The display of early wash goods is
of coloring. design. and in fabric or
weave. The tendency at present is
toward sheer rather than thick ma
terials, but very thin organde is de-
cidedly less popular than it was a year
ago. Batiste also has lost somewhat
of its favor Swiss In numberless va
rieties, dimity. and thin mercerized
muslins have superseded all other
weaves in the lighter-weight summer
goods, while ginghams, in linen, cotton,
and Madras. cotton covert cloth. and
plain and fancy linens are the fa-
vorites in heavier materials.
The new Swiss and dimity designs
all show a striving after the realistic
in the choice of floral decoration, very
large designs being chosen. and
colored as nearly as possible like the
original blossom. On the other hand,
embroidered figures on Swiss are often
of the same color and shade as the
material itself.
The especial characteristics of the
wash goods now showing are the in
PRODUCTION of the satin stripe or dot,
the general adoption of a colored
ground with white pattern over it, and
the universal employment of mercer
lied effects. The latter treatment is
applied to cotton. linen. silk. and sill;
and linen weaves of every variety.
and to thick and thin materials. Mer-
cerized cottons, somewhat sheer. are
being combined with Valenciennes
lace, while the cotton cloths of a firm
er variety are embroidered or COM
bined with the machine embroideries.

The Persian's imagination is one of
his strongest characteristics, and it
has found full play in his religion.
When he split with his Turkish
brother over who should be successor
to Mohammed, he did it with the fa-
natical enthusiasm with which he does
erything-except tell the truth. The
offspring of Fatima were henceforth
the sacred embodiments to him, and
when the Turks and Arabs with almost
equal fervor disposed of the imams by
various methods of murder held to be
polite in those days, the schism was
complete. The gulf between Shiite
and Sunnite was fixed for all time.
1t has never narrowed. To this day,
in periods of stress between the sects,
the Persian accounts it greater vir-
tue to have killed one Sunni than a
whole company of Christians, and his
conduct at all times, whether in war
or business. shows at what value he
holds the Christian.
The cultivation of this religious ten
sion, century after century, has
wrought upon the Persian tempera-
ment like q corrosive acid. To the
original formulae he has tackled on
horrors and deprivation, hunger and
laceration enough to make an ordi-
nary savage turn pale. l have seen
gentlemen OF Indian tribes. shaken
by spiritual grief, cry like infants over
the atonement service at the burning
of the White Dog. and listened to
some touching mutations at ceremon-
ials in the uolands of Mexico. Even
the colored camp-meeting has its tear
full side; but the Persians' doings in
memory of what happened to the
imams make these seem like children's
troubles.-Harper's Weekly.

Boil the stalks of two punches of
asparagus until they are tender, saw
ing the tips for salad. Drain and
rub them through a sieve. To the wa

and one tablespoonful OF flour for three
minutes, without browning. Add the
soup slowly and rub until smooth.
Have ready in the soup tureen one
half cupful of cream and the beaten
yolk of one egg, and pour the boiling

y Dawson correspondent of the To-
ronto Globe notes that for ten consecu-
tive days in January last the average
minimum temperature in that far-off
corner of British North America was
sixty degrees below zero. The very at
mosphere seemed solidified by the in
tense cold, and liquids exposed in bot
ties TO the outer air froze hard as
though they We're water. When it is
considered that in the Alaska gold
mining districts there are from 10000
TO 10000 persons from more southerly
climes who annually endure this fear
full cold without murmuring or seri-
Gus discomfort, the mastery of man
over the elements is brought clearly in
evidence.

Vegetables such as onions, cabbage,
cauliflower and turnips may be made
more delicate and wholesome by al
lowing their odors to escape with the
steam while they are boiling. There
will also be less odor observable about
the house if this is done than if the
favors are allowed to concentrate in
tightly closed vessels. While doubt
less certain amount of nutriments
are lost by this means, the vegetables
by being rendered more palatable be-
come more digestible.
The same is true of boiled meats,
and the lid of the kettle should be left
partly off while they are cooking; 9th
erwise there will be a strong. unpala-
table flavor All green vegetables
should be boiled in an uncovered YES
sci. Some housekeepers claim that
dish of steaming vinegar on the range
will prevent cooking odors from per-
moating the house.

nance need not hesitate. and should
their hair be short. what prettier,
newer method is there of dressing it
than en- queue? For the lons-haired
there are coils; for the short all that
is needful is that the hair be turned
under and secured either with a rib
bon band or with iewelled comb.
Many women will always cling to
the high coiffure. and just now it is
so becoming with the hair slightly
puffed and less waved. arranged from
the centre with a twist. forming a
curl falling carelessly on the forehead.
The hair looped up to the crown Of
the head. having two or three twists
interlaced with tulle. finishing in a
fanlike bow toward one side, is very
attractive and becoming to most faces.

evening coiffure.-New York CONNER

Gown of Gray Cloth,

A very striking frock is of a fine
gray cloth with rough surface. The
skirt is cut severely tight to the knees,
after which a shaped founce shows
insertions of black chantilly lace edged
with chenille. Two of these inser-
tions run up each side of the skirt. A
tucked gray chiffon blouse, piped with
the chenille. is worn under a bolero
entirely composed of appliqued lace,
with a trelliswork of chenille and
mousseline de soie-a most effective
combination and an extremely becom-
ing one. The sleeves of this bolero
come Just below the elbow. and under
these are seen the gray chiffon and
black lace ones belonging to the
blouse. A wide. pointed. swathed
band of black panne completes this
very fascinating costume. Another
pretty blouse to be worn with this
gown is made entirely of ecru lace
over white chiffon and shows long,
tight sleeves reaching right over the
hands. Tiny. fancy Partisan buttons
decorate the front of this blouse. hold
ing together some little straps of
turquoise velvet. the blouse pouching
well over the waistband in front. as
fashion DEGREES our bodices shall still
do.

Household Hints.

Mirrors, if at all well framed and
well placed, are usually good addi-
ton.
Fots and pans that have been burned
should be set to boil with cold water
and lump of soda.
Flannels and other all-wool textures
should be both washed and rlnsed in
waters of even temperature.
After washing fine lace pull it into
shape and dry it on sheet of glass;
it will be ready for use without iron
ing.
When the smoke bells are suspended
over the gas burners to shield the
ceiling, it is better to have them come
as low as possible but not closer than
IL or Is inches to the fame.
Do not put pans and kettles partly
filled with water on the stove to soak,
as it only makes them more difficult
to clean. Fill them with cold water
and soak away from the heat

hand, in those to be used for jelly no
water should go, as it will crack the
jelly.
Parsley can be kept for winter use
in soups and sauces by plunging fresh
punches of it intosslightly salted boil
ing water and boiling for three min
utes. At the end of that time it
should be removed and dried quickly
near the fire.
A room is dusted only when the dust
is taken out Of the room, and that is
done only when it has been carried
out of the room. This is dcne by US
ing a soft cloth to dust with and by
wiping the surface of each article slow
ly and with care not TO throw the par
ticles of dust up in the air, whence
they will settle again instantly some-
where else.

If You Wish to Look Younp.

The face is. without doubt. an index
to the heart. therefore if you wish to
look always young and charming. be
as happy as you can. Dress as well
as your means will allow. dress be-
comingly and dress modestly; give
every attention to your underclothing.
Always wear nice petticoats. so that
when you raise your skirts your ap-
pearance may be dainty. Wear good
fitting corsets; they should be re-
moved as often as necessary. Never
wear soiled corsets and it seldom. if
ever, pays to clean them; better pur-
chase another pair. or. better still
have three pairs constantly on hand.
to be worn on alternate days, and an
OF them will be found to wear better,
to keep clean longer. and to be more
healthful. Never lace a corset toe
tightly. as this will push the flesh
where it should not be and cause the
weare1's hands. face or nose to be-
come red and swollen. For a slight
woman, corsets of medium length in
front with short hips and low in the
bust should be worn: for plump wo-
man a corset nearly the same length
all the way round is preferable. Let
the corset, whether worn, by stout
woman or slight one. nearly meet
at the waist. but open wider at the
top and bottom edge; this will keep
the figure in trim. A stout woman
should clasp her corsets from the top
downward, whereas a slender woman
should fasten her corset from the
lower edge upwards.
Wear your hair neatly and becoming
ly dressed; if you have very little
hair you should, in justice to your self,
wear artificial. If the front hair is
very thin an artificial fringe may be
necessary, but select one that is not
heavy or it will not look natural; if
the back hair needs to be added to,
select a switch that matches your own
in color and in texture, and do not
have it too heavy or too long.
1t is the duty of every woman to
make herself as attractive as possi-
BILE, and every one should look her
best at all times. not alone from a
motive of self-respect. but because her
friends like to think of her as pretty
or dainty. AS one advances in years,
to have pretty ard fashionable clothes
it is not necessary to dress like
young girl; the one great thing in
dress is to have it well made and we'll
hung and becoming. - American
Queen.

Stewed dates, served with or without
cream, make delicious dessert and are
always hailed with delight by the chill
dren. Wash a pound of new dates
thoroughly and remove the stones. Put
them into stewpan, cover them with
two cupfuls of cold water and let them
boil 10 minutes. Add to them the
juice of one lemon and half a cupful
of sugar and boil five minutes longer
Strain the fruit from the syrup and
boil the latter alone for 10 minutes.
Put the dates into pudding dish and
turn the syrup over them. One-half
cupful of finely chopped almonds, Eng
lish walnuts or pecan nuts may be
added to the syrup.

The authorities at Harvard are talk
ing of cutting off the veterinary
school from the university. They show
commendable foresight. In few years
n veterinary school will seem less
essential appendage to a university
than a school for teaching the art OF
repairing automobile tires. Harvard
cannot afford to bother with the few
race horses that will represent all the
use the twentieth century viii have

In the Temple of Confucius at Fekin
are a number of stone tablets covered
with inscriptions. which were dlscov-
cred by the Chinese in the eighth CEN
tury before Christ, and which,
undoubtedly, belong to much earlier
period, which have been carefully pre-
served since the time when they were
found. 1t is believed that the destruo-
ton of the magnificent library Of the
Han-Lin College, or national acad-
emy, which stood just north of the
British legation in Pekin, and which
was destroyed by fire by the Boxers
during the recent siege, has been a
loss to the world comparable only to
the burning of the Alexandrian
library.

1t is altogether probable that the
number of tramps in the country has
been oyerestimated. The tramp is n
perambulating person whose business
it is to 90 about, and who for that rea-
son gets himself frequently counted,
and thus appears to be more numerous
than he actually is. There is no doubt,
however that in all parts OF the coun-
try there are more tramps than there
should be. In Massachusetts, where
the subject of vagrancy has been a
matter of State investigation. there
were POI ,0S1 cases in 1899. The tax
laid upon private charity, of course,
cannot be ascertained but the draft
upon the public purse was $33,OSG. In
towns where tramps were made to

There are divided opinions upon the

Gun metal links. set at intervals
with threaded crystals, have taken the
place of 'barbaric" muff chains, which
are laid aside during the prescribed
period of English mourning. Jet
combs in the hair are taking the place
of tortoise shell. Black silk bows for
the hair, worn high in front, are the
only ornaments suitable for the coiff-
ure.
Satin and tulle are being used in
stead of velvet neckbands. velvet not
being a strictly mourning fabric. A
narrow band is worn tightly clasping
the throat and upon it in front are
fixed pendant ornaments of pearls or
diamonds.

No hard and fast rules can be given
for preparing the delightful drink
known as Cuban coffee. but
the following proportions will
probably prove satisfactory for

flannel bag, suspend over a porcelain

again over the bag and more water
added until the dripped liquid is thick

fuls of water, allowing the process of
pouring the drippings over the bag to
be repeated at intervals all day. To
serve, fill cup nearly full with scald-
ed milk and add teaspoonful of the
black coffee extract.
