SHIRT WAIST BOX.
Very Useful But an Ornamental
Article as Well.

With the shirt-waist season comes
the difficulty of finding place to keep
our waists without missing them.
When stiffly starched they take up a
great deal of room in the dresser, and if
hung in the closet are more likely to be
on the floor the greater part of the
time. Shirt-waist boxes are not new
departure, but as rule the ready
made ones are so expensive that the
girl in ordinary circumstances cannot
afford them.
The box shown in the accompanying
Illustration is covered with pale blue
and white creton and the entire cost
was only So cents. While the light stutfs
make very dainty effect, the darker
ones are more serviceable and will not
soil so quickly. Get large rolled

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
Rational Exercise and Peace of Mind
Are the Best Complexion Pow
der Yet Discovered.

In some cases poor complexion
arises mainly from lack of exercise.
Women who live an entirely sedentary
life have slow circulation and usually
bad digestion, and these are fertile
causes of muddy appearing skin. Ex-
ercise gives rapidity to the movement
of the blood, stimulates digestion ard
Gains the nerves, and is frequently
more beneficial than any sort of medi-
cine, although it should not be INDUCED
in Immediately after meals. Physicians
are beginning to recognize the fact that
drugs are not the most potent restora-
tives, and that exercise, peace of mind,
congenial society and recreation are not
merely luXuries, but necessities if good
health is to be preserved. Chapped and
rough lips are not only painful, but dis
figuring, and ii is advisable never to
go into the open air without previously
using little glycerin or vaseline upon
the mouth. To moisten the lips with
the tongue has drying effect upon the
skin ultimately, and the habit is one
to be vigorously avoided. Toilet soap of
inferior quality is extremely injurious
to the complexion. Only the best soap
should be employed, and that does not
necessarily mean the soap most ex-
pensively gotten up with lace and rib
bons. Pure glycerin or olive oil soap,
unscented, is very good and not special
ly costly.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

BUILT OF ONE TREE.
California, Constructed from
Il Single Giant Oak.

At Santa Clara, Cal, there is Bap-
fist church which was built of lumber
made from single giant oak tree.
Under its branches the first Baptist
service in that region was held, in 1853.
When it was decided to build church
edifice it was thought best to use the
site of the original meeting place.
With appropriate ceremonies the
great tree, whose shade covered an acre
of ground, was consecrated for its new
purpose. Workmen then cut off the
tree 20 feet from the ground. This big

Fireworks Every sunday.

In the old Brazilian town of Bahia
fireworks form part of the regular
Sunday ceremonies. The town has a
number of churches, and they fiercely
compete for patronage. First the
great deep-toned bells remind the
townspeople that Sunday is come.
Then the crash of fireworks reminds
them that their attendance at service is
earnestly desired. So every Sunday
morning and evening witnesses small

A Dukes EScane

The custom of deceiving people on
the LIST of April and then calling them
April fools was once more general than
it is now, and on one occasion it was
turned to good account. Francis, duke
of Lorraine, and his wife were impris-
oned at Nantes. On the 1st of April
they planned to make their escape.
Disguised as peasants-he with bod
on his shoulders and she with basket
of rubbish on her back-they passed
through the gates of the city. As they
did so a woman recognized them, and,
running to the guard, told the sentry
who they were. april fool," cried the
soldier, and all the guards laughed and
shouted: "April fool. mother!" The
story was told the governor as a joke.
and he laughed, too. Soon, however,
it was discovered that the woman spoke
the truth, but by that time the fugi-
tives were well on their way. The 1st
of April saved them.-London Chron-

The object of this committee Is to
draw up resolutions and present them
to congress for the provision of ex-

dustry of fax, hemp and ramie cul-
ture.
Wednesday the delegates visited the
linseed oil mills, the refineries and the
big French-Hickman Fiber Company's
plant out on the west side of Fargo.
Carriages were provided for the visi-
tors and the inspection enjoyed.
Probably the greatest interest was
shown at the fiber mills. Compare
lively few had seen such plants and
were delighted with the thorough ex-
PLANTATION given by Manager Atkinson.
The different processes by which the
flax straw is reduced through the diff
ferent stages to a fine grade of fiber
were shown.
While the commercial value of the
seed has always been known, few peo-
pie realize the immense possibilities
of the manufacture of fiber in all its
varying forms. An interest has been
aroused in this branch of the industry
that can but result beneficially to the
farmers and business men of the

of the value of the crop is being re-
allied seem to be proven.

County Must Pay.

The circuit court of appeals has at
frmed Judge Amidon of the United
States district court in the case Of the
administrators of the Erskine estate
against Steele county. Years ago.
when Steele county was organized, the
commissioners issued warrant in pay
ment for transcribing the records for
the new county. The warrant was
purchased by NJ. B. Ersl1ine, banker.
Later the payment was contested.
Suit was brought in the state district
court to compel the payment, and the
decision was against the county. On
an appeal to the state supreme court
the county won, the findings of the
court being that the records had no
validity as notice and the commits
sioners were unauthorized to make a
contract for the transcribing. In 1894
the legislature enacted a measure max
ing all transcribed records of equal va
lidity. On this, suit was brought by
the administrators of the Erskine es-
tate in the United States court. They
won, and on the county's appeal to
the circuit court of appeals the de-
cision of Judge Amidon was held to be
good law, and Steele county will have
to dig up, with interest for II years.
