ITS s4TH BIRTHDAY.

The New Haven Palladium on Mon day issued a 64-page edition to sig nalize its S4th birthday and in so doing showed that 1t has every up to date facility for making a goth cen- tury paper.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
 THE HOUSEWIFE.

Use strips of shoe leather to tack heavy roses to the house or trellis, since it outlasts twine or strips of goods.
 Cut out the corners from all heavy envelopes, for they are excellent for holding coins sent by mail. They also make good book corner protectors.
 Knitted underwear makes the softest and best ironing holders. Put several thicknesses together and quilt on the machine. Make a tape loop to hang the holder to a nail.
 A box of cardines and a can of shrimp, both prepared for eating and served together on lettuce leaves with 6 dressing of oil vinegar, onion juice, salt and pepper, make a deliccious sal ad. Mayonnaise dressing may be used.
 When scraping new potatoes they will invariably blacken the hands. There Is nothing batter than piece of lemon for removing the blemish, and when obstinate, if pinch of powdered pumice is placed on the lemon, 1t will instantly remove the stain.
 Be careful where you place your dressing tables and mirrors this spring. Sunlight will destroy the finest bevel French plate. and it is impossible to restore the backing without consider able expense. Dampness will destroy it in the same manner.

RIBBON KIMoNo.

A charming novelty is the kimono made entirely of ribbon.
 The ribbon used is about four Inches wide.
 It may be stitched together along the edges, or, what is prettier, joined with faggoting of heavy silk.
 There is no fullness upon the shoul- ders.
 The garment Is made on the sparse lines of the real Japanese kimono.
 The under-arm seam is given a gradual slope, so that there may be room enough around the bottom to walk comfortably.
 The pompadour ribbons are charm ing.
 They may be fagotted with silk to match the leading color in the flowers.
 The bottoms of the sleeves and the outer edges of the kirnono may also be faced with solid color.

f1iction and many requests come for something to remove this unsightly growth. All such remedies must be used with great care, unless one is wise enough to prefer an herb preparation, when no harm need be anticipated. One of the best of these herb depilato- ries is the celandine leaf. The plant must be steeped in a quart of water, and after the mixture, is cooled it should be strained and the liquid used as a wash or a. compress, which may remain upon the hair all night. This process is sure, but very slow. In time the hairs will disappear, and should they show any signs of reap bearing the celandine may again be used.

Paulhamus of Pierce county is

for fourth class cities. Paulhamue
mas a lot of coal miners in his
Puyallup district and they are not
particularly infatuated with hav-
ing fourth class cities voted dry
with the county.
With the announcement that
Paulhamus has become moist
there arises political rumor that
Paulhamus is ambitious to be
president pro tenn of the senate,
while Ruth goes to congress. just
how this is all going to come
about isn't quite clear as yet, and
probably is only the product of as
siduous application to the politi-
cal pipe.
What Paulhamus detection will
do to the drys in the senate is
worrying Falconer and the others
who are standing hard and fast.

cities the drys expected to pass
their Anti-Saloon league bill, but
with Paulhamus dropping his gun
and running things look black.
During the earlier part of the
fight Paulhamus was one of the
dry heroes on the floor, but 1t was
known that 1t was rather against
his will, and his disposition to
have a good fight. In the mean
time there has come change of
heart.
The house drys are said to be
lined up solid against fourth class
cities being a unit, that is the
drys claim this, but investigation
does not bear them entirely out.
The fight will come up Tuesday
afternoon, when the public morals
committees majority and minor
ity reports on the senate bill will
be a special order of business.

Senator Poison of Chehalis, got
through an amendment prohibit
ing the possession or use of q

He believes that man could
stand In an alley and potshot his
enemy through window across
the street and none would be the
wiser until the janitor come to

Another reason for his opposi-

old.
S. G. Hitchcock, 81 South Sew
enth street, a workman by voca-

When. he told his age to the

but Hitchcock insisted it was all
right.

the registrar.
Il was born in Iowa the last

There is no way of refusing to
accept the statements of the voter
as to his age and, although Hitch
cock did not look over 60, he was
put on the book at 1000 years.
He has been in the state 20 years.
Hitchcock is a believer in the
