the allowance idea an excellent one.
Fifty cents week given to il young girl,
out Of which to provide certain small
necessities and be equal to emergencies
brought about by her own carelessness
and want of forethousht, is system
which has proven it's efficacy. If girl
need car fare every day for school. a dol
lar week seems reasonable and ont Of
this she will frequently save money. The
weight of opinion is, undoubtedly, in ia
vor of allowances. The tendency of the
day is to belittle the habit of promis-
cuously giving small sums of money
nickels. dimes and quarters. A child with
an allowance soon discovers that even
pennies count. and if no other lesson is
taught, something has been gained.

he knew mathematics. With due flial
obedience young Gladstone promptly be-

The PODularitv or Violet

There is practically but one perfume"
said fashionable chemist the other day.
1--WE sell more violet fifty times over,
than all the other perfumes together"
Every imaginable toilet preparation is
now perfuned with violet. Not only the
sachet powder. the toilet water, and the
soap, but tooth powder, nail salye and
cold creams, for massasing the face, all
are favored with the omnipresent violet.
1t may be surprise to many persons to
know that most violet perfumes are ar
tifcial. That is, they are formed by COM
pounding chemically certain elements.
Violet perfume may be extracted from
the flowers themselves but 100 pounds
of violets produce only one ounce of the
finest extract. The beautiful Valley of
Grasse, in the Alpes Maritimes, has hith-
erto yielded the worlds supply of violets.
In Paris, violet, as a color, is the success
ful rival of green, and both hats and
bodices are exactly the color of the blue
spring hyacinths. The latest novelty in
the capital is a soft, thick, violet-colored
flannel, which exhales the most delicious
perfume. This flannel costs the neat lit
tie sum of 40 francs yard. Not less
than quarter of yard will be cut into
small strips and sewed into Innings of
sleeves, waists and skirts. and into the
crown of hats and of bonnets. The odor
from it is, perhaps, the most exquisitely
delicate to be obtained.

TAlNS ABOUT TWO THOUS-
AND GUESTS.

Yesterday morning, bright and early,
every available conveyance was put into
use. All who could get rigs went to
Mlnocqua to take in the NJ. W. picnic,
at that place. Some two thousand
Woodmeu, from different towns in this
district were present and accompanied
by their wives and friends made up a
gathering which would be hard to equal
on some more ostentatious occasion.
We are pleased to note that Eagle River
gave a full quota of representatives, and
to say that they enjoyed themselves is
drawing It mild. To much cannot be
said as to the courteous treatment given
to each and every visiting Neighbor and
their friends which goes to show that
the people OF Minocqua have lost none OF
their prestige as hospitable people.
