New Hair Brooches.

A new fashion, which has the un-
usual advantage of combining high
degree of usefulness with beauty,
probably will popularize the wearing
of brooch in the hair. The hair
brooch is usually worn on the back of
the head, either slightly to the right
OF left of the middle. 1t is used to
hold together the stray hairs, which
without it are apt to straggle below a
woman's coiffure. While this is rea-
son for the existence of the hair
brooch, its use is not confined to the
purpose of its creation, but it is free
ly worn as an ornament.
The brooch for use in this way, in
stead of being provided with an or
dinary pin, has a catch of the shape of
the outline of the brooch, so arranged
that it will firmly hold the hair in
position, and itself will remain in its
proper place.
The designs of hair brooches are
numerous. Wreaths seem to be the
most popular shape; maple leaves
enameled in their natural colors and
alternating with pearls or other pre-
cious stones are popular. A single
leaf enameled is also pretty. Some ar
tistic designs in tortoise shell are also
shown.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that they offer One Hun

An Artistic Occupation.

A. young woman in North Carolina
has entered novel field of industry,
and is making it pay. Miss Jane L.
Buchan is the name of this pioneer
grape packer, and she has been in the
business for several years.
AS the grape season lasts only a
few weeks, in order to make it pay
she contracts with different vineyards,
and has corps of experienced girl
workers, trained by herself. The
careful selecting of the fruit and the
trimming and lining of baskets with
paper lace are particularly adapted to
the deft fingers of woman, and one
has record of 113 baskets packed in
six hours.
The picking is done only when the
grapes are thoroughly dried from
previous showers, as the slightest
moisture causes them to mildew on
the trip north. Miss Buchan superin.
tends the picking, as we'll as the pack
ing and shipping. Every imperfect
grape is picked from the bunch, and
if more than two or three must be
removed the entire cluster is dis
carded. These the packers are allowed
to take home with them.
The girls enjoy the work, and re-
gard the season as a picnic. Miss
Buchan packs peaches and other fruits
with equal success.

Hints in Case of Fire.

1t is we'll to remember that water
poured on burning oil is only fuel to
the flame; cater -four over the oil
and the blaze will be speedily extin-
guished.
Salt thrown upon a fire-for in
stance, if the chimney is burning
will help 10 deaden the blaze. If
chimney hues were lined with vitri-
fed drain pipes, which are quite mex
pensive, the chimneys would be abso-
lutely fireproof. An outward cover
ing of some fireproof, rustproof, non
conducting jacket on the hot-air pipes
would not only be very good pre-
cautionary measure, but would save
heat now radiated from the tin.
A silk handkerchief dipped in water
is the best thing to wrap about the
mouth and nostrils to prevent suffoca-
tion from smoke; failing this, piece
of wet flannel or cloth will answer the
purpose.
Should the smoke fill the room be-
fore you can get to the window wrap
blanket or wooden garment about
you. with the wet cloth over the face,
drop on the hands and knees and
crawl to the window. Smoke goes
first to the top of the room and to the
floor last, so that some time is thus
secured.
1t is well to remember that there is
no more danger in getting out of
high window than out of one on a first
floor, if there is nerve and cool de-
termination to hold on to the rope or
ladder. Don't try to slide down, but
go hand over hand, keeping the body
near the wall, and break the slide by
scraping the feet along the wall.
In removing burned clothing from
a person cut everything loose; there
must be no dragging or pulling. Do
not try to save any of the clothing,
but if any part sticks to the body let
it remain and beScareful not to break
any blisters. Chicago r ecord.

The Use of Cooking Butter.

Every housekeeper knows that the
term cooking butter" means a grade
of butter that is not quite fresh enough
for table use, and is therefore only fit
to be used in cooking. The trouble is
that in some houses butter never
seems.to become too stale to be utilized
in the preparation of various dishes,
and it is employed in the interest of
economy even after it has acquired
rancid flavor. When table butter has
lost its fresh fragrance of flavor and
odor, it is still in perfectly proper con-
dition to use as an ingredient in sea-
soning; but when it begins to be strong
in taste or odor, even in slight de-
gree, it is ruinous as seasoning and
impairing as an ingredient. 1t is
nothing short of sinful that so many
good dishes should be spoiled by an
unintelligent economy which, sup
posedly representing a saving of five
or ten dollars year, in reality is the
most wasteful practice common to
kitchen. For butter that has grown
strong the soap-fat jar is the only
proper destiny.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

Keep marble in the kettle to take

A very little milk in tepid water is
excellent for wiping off painted doors
and oilcloths.
To prevent kerosene lamps from
smelling, as they sometimes will do,
even when perfectly clean, put table,
spoonful of salt into the oil.
Rings set with valuable stones
should be taken off when washing the
hands. The constant use of soap dis.
colors the gems and loosens the set
tings.
The trying yellow spots so often
left by sewing machine oil on white
goods may be removed by rubbing the
stain with a cloth wet with ammonia
before washing with soap.
In order to clean bronze the article
should be immersed in boiling water,
then rubbed with piece of flannel
dipped in yellow soapsuds, and dried
with soft cloth and chamois leather.
If you want to put away fire irons,
or TO Keep the CRATES or stoves IN
shut-up house from possible rust,
make a stiff paste of unslaked lime
and water and apply thickly with a
brush.
The nasturtium sandwiches, which
are delicious served with salads, art
made of the petals of the flowers or
the young leaves placed between slices
of thinly buttered bread, the plate
being decorated with the blossoms.
Alabaster is usually cleaned with o
little warm soap and water, and a
brush, or with warm water, to which o
few grains of carbonate of soda have
been added. In either case it is
necessary to rinse the alabaster in
clean water.
A much better polish on lamp
chimneys may be obtained by not
using water. Rub the chimney first
with soft tissue paper until the SCOT is
thoroughly removed, then sprinkle in
a little salt, and rub with dry fan
mel. Glass treated in this way is
beautifully brilliant.

A writer in London Telegraph tells
the following story about the king of
Spain as throwing light on that royal
lads life: Zone day, during his history
lesson, the king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain came to lose Chile,
Mexico and other Spanish-American
colonies. The story was narrated so
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spellbound and con-
tinued after it had ended to sit abb
sorbed in meditation. At last thought
having struck him, he looked up to his
professor and inquired: What must ]
do in order to get back these countries
for Spain?' The first and most i'm
portant thing of ALL replied the eau
tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is
that your majesty should should
grow up to be a man. When you are

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
The Appealing Trufie.

Mushrooms and truffles bear about
the same relation to each other as milk
and cream. In this country at least
truffies are never common, though in
some States there is fixed supply. A
truffie is as rich, sweet and altogether
fascinating in flavor as a perfect wal
nut. 1t grows entirely under ground,
is in shape akin to various varieties of
mushrooms, and in appearance som e.
times suggests tripe-the tissue forms
reduced in size. AS milk has more
uses than cream, SO mushrooms may
be more freely INDUCED in than truf-
fes, because of their relative richness I;
but dish Of truffles is something to
be remembered if properly prepared.

ARMY HORSES HARD TO GET.
Purchasing Department Finds Dimculty
in Meeting the Requirements.

in Meeting the Requirements.
The entire northwest is being ram
sacked by agents of the war depart
ment in quest of horses suitable for
the cavalry and artillery of the army.
The horses procured are for the most
part brought to Chicago, where they
are inspected, and then distributed
wherever there is need of them. Among
the requirements are the color of the
animal, it's weight and its height. The
owner must stand the expense of hav-
ing the two front shoes removed, fur
nish a halter and have the animal
weighed. ''It would require the ami
mails to be nodded" said horse trader
at the stockyards. "As yet there are
few horses that we have received that
come up to the requirements Of the or
der, and an owner having horse that
would answer the style that is wanted
by the army demands a larger price
than the government offers to pay"
The local horsemen state that the gov
ernment will have to make some allow
ance on the order or it will not get the
requisite number from this territory.
Horses are being secured that will
come up to the requirements in many
respects, but it is feared that they will
be turned down by the government
buyer the same as they were last year.
