Furs Cheaper Next Year.

The bids for furs are going on in
london today and will probably be
finished tomorrow. From reports
the fur houses that shipped to Lon
don we can say that the price of
furs for the coming season will be
much lower than they were last
year. In some cases the fur will
sell for half as much as it did last
season.
The lowering prices of course is
due to the great number of animals
trapped this season. The raccoons
caught this year number 1880
compared with a catch of 97,549
during last season. The same COM
parison can be made in the case of
many other of the smaller animals

Hints for Housewives.

Never have potatoes, hominy
and rice at the same meal.
Beans and peas are too much
alike to be used at the same
meal.
Pearl tapioca makes a delicate
and excellent thickening for soups.
Apple sauce should always be
eaten to counterbalance sausage
and pork.
The light desserts are the plain
and stewed fruits, gelatins and
junkets.
A little borax dissolved in warm
water will keep the children's teeth
clean and sound.
Knives are cleaned more easily
and thoroughly with soda added to
the securing brick.
A hot water platter is a boom to
the housewife whose men folks"
are frequently late for dinner
The business mans lunch of a
glass of milk and a piece of apple
pie is really well-chosen meal
Rub the ends of the ribs of the
umbrella with vaseline where they
are fastened. This prevents rust.
The dessert that fails in its ap-
peal to the palate is a wasted at
tempt. for desserts are eaten for
pleasure, not hunger.
Wet the kitchen stove while cold
with cloth dipped in kerosene oil;
then apply the blacking. The stove
will keep clean much longer,
/ When hot cloths are needed con.
Stantly in time of sickness, keep a
colander full of them over a kettle
half full of boiling water Keep
the kettle covered on the back OF
the range.
Colored goods should be ironed
while damp and upon the wrong
side. Delicate colors should not
be subjected to hot irons, because
this fades them quite as much as
hanging them on the line in the
sun. Elk.

There is something missing from
the life of a boy who has never had
a dog and from the life of girl who
has never had a rag doll. The boy
who has never had a chance to
worry loving pup around, wander
ing thru the woods soaring up and
digging for wood chucks- such a
boy enters upon the stern duties of
life suffering a serious handicap.
He hasn't learned a lot of needed
lessons in fidelity and love and SER
vice. There is 40 better teacher
of those things than a dog for the
dog teaches by example instead OF
by precept. The boy who has been
compelled to spend his days adorn-
ed in spotlesS linen, and prevented
from getting out and digging in real
dirt; who has never a chance to
climb trees and wade in mud pud-
piles; who never goes in the deep
woods or driving from an old stump

Earth's richest treasures are yet

Earth's bravest battles are yet I'M

But, see, at The sound of each ring

How the factories hum and the
hearth fires glow!
A black proved man in a humble

Sits naticntly tending an ancient

But, see, from his hand what hues
arise
OF tapestry rich in Eastern dyes!

And toi's in his field from morr

What To Do For Sick People.


Dear little Christmas bride, did
you ever have the care of a sick
person? Would you know what to
do in the black midnight hours if
husband were to be taken suddenly
ill? I'll tell you my remedy for many
ills hot water.
For vomiting, give hot salt water.
For sore throat, gargle hot salt wa
ter. For a severe pain, cloths ap-
piled that are wrung from water
hot as can be borne For a cough,
hot cloths applied to the chest For
a bad cold, place the feet in foot
tub of hot water. For high fever,
if threatened with spasms, apply
cold wet cloth to head, hot wet
cloth to stomach and place feet in
very hot. Rub dry with rough
towel and apply alcohol or some
stimulaEt by pouring into palm of
hands and rub the limbs if patient
has symptoms of heart failure.
For a severe pain, there is moth
ing like rubbing just with palms OF
hands.
Never give strong drugs except
where directed by a physician
When a doctor is called to see q
patient, tell the doctor exactly what
has been given, also what was eat
en- at the last meal
EPSON salts should be given the
| first thing, to clear the stomach OF
any undigested food. Often the sim.
pie home remedies are all that's
needed and a doctor bill is saved il
the ruling head knows what to dc
in time. Rural World.
