New stocks and Guns.

Among the newest fads are stocks
which introduce the prevailing gold
trimming. In the main they follow
the lines of the stock which has
been worn some time, the innovation
being entirely in the gold decoration
Some are of black velvet with turned
over points of white mousseline edged
with rows of tiny gold braid and hav-
ing a band of gold ribbon which is
knotted at the base of the collar The
gold ribbon is about an inch in width,
with ends six inches in length finished
with little dangling tabs of gold fill
gree. Other stocks are of white chif-
fon with lines of gold braid between
it's tiny folds; these have turned-over
points of god embroidery while the
ribbon, which is knotted about it may
be of black velvet edged on one side
with gilt braid and finished with the
tabs of gold filigree. Many of these
stocks have cuffs to match which add
most effectively to the costume with
which they are worn.-Detroit Free

WASHING HANDKERcH1EFs.
This Simple Matter Is of More Inn
pOrtance Than IL Gener-
ally Supposed.

The dainty bit of cambria that is car
ried more for show than for use is
very harmless, but in the hands OF one
who is troubled with cold or an influ-
enza this dainty article may become
charged with elements of infection. ]
think the prevalence of catarrh is due
to the careless use of the handkerchief
as much as to any other cause, says
4 writer in Home Magazine. One per
son may impart the trouble to other
members of the family unless the hand
kerchiefs of the individual who IS af
fectcd are kept to themselves and
great care taken in their cleansing.
They should never be thrown around
carelessly, nor should they be put in
with the general wash, for there is no
better method of scattering tubercu-
lar germs. Nice handkerchiefs should
never be too soiled to be washed by the
owner in her own wash bowl. An easy
way TO cleanse them is to prepare a
basin of warm soft water and add
enough pearline to make a strong suds;
wash between the, hands in the suds,
then rinsein water slightly blued. Dry
by spreading smoothly over a clean
window pane or mirror, then fold even
" and press in large book. Hand
llerchiefs that have been used by one
with q cold should be placed under
water in which several tablespoonfulS
of kerosene have been poured and let
them remain over night. The oil tends
to whiten them and will not injure the
fabric in the least, and there are few
articles that possess the power OF kero-
sene for purifying and cleansing. The
next morning. wash the handkerchiefs
and unless they are badly soiled they
will not need boiling. Rinse very care
fully in warm water, then hang upon
a line TO dry in the open air. The odor
OF the oil soon evaporateS from cotton
or linen fabrics after they have been
hung out and dried in the air and sun,
and they are all the whittier and softer
for their oil bath, and disinfection is
sure.

The Country Editor.

Perusal of the columns Of papers pub.
lished in districts far removed from
the hustle aud everyday excitement
of the cities is liable co make the
reader believe that the life OF the
country editor is lone grand, sweet
song, says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette. Here, indeed, seems TO be
an individual who pursues the even
tenor of his way, quietly gathering
up the neighborhood gossip, scraps of
information, and at all times keeping
a watchful eye on the interests of the
community. 1t is his aim to issue a
paper of personal interest and there
fore an epidemic Of whooping cough,
mumps, measles or grip furnishes him
with opportunities to publish the
names Of most Of his subscribers
With easy grace he mentions the smile

occasion for an eloquent eulogy. The

call for sallies of wit and wisdom,
a dog fightis given the prominence it

But the path of the country editor
is not always strewn with roses.
Many subscribers are forgetful, and
reminders that they are in arrears, are
often in vain. There are times when
even the subscribers who pay in Gre
wood or farm produce fail TO materia-
lie. Hence the occasional appeals
and walls from the sanctum and occa-
sional suspension of a weeks issue.
The country editor who bumps up
against such troubles is deserving OF
better fate. He is one of the forces
of civilization, and too often he is
handicapped by adverse circumstan-
