PICTURES FOR DINING ROOM.
Floral Subjects and Dainty, Refreshing
Scenes Most Appropriate.

Dining room pictures are limited as
to subject if one is to choose accord
ing to the accepted standards. The
modern man and woman of good taste
are fastidious about the company they
dine with, and they prefer no pictures
at all to inappropriate ones. Floral
subjects are suited to dining room
walls and dainty, refreshing scenes
are appropriate. Figures fit better
into other rooms.
French prints in delicate colorings
are favorite pictures for bedrooms.
They are dainty in subject and tone
and look we'll in white, gold, pale
gray or any light-tinted frame. For
some time now women have been buy
ing up French prints at auctions and
in the shops to be later hung in their
country homes. The prints are not eX-
pensive and they are perfect for
rooms belonging to the sex they usu-
ally portray. Etchings and photo
gravures are the next choice for bed
room walls. The list of subjects in
this line is so varied and so long that
all tastes and fancies can be suited.
The average hall is too small to
suggest a background for pictures, yet
where there is space pictures can be
hung on the slanting walls with a
charming effect. Colored or brown
prints of uniform size and set in a
uniform molding may be arranged in
an ascending line parallel with the
stairway. Often pictures are hung in
this way so close together that the
edges almost touch. Hunting scenes
and quaint old prints are suited to
hall walls. The walls opposite the
stairs may be decorated with few
larger pictures of the same style and
framed in the same way as the small
er ones. A higgledy-piggledy arrange
ment is never in good taste in any
room. There must be a recognized
regularity about the hanging If the
result is to be at all satisfactory.
Photographs are now hung only in
the bedroom or the boudoir. A group
Of ones relatives and close friends
may occupy a large space on one
wall. There may be dozen or more
single pictures framed in small ovals,
circles, squares and grouped together
artistically French frames, showing
an elaborate festooning in gold across
the top of the picture, are exquisite
for photographs. These may be hung
separately to give the effect of medal
lions against the delicate wall COW

Proper Care of the Face,

According to writer in Harper's
Bazaar, the face ought to be washed
with hot water and soap twice a day;
for the skin is one of the chief 'bounc-
ers" of the anatomy. 1t is constantly
excreting "carbonic acid, perspiration,
salts, acids, bile, pigment, even brok-
en- down corpuscles." That is, it ex-
cretes them if the pores are kept
open; if they are not it gets clogged
both with secretions from the inside
s5d with the dust and dirt of the at
mosrhere.
Before going to bed the face must
be thoroughly washed with hot water
and pure soap-and only individual eX-
pertinent will determine what soap is
best suited for the individual skin.
Most skins seem to like good olive
oil soap best. The water should be
softened with a little borax, or with
almond meal, if that agrees with the
skin.

80 BUSHELS OF OATS
TO THE ACRE.
WHAT Mr.. ALTENBRUNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA,

Writing from Regina, Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr. A Kalten-
Drummer writes:-
Some years ago took up a home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek; is a
low, level and heavy land We put
in 20 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
Is bushels to the acre. All the wheat
we harvested this year is No. 1 Hard.
That means the best wheat that can
be raised on the earth. We did not
sell any wheat yet as we intend to
keep one part for our own seed, and
sell the other part to people who want
first class seed, for there is no doubt
If you SOW good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
5000 bushels of first class oats out of
100 acres. so acres has been fall
blowing, which yielded 80 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 80 bushels to the acre. These
cats are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions .
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta may be had on appli-
cation to any Canadian Government
Agent, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere. He will give you informa-
ton as to best route and what it will
cost you to reach these lands for pur-
poses of inspection.

EMBROIDERY FOR THE DRESS.
Wearer Now Puts the Finishing
Touches on Costume.

Hand embroidery is quite the most
desirable trimming one may have, no
matter what the costume may be,
and one of the very latest ideas is to
have the dress made up by the dress
maker, and when it is finished the
wearer puts in her idle moments dec
Grating it in plain but very conspicu-
Gus stitches. 1t was thus that an eton
dress was made, the under-blouse of
filet net. The jacket effect of Copen-
hagen blue pongee was embroidered
in big flowers, one overlapping the
other, so that it gave the effect of a
huge and artistic bouquet and also a
great deal of embroidery, while in
reality there was very little. The
petals were embroidered in the long
and short stitch finished all round in
a buttonhole stitch, while the inside
of the flowers were finished in French
knots.
The floss was exactly the same
shade as the dress itself, and was of
the coarsest silk fiber, so that it too.
not very many stitches to finish the
work, and each stitch showed to the
best advantage.
The same idea is frequently carried
out in jumper dresses and guimpe
frocks, and it is surprising how little
embroidery it takes to give the gown
that distinctive stamp of elegance that
hand embroidery always adds.

Plan New Insurance Probe.

The discovery by Insurance Com
missioner Beedle that fire insurance
companies in the state, principally in
Milwaukee, have been rendering mac
curate reports to the department in
the past three years will lead at once
to an investigation, which may bring
at least $4,000 into the state treasury.
According to Mr.. Beedle the COM
panies have not paid the full amount
of taxes that are due the state. The
discovery was made several days ago
in examining the reports of fire com.
panies for taxes to be paid on bust
ness in 1907. AS soon as the notice
of the companies was directed to the
error they have RENTED in additional
amount due in 1907. But the problem
has been pushed beyond this years
business and similar mistakes have
been discovered in the reports for
1905 and 1906. The law provides that
fire insurance companies, authorized
to do business in the state must "pay
a tax of four per cent. on the amount
Of the gross premiums received during
the preceding year in this state.
From this gross amount shall be de-
Quoted the amount paid to any au
thorized company for the reinsurance
of risks located in this state.

Japanese Effects.

A quaint new wrap has japanese
sleeves that cover the shoulders al
most to the neck. The wrap has a
bolero back, quite loose, and the fronts
are nothing but ribbon attached to the
sleeves, carried across the front of the
waist and tied in a bow with the ends
left to stream out at considerable
length.
In bodices there is also a Japanese
effect in a draped waist with broad
bands forming the sleeves. These
bands go down the back, forming and
outlining pointed hood that tapers in
at the waist line. From the pointed
end a long tassel depends and rests
on the skirt. This is used in elaborate
afternoon gowns.

Madison.-Secretary of State Frear
has received the official returns of the
vote of Burnett county at the recent
election, thus completing the official
returns of the vote of the entire state.
The total vote cast for delegates from
the state at large to the national Re-
publican convention was 64O,o0l. inc
total vote of each of the four candi-
dates elected was as follows: Col.
w. C. Brumder of Milwaukee, 22,195;
Congressman II. A. Cooper of Racine,
1866; Senator Isaac Stephenson OF
Marinette, 106,712; former Railroad
Commissioner Alley Peterson of Sol
diers' Grove, 95,245. The total vote Of
each of the four candidates who failed
of election was as follows: II. 0. Fair
child of Green Bay, 57,158; Capt.
John NJ Estes of Stoughton, 50,722;
Cen Frederick c. Winkler of Milwau-
kee, 50,283; Adolph A. Homstad of
Black River Falls, 40,517 There were
three scattering votes. The total vote
for delegates from the state at large
to the national Democratic convention
was 205, Ala, or less than one-third OF
that cast for the Republican delegates
at large. The Democratic candidates,
however, did not have any opposition
at the polls. The total vote of each
of the delegates to the national Demo
cratic convention is as follows: At
torney John A. Awkward of Madison,
56,292; Editor NJ A. Hoyt of Milwau-
II Manson

w. Wiesse of Sheboygan Falls, 49,
857. There were seven scattering
votes. The total vote cast for candi-
dates for delegates for both the Repub-
lican and Democratic national conven-
tons was 845,915, and as each elector
had the privilege of voting for four
Republicans or four Democrats, this
total vote represents 211,478 electors.
1t is presumed that all of the electors
who voted did not vote for delegates
from the state at large because the
total vote for member of the supreme
court was 23,018 more than the 211,-
478 electors represented by the vote
for state-at-large delegates. The total
vote for member of the supreme court
was 234, 496. Attorney John Barnes

votes. Barnes plurality is 1896 and
his majority is 34,818.
