TOP. but only lately have these admirable
contrivances been offered in America;

Mothproof Hat Bags.

A LMOST every woman has experienced
the difficulty of putting away q
handsome ostrich-trimmed hat for the
summer in such way that the feather
trimmings will not be crushed 1t Is ire
quently necessary to rip off the feathers
and put them away separately, and-as
every home miliner knows-it is next to
impossible to get ostrich plumes back IN
the skillful manner of adjustment Of the
milliner. Big mothproof hat boxes are
now to be obtained in the departments
which sell mOthproof clothing bags. The
boxes fold fiat when not In use and when
opened out provide roomy, mothproof and
dustproof receptacles for the plume-trim-
med winter hats, or hats with any other
sort Of trimming that moth Or dust would
injure.
The Earring Craze.
THIS is the day of the earring, and all
femininity, from the youngest debu-
tante to the woman hanging on valiantly
to the last remnant of youth, has her
ears adorned with pearls, solitares, ca
buchons, pendants or the huge gold rings
which are startlingly barbaric in sugges-
ton. Some of the earrings are really very
smart and attractive, and to most women
the style Is becoming, The fad is to
match the hat with the earrings, and no
one pretends that the 'baroque pearls"
coral "emerald,' OF TURQUOISE ca
buchons and pendants are genuine.
Economy in Carpets.
IN choosing a carpet, if you are forced
to study economy. select one with a
small pattern and Of light color. The
small pattern cuts to better advantage,
for there is less waste in matching the
design as the breadths are sewn to-
gether. When the wool begins to wear
the light color will not contrast so pain
fully against the string foundation as it
would II it were many shades darker
There will also be economy in time in
the lighter, we'll covered carpet. Every
thread and speck of dust will not show
on it as in the heavy reds and blues.
Newspapers as Housekeeping Helps.
paper besides it's main raison d'etre-
the purveying of news, and the thrifty
housewife has special corner where all
the newspapers that come into the house
are kept, tidily folded and ready for use.
Newspapers are quite efficacious as moth
bags for protecting winter clothing and
voolen garments, laid away for the sum-
mer. Several thicknesses of the news
paper should be used to prevent danger
of tear. through which the willy moth
may find a way, and the packages should
be snugly sealed with paste or cord
never with pins
There is nothing like a newspaper to
put brilliant polish on glass and after
the mirrors and windows are washed and
dried brisk rubbing with a newspaper
will make them sparkle like crystal.
Newspaper may also be used to polish
lamp chimneys.
Every morning the kitchen range or gas
stove should be wiped off with news
paper to absorb grease and the bottoms
Of iron saucepans and other utensils may
be given preliminary scrubbing In the
same way.

Life Of Telephone Poles.

The average life of an untreated
seasoned pole depends so much
upon the kind of timber. its con-
dition when set. the character of
the soil and the climatic conditions
and these are so variable that

age life is difficult. Most compa-
MES can closely estimate the
average life of their poles as
controlled by their local conditions
by referring to their pole records.

Will the Mississippi Go Dry?

With the present stage of the
water two feet below the low water
mark of 1864, the Mississippi river
has ceased to present a formidable
appearance. The shallow places in
the main channel are only Is inch
es below the surface, and 8 inches
of this Is inCneS frozen solidly into
ice. This leaves a current of NOV
ing water in the channel just 8 in
Ches deep. 1t is the lowest point
ever touched by the noble stream
of which there is any record. Not
alone is the Mississippi at this low
stage, but the whole upper valley is
dry-holds less moisture than ever
known. The ground is so dry that
it does not freeze. Frost depends
for its existence upon temperature
and moisture, and you may dig
down 20 feet without finding mois-
lure. The upper Mississippi is fed
by rainfall, not by springs. This is
not the season for rains, and there
we're no fall rains. 1t has, beer

New Court and Clerk.

For the first time in many years
every member of the county court
of Monroe county retired from the
bench the first week in January.
Heretofore. one or more members
have held over. Judge B. F.
Vaughn, of the Eastern district;
Judge E. M. Lipp. from the West
can district. and Judge T. A. MCGEE,
from the county at large, began
their duties Tuesday morning On
account of an unavoidable delay.
Judge Vaughn did not reach Paris
until S o'clock Monday afternoon.
This made it necessary for the old
court to attend to the business that
day. Judge Jacob Walters. the
republican member who served out
Judge Umststtd's unexpired term,
continued as the Eastern districts
representative until Judge Vaughn
had formerly qualified on Tuesday
morning.
M. X. Outright was sworn in as
clerk to succeed j. N. Masruder.
C. P. Burnett will remain with him
as deputy for the present.
Monroe county has always been
fortunate in the personal of its
county bench but everybody agrees
that it has never had stronger
court nor a better clerk than the
ones Just installed.
Owing to the fact that very little
revenue will be available for bridges
this year, no contracts will be made
except where the need will not per-

body to enquire into the election.
will be opposed in the democratic
caucus by several leading lawyers
who are members of the senate and
house.
The opinion will not be officially
announced until the general assem-
bly, meets late this afternoon, but an
outline of the opinion was given by
a member to whom it was submit
ted. The democratic caucus is set
for 2 o'clock today, but as many
will not return to Jefferson
City until late this afternoon, it is
probable the session will adjourn
until tomorrow and that the caucus
will be held tonight
