they have a lovely influence and an

upon all lives around us, thus proving
the influence one really good woman

Two Salads.
hest Salad Ever. "

The "best Salad Ever"
Take slices of pineapple (the cam
ned preferred as being more tender)
hole in the center of each slice put
a ball OF neufchatel cheese and over
this some mayonnaise. This is a
most delicious salad ever eaten. and
at any rate it Is easily gotten up
when unexpected guests descend up
on the family and it sounds delicious.
The second best ever" is a sweet
bread salad made thus:
Boil the sweetbreads in beef stock
until tender. When cold dice them
and put with canned button mush-
rooms cut in small pieces. Mix with
these French peas (cooked) and

sistance, is concocted with three
eggs and tablespoon cream for
every person to be served. Beat
white and yolks and cream separ-
ately, mixing with the latter a half
teaspoon of cornstarch to assure

THE MOST NoURISHING FOOD.

New Ways of Making This Staple.


New Ways of Making This Staple.
Some OF the most distinguished diet
specialists in the world assert that cur
rant bread is the most nourshing
article Of diet that can be as regularly
eaten as white bread. White bread
made with a liberal quantity of dried
currants is already very popular. Here
are two new recipes for making cur
rant bread with whole wheat flour
and with potatoes:
Scald (do not boiD one and a half
cups sweet milk and one cup water

Making Indian Arrowheads.

Ernest Bauman, of Berlin. Kent
county, Mich. is said to have dis
covered how the Indians made arrow
heads. This is the story: Many a
time when his plow turned up an
arrowhead, or some of the chips
faxed off in the process OF manu-
facture, he would sit down beside The
plow and become absorbed In study
Of the problem. From the chips ho
learned more than from the heads
themselves. He learned which way
they came off the stone add then
began to experiment to find the
means employed to break them off.
He tried as a hammer every mater
ial he could think of. and finally sue
ceeded in chipping several fakes off
with piece of hard wood whitfield to
point. With this encouragement he
kept at 1t, and about a year ago sue
ceeded in producing a perfect arrow
head The news of the success of his
experiments came to David w. Ken
dali, of Grand Rapids, who is an
authority on geological and entomo-
logical subjects. He wrote the boy,
and Bauman called at Kendall's resi-
dence and announced he would make
an arrowhead for him then and
there. He produced the only tool
which, he said, was necessary, and
to Mr. Kendalls surprise, it was
nothing more than small bit Of
wood Whitfield to point. From an
other pocket he took a rough piece
of flint and set to work. With a
peculiar twisting motion of the wood

hing against the stone-he broke on

An exercise which Is beneficial for
strengthening the muscles of the

hips is to stand erect, with the hands
on the hips and with the fingers
pointing downward and forward.
Remain in this position and raise the
right knee to the chest ten times in
succession and then reverse, stand
ing on the right foot and raising the

downwards. Give a high, quick side
kick, bringing the foot back again

Fashions for the
Little Ones

~HE change in the fashion for
grown-ups naturally has its eff
feet on the apparel Of the chill
dren. for when mother appears
in a sheath-like princess gown. little
daughter cannot very well wear Kate
Greenaways. nor would the childish
fashion OF 1850 look appropriate with the
surroundings of the present day. But to
change these styles there must neces-
sarily be some adaptation or modifica-
ton. for even as the children cannot
wear crinoline. SO they cannot wear
dresses with long. flowing lines. For this
reason 1t takes an artist to plan chill
dren's clothes. and there is no style that
has been more becoming to them than
the empire.
Two charming childish garments are
shown today. The petticoat is made Just
like mothers. on the princess plan. with
only a little frill at the back to give
the skirt graceful fulness. 1t is made
hang softly from the neck in front. and
II IS an inexpensive little garment. The
material used is longcloth. and only
little bit OF valenciennes lace Is neces-
~ loved by little girls. Indeed, in these
days of sheer frocks. the unsightiy UNI
derWa1sts. with skirts buttoned to them,
are out OF the question:; for what could
look more unattractlve than to see huge
bone buttons showing through the
party frocks OF little daughters? Be-
sides being more serviceable. this petit
coat is really easier to make. for there
Is no lifting whatever. and It might
even be made in one piece. with a frili
added across the back
The little froCk is on the empire style
with very high waist line. while deep
tucks and three lines Of beading form

for the material Is too thin to hide UNI
slightly seams and petticoat bands.
To return to the dress. it is made
with deep yoke, the skirt being gath
cred on to it perfectly even all the way
round. It is a becoming little frock and
one that would admirably suit little
girl Of or 5 years when she goes to
her first party. for more dressy gar

 The case referred to in the above dispatch involves the right of the Ro- man Catholic Church to control the estates formerly owned by the Domin- lean and Franciscan orders in Porto Rico. The property embraces several convents and rural holdings and is vai- ued at about S1.000.0oo.
