Home Made Ruqs.

Any woman may make at very small
cost the most artistic rug to CORE
spond with any desired color scheme.
After cutting rags in the usual way,
sew them hit or miss, and then color
them. This will produce blended eff
feet of many tones of the same color
that is very effective. They should
have border of good, plain CORE
spending tone, with thread of con-
trasting color. These hit or miss rags
put through bronze green dye and
woven with a thread of old gold and
dull green border are beautiful
Blue and white makes a dainty COM
bination that, while delicate, will en-
dure laundering. Another lovely rug
is made by coloring the mixed center
in buff Edge this with narrow strip
Of old rose and have border of deep
shaded brown, edged with just a
thread of black. Many other artistic
combinations may be used to suit the
taste.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury Ohio.-"When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out on his cheeks. The eczema began
just with pimples and they seemed to
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch it
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
Disagreement while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as a sill
yer dollar on each side. He was so
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got little too warm at night it
seemed to hurt badly.

get any better. He had the eczema

Birmingham, Ala.-Recent cable
grams from Brussels setting forth the
escapades of the duke of Orleans
and the duchess suit for separation re-
call an incident of his career in Rich
mond twenty years ago.
One bright spring morning in 1893
something of a furore was created
among the passengers on the little
river steamer that piled between Nor
folk and Richmond when they learned
the identity of three distinguished
personages aboard. They were trav-
cling incog., but some one recognized
them as the count of Paris, his son,
the duke of Orleans. and his nephew,
Prince Henry of Orleans.
The elder had come over to revisit
battlefields along and near James

of General Mcclellan of the Union

dia. The old count pointed out and
expatiated on interesting places along
the historic route, scenes of notable
engagements in which he had figured
thirty years before, and became SO alb
sorbed in the memories that he did
not discover the keener interest mani
tested by the young noblemen in two
pretty sisters Of Richmond, one a
blonde and the other a brunette, viva
cious and fond of admiration.
Misses Ophelia and Louise Bulling-
ton betrayed sufficient interest to en-
holden young Evan Chesterman, fea-
ture writer for the Richmond Dis
patch, to offer to introduce them. Not
just then, though; the old count was
watching the youngsters with rigorous
solicitude. He was stern, proud, a
stickler for etiquette, never forgetting
that he was undisputed head of the
house of Bourbon.
Before the boat reached Richmond
however, plans : were arranged by
Chesterman for the party to call on
the girls at their home that evening.
Weary from travel, the count was cas-
lily persuaded to retire early, and was
tucked away. His room at the old Lex
ington hotel was across the hall from
that of the duke and prince. Nine
o'clock found him asleep, while a cab
with drawn curtains was hurrying the
party of three to spend the evening
with the beautiful sisters. Both the
young noblemen spoke good English,
and jolly party it was, with clever

SEEK TO BUILD CATS HOME
VIII Accommodate Between Fifty and
Hundred Felines-Pets Taken
to Board.

Spokane, Wash.-Plans are being
prepared by the Spokane Humane So
ciety for an elaborate cat house, which.
when completed in such details as sun
porches and promenade for felines,
will be the most unique and conven-
lent cat domicile in the Pacific north
west. Preliminary drawings already
drawn will be supplemented by sug-
gestions to be made following trip
by F. H. Holman, president of the so
ciety, to inspect the largest model cat
house in the United States, located in
New York city.
With this haven, the society will be
able to turn a few pennies by taking
in cats to board and lodge. In con-
nection with the institution, a COM
plete surgical ward is being built for
both cats and dogs. The new cat
house will be 26 feet long by II feet
wide, and will accommodate between
so and 100 of the pets.

His Farewell Speech,

James H. Wallis, "the fly man OF
Boise" has made Idaho the most sani-
tary and most flyproof state in the
Union.
Mr.. Willis, discussing his success
with a New York reporter, laughed
and said:
II have succeeded in eradicating the
fly by making all Idaho hate the fly,
even as poor old Dan Carson hated
his wife.
Poor old Dan lay dying. His wife,
melted a little for once, said to him:
you're going, DAN
Dan, his eyes closed, made no an
swer. His wife then repeated, with
sigh:
";'Dan, you're going, but I'll soon
follow you
Upon this Dams CLASSY orbs
opened, and he said in hollow voice:
"'You stay here as long as you
can"

Picnic Hint

To keep butter cold, take two pans,
one larger than the other, put the but
ter in the smaller pan, and set it into
the larger, in which put two table
spoonfuls of salt and enough cold wa
ter to reach to the top of the small
er pan. Soak clean flower pot in
water and cover the butter. Resoak
the flower pot every little while and
the butter will stay firm.
If you are in the country where
you can get hay, you will find hay
box good place to keep butter. Line
a box thickly with hay. Saturate the
hay with cold water. then set in the
crooks of butter, which, of course,
must be cold to start with. Cover
with more hay, and place blanket or
piece of carpet over all.

FOR SILENCE AT FUNERALS
League Is Formed in France to End
the Scandalous Disrespect
for Dead.

Paris.-A League for the Promo
ton of Silence at Funerals" has just
been founded in France by group of
persons who are Disguised with the
state into which the attendance at
burials, SO common feature of French
social life, has now fallen.
1t is stated that for some time both
religious and civil funerals have been
nosmore than rendezvous for friends
and acquaintance of the deceased
person to chat over affairs of mutual
interest. as if at a fashionable at
home.
On the, road to Pere Lachaise GENE
terry, it is said, business deals and
stock contracts are arranged, move
ments on the stock exchange decided,
political groups formed and even min
listers appointed.
At the funeral mass in the chapel
things are not much better Here
financiers employ their time to check
entries in their note books and liter
airy people take care to bring bundle
of proofs to correct.
The members of the new league
pledge themselves mot to speak at all
and to maintain a perfect and re-
spectful bearing from the beginning
to the end Of the proceedings"
The movement is receiving much
support, as it is agreed on all sides
that the present state Of things is
nothing short of scandalous. Some
sarcastic persons are suggesting that
among the fittest members for the
league of silence would be the singers,
who, under the pretense of honoring
the dead, make what is often an un-
seemly noise at funeral services.

of Woman Clad in Expensive
Clothing.

Boston.-The discovery at sea of
the headless body of an. extensively
dressed girl was reported by Capt.

WHALE HITS LINER
Big Leviathan Kills Self by the
Impact.
Raised and Shook Kaiser Franz Josef,
Over Titanic Grave, as If by
Tidal Wave-AIl Hands
Rush on Deck.

New York-The Austro-American
liner Kaiser Franz Josef came into
port here with large number of pas
sengers, much cargo, and story of a
whale of great proportions which tried
to butt the bottom out of the big liner,
and died in the attempt. The Kaiser
Franz Josef was shaken to such an
extent that the skipper, all of his junior
officers, half of the crew, and scores
of the passengers rushed on deck
in apprehension. Not until the dead
body of the giant mammal was seen
floating away to windward did the
skipper and his men know what had
been under them
The account of the whale is vouch-
Gustav Millimoth, the first officer of
the Kaiser Franz Josef. who at the
time of the commotion happened to
be entering on the log the fact that
the big liner was at that moment
passing over the grave of the Titanic.
While he was still making this entry,
the liner suddenly lurched upward, as
If lifted by tidal wave. The ship
shook from stem to stern, and Cap
tain Gerolomich, who was in his cabin,
jumped to the bridge
The passengers deserted smoke
room, lounges and stateroom and
crowded the decks. In about five min
utes the cause of all the trouble float
ed out from under the ship. 1t was
whale at least 70 feet long, and a great
cash in the middle of it's back showed
what the collision with the steamship
had done to it. Those of the passen-
gers who had cameras snapshotted
the dead monster, and these photo
graphs were shown. They showed
giant whale floating in the water, and
close look made it possible to see
the great wound that ended it's life.
The Kaiser Franz Josef had among
her passengers the Baron Bella Won
Hazan, son of the Hungarian min
lister of war. Baron Won HaZan is
here on a short vacation, the principal
object of which is a chance to view
Niagara Falls. He saw the whale.

STYLE WRITING HEREDITARY
Science Wakes Up to a Fact That
the Public Have Long
Ago Realized.

London. --Non-scientific persons have
long realized the remarkable similar
ity in handwriting of members of the
same family, sometimes lasting for
half dozen generations, and now,
1t seems, science is at last waking up
Sir Hickman Goodlee, president of the
Royal College of Surgeons, said:
Il have lately been reading old let
ters dating back to the early part of
The eighteenth century, and 1 have
been struck with the way in which
mere handwriting is handed down
from father to son, and mother to
daughter.
ut is possible to trace quite clearly
my greatgrandfather's writing in that
of my cousins and my fathers and my
own. If mere handwriting is thus
transmitted, together with the tone of
the voice and the shape of the nose,
the question arises whether any one
need be ashamed of his defects, sorry
for his misdeeds, proud of his sue
cess, or satisfied with the conscious
ness of virtue. We may feel the long
arms of our apelike ancestors stretch
ing out Of the past and molding our
characters. We may read all that
has ever been written about free will
from the time of Aristotle, and we
may hug the notion that our actions
have been predestined from the nebu-
lous state of our planet.
"But 1t makes no difference to us.
We are still doggedly convinced that
by taking thought we can add one
cubit to our stature, or at any rate
prevent it being one cubit less"

HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO SAY
Under the Circumstances Captain
Could Hardly Be Blamed for
Preserving Silence.

Everybody in Middle Bay knew that
Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking
about making a visit to her married
daughter in Cincinnati. She had been
talking about it for two years, but
age and the natural timidity of a
woman unused to travel had post
poned the great event from month to
month, until the neighbors began to
wonder whether it would ever come
to pass
So one morning, when Uncle Billy
Evans met Captain Liscomb in Eccles'
store, there was twinkle in his eye as
he asked:
"When's Mis- Liscomb going out to
Ohio, Daniel?"
Don't ask mel" returned the cap
tain, little peevishly. II don't know

AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum.

An old faithful nurse and an exper-

During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork, l
became a victim OF insomnia, In a
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as
baby.
In three months J had gained TWEEN
ty pounds in weight. l now use Pos
tum altogether instead of tea and cof-
fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit.
Having a little tendency to Diabe-
ties, used small quantity of sacchar-
Inc instead of sugar, to sweeten with.
I may add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients, on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-
erage.

that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there Is
nothing equal to Postum"
