Stuffed Cucunbers.

A delicious recipe for preparing stuffed cucumbers is given by an authority on cooking as follows:
 Pare four large cucumbers and cut off the small ends. With the handle of tea spoon remove the seeds and fill the cavity with the following: Place on the fire in a suitable saucepan two tablespoonfuls of finely minced onion and tablespoonful of butter. Cook it without letting it get any color, and then add half cupful of milk, a beaten egg, a cupful of fine white bread crumbs, few grains of pepper, salt and grated nutmeg and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly, and use it to fill the cucumbers as directed.
 In small baking dish put medium sized onion in slices, a bay-leaf, two cloves, a few grains each of pepper and salt, six pepper-corns and a small sliced carrot. On this bed of vegetables place the prepared cucumbers; add cupful of water and a tablespoonful of butter. Put them in the oven and cook them slowly 10 minutes. Then transfer the cucumbers to dish and keep them hot. Put the contents of the baking dish into small saucepan and add to it cupf1 of milk and let it boil. Thicken it with table spoonful of flour. mixed smooth with lit- tie cold water, and strain.

To be strictly Fin de Steele one must know the art of fainting. To do It properly requires much device. or course. at glance the fainting figure lying prone but always graceful, must suggest a frou-frou of daintily hand embroidered petticoats, silk stockings and Louis heels. Consequently one must make one's toilette for fainting pur- poses, else one must not faint AS a matter of fact, fashions move in circles, and this particularly feminine speciality has come into vogue recently after many years of innocuous desuetude. The sight of a mouse now turns fe- mininity into fainting it; cut hurt, a shocking bit of scandal, any undue excitement is an excuse for a few minutes state of suspended an1ma- tion. To the heroine of the popular novel probably much of the revival of the fainting habit Is due, for no one is such an adept at swooning as she.
 A parting glance from her brave Lancelot, signing for uneonquered countries a whisper o, danger, a thought of separation is provocative of the popular fainting spell and writers devote pages to such episodes.
 Ones maid, equipped with smelling salts and dainty perfumed handker- chiefs. should always be at hand to do the honors on such occasons.
 In New York ladies are cautioned that if they can restrain themselves from swooning until they reach the Jardin de Paris two young women physicians are in attendance to minister to their ills. This idea is direct from the Paris ian capital.
 It was supposed some years back that this foolish fashion would be abol- ished after athletics ard ont-of door exercise made up such an adjunct in the feminine world. Rowing, riding horseback, playing tenfis, motoring, wearing sensible clothes and eating sensible food would appear to keep a woman up to normal condition, and bloodless and emaciated women were the only supposed victims of the swoon- practical, all these wh desome, good ideas in regard to health ind dress, and so with not being properly nourished or comfortably gowned, one must pay the penalty. and fainting gappears to be named as the result.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
New York Is Full of Buyers From the
 South and West.

New York, August 1S.-The city Is ill., ing up with southern and western buyers. All of the hotels were taxed .last night to their capacity and several had to turn guests away. This is the season for the retail houses throughout the country to buy their fall and winter stocks. The vanguard of the buyers reached the city late Saturday afternoon and a steady stream has been coming in ever since
 It was estimated that no less than 800 buyers came in yesterday to say nothing of those who reached the city Saturday night and Sunday.
 A canvass of the hotel registers last night showed that the territory covered by the buyers already had extended as far west as Denver and as far south as New Orleans and Galveston. They rep resent every class of retail trade. and usually the largest houses in their lines, many of which supply the smaller houses in their own vicinity.

ages to run the gauntlet unscathed.
 It seems that the Canadian law is very liberal in appointing commissioners to is- marriage licenses, and every enter prising jewelry firm avails itself of this opportunity to have one of its members appointed commissioner.
 They first get you interested in a li- cense and sell you one, then an engage ment ring, engraved invitations, and all the other little necessaries that go to make up a complete wedding ceremony. The Canadian government realizes that marriages are good things for the coun- try, and through it's numerous comms- sioners pushes along the custom as wig orously as possible.
 
 The Canadian in this district have a peculiar custom as regards their colleges and universities. Instead of scattering them broadcast over the province, they are all located in Winnipeg-the Church of England college. known as St. John {; the Roman Catholic college the Presby- terian college and the Methodist college
 Each of these colleges is located in 2 different part of the town, each has it's own faculty, and enthusiastically, at least they are entirely Independent of each other All these colleges, though, are combined in a legal way, and go to make up the University of Manitoba, and re- ceive direct financial assistance from the province. Each college looks after its own undergraduates until they get their bachelor of arts degree, but the post graduate or professional courses are all combined in the university.
 They claim under this system that a boy can get his education under the auspices of the religious denomination of his choice, and at the same time get the benefits of the education which the province or state offers all its youth through it's university.
 Here in Winnipeg is seen one of the great department stores of the Hudson's s Bay company-the company we studied in our geograpiies and histories as the original explorers and developers of all this great northern country.
 This company was chartered hundred or two years ago by the British crown, and the. early history of Canada is all most a record of this company's achieve ments.
 to exchange beads and trinkets to the Indians for furs and other products of the north and instead of passing out of existence as conditions changed and new methods were inaugurated, it has met all these changes and adapted itself to them and still holds it's position at the head of all the mercantile and trading nsti- tutions of Canada. Besides its depart ment stores in all the large cities. it has its trading posts and stations far up along the Hudson Bay and into the Arctic circle.

BH mingham T7abeler
 Writes From Winnipeg

Winnipeg, Canada, August 1S.-(Special.) The citizens of this town don't lose much time telling you that they are the friends of the farmers
 They realize that they are in the middle of the greatest wheat district on earth an almost unbroken wheat field 30 by 300 miles in size, or five times larger than the state of Alabama, and also realize the city has obtained its rapid growth to 125,O0O inhabitants through the success of the farmers about them; and they act ac- cordingly.
 The Winnipegians say the Manitoba grain law, passed by the Canadian parlia- ment in 1900, is the greatest piece of leg islation ever devised for the direct bene- fit of the farmer, as it solves the ware- house problem-one that has so long wor- red the farmers of Alabama and other southern states.
 Without going into all the details their plan is this: When the wheat crop is first harvested, the farmer knows the price is generally at its lowest. He, therefore, puts his wheat in a storage warehouse or elevator, of which there are hundreds, all licensed to do busi- ness by the government
 The elevator company gives the farmer a receipt for this wheat showing quantity and quality, and the government writes its guarantee on this receipt that the wheat specified will be returned to the owner by the elevator or warehouse com- pany when the farmer demands it. On the strength of the government guar antee the farmer can borrow money on his certificate, not only from his local banker, but from outside banks, all at the lowest rates of interest.
 Before an elevator can do business though, it must furnish the government with a large bond made by one of the big guarantee or surety companies to protect the government from any loss it may sustain by endorsing the elevator receipts.
 This plan has been in operation for eight years in the Manitoba district, and no farmer has ever lost anything by stor- ing his wheat. The losses sustained by the government and the guarantee com- panies are, said to be very slight.
 Many systems have been tried in the south for guaranteeing warehouse re- ceipts for cotton, but none of them have been successful as they lack the govern ment supervision and guarantee, which is furnished under the Canadian system.

If you have not a shelf there handy Put in as many hooks as it will conveniently hold. You will find this just the place for the iron holder, the as- bestos mats, the iron covers for the gas burners and many other things which, when needed, usually involve steps across the kitchen.

The Beauty Doctor.

Now comes new idea from the beauty doctor in regard to wrinkles. The meth cd which these dictators of the beautiful are using to eliminate these disagreeable defects, is nothing short of awful The idea advocated is to iron the wrinkles out. The process requires a famed cloth sat- urated with hot water, and applied to the wrinkled skin and then hot iron is ap- piled to the cloth, pressing firmly but surely time and time again till all trace of the wrinkle is gone. This is heroic treatment, and one which vanity fair will probably see little of, for most women would prefer the dishguring wrinkles rather than the torture of getting rid of them.

Women Invading
 American Politics.

Although in the soutf we see per- haps less of the desire to ningle in politi- cal matters, by women han elsewhere, still the subject is very widely discussed, and there is no doubt but that the American women are awakening to the fact that their English listers are more identified with such matt.rs than they.
 Mir Sydney Brooks n the London Chronicle writes a most exhaustive dis sertation along these liies. The article while too lengthy for publication in full, will be of interest in par. MT. Brooks among other things says:
 This years presidential election in America is going to be mtrked by the growing invasion of the fiad of politics by American women, due to the reflex action of British influence md example.
 There has been visible during the last IS months a distinct revival of political ambition among American women. They are becoming conscious that they are far behind their English sisters in their in- fluence upon public life. Whether an ex- tension of the suffrage will give them that influence, I do not know. In Eng land the power of women h politics is mainly a social and personal power of a kind that the grant of the suffrage will neither add to nor detract from. In America, where politics is not a profess sion, but a trade, with an exceedingly complex organization, there is little scope for the arts of the salon. Women, ] imagine, will always be potent force in English politics, with or without the suffrage. In America very much doubt whether the extension of the suffrage would break down single one of the per- manent barriers that stand between wom- en and political power.
 It goes very much against the grain Of American pride to haze to admit that women play larger Iart in the public life of England than of he United States. Yet the fact is inconteaable There are, indeed, four somewhat radimentary states in the west where wom.n are allowed to vote, where they take the stump and where they even run for office. One of the most exciting and passionate cam- paigns that was ever fought out in Amer lea was that in which Mrs. Mary Eliza beth Lease-the author of the immortal admonition, Kansas Lad better stop
