ladies like to lead the f~ashion-by all

and dress everybody else nicely. Lead
the fashions for the poor first; make
them look well, and you yourselves will
look, in ways Of which you have now

ones their doublets are too irregularly

Her Pies Bother Her.

Dear Miss Doom
I have a great deal Of trouble with the
contents of pies running out IN the oven.
The burnt juice gives an unpleasant,
smoky flavor to the pie. Is there any
way that this can be prevented
YOUNG WIFE.
The trouble may be prevented by
taking a strip of cotton cloth, all the
better If somewhat worn. about an inch
and a half wide, and long enough to
go around the pie. The strip being wei
is put around the edge Of the pie, half
Of its width to lap upon the crust and
the other half upon the plate. This is
done before the pie goes into the oven,
and the strip may be removed when It
Is taken out or left on until It Is out.

ANNIVERSARY OF HANDKERCHIEF.

A curious anniversary which fell on
the second of this month has passed
unobserved. tt is the anniversary OF
the introduction OF the pocket hand
kerchief in the form we know 1t. In
early time n well up to the period
OF the French Revolution the handker-
chief was of various shapes, each coun-
try having its own style.
One day at the Trlanon Marie An
toinette remarked that 1t would be
an Improvement if handkerchiefs were
made square. Louis XVI. adopted the
suggestion and on January 2. 1885,, is
the following decree: The length
Of handkerchiefs manufactured in this
kingdom shall henceforth be equal to
the breadth" The revolutionists dis
turbed everything that savored OF
royalty. yet they did not interfere with
this decree. London Globe.

ingredients home and put them into a half
pint of good whiskey. Shake the bottle
and take a tablespoonful before each meal
and at bedtime" Results come the first

WORK COMMENCED on HOTEL,
Tool Houses Constructed and Digging
for Foundation Commenced.

Active work was this morning COM
mehced on the construction of the
new hotel, the work done being pre-
paratory TO work which will follow in
the near future on the hotel building
Itself. The carpenters were put to
work erecting abe tool houses and
workmen were digging down in the
ground to investigate the quality Of
soil with view to determine the
necessary foundation for the build
ing.
The grounds were laid off and show
the building to be big one. The
structure will face on Bartlette street
having frontage on that street of SO
feet three inches. The side will ex-
tend on Main street 1853 feet, there
being just room enough in rear Of
the building for vehicles to pass.
There are several trees on the grounds
which will have to be cut down and
removed and the whole will be leyeled
off before the concrete flooring is laid
on the surface of the ground.
Mr.. II. c. Stokes is foreman Of the
workmen in charge of the building
and Will see that the work is pushed
as rapidly as possible. A large force
of hands will be engaged as soon as
they are needed on the building. AL
ready some of the material has been
ordered and will be here in the next
few days, while the granite is now
being cut for the foundation and first
story Of the building.
Much interest is being taken in the
work by citizens and by the people
generally, many Of whom have stop
ped in passing to view the proceed
ings. Travelling men who make sum-
ter hopping point have been heard
to make favorable comments on the
fact that work has commenced and
the people generaliy seem glad that
the hotel is at last under way.
