 The healthfulness of bicycle riding for women is still disputed question be- tween eminent physicians and health re- formers.
 Used in moderation it surely creates for women a means of outdoor exercise, the benefit of which all physicians concede. Used to excess, like any other pastime, It's effect is likely to be dangerous.

 high pulse and steadily vast ing condition that she was suffering from anaemia, or bloodless condition of the body. She became extremely weak, and could not stand the least noise or excite ment. In this condition of affairs they were recommended by an old friend to get some of that famous blood medicine, Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. They did so, and almost from the first dose Bertha began to improve. She con tinued to take the pills and was by means of those pills made entirely well, and more grateful people than her parents cannot be found in the whole State of Ohio.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have proved boon to womanlxind.

was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies

say that your Sanative Wash has cured

Streaky Butter.

Among the various causes of streaky
butter that of tenperature-too. cold
a temperature somewhere in the pro-
cess of making-is not sufficiently con-
sidered, says a writer in Agricultural
Gazette, Tasmania. Sometimes, and es-
pecially at this season of the year, the
water with which the butter is WASHED
is of temperature very many degrees
lower than that of the butter. Now,
the use of very cold water chills and
hardens the surface of the butter gran
ules. while the interior remains COM
paratively soft: when salted the salt
will not mix evenly. and the color Of
the different parts Of the granules will
vary. II worked In this condition the
chilled granules will not combine read
lily, and the result will be streaky,
mottled butter. Even If the butter il
left in the water length of time
sufficient for the granules to be of the
same temperature throughout the but
ter of the granules will, II the latter
are very firm and hard. cohere more
than 1t will adhere. That is, the gran
ules do not stick to each other with
the same force that the butter particles
Of the granules stick together. The
working fiattens out the granules, bnt
does not make of them one homoge-
nous mass, and as the Outsides of
these granules are salter than the in
side, and therefore deeper in color. the
butter will, when cut through. look
marbled, mottIed, or streaky, accord
ing to the degree of working.

Another thing that will be Of interest
to note will Be the relative heat COM

Il II not necessary that the eggs be
kept at q 103 or 102 all Of the time. The
eggs may even be taken out each
morning and allowed to cool down to

believe there IL less danger Of the eggs
being injured BY too little heat than
by too much. We have seen hens leave
their nests in the early spring and
stay away till It seemed that the eggs
must all be chilled. and yet the same

A recent publication. issued by the
Galloway breeders. says: The hides CT

time in the fall. and properly tanned.
make excellent robes. quite equal to
the buffalo robes Of the old days. This
is becoming an important trade and a
profitable one. Accustomed as the
Galloway has been for generations to
an outdoor life in q humid climate. he
has now an excellent coat of warm eur
with long wavy outside covering. and
q short thick messy hair below, max
ing a beautiful robe. For the north
and northwest o. our continent, where
winter furs are so much needed, the
Galloway offers an excellent winter
covering. They make good. serviceable
coats and jackets, worn by both men
and wOmen-fur capes. robes for the
cutter, and rugs for the dwelling. Sell
dom a pure black. they are often a
warm rich dark brown or a brown
black-or vary in shade between the
two. For this purpose brindled ones
would be valuable, though now rather
uncommon. The writer lately saw a
fine brindled robe sold In Quebec for
eighty dollars. The brown stripes
across It were as clear as those Of a
tiger skin. At one time brindled ami
mails were quite common, but since the
fashion has set in for black, other col
ors have become rare. Other col0:s
may be Just as pure as the prevailing
black. The Galloway black is not 6
pure black. The calves when first
dropped are usually q dark mahogany
brown. The undercoat of fine hair Of
ten keeps this tinge which is clearly
seen when the coat is being shed. A
very deep black is more frequently
found among half-breeds. The rich
brown tinge Is a good sign Of purity Of
blood. Many families have more or
less white on the ucder. and few
white patches on the underline as well.
Others have q few white hairs scattered
through the hide. often no. noticed.
but the trait may run In family for
generations. Belted cows are still met
with, but are not now as common as
they were in the early years of this
century. Then there were whole herds
Of this belted race, which had good
reputation as mixers. One herd had
marks-white face and white stripes
on the back like Hereford colors. Dun
or light drabs are still met with, and
reds are not unknown. but these are
becoming more and more rare. on
color is no proof of want of purity Of
blood.

NS MoincS. Iowa, Aug. 25, 1898
Tbe,e were 42,120 applications for
pat erts filed in the u. S. Patent Office
ring the year ending June 30. '98.
a'ri 22.131 patents granted during the
same time. This indicates that nearly
tRlf of the applications fled have been
rejected. Possibly many Of the sub
5ects of the applications were not pat
entable inventions. But it is more
probable that many of the applications
were not properly prepared and pros
ecuted. Many that were finally reject
ed by the Primary Examiners
would possibly have been allowed upon
appeal to the Board-Of-Examiners-in
chief. But to file an appeal a $40
fee must be paid to the Commis-
siOner to corrct the error of the Pri-
mary Examiner il he committed an
error. Costs do not follow suit in the
series Of tribunals through which an
} application for patent may be fully
adjudiated and therefore many appli-
cations for patents for EeritOrious in
ventions are abandoned. All of these
causes undoubtedly contribute to pro-
duce the large disparity between the
number of applications for patents and
the number Of patents granted in a
given time.

ing, prosecuting and selling patents

ARTISTIC HOMES,

H0W . Great Aan1facturer Has Brought
Them Within Reach Of All
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has SO much attention been
Paid to the interior decoration of
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, Is without its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings more cheerful. The taste OF the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new In the way of a
picture. q draping. q piece Of furniture
or other form OF mural decoration.
One of the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist. Muville. in . series Of four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
some in this line been seen. The SUBJ
jects represented by these plaques are
American Wild Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dinins-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to a place in the parlor Of any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at a cost Of $4,000 by ]. C.
Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of
the celebrated Elastic Starch. and in
order to enable their numerous Gus
toners to become p0ssessors of these
handsome works of art they have had
them reproduced by q special process
in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard. pressed and en-
bossed In the shape Of q plaque and
trimmed with a heavy band Of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October 1 Messrs. J. C. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
the-e plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages of Elastic Starch, flat-iron
brand. manufactured by J. C. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t
is the Oldest and best laundry starch
on the market. and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. It
is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that will
not injure the finest fabric. It has been
the standard for a quarter of a CEN
tury, and as an evidence of how good
it is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no SUBJ
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good short time only, and
should be taken advantage of without
delay.

JHAveI WEST MS YEAH.
The Tourist Socks tho Mountains Rather
Than the Seashors and Lake.
The periods Of Western migration of
people vary with the years. Some
times the attractions Of the East over
come the distaste to long travel. and
the flood Of excursiOnists is in that d.
rection. but, latterly. the beauties and
benefits Of Colorado scenery and air
have tipped the scales Of doubling
minds In favor of the great central
summer resort of the continent. The
present summer has been a Western
resort epoch. largely because the rail-
roads have established and maintained
unsurpassed facilities for comfortable
travel. and the desirability of the To-
cation has become widely known
through judicious advertising.
The great game preserves and the
rivers stocked with finest specimens Of
the iinny tribe, the vigorous mountain
air. the gathering of pleasant people
at first class hotels. and the proximity
to home and business II required. have
proved stronger attractions than the
sea coast and the Northern lake re-
gionS. The vast mineral resources of
Colorado have tempted the watchful
business man to combine something of
business with his outing. too. and as a
consequence of all these reasons travel
to the West has been unsurpassed this
year and the state has found new
friends and gained new tongues to tell
its praise.
It is a matter Of such great import
ance that comfort shall be a striking
feature Of travel that the tourist as
well as the daily traveller in pursuit of
business should select his route with
care and Judgment. The Missouri Pa
cifc, with its many branches affords
opportunity for all the people to use its
magnificent trains as far as Pueblo.
and there the Denver & Rio Grande
road, with its Justly bestowed celebr!-
ty for piercing the most beautiful seem
ery of the mountain wilds. continues the
care and watchfulness which has been
50 readily observed on the route to
Pueblo, and with every comfort at hand
and inspiring scenery round about. tho
traveller finds himself at his dest;na-
tion unwearied. satisfied and ready for
what Fate has in store foT the future.
It is a mental treat and rest as we'll
as a physical relief from heat and la
Dor. and should be provided for in the
yearly itinerary as much as the pro-
vision for the habilaments which Gus
tom prescribes. F. p. Baker
