come common.

Two strips of the belt ribbon fast
ened one above the other to the bone
in front, cross at the sides and the

There is certain fascinating style
about the dropping coque feathers

Does Away with Sweeping.

One of the greatest inventions of
the present time is the suction ma
chine for renovating and cleaning
hotels, apartment houses, etc. No
sweeping is necessary. The power
necessary to operate the apparatus is
furnished by an engine fitted with a
wagon and supplied by means of rub
Der hose. The dust is forced into the
machine by suction, it being possible
to clean every part of the room, cell
ings, floors, walls, furniture, etc. Up
to the present time this machine has
been used for large operations only.
Now Chicago inventor has patented
a similar machine, which can be
used in every household. The power
apparatus is stationed in an clubhouse
or other out-of-the-way place and
the renovator, reduced in size so that

but this does not seem to be the
case. Inventors still are on the look
out for some device that will prove a
household necessity, as they realize
it Will command a ready market. AS
an example, an Iowa man has pat
ented a knife for cutting potatoes
that does eight times the work of the
ordinary knife Instead of requir-
ing eight cuts to divide the potato
into pieces it is all done in one OPP
Grafton The illustration shows the
construction OF this knife, no de-
scription being necessary. Six small
blades and ore centre blade, attached
to a handle, are all that is requi8ed.
One stab at potato divides 1t into
eight pieces, each piece being practi-
cally the same size, In hotels, res
taurants, etc, where thousands of
potatoes are cut up each day, this
knife would save considerable labor
and time.

their brims painted with long trails
of pink or white roses and trimmed
with clusters of the flowers and big
bows. A very dainty toque also fash

what Prosperous Newspaper Can DC

A big, prosperous newspaper can
do practically everything for city's
advancement. Weak newspapers
can do nothing. The Los Angeles
Times, the Kansas City Star, the Se-
attic Times and the Indianapolis

porous, fighting newspapers, are en-
titled to more credit for the great
ness OF their cities than any other
ten forces which go to make up cit
les. Newspapers that are founded
on right lines and right hands should
gladly be given fair price for their
advertising, should be encouraged,
not discouraged. -Des Moines Capt.

.HoPpINav THE new REST CURE

t1OEIllNG 1E1h NEW ftEol NOn1
Hopping" is the exercise pre-
scribed by the anti-beauty doctor who
has no mercy on the lame or the
lazy But this hopping is not a
gymnastic exercise, as might be sup
posed, but working in the hop fields.
In England this newest form of rest
cure for wearied society persons is
carried on in a camp. Every day, in
a special Enclosure, these "hoppers
de luxe" as they are called, may be
seen at work, apparently enjoying it..
In fact, they assert that weeks
hopping" is far better and more
pleasant than rest in Marienbad.
The tents Of these well-to-do pickers
are extensively furnished, and easy
chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camp
ing outfits are among their hopping"
appliances. Their field Is rallied off
from the ordinary 'hoppers," and
they do not rise so early or work SO
late. OF course, their faces are the
hue OF Holsters, their hair wind blown
and tousled and their shoes a disgrace
to "a civilized community. oh, 1t is a
great thing to be hopper"
