Four Times Young Man Gives Up
His Blood For Another.

Four Times Young Man Gives Up
His Blood For Another.
In less than four months Samuel
Bailey of Wilmington, Del. has
given of his blood four times to save
the life of a girl he had never seen
until he was taken to her bedside
for the first sacrifice. Bailey's re-
markable generosity was due chiefly
to his friendship for the girls broth
er.
Less than six months ago Eva
Rosenstein of Philadelphia was taken
sick with anemia, and the doctors
said that her only hope of recovery
rested in the TRANSMISSION of blood
from some healthy person. Eva S
brother lives in Wilmington, and
among his close friends there is Bal
ley. The latter saw the worried look
on his friends face, and inQuiring
the cause was told the whole pa
thetic story. He at once offered his
blood, and early in July the first
TRANSMISSION was effected at the Penn
sylvania Hospital in Philadelphia,
where Eva is a patient. Three times
since he has allowed his blood to be
transfused, when the condition of the
girl made this necessary. Notwith-
standing the sacrifice the girl has
only fighting chance for recovery.

THE SHAKERS ARE DYING OUT.
Declining Colony in Kentucky Has
Disposed of It's Property.

The Shaker colony at High Bridge,
KY, has disposed of it's property and
the members-now numbering only
I14-will be supported during the
balance of their days by the man to
whom the property was sold.
The term Shaker" is a popular
appellation for the United Society of
True Believers in Christ's Second
Coming, originating from the pecu-
liar leaping and dancing that in the
earlier days of the organization
characterized its worship. The sect
was founded in the latter part of
the 18th century by Ann Lee of
Manchester, Eng. She was first con-
IVerted by Jane Wardlaw, of the So
Iclety of Friends, who preached the
second coming of Christ in the form
of woman. Mother Ann" as she
came to be called, took up this doc
Itrine, and to escape persecution fed
to America. With seven companions
she formed the first Shaker settle
ment at Watervliet, near Albany, N.
Y. Before her death two other colo
MES were established, one at Han

For many years the society has
been steadily diminishing in num-
bers. At its greatest the member
ship was only 1859. The last cen
sus placed the number at 1000 in IS
societies, distributed over New York.

lucky.
The Shakers have much in com
mon with the Quakers, or Friends,
from whom they sprang. A distinct
i've belief and practice is the abolition
| OF marriage. The members of the
| opposite sexes occupy separate
rooms, and when married couples
| join the sect they assume the rela-
| tionship of brothers and sisters only.
They are total abstainers from alco-
hol, and, like the Quakers, refuse
to do military service. They believe
that God is King, that the sin of
Adam is attoned, and that all hu-
man beings shall be saved.

NO CHEAPER COTTON.
Cotton Manufacturers Hold Semi-An-

Cotton Manufacturers Hold Semi-An-
nual Meeting at Portsmouth.
Concerted action to remedy, if pos
stble, the existing inactivity in the
cotton industry was taken by the
National Association of Cotton Man
ufacturers, which held it's seminar
nual meeting at Portsmouth, N. H.
President Hobbs addressed the del
egates on the general conditions of
the cotton industry. He said, in
part:
The cotton manufacturing indus
try has been in troubIous times since
we met in April last. High prices
for raw material and high rates of
wages have been the situation on the
one hand, and low prices for our
manufactured products on the other.
Curtailment and shutdown have re-
suited, and the condition of the
whole trade has been very unsatis-
factory and disturbing. 1t is very
evident that the prices for our prod
ucts must advance, and the buyers
VIII nave to pay more for them.
While the cotton crop is still uncer-
tain, and anyone would be rash to
predict, yet materially cheaper cot
ton seems unlikely"
Mr.. Hobbs favored the proposition
to establish bonded warehouses in
cotton-raising districts and, perhaps.
also, at cotton manufacturing cen
ters for the storage of the cotton
crop.

Investigation Ordered at the Atlanta

A considerable stir has been

Warden w. H. Meyer is not in

MAN OF go HAD BEAUTY FAD.
Wife Says He "Salomed" His Feet
and Drank Cream.

and Drank Cream.
Mrs Granville Law, who is suing
for divorce in Chicago, is quoted as
saying:
What do you think of a man who
kept himself on a babys diet to pre-
serve his complexion, who daily
drank a quart of cream that his
cheeks might have that soft, rich
tint and his eyes that youthful lustre
he thought so enhancing? What
would you say of a man over go
years old who spent two and three
hours in the bath room every day
Inassaging and steaming and rub
bling and pinching his neck and his
cheeks and smoothing out the
wrinkles from his forehead?
why, he was the only living mas
culine Trilby. He used to 'salome'
his feet, as he called it, three times
a week, and as for hosiery, he was
certainly the great American sock
collector. No fewer than seventy
five pairs of half hose of every con-
ceivable hue and texture were
strewn around his room.
My husband was obsessed with
the idea that he was lady killed.
| cannot say but that he may have
had cause so to consider himself,
as l am told that he had led eleven
other girls to the altar before l mar
ried him.
"Oh, woman, woman" replied
Law, when asked concerning the al
legation of his wife. What can a
man say when a woman gets after
him like that?"

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Kentucky is
laughing in sympathy with Daniel
E. O'Sullivan, journalist, lawyer,
politician, who makes such extraor-
binary concessions in his lad" for
a new cook, now running in Louis
vile newspaper, closing with the al
most pathetic and yet alluring APP
peal that his last cook died of old
age" Mr. O'Sullivan has just told
why he advertised that the new
cooks beau could ring the front
door bell,' and has also given his
views on cooks as a general subject.
Mr., O'Sullivan's almost fearful yet
mirth-provoking ad for cook runs;
q" Observation-Disclosures white
cook in comfortable home, with
hardwood floors, electric light,
hot-air heater and natural gas;
3 very small family; when extra
guests the list will be submitted
to the cook for approval; laun-

papers and eight magazines,
several continued stories just
beginning; bottled beer always
in refrigerator; beaux can ring

references from last cook, who
died of old age.
Could Handle Policemen.
Mr.. O'Sullivan began his career as
a newspaper man. He was managing
editor of the Courier-Journal. He
edited the Critic, weekly. He was
a member of the Board of Safety OF
Louisville. He learned how to han
die policemen and firemen. Then he
turned to the law and became as
sistant city attorney. And now he
is practicing and is considered one
of the flights" of his profession in
this city. But he has, with the eX-
ception of the last cook, who died
of of age" had a most narrowing ex-
perience with cooks.
He says, almost mournfully, in
pleading his cause, "a cook is:
Variable as the shade
By the light quivering aspen made"
He further laments: Train up a
cook and away she goes" After a
sigh he continues: Il have read
somewhere the rule of success laid
down by a great man, Time and I
against all things l am following
that rule. Time and may succeed
in getting a cook. The only thing
1 am afraid of is that Time will last
longer than l will. l need three
meals a day, and Time doesn't
Made From Raw Material.
But by his journalistic genius Mr.
O'Sullivan hopes to lure a cook into
intimate acquaintance with his cook
stove, by his wiles as a politician
he hopes to coax her to continue that
acquaintance at least "a hours, and
as an attorney he plans to invoke
the law of cooks, whatever that is,
in an action for breach of promise"
if she quits her job.
In England cooks are inherited"
says Mr.. O'Sullivan. In this coun-
try We manufacture them out of raw
material, most of which is imported,

NOVELTY BASKETS.

full ornamental baskets of various shapes
and sizes. The medium sized square bas-
kets having covers hinged with ribbon are
fore ties and handkerchiefs, the oblong
shaped affairs are for gloves and wells and
the round receptacles without covers are
for sewing utensils, and contain a button

Lacquered red or brown bamboo oblong

Baskets made from the armadillo, from

brisk hammering will drive them into POI
sition on the board.
A pretty effect may be given the sheet
lead cups by laying each one on the up
turned face of an old flatiron and pound
ing the edges with small tack hammer
This should of course, be done before 1t is
painted or gilded. A small five cent fun
mel, painted or gilded to match, may be
substituted as an extinguisher.
In fact, any round board may be sub
stituted, and candle cups are by no means
necessity. If the end of a candle is
exposed to flame for an instant it will
melt sufficiently to adhere to the wooden
surface, IL held on the board for few
seconds.
If the candles are placed in the ice box
few hours before using they will harden
and not burn down SO quickly. This
simple precaution is also a preventive
against undue dripping, which is desirable
if no cups are used to catch the over
flow.
A suggestion in line with this. and
which may be used by the girl for her
sweet sixteen party. is to utilize real or
artificial rose for a candle holder. Pluck
a few petals from the centre. pour In a
little hot wax or drippings from the
candle exposed to the fame, and set the
candle firmly in the heart Of the rose.
The stem should be left intact and twisted
in shape for handle.
This idea Is an artistic stimulation of
the old fashioned candlestick without
shade. and many such set around the din
ing room will add to its decorative effect,
also bearing out the idea of IAN early
candlelight affair.""
Such a candle board will do duty for
more than one birthday party. and it will
also serve gracefully at Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinners and other festal occa-
sions 1t admits of all sorts of floral deco
rations--holly, myrtle, garlands of roses,
sweet peas, morning glories-and 1t will
add much to the JOY of many home fetes.
So sweet sixteen" need not think she
can monopolize it for her own, but then,
of course. she would not wish to do so, for

rose or an artificial one with foliage. The
white card may be further embellished, if
desired, by cutting roses from crepe

A beautiful conceit which may be car
ried out in the dining room by deft fingers
is that of rose bower. For this purpose
one end of the room. or a huge screen,

leaves should be twined in and out of the
lattice to give the bower effect.
g UGH a party given in an old Sara
toga mansion counterfeited such a
bower by using two large folding
screens across one corner of the dining
room, thus helping to carry out the pink

triumphs. But fortunately love of dane
ing can rank among the acquired tastes
for almost all. At dancing school all can
learn the rudiments of dancing, and II
this does not give enough few courses in
fancy dancing will be almost sure to lend
suppleness, grace and a sense Of time that
are so all important.
Glasses in fancy dancing at present are
included and really stand foremost in the
so-called fads of the time, since all ages,
from the tiny tots not yet in the school
room to their grandmothers, are ardent
devotees and work hard and conscientious
ly at this art. Among the young girls,
however, who are to be formally brought
out in year or two and who even now
attend numerous dances during holiday
time these classes are not to be numbered
among the fads. They are quite as i'm
portant part of their preparation for
the social world as any other studies
which they work at so regularly, and the
girl who has never attended at least one
course in fancy dancing starts her
debutante year without fair equipment.
Without any further knowledge of dane
ing than is taught in an ordinary dane
ing school she will never be able to pick
up quickly all the little new steps and in
novations which are introduced from time
to time and become fads of the season.
The average boy or young man who
takes the trouble nowadays to go to a
dance does SO because he is fond of
dancing, and even if he is not especially
fond of dancing he would certainly prefer
to dance with one who waltzes we'll than
to struggle around the room with some
very nice girl whom he can see much
more satisfactorily at another time and
place; nor is anything so contagious as
happiness and enjoyment in ballroom,
except its reverse. so that the girl who
shows through her excitement that she is
having "the time of her life" is sure to be
deluged with partners eager to catch the
same spirit. all of which goes back to
the immense Importance of learning while
still young to dance so we'll that it were
impossible to appear anything but de-
lightfully happy and radiant with keen
enjoyment when the smooth floor glistens,
the lights shine and the dreamike music

the candle board ceremony.
Just above the table, suspended from
the chandelier, was a huge pink crepe
paper rose-really bomb, for wire

cred with crepe paper and the rose built
on it petal by petal. Runners of pink and
white satin ribbon extended from the rose
bomb TO the plates, where they termi-
mated in Sweet sixteen" sachet favors.
Each sachet had many loops and sixteen
ends. from which were suspended candy
hearts with the usual sentimental inscrip-
tions. One end of the ribbon had painted
upon it, I'VE are sweet sixteen but once.
When cake time came around the host
ess arose and invited her guests to arise
also, whereupon each one was requested
to snuff one candle with the old silver
extinguisher, which had once upon a time
been great-grandmamma's and which Dan
iel Webster himself had used when guest
in their home. When the sixteenth candle
fiickered out under the little silver cap
the hostess was privileged to snuff out the
extra candle on top of the cake--the "one
TO grow on"-after which she served a
slice of snowy cake to each guest.
At a signal from the hostess the ribbon
runners were pulled simultaneously, when
the rose bomb burst in a shower of bon
bons over the table. Everything break
able had, of course, first been removed.
Such a party can be easily given by any
girl. Five sheets of tissue paper will
make the bomb, rose and all. The latter
is fashioned of large crumpled petals
glued on a pasteboard foundation. An or
dinary baking pan may hold the gifts and
have the rose attached to the cover. In
