HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION.
Relief for ChiIblains and Night
Sweats-Exercise for Weak
Ankles.

Where the feet have once been FROST
ed and chilblains ensue, relief can
usually be found by soaking the feet,
before retiring, in hot salt water, dry
ing thoroughly with coarse towel and
plenty of friction, then rubbing with
witch hazel. When the itching seems
almost intolerable the feet may BE Wig
orously rubbed with clothes brush
or whisk broom until the blood almost
starts through the surface, and then
bathed in witch hazel. This heroic
treatment has been often found efiica-
cious when milder measures have failed
to afford relief.
The night sweats which accompany
debility or even advanced tuberculosis
may frequently be checked by a glass
of milk containing tea taken on retir-
ing. Bathing the entire body before
retiring with tepid or cold water con-
tanning little alcohol or vinegar is
also of advantage. Light flannel night
shirts should be worn in preference to
cotton night shirts, which become so
uncomfortable when soaked with per-
spiration.
A simple exercise that, persevered in,
will do much for strengthening weak
ankles that turn SO easily in walking
is to hold the feet close together. bend
both to the right as far as possible,
hold them in that position and then
turn them to the left. Follow this by
rotating the feet, making the toes de-
scribe as large circles as possible.
A simple exercise for habitual cold
feet that will be found far better than
heavily oyerdressing the feet is to slap
the soles quickly and lightly with a
small, fiat ruler, then steady the body
and swing each leg in turn back and
forth. The warming effect of this ex-
ercise on the feet will speedily become
self-apparent.-Was Star.

KAISER LAVISH WITH TITLES.
Raising the Lower Mobility, to the
Dissatisfaction of Higher
Mobiles.

The action of Emperor William
atically aimed at the creation of a
new nobility, somewhat in the same
way, though not on the same scale,
as was done by Napoleon I. in France.
Some sensation has been caused by
the kaiser's signalling the close of
the old year Tor, as he maintains, the
old century, by creating new duke
dom and raising three counts to the
rank of prince. This hitherto I'M
precedented hberality in bestowing
the highest titles seems to give UNI
bragg to the older, and especially the
mediatized, princely families. Thus,
Prince Won Stolberg- Wernigerode has
sold his palace in Berlin. Prince Pless
is offering his for sale, the duke of
Ujest, the head of the house of Hohen-
lobe, has resigned his post of grand
chamberlain at court and withdrawn
to his Silesian property, while sew
eral of the other princes appear very
rarely at court, in which they follow
the example of many members of the
sovereign princely houses of the en-
pire
The preceding emperors were much
more chary of bestowing the highest
titles. Only two new princely titles
were created before William l., who
promoted to that rank during his
reign four mobiles, including Bis
marck; Emperor Frederick conferred
two such titles; William IL. has al
ready created seven new princes and
two dukes-one of the latter being
again Prince Bismarck, whose title of
duke of Lauenburg was, however, not
hereditary, and died with him. Last
year Count Munster got his princely
title for his services at The Hague
conference, and with the new year
Counts Dohna-Schlobitten Eulenburg
and Knyphausen were all made
princes, and Prince Hatzfeldt created
duke of Trachenberg. Il is further
pointed out as a curious anomaly that
all these new princes belong, after all
the Bismarcks included-to the So
called slower nobility" as opposed to
the members of the higher nobility
or mediatized families, the descend
ants of the old sovereign houses of the
former Holy Roman empire, among
which latter class are numerous fam
lilies, like those of Bentinck, Solms,
Stolberg ETC., which enjoy no higher
title than that of counts. Yet these
are all "ebenburtig" l. e., their mem
bers are able to intermarry with any
of the European reigning families,
from which all these newly-made
Prussian princes are excluded by laws
as of the Modes and Persians.-Tablet.

NOTES FOR THE LADIES.
Various Items of Dress Which Will
BE in Vogue In the
Spring.

Loose-fronted waists have two darts
on each side of the center as usual,
and both are boned.
Domestic cheviots in attractive
shades of gray and light brown are
as low in price as SO cents yard.
Ladies' cloth is cloth-fnished fan
mel.
Long needles used in sewing some
times tire people, especially if they
have short fingers, so change your
sizes until you are suited. For bast-
ing, the long milliners' needles are
convenient.
Small-fgured and striped linens and
Madras goods for shirt-waists are
shown in pink, light and navy blue,
pink and lavender leading.
White ostrich feathers may be
cleaned in bath of naphtha, being
careful not to do the cleaning near
either fire or artificial light. Hang
in the air and see that the naphtha
has evaporated before attempting to
curl the feathers.

rs cents a string, and colored pearls
from rs to so cents.
The new belts do not show any
startling changes. They are made of
ribbon, piece silk, kid, leather, velvet
and silk elastic. Clasps are small and
very choice in rose gold, old silver or
steel. Beaded and harness belts are
the popular extremes.
Cleaning Lace.-Clean your real lace
barb by sprinkling it thickly on both
sides with magnesia. Place it be-

the book to pressure for "a hours,
then shake the powder out.
Whalebones will sometimes turn in
the casing in spite of all we do to
prevent them. If they do, take the
bones out, put them in boiling water
for five minutes and then iron them
straight. The new method of boning,
with the featherbone sewed down the
center of each piece on the sewing
machine, is usually satisfactory.

AFTER A THIRD OF A CENTURY
Iayed for That Length of
Time.

Many a thrilling story is told in the
official reports of a congressional COM
mittee on claims. The Philips claim
is an illustration. 1t seems that on
December 81, 1866, Fort Kearney, I'M
der the shadow of the Bighorn noun
tains, and then 200 miles from the near
est telegraph line, was besieged by
Sioux Indians, under Red Cloud, who
greatly outnumbered the garrison.
A detachment of rs soldiers, who had
gone out to relieve woodtrain few
days before, had been massacred with
in four miles of the fort, and the In
dams, stimulated by this victory, were
pressing hard to complete their deadly
work.
AT this juncture John Phillips, a
scout and trader, volunteered to take
message to Fort Laramie, 225 miles
away. 1t was the only hope OF relief.
With the scantiest supply of food for
himself and horse, he left the post at
midnight and rode across country
unihabited by white men, and most
of the way covered with snow. He had
to travel by night and hide by day.
The temperature was 20 degrees be-
low zero much of the time.
Immediately upon the receipt of his
message, troops were forwarded from
Fort Laramie. and the garrison at
Fort Kearney was soon relieved. For
this remarkable feat, from the effects
of which Phillips never fully recovered,
the government did not directly re-
ward him, and now, in behalf of his
widow and child, said to be in strait
ened circumstances, bill has been in

A handsome doorway seen not long

already been stated in this column, be-
coming popular with the best decorat-

get satisfactory color effects.-N. Y.
