HELPFUL Hints.

Wet shoes should always be laid on
their sides to dry, so that the soles
are exposed to the air.
Stale bread, if dipped for a moment
in cold water or milk and water and
rebaked, will taste like new, and is
not indigestible.
Soiled spots on wall paper can be
cleaned with stale bread. Cut in fair
ly thick slices and touch the paper
with the fingers as little as possible
When making pastry roll in one di
rection only if you want it to be light
Rolling first in one direction and then
in another is almost sure to make II
tough.
To remove hard putty pass a hot
iron over it. This will soften it and
thus a broken pane of glass can be
easily removed without injury to the
window sash.
Heavy cakes are often the result
of using damp fruit. After washing.
currants and raisins should be left
in colander in a slightly warm place
for twenty-four hours.
A sewing machine that will not run
easily should be oiled with paraffin,
and, after this has penetrated to ev.
cry part, well wiped, and afterwards
oiled with machine oil.
Black marble may be cleaned with
mixture of soft soap and pearl ash in
equal parts. Apply this with flannel
and let it remain for some minutes.
Rinse off first with hot and then with
cold water. When dry, polish witt a
paraffin cloth
New cotton dresses should be
soaked for a few minutes in cold wa.
ter before washing. This removes
any dressing there may be in the ma
terial, and they can then be washed
in the usual way. Don't use soda; it
ruins colored cottons.
Stains on lavatory basins, caused
by the dripping of taps, are easily re-
moved with powdered chalk mixed to
paste with ammonia. Apply with
an old toothbrush or other small
brush. Rub till the marks disappear
and then rinse with water.

Goats of Eur Cloth

Coats of fur cloth will have a great
vogue. The white variety, which is
but zibeline with a wonderfully
long, loose, silky nap, is called kam-
chatka, probably because it looks
warm enough to wear in that land Of
mountains and moist cold. These
charming evening and carriage coats
of fur cloths, which are to be had in
a number of colors, are not all of the
plain type. Some are pressed and
more or less curly All coats intend
ed for evening wear are square and
loose. Such coats, especially in white,
are luxurious in the extreme. For
day wear it is quite different In this
case coats are fitted with the requi-
site number of seams, though not nee
essarily tight-fitting. Many are tight.
Others are of the graceful, half-ftted
variety. Some handsome ones in cloth
show magnificent renaissance collars
to match.

Tho London Fire Laddie,

London's new fire chief, Captain
Hamilton, will not be out of his nat
ural element among firemen, for the
fireman is usually a man who has fol
lowed the sea. He has served in the
navy or in the merchant service, some
times for dozen years, sometimes for
only a year or two. There are several
reasons for this preference for seamen.
First, there is the obvious advantage
with which sailor starts in being
accustomed to keep his head and hands
with nothing but rope between his
feet and death; but the chief is his
training in being always on duty. The
fireman must be always available, and
his hours of duty-as one of them joe
ularly espresso it-are 1853 week.

New THINGS to Wear.


The tailor gown will be put on the
shelf by the increase in production of
silk. The texture of the silks and
velvets this winter is much softer.
richer and more supple than in former
seasons.
Taffeta will be the material for the
autumn and winter gowns. It is sold
in double width for the cut of the
newest style in skirts. In texture, this
season, taffeta is as soft and glossy
as the foulards.
Very smart costumes will be of silk
on the tailor model, having ornamen-
tai applications of strapped or piped
cloth.
For morning wear the Parisiennes
are wearing short skirts and under
them taffeta petticoats' of different
color from the dress.
For those who prefer the conven-
tional tailor gowns let them choose a
furry zibeline and be sure it is solid
color or not more than a two-toned
effect.
In color decisions keep in mind the
varying tints of blue and purple.
Broadcloth is a standby of many
seasons, but in weight and finish this
season it is so light and silky that
it can be gracefully shirred and
plated.

"There is a disposition growing at

Mr.. Pratt. Il have found spirit in

Not Absolutely Helpless.

Some few persons still cherish the
idea that all women are absolutely
helpless in business matters, and that
they are so lacking in financial ability
that they cannot safely be trusted to
handle money.
Mr.. Black belonged to this class. He
had been in the habit of paying all the
household bills at the end of each
month, and his wife, although allowed
unlimited credit, had never had an al
lowance. One day the Blacks hap
pened to be passing the comparatively
new building in which the bank was
situated.
"Do you know, John" remarked Mrs,
Black. 81 have actually never been in
side the bank since 1t was built more
than two years ago"
''You haven'tp' exclaimed John. "If
that's the case. guess I'd better give
you check this month and let you pay
the bills. DO YOU think you'd know
how to cash it?'
Mrs Black received the check. That
evening Mr., Black asked, not without
sarcasm. If she had succeeded in in
dorsing it properly.
"Oh. yes,' returned Mrs. Black,
cheerfully.
'How many bills did you pay?"
Monet seemed pity to waste all
that money paying bills"
"Then what in the world did you do
with it?'
"Oh," returned the little woman, Sc
renely. 81 just deposited it to my own

Gowns to Match Hair.

Gowns the color of the wearer's hair
are said to be infallibly becoming.
though 1t is probable that the rule has
its exceptions, but not so much is said
about matching the hair in headgear.
In some cases this produces most
strihngly effective results. Golden
hair can be very prettily matched, but
care must be taken to avoid bright
yellow, like buttercups or marsh mari
colds, which quite extinguish it. Au-

more beautiful, and those lucky old

The harvest of wheat alone engages
about 100000 men and $4,000 teams
three months of the summer, while at
least 10000 women are needed to pre-
pare food for the workers. The har-
vest of other crops employ less men.
but the entire number of harvesters
needed in gathering the crops of the
United States has been estimated at
l,52O,70O-that is, exclusive of the
farmers that reside on their own land
and aid in the harvest.
