A Hint About Buttons.

The buttons of the winter are rich
ly elegant, but the person who does
not want to pay quite so much for her
buttons as Dame Fashion requires,
can still keep in the march of style
by making her own buttons. She can
cover button molds and make set
of buttons every whit as elegant as
any she can buy.
One lovely button set consisted OF
button molds covered with turquoise
blue velvet. In the very center OF
each button there was sewed a little
bit of pearl. Another and more elab-
crate button was covered with blue
silk. And on top of the button was
very tiny blue silk rosette, making
button as round as ball. Buttons
with much handiwork on them are
used for ornament, not utility.
There are button sets, made OF but
ton molds covered with silk in all
sizes, to be used in various ways in
the trimming of a costume. There
are the tiny little buttons, and the
buttons of medium size, terminating
with the great fiat ones that are used
for the backs and the fronts of the
Directoire coats. Thus one manages
to get variety.
A set of this description was hand
embroidered, in white, each button
with different pattern worked upon
it. Crosses and other conventional
designs were worked out and the set
when completed was as stylish as one
would want.

Steamed Chicken,

Rub the chicken on the inside with
pepper and half a teaspoonfnl of salt;
place in a steamer in a kettle that
will keep it as near the water as pos
sible, cover and steam an hour and a
half; when done, keep hot while dress
ing is prepared, then cut up. arrange
on the platter. and serve with the
dressing over them.
The dressing is made as follows:
Boil one pint of gravy from the kettle
without the fat, add cayenne pepper
and half teaspoonful of salt; stir a
tablespoonful of flour into quarter
of pint of cream until smooth. and
add to the gravy. Cornstarch may be
used instead of the -four, and sone
cooks add nutmeg or celery salt.

paper cover the spots with clean blot
ting paper and press it with hot fat
iron.
Starchy foods should always be
cooked in boiling water which con-
tains little salt, to render the food
digestible.
A few drops of turpentine poured
on woolen cloth and rubbed vigor-
ously against the leather will cleanse
tan shoes most satisfactorily.
When milk that is not perfectly
fresh is used in cream sauce or soup
do not add salt until just before serv-
ing, to prevent the milk curdling.

Net Gowns Of the Season.

The net costumes studded with tiny
rhinestones instead of the steel pail
lettes are very effective and newer
than the ordinary spaDgled gown. On
pale yellow. turquoise blue, shell pink
or white net the rhinestones show up
excellently. and their glitter is always
attractive with a young girls bright
color. A white net on chiffon gown is
rarely effective If made up over col
ored lining. and with dress OF any
shade the silk slip should be Of cor
responding color.

The new South has produced new
 woman who seems to be worth atten-
 tion. We do not mean attention
 from men solely, but just atten- ton. Miss Anne shingleur, a native of
 Georgia, born in aff1uence and reared in luxury, was the daughter of one of the largest cotton dealers in the South.
 From her father she learned the de-
 tails of the cotton trade and after his death. in 1895, she determined to make practical use of her knowledge. To
 day she is considered one of the most efficient business women in Dixie. She
 has managed a cotton compress, con dueted a cotton-buying business and established an extensive insurance bus mess. She does not, however, devote all her energies to business. She is literary in her tastes and is regarded as an exceptionally well-informed wo-
 man. She is said to be fine llorse-
 woman, a good shot and rower and an
 accomplished disciple of Izaak Walton. She plays golf and tennis and is pro- ficient in other athletic amusements.
 A new woman'' who can grade a
 bale of cotton, send it through the ] compress, keep in touch with the mar kafc If +tn 1xyorld ond eunar,,;ro +ba
 workings of large plant of machinery
 is remarkably well endowed for a bus
 mess career And the other things Miss | Shingleur can do show that she is re-
 markedly well endowed for other
 careers. We verify believe she could keep house well if she wanted to.

hundred thousand-in 1881, when it was S04,549. And not only has there been this steady increase in the total num- Der of paupers, but for the last i've years the ratio to the population has increased steadily. In 1901 the total number was 707,446, or one to every thousand of population. In 1902 1t was 72O.445, or 22.1 per thousand; in lsOS' 742,93S. or 22.5 per thousand; in 1904, 769,029, or B per thousand, and in 1905. S23,S54, or PA per thousand. The total number of paupers for the current year is divided into 259,S indoor and 564,5OS outdoor cases, or, in other words, one person in every hundred and twenty five living in England and Wales is in the workhouse.
 The number of paupers in London is 12S.1S2, or one in every thirty-six of population, the largest number since 1871, when there were 162,425, and a number which has been approached but once in the interval, in 1895, when there were 125,435. Contrary to the condi- tions in the country districts, the paul pers in London are largely in the work house, the number of indoor paupers being 77,495 and outdoor 50,69S. The one provincial district to show a decrease in the number of paupers in comparison with last year is the southwestern, in- cluding the counties of Wilts, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. All other districts show an increase, the greatest being in the eastern district, which includes Essex, Suffolk and Nor folk counties, where there are 67,975 paupers this year, as against 57,S62 last year, an increase of 1o,11S. In addition to these figures, covering England and Wales and including those immediately classed as paupers, there is a large number of what may be termed 'cas- uaP' paupers, or what, perhaps, in this country would be termed tramps. In this direction it was shown that on the last Friday in January relief was fur nished in England and Wales to il, ,7s5 of these, of whom only 1,15s were guests of London institutions, the ten thou sand or more of others being in the provincial districts. ......, :

PRECEDENCE IN WASHINGTON.

Hardly a year passes in which a dis pute does not arise: in Washington as to questions that have relative value in the eyes of the cultivated; it causes inextinguishable laughter in the un- initiated. What difference does it make whether the dean of the diploma tic corps is received before the Secre- tary of the Department Of the Interior on New Years Day by the President? :? asks the man in the remote settlement, as he dips his hand into the prunes at the crossroads grocery shop and sends his tobacco juice at the stovepipe with unerring aim. What difference does it make whether there is a New Years reception or whether there are Ambas- sadors or Ministers or any ceremonial or order of any kind? None, in the opinion of the half-civilized citizen who eats his pie as he pleases and yet who grows hot under the collar if the flag is not publicly respected. He does not realize that official etiquette is one of the means by which his country is made respectable in the eyes of men who know the value of symbols. ., :. ]. Ceremony has it's value. Life is some times made easier and more comfort able by recognizing this; in Washing ton, where it holds it's legitimate place, complicated knots are, by the aid of common sense and good feeling, often cut to the satisfaction of all concerned. Difficulties in precedence that would break the heart of a Spanish grandee are arranged in the twinkling of an eye and, as it is admitted that the capital is becoming the most educative of our cities, let us admit, too, that one of it's educational advantages is the lesson of restraint, reticence and politeness which it offers.

WILL PEACE COME NOTa

The Czar has summoned council of war for to-day and it is to be hoped that the talk will result in a willing ness to accept the generous peace terms which Japan is said to be willing to of- fer. Probably it is too much to expect of Russia that she will come right out and squarely acknowledge her error and injustice. That isn't Russia's way. But the Czar and his advisers know we'll enough what the situation is. Rus sia went into Manchuria in 1900, during the Boxer troubles, to restore order. Since, and pending the outbreak of the present war, she has made no less than seven distinct promises, at as many times, to evacuate. On April 8, 1902, she signed the Manchurian convention which provided that within six months she would turn back to China the re- zion south of Mukden, within a year the region as far north as Harbin, and within eighteen months the remainder of Manchuria. When signing this agree ment Russia implied that the proposed evacuations were consonant with her honor. her interests, and her obliga- tions. She recognized that Manchuria was Chinese, not Russian, soil, and made impossible the claim that it's pos session is necessary to Russian repose and security, ..s F.
 Russia. is now going to get out of Manchuria much less gracefully than she could two years ago. But grace or no grace, she ought to give the peace for which her oppressed subjects and the, world are signing, If she wont now she ought to be and probably will be still further licked.

 The Japanese know how to argue as we'll as fight. Baron Suyematsu, in an article in, a Parisian review, ridicules the notion that Japanese expansion can in any way be menace to French Co., chin China. He argues that Japanese interest in the Korean peninsula and Manehuria is one thing and in Cochin China quite another. Geography, his- tory, national security, all dictate the establishment of Japanese predomi- nance in the former region. The case of Cochin China, Annam and Tong king, he says, is quite different. Geo. graphically, these countries have no strategic value for Japan: historically, there has been no community of thought or feeling between Japan and Cochin China, and commercially, the relations between the two countries have assumed serious importance only quite recently. Speaking generally, France is a good client of Japan. Jap anese silk is a. considerable item in French imports, and to maintain and develop this trade the two countries should be friends. Japan appreciates, furthermore the value of French sym pathy; and even if all these considera- tions did not suffice to induce her to wish to remain on good terms with France there is one conclusive argu- ment, namely, the impractical and fu- tile character of enterprises hostile to France in Cochin China. He goes on to say that the tone of much French crit icism of Japan since the war can scarcely be attributed to sentiment of loyalty to Russia. Many Frenchmen, he says, seem to forget the interests of their own country in insulting" Ja- pan. To raise the spectre of the "yel- low peril'' is unworthy of a civilized people with whom Japan desires to re- main at peace.

Another way to live long. A famous French general, when asked how it was that he had such an erect carriage, re- piled that it was because he bent over and touched the floor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had &C., quired rigidity of the spine so that he could not do that he would have had with it weak abdominal muscles, which result in portal congestion. This por- tai congestion interferes with stomach digestion and with the action of the liver. The poison-destroying power of the liver is lessened, autointoxication results and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at a much earlier day. But by keeping the spine flexible and the abdominal muscles strong and taut the portal circulation is kept free and old age is held off

 In a letter about commercial schools of Germany Consul John F. Winter (Annaberg) says: Great attention is directed to foreign languages, especially to English. A large and constantly in- creasing number of merchants are now able to prepare and draw up their own catalogues and circulars in English without assistance, and although these efforts may sometimes be gramatically faulty, they serve their purpose well and contribute to the export of German goods to the United States and other English speaking countries. The thorough schooling in modern lan- guages tends to deepen the tendency of the young German merchant to regard the whole civilized world as his com- mercial inheritance"

SOUTH DANVILLE GOES WET"
Small Majority Favor Licensing the Sale Of Liquor

Alter period of more than two years
of nominal dryness, the four wards OF
Danville on the south side OF the river, at
an election held Thursday, under the
local option laws, gave a majority OF Is
in favor OF licensing the sale OF liquor.
There was no election in the two wards
in North Danvile.
1t is not unlikely that the election will
be contested. Great interest was mani
tested by both sides.
The drys claim that they will contest
the election on the grounds OF illegal vot-
ing. The drys had a majority OF judges
at every precinct in the city and the vets
contend that nearly 100 OF their votes
were rejected This action was taken un-
der the ruling of Attorney General Ander-
son, butin the face OF the strongest legal
opinion in the city.
All the ministers in the city remainded
at the polls all day, but there was an ut
ter lack of women on the streets and at
the polls. The total vote cast was 612.
The city voted dry by more than 200
majority two years ago.
