DECORATIONS FOR THE TABLE.
Numerous Designs Shown in Silver,
Cut Glass and Brass.

Candlesticks for the table may be of
silver, cut glass, Bohemian glass or
brass. Here, again, the simpler de
signs are the more graceful. There
are some very beautiful shapes in the
Bohemian and cut glass. Cheaper
ones, still very good in shape, come in
glass.
Shades made of cut glass or silver
over Innings of different colors are
very pretty and also very practical,
since the color can be changed so
easily. The silk shades made of imita-
ton rose petals come in all colors, and
are not expensive. Those with the
bead fringe are very pretty, but are
apt 10 bend the candle with their
weight. Hand painted shades are
sometimes extremely attractive, but
frequently not in good taste. The en-
pire shapes are at present highest in
favor, but certainly are not as graceful
as the more fiaring shapes.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Sea Foam Fudge (Nut).

Put into saucepan three cupfuls OF
light brown sugar, a cupful of cold wa
ter and a tablespoonful of vinegar
Bring this to the boil gradually and
do not stir after it is once heated
Boil steadily, and when little of it
dropped into water forms a hard ball
take from the fire. Beat stiff the
whites of two eggs and when the sirup
has stopped bubbling pour in on these
and beat well. When it begins to
stiffen, flavor with one teaspoonful OF
vanilla and add a cupful of chopped
nut kernels-hickory, pecan or Eng.
lish walnuts. Drop on paper or turn
into a creased pan and mark off in
squares or riangles.-Delineato

New Colors,

The new colors are many. Apricot
is one of the leading tints for evening
wear. Lavender and some of the new
shades of blue are cunningly com
bined, but this has to be done warily.
Ask any Partisan the favorite colors
and she will prefix any mentioned with
the adjective old; it must be old rose,
old blue, old mauve.
There are many shades of blue
worn, the imperial, rather dull shade,
being especially liked. Russian blue
and paper blue are other tints in
favor Wistaria is another of the new
names for an old color, and caout-
chouc, or rubber color, a kind of gray
ish mauve, is much worn in every
thing-coats, hats, gowns, even in eve
ming gowns, the trimmings relieving
the somberness.

Baltimore Whip.

Crate the rind of two lemons and
squeeze out the juice; add two tea
spoonfuls of vanilla, one cup of pull
verified sugar, two whites of eggs, and
the yolks of four. Beat for ten min.
utes. Dissolve two boxes of gelatin in
a cup of warm water; when cool add
to other ingredients drop by drop, then
fold in the well-beaten whites of four
eggs, beating constantly. Turn the
mixture into glass dish, beating con-
stantly. Serve with orange juice
sweetened and maraschino syrup.

Southern Beaten Biscuit.

Sift together one quart flour, salt
spoonful salt, and a half teaspoonful
baking powder. Rub into the -four with
the tips of the fingers heaping table
spoonful lard, then add a cup of milk
or enough to make stiff dough, sitter
than for bread. Now if you follow the
old time method of beating, take a
biscuit beater or rolling pin and beat
the dough on block of hard wood I'M
til it blisters and pops. 1t takes a
strong arm and skillful one to beat
well. Cut into rounds about the size
of watch (medium size), prick with
fork, and bake about 80 minutes in
moderate oven. If you like short
cuts in your culinary methods instead
of beating try running the dough
through food chopper about six
times. This blisters the dough as
well as the traditional method of beat
ing and can be done in tenth of the
time

Belt Pins and Sashes.

Belt pins have taken the place of
the buckles, for they are more easily
adjusted. The long chains of beads
are replaced now by the ribbon baya-
deres, slender bits of satin or ribbon
knotted and tied with pendants of
gold, silver or semi-precious stones in
the form of tassels; some of them
have tiny buckles as well, and often
they match in color and method of
tying and making the sashes, which
are another novelty of the seasons
STYLES.
These sashes, in turn, are heavy
with gold and silver tassels, are mar
row, looped and twisted, with a ten
dency to come from unexpected hooks
of the gown, and with the filmy shoul-
der scarfs give the floating fluffy ef-
feet of femininity that is desirable this
year The bayaderes may be worn
with the tailor-made suits and relieve
the stiffness.

cAMPHoR AS A FAMILY FRIEND.
Valuable Medicine, and Useful In
Many Other Ways.

Few people realize the valuable ad-
junct camphor is in the household.
They use it as a moth preventive,
when they do not growl about the
cost and substitute tar ball, but be-
yond that give it little thought.
Yet camphor is valuable in many
ways as cleanser, and insect chaser
and as medicine
The darkest stain on mirror or win
dow pane can generally be routed with
flannel dipped in spirits of camphor.
Rub until dry.
Camphor, either in the lump or the
liquid form, is hated by mosquitoes
snd will keep them off when all other
methods fail.
AS medicine it is invaluable II
used judiciously. If six or ten drops
are taken on a lump of sugar when
sneezing starts, bad cold in the
head can often be checked. This dose
should not be repeated closer than an
hour apart.
1t is important in taking camphor in.
ternally to be sure that it agrees with
you; the mildest dose is harmful to
certain people and occasionally per.
son is found whom it throws into un.
consciousness.
If taken too steadily, even when
there seems to be no injurious effect,
it lowers the circulation and eventual.
ly weakens the heart
A few drops of liquid camphor will
often stop nausea, while setting fire
to the Jumps and inhaling the fumes
sometimes works a similar cure.
For cold sores a small phial of cam.
phor should be carried in the pocket
and rubbed on the lips at frequent
intervals. If taken in time it will
usually back the blisters.

JEWELLERS IN ARCTIC REGION.
Peculiar Views of Life Entertained by
Eskimo Men and Women.

These people of the white world,
these children of the snow and ice,
give themselves little concern regard
ing what is going on in worlds be-
yond their own. The climate in which
they live and the limitations of their
whole environment make it impossible,
writes J. l.. Harbour in Leslie's Week
ly, that there should be much change
In their own manner of life, and they
do not care for the changes that soap
and water might make in their domes-
tic life, while the women of the fam
lily are not anxious to adopt changes
in methods of cooking that might
make some of the dishes they pre-,
pare much cleaner and far less dead,
iy than they apear to be. But the
best-filled larder in the homes of the
most affluent of the Eskimos offers
little in the way of variety in food and
the question so vexing to the Ameri-
can housewife: What shall we Eave
for breakfast" or for dinner or sup
per, never troubles the Eskimo house
wife, since these meals may not vary
for months at a time and are pre-
pared in the primitive way in which
they were prepared by the Eskimos of
generations and generations ago.
The dress of the women and the men
is SO much alike that If an Eskimo
lady's husbands clothes happened to
be better than her own she might bor-
row them to wear to some Eskimo SO
ciety function without exciting any
comment as to her dress.
AS in some other lands, the man is
regarded as being vastly superior to
the woman, and the birth of a girl is
never regarded as a blessing. Indeed.
1t often happens that both the father
and mother resort to that unavailing
folly of tears and lamentations when
1t is announced that new conner is a
girl. A boy can become a great fish
erman or a great hunter, while a girl
of what use is she? A mere cum
berer of the earth, regardless of the
fact that she works as many hours a
day as, and even more than, a man
when she reaches the goal of her am
bltion and marries. Not to marry is
as sad a misfortune as may befall her,
and If ste is married and widowed she
makes all possible haste in securing a
second partner.

Mayonnaise Dressing.

Take the yolks of two eggs, one-halt
teaspoonful of salt, one-half an egg.
spoonful mustard, and a little white
pepper. Mix the yolks and mustard
together with fork, then add olive
oil very slowly, not more than a few
drops at a time. Keep stirring and
adding the oil until the mixture be-
comes thick and creamy. Add salt,
white pepper and malt and tarragon
vinegar. More malt than tarragon is
used. The vinegar will thin it to the
proper consistency. Serve with let
tuce, celery, or any kind of salad.

with a wide black soutache braid
around the neck and tops of the turned
back cuffs. Narrow braid is used on
the trig little inset vest and body of

of the most satisfactory models put
forth this season.

MADE WITH APPLES
THREE DISHES THAT ARE AL
WAYS sEASoNABLE.
Apple Ginger Not Hard to Prepare,
and Will Remain Good a Long
Tme-Recipe for Butter
and Jelly.

Apple Ginger-Two pounds of any
kind of hard apples, two pounds of LOAF
sugar one and one-half pints of water,
one ounce of tincture of ginger. Boil
the sugar and water until they form
rich sirup, adding the ginger when
it boils up. Pare, core and cut the
apples into pieces; dip them in cold
water to preserve the color, and boil
them in the sirup until transparent,
but be careful not to let them break.
Put the pieces of apple into jars,
pour over the sirup and carefully ex-
clude the air by well covering them.
1t will remain good for some time IL
kept in a dry place.
Apple Butter-Boil one barrel of
new cider down half, peel and core
three bushels of good cooking apples;
when the cider has boiled to half the
quantity add the apples and when soft
stir constantly for from eight to ten
hours. If done it will adhere to an in
verted plate. Put away in stone jars
(not earthenware) covering first with
writing paper cut to fit the jar, ara
press down closely upon the apple but
ter; cover the whole with thick brown
paper snugly tied down.
Apple Jelly-Apples, water; to every
pint of sirup allow three-quarters of
a pound of loaf sugar. Pare and cut
the apples into pieces, remove the
cores and put them in a preserving
pan with sufficient cold water to cover
them. Let them boil for an hour;
then drain the sirup from them
through hair sieve or jelly bag and
measure the Juice; to every pint allow
three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar
and boil these together for three-quar-
ters of an hour, skimming every par
ticle off same as it rises and keeping
the jelly well stirred, that it may not
burn. A little lemon rind may be
boiled with the apples and a small
quantity of strained lemon juice may
be put in the jelly just before it is
done, when the flavor is liked. 1t
should be stored away in small pots.

How to Keep Violets.

I always keep my violets for five
days. l wear them all day and when l
come into the house l sprinkle them
with very cold water, and allow the
water to run directly upon the stems
of the flowers. Then l saturate oiled
paper with cold water and wind this
around the stems and place a piece of
oiled paper, well sprinkled, over the
top of the violets and place them back
in the box. l generally keep the vio-
let's on the sill outside of my window.

Suffer Creek State Bank.

The depositors' committee of the
Suffer Greek State Bank have been
constantly working in systematic
way since the day of their organi-
zation.
Last Saturday night the committee
held a special meeting for the pur-
pose OF comforting with the president
of the suspended bank. Mr. Dennis
arrived Saturday night and met with
the committee. After hearing from
Mr. Dennis the committee on ways
and means was instructed to further
consider and take under advisement
certain matters of interest to the de-
positors. The special committee was
in session all Sunday morning. In
the afternoon they invited Mr. Dennis
before the committee and they re-
manned in session several hours.
While the committee will not make
a statement at this time, believing
the interests of the depositors can
be best served by such course, il
is generally understood that they
reached a satisfactory understanding
with the management OF the bank.
The committee feels indebted to
the public for their offers of assist
ance and kindly words of encourage
meut, and desires at this time to ex.
press its appreciation on behalf of all
the deposltors who are endeavoring tc
straighten out the affairs of the bank

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only din shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic Grains and weak
nesSeS which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of it's freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Boomerang Throwing.

a few of Jackson's citizens we're
treated to an exhibition last Tuesday
III the science of throwing the
boomerang The boomerang is a
weapon Of warfare as we'll as a play
thing used by the natives of Aus
tralia, It's peculiar feature is that it
returns to the thrower, IL an expert
TN the art. The expert in this case
was a white man named Christy, re-
Gently from Australia. The imple-
ment consists IF a piece of wood in
the shape of half square, very thin,
slightly rounded oil one side and con-
cave on the other. 1t is very light,
the two limbs are about foot in
length each. The throwing was out
at the ball ground of the athletic
club, beyond the Zeila, and crowd
went out to witness 1t. The boomer
ang was thrown IA distance of about
lOO yards and thereafter took a
circular course upward, and returned
to the vicinity of the thrower, max
ing a whistling sound while in
motion, due to the action of the wind
on small hole at the junction of
the two forks of the instrument
