MONEY AND INTEREST,

The Rock Island is preparing to re- fund it's debt and will issue a new loan at per cent, taking up several classes of bonds bearing interest at 5 and per cent. Ffty-three millions of the issue have already been taken at par. The rest of the 100 millions may be issued in the near future The annual saving will be $500,OOO.
 Money is abundant, interest rates the east are low. We have just emerged from severe panic. People are making money and hoards are coming out of hiding. They are, however, cautious and conservative. Insecure enterprises offering high profits are not encour- aged. Lessons have been learned in the long depression.
 That such great sums of money can be procured at such low rates of in terest is a sign of financial soundness at this time. Afterwards when the volume of business is running at full current the demand for money will rise and rates will probably advance.

POINTS FOR GIRLS.

Individual butter-plates continue in fashion; the reason for their existence is good one, for who would care to put butter on hot plate? Our English cousins eagerly buy them when they are in this country, counting them as a wise invention.
 The Four Marys were maids of honor to Mary, Queen of Scots; they were Mary Beaton, Mary Seaton, Mary Liv- ingston and Mary Fleming. Mary Car michael's name, though mentioned in the ballad, was not one of the original four; it is said that she replaced Mary Fleming.
 The giving of presents to girl at the time of her graduation, at her be- trothal and at her marriage-indeed, at every important event in her life, is getting to be an absolute tax on all relatives and friends. However, it is not at all necessary for one to buy, for mere forms sake, gifts that one cannot afford.
 A good. talker is born, not made. By reading good books, by keeping ones self well informed as to the interesting events of the day. one may become d good conversationalist. Still, the most fascinating takers are by no means those who know the most, but, instead those who have the greatest amount of tact, are most sympathetic, versatile and, most important of all, have that wonderful something that, lacking a better name, we call magnetism.-La- dies Home Journal.

THE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

Some really original salt cellars are shell-shape and relief from the usual pattern.
 A pretty idea long familiar to the French is the luxuriously embroidered chamber towel, with long grille fringes of silk and cotton. Table centers are made of colored i or shot silk, with inser tions of gold-run guipure, and butterflies and flowers are appliqued on the silk. Some arc entire ly of lace, with Louis Seize medallions
 in silk.
 On old oak or Chippendale tables teacloths of finest Breton lace, with in sertion of Cluny, look the best. Some have open work ecclesiastical designs and come from Austria, France and ire land.
 Silken sofa pillows in French tapes try, with a pineapple pattern wrough:
 in gold, are popular. So are pillows of hand embroidered satiIs on grounds Of dull blue and terra-cotta or conven-
 tional peoples on green, with fouEccs
 of art silk.

DON'T DO THESE.

Don't steal anotiier mans good name, even if your own is worn out.
 Don't raise your hand against your hushand-broomhandies are plenty.
 Don't pattern after the busy little bee. It's the other fellow that eats the baney.
 Don't monopolize one color in your make up. A ruby nose spells the eff feet of ruby lips.
 Don't bet with your wife, unless you gre prepared to lose, whether you win 9r not.
 Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Sell him for what you can get and let the other fellow look.
 Don't judge a man by the clothes he wears. Form your opinion from the wearing apparel of his wife.
 Don't be clam, If you must be any thing of that kind, be a turtle. Then you will have a little snap about you.
 Don't take bull by the horns: Take him by the tail and then you can let go without getting some one to help you.

A SMOKING LAMP.

There is no economy in using cheap oil. It does not give so good light and is very dangerous.
 In selecting a lamp it is well to choose one with a shallow reservoir, for if the oil is at too great distance from the burner it tends to make the flame drop lower as the oil diminishes. Reservoirs of metal and stout glass are advised.
 Wicks are important. They must fit in the full width of the wick case and be cut off so they will not lie along the bottom of the lamp, as long immersion in oil hardens them. If lamp smells or smokes without cause it is a sure sign the wick wants changing.
 Those who have their surroundings spick and span and are afraid of lamps smoking the walls and ceilings should have tops to the chimneys. In putting out light do not blow down the chim- ney; turn the light down and blow across the top of the chimney.
 Cleaning chimneys is a vexed ques- ton. If they are washed and imper- fectly dried they are apt to break when the wick is lighted. New chimneys, if put in cold water and gradually boiled, are not so apt to break afterward. Burners must be kept absolutely clean and fresh and. at intervals should be boiled in soda and water.
 A point overlooked by people who complain of lamps smoking and giv- ing forth bad odors is that on no ac- count must lamp be filed and lighted after it has been laid aside unused for some time until the old Gil is all emp tied out. The interior should be well scalded and a new dry wick put in. In fact, if lamp is in constant use il should be rule that the reservoir is to be emptied and scalded once a month.
