Gently Dropping fashions.
From the Sketch.

From the sketch.
Apropos des bottles, in Paris salons the
boa" Is asdead as the dodo. as are also high
collars, outstanding hats, and. in fact, any
thing that may be described by the word
"erect." Everything Is fiat where 1t is not
dropping, and silas Wegg might now in
deed ask Of our millinery. Shall we de-
cline or shall we fall?' From her coiffure
to her toe-tip the fashionable woman Is
now in fact, built in a succession Of down.
ward curves instead of upright angles.
Directoire scarfs of lace, trimmed with
quaint little reproductions Of old-fashioned
ruches and fringes, supplant all other forms
of neck furniture. Tiny little shoulder capes
match the creation Of ones gown in color
and material, marking by a chic finish a
strange and unfamiliar effect.
The always becoming marquise coat, with
embroidered lapels opening over a highly
ornate vest, is also "all that is' of the most
modish. Little shallow scallops, or tiny
f1ounces cut In miniature Vandykes, are
again a new reproduction of an old fashion
which show themselves plentifully on the
newest skirts. Clusters of the tiniest pos
sible tucks meander down our costumes
both in straight and wavy lines, forming
the prettiest trimming possible for the new
spring materials. which are both various
and diversified. A good many Of the new
materials show tiny spots and l have
seen transmogrffed alpacas, fresh editions
of our tried friend, the voile, and astonish-
ing developments in taffetas, which, when
exploited later on, will bear none of these
familiarly sounding names.

Spring Marmalades.

Fruits are valuable spring foods. Many
people prefer them cooked rather than
lresh. Marmalade is very much priced In
EhSAsh households. American housewives
are not SO familiar with 1t. A marmalade
Is preserve of pulpy consistency. 1t is
made preferably from oranges and lemons.
Inc berries of the mountain ash and har-
berries are in some regions thus served
while ounces, apples, pears, plums and
pineapples also make favored marmalades
Nearly all of them are put up like the fol-
lowing:
Orange marmalade.-Slice very tbin1v
twelve oranges and two lemons, taking
away all the seeds. For each pound Of fruit
pour over the oranges and lemons three
pints of cold water; let it stand at least
twelve hours, then boil till the chins are
quite tender. Allow this to stand till next
day, then weigh it and to each pound allow
one and quarter pounds of sugar Boil
the whole till it jellies and the chips are
transparent. This will take an hour. Mean
while the marmalade must be stirred Pour
into pots and cover at once
Lemon marmalade-Take dozen nice
fresh lemons of moderate size. Pour about
three pints of water over each pound of
sliced fruit; let this stand for twenty-four
hours. Then boil until the slices are tender.
Pour into an earthenware bowl and let IT
remain thus for another twenty-four hours
Then weigh, and to every half pound of
boiled fruit allow three-quarters of a pound
of best preserving sugar. Boil all slowly
while stirring until the sirup becomes of the
consistency of jelly and the fruit has a
transparent appearance. In taking out the
seeds be careful not to take out the pith. for
1t greatly helps to make the sirup Pour
into jars while hot and cover at once with
white paper brushed over with white of egg.

How to Wash the Dishes.

An easy way Of washing up dishes Is to
have plenty of water and two big bowls
Having scraped the plates and dishes fairly
clean, they should be placed in a bowl Of
very hot water and soda, briskly wiped over
with a mop Ga small one kept for the pur-
pose), then plunged into the bowl Of clear
cold water, wiped dry and placed In the
rack or on the dresser. There should be
two or three wiping cloths, as damp one
leaves smears. Knives should be put into
a jug of hot water which covers the blades
and not the handles, and after a rinsing
they should be wiped and cleaned. Another
couple of bowls, one OF hot and one of cold
water, will be wanted for the glasses and
the silver can afterward be washed in the
same hot water, dried and just rubbed with
a leather. AS a final touch, when the
kitchen has been made quite tidy, wash out
the cloths in hot water and hang them to
dry. After clearing away the midday meal
and cleaning up, the housewife should take
a jug of hot rainwater to the bath room
and with this and some very good soap
thoroughly wash her hands. After drying
them on a soft towel rub them with little
gycerine and rosewater, and then no traces
of household work can be seen.

PROHIBITION PROFITABLE.
A Kansas Man Produces Figures II
Support of His Assertion.

Kansas Man Produces Figures In
Support of His Assertion.
J. B. McAfee, of Topeka, takes excep-
ton to the claim made by ex-Gov. Sam
uel J. Crawford that Kansas is being
ruined by prohibition. After showing
that the progress of Kentucky and Mis-
souri, has been at a far less per cent,
than the progress Of Kansas, Mr.. Nc
Afee says:
Prohibition is running the liquor
traffic of Kansas, but greatly increas-
ing the wealth Of our state. On De-
cember 10, 1901, there was on deposit
in the banks Of Kansas $S7, ,1S1, ,175.14,
five times as much as when prohibition
in Kansas went into effect, $50 per cap
ita for every man, woman and child
in the state. This last sum does not in
clude the money in the purses or the
homes Of the people. Many millions Of
mortgage indebtedness have been paid
off since we had prohibition. In 1889
the tax rate for state purposes in Kan
sas was 40 cents on the 500; in Nebras-
ka, 66.3, almost go per cent. higher. In
crease of taxaole property in Kansas
under prohibition from 1880 to 1880,
5000, 1884, 4,312.O6. In high-license Nebras-
ka, ss2,363, ,s2O.41, a difference Of SILL
100000 a year in favor Of Kansas. In
ternal revenue collected by the govern
ment on spirits in 1889 in Kansas; in
Nebraska, $2,l42,425. Decease in Kan
Nebraska, 122 per cent. During the
decade Nebraska paid to the govern
ment on account of spirits about $50 for
each 81 paid for Kansas. Prohibition
keeps money at home; license dissipates
it. From 1881 to 1889 the prison popu-
lation of Nebraska increased 167 per
cent, while Kansas deceased per
cent. The brewers handbook showed
that in 1880 Kansas consumed 10000
barrels and Nebraska $4,000 barrels; In
1890 Kansas 5000 barrels and Nebraska
165, 1000. About 1893 a brewer in st Louis
failed and gave as one Of the reasons
of his failure tnat his business in Kan
sas had deceased about 80 per cent.
