SILVER AND CRYSTAL WARE.
New Combination That Meets a Long
Established Demand.

To combine silver and crystal in
single pieces las long been the desire
of The woman who likes exquisite and
costly appointments for her table,
but the idea has never before been
a really practical one for anything
except epergnes. This season, how
ever, the combination has been effect
ed and it is possible now to supply
ones china and glass closet with
whole sets of the most beautiful crys-
tai mounted on silver.
The champagne glasses are par
tfcularly dainty and attractive. They
have a rock crystal bow showing
some effective design of flowers or
vines which can be adjusted into a
silver stem and base. This stem is
wrought Of the metal and is so pat
termed that at the top, where 1t joins
the crystal, there is a spring shaped
like a half opened flower, into the
heart of which the short crystal stem
slips, while the leaves of the flower
like spring close up around the glass.
n glass stem is quite short, not
over half an inch or an inch. In the
smaller glasses it is just long enough
to'allOw the silver clasp to slip up and
ut close to the bowl of the tumbler or
wine glass.
There is no difficulty whatever In
washing these glasses. All one has
to do is to loosen the crystal part and
clean that, and when the silver needs
rubbing up or polishing it is separated
from the crystal. The silver stems
are hand work of the most expensive
kind. They are daintily embossed,
carved or engraved, and usually they
have the fashionable gray tint that
SO much of the e table silver shows.
Silver and crystal fare comes in all
the wine sizes, liqueurs, some with
short stems and others with very tall,
slender ones, in grape fruit and sher-
bert glasses. Separate dishes for com
potes, jellies and nuts are treated
In the same way, combining silver and
cut crystal. There is also a fad for
lemon dishes and sauce dishes of crys- |
tai and silver. These have the bowl
part made Of glass and then there are
pierced silver rims that suggest the
style of silver in vogue about a cen
tury ago. The rims are easily remov-
ed for cleaning purposes. They afford
a certain protection to the edge of the
dish and give it a handsome finish.
The sauce dishes intended to hold
mayonnaise or creams are made on
the same pattern, only the crystal
part is very much deeper. The re-
movable rim is also correspondingly
heavy. Pierced silver is very fashion
able at present, and among the novel
ties in this work are large and ex-
quisitely wrought sandwich plates and
cake dishes. In solid silver these are
costly, on account of the delicacy Of
the work on them.

MYSTERY OF JOSS STICKS.
They are Used in All Countries Where
Buddha ls Worshiped.

In all countries where Buddhist wor-
ship is celebrated there is a great
consumption of Joss sticks" These
ceremonial candles are lighted on oc-
casions of ~festivity or mourning,
prayer or thanksgiving to divinities,
and the like. Joss sticks are at once
candles and incense, since like the
latter, they burn without apparent
flame. Their preparation is shrouded
in some mystery and the process is
still practically unknown, those who
carry it on being chosen from a spe-
cial class and kept in rigorous seclu-
sion.
A squared strip of bamboo, of vary
ing length and thickness, according
to the size of joss stick that is to be
made, is skillfully rolled on an in
clined surface, in a mixture of odorif-
erous powders a~gglutinated by resin,
made visctus by slight elevation of
temperature. One of the ends is left as
it is, to serve as a handle. In some
cases the bamboo is replaced with a
flexible rod which enables the joss
stick to be rolled in spiral form.
The composition of the odoriferous
powders varies with the country;
those used in Indo-China come gener-
ally from the province of Canton and
include IA different drugs, among
which may be named camphor, sandal
wood, aconite and Glove. Aconite plays
the part of a p~reservative and protects
the joss sticks well against the at
tacks of rats and mice.

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepare
ton and the Dose to Take-Over-
Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There Is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of a large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
t is claimed that there are few VIC
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
In this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisOns, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Representations
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol-
lowed. One great t~hOroughfa~c, of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
man.
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
and from it, under the breeding in
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
dispense themselves over the wide
spreading ~palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case Of some species, as a long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
birds is enormous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal-
low has n of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew %sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes su9h %ell-known
birds as the cuckoo. The corncrake,
the sedge warbler, the greenshank;
the moderate range-from 5000 to
5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles-such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black tern and in what
is called the restricted area-with a
mileage of 1000 miles downward
there are the warnings, several gulls
and the elder duck.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind Of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.

saying: "a short time ago ! got into

Hens Go Crazy for Want Of Rest.

As all old prospectors will tell the
three months OF almost continuous sun
light each summer In the Eorthland
has an odd effect on most newcomers.
As a matter OF tact a man accustomed
to seven hours sleep each night, finds
upon going to Alaska that be cannot
easily adjust himself to the altered
conditions. Most people ge' sleepy
when the dark comes, and do cot
think OF sleeping in daylight. AS a
resul, men go for day after day when
first in the north with little inclina-
tion to sleep. A man has to train
himself in Alaska and Yukon to 60 to
bed with the sun shining high in the
sky. Those who need darkness in Or
der to slumbei comfortably have to
pin blankets over the windows and go
to a great deal OF extra trouble to pro
duce 1t.
1t is said In the early days that the
chickens that we're first brought to
the north In the summertime went
crazy for want of rest. They waited
and waited for the sun to set in order
to know when to go to roost, and as
it continued to shine, the fowls went
without sleep until they we're exhaust
ed.
This story is hardly verified but IL
Is true that the continuous daylight
has a very odd effect on men and ami
mails alike, and 1t takes a few weeks
to get accustomed to 1t.

Peach Crossed with Apricot.

One OF the nswest and best fruits
that has been grated Is what the own
or, A. M. Gale, of Fruitvale district,
calls peach apricot, says the Yakima
Republic. The tree is only three
years old aud has bourne for two
years. The fruit is OF the most luci-
Gus kind with perfectly smooth skin,
having the color of both a peach and
an apricot,
The fruit is always large and rire in
proper season about the first of July.
Mr.. Gale did not pay any attention to
the tree when it was small and came
very near cutting it down, but after
1t yielded its first fruit he realized
the value and Immediately had 1t
copyrighted. This gives him complete
control OF that kind of fruit and no
one can raise the same kind of fruit
unless they buy the trees OF him. He
will have 5000 trees ON the market

for the one tree and the copyright but
refuses to take it, with the idea that
he can got more by selling the bud to

An Incident That illustrates the

An Incident That illustrates the
Shrswdness Of Ben Butler.
A number Of years ago General Ben
jamin Il. Butler was a guest of friends
In Brooklyn. During his visit he noted
the rule Of the street railway COM
panies compelling conductors to regis
ter fares ns soon as passengers entered
the cars and before the fares were ac-
tually collected. Two or three years
afterward he represented the plaintiff
IN damage suit for $4,000 In which q
Brooklyn street railway company was
the defendant. The principal witness
for the company was the conductor of
the car on which the accident occur
rcd, and his testimony was so strong
as to make things look bad for Buffers
client. But Butler recalled the unusual
rule he had remarked years before, and
on cross examination he said:
"Your company requires you to ring
up fares as soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn't it?"
Yes"
Suppose a passenger boards your
car and then finds he Is on the wrong
line, Do you state that fact to your
superiors, and do they make allowance
on your returns for that fare?'
"No. I lose the nickel"
"Do you mean to say the company
won't take your word for centsT
mo, they won't"
"Yet," said the shrewd veteran, turn
Ing to the jury, "the company asks you
to take this conductors word for $15,'
