House Concurs in Resolution.

Representative Streeter thought that the bill
was given the closest attention by the senate
committee and that If better grade could be
secured for North Dakota wheat by Wisconsin
inspection the 81 200 necessary to pay COM
missioner from this state would be well ex-
pended.
Representative Shells believed that the farmers
of North Dakota should be in favor of COMPETE
ton between Minnesota and Wisconsin. He
thought that reliable grade could be secured
from the commission, something that was
very doubtful under Minnesota inspection. The
house concurred in the resolution by unanimous
vote.

CANDLE SHADES.
They Are Charming When
Used With Discretion.

Candle shades are lovely things when
used discreetly. Table candles demand
shades always, but mantel candles and
bedroom candles do not invariably
need them, and n great deal of good
judgment must be used to avoid MILL
merry displays. Some woman said that
candle shades were a necessity on the
table because they nearly always
caught on fire and thus gave people
something TO talk about. There is Il
deal of truth in her statement that
they nearly always catch Oh fire, but
If shades are justified at all the first
duty of the ho~usekeeper is to see that
all such dangers are removed. The
flimsy paper shades and even the silk
shades ordinarily seen are menace in
this direction and should not be toler-
ated. Plain satin and satin paper
shades properly protected by ~isinglass
screens are not dangerous, and some
exquisite little models are for sale in
the shops. There are also to be had
futed paper shades treated with Il COM
position which makes them look like
semitransparent glass and renders
them nearly fireproof. Pierced brass
shades are good, but are a little heavy
for light candlesticks. The little geisha
shades are as safe as paper shades can
be. If the purse is unlimited the most
beautiful shades to be had are of mo-
sale glass, made and designed by art
list craftsmen. Satin shades covered
with Bruges and Brussels lace have
been seen, but the effect is too friv-
olous to be admired. Lace is not meant
for such unitarian uses as that. Be
very careful how you deck out the AN
delabra, three and seven branch of
Russian brass. Some Of these are
strictly ecclesiastical in design, and
shades of any kind are inappropriate,
as a general rule.-New York Post.

Doolan. "They are born wild a certain

To Revive Black Lace.

To revive black lace, make some
black tea about the strength usual for
drinking and strain 1t off the leaves.
Pour enough tea in a basin to cover
the quantity of lace, let 1t stand ten or
twelve hours, then squeeze it several
times, but do not rub it. Dip it fire.
quently in the tea, which at length will
assume a dirty appearance. Have
ready some weak gum water and press
the lace gently through 1t. Then clap
it for a quarter of al hour, after which
pin it to a towel In any shape which
you wish 1t to take. When nearly dry
cover it with another towel and iron 1t
with a cool iron. The lace, if previous
ly sound and discolored only, will after
this process look as good as new.
