NEW USE FOR OLD CUPS.
Are Just the Thing for the Mayon- naise Dressing Thinks
 Housewife.

The ingenious woman has discovered new use for her old-fashioned cups and odd cups They have long been good for nothing in particular on account of their large size and because they have no handles. Yet these big cups are ex- actly the shape of many of the mayon- naise dishes and may be used to ad- vantage for this purpose, says the Washington Star.
 With the preaching of the doctrines of salads by the apostles of good health there has been an increasing use of let tuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables of different kinds served cold with dressings. In consequence the mayonnaise cup has become a staple article of table service Many people prefer the French dressing to the rich- CT mayonnaise; some a 1arger quanti- ty than others, It is advisable to have a dish of dressing upon the table, in- stead of dressing the individual salad beforehand.
 The dishes made for holding mayon- naise are to be found in different shapes. Some are oblong, like small sauce boats with a flat rather than 1ooped han de at the end. Others are round like cups. They will all hold perhaps half pint, and the saucers to match are round or oblong, according to the shape of the dish. The round dishes are noth- ing more or less than large cups.
 The woman who makes the most of rx,1~xy4ltv,or x.fi1f1ac o1rv.c fI,of ho hoc ry. picks up at the bargain table, and has an up-to-date article of table service with little or no expense.

THERMOMETER TALES.
One Patient Sucked the Little fnstru~ ment and Another Thought It
 Was a Drink.

To people who are fortunately unfa- miliar with sickness the thermometers used in taking the temperature of pa tients are always source of consider able interest A professional nurse whose experience has led her to numer- ous localities and brought her in con- tact with many phases of life tells two stories which illustrate the foregoing statement, says the New York Times.
 In one of the local hospitals she had a male patient who was threatened with run of fever. As she approached his bedside one morning he querulously complained of lack of nourishment.
 "I didn't get enough to eat" he said. ''I feel almost starved"
 Well, we'll" she said soothingly, i've will see about that Here, she added, ''let me put this in your mouth"
 She inserted the thermometer be- tween his teeth and turned away a mo- ment When she looked back he was working the bulb around between his jaws at a great rate.
 "Hold on!" she cried, "you will break the thermometer"
 He drew in his cheeks and apparently gave a mighty pull on the little instru- ment, and then she removed it.
 Say" he grumbled, there's no use giving me that. I couldn't suck blame thing out of it."
 Another patient, woman, begged the nurse for drink
 Wait" said the nurse, and thrust the thermometer in her mouth
 The patient lay back on her pillow and l placidly closed her eyes. A satisfied ex- pression slowly stole over her face. When the time was up the nurse with drew the tube.
 Why" said the patient, with sigh of qualification, what lot of good a little thing like that will do you!"

STYLISH HOME GOWNS.
Popular Materials and Designs for Evening and Reception
 Wear.

Lace gowns are thought exceedingly smart for reception wear, and can be either all black or all white, while there are some most attractive models in the black lace over white or colored lin- ing, says Harper's Bazar. Black and white effects, however, are not thought so smart as they were Black, white or colored crepe de chine, crepe de Paris and the various weaves of crepe are much in demand for reception gowns, but are made up with so much lace that there does not seem to be any reason for calling them crepe de chine gowns.
 The odd lowered taffeta silks in the light and most peculiar of shadings are also in style, with plaited or founced skirts. One model of pale mauye and pink changeable taffeta with aounce skirt has each fiounce edged With the daintiest lowered ribbon not over an inch and half wide. Soft fichus of chiffon edged with lace ruffles and el- bow sleeves finished also with lace soften and make more becoming the rather hard lines that the taffeta some times possesses in these cold shades of coloring.
 An all-white gown is the smartest for reception wear, and can be in light weight cloth, embroidered silk. crepe de chine, chiffon or batiste. It may be on severely plain lines or elaborate in eff feet, with bands of lace. embroidery or fancy trimming. Only one point is to be strictly insisted on-it must be be- coming.

AGITATION IN CHINA.
Growing Unrest in Southern Province;
of Chi Ii and Human.

Pekin: Foreigners lately have been
much pertUrbed over the growing IN
rest in the southern part of Chi Ii
and Human Provinces. They were in
formed at the Office of the foreign
board that the agitation is largely rev
outiOnary and anti-dynasttc, thus d.c-
fering from the Boxer movement Of
1900, which vas chiefly anti-foreign.
Representatives Of The powers here
have approached the foreign board
with the view to inducing the officials
to take effective measures. The board
replied that strict orders had been
given to Yuan Shikai, Viceroy Of Cl,
Ii and Commander in Chief of til
Chinese forces, TO 10 lis utmost TO
suppress the revolutionary movement,
and added that serious trouble wa
anticipated.
The foreign board naturally minin,
ICES the symptoms, which certainly
are widespread, but there seems
ground to believe that the character
of the movement is different from
that of the Boxers Of 1900
The native papers of Pekin and
elsewhere are utilizing the coolic
question as a means of agitation.
Pamphlets and handbills are also
distributed complaining of the aileg'
ed crueties which the coolies in the
Transvaal are subjected to. The Chi
nese government apparently has not
attempted to counteract Of cheek
these mischievous statements. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the precise objac,
of the agitation, hut the foreigners re,
gard the situation as being distinctly
disquieting.
II IS learned that the dispatch Of
Tang Shaoki, the Taotai Of Tien Tsln
to Thibet, is connected with the Brit,
ish Thibetan treaty recently signed
by L'hasa, which in some respects is
distasteful to China. His mission,
however, is also connected with 9th.

Hens Victims Of Old EoqY Notions

My son and myself" said DR.. Z.
f. Hodges, took an automobile run to
Martinsyille. He was the chauffeur:
we did not return by the same road |
don't know how many hens We ran
over going and coming. We did not
stop to count.
1T is a dry time and the roads are
dusty. So much the worse for the
hens. | suppose it is different with
hens in the cities and towns, but
along the country roads they have not
yet learned to make proper calcula-
tons for escape from the automobile.
The hen is of mathematical turn of
mind. She rolls in the dust of the
highway and no horse-drawn vehicle
was ever known to run over one. She
figures closely, but always escapes.
Now, it is different when she comes
to take the automobile into consid.
Grafton. She expects to escape by the
length of horse. The horse is not
there, ana she falls under the wheels
of the iuggernaut, a victim to old
fogy notions not in accord with mod
ern speed devices. indianapolis
