WOMEN OF coREAN COURT.
Great Reduction in Their Number-in-
 fiuence They Once Exerted,

From the London Telegraph.
 The visit of three Corean court ladies to Japan is an indication of the striking changes that have resulted from the Jap anese occupation of the Hermit Kingdom. Two years ago there were no fewer than 1900 ladies in waiting, now there are only 100.
 This wholesale reduction naturally cre- ated consternation among those whose services were dispensed with. Their lot however, does not seem to have been all together epviabe. It appears that 1t has been the custom to take girls into the court from the age of 10, and thenceforth throughout the whole period of their nat Iral lives they were never allowed to leave the precincts of the palace, so that they lived in absolute ignorance of the outside, world
 The few who accompanied the Emperor on his recent tour gave evidence of the timidity which had resulted from their long confinement. for they could hardly be persuaded to enter the train, and they finally did so with manifest trepidation.
 Hitherto the influence of these ladies at court has been very great. Having con- stant access to the ear of the sovereign. on the one hand. and being, on the other. accessible to all the intriguing influences that prevailed In the unwholesome atmos- phere of the court, their power exceeded even that of ministers of state.

MAKING USE OF WASTE.
Valuable By-Product From Materiale
 Once Considered Worthless.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 In the textile industry the making of value out of waste has been truly remark able In the modern woolen factory no fewer than five products are obtained by methods now in vogue from the greasy excretions, which, after circulating through the animals system. attach to the wool of a sheep. These products are used as base for ointments and toilet prepa. rations, for dressings for leather, as . lubricant for wool and other animal fbers, and in conjunction with certain lubricating oils.
 At one large lubricatng plant more than 100000 pounds of wool are "degreased" ev- cry ten hours From s2.o0o, GOO to a, ,000, 900 worth of wool fat and potash are estimat- ed to have been wasted during a year in the United States before the solvent pro- cess of extraction came into general use.
 Perfumes are not always what they seem. Scents and other useful odors ara generally supposed to be obtained from flowers. The oils coming from waste fruit such as deeayed pears. grapes and peaches. however, can be substituted for some of the costliest floral fragrance after they have been treated with acids and other liquids. which impart to them a re- narkable perfume.

PRIVATE PAPERS
 IN MURDER CASE

Crescent City, ILL, July 15.-Con- tents of the private packet left by the slain banker J. B. Saylor opened to- day, are said to be of a startling na- ture. According to W. k. Nightingale, who was present when the secret pa pers were read by brothers of the de- ceased, the contents of which he re- fused to divulge, have a direct bearing on the killing of MT. Sayler by Dr. W. l.. Miller last Sunday as result of an alleged attachment of Mrs Say Ter and pr. Miller.
 We can't give what we found to the public, at least now" said MT. Nightingale. T will say, however, that it is evidence which will prove of value to the prosecution of Dr. Mil- Ter, who is charged with murder, and of Mrs. saylor charged with being an accessory"
 As soon as the contents of the packet were learned States Attorney Pallis- sard, at Wetseka, was summoned by long distance teleph one.
 The fourth and final bullet fired at MT. Sayler was found in the dining room of the home today. Three were previously found in the body. The fourth was found embedded in the south east corner of the room.

 nation of Committing
 Such Rash Act.

New York, July 15.-Suicide today ended the gay career of wealthy young Cuban when Juan Balsinde shot himself in his apartment in East Fourteenth street. Nearly 200 seat checks from theatres were found; also some memoranda and let ter indicated that he had been infatuated with an actress and had followed her from place to place in Cuba and in this country.

 The letter said in part
 1T am going away soon. l have had enough trouble with my people already. I am going back ot Cuba to my mother who will forgive me for all my foolish acts.

Just About Lemons.

From the New York Globe.
 With the approach of warm weather, when mans best friend is the citrus fruit these suggestions are especially in teresting. Following are some of the uses of lemon:
 Two or three slices of lemon in a cup of sstrong tea will cure a nervous head ache.
 teaspoonful of juice in a small cup of black coffee will relieve a bilious headache.
 A dash of lemon juice in plain water makes cleansing tooth wash. not only removing the tartar but swestening the breath.
 A lotion of lemon juice and rose water will remove tan and whiten the skin.
 Lemon juice with olive oil Is far su- perior to vinegar for salad dressing equal parts used for blending,
 Tough meat can be made tender by adding teaspoonful of lemon juice to the water in which 1t is boiled.
 It also removes nnsightiy stains from the hands.
 After the pulp is removed the skins make dainty receptacies for serving sal ads, ices, etc.

Freezing Flowers. From HarDer's Weekly.


 The latest and most approved method of preserving flowers during transports tion is that of freezing them. When this process is employed the flowers are pickAd while in the bud and will keep perfectly for several weeks in refrigerator boxes. No deterioration of their beauty results from this treatment, and after they have been unpacked and placed in water they slowly revive and the blossoms develop fully During the periode of refrigeration all growth is suspended, and so slowly do the flowers return to their natural state that such blossoms will last much longer in a room than would be- the case had they been brought directly from the green house or the garden.
 The facility with which horticultural specimens have been transported by this new method has led to experiments in South Africa with view to determining whether many their wonderful flowers may not be safbly exported In bulk to supply the trade In Europe and America. It Is exceedingly probable that in the near future We may see offered for sale at ap- parently ridiculOusly low prices such an unfamiliar plant as the gorgeous iris. which grows wild in great profusion throughout South Africa.
