Passing OF the Table Cloth.

Dinners, luncheons and teas without
cloths for the table are not only per-
missible in fashionable society, but
are becoming all the style. The table
is set upon the bare wood and napkins
are the only linen goods visible. All
natural woods are beautiful If we'll
kept and oak, walnut, ash or cherry
will do perfectly if the scratches and
stains which deface it are removed.
Nor is this difficult matter. A coat
Of brown shellac, thorough rubbing
once a week with purchased polish
or with raw linseed oil with a few
drops of turpentine and daily polish
with an oiled bit of flannel will give a
handsome table top. Elbow grease"
is the secret of perpetual polish.
DoilieS are now so varied, so abund-
ant and so pretty, prettier than any
cloth, no matter how beautiful, as well
as so much easier laundered, that there
is small excuse for not dispensing
with the large cloth. The best centre
piece Tor every day use is hem-
stitched damask square. This will
last fresh for week, while more
elaborate designs may be substi-
tuted for special occasions. Small
doilies come in all sizes and at all
prices, from the costly cobwebs Of
Mexican drawn work and the exquisite
Honiton lace ones to the inexpensive
Honiton lace and linen or simple
squares of hemstitched linen.
With a pretty centrepiece of flow
ers or ferns. not over-elaborate and
smacking of the conventional green
house designs, but with individuality
of the genuine flower lover shown in
it's simple arrangement, with plates,
glasses, knives and forks set straight
upon the polished wood, with crystal
clear glass, bright silver and fresh
napkins, no one need wish for daint'
ier or more attractive looking table.

VERSATILITY OF AMERICA.
"Imported" Soap, Wines, Etc.,
Are Made at Home.

There are some articles which seefn4
ingly cannot be produced in America,
but we must remember that Things
are not always what they seem, skim
milk m~asquerades as cream" as Gil
bert says. We are told that there IRE
artists here in New York, who are max
ing a good living painting some of
"the old masters" which bring large
prices at auction. Imported wines r
now made in California, the labels
alone being French. It is a very com
mon-place soap factory that cannot
turn out CASTLE soap, and Maine her
ring are shipped to France, and re-
turned as French sardines, says "Vest,
Pocket Condolences in Four-Track
News. Up in northern New York they
are making all manner of imported
cheese, and down in Kentucky they are
turning out many successful brands of
Scotch whisky. Nor does this Yankee
ingenuity cease in it's endeavors toxyp-
ply the demand for foreign goods, for
western manufacturers are making
maple sugar from ingredients that
never came within the shadow of a
maple tree, and are actually buying
Vermont newspapers in which to wfap
the cakes so that the unsuspecting pur-
chaser will think he is buying genuine
Green Mountain maple sugar. The

FIVE INTELLECTUAL FEET.
Library That IL Long Enough tn Fur-
nish Information Sufficient for
the Needs of Any Man.

According to President Charles1w.
Eliot, of Harvard university, there is
no good reason why the normal human
being should not have an intellectual
training that would meet the require
ments not only of our advanced civil
cation, but be up to the highest stand
ard as fixed by the learned president
himself, for recently he said: "a Ii
brary that will go on a shelf five feet
long is enough to give an intellectual
training to any human being that ever
came into the world" says the New
York Herald.
Just think of it! You can hold the
v feet of volumes, between your ex-
tended palms, and all you have to do
is to transmute their contents into
memory cells that can, at the will, be
put into action for the production of
understanding. y
Only five feet! I have taken the
trouble to put the rule on this and ap-
ply a little mathematics. AS books in
the library average, five feet means 81
volumes; which is not an array cafcu-
allied to brighten a reader.
Again, an average shows that these
81 books contain 10000 pages, made up
of 100000 words. Not so very much
material from which to imbibe intel
lectual training.

FARMERS RAILWAY.
Work on the Line Resumes and Com
pletion Near at Hand.

On Saturday Of last week all OBJ
stacles arising out of right of way
question Of the Farmers railway were
amicably settled, and work was re-
sumed on Monday. In conversation
with J.. W. Maher, oneEof the officials
Of the new line, he stated that the only
delay that may occur in the progress
of its completion would be due to
want of material. It was intended to
begin laying of steel last Monday, but
the material could not be brought here
at that time.
Mr.. Maher yesterday morning re-
ceived a communication from head
quarters at St. Paul, informing him
that the rolling stock, boarding cars
and other n~ecessaries, would go for
ward at once, and they are expected
here at any moment. Track laying
will positively begin on the 18th of
/ the month, and with favorable weather
and the, required help, the work will
be completed within thirty days.

sTARKWEATHER ooMIN

Starkweather, the new town in the
northwestern portion of the county, is
booming, at least so says J. e. Mar
tin, who sold the land for the town
site, and is now erecting a hotel at
that place. Within the past two
weeks nearly a dozen buildings have
sprung up like so many mushrooms in
a night. Among them are Caufeld's
store building, Morgan's hardware
store, Sathre's general merchandise
store, Martins hotel, a large livery
barn, and aiblacksmith shop. Besides
these structures, a number of dwell
ings are under way Of completion, and
the place presents a we'll developed
boom in every way. Postmaster
Frank Maurer, who lives a mile away
from the TOWNSHIP, is making an effort
to have the %postofice transferred to
the town. Every business man in the
place is anxiously awaiting the open
ing of the Farmers railway, in order
to facilitate transportation of mer-
chandise and other goods.

market The price is 40 cents higher
than the Keelinle Wyomings realized
on July %, and that much above the

DOCTORS IN ONE BLOCK.
sixty-Five Medics Have ThSh
Shingles Out in That Space
in Philadelphia.

New York has the most thickly pop
ulated block in the United States, and
many curious congregations of 4eY,
may be seen in its street. But PhA11
delphia has the prize block for onsN
species of aggregation. s~ixty-fve
physicians live in one block in that
city. 1t is also stated that within
a radius of four blocks in that city
than ~one-seventh OF its med1cat
practitioners is located, reports ~
New York Herald.
From the tendency Of physicians
and dentists to c~ongregate in n
street certain blocks of this city pre-
sent an almost unbroken array ~
doctors signs upon the house fronts.
1t might seem to a casual observer
that o but members of the medi-
cal profession reside there.
In Chestnut street, Philadelphia, be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, this is almost literally tr3tex
sixty-ive physicians have Offices
there. Many of the most prominent
practitioners located there many
years ago, and younger physicians
have of late years been attracted
thither. Another factor. in the surjfit
is the area mentioned is almost the
center of the city.
Yet neither in Philadelphia nor
New York are there as great a num-
Der OF physicians in proportion to
the population as there are in the
District of Columbia.

are by no near serious, and they
are not due to an Uneven settling OF
the foundation. They may have been
caused by an Uneven temperature in
different parts of the immense struc-

there is no reason for anxiety as to
the solidity of the walls.
