Slender Woman's 5 Day

Tall, slender women have it all their
own way. The perfect figure has been
discussed of late by the Americans, and
their fat is that slenderness combined
with good lines is essential; but it is
no good being thin unless you are will
lowy and graceful. The taller, the
more slender, the better the shoulders
broad, the arms long, the waist line at
the front long, the hips well shaped,
neither fiat nor hollow. The line must
be straight from under the arms to the
ankle; there must be a slight outward
curve at the back of the waist. 1t is
the greatest mistake to pad over the
hips. One Of the articles of a fash
ionable corsetiere is to lace the hips
into a fat line. stays grow longer and
consequently far less comfortable, but
while they lengthen below the waist
they become shorter above.

Hints for Housekeepers

If you heat your knife slightly, you
can cut hot bread or cakes as smoothly
as il it we're cold.
Soda is an excellent article for clean
ing tinware. Apply with a damp cloth
and rub dry.
Neuralgia may very often be speed
lily relieved by applying a cloth satu-
rated with essence Of peppermint to the
seat of pain.
Pals and tubs may be kept from
warping by painting them with glycer-
inc.
To clean linoleum without washing
remove all the dust; then take a bit of
flannel sprinkled with paraffin and
rub the linoleum. 1t will not only make
it appear like new, but viii preserve it.
A too rapid boiling ruins the flavor
of any sauce. 1t must boil up once, but
should never do more than simme +
afterward.
Don't think water should be added to
spinach to cook it. II is a mistake.
Don't fail to add a drop or two Of
vanilla fiavoring to pint of chocolate, .
II is a great improvement
Don't close the. oven door with 4
bang when cake is baking The jar

WINNERS NAMED
IN POULTRY CLASS

The hens and geese and turkeys in
the poultry building held an indigna-
ton meeting yesterday Nearly all of
building and the ribbons, of course,
were fastened to the cages, but half
of those ribbons were stolen yester-
day and as consequence the fowls
were very much put out. Leslie Par
lin, the superintendent, says undoubt-
eddy most of the missing ribbons were
taken by mischievous children, but he
said that many grown-up folk were
not above doing the same thing. 1t is
probable that at future state fairs the
ribbons will be fastened inside the
cage, where there will be no oppor
tunity for any visitor to deprive the
hens and geese and turkeys of their
well-earned trophies.
The brown Leghorn rooster with
horns instead of a crest is the only
freak fowl to be found in the poultry
show, and it's coop is constantly sur
rounded by a curious throng. The
horns give the rooster most belliger-
ent aspect and his strenuous cookie
doodle doc" sounds very much like
war cry.
The judging in the poultry building
will be finished this morning. John p.
Peterson, of st. Paul, exhibits a pair
of partridge cochins, extremely hand
some birds, which have a blue ribbon
fastened to their coop. This pair have
won twenty-four other premiums at
different shows.

NOTES OF THE FAIR.


j. C. Simpson, Des Moines, secretary
of the Iowa state fair, was yesterday
the guest of Secretary E. w. Randall,
of the Minnesota Fair association.
Mr.. Simpson is delighted with the
results of the last Iowa fair, which,
despite unfavorable weather, broke all
records The total attendance for the
week was 119, 1000, and the total re-
ceipts $4,000, or $1,000 greater than
for any previous year.
The Minnesota fair, which is about
twice as big as the Iowa fair in point
of receipts and attendance, is full of
interest for the Iowa fair managers,
who come to Minnesota annually to
pick up suggestions and Meas in the
experience of the Minnesota managers.
An albino trout is one of the Curl
osities shown in the fish and game
building. A white nAlnow was found
among the spawn OF a native trout,
and now the fish hatchery has num-
Der of those albinos, and they are ex-
hibited in this building. They are like
the ordinary trout so far as appear
ance is concerned, but lt.Iey are pure
white in color and .hc-Se red eyes. In
the same glass case with two hand
some Japanese trout is a hybrid trout,
part Scotch and part native. The fish
water that flows by means Of pipes in
to each glass tank provides sufficient
food for all the fish, but occasionally
the bass are treated to frogs and min
nows. Three catfish and three cells
have died since the exhibit was opened
and & number of the minnows, but
according to Superintendent Marty
this is not a high rate of mortality.
An added attraction to the main
building is the Indian booth, which was
arranged yesterday afternoon near the
west entrance. The booth displays the
work of Wisconsin Indians, and is in
charge of an Indian boy sixteen years
of age. A very complete collection OF
Indian arts and curios is shown.
The fair police department is in
possession of enough assorted booze to
stock a small but fairly well appointed
saloon. The cheerful fluid was seized
Tuesday night. The police located a
wagon from which a party was operat-
ing. The wagon was seized. and G. A.
Streed, Olivia Patient, otherwise
known as Mrs. Anderson, Oscar John
son, Mrs. Carlson, Joseph Nelson. o.
Nelson, Fred Linden and Herbert
Getchford rounded up. The wagon
contained three quarts of whisky, one
quart of gin, twelve bottles of beer,
several packages of brandies and other
brands of fire water. The prisoners
were released under S. bonds, which
were defaulted.
The John Ericsson is the only st.

Cotton, of Little Canada. Father
Cotton came to Minnesota in 1857. He
is now eighty years of age, but his
rudy features and his square Shout
ders make him appear much younger
man. Many old settlers remember the
terrible experience Father Cotton had
in the early days of Minnesota, by
which he lost both of his legs. While
driving across prairie country he was
caught in an ld-fashioned blizzard
that for three days swept the Red river
valley in the early sixties. To save
himself from freezing. to death he
killed the horse, cut it open and
crawled inside. After the blizzard SUBJ
sided he was discovered by some set
tiers, who carried him to the nearest
settlement. where it was found that
both his legs were frozen. They were
amputated and for time Father Golf
fon was in very critical condition, but
today he looks as hale and hearty as
man who has never encountered so
fearful an experience

WINNIPEG LACROSSE
TEAM COMES TOMORROW
Cracks of Canada VIII Meet Saints for
the Western Championship.

The lineup of the Winnipeg lacrosse
team, which will meet the Saints tomor-
row afternoon. was received by Secretary
Elliott yesterday. It was somewhat of a
surprise to the local men, as the list in
cludes the crack players Of the team to a
man. 1t had been anticipated that at least
one or two of the stars would be absent on
account of being unable to get away from
their business, as the trip will consume
about five days time.
According to the adViceS. however, the
tanned by the redoubtable Bob" Smith,
who has been connected with lacrosse in
Winnipeg, both as player and manager,
for the last fifteen years. bob" is well
and pleasantly remembered by the ST.
Paul boys who visited the Manitaoba ne
tropolis on the cup-hunting exr = 'itiG< -
1900.
Murphy, Clark and Cassidy ars other
members of the team who participated in
the defeat OF the Saints on that oeca-
sion Murphy then, as now, AS play
ing the home field and was pitted against
Raymond, the brilliant st. Paul defense
Murphy, had to acknowledge that he had
at last met more than his match, and
Raymond was promptly cnristened Little
Danger" The men will BE two positions
apart in the coming match, but in the
exigencieS of the play are liable to come
together at any time.
The big practice scheduled for last even
ing was spoiled by the rain and there
was but a small attendance, not because
the men were afraid of the rain them
selves but rather because Of the effect
OF the rain on their sticks. Those who
were fortunate enough to have old Sticks
