THE WRONG BOTTLE.
why One Chicago Young WOman'S
Hands Are B1istered to "a ~
Lobster Hue. .,-a

Grace is afflicted with a sensitive
skin, and when cold weather arrives
uses up more bottles of soothing To-
ton for her poor, chapped hands
than would stock small shop. The
last thing before she goes to sleep
she coddles her white digits with a
liberal dose of the liquid that best
suits them. She did this the other
night and, says the Chicago Daily
News, as she rubbed it in" observed
that it took long time to dry. Final
~ she gave it up. She had a most
uncomfortable night. Whenever she
moved, the sheets stuck TO her hands
and she fought them off much after
the fashion of cat standing on four
pieces of sticky fly paper. Once her
hair got tangled round her left hand.
and il nearly came out by the roots
before she loosened Il. This thor
oughly awoke her, and she got IN
and lighted the gas. She had the
most remarkable-looking pair of
hands in Cook county. 1nis was not
altogether surprising, when she found
she had used the bottle of furniture
polish for lotion. And, not content
10 let bad state of affairs alone, she
put on kerosene to take off the pol-
ish. The kerosene has blistered both
hands to lobster hue, and she has
three card parties on hand, and is 90
ing to act as bridesmaid within a
week

WOULD NOT CHANGE METHODS
This Shows That English Merchants
Are Too Conservative for
Their own Good.

The intense conservatism of the Brit
ish character is illustrated in the story
of young Englishman who came to
America to seek his fortune and found
It in new process for manufacturing
lampblack, says the Kansas City Star.
The principal market for his product
was Germany, but he found that the
German buyers, in turn, sold it in Eng
land. So he conceived the logical idea
of going to England and selling the
lampblack direct, which appeared to
be certain of success, for he was able
to say to the English firms:
Instead of buying my lampblaclx
through Germany and paying for un-
necessary transportation, to say moth
ing of the middleman's profit, let me
send you tho product direct. You can
then buy even cheaper than the Ger
mans, to whom you now pay profit"
The head of one of the largest
houses replied:
Really, Mr.. Smith, our house has al
ways found the goods bought in Ger
many satisfactory. This house has
been in existence 200 years, and we can
see no reason for changing satisfactory
methods, you know"
Poor Mr.. Smith got this reply on all
sides and his trip was failure.

SAVAGE ENGLISH IN TURKEY,
Natives Think They Must Have Been
Exiled for Their Dad
Clothes.

A correspondent from CONSTANT.
nople says: "The natives think that
all English women (and men) dress
badly in England, because of the cos
tunes tourists wear. They certainly
do wear the most extraordinary
clothes, and it looks as if they are do
ing their best to make themselves ri
diculous. Very short skirts and badly
lifting coats, large wide-awake hats
and thick wells, says the Gentlewoman.
Now, Pera, where the Europeans
live and the hotels are situated, is
quite like any continental town, and
the residents dress as they would in
London or Paris, so a tourist is at once
noticed on account of her remarkable
get-up.
Even in Stamboul the natives
know directly whether a purchaser is
a resident or traveller from her or his
clothes, and charge accordingly for
their wares. A Turk once asked if it
was true that all the English women
who travel are ugly and badly dressed,
or that they were sent out of England
on account of their clothes!
The natives are almost beginning
to cease being astonished at anything
extraordinary from an English per-
son. They simply shrug their shout
ders and say; What can you expect?
They are English!' BY the travellers
behavior ! mean that they walk about
the streets and laugh and talk as if
they had never been in civilized coun.

Its Development Since Its First In
PRODUCTION.

PRODUCTION.
when the plant was introduced. about
lS4O, 1t was only the small daisy-like
flower, now only seen as a rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly prized
as novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early, and before
1860 there were many ehrysanthemum
societies in existence, among them the
Stoke Ncwington, which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1859, when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts that
there was any idea of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as a novelty, Every curl
Gus and interesting, but scarcely ORA
mental" How little did the author of
these remarks suspect that future was
before the plant he so summarily set
asidel Three years later, however, we
find japanese varieties recommended
with pompom and incurved. and since
then they have increased in favor, says
Longman's Magazine.
The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn
would certainly astonish that writer
of 30 years ago. The goldenand bronze
shades of the chrysanthemum suited
the taste of the promoters Of the 'high
art aesthetic movement of a few years
ago, which, il it had no other merit,
helped to bring this flower more for
ward and revived the culture OF sun
flowers, which were fast becoming ex-
tinct in our gardens.

APPRAISEM'NT WAITS
Upon the Pleasure OF Property
Owners, Many Of Whom Have
Ignored Repeated Requests
Of the Commission
Time Limit May
Be Set.

The work of the townsits com.
mission is being seriously retarded
by the failure of the property own.
ers to file on their holdings, and
unless this unnecessary cause OF
delay is remedied the actual work
of appraisement cannot commence
at the expected time.
The property owners on the east
side are especially delinquent in
this important matter and many
of them seem to be in hopeless ig-
norance as to whether their lots
are within the recognized corpo-
rate limits or not.
The commission has repeatedly
urged, through the press, that ap-
plications be filed at once, which
requests have, in most instances,
been ignored.
The time of fppraisement is de-
pendent entirely on the property
owners, as the work will not COM
mence until all the applications
are filed.
Unless response comes coon
to the commissions request, they
will be forced to set time limit,
so that the work can be completed.
Since the commission frat began
work the members have made
every effort to speedily complete
the work here, SO that they could
take up the other towns on sched-
uis time.
1t is greatly to Vinita's interest
that the appraisement should be
speedily completed, and many
complaints are being heard at the
dilatoty action of many of the
property owners.
