A battling ailment found among

that the timber used possessed some
property injurious to health. and that
the sickness was due to some poison
given off by the wood. The symptoms
complained of were headache. sleepi-

chronic sneezing. giddiness. faintness,
loss of appetite, shortness of breath,

WHITE YELLED OVER BLACK
Smart MIIiners Give Distinctive
Touch to Their Productions by
Simple Arrangement.

White maline yelled with black ma
line has lately been seen on many OF
the creations of smart milliners, two
immense outstanding loops of the ma
terial being an Indispensable part OF
the decorations of any hat on which 1t
appears. Rhinestones are frequently
used with 1t and are extremely effec-
tive with the sombre tone produced
by the black over white. One hat is
made entirely of the maline and is
trimmed only with the two big loops
and a string Of large rhinestones
around the crown. Another model is
a tiny bowl of stretched black satin.
which is wound about she edge with
folds of maline and adorned at the
back with the two big loops. The
folds that surround the hat are held at
two points by big rings of rhinestones.
Brown maline over white is also seen,
having been used on one large hat
with crown of dark brown velvet
and a brim of gold lace. Voluminous
twisted folds of the maline encircle
the crown and two loops Of proper
tions to suit those of the hat cast
their shadow over it.

but all white is far less smart than
fabric introducing the gown color In
some manner, and as standby one
bodice in a silk exactly matching the
suit would be invaluable. This comes
in very handy for rainy days and for
the moment when white waist would
seem a little too commonplace. for
with a change of neck fixing the get
up can be made far more dressy.
Among the smart wash shirtings
whose patterns match the colors OF
the new suit materials are madras
and cheviot. the browns. blues and
plum tones of the pin stripes. checks
and dots and diamonds showing up
very handsomely against the white
background. Shirts in these fabrics
are always laundered without starcn
and very often the neck finish is IN
the form OF soft stock with ends
made for four-in-hand tie. Stiff linen
collars are likewise worn with soft
laundered shirts, and with silk and
flannel ones, but the woman who has
the beauty OF her throat in mind pre-
fers the more pliable stock OF the
shirt material or of Irish lace. for al
though lace neck fixing takes away
something of the distinction OF tall
ored waist the Irish stocks are much
worn.
For little extra occasions, when the
silk four-in-hand tie seems scarcely
dressy enough, there are charming
butterfly bows In plain and lace-edged
muslin and net, and girls who know
how to make their own little neck
fixings often turn these out from
bordered handkerchiefs and make
them In way SO that they wash with
out hurt. The pretty little brooches
and bows with ends Of satin howers
are still gayer neck fixings, and. be
sides being in excellent taste for oc-
casional wear, these are easily made
at home from any little fragment OF
gay satin or ribbon

Editor Remembers "uncle Remus."

On the grave of Joel Chandler Har-
ris, author of Uncle Remus. is clus-
ter of fresh flowers which bespeak the
deep sentiment felt for him by one Of
his friends. II. H. Kohlsaat. editor of
the Chicago Record Herald. Mr.. Kohl
saat was here recently that he might
visit the grave of his friend, and
himself place the tribute of flowers.
In speaking of Mr.. Harris. Mr.. Kohl
saat said:
when ! was granted the privilege
of an interview With Mr.. Harris. I
deeply appreciated It, He met me In
the city, and l went out to his home
with him. Approaching the front of
the house, an incident occurred which
was so illustrative Of the great mans
simplicity.
He lowered his voice slightly, and
asked: MIR. Kohlsaat, would you mind
going in the side way? A wren has
built her nest to one side there of the
front steps, and l am afraid If we go
too near we will frighten her away.
We went in the side way and his hos
pitality was as true and beautiful as
his quaint philosophy and stories."-

Lord Rosebery, Phrasemaker.

Lord Rosebery, master phrasemaR-
er, has credit for phrase which he
never originated. When he addressed
the editors of the empire at the White
City In June 5. 1900. he was reported
in many newspapers to have said that
Europe was rafting into barbarism." :"
A capital phrase. The word "rattling"
suggests bayonets, guns. and military
accoutrements; "barbarism" stands
for the mad competition in ornaments.
What Lord Rosebery said was that
Europe was "relapsing into barbar-
ISM" which is equally true but less
picturesque In the official report Of
the Imperial Press Conference. how
ever, the phrase used is "relapsing In
to militarism," which is obviously In
correct, as there was never so much
militarism in the history Of Europe, as
there is at the present time. While
Lord Rosebery said "relapsing into
barbarism." "rattling" has got such
start in the popular press that we
fear he will never be able to get rid
of it.-London Chronicle.

struggled in advance of his com
panions. and being almost famished
for water he found what is known as
"Bennett's Hole" this being on the
western bars of Death Valley. Ben
nett afterward made his way into
the foothills of the Panamint noun
tains, some 20 miles to the westward.
Here he found spring of good water
and camped. as best he could. to re-
cuperate. He was not prospector
but was attracted by the metallic
quality OF groupings that were IN
great quantity about the spring and
protruded in a mammoth ledge near
by.
When Bennett. after great hard
ships and wandering. finally made
his way out to settlements in the far

his friends afterward searched for

lives trying to find.
THE Peg-leg mine" somewhere in
southeastern California. is one of the
best authenticated and most famous
of all lost treasures of the desert.
Like an Ignis Fatuus 1t lures men
ever to the domains of the purple
mist, for there somewhere upon a
lone hillock lie Its heavy heaps OF
gold.
1t was "Peg-leg Smith," an old
prospector of the earlier days. who
first found this treasure, and though
crazed with thirst he reached civiliza-

alleged wealth and he finally died

In all the many and varied rewards
of diligence none are .,etter worth
while than those that walt upon dill
igent paper bag cooking. Ease is
one of them. deftness another. neat
ness in the kitchen still a third. 1t
is quite impossible to make mere
words convey all that this method
of cookery means-still more impos-
sible to set down all that its use will
teach you.
For example. Its use will teach you
how little art can improve on nature
in matter of fiavors. Paper bag cook
ing keeps In the flavor. intensites 1t,
and makes it the sauce of appetite.
Good digestion commonly waits on
appetite.
But there are other. things to take
into account. Not the least of them
is the saving to ones hands and ones
temper in the matter of washing up
after a meal.
Whether this falls to the cook. to
her mistress. or haply. to the gallant
man of the house, who thrusts him
self helpfully into the toughest part
of the work, the fact remains indis-
putable that pan scrubbing is hard
work, distasteful In the extreme and
bound to leave unpleasant reminders.
Pots and pans mean the use OF strong
alkalies. Without them the pots can
not be kept sanitary, No sort OF glove
yet devised will permit the free use
possible to the bare hand. The syl-
logism runs about thus wise: To
