Coffee Giace lcinu.

Sift half a pound of confectioners
sugar into a pan over gentle heat,
add slowly enough warm water and
coffee essence to make it thick
enough to coat the back of a wooden
spoon. Stir it over a slow fire, but on
NO account let it boil. If you add too
much water or essence stir in more
sugar till it is the right consistency.

A Distinction and a Difference.

into the garden and pointed to a bed
of flowers that had considerable

the girl of to-day is familiar, if not

Temperance Of Black Satin.

HS&PPedTdUCS OF 6ldCK 0dlIOs
Black satin is one of the vogues of
the season-satin of the softest quail
ity, that drapes as easily almost as
washing silk. For many seasons past
the black satin dress has been out Of
fashion, and we have seen little of this
excellent material for the composition
of complete gowns, so that, for this
purpose at least, it reappears almost
as novelty. One of the smartest of
black satin gowns is made with a
f1ounced and gauged skirt, and the
prettiest Of pelerines, opening back
and front over blouse of guipure
lace. Black satin blouse costumes
and others with fashionable draped
and crossover bodices, with vests OF
lace, are other pretty styles that are
creeping into favor.

The millinery world is gay with

MUCH has been said about all kind

Ornaments That Are New.

Brooches and pins offer a plethora
of choice. Three little chicks, with
diamond eyes and bills of pale yellow
enamel, standing on a bar of gold,
make novel design. Very attractive
brooches have the maidenhair fern,
the lily-of-the-valley and the snowdrop
treated with great delicacy and skill.
Fine enamels are employed for the
leaves and drop pearls for the flow
ers.
Endless are the devices for pend
ants and necklaces. The dainty chains
passing through jeweled slide OF
dewdrop-like scroll work, with pend
ant pearls set tasselwise as finish,
gives charming effect. The rope of
pearls used as a necklace, with slide,
and terminating in veritable tassels of
pearls is also uncommon. Pendants in
festOOn effect and the matrix in gold
and enamels are among the choice de-
signs.

Double-Decked Ciothes-Hanuer.

Still another change has been
wrung on the ever-present coat hang
er, adapting it, in the opinion of the
inventor, to a multiplicity of uses
which in actual practice are never
realized. In addition to the familiar
hanger with shoulder pieces, there
is a second shoulder piece depending
from the first. This design has the
merit of permitting the utilization of
closet space to better advantage, as
the height of the closet is rarely filled,
while the depth is always crowded.
Another feature is the wire support
across the lower shoulder piece, in
tended for use as trouser support

Mint Jelly.

Prepare the mint juice by washing
a cup of. mint leaves, adding to them
cup of boiling water and letting
them steep for one hour. Cover a
bowl with cheese cloth, pour the
leaves and water on this, then roll up
the cloth tightly and press out all the
juice. The resulting dark green mix
ture will give the jelly the desired
color. Make a clear apple jelly in the
usual way, and to each cup of the
strained juice add, before adding the
sugar, a tablespoonful of mint juice.
Turn into glasses. 1t will be a lovely
green color.

An Ocean Mystery.

Il is popularity supposed, and with
good reason, that every mile Of the
ocean has long ago, been sailed over by
trained photographers and every is
land, reef and shoal in the highways Of
commerce charted for the information
of mariners, 1t seems, however, that
there is in midOcean an area Of be-
tween 10000 and 10000 square miles
which has never been properly ex-
plored and is the subject Of much
guessing with the possibility Of TO
mantle disclosures yet to be made.
The mysterious area lies in the direct
line between the Hawaiian port. Of
H1lo and the bay of Panama and is In
Guided within the meridians Of 1873 and
1873 degrees Of longitude west from
Greenwich and the fifteenth and TWEEN
teth parallels of north latitude, re-
mote from the usual routes Of CONNER
cial voyages.
Interest in this stretch of unknown
sea has been kept alive for half CEN
fury by the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of the United States
man-of-war Levant in that vicinity in
1860. The vessel sailed from Hilo for
Panama and was never again heard Of,
but the debris of a wrecked man-of-
war was found drifting a year later,
ond its condition showed that the YES
sci from which it came had been
pounded to pieces. A spar was iden-
titled as belonging to the Levant
Previous to the loss of the Levant
several islands in that region had been
reported by voyagers, the last in 1859,
one year before the man-o f-war came
to grief. The existence of these is
lands has never been verified, but the
fact that different navigators have re-
ported them gives ground for the be-
lief that there may be substance to
their stories. Should the islands be
found the story of the Levant may be
cleared up and possibly some of her
crew discovered "mated to squalid saw
ages like the survivors of the famous
mutiny ship Bounty, on Pitcairn island.

State Auditor Iverson last week
sold at public auction in his Offices at
the capitol, $4,000 feet of timber seized
by the State from timber trespassers.
The timber was illegally cut from Sec
ton l6, township 81, range 26, and
criminal proceedings will be begun at
once by the attorney general against
the trespasser. The State officials
will not give the name of the tres
passer, but stated that he will be held
for three times the value of the timber,
for willful trespass.
A horse owned by Barrett & Tim
norman of Minneapolis, caused wild
excitement at Prior and University
avenue, late Friday. The horse ran
away from George Dean, his driver,
and collided with lamp post, freeing
itself from the buggy. It turned and
headed for the Brooks building. En-
tering the front door, it clattered up
stairs to the second floor, trotted
heavily through the hall to the rear
and passed down the back stairs to a
small, enclosed yard in the, rear,
where it was found placidly eating
grass by the crowd which it's antics
collected.

age, left his home when he was

ton. Then as he was regaining his
strength it was found that he had de-
veloped appendicitis, and that neces-

good disposition: and one night, Feb.

revolver and shot his daughter Eva,
and then. turning the weapon on his
head, he shot himself in the mouth
and died in few minutes. Eva Muck
was taken to the Samaritan hospital
at Sioux City and was treated by the
best Of doctors. After suffering for
over six months, she finally got we'll.

Women Writers and College Training
-Four leading American magazines
are running serials by women. It is
worthy of note that many of America 8
women writer's have got along in their
careers without a college education.
Among these are Edith Wharton, Mary
3. Wilkins, Louise Imogen Quincy,
Mary Johnston, Bertha Runkle, Caro-
Ign Wells and Ellen Glasgow, all of the
newer set.
There were fewer colleges in former
days to attract aspirants for literary
honors, and several noted writers
whose books and stories We're read by
q previous generation and are still ac-
tive received their training outside of
college walls. In this class may be
named Kate Douglas Wiggin, Ger
rude Atherton, Margaret Deland,
Frances Hodgson Burnett and Ruth
McEnery Stuart.
Successful writer's, as rule, are per-
sons Of strong individuality, and while
some natures are developed by college
influences still others would find their
native powers cramped by the routine
Of course of general study.
