FRAGRANT SALTS.
4 Delicate and Refreshing Prepare
tion That In Easily
Made.

Women of to-day are not as liable to
faint as their grandmothers were. be-
cause they dress more sensibly and do
not wear as tight dresses or as tight
shoes and gloves, but 1t Is wise and
sensible precaution to keep fragrant
salts on hand, says the New York Trib-
une. Any salt loses its strength in
short time. The simple lavender salta
are the most desirable Of all perfumeG
salts. These are easily prepared 1t
home. While you are preparing por-
ton Of these salts it is as easy to make
several bottles or vinaigrettes as one
and the cost is small. Procure half
dozen small, clear glass bottles, with
close-cut glass shoppers II you wish.
A pretty stopper costs very little, pur-
chased with. the bottles By the half
dozen, and adds considerable to the
value Of the vinaigrette as gift. It IL
desirable that a vinaigrette be small,
so it may be easily carried in the pocket.
Vinaigrettes are often very elaborate,
decorated with silver, gold and even
precious stones, but a tiny bottle OF
clear glass with a pretty stopper Is al
ways in good taste and as useful az
more ornate one. To prepare the salt.
procure from trustworthy druggist
half pound Of carbonate Of ammoaia
and an ounce and half Of the best oil
Of lavender. Crush the two together
in q mortar, or in any dish that viii
mix them. Set the mixture in large
bowl, which should be put in pan OF
warm water, covered and set in mod
crate oven for about an hour. Stir the
mixture several times while it is heat
ing. It is not necessary for the ammo
MIA to be crushed fine. Ifit is in broken
Jumps it lasts longer. Do not get in
the foolish habit Of using vinaigrette
continually. Cases Of obstinate deaf
ness have been ascribed to this cause.
The salts are also said to have an inju-
rious effect on the vocal chords as well
as on the auditory nerves when used
continually. Even the odor Of flowers,
notably the odor Of violets, has been
known to cause singer temporarily
to lose her voice.

THE TRUTH OUT.
England R joiciag Over McKin-
isy's EIectien
CONFESSION FROM cHOATE
Vino congratuiates the English
Premier that He Did Not
Nike His Spsech Be-
fore the Election.

The Lord Mayor show in London FRI
day was witnessed by large crowds. 1t
consisted Of the usual gilt and ermine
features. The procession moved on
through sdmiring throngs to the law
courts, where the ancient ceremony of
taking the oath was carried out. The
new and old Lord Mayors were heartily
cheered. There were no em5lemstlc
cars, but there were mounted men clad
in British uniforms in use from 1900 to
1870 A model Of the gun Of the Brit
ish cruiser Powerful used at the siege
of Lsdysmith was much cheered, as
we've also mounted men representing
India, Canada, Australia and South
Africa
What is probably the most brilliant
of all functions in England-the Lord
Mayors b-nquet-took place Friday
evening 1t will be memorable even to
Anericaus by reason of the following
remarkable utterance Of Lord Sails
bury. who, in the presence Of 900 guests,
including United States Ambassador
Choate, the Members of the British
cabinet aud many of the leading men
of E9glaod, spoke as follows of tic
American election:
I'VE believe that cause which has
won is the cause of civilization and
commercial honor. We believe those
principles ,r be at the root Of all pros
peri:y aud al progress in the world.
Therefore, We claim that We have as
much right TO rejoice in what has taken
place as the distinguished gentleman
(ceferri0g to Mr.. Cnoate) who sits at
my side.
This was followed by loud and pro-
lopgcd cheering which made the gold
plate on the oakeo shelves shiver ana
the great ra:..egs Of the guild hall 1ioe
ard ring again.
Lords Salishury's incursion into the
international politics of the United
States was then preceded by an apology,
in the course OF which BE- said:
One OF the circumstances which has
sratifed me most during the last year
is the very hearty, friendly feeling dis
played between this country aad the
United States. hope Mr.. Choate will
forgive me if there is any irregularity
ia uy expression. 1t is quite wong 70,
a s,c;e:ary of state to make obseTTa-
tiuDs With respect to the internal poi
ties Of another country; but | am soon
to give up my Office, aad in view of this
abandonment, which is close at haad,
I hope NJ. Cbos,e will forgive me for
expressing The supreme Satisfaction
with which all Of US have heard ot
wis. has recently taken place IN The
United Statcs.
Nj. Choate, replying a foE minutes
later TO the toast Of the diplomatic
corps, declared that Lord Salisbury had
stated with such truth, simplicity and
earnestreas the result of the election
that he (M.. ChoatC would rot at.
tenpt to add to ii, although he would
venture to C congratulate the Dobla lord
upol :he fact that his remarks had
been made after instead Of before cleo
ton. (Laughter.)

WITCH KILLING IN 1902
Stories Told After the Mysterious Eur.
der Of fOld Woman

A few days ago, on Big O.te: Crsek,
ia West Virginia, Mrs. BoggS. over 70
years old, was mysteriously murdered.
She lived by herself, aad was sitting
at window when shotgun charged
entered her body, killing her instantly.
The mystery surrounding the murder,
it is claimed, has been partially cleared
away by the arrest of man raued Cot
ri aho is roS in the county jail on
suspicion Of havirg be5l implicated in
tle murder. It brings to light genuine
case Of witchcrsft superstition. Cottrill
is under the impression that he has suf
fered from supernatural powers e2er-
cised by Mrs. Boggs. He claims that
at times during the last three months
he has been rlddsn by her all over Clay
and Calhoun counties, in witch fash
ion. On one occasion the old lady's
house appeared 10 him to be black
smith shop, and he was shoeing his
horse there at night, when the witch
appeared aud told him that that would
be the last night be would ever shoe
the horse. Within cay or two the
horse died Il is ssid that o:her neigh
bors Of the old lady we're Affected with
the same haIlucination, and that threats
we're previously made to kill ser. Cot
trili refused to talk about the murder,
out talks freely en- the wrongs he thinks
he suffered at the hands of the aged
wouan. Many case of sickness in the
neighborhood were attribute to her
supernatural influence, and on several
occasions it is claimed lynching was
threatened, but no one could be found
with sufficient courage to lead those
who fancled they had o-ea wronged.

do you think Of sending out for chops
three times, hot cakes twice, and cof-
fee, why, he must have swallowed HVe
cups at least. Then the potatoes he
ate were enough for three ordinary
men. I never dreamed there could
be so much food put inside Of such
small man. OF course, it made me-
nervous all the time he was eating.
Why didn't tell him he mustn't eat
50 much? Why,.1 don't want to lose

goodness knows he carries of the

had remained unnoticed by them. u

anyway. The money I paid you in

overcharge, Will pay you well for the
trouble and expense I've put you to.
Good-norning; get off here"
It was fully five minutes after the
train pulled away from the station
before the woman spoke, and all she
said was:
"Well, who'd a-thought it?"
