For the Housewives Desk.

A series of gayly covered books,
bound in scarlet leather, are found
in the smart stationery and leather
goods shops. They make nice pres
ents for the busy housewife, who
has to observe system and order in
the management of her household,
as her husband does in the running
of his business. These books are so
prettily bound that they make a gay
showing on the writing table of my
lady, although there is nothing friv-
olous or Eighty about their con-
tents. A large fiat book is the dim
ner record. This is an aide memoire
to the hostess, who cannot be expect
ed to remember whom she invited
and who declined and accepted her
invitations during the dinner giving
season. The recipe book, the house
hold expense book, the expense book
and all the other handy and bust
nesslike arrangements to facilitate
the smooth running of the modern
home are to be had in convenient
form.

KILLED BY AN EARTHQUAKE


MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18-One of
the most terrible catastrophes
in the history of the state of
Guerrero is reported to have &C.
CURED late Thursday afternoon,
when an extremely violent earth
quake shock was felt at Chilpan-
zlngo, causing a great loss of life
and injuring many persons.
Details from the stricken dis
trict are very meager, but scat
tering reports received here in
dicate that PROBABLY 800 persons
were killed and as many more
injured.
II is known that the state cap
itol, the parish church, and many
business houses and residences
are IN ruins, and there is much
suffering as a result of the awful
seismic disturbance.
One of the edifices that suffer
ed most was the federal tele-
graph Office, which explains the
paucity of news that has so far
reached this city.

Polish For Hardwood Tables.

Polished tables and doilies are
rapidly replacing the tablecloth, and
any one who has a good hardwood
table may easily adopt this pretty
custom if the scratches and stains
which deface it are removed. Nor is
this a difficult matter. a coat of
brown shellac, a thorough rubbing
once week with a purchased polish
or with raw linseed oil with few
drops of turpentine and daily pol
ish with an oiled bit of flannel will
give handsome table top. "Elbow
grease" is the secret of a perpetual
polish. Doilies are now so varied,
so abundant and so pretty-prettier
than any cloth, no mater how beau
tiful-as well as much easier laun-
dered, that there is small excuse for
not dispensing with the large cloth.
The best centerpiece for everyday
use is a hemstitched damask square.
This will last fresh for week, while
more elaorate designs may be sub
stituted for special occasions. Small
doilies come in all sizes and at all
prices, from the costly cobwebs of
Mexican drawnwork and the exqui-
site honiton lace ones to the mex
pensive torchon lace and linen or
simple squares of hemstitched linen.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
information Furnished by a Newspa.
per to Correspondents.

Several leading journals of the
nation have department of replies
to questions of legal character.
The department is supposed to be
edited by lawyer of considerable
scattered intelligence, and there is
no doubt that he earns his money.
Naturally it follows that if one or
more leading journals indulge in
this sort of thing there is no reason
why the number should not be in
creased. For Instance:
Miggs.-You say your next door
neighbor has built spite fence
close to your dining room windows
that entirely darkens the room, and
you ask what you can do. Answer.
Try lighting the gas.
X. Y. 1t depends on the man
who gives the note whether it is
good or not if dated on Friday.
Anxious Wife.-Why not write to
your husband and ask him if he will
pay your board while you are Sc
cretly securing a Dakota divorce
from him?
John Henry.-If you gave the girl
the ring in good faith, it may be diff
fcult for you to get it back again.
You say she laughs at you when you
ask for it. At the same time we
cannot advise you to begin a fifty
dollar lawsuit to secure a two dollar
ring which you admit is plugged and
is presumably plated.
Mary Jane.-You say the young
man stole kiss from you and that
you want legal redress. But We
really cannot approve of this. If
the young man seems truly repent
ant and is willing to return the stol-
en- goods, you would do wisely if
you concluded to call it square.
Aristides.-You say the tramp
struck you, but you fail to tell for
how much.
Mabel.-We do not feel competent
to advise you as to the style of hat
you should wear during your breach
of promise suit-something fetch
ing, of course, but be careful not to
put it on quite straight. Most
judges prefer slightly rakish an
gle.
Matrix.-No; mortgage execut-
ed on Feb. 81 will not stand.
Jennie Wren.-We do not see that
you have any redress, although the
case is certainly an aggravated one.
If your pet dog bit neighbours boy
and caught the chicken pox by so do
ing, about the only thing left for
you to do is to train your dog to be
more discriminating.

Remedy For Couuhs.

A home remedy for cough is the
following: Take half the quantity
of castor oil that can be purchased
at the druggists for cents and put
it over the fire to simmer. Add a
cupful of graduated sugar and half
a lemon from which the seeds have
been removed. Allow the mixture
to simmer for fifteen minutes or so,
taking care not to let it become
dark in the process. Strain, bottle
and take teaspoonful when the
cough becomes troublesome.

FAVOR SHIP SUBSIDY
Senate Committee Reports on the Frye
Measure.
Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10-
The senate committee on CON-
merce yesterday authorized a
favorable report on Senator
Frye's ship-subsidy bill. The re-
port will be made by Senator
Frye. The democratic members
of the committee voted against
reporting the bill. They also
voted solidly for a motion offered
by Senator Mallory to strike out
the general subsidy provision of
the bill. The committee made
several amendments to the bill.
The most important were: AL
lowing mail-carrying vessels
under the bill to be either non or
steel, instead of steel only, as
originally provided. and anoths r
reducing to 1000 gross register
ed tons the vessels receiving a
bounty under the bill.
The report prepared by Sena-
tor Frye, was read to the COM
mittee. 1t says that the purpose
of the bill is to establish the
maritime supremacy of the
United States in trade with Asia
and in the gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean: to establish thor
oughly trade between the United
and South American republics,
and to give the United States a
respectable representation on the
North Atlantic. The claim is
made that all these results will
be accomplished within ten years.

ALL OVER The HOUSE.
conveniences For the Tea Drinking
English Ladies.

New designs or notifications in
the line of household conveniences
possess a perennial interest for the
housewife, particularly the alert
American who keeps watch for ev-
erything that will Tighten the work
of the household or is calculated to
add to the convenience or comfort
of the members of the family.
Ingenious as are our Yankee in
yentors, they do not enjoy the COM
plete monopoly in the way of In
ventiveness. In the land where aft
ernoon tea holds such sway as in
England it is to be expected that
some genius would find way to
make it easy for the tea drinker to
handle his cup of liquid refreshment
and the accompanying biscuit or
cake at the same time. A little con-
!rivance has been devised which is
attached by means of clip to the
teacup and a handy and practical
resting place for the cracker, sand
wich, ETC., is thus provided. The
tea infuser with its long handle is
another convenience that will ap-
peal to the dispenser of this popular
beverage. Claret and water jugs,
tea and coffee pots, cream and milk
ewers are appearing nowadays in
classic form, and many of the new
designs are copies of old Roman,
Etruscan and Italian patterns. They
are ornamental as well as useful.
