I am a daily reader of your valuable
paper. VIII you please tell me as soon as
possible how to clean white linen shades
that have become grimy-looking from the
dust of the streets. They have been 10 all
summer. I expect TO begin my fall house
cleaning the early part of next week.
Thanking you in advance, I remain,
MRS. B. II.
Bran water is excellent for cleaning
white linen window shades. 1t is made by
boiling two quarts of wheat bran in six
gallons of water for one hour. OF course
you can reduce the measurement to suit
yourself. A pint of bran TO one and one
half gallons of water would be plenty. Let
it cool; strain. Lay the shades, one at a.
time, fiat and taut on a table, and apply
the bran water on both sides with a clean
sponge until the shades look clean. Then
iron, While damp.
This is an old-fsshioned method, and is
worth trying.
Will you kindly let daily reader have
a recipe for deviled hard crabs? Your
recipes are excellent, and / am FASTING
them all in a book.

highly scented flowers will be found the

FALL FEATHERS.

Very little is at present seen of the use
OF ostrich plumes in the decoration of the
pattern hats. Fancy feathers, for the time,
prevail. Much use has been made of the
plumase of the chicken cock, both of the
long eurving tail and of other available
feathers OF the fowl; plumages from tur-
keys, ducks, geese and the domestic pheas-
ant have all been brought under present
millinery demand, and plumage from exotic
pheasants, owls. the gourah. algret, caesar.
marabout and blondine feathers ali have

FOR THE YOUNG
SCHOOLGIRL.

Pretty materials with bands in lowered
effect along the selvage make attractive
dresses for school girls. One material is
a light gray checked with white. The Dor
der is about three inches wide with black
edges and a floral effect in pale green
leaves, white dots and pink rose buds.
These bands used for jumper suits are
lust as jaunty and pretty as can be.
This material can be purchased In voiles,
fannels, various kinds of dark tweed and
French ginghams.

FOR THE WEE LITTLE GIRL.

bellished this year by a coquettish ribbon
rosette of four loops and two ends, which
may be worn either on the top or on the
side of the head. To obtain this effect a
yard and a half of ribbon from three to
-four inches in width should beNhrst tied In
two loops, each three inches in length;
when these are secured, tie two more loops
of the same length. This leaves two ends.
Flatten the bows with the fingers. pull out
the loops and you have a mushroom
rosette suitable for any occasion. These
bows are daintiest in Dresden ribbon.

$50, 900 Reward Standing Offer.

Is set aside by the American Philan-
thropic Society, of Chicago, for any
man on the face of the earth that re-
discovers and re-traces- the lost art in
medicine which will dissolve and heal
structure. Until about 1891 there lived
in Providence, R. l., DR.. Graves, who
dissolved and healed structures with
LIQUID medicine. 1t had a mild taste
and looked like tea. 1t cured every
case of structure in about three weeks,
and this good physician seemingly left
no record of the prescription, as it is
supposed it was buried in the grave
with HIM.
In the year 1891 there was certain
l. T. Matthews, of Norwood, Ohio, who
had little cocoa butter cylinder which
cured structures in about four weeks.
and it may be possible to trace either
one or both of these remedies.
There are plenty of living witnesses
to the above statement. It is known
to be fact that there are about 80 per
cent of mankind suffering silently with
structure, and not one is cured; so for
humanity's sake we will give the above
reward to the person who can produce
the prescription of either DR.. Graves OF
l. T. Matthews.

HCaptaln In

By GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON

He was thus aOsJ,u,C.y a!one in the
world, and he was peEliess, too. as he
rode down the mountain sleeps. But
the impulse of work had come to him,
and he joyfully welcomed it as some
thing vastly better and worthier of his
strong young manhood than any brood
ing over misfortune could be Or any
leading Of the old aristocratic, half Idle
planter life, if that had been possible
In connection with this thought came
another. He had recently read Owen
Meredith's Lucille" and as he jour-
neyed he recalled the case there de-
scribed of the French nobleman who
for a time wasted his life and neglect
ed his splendid opportunities in brood
ing over the downfall of the Bourbon
dynasty and in an obstinate refusal to
reconcile himself to the new order Of
things. Duncan remembered how, aft
ter awhile, when the new France be-
came involved in the Crimean war, the
Frenchman saw a clearer light; how he
learned to feel that. under one regime
or another, it was still France that he
loved and to France that his best serv-
ice was due.
"That," thought Guilford Duncan,
was a new birth Of patriotism. Why
should not similar new birth come
to those Of us who have fought in the

might get money with which to buy

Pretty nearly all this cotton came to

there or for shipment to the east and

out again by train loads and steam

AS Guilford Duncan emerged from
the alleyway between the cotton bales
and reached the street at top of the
levee still burning fragment of the
fireworks fell upon bale of which the
bagging was badly torn, exposing the
lint cotton in way very tempting to
fire. With the instinct of the soldier
he instantly climbed to the top of the
pile, tore away the burning punches of
lint cotton and threw them to the
ground, thus preventing further harm.
