There is a right and wrong way of
doing everything. In particular, there
are right and wrong ways of packing
trunks. In the first place, you ought
to do your packing leisurely. Very few
things can be successfully done in a
hurry, and this is among them. Books

you may want along may form a. bot

petticoats and dress skirts. Be careful
how you fold the latter. Don't have a
crease down the middle of the front
gore. Fold it so that the front lies
flat and spread it out the width of the
trunk. Fold over the top to get in the
excess length and tuck a roll of paper
in the fold. Have plenty of soft tissue
paper on hand and by it's means nun

It is better to put the latter in a trav
and pin them, so that they cannot
shake around. - :.

otherwise your good packing goes for
nothing. For this purpose stockings

may be uttlfzed.-Chfcago News. 3

Hawaii's board of health has of late

pose not to license any drinking places
on Molokai and it's determination to

officially charged her husband with be-
ing polygamous, and in that instance
when the charge was fled with the Unit
ed States senate the maiden name of the
alleged plural wife, as we'll as the time
and place of the plural marriage, was
not given.
Her husband was born in Salt Lake
City, January 10, 1852, the son of one of
the pioneers who crossed the plains
with Brigham Young in 1S47 His father
had five wives. He worked in mill as
bobbin boy and rose to be superin-
tendent. After attaining his majority
he spent a year In missionary work in
England and on the continent.
He was called home on account of his
fathers illness, and after the latter's
death he found the estate badly in
volved. Good business management
saved something from the estate. His
marriage brought him large property
and his first investment was in a mine
which at once struck it rich and netted
him half a million dollars. He is inter-
ested In many manufacturing and mer-
camille establishments in Utah.
In 1900 he was elected one of the ~
apostles of the church of Jesus Christ
of the Latter-day Saints, and is said to
be one of the three homogeneous men
ever elected to that body.
A year ago he began campaign for
the seat in the United States senate, as
republican. He has never held public
Office, but he was as unique and success
full in his method as any of the vener-
able politicians of the Rockies. He rail-
lied the entire church to his support, Sc
cured pledges; before even nomina-
lions were made, and the election re-
turns showed that he had swept the
state.
He received 46 out of a possible g
votes in the Utah legislature and on
March last was sworn into Office as a
United States senator, succeeding Sem
ator Rawlins. democrat. Among the
number who voted for him in the legis-
lature was the only woman member of
the body.

ANTIQUE FURNITURE.
1t II Highly Esteemed by Lovers Of
the Beautiful and ADVOCATES
of Art i'm the Home.

The decided Partially for antique
furniture and for reproductions from
the antique which exists at the present
day cannot be attributed SO much to
the vagaries of fashion as to an i'm
provement in taste and an appreciation
of beautiful work. In the old models,
says London Madame. there Is an ele-
gance of form and genuineness OF
workmanship almost impossible to find
In our modern styles, and the craftsmen
of to-day are wise when they 60 to the
old masters for their motif and insp1ra-
ton. At the same time it is not just to
say that our modern artists and design
ers have not any originality, for on the
contrary their adaptations of different
styles in order to make them suitable to
modern requirements bear testimony to
their skill. In olden times, it is we'll to
remember, there was not the rush
through life nor the demand for cheap
things which at present exist, and again
the competition was not SO great; there
fore the craftsmen were able to work
leisurely and carefully, bestowing in
finite pains and care over each individual
piece. To do such work now would
mean much higher price for the furni-
ture than the ordinary furnisher is pre-
pared to spend, although he may give an
enormous price for genuine Chippen-
dale or Heppelwhite chair, looking upon
it almost in the light of an investment;
but for a modern production, however
perfect, he is not prepared to go to such
expense. Thus it becomes necessary to
cater for the man of moderate means,
and our designers and craftsmen have
to certain extent to suffer in reputa-
ton. The best period of English furni-
ture was undoubtedly the eighteenth
century, when Chippendale, Sheraton,
Heppelwhite, Ince and Mayhem were
the craftsmen of the day; but going
back to the Queen Anne and Elizabethan
periods we find specimens of exception
al worth, which have been handed down
from generation to generation and still
retain their original appearance, age
only having increased the mellowness
of the wood and enhanced their value.
To return to the eighteenth century de-
slgners, there Is no doubt that they
looked to France for inspiration, and
they freely acknowledge their indebted
ness to their neighbors across the chan
mel, but they were by no means copy
lists; they took the French school for
their motif and toned down it's florid-
ness to somewhat severe style more in
keeping with the English taste and re-
Quirements. The French styles Louis

we have unfortunately taken our ideas

period were almost equally beautiful
but very much simpler and better adapt
ed to everyday requirements. These

and American homes and SO skillfullv

styles are easily distinguished when
