Cream for Chapped Hands.

A cream for chapped hands, which
is also whitener, is made as fol-
lows: One ounce white wax, one ounce
spermaceti, one ounce nut oil, all add

dissolved in one ounce olive oil. Melt
together and beat to a cream Rub

VAIN water and CASTLE soap. The
cure is aided by sleeping in loose kid
gloves after the application, as this
prevents the cream rubbing off during
the night; it also causes a slight per.
spiration of the hands, which IL

HOW SHOPPERS ARE SOLD.
Instead of Getting Wonderful Bar
gains They Very Often Merely
Buy Inferior Goods.

Very few women know that when
they think they have run across Won
derful bargains in some of the shops,
when, in fact, they know they are
getting certain articles cheaper than
usual, because they remember the
price paid, apparently, for the same
thing at other times, they are really
paying all that the goods are worth,
for the simple reason that the bargain
lot is what manufacturers call sec
onds." TO all appearances the sec
onds look just the same as the orig
inal lot If they happen to be un-
derwear, gowns or hosiery the mate
rial, manufacture and style seem eX-
cellent, but the manufacturer and the
buyer know that they are made out of
the second choice of material, and can
not be considered first class. They
are originally cheaper than goods that
were bought first, and can be sold at
something of reduction, so that $500
out of 10000 customers rejoice in the
thought that they have really found
a bargain, whereas they have paid lib
orally for what they got. Sometimes
underwear that belongs to this lot
of seconds" is marked very plainly
with the word on the inside of the
hem or edge, but very few people ever
think to look for it, or would know
what it meant if they happened to
see it. When bargain hunting it is
a good plan to find out just what
grade of goods you are paying for, and
if that plan is followed it will be
easy to see that the instances where
something is obtained for nothing are
very rare.-Chicago Post.

LOUISVILLE FOWL A FREAK.
Has the Head of q Chicken and the
Body of Duck and Quacks
and Cackles.

A thoroughly developed duck, so far
as feet, wings and body are concerned,
surmounted with a head which would
do credit to the proudest cock that
ever strutted barn yard, is a fowl
owned by Albert G. Eilers, who lives
on the Beardstown pike, two miles
from Louisville, Ky. The bird has just
passed its first birthday, and for the
past II months has been an object of
unparalleled curiosity.
Mr. Eilers is the proprietor of a gro
Gerry and saloon. and as a side issue
is chicken and dog fancier. He also
has number of ducks of the ordinary
white variety, and it was one of these
which hatched the freak fowl last sum-
mer. When the chicken-duck first ap-
peared Mr.. Eilers knew not what to
do with it. He scarcely expected it to
live on account of its deformities, but
after a sickly week or two it began to
grow and thrive. until it now weighs
nearly six pounds. The bird was
hatched from a ducks egg, and for a
week was cared for by a mother duck.
The mother soon noticed the curious
build of the fowl, however, and imme-
diately disowned her offspring Mr..
Etlers then carefully cared for it until
1t was able to secure its own living
among the chickens and ducks of his
barn yard.
The head of the hybrid is as perfect
ly constructed as that of any chicken.
The bill is slightly longer than that
usually owned by chickens, but the
head and comb are exact. The neck is
long and carries the head erect, but at
its base the resemblance to a chicken
ceases entirely. The body is long and
low and waddles about on a pair of
short legs to which are appended
webbed feet. The wings are large and
capable of carrying the bird a consid-
cradle distance through the air. The
FOWL takes to water as readily as a
duck, but eats everything peculiar to
chicken. Its voice is the most pecul-
lar part about its makeup AT times
the "quack! quacki" of a duck is heard
all over the lot. and an instant later
the "cackle! cackle!" of a chicken al
most destroys the equilibrium of any
curious observer

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
Present Fashion Is Against the Dis
play of Rings and Jewels in
the Daytime.

Women are not wearing rings as
they did several years ago." sSd a
well-known gen expert, when asked
if rings are no longer stylish. They
buy more rings than ever before, but
they use them only for full dress.
why, as recently as five years ago
the sex had craze for making pawn
shop displays on their hands, and wore
rings morning, noon and night, any,
where and everywhere. Even wom-
en- in the deepest mourning did not
discard their rings.
But it is not SO now. The ma
tron is content with wearing her we'd
ding ring, even putting aside her en-
gagement ring, while her single sis
ter, if she wears even one ring, usu-
ally adopts a plain dull gold seal
ring adorned with her coat-of-arms
or somebody else's.
Rings are brought out with the
stars, but it is now considered quite
vulgar to burden the hands with them

NEW INDUSTRY FOR WOMEN
Out in California They Get Dish Rags
from the Garden Instead Of
from the Stores.

A novel enterprise, that of raising
dish-rags, is being exploited by a
number of southern California horti-
culturists, who received the inspira-
ton for the scheme from Charles
Richardson, whose gardens in Pasa-
dena are becoming famous for their
remarkable productions. Mr.. Rich
ardson has successfully raised many
growths new to American soil, and
this year is exceeding all his pre-
vious triumphs by raising thousands
of dish-rags.
Last year Mr.. Richardson's string
beans, which measured 43 inches in
length, created a stir, but dish-rag
vines, which, with their pendant dish
rags-twine about orange trees, palms,
evergreens and peach trees, and peek
in at the two-story windows, bid fair
to win the championship from the
beans.
These dish-rags, or vegetable
sponges, as they are sometimes called.

When the Lightning Strikes.

Here is a suggestion from an ex-
change that may prove of some value:
The season of lightning losses is now
on. A large share of losses which
the farmers mutual insurance com
panies are called upon to pay is caused
by loss of stock by lightning. This
results from the almost universal use
of wire fencing for the pastures and
the failure to properly ground the
wires, the wire on the fence being
able to carry current heavy enough
to kill stock half mile from the
point of discharge. A crow bar, some
short pieces of wire and a man can
protect an ordinary pasture in half
day. A piece of wire attached to
the fence wire and run in the ground
to a depth of three feet will do the
work if placed every 80 or 40 rods along
the fence.
