In America, however, few women

four large arum lilies in q cluster.
Lady Downshire confines herself to
gardenias while in season, and Lady

with nothing else than a very good

Light DIscolors Gems.

The discoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the air
for long time is we'll known. Emer.
aids. rubies and sapphires are less sus.
ceptible to atmospheric influence, but
even they, says the Tatier, are not ex-
empt from change. If two rubies of
the same size and shade are kept for,
say, two years. one in showcase and
the other in absolute darkness, an ex.
animation of the stones at the end of
that time will invariably show that the
showcase ruby has become distinctly
lighter In color. The most sensitive
of all stones to variations in light is
the opal. This stone draws it's mar
velous rainbow reflections from nu-
merous little clefts, which allow the
light to pass and reflect it in different
directions Often the opal stands the
manipulation of cutting and polishing
well. and all of sudden It snlits.

TIE " Barrel HOzxSe"
Scotch Paper Outlines Unique Building Designed for
York

A party of Scotchmen arrived in New
York last week and on their first night
In town chartered a cab and told the
driver to take them to the barrel
house.
THE what?" asked cabby.

Nothing but foreigners" said cab
by to himself and he drove them to a
rathskeller.
The Scotchmen were indignant. They
rode back to their hotel and COM
planned to the clerk. The clerk said
he had never heard of the barrel house.
With superior air one Of the party
showed him a recent number of the
Weekly Scotsman and remarked that
perhaps the barrel house was not COM
plete yet; but it did surprise him that
the clerk should know nothing about
1t. The clerk read the article in the
Weekly Scotsman which described the
barrel house and then marched the
party to the bar to have one with him.
He isn't sure yet but that some such
thing may have been planned for New
York, though the fact that his first
news of it should come by way of a
Scotch weekly paper has cast doubt
upon it. The paper published picture

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HOUSEHOLD > :
= > > > MATTERS :
THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE.

She Has COnveniences Unknown in tho
"Good Old Days."
"Now 1t is only trifie," said a pretty
housewife, "but 1 wish to call the at.
tention of our grandmothers to one or
two modern changes from their good
old days. of which they so frequently
remind us when in the kitchen, and to
which we have no desire to return.
I'm this little paper box is a pound
of butter-fresh, pure, sweet-smelling
butter, and closely wrapped around
the fragrant yellow edible cube Is a
clean piece of muslin. Note that the
ends are neatly and tightly squared
and folded the box bearing the name
Of the dealer, and often the name Of
the dairy farm from whence the but
ter comes. Contrast this improved,
sanitary method of handling butter,
which Is highly absorbent COM
pound, and ought to be always closely
wrapped and isolated in the ice chest,
with the old-style way of weighing the
butter often on a pair of dirty scales,
slapping it in little pieces on a piece of
white paper, and then wrapping it in
coarse straw paper.
'Then, when our grandmothers
wished a dozen or so of eggs, they
were dropped in paper bag, and often
dropped to the sidewalk by the girl
before she got home. Now they are
placed end-up in neat little paste
board box holding dozen eggs, each
egg in a compartment by itself, separ-
ated by pasteboard partition.
"And in 'grandmother's day. or in
mothers day. for that matter, recall
how they had to think not to forget to
leave the milk pail out with the tick
ets,' and how, when they did forget
to do so what dreadful consequences
resulted when papa found no milk for
his breakfast coffee. It's all changed,
and our grandmothers would have a
hard time of it keeping pace with
modern kitchen improvements. The
time-honored milk pail has passed in
favor of the glass bottle, sealed and
reasonably clean. Even in effete New
York the milkman with his ear-pierc-
ing yep yellow wagon, four cans Of
milk and long dipper is slowly passing
in favor of the wagon with its cases
of filled bottles which we see on the
streets of Washington.
"Our beloved maternal ancestors in
lace caps would have heart failure
were the dear old ladies suddenly
called upon to take the place of the
housewife of to-day and superintend in
the larder. Paper boxes for these pur-
poses We're unknown. Everything eat
able went into bags, and before the ad-
vent of bags into cornucopias of brown
paper rolled over the tradesman's left
arm. Now, everything from crackers
to eggs, is inclosed in some sort of a
receptacle of prepared paper, paste
board, tin, glass or wood; the house.
wife of to-day rejoiceth in conse-
quence, and our food products are
given that additional protection
against decay, dirt, deterioration and
germs.
''In short, there is great deal of fic-
tion about good old times and these
simple but highly important features
of our everyday life explode one IA
BILE about the days when mother made
such nice pies. "-Washington Star.

HEAVY EmbroiderIes,

Embroidery to be chic Should be
rather heavy and in dull shades Of
wool or silk. In some cases the leaves
of the flowers are padded to give them
times, also, gold and silver threads
are introduced in the pattern to give
the embroidery greater weight. The
materials thus embroidered are either
the dress itself or canvas Of the same
color.

Coffee was Doing the Work in Good
Style.

Members of the same family are af-
fected differently by coffee drinking.
One may feel the effect in disorder
cd stomach while another may have
no trouble with the stomach so far as
known, but have palpitation of the
heart and finally organic heart disease,
or perhaps in another the kidneys may
become affected.
AS an illustration, Il family in Muir
physboro, H., reports an experience.
Mrs. Cole discovered that the sour
stomach and nervous restless nights
were caused by coffee drinking. Her
mother suffered from nervousness
er of the family became a wreck di-
reilly from coffee drinking.
Mrs. Cole in her letter says, refer
ring to her brother "He went from one
physician to another and his case
puzzled them all until he had tried II
different physicians. Some thought he
had apopeXy, others locomotor ajax
ia. some advised operations to relieve
the pressure at certain points, alto
gether his case became so alarming
that we were afraid to have him alone.
He frequently tainted away, and was
in most wretched condition.
Finally one of the physicians sug-
gested that possibly coffee brought on
some of the symptoms,so he was per.
suaded to give up coffee and begin
the use of Postum Food Coffee. Then
he began to recover and day by day
the old troubles left. Now ne has got
ten entirely well, has gained about &c
pounds and is the picture of health
or course he and his family use Pos
tum regularly. He says he would as
soon drink spoonful of poison as OF
old fashioned coffee.
When we first began to make Pos
tum it was boiled but few minutes
and none. of us liked it, but since we
began making It properly by having
1t boil long enough to bring out the
flavor we all consider it superior Il
the old fashioned cohee. 1t is delicious
when made right and that is easy.
A number of our friends have beer
cured of various ailments by leaving
off coffee and using Postum. With Mrs
-, the coffee caused a smotherinl
sensation, hloating and serious trou
Bile with the heart. She has entirely
recovered since changing from common
coffee to Postum"

WITH RED FIRE
And Music R F. Palmer Was

Prince Henry himself might have

A week or more ago Mr.. Palmer found
Il longing for old home scenes and
home faces growing in his heart, so he
packed his grip and hied him to Tiftin.
For week he visited in the pretty
little town and then the charms Of
Akron drew HIM as a magnet and
Wednesday night found him again
setting foot on home soil.
If Mr.. Palmer missed the Akron
people, 1t is certain his Akron friends
missed him, and they expressed their
pleasure at his return by assembling
at the Union depot with musical in
struments and red fire and giving him
an ovation. He was not carried on the
shoulders of his friends but his voyage
through the streets to his home was no
less trlumphal march.
