The stain on The Table.

When a polished table is stained
by hot dish, ono restoring process
is to use first wood alcohol and then
linseed or olive oil This treatment
is excellent for keeping any polish
ed furniture in order and is one Of
the few things for which wood alco-
hol may be used. The latter is
cheaper than the pure and for cer-
tain domestic used is quite as good.

THE NEW YORK GIRL.

who has just returned from the metropo-
that they are probably distinctive for
more than one reason. L am speaking,
too, of the women one meets on the
thoroughfal es-shop girls, society bellies
and ali. I like the way they dress in
New York. l like the way they walk.
[ like their little mannerisms in public.
The New York woman dresses well. She
may be shop girl, but she wears
neat, wcll-ftting, graceful costume. She
stands well in her shoes.
And, by the way, this is one thing
that impressed me about New York wom-
en- more than any other thing. 1t may
be because the shoe is my hobby. l like
good shoes-shoes that set well on the
foot-shoes that fit nicely around the
apkle-shoes that develop Whatever there
is of grace and beauty in a woman's foot
and parenthetically, there are no Tril-
by feet among the women, for every
mothers daughter of them can slip their
feet into Cinderella slippers But, as l
was saying, 1 like shoes that have good,
substantial soles and stand we'll on the
heels, and these are the kind of shoes
the women of New York wear.
Just from observation l should judge
that the women of the metropolis are
fond of the best there is in the shoe
market. They all wear shoes that look
well, and they are not ashamed to snow
them They wear the short skirt which
falls no further than the shoe top. 1t
gives them a firmer footing, as it were,
and they walk with more grace. Why,
it is really a treat to see them stride
down the street, looking neither to the
right nor to the left, but minding their
own little business. They combine mans
independence. with a woman's grace, and
it is really an imposing spectacle.

York dress in all respects, from the hat

A few years ago the contention was
firmly maintained that Minnesota was
too far north to raise corn, yet the ex-
hlbit in this cereal is especially attractive
and interesting. To begin with it is made
in thoroughly original way, being
shown in model of one of the corn cribs
that now are so common throughout the
state and the samples compare favorably
with corn produced anywhere in the
whole world.
Last year there was raised in the state
the enormous sum of AS 900 bushels of
corn, settling the contention that the
cereal would not grow in the state once
and for all, and the indications today
point to the fact that this year win
make Minnesota the third if not the
second state in the Union in the, produc-
ton of corn.
Droughts and bad weather are yearly
making more uncertain the yield of corn

been the center of corn production and

fallacy, long existent, that Mime
sota could not raise apples, is nicely ex-
ploded in the fruit exhibit, and the 10000
acres of orchards throughout the state
each year produce more and better fruit
than in the year previous. This year
careful estimates place the number of
grated plum trees that are being set
out at 250,000 and the value of fruit stock
set out at a half million dollars.

With such source of income it is
little wonder that the state should grow

The legislature of Minnesota waited
until late in April before it was able to
reach the subject of making an appropri-
alton for the exposition and when it did
finally appropriate $4,000 there was but
little time left in which to prepare an
exhibit that should be creditable to the
state.
