Brass Decorations.

Brass said a professional interior
decorator, lis the color and metal L like
best to deal with in dining rooms for
summer houses. 1t is enormously effective
both by day and by candle light; it wears
forever: ornaments of it are turned to
practical uses, and almost never does one
see a silly piece. an atrocity to be
abhorred by artistic people.
IA matter most important in all decor
alton, you must understand, Is that OBJ
jects which ornament shall also have a
reason for being. If you stop % con-
slider all the real works of art you ever
saw or heard of, their value anu life
lie in either the extreme delicacy Of
their execution, which is craft, their col
oring, which is art, or their shape. With
the exception of pictures. there is hard
ly piece known to collectors which was
not designed for practical purpose. The
instant one leaves this latter thought and
selects an object which could not be
adapted to any use the chances are that
it will be inartistic because it has TO
coherent reason for having been executed

cause the metal, intelligently employed.

Flower Extracts.

Girls who are SO fortunate as to have
gardens can make their own flower ex-
tracts if they are willing to sacrifice the
blossoms while they are still fresh. Sweet
waters cannot be distilled from flowers
which have been allowed to fade first.
The petals are to be stripped from their
stems before the morning dew is off
A glass preserving jar is the best vessel
for holding them. and as many petals are
to be put In each morning as can be gath
cred. Every day the new lot is sprlnkled
with "a little salt; hardly more. than one
would put on were one seasoning them to
eat. When four ounces of petals have
been gathered-and this is a large guam
tity-a pint of strong white wine vinegar
is to be poured over if one wishes an
especially tangy water. Spirits of wine,
which may be used instead, gives a diff
ferent scent. In either case the cover,
which has been kept on tightly all the
time. is screwed down hard, having a
rubber ring to exclude the air, and the
mixture stands for a week, when 1t is
strained without squeezing and is ready
for use.
When gardens are not part of one S
worldly possessions there is still meth
cd OF making very desirable toilet waters.
one buys the strong extract and diluteS it.
FOR instance, orange flower water is de-
licious, and is to be had by mixing one
ana three-quarter ounces of extract OF
orange flower petals with half a pint OF
white wine vinegar.
Florida water. which one makes at
home differs little from that of COM
Elerce and is not expensive. For 1t are
required two drains each of oils of laven-
DER, bersamOt and lemon, one dram each
or OIL of neroli and tincture of tumeric,
thirty drops of oil Of balm, ten drops Of
cttar Of rose and one quart of rectified
spirits. This is mixed, tightly fastened
and stands for ten days, after which it is
strained. All toilet waters and perfumes
are better for keeping some time before
they are used.
The special virtue in such things at this
season is that they are really refreshing
as well as pleasant to use. Sprayed on
the body after the bath they impart an
agreeable odor, and when one is tired and
exhausted they are invigorating.

TIMELY HINTS FOR
WOMEN READERS

There is an excellent substitute sea
bath for one who cannot get to the
ocean. 1t is made by mixing two POUNDS
of muriate of soda one pound of sulphate
of soda and one-haif pound each OF
chloride of lime and chloride 'of mag
nesia. This is enough for a large tub full
of warm water, and Is to be thoroughly
dissolved. The temperature should be
Just comfortably warm, and person i'll
ordinary health may stay in ii for twenty
minutes This should not be taken in the
evening. but on arising or before dressing
for the afternoon. 1t is decidedly tonic in
effect
Coarse sea salt is very inexpensive, and
a most excellent thing to be used in warm
weather, for one may get from it beneht
similar to that from an ocean bath Aft
er taking the usual tub one stands, the
body still wet, on mat or towel and all
the skin is gone over with salt, taking it
up by the handful. This causes slght
friction and some Of the salt will adhere
Circulation is increased and salt is work
ed into the system desirably.
When very hot weather has affected the
blood and the skin is irritated a soda or
vichy bath will bring relief. A pound OF
blcarbOnate OF soda Is dissolved III a tub-
full of warm, not hot. water, and the pa
tient stays in for twenty or twenty-five
minutes. The body is patted with soft
towels, not rubbed, to dry, and some Of
the soda adhereS.
Another bath that is said to have great
| virtue by way of toniciZing the system is
| made by dissolving forty grams of gela-
| tin in quart of boiling water and put
| ting this into tub of water with nifty
| grams CT sulphate of potassium and one
| hundred grams of Subcarbonate of soda.
This is recommended in cases of extreme
nervousness.
Any person taking a bath for medicinal
! purposes must be allowed to regulate the
| temperature that it shall be best suit
ed. What would be strengthening to one
might be weakening to another, and. gen
orally speaking, one cannot remain In not
| water without loss of vitality as long as
in that which is tepid. Other persons
find that which is cool but not chilled is
invigorating, but there is never any dill
ficuty in deciding what is best. When
bath has benefited the individual feels
fresher and stronger, and if the INNER
sion has been harmful there will be lassl-
tude and weakness.

the empire was established the German
army has not fought a battle and the
German navy has not fired gun.
The German advance. thus far, is not
a military movement 1t is not cam

not movement for mere political az
grandizement. 1t is something more than
all of these. 1t aims at something more

The German advance is a deliberately

not for threatening the safety Of other
nations. Its aim is to make Germany
commercially and industrially the SUI
preme nation of the world. Its purpose
is to abolish poverty and to make the
German people the most prosperous peo-
pie on earth. It's endeavor is to claim
every drop Of German blood and every
German state, and therefore to make
that state supreme in the moral as well
as In the economic and political sphere.
Many years ago the great Bismarck
summed up the German imperial spirit in
these words: Up to the year 1865 We
pursued a Prusso-German policy. From
1866 to 1870 we pursued German Euro
pean policy. Since then we have pursued
a world policy. In discounting future
events we must also take note of the
United States, who will become in mat
tiers economic, and. perhaps in matters
political as well. a much greater danger
than most people imagine. The war OF
the future will be the economic war. the
struggle for existence on the largest
scale. May my successor always bear
this in mind and always take care that
Germany will be prepared when this bat
tie has to be fought.
Bismarck's successor was not a chan
cellor. but Il kaiser, and there is as yet
no rea son to believe that he has not done
everything humanity possible to prepare
his empire for that great economic war.

BERLIN, July o5-The German EN-
pire is militant nation, ambitious
and unafraid. advancing swiftly to-
ward its goal of world supremacy
1t is the ambition of the German
state, of the German emperor and OF
every German to make the German en-
pire what Rome was and what Britain
is. Germany is military state, but i,
is even more an industrial state. Ger
many is a nation of dreamers, but it is
even more nation Of doors. The Ger
mans are philosophical, but they are
even more practical Germany is the
heir Of all the ages in its wealth OF
ancient story and tradition, but it Is fore
most in the files of time as the youngest
of the great nations Of the world. The
German people are older than any peo-
pie Of the western world. the German
empire is. the youngest state among the
occidental powers.
The German people, enc in language
and instinct, but divided in political al
legiance, were welded into a nation by
the Iron Chancellor Bismarck In the fvt
years between 1866 and 1871. The en-
pire became possible in 1866; it was in
evitable In 1871. In this great work the
modern Vulcan took up the broken bonds
of the ancient holy Roman empire neat
ed the chains white-hot in the fire
kindled by Frederick the Great, and
welded them anew with the trp-hammer
of the modern age Of machines. The
empire proclaimed at Versailles nearly
forty years ago has justified It's existence
as an efficient governmental machine,
representative of united nation and a
homogeneous people.
