 A. M. Ellsworth is to have a public auction sale this afternoon at Z o clock in front of his hffice. The articles to be sold are enum- erated elsewher in this paper. Mir. Ellsworth is making an at tempt to attract people to these sales each Saturday from all parts of the county, and his interest in l the matter is not so much from a remunerative standpoint as it is to establish public mart. If 1t once goes out among the people that Saturday is regular sales day in Prescott it will be one of the best advertising scheme yet. When once everybody knows that he has a place to get rid of any surplus farming tools, or where he can buy something second hand that will answer the pur- pose, and at the same time make a saving, they will ma turally show an interest in these sales. Why not make Mir. Ellsworth s sale day a success? Attend this af- ternoon and see what bargains he has to offer you.

Concerning Women.

Probably no woman of royal birth is
SO clever an actress: as the Arch
duchess of Blanca of Austria, wife OF
Archduke Leopold Salvador. The
archauchess is particularly fond of
amateur theatricals and she extends
her liking for the art to a goodly num-
her of artists.
Miss Amy Rernady, instructor of
italian in Smith college, has gone to
Europe to make a report on the condi-
ton of Italian women in the North
Atlantic division of the United states.
for the board of immigration of the
foreign office of the Italian govern
ment at Rome. For the past three
months she has been making special

The dowagCr- empress used to be
known as the most exquisite dancer in
Russia, and she has always devoted a
good deal Of her time to music. An

fists of promise who appeal to her for
help. Had it not been for her kindly
aid certain artists now known to all
would never have gained the ear OF
the British public. The empress paved
their way to fame and fortune by CIV

WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.
Patient and Good Natured-Dress in
White, Go Barefooted.

Paraguay is rich in local color. The
picturesque character of the native
population with their quaint Indian
features and habits of every day life
are interesting to anybody fond OF
life. BY nature these people are
patient and gentle, seldom complain-
ing chattering and laughing from sun
rise to sunset and taking small
thought of what the morrow may have
in store for them.
1t is hard to imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into fighting
material Of strength enough to keep in
check the combined forces of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Uruguay for five long
weary years. and it speaks volumes
for the indomtablc energy of the man
that he was able to sustain his posi-
tion for so protractcd a time.
Clothing is very much of a
Supernuty in Paraguay. The attire of
the women is a cotton chemise with a
long shectlike shawl, or manta, passed
over the head and around the body in
Moorish fashion. The dress of the
men is equally simple, consisting only
of cotton shirt and trousers. Both
sexes are guiltlesS OF foot covering.
At times an almost uncanny feeling
rises when a group of these white
robed, dark haired maidens pass sud
denly with the silent tread of unshod
feet.
OF a morning in the market places
the women folk flock to sell their
wares, carrying on their heads the
baskets containing the few cents
worth of native produce they have
been able to gather together for dis
posa1 in the towns. The soft Guarani
language. the common tongue of the
Paraguayans. adds further charm to
the sCcne.-Boston Transcript.

Shopping in Japan.

Shopping expeditions were always
amusing. A Japanese woman who
spoke English, the wife Of Mr. Trench s
valet, took me with her and | invested
in some fascinating obs, Mrs. Tetsu
helping me with her excellent taste.
Next We went to curio-dealer. There
seemed to be no shop, but we walked
into a tiny garden, where, seated on the
floor of II small house, was smiling OLD
man. who received us with many bows
placing cushions for us. Tea and shiny
brown cakes were brought in; he then
produced few little boxes and with
much undoing of pale blue eandgreen
tapes and unfolding of silk hanlker-
chiefs, showed US lovely old bits of
lacquer, china and bronze. The more |
admired the more he smiled and
brought forth treasures, handling the
things tcnderly, as though he loved
them, which was altogether cnticng.

To Remove Fruit Stains.

more effective than the sulphur bleach

The Household Apron.

Women who do a good part of their
own work or. at least, overlook the
aids work, should make four house,
hold aprons. These keep the entire
frock clean.
They are made of dull blue, gray or

put into deep armholes, then gathered
at the wrist to a one-inch turnover

They are cut V-shape at the neck,

HOUSEHOLD :I]j)jLD HELPS :. IS!
Preserving Fruit.

There are two methods for preserving
fruit; in one, the fruit is cooked in the
cans, in the other, it is boiled in the sy
rup. The first method means slower
work, but you thus retain the flavor of
the fruit-also the fresh, delicious odor
which vanishes when fruit is boiled.
Before proceeding with either method
see to the fruit cans. A careful house
wife washes them during the year as
they arc cmptied, covers them and puts
them away on a shelf to be in readiness
for the preserving season. Even then
they require steriliZing before being
used. for the bacteria floating every
where in the atmosphere require only
the slightest chance for lodgment to
begin fermentation.
Still, with ordinary care 1t is quite
easy to have fruit keep, even if you live
in hot southern climate. You have
simply to be sure that the can is per-
fectly clean and that it is air-tight. To
make 1t SO, put each can in wash-boil-
er of cold water, dissolving in it a little
borax If you notice dirt or crust on
the cans or their lids. To keep the cans
from cracking, cover the bottom of
the boiler with a framework or any
thing which keeps the glass from the
intense heat Of the fire. Let the water
come slowly to a boil, then continue at
the boiling point for ten minutes. Set
the boiler back on the stove, cover it.
and allow the cans to stand in the hot
water until they are needed. Rinse
them with fresh boiling water, and they
are then ready to fill-Success Maga-

Grating Lemons.

There's right and a wrong way to
CRATE lemon, and according to
cooking teacher most of the cases of
curdled sauces and custards favored
with lemon are due to the fact that the
lemon isn't grated properly" She
says: "a properly grated lemon would
present just the same appearance, as
far as outline is concerned. as before
the grating process was commenced,
there being no deep gouges into the
pith as is generally the case.
1.-THE oil of the lemon which is
wanted for favoring is all in the
yellow portion of the rind, the white
pth underneath being bitter and LA
BILE to cause curdling if used with
milk or cream The white pith
hasn't the slightest suspicion of the
real lemon flavor, and still the av-
erage housekeeper hasn't learned this
and keeps on grating right through
the oily yellow rind down into the
bitter pith, and then wonders why
on earth the milk curdles.
"The habit of grating lemon cor
rectly is easily learned when once
ones attention is called to the mat
ter. The grating should begin at
the end of the lemon and as small a
surface of the crater should be used
as possible. This prevents waste.
"The lemon should be turned in the
same way that one turns an apple
under a knife while peeling. Grat-
ing a lemon properly is pretty
little trick once it's learned, and it
often means success whore before
there has been failure"
