INDIAN BEADING AGAIN.
Instead of Chains We Now Use It fo,
Trimming and We Get It
from Paris.

Indian beading is one of the newest
trimmings. 1t might just as well be
called Eskimo beading, for it never saw
an Indian.
Paris sends it over in widths varying
from half an inch to half a foot, and the
price jumps a foot with every inch in
crease in width. The narrowest and
cheapest of the beading costs s2.35 a
yard, but those who know say it is
worth it.
Of course, 1t is hand made and the
beads used are very small, delicate and
round, and come in exquisite pastel
shades, and, indeed, in all the fashion
able %colorings. A favorite design is
pink wild roses wrought on a springlIke
green foundation; another has forget
me-nots mingled with white daisies on
q rose foundation.
The trimming is one solid mass of
beads and is stunning on gowns, coats
or fancy blouses. The bead trimming
made by American Indians in which
vivid greens, brilliant reds and yelloWs
and true blues run riot is being used
with good effect On black taffeta shirt
waist suits and does not call for such an
Outley of wampum on the part of the
purchaser.
Missionaries should get busy and give
Indian pupils samples of the
French bead trimming, along with a
few lectures on toning down their
colors.

AMBITION OF PITCHERS.
They Are Happy When They Shut Out
the Opposing Force With
out a Hit.

Every pitcher that ever wrapped his
fingers around a baseball hungers tc
shut out an opposing team without a
hit or a run. 1t has been computed
hat only SO times in the 80 years
which have known great professional
baseball, has the stunt been done. To
sink the enemy, runless and hitless, re-
quires an almost ideal combination in
the twirler. He must have the fielding
ability of a Wiltse, to grip bunts and
stop the drives: he must have the cool
ness Of a McGinnity, the rapidity of
delivery of a Waddell and the DELHI
crate sure eye of a Mathewson. Which
means perfection.
Five years after the establishment Of
the National league the achievement
came. Lee Richmond, singing the egg
for Worcester, shut Cleveland out
without a hit. He did not give a base
on balls. Ward, of Buffalo, followed
a year later against Providence. On
May 5, 1904, the grand old warrior,
"Cy" Young, leaped to the pinnacle
and won imperishable baseball fame
by sticking the Philadelphia American
league team or the fence to dry, re-
firing every single man that came to
bat nine long innings. The Boston
bunch behind him committed not a
single error. and Young's accuracy
never faltered. He sent every man to
glory in the blood-stirring, one-two-
three order. Young was more handi-
capped than his predecessors who made
hitless. They could exercise
as much loOseness of movement, near
ly, as the nan who delivers a cricket
ball. They could run in, step back, to
the side, balk, throw the ball any way
they pleased. Young was circum-
scribed In his movements.
Corcoran, of Chicago, stands out as
the only man who ever did the trick
times. ICY" Young and Mathew
son have two each to their credit
Clarkson, of Boston, rubbed it into
Providence In 1885. Clarkson, with the |
ovable old Mike" Kelly, will be re-
nembered as half the battery that was
sold for 100000 by Chicago. Amos
in 1891, in revenge for Lovett, of
Brooklyn, shaming the Giants on the
litless stage, put all his celebrated
;peed and skill into his arm and
lashed Brooklyn over the cliffs SIM
larly. Four games Of this character
we're played in 1898, that year taking
he palm. Henley and Hatty hold the
905 record, one each.

WAS WEAK and DIZZY
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Restored the
Patient to Perfect Health
And Strength.

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless.
lngs of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
few years ago while she was employed
Ill the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness. 81
was so weak at times" she says, "that
l could hardly stand, and my head be-
Eame SO dizzy that it seemed as if the
door was moving around.
MY condition at last became so bad
that l was obliged to give up work in the
mill, and later still 1 became so feebly
that l could not even attend to me
household duties. After the slightest
axertion 1 had to lie down and rest until
l regalned strength.
ga friend who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. l bought n box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that I continued
to use the pills until I had taken alto
gether six boxes. By that time I was
entirely cured, IL for two years I have
had no return of my trouble. I am now
III h best of health and able to attend
to all my duties. Tam glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit 1 received and 1 hope
that my statement may be the means of
inducing others who may suffer in this
way to try this wonderful medicine"
The secret of the power of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills i'll cases of debility,
such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of a new tide of
strength.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 30 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

THE CARE OF LINEN.
Before Washing Soak in Tepid Water
in Which Some Borax Has
Been Dissolved.

The preservation Of linen depend
largely on the care taken in washin,
as we'll as in the meading of eacl
article in daily use as soon as a wor,
piece makes its appearance.
In warm sunny weather the liner
cupboard or drawers should be emp.
tied and their contents exposed oc.
casionally to the influences of the all
and sun
Each article ought to be numbered
so as to have a regular turn in do
nestle use. When new linen has been
purchased keep the smaller pieces fol-
mending the material. In mending be
careful to put in pieces large enough
to entirely cover the worn parts of the
linen, or the first washing will cause
the thin parts to give way.
Before linen articles are sent to the
washing they should be carefully over
looked, all necessary mending finished
or missing buttons, hooks and eyes re-
placed. The removal of stains is gen.
orally looked upon as very trouble
some. but the results fully repay one
for the trouble. The sooner stains are
removed the better, as soap combined
with boiling water makes most stains
permanent. The process must be ac-
complished before proceeding to the
actual washing. Disinfecting clothes
is not always necessary, but where
there has been infectious illness or
even bad colds 1t is wise to put the
infected clothing through some process
that will Destroy the disease germs.
There are various methods of disin-
fecting, such as the use of soaking
fluids, exposure to steam, exposure to
hot air and many others.
h linen should be sorted into sep
arate bundles or lots. according 70 the
kind of articles. The usual divisions
are: 1. Table linen. 2. Bed ard house
hold linen. 3. Body linen.
Handkerchiefs, collars and cuffs and
all the finer linen materials retain
their purity much longer if always
by themselves, and many house
wives who spare no pains in the care
Of their linen testify to the efficacy of
plan.
More time can thus be devoted to
these articles and the clean appearance |
Of the linen amply repays one for the |
etxra trouble. To prepare linen for
washing soak the articles over night
n water.
Never use hot water for soaking pur-

We wish some statistician would dg-
IRE up the amount of tobacco consumed
annually in fiction and in newspaper
interviews. 1t must be astonishingly
large. An average cigar will last the
present writer half an hour or more,
but smokers in novels burn up Ha-
vanas at an alarming rate, while a man
who is being interviewed by a reporter
will dispose of three cigars per column.
Capt. Mogg, a Pacific coast sea dog,
talked a thousand words to an inter-
viewer recently. He began by CLOSING
his square jaws on the end Of a fresh
cigar" and after he had been talking
about five minutes, his brown eyes
twinkled, and he fished a fresh cigar
out of a gunmetaI case" The hero of
fiction "tosses away" a cigar or Gig
arctic on every other page, if he be
a pipe smoker he is continually
knocking the ashes out of his pipe"
One thing should be said in praise of
the smokers of romance-they seldom
borrow matches, whereas smokers in
real life procure them exclusively from
their friends.

EvaDOfaied Fruits

lowed to stand in barely enough
water to cover them, as too much will

Is hardly appetizing to admit it, much
