Of the residents of furnace-heated houses
are now wondering where and how they

may regard it as only a coincidence that

symptoms Of the cold the day or the day
after the fire was started. Yet they do
not think it possible that they Caught
cold from the heat. They forget that
the heating fues have been idle for many
months, accommodating dust, and that this
dust is blown into the living and sleeping
rooms of the house as soon as the regis
tiers are opened and the hot air begins to
rise. This is unquestionably a prolific
cause of affections of the respiratory or
gans. 1t would be much better to open
every window and door in the house as
soon as the furnace is lighted and for
several hours let the hot air escape. carry

few pounds of coal than to suffer illness
and to pay consequent doctors bills

the most of verything-nothing is

The prevailing tendency toward
bright trimming on gowns, etc., recalls
curio1e craze of the women of the
eighteenth century. Bright metal
threads, usually of much higher intrin-
sic value than those used in manufac-
ture now, were seen in trimmings for
gowns, wraps, ETC., also in making up
fancy work. The women of the court
were possessed of an intense desire
to procure gold threads for the man
ufacture of costly bagatelles, and neg
iected all other work for 'parfilage,"
as the working UP of gold rawlings
came to be called. Even in a round of
visits women would carry with them
two work bags-one for a pair of scis-
sors and odds and ends of any material
from which gold thread could be I'M
twisted and pulled out; the other for
the precious threads themselves. Eco
nomfcal court women made this a
source OF revenue, some gaining as
much as $500 per annum by disposing
of this thread to the Jews, even prin-
ceSSeS being SOrdid enough to engage
in these financial ventures. The sight
of women engaged in this dissection of

LAWYER WINS SUIT
BY KEEPING SILENT
His Clever Scheme Shows Jury What
Might Happen in Four. Minutes.

Bert Nortoni, of Macon. won a law
suit in the federal court at Hannibal
a few days ago in a way unusual
among lawyers-by silence. Mrs.
Martha B. Phipps, of Macon, sued the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way company for $4,000. She. claimed
that a spark from one of it's engines
caused the burning of her deceased
husbands business property at Ethel.
The testimony showed that the Santa
F'e train stopped at Ethel four nit
utes the night of the fire, but also that
the fire was well under way before the
train pulled out, and the roads attor-
neys argued that it was ridiculous to
maintain that fire could be started
by spark and get we'll under way in
such a short time. Mr.. Nortoni, de-
voted practically his entire argument
to this point.

reads in the papers of husband and
wife who have been through the di-
Vorce court appearing for the second
time as joint principals at the altar
The marriage of two thus situated
was announced in the London Times
two years since. The couple, who had
been united in Wedlock eighteen years
previously, had, after a while been d.
vorced, only to come once again to-
gether and renew the old ties.
The life history Of the late German
ambassador to the court of st. James
contained similar romance. AS far
back as 1853 he espoused a beautiful
American heiress, the daughter of an
American, Mr.. Moulton. The young
couple lived happily together for nine
years, when dissenSions arose. which
ended in the wife seeking and obtain
ing a divorce; after which she return
ed with her children to her father.
Fifteen years went by, when the
husband, who by that time had be-
come well known in the fashionable
and diplomatic London world, CHANGED
to be on a visit to Baden-Baden. AT
that pleasant resort he one evening
encountered her who had formerly
been his wife. The old love, that had
but slumbered, was Weakened. Their
lowing September they were again
married, and their renewed essay in
wedlock proved an unclouded success.
Not so happy was the termination
Of the connubfal adventures of a Ger
tain Capt. Helson, as related by the
Viennese journals. This gallant Off
Ger duly fell in love and was married,
only to be divorced soon from the for
mer object of his affections on account
of incompatibility of temperament.
Both drifted apart, and i'll the course
Of time each took another partner.
Five years later, however, they again
met; their former love sprang into
life; they divorced their respective
mates and once again became husband
and wife. Alas! after brief months
welded bliss the succor OF the divorce
court was for second time invoked.
1t was in 1884 that Ernest AnnesIey
Wooed and won his wife. For six
years all went we'll; then differences
arose and a divorce was obtained. Not
long afterwards, matters having been
adjusted, the couple, at Milwaukee,
again became man and wife. In 1893

Revival of the Glove Apple.

Among the most interesting of the
recent revivals of ancient feminine arts
must be noted that Of the fragrant
keepsake of old times, the Glove apple,
or apple stuck full of cloves In the or
nate times of great characteristic who
left 1000 frocks in her extensive ward
robe-one reads of oranges stuck full
of cloves. But her physician, John
Caius, advised patients to "smele to an
old swete apple to recover their
strengthe," and perhaps the Glove ap-
pie originated from this ancient tonic.
In our -grandmother's day the
making of a Glove apple ranked as a
genteel accomplishment and the gift of
one a graceful and welcome present.
In more recent times this art still lin
gered on, for Mrs. Alice Morse Earle
says that when she was little girl her
mother taught her to make one This
was in the war time, when spice was a
high priced commodity, and therefore
the maker was obliged to be careful not
to waste the cloves.
Twenty Glove apples We're recently
made by a woman who had promised
herself as a child to make a barrel Of
them when grown UP. These, she dis

case the old-fashioned spicy token of
regard was received with delighted sur

NEW YORK, Feb. ia meeting Of

Blair said that, being resident of ST..

that everything was progressing ia

that decision had been reached unani-

Blair, ito be used as our headquarters.
This we will accept, and it will be

be no exhibit placed in the building,
however, and it will be used simply
for executive Offices and for social
functions"
Mrs. Blair was asked to give the
reasons for the final decision not 20

mo appropriation for such a pur-
pose was provided for in the act of
congress relating to the exposition"
she explained "The sum needed was
about $150,000. I suppose it was
thought we would raise the money. I
have not recommend that course to
the board of managers, however, and
no effort in that direction will be
made. 1t has taken fifty years Of hard
work to put women on an equality with
men, and they are equal in the expo
sition, but we will have no building"
Mrs Blair announced that the idea
of erecting a hall of philanthropy had
also been abandoned. This project
would have involved a sum of about
$4,000.
