keeper.

The housewife whose family dotes q
buns. spice cakes, plum puddings and
the like will regret to know that the
price Of dried currants has gone up.
and may go still higher. This is due.
say the dealers, to the fact that the
mildew which has attacked the vines
in Greece-where the only good cur
rants are grown-has diminished the
average yield Of 10000 tons to 10000
tons.
A pointer for the economical buyer
is that currants If stored in clean, dry
jars will keep for three years, and viii
be as fresh then as they were ON the
day when they were bought. Few peo-
pie, however, store currants. They
buy them in the autumn when they are
usually at their highest price. says the
Washington Star.

FR1LIs OF FASHION.
Various Bits Of Feninine FiAePy
That Are Now In Fa.
voR.

Veloutine makes very stylish stree
gowns trimmed with fur, and in tn
pale colors dotted with black it il
very much used for waists.
| Brown cloth gowns trimmed will
heavy black silk braid are considered
very smart.
| Hosiery to match the dress is thu
latest fad, and as if this were not
enough it must be inset with little
motifs of lace like the trimming or
the costume, says the New York Sun
White gardenias are very popular
for hat trimming, perhaps more SC
than the roses, yet nothing in the
way of artificial flowers can be much
more beautiful than the rose produc.
tions Of this season. Roses of gold
gauze are also very much used and
| with good effect on the cream lace
hats SO much worn.
4 novel bolero is made of mink,
with collar and revers of old lace. It
is short enough to show wide
draped belt of black lace over white
chiffon fastened with long scarf ends
of lace and plated chiffon fringed
with fur tails.
Hats are certainly very artistic
this season, and really wonderful in
variety. The combinations of fur and
lace are charming, and all fur toques,
with one large gold gauze rose for a
finish, are simply fascinating. A
mink crown and q creamy point
d'esprit brim with a narrow line Of
fur in its folds form one very pretty
toque. The effect of lightness in hats
seems to be more seriously consid-
cred than it has been for some time,
and the result is a decided improve
ment in the poise of the hats on the
head, and adds to their becoming fea-
lures. Picture hats are made of fur
with rosettes of brown tulle, where
the brim turns up at the side, and
frightened by an enameled buckle
in blue or green.
Cloth with knit finish is very
much used in the neutral colors, for
street gowns. It has a soft velvety
surface and all the clinging qualities
which fashion requires.
Silk petticoats are being supplant-
ed to great extent by the wash
skirts of dainty white lawn trimmed
deliberately with lace and embroidery.
Medallions Of velvet, embroidered
in gold and variously distributed on
a costume, are one of the favored
modes Of decoration. Medallions Of
plated mousseline and fine lace are
also much employed and sometimes
framed in irregular lines, which add
very much to the effect.
Old-fashioned collarettes of Honi-
ton and Duchesse lace are revived
again, and the woman who has one
or more Of these slowed away in her
treasure box IL to be congratulated.

CORRECT LIVING.
ny Dressiag the BoIy with Too Much
Clothing Dangers to Health
Are Increasea.

In . paper upon apoplexy. read some
time since by DR.. Elmer Lee before the
American medical association at Phil
adelphia, the prevalent over clothing of
the body is thus treated: Careful ex-
periments with different materials and
weights used as clothing for the human
body have established that the modern
dress of heavy flannel beneath the
woolens outside, with additional acces-
sories to dress, even in cold weather.
is in excess of the requirements. Then
how much more unnatural is it to wear
more than is needed in warm climates,
and such as that which includes New
York and Philadelphia? By dressing
the body with too much clothing, dan
gers to health are increased and recov-
cry from chronic diseases retarded.
As plant would soon die without its
trunk and branches freely exposed to
air and light, so the human body dies
gradually, though one of the causes is
often overlooked or attributed to other
explanations. The best lightweight
underwear procurable in either silk,
cotton or linen mesh for the youth and
the adult, in health or sickness, is in
dicated both in winter and summer.
Flannels are no longer recommended
for scientific reasons. Then with cor
rect food supply and the use of pure wa
ter for the drink, freely taken all
through life. together with the right
use of covering for the body, which will
admit Of enough ventilation (seldom
found among my patients and the sick
generality, with sound medical coun-
sci, places it within reach of the aver
age individual to avoid premature ia
tality. Open air exercise is indispensa-
BILE to the preservation of health and to
the prevention Of apoplexy.

HOSPITAL AT GILT EDGE.
A First-cIass Institution Supported
by the Miners Union.

The Gilt Edge Lodge No. 107 of the
Judith Mountain Miners Union de-
serves much credit for the excellent
arrangements made by them for the
taking care of sick and disabled min
ers of that district and the thorough
manner in which their hospital is
conducted.
The building is a pleasantly situa-
ted five room structure which con-
tains all the necessary adjuncts of a
first-class hospital and is in charge
OF a physician who is skilled in all
branches of his profession. The gen.
tleman in question is DIR. ]. w. Lakey,
who for some time past has been as
Stating H. H. McCauley and who now
has full charge of the institution.
Miss O'Brien, a trained nurse, is in
constant attendance and the sick and
disabled miners are taken care of in
very able manner by the lady, who
thoroughly understands her work.
The hospital contains two wards,
one of which is for convalescents. an
operating and consulting room, all Of
which are htted up in the latest and
most approved manner. It is we'll
worth while for visitors to Gilt Edge
to inspect the institution, which is al
ways kept in a most orderly condi-
tion.
