purpose except as catch
alls for dust.-N. y. Tribune.

CROPS IN ORCHARDS.
Don't Plant Any That Mature Theii
Seeds During the Growing
Season of the Trees.

What crop can we grow in q young
orchard without injury to the treesl
was asked in an exchange and was an
swered thus by \. b. Wood: If you
have plenty of other ground on whiti
to grow cultivated crops, don't grow
anything but your trees and care for
them just the same as though they
were a corn crop instead. Many are
not so situated hat they can devote
the entire land 10 trees, but must grow
something to pay for the use OF the
ground till the trees yield fruit. Then
comes the question again: What can
| grow. then. which will not be in
jurious TO growth of my trees? In
one-half of my first peach orchard |
set Strawberries the first year, and On
the other half | grew beans and sweet
| corn. fhe trees on the first half near
" died, though | cultivated and fey
tilted thoroughly, using ~unleached
ashes and rotted stable ant lib
orally; the other half grew nearly
double the size of the former in the
first two wears. besides the trees were
much healthier.
This taught me not TO grow any
crop which matured its seed during
the growing season of the trees. See
ing my mistake, though too late, | i'm
mediateiy plowed under the berry
vines and devoted the ground entirely
tuthc trees. The result was surprisiI z,
for the trees seemed to take new life
ard made more growth the next sea
son than IN both the former ones
though they have never been able to
catch up with those where the beans
and corn grew.

PRESERVING EGGS.
Has Been Practiced with Com
siderable Success.

Take a common starch box with a
sliding lid. Put the eggs in the box.
and upon an oyster shell or other suit
able substance place a teaspoonful of
sulphur. Set fire to the sulphur, and
when the fumes begin to rise briskly
shut up the lid, make the box tight,
and do not disturb it for half an hour.
Now take out the eggs, pack in oats.
and the job is done. If the oats or pack
ing material be treated TO the same
process it will be all the better. If a
barreliul. is to be preserved, place the
eggs in a tight barrel two-thirds full,
with no packing whatever. Fire a
pound of sulphur upon 4 suitable sub
stance on top of the eggs in the vacant
sDace over them, shut up tightly, let
stand an hour and then take out the
eggs. As the gas is much heavier than
air it will sink to the bottom. or rather
fill up the barrel with the fumes. In
another barrel or box place some oats,
and treat il the same way. Now pack
the eggs in the oats, head up the barrel,
and turn the barrel every day to pre-
vent falling of the yolks. using each
end alternately, and they will keep 4
year, or. according TO the efficiency of
the operation, a shorter or longer
time.
1t will be seen by the above that the
process is a dry and neat one. and very
inexpensive, sulphur being a very
cheap article. The process was sold
several years ago by certain parties as
Ozone" but is an old one. and the par
ties we're exposed. not that the process
was a fraud, but because they sold a
pound of sulphur as ozone for two dol
lars.-Poultry Keeper.
