HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If dried or candied fruit has become too hard to be used to advantage in cake, steam it for few minutes
 Buy your laundry soap by the quan- tity and pile it in such way as to leave open spaces between the bars in a dry room The harder it gets the less it will wash away in using, while it does even more effective work.
 It is not the general custom to blue colored clothes but Good Housekeeping says that no matter what the color it will come out the brighter if little bluins is added to the last rinsing water or to the starch.
 Broken molds of lemon or coffee jelly can be remolded by warming the gelatine gently and turning it into a mold again The gelaine should not be allowed to become hot, as that gives it disagreeable flavor. The relocating is best done in the double boiler.
 In sweeping a carpet make long, even strokes with the broom. not little ierky dabs which are hard on the carpet and the wielder of the broom as well. Don't sweep from one side to another but from the edges toward the middle. And don't forget to raise the windows so that the dust will blow out, if it can be managed Michigan Farm Journal

NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

The lowered chiffons, made simply with wide tucks and high girdes of lib- erty satin, are girlish and charming.
 With all hand washed frocks. lingerie pettieoats are worn These are so cov- cred with hand-work lace and ribbon knots as to add to the beauty of gown
 Lingerie hats appear in different lines this year, the frou-frou effect being set into smaller and prettier lines of smart ness. The lingerie or eyelet paraso is the seasons creation, a necessary ad- Junct to the daintiest toilette
 Embroidered eyelet blouses far sur pass silk or satin ones in expense. An entire gown of eyelet is the desire of every summer girl who pays great at tention to dainty toilette Some mer- cerized chambrays in colors show em- broidered effects in white. even ex- plotting padded roses.
 Black lace gowns should be made up over black-and no bright color should be added. although dull shaded and flower gauge ribbon makes a good gE- de with black lace or chiffon Wheth- CT black or white. lace dress should not be too long. for trains are certain ly not fashionable this year and when one can follow so sensible a fad it is by all means good plan to do so.
 Smart little box coats and bolero jackets of linen are entirely covered with all-over embroidery The skirts to be worn with these are usually shert-plaited models absolutely plain. or with bands of embroidery above a hem at the bottom Washable belts and hand embroidered girdles are rap idly taking the place of silk or satin girdles. It is only with very dressy afternoon frocks silk belts are worn
 Instead of waning in popularity, the stamped and stained linen pillow and table covers have taken new popu- larity and added charm. The newest ones and the most attractive ones that were ever shown are of course linen In white. cream or unbeached tones stamped and stained in Bulgarian pat terms They are worked in long and short stitch and outline. A narrow, thick braid put on with French knots is also used in tracing outlines The braid comes In various e0lors Rich mahogany brown and green are very prominent In the pieces prepared for this season Pillow tops with linen crash Things matching the prevail ing tone are quite inexpensive. Ia ble scarfs. just now. are liked better than squares.-Chicago Daily News.

NEGRO PAYSDEATH PENALTY
Hung for the Murder of a Railroad Timekeeper Near Des Arc-Oeath in a Freight Collision at 3scoe- Two Shot by Same Bullet
Neuro Huna for Murder.

John Frazier. negro leader of mob in a race war last fall. was hanged in the jail yard at Des Arc for the murder of Webster Suther land, white, at that time The eX ecution was witnessed by the maxi. mum number of persons. 9, allowed by law. Outside the enclosure crowd of several hundred people gathered but they were orderly. Fraz- fer made a speech from the galows. saying that he was prepared to die and expressing sorrow that he killed a man. He declared that he did not intend to kill Sutherland but it could not be helped now. The killing oc- cured seven miles south of Des Arc at the boarding headquarters of the railroad crew. It seems that in the afternoon one of the fremen had had trouble with one of the negro labor CTS and had given him clubbing and it is thought that that night the negroes renewed the trouble with the white men of the crew for the pur- pose of getting revenge on the fore man. At any rate, TOW was started and the negroes made a raid on the white car, demanding the foreman. His friends. fearing for his safety. had slipped him out of the rear end and he made good his escape Young Sutherland met the mob and telling shem that the foreman was not there ordered them out of the car John Frazier armed with a fine shotgun be longing to the contractor. emptiad the weapon into young Sutherland. The negroes escaped but some months later Frazier was captured h Kansas City and was tried and eon- yicted Two others of the negroes were captured and given penitentiary sentences. One Of them. however. was shortly after shot by q prison guard while trying to escape

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

A the result of d referendum vote the Chicago Team Owners association decided to continue neutral in the strike so their s 000 drivers will not be forced into the ranks of the strik- era
 It i5 said that union politics is eut- ting considerable of a figure in pro- longing the strike With President Shea there are four candidates for the national presidency. none of whom is willing 10 jeopardize his chances by Counseling anything like submission.
 The Chicago teamsters' strike ap- pears to have settled down to matter of dOgged determination on both sides to give no ground It is probable that the ranks of the strikers may be aug mented by the 5000 employees of the Team Owners association. should the latter decide 10 make deliveries with out regard 10 boyeotted firms.
 The conference, on the 7th inst, be- tween the teamsters committee and the representatives of the Employers as sociation came to naught, the team sters making basic demands which the employers could not or would not en- tertain.

VIRTUE OF ASPARAGUS.
Not Appreciated to the Degree It Should Be When Well Prepared
 with Good Dressing.

Asparagus is not so generally grown in the family garden as it's merits de- serve. Properly grown and prepared for the table, there are few people who do not esteem it delieaey. The stalks should be grown in a rich bed and when about four or five inches out of the ground, if their growth is thrifty they should be cut-not deep enough to bring up the white, tough part but use only the green, tender lengths Grown thus It will not require any trimming but all parts of it will be very tender Throw into boiling water and cook until tender, salt when nearly done. and drain off the water. For a dressing. beat one heaping teaspoonful of four with two tableSpoonfuls of cream until smooth; add one eupful of rich milk and lump of butter the size of an egg: pour this over the asparagus and let boil a minute but do not let it scorch. or. the asparagus may be laid in a hot dish and the hot sauce poured over them If desired When the season for the asparagus is nearly over, and green peas are still scarce, nice dish may be prepared by boiling the two together In this case. the asparagus should be cut up fine and boiled about 15 minutes before adding the peas.-The Commoner

HOUSEKEEPER CHEMICALS.
The Cheap Chemical Sal-Soda Forms Soap with Grease and the Latter
 Then Readily Disposed Of.

Salsoda Is very cheap chemical, and forms the basis of most of the washing powders on the market; it forms soap with grease which is readily dissolved and carried away. Borax is a compound of sodium with borie acid. and acts as mild alkali; 1t is the safest of all aka lies and affects colored fabrics less than does ammonia. Some of the solvents for grease are alcohol, chloroform, ether. benzine. naphtha, gasoline-these. too. are all volatile and should be tightly corked and distinctly labeled-kerosene and turpentine-the latter two the least volatile-benZine, naphtha or gas oline are sometimes sold for one an other. They will not mix with water. and are very intiammable, and should be used with the greatest discretion. Kerosene is a valuable agent in the household The deodorized quality can be furnished by some dealers. ThesA household chemicals should be kept iu their own closet, away from all medicine bottles, to avoid accidents, of which we read so often.
 Oxalic acid should always be labe>ed poison; the bleaching agent, chloride of lime, owes it's beneficial effect to sub stance of an acid nature which is fiber ated from it, and the clothes hlAached by this agent should be thoroughly rinsed in diluted alkaIi to neutralize this effect. It should be used in solution only, and should be kept in bottles with rubber stoppers. The alkalies which are indispensable in the household are am monia tthat sold at the groceries is often impure), which is very volatile. potash, put up in small cans (caustic lye, from wood ashes), and this is very corrosive, and should be used with great care.-Housekeeper.

PACKING WINTER CLOTHES
They Should Be Carefully Brushed and Cleaned Before Being Wrapped
 in Paper and Moth Balls.

Upon the advent of warm weather we prepare to store our winter cloth ing in order that it may be in good condition for next season Everything washable receives thorough cleansing in that manner. All fuFs are welt brushed and hung in the air and sun for few hours. The white or light onaz are treated to four bath For this take large pan of flour and rub the fur through it exactly as though you were washing it in water. Change the flour several times, until 1t DO longer becomes soiled. Allow the far to lie in the last flour for several hours. then shake it out and brush out every particle of flour. 1t will look almost as fresh as when new.
 All woolen garments are brushed. aired and sponged. usually with naptha or gasoline, in places where they are soiled We do not stop to mend them as change of style may make them un- fit for use as they are at present. Under garments and stockings are all mended before they are put away, as we are surs of using them as they are the next sea- son. The winter shoes are oiled. filled with oats to keep them in shape, and set away upon a shelf in the storeroom which we keep for that purpose Winter mittens and gloves are cleaned and mended and laid in drawer intended for them.
 We have in our storeroom a number of boxes. labeled "Furs," Waists" Skirts, Underwear" etc. So our winter apparel Is sorted out and each lot goes into it's respective place. Pre- seryatives are placed in the boxes and we find that moth balls are as satsfac tory as anything we have ever used. The advantage of laying away the clothing in this systematic manner is readily seen. We know just where to go when we want anything and there is no need of overhauling everything to get at one garment. The especially dainty and expensive garments are given box alone and each one is wrapped in several layers of tissue paper-Farmers' Re. view.

SUNBONNET AND TUB-HAT. Directions for Making the Pretty and Becoming Lingerie Hats That
 Are Now the Rage.

The sunbonnet girl is to have a great vogue this season. From the wee tot just commencing to walk to the grown up girl who. perhaps has youngsters Of her own, tub-hats and sunbonnets will be worn for various occasions The outing trunk will not be well equipped if there Is not plenty of head wear of this order, which may go to the laundry with the summer gown and other accessories For wear with shirt waist suits there will be all sorts of dainty creations to suit even the most fastidious. One of the prettiest shown Is made of cut-out embroidery on jaunty shaped wire sailor founda- ton. This frame is covered with soft, white mule to disguise the fact that a frame is necessity. Upon this the circular embroidered crown is lightly tackled and the embroidery brim ad- justed. after which the folds of rib bon with bow at one side are tackled into position. Two 18-ineh squares of eut-out embroidery will make the hat Fold the squares and make the corners round; then cut circular piece from the center for the crown. edge this piece with embroidery. and edge the brim with embroidery slightly shirred One piece is. of course, tackled over the other underneath between the top of the crown and the joining of the brim
 These tub-hats are made of embroid- cry, India linen, mule. pique. lace, pongee and many other fabrics that lend themselves to such uses. and are variously trimmed with embroidery, laces. ribbons, flowers. silks and vel vets which, if unwashable. may be re- moved before the hat Is sent to the laundry
