MANY DAINTY AND INEXPENSIVE
NOVELTIES.
Many Are Cheap, But the Real Lover
Of Pretty Things May Decide
to Make Some for
Herself,

Seldom has there been such a va
ried array of dainty and inexpensive
ribbon novelties as are presented this
year.
In many cases it will not repay the
needle woman to make them, for they
are almost as cheap as she could
fashion them at home. On the other
hand, there are others which she de-
sires to make as examples of her
needlecraft and because she wants to
give them a more personal touch.
While varied styles of ribbon are
employed there is particular liking
for Dresden ribbons in rather large,
splashy florals, and with a colored
satin edge, which are very frequently
combined with plain color.
There is a certain delicacy about
Dresden florals in their misty hues
which instinctively appeal to ones
artistic sense, hence their extreme
vogue.

which can, be. put entirely out Of
proper working order by improperly
made shoes.
The racial characteristics Of the
foot are as pronounced as those of the
face. The Frenchwoman has an en-
tirely different shaped foot from that
of the flat-footed English woman. The
Swedish womaD's broad foot is a
marked contrast to the American
wofnan's foot, with its high instep.
Feet too small for the figure are
a deformity and woman who totters
around on number twos when she
ought to wear number fours, is de-
forming her feet. spelling her looks
and ,trifiing with her temper.

therefore, considerably below what IL
might be, had the animal been fed
longer. The shape of the rib shows
that 1t was not well sprung as com
pared with that of the Angus steer.
On the other hand the rib from tho
Angus steer Is of prime quality,
choicely finished. There is a large
amount of lean meat and at the same
time. sufficient quantity of fat, well
distributed so as to give cuts the high
quality. The flesh is we'll marbled and
the well sprung rib gives deep flesh
, near the central body line.
In the opinion of Farm and Homo
the dressing-out OF these carcasses
should be more carefully studied by
feeders. Far more of the success In
the profitable feeding OF steers de-
pends upon the selection OF the proper
ly formed anipal and the finishing
than have ever been supposed. How
ever careful the stockman is to use
the proper feeds, deficiencies in these
J two points cannot be made up.

To Make Shells.

These should be made of one sheet
each, rolled out in circular form and
spread over the bottom, sides and
edges of buttered dishes or patty pans,
and baked empty. They are best
when made of puff paste, though
they may be made OF ordinary paste
They should be rolled rather thick,
and need about an hours baking
The oven should be rather quick
and of even heat throughout so that
the paste will be even and not drawn
to one side or warped in cooking.
The shells should be baked OF a
light brown and when cool they must
be taken out of the dishes in which
they we're baked and put upon plates
to be filed with fruit or oysters.
Shells of pun paste rise best when
baked on fiat patty pans or tins. When
cool, pile the sweetmeats on them
in a heap. Baking them empty pre-
vents the paste from being moist at
the bottom.

BERGMAN GOES TO WORK AT HIS TRADE.

Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who served
13 years in prison in Pennsylvania for attempting
to kill Henry c. Frick in the strike in Homestead
in July, 1892, has opened job printing office al
30S East Twenty-seventh street.
Berkman, who learned the printers trade
before his Imprisonment, expects to get a good
share of the smaller printing for the radical so
cieties of the city. He will employ no help, as
the true anarchist does not believe, he says, in
the exploitation of another mans labor for his
own benefit. AS his business grows he will take
partners.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or i1nper-
feet hearing; and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infarned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

The evidence against Senator
Bailey, which has been submitted
10 the Legislature by Attorney
General Davidson, is said to have
astonished even many of Mr..
BaiIey's friends. Were it not for the
questionable means by which this
evidence was secured, it would
doubtless have the effect of alienat-

the fact that Gruet, as the con-
idential employee of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, spied, copied
private papers, and attempted to

she people of Texas slow to accept
testimony which is calculated to
destroy the reputation and blight
forever the life of one its highest
officers, when it comes altogether
from such an utterly contemplate
source. Texans look with horror
and disgust upon that Shiny reptile,
she spy, the blackmailer, the in
former, and they will require the
most absolute proof and substantial
zion of this evidence before ac-
cepting it. The creature that will

UsesOL oils.

Every person requires certain
amount of oil in his food in order
to be healthy.
Our ancestors lived, to large
extent. on olives. flberts, chestnuts
and other nuts containing oils.
The present generation uses too
little oil in its diet. This can be
taken in the shape of the pure ex-
pressed olive oil, as an emulsi6ed
salad dressing, or by eating nuts,
olives, etc. It may be matter of
choice how the system gets its oil,
but certain amount is essential to
the enjoyment of good health. The
good results of the habitual use of
the above articles in the diet are
soon shown, especially where per-
sons are inclined to colicky indi-
geStlon and constipation. DOCTORS
will do well to instruct their
patients to use pure olive oil in
moderate doses, also as a dressing
for salads. Various kinds of nuts
have a high dietetic value, because
of the oil which they contain, and
can be used to advantage. When
patients incline to consumption,
pure cod-liver oil ranks at the head
of oily substances, but the lesser
oils can also be taken in modera-
ton.
Nature furnishes US many cures
for the successful treatment of
diseases, if we will but study her
methods instead of following fads.
The result will be greater progress
in building up resistance and i'm
munity from disease.
