Its Oriain Unknown.

What is the origin of the COCK and
bull" story? 1t is the despair of all
those who seek to explain this fine
old crusted slang of long ago which
has managed to persist into present
speech, just as we may imagine our
present ''23" will puzzle later gen
GRAFTON. Brewer, in his Phrase and
Fable" explains it is corruption of
'concocted and bully story" Evil
IDENTIFY recognizing that this is scarce
ly satisfactory, he prosecuted his re-
searches into bygone religions, drag
ged up Nergal from the Phoenicians
in the representation of a rooster and
from the Egyptian Osiris, typified by
bull. From all of which disquisi-
tions it is as clear as may be that
no one really knows anything about
the story of a cock and bull. The
French have a precisely similar ex-
preston in "coq-a-lane, and equally
they do not know its origin.-New

WALKING GOWN

fashion, formed short sleeves be-
meath the fichu. The hair of the wear
er of this was tied with silver braid
tasseled with silver, and it is needless
to say that 1t was arranged in
group of curls.
Every head is running over with
curls" nowadays; and what differ.
ence there is in the quality of these
luXuries may be realized from the fact
that they range in price from a few
cents to dollars.
With the advance of spring the
smart tailor-made costume claims
more and more of our interest and at
tention. Many of the best designs are
made up with charming little boleros
and coates, heavily braided, in con
junction with plain skirts. The one
shown in our illustration is made of
a warm nut brown cloth of very fine
quality. The skirt fits closely round
the hips, its sole trimming being
stitched bands of the same cloth ar
ranged in long loops. which have
most graceful effect in giving length
to the wearer. The coatee has the
quaintest little tails at the back and
is cut up at the sides, showing the
waist-belt of black satin. The whole
surface of the coatee and sleeves is
thickly braided in fine black braid,
while broader bands of braid are
placed over the shoulders, and hold
the fullness of the sleeve with the
widening effect which is SO popular
for the moment. The coatee fastens
ingle-breasted, with small silver but
tons, and the tiny roll collar and
points turned back at the waist are of
pale turquoise blue velvet. which has
delightful effect on the brown cloth
and black braid. The smartness of
the costume is greatly enhanced by
the high stock of black satin to
match the waist-belt The hat is of
nut brown straw. both crown and
edge being bound with black satin,
while at the side wave three curly
quills of a pale turquoise tint, held
by brooch of pierced oxydized sill

THE HOT WATER BAG.
Simple Precautions That Will Pre-.
serve Its Usefulness.

Boiling water should never be put
into a rubber bag. Do not much more
than half fill the bag. then place it in
the lap before putting in the stopper,
and carefully press out the steam.
This makes the bag softer, as it is
relieved of the pressure the steam
makes if left in it.
After using the bag drain out the
water, let it hang bottom up for little
while, then take it down and with the
mouth blow little air into it, just
enough to keep the inside from com
ing together as it will often do If there
is no air in it, in which case the bag
is almost sure to be ruined in pulling
it apart.
If the bag ever should stick, put into
it some hot water with few drops OF
ammonia, let it remain few minutes,
then with thin, dull-edged stick, try
to separate the inside carefully.
Never fold a bag after it has once
been used. A flannel bag covering for
the rubber bag is very useful.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-04-13
Care of Shoes,

An excellent preservative of shoe
leather is vaseline. If small quantity
be applied to new shoes it will soften
the leather, and if enameled leather
will keep it soft much longer than ordi
nari1y and render it less liable to
crack.
If worn shoes are cleaned and black.
ened, and then rubbed with the vase
line, their appearance and wearing
qualities will be much improved.
Have box of oats handy and when
the shoes are taken off remove all
mud and dirt lace or button them.
fill half full with oats and stuff the
tops with crumpled paper.
When necessary to wear the shoes
empty them and they will be found to
have kept their shape, and will not be
drawn If they were In the least damp
when taken of.

CLEANING White silk.

10 wash white taffeta and other
white silks, proceed as follows:
Having made strong suds by boil
ing CASTLE soap in soft water, allow
1t to cool to blood heat or 100 de.
grces, and wash the silk in 1t by
-swishing it about and lightly press
ing out the water with the hands.
Dip the goods into suds of the same
kind; press the water out once more
and hang in an airy, sunless place
until almost dry, pulling out all
wrinkles from time to time. Roll the
silk carefully over board, and let it
lie wrapped in a towel until there is
only trace of moisture left.
Smooth it under a fine, white cloth
with a moderately warm iron. If a
clear tone of white Is desired, add
blreing to the water; if an ivory
shade is preferred, use the clear suds.

VALUE OF FRUIT SOUPS.
Food Value in Dainty Dishes That
May Be Served.

Mr.. Riley M. Fletcher Berry, in his
book, Fruit Recipes" doubleday.
Page & Coz, says that fruit soups are
usually served cold-where convent

china or glass bowls or bouillon cups.

fruit may be used which 1t not of it.
self substantial (though the opposite
may hold, as with prunes), but the
sago, arrowroot, or tapioca used for
thickening furnishes a certain amount
of heat-producing material. and where
wine is added this is increased, so it
may readily be understood why, when
used in quantity, such combinations
may approach, of themselves, substan-
tial meals, or why, even in small
measure, fruit soups, with but slight
additions of foods containing other
balancing elements. may arrive at the
right to be chief dish" of a luncheon
Or light supper.
AS a general rule. stewed fruit,
passed through a sieve, may have
added to it an equal quantity of wa
ter, and to each pint heaping tea
spoonful or scant dessert spoonful Of
sago, arrowroot (for which cornstarch
may be substituted) or tapioca. Some
instructors give the rule Of a level
tablespoonful of cornstarch to each
pint of clear, pressed fruit juice,
which, however, may be slightly dill
uted. The arrowroot or cornstarch is
a quicker process, and should be dis
solved till smooth in a little cold wa
ter, added when the fruit juice is at
boiling point, then cooked till clear;
meantime adding sugar, and later a
tablespoonful of lemon juice or wine If
sago or tapioca is used, it must be
cooked till thoroughly tender and
translucent. A soup made of raspber-
ries may serve as example of lighter
fruit soup. Several recipes for fruit
soups and much information valuable
to the housekeeper are also given.

Mice Got Drunk.

A correspondent writes: In Quetta
some years ago | had occasion to go
early one morning into miscel-
laneous store kept by Parsi, who
also kept liquor bar. AS l entered
the shop l noticed a mouse reeling
across the floor, and l remarked to
the shopkeeper that the mouse seem
ed to be hurt, but his reply astonished
me.
He said that that mouse and several
others that infested his shop were
confirmed drunkards. During the
night they regularly drank all the
liquor which remained in the glasses
which the soldiers had used in the
evenings for their drinks.-Madras
Times.

When a hole has been made in the

one on the wall, judicious use of
water coiors will work wonders. The
