A Bakers Paradise.

London is a bakers paradise. Bread
making seems to be a lost art with the
housekeepers of the metropolis. It
would be interesting to know the num-
Der Of families that make their own
bread. Yeast in any form is almost
unknown. However, the baker al
ways is to be depended upon, and the
variety of bread from the ugly looking
round workman's loaf to the dainty
French roll is almost unlimited. But
the way it is carted round the streets
would shock a good housewife. Almost
"any old thing" in the shape Of a We
hicle answers the purpose of convey
ing 1t from bakery to customer. Push
carts, coster wagons, tricycles, etc, are
called into service, and the loaves are
piled up in the open like so much cord
wood and carried Rugged in the arms of
the dirt begrimed driver to the kitchen.
Many times a loaf falls to the greasy,
muddy street, to be picked up and
polished on the sleeve of the driver.

BRIDAL COUPLES PROTECTED.
Pennsylvania Company Has Passed Law
That the Throwing of Rice and
Old Shoes WIN BE stopped
at Station.

If some Of your friends have married
and are going on a bridal trip and you
are filled with an insane desire to hurI
rice and old shoes at them, you must
get in your monkey antics before the
happy couple reach the Panhandle
station, provided, of course, their trip
takes them over that road. An order
lately promulgated by the Pennsylvania
cuts out the rice ana old shoe acces-
sories to bridal tour, and the com
pany's employees are instructed to see
that the rule is rigidly enforced on
railroad premises.
At one Of the roads stations in Della
ware some cheerful idiot among the
friends CD hurled a No. 10 shoe at a
departing bridal couple striking the
groom behind the ear and rendering
him unconscious. The result was he
spent the honeymoon in a hospital and
on his recovery sued the company for
damages Hence the order.

drapery, to give variety, may be cut
square or with deep points, four or five,
according to the size of the frames, or
in narrow scallops that give breadth
to the shade. A gimp is being much
used this year. A narrow piece Of it in
gilt or silver at the bottom makes a
pretty finish to cover the heading of
the fringe. For these shades narrow
bead fringe can be bought by the yard
instead of on hoops.
While the trimming at the bottom Is
quite simple, the upper or chimney eff
feet is often elaborate on some Of the
smartest shades, being fashioned into
the appearance of a crown, either elab-
orately shirred or shocked.
Where this top is joined to the lower
portion a broad piece of gimp or a rib
bon Is used to cover the stitches and to
lend a finished appearance to the
shade.
To make a candle shade first bind the
wire frame top and bottom with mar
row strip of soft cotton cloth to give
something to sew to. Then for the
lining take a strip the depth Of the
frame, pin it to the bottom, then gore
it at the ribs by pinning to fit. Re
move the silk, sew up the cores and
trim and press the seams open. Then
sew into place on the frame, turning
the seams toward the outside Of the
frame so that when covered they will
not show. Next sew the material
straight about the lower edge or plat
it plainly in fine plaits if more fullness
is desired Draw the material up to
the top of the frame and first faster
with pins if the silk or cretonne is
plated so as to get the folds exact, or
in the case of shirring, the silk should
first be gathered, then the fullness
placed before the final sewing.
If the shades are made in scallops
each piece, both the lining and outside
must be fitted in place.

GET COVETED EXTENSION.

The citizens of West Hammond, on
the south side. have at last been vic
torious in securing the extension of
the new sewer system. At meet
ing of the board of local improvements
Monday the matter came UP and it was
decided to grant the extension, as it
was plain to be seen that it was an
urgent necessity. Water is standing
in several places, which later on might
cause fever If allowed to remain The
extension of the sewer will include
nearly 5000 feet and will cost ap-
proximately $4,000.

SUES FOR INSURANCE.

Blanch Smith has filed a complaint
against the Home Circle, an eastern
insurance order, in which she alleges
that she had insured the life of Nancy
A. Smith for $1,000 and upon her death
had been refused payment the amount
due her. She said at the time of Nancy
Smiths death all of the dues had been
paid to date but that the Home Circle
had refused to pay the insurance due.
The firm Of Knots & Bomberger have
the case and will make an attempt to
recover the amount she claims due.

RENDERS LARD; HOUSE BURNS

While Mrs. Hoosengate of Columbia
avenue was rendering lard, she left
the house for a few minutes, leaving
the lard on the stove. When she re
turned she found the kitchen full of
flames as a result Of the lard's boiling
over and catching fire.
It was impossible to put out the fire
with the means that were at hand, and
before the fire department arrived the
building was destroyed. Some of the
furniture in the front rooms was saved
but that was all.

NEW CANDLE SHADE.

shnvvI.IiIe Effects the Latest Fad
From Paris.
The smartest shades imported from
France are shawl-like in eIIrcr, and in
stead of the material being fitted to
every rod in the frame a circular piece
Of the material, with the center cut out
for the chimney, is made to fit the
dome shaped wires. 1t then falls in
graceful folds, the weight Of the fringe
holding it down in place.
The shawl effects in soft pinks, light
blues, deep reds or vivid orange shades
of silk are stunning for use on q dining
room table or in a parlor or hall. The

Hints For the Housewife.

To remove the smell Of onions or fish
from the frying pan put little vine
gar IN 1t directly after using and put
over the fire a few minutes. Then wash
again in soapy water.
For washing bottles or vinegar cruets
save eggshells in a paper bag; crush
them fine, put in the cruets with warm,
soapy water and shake well. This will
clean and not scratch the finest glass.
Rubber bands are most useful for

the bands round your arms over the

LOSE YOUR HAMMER.

Don't be a Knocker. Bury your
hammer so deep that nothing but
the trumpet of the angel Gabriel
will ever disturb its rest. If you
ever see or hear of anything that is
wrong in the city instead of going
to every new conner and filling his
ears with your tale of woe, go to
the commercial club, the city coun-
Gil or business mems association,
when we get one, and make your
spiel. 1t does 10 good to stand on
the street corners and howl till they
can hear you four blocks trying to
advertise the fact that the town is
going to Davy Jones sixty seconds
a minute, for it isn't. II is going
the other way % hours a day, and
If you don't hang on with your
teeth you're going TO get left.
There is not better prospect for a
city of half million inhabitants in
the state of Oregon or any other
state. And this is not hot air. 1t
is plain, cold facts. There is not a
finer site for such a city, there is
10 better harbor on the Pacific
coast, with a water front on three
sides of it, with all the immense
products of the Northwest contrib
utory 10 its growth aud greatness,
all it needs is men with push and
energy TO shove a good thing along
We have heard one or two of our
good friends, we say good friends,
because we like them and they are
good fellows, but they have got off
on the wrong foot when they pipe
up, 1--WE must annex ourselves 10
Portland. " II is the worst folly
ever uttered by a sensible, hard
headed business man, and makes
Us think we have misjudgcd such a
one when we have estimated him
as that kind of man. Who wants
TO be the tail TO q dog anyway ?
II would DC better 10 pay twice as
much for our facilities aud conven.
fences and have the control uf them
ourselves than TO have q city ten
miles away debating what We shall
have here, where wh II complaint
goes in the complainer will be- dead
and forgotten before action can be
had on the complaint. Don't let
any more Of Us get the mistaken
idea that annexation To Portland is
a cure for om ills. Read the pco.
pies Press, edited by one of the
brightest and best writers IN the
state While YOU are reading have
the gumption 10 read between the
lines and see II you want to be up
against the same things that Our
good brother is fighting against
there. Know, too, that II we are
to Portland, that is Just
what we will have. Then take off
your coat, get your American back
mp, spit OH your hands aud take u
fresh hold. Swear (if YOU are
swearing man, aud II not. affirm
py the great American eagle that
Sc are going To- be ST. JOHNS, |

augh to hear man talk of annex
llion To Portland as matter OF |
economy and convenience.
