For stout Women.

1t has often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
should invariably renounce all of these
round waisted styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slenderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply a matter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
"round" styles, festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.--N. Y. Post.

51How to Make Ice Cream.

Where cream alone is used in making
ice cream one-half or one-third of the
quantity should be scalded, the
sugar dissolved in the scalded portion,
and when cool added to the remaining
quantity of cream. When cream is not
obtainabfe, milk may be used enriched
by the yolks of eggs, allowing four to
each quart of milk. Scald the milk in
double boiler; beat the eggs and sugar
together; add to the hot milk, cook for
'a'moment, Then strain into the ice cream
mold1and freeze.-Ladies' Home Jour

Dogs and horses generally get on well
together, but the following story from
Manchehter proves that in some cases
the friendship is something more than
a mere liberation of ench other. A car-
riage horse, accompanied by his stable
companion, retriever dog, to which
he was exceedingly attached, was drink
ing at trough near the exchange.
While the dog was waiting for bis
friend to finish his draught large
mastiff picked quarrel with him
which ended in fight. The mastiM, aa
may be supposed, had the better ofsthe
battle, and the retriever was severely
bitten. The horse, the moment he heard
his friends cry, broke from the man
who was holding him, hurried to the
rescue, and, after kicking the mastiH
across the street, returned to the
trough and finished his drink.

An to find out what's his name;

That they think it's me to blame.
They don't say so when they're tallSin',

That we're apt to take fer him."

When rising in the air, all the lift

obtained by throwing the greatest

IT is believed that, by means of the
aerodrome, greater attitudes may be
reached than have ever before been at

the amount of gas in the balloon the
machine can be brought to the ground

NATIVES DRIVEN QUITO A CITY.
San Fernando Cleared of All Persons
Except Property Owners.

Word has been received by the War

not own property. Several hundred ma.
tives were affected by this order. Great
excitement accompanied it's carrying out.
The guards formed a line extending
across the village and under rigid sur

march out. The natives were allowed to
take what they could carry. With un-

Most of those expelled were Macabe-
bes. They have always been thought
friendly to the Americans. Gen. Mac
Arthur finally came to the conclusion,
however, that expulsion was necessary,
owing to their insincerity. They were

IN HONOR OF DEWEY.
A Magnificent Arch to BE Built in
New York.


New York.
When Dewey reaches New York in
October he will find among the many
decorations in his honor a triumphal arch
and colonnade at Fifth avenue and
Twenty fourth street 1t will require the
work of twenty or thirty sculptors for
several weeks to complete the work and
enough have volunteered to make certain
the erection of the arch. They will work
gratis. Were they to charge at the pro-
fessional rate, the arch would cost 500,
900; as it is only the material will have
to be paid fOr-which means $4,000.
The material will be staff" like the
peristyle at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
The arch is to be ON the general lines

feet four piers instead Of twG the long
piers being pierced through the sides. AT
