A Dainty Whim.

For a whim of daintiness, a much-be- loved queen from over the waters Is responsible having set the rose fashion, :" choosing this Queen of Flowers" as her favorte. The popular scent altar of roses Is once more to the fore on this &C., count. Hundreds of girls in Paris are now making up silken roses, which will after wards be perfumed and worn by tbe wom- an of fashion.
 One kind of rose almost approaches silver in tone, and is made of sheeny pale pink satin, stuffed in its heart with a soft sachet powder.
 Wreaths of white roses are worn by the debutante, consisting of dozen little button roses wired together and made of chiffon or silk. These are only scented by lying in a box in which a sachet has been placed.
 The scented pink rose is pinned at the side of the throat. It should nestle In a bed of silver tulle or of silver chiffon and is sprinkled with real altar on it's petals.

an suggested a novelty in the way of a dumping wagon, Georgia woman offac blow and an Ohio woman a car coupler. A Philadelphia woman came forward with a life raft and Pittsburg woman with a car wheel. Feminine ideas had begun to expand and presently Chicago woman took out a patent on a process for con- eentrating ores. and another from Buff falo produced a machine for manufac- turing ozone.
 Rene Bache, writing in a recent publica- tion, says:
 Let it not be said that women do not have practical ideas They have proved it by their inventions. Who was it who first hit upon the notion of syllable types types, that is to say which represent syllables for printing purposes, instead of letters? Inquire at the patent office and you will find that it was a woman. Who originated the typewriter for the blind, a machine which has proved a god send to the afflicted? A woman. Who patented a slate for the blind, on which they could write without seeing? Again a woman.

Plain Features and the
 Coiffure.

Do you know that there is nothing which makes or mars woman so per- eeptlbly as the manner in which she arranges her coiffure? Of course the nat ural beauty may take liberties with her self in this way, but woe unto the wom- an with plain features! Her head should be a study-and let it be emphasized that new modes in hair dressing should not be followed if not becoming.
 In considering the coiffure, not only the shape of the face should be thought of, but the color of the hair as we'll An expert New York hair dresser says, that certain colors look well in certain modes. Red hair for example. never looks well drawn straight back from the face. All hair having a reddish tinge, as well as de- cidedly red hair, should be waved and dressed very full, like an aureole setting for the face.
 With black hair, just the reverse is the case. A plain, simple coiffure should be used. It Is prettiest unwaved, parted and rolled back upon the side, after the fashion of 1860.
 Blonde hair should be treated in a more careless way-loose, fluffy, and plenty of escaping ringlets. If you haven't got the ringlets buy them There is no harm in a false braid, switch, pompadour or curls They are very necessary to the toilet of every woman who considers the power of her own beauty, as every woman should.
 Most hair dressing makes the wearer look old, and the reason for this is that it Is not done correctly, with any thought of variety, the contour of one's individ- ual face or the color of the hair.
 But first of all get into the habit of caring for the hair systematically and consistently, just as you care for your complexion, for the hair is "woman's crowning glory" and, with poor, thin hair, woman Is ruined from the stand point of beauty.

Making Perfect Butter.


 The art of making good butter is one scarcely ever acquired by the amateur. Butter may be made from either sweet or ripened cream.
 While the former has delicate flavor, it lacks the aroma of butter made from soured cream.
 The latter Is ready for churning as soon as 1t gets thick and slightly sour. A housekeeper should have a dairy ther- mometer to assist her if she wishes per- feet butter.
 The best temperature at which to churn is from 5S to 60 degrees. This is deter mined by suspending the thermometer in the cream.
 If too cold, place the jar containing the cream in a pan of hot water and stir until the thermometer goes up over 58, says Mrs Telford. In summer cold water is used to lower the temperature if the cream is too warm
 When making butter in summer the churn should be rinsed with cold water. The beating movement should be regular and not too rapid.
 As soon as the butter comes, which will probably be in 10 or 15 minutes, draw 1t off and pour cold water over it in the bowl. s
 The majority of people now prefer sweet unsalteu butter, ana the hotels nave to keep 1t for patrons with these palates, but if your family does not like this sweet butter, then add teaspoonful of salt to each quart of cold water as 1t Is poured over.
 When this is done, put the butter in bowl, work 1t a little with wooden pad dles and set away, covered with a linen cloth, for two or three hours.
 Where salt Is used, tablespoonful may be worked into each pound of butter If possible the family should acquire the taste of unsalted butter. It is better for them.
 Shape the butter in any form preferred and place on the ice until ready to serve.

LsSnes Address 70 Voters
 Against 2He Nel1 COpzty

W. H. Kettig chairman of the Jefferson county campaign committee, has issued the following address:
 To the Voters of the State of Alabama:
 The present state constitution was care- fully drawn by Alabamas most represen- tative men. It should not be- amended hastily or unnecessarily. No necessity ex- ists for the adoption of the new county amendment. The present constitution au- thorizes the legislature to create a new county whenever in their opinion the needs of any locality require a new coun- ty seat. The legislature of the state can be relied upon to create a new county whenever there is a genuine demand for same, and in creating a new county the legislature will consult the wishes of all interested citizens in mapping the boun- daries of such new county The people behind the new county amendment want new counties which they have not been able to convince the legislature should be created. Under the proposed amend ment if adopted new county can be cre- ated anywhere in the state by taking ter ritory away from existing counties pro- vided the new county has a certain popu- lation and taxable value and 500 square miles of territory, and the old counties Nare not reduced below 800 square miles, If the proposed amendment is adopted, 300 voters desiring to form a new county can call an election and designate the boundaries of the proposed new county to suit themselves and only the voters living in the territory proposed to be formed into the new county have a right to vote on the proposition. The other voters of the existing counties from which the new county is to be formed have no right to vote at such election. This amendment if adopted, will produce bitter contests all over the state for the creation of new counties. Whenever and wherever disap- pointed officeseekers want to creat more officers or ambitious towns want booms there will be new county elections. Any county having more than 800 square miles can be robbed of it's territory to help create a new county. Four-fifths of the counties in the state have more than 600 square miles. We call your attention to the following counties. whose area is such that they will sooner or later be affected by the new county amendments

Fur Fashions.

The newest fur coats are trimmed with broad silk braid in elaborate patterns and braided buttons to match, says a well known fashion authority
 It Is interesting to note that the long fur coats are following the directoire style of cloth suits, with the short waised empire effect and scant lines to the coat skirt. The sleeves, however, are rather fuller than in the tailor suits so that they may slip easily over the dress sleeve.
 The fad for plaitings is carried out even in the furs-the long coats having stiff plaitings of silk to match the fur at the throat and cuffs; and the stoles. which, by the way, fit about the should CTS like weighted shawl and the muffs have soft chiffon plaitings on their un- der edge.
 Large buttons as in everything else are used to great extent on the fur coats. These are of jet or cut steel and the very smartest for mink or any brown fur are of tortoise shell.

Women as Inventors.

Do you know that Connecticut is the banner" state of the union when 1t comes to inventions? In proportion to Its popula- ton there are more inventions within it's bounds than any other state. The first woman to whom patent was granted in this country was from Connecticut, and her name was Mary Kies.
 Her idea dated 1809) was for weaving straw with silk thread. The gentler sex had not become creative at that time, and six years elapsed before the sec- ond patent was issued to one of it's mem- bers, named Mary Brush, for an im- provement in corsets.
 Nearly all of the early patents grant ed to women were for improvements in articles of clothing or domestic useful ness, such as cooking utensils, picture frames etc.i but suddenly a Philadelphia woman started the ball rolling in a new direction by inventing beehive. An other. from the same city, popped up with a railway car heater. A California wom-

Cold macaroni seemed an impossible leftover until some one hit on the plan of combining 1t with celery and sliced olives in a salad
 The sauce was washed from the maca- roni and cut as well as the other two ingredients, into thin slices, which was al- lowed to macerate for half an hour in French dressing seasoned with onions.
 The salad was then served on lettuce leaves and covered with mayonnaise. If there happened to be any nuts in the house they were chopped and added to the salad

Little Things.

 Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.
