Th? wives of Amerlcnn statesmen are flf.it to be interesting women, and the public likes to know all about them. When a woman rises to a position of pron'.lrunoe nowadays almost the first quc-t'.on nsked Is, "Does she ride a 1)i'e?" Perhaps the woman most prominent, hrfore the public at thla Ume Is Mrr. Wlllinm Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln. NCb. It will please thou- I Bryan and her Wheel. rtids of wheclwomen to learn thn 7-'rs. Bryr.11 favor3 the wheel. She be lieves tin t many of the nervous disor ders to which women arc subject con fce avoided through a JutlieioU3 use of the bicycle. For herself she prefers a spin Just about sundown, when the cares and worries of the household are oTer. The Bryans Juniors are also crHIt8. William Jennings the second being, quite an adept. , ItcMleiM C oiivalrtcentK. Some excellent suggestions are made by a writer In one of the magazines, wTio fM'mmends various ways of be , inn tedious hours of a clilld'e couvale.-it. : i.ee. Mention is made of a U.tle br ho found great and lasting amuse:iic!,L in cutting out figures from a bunch of long, slender radishes, by carving them Into a wonderfully close Imitation of any animal he fancied. With a penknife he cut eyes, nose and mouth, using wooden toothpicks, cut into proper lengths, for ears, legs ana tails. This same laddie also made a ' v-ry lutK sting lot of animals some jl which wrre possessed of wonderful ; character and expression, from small, i ewcet potatoes, which are well shaped j for this purpose, and the dearest wee turtles Imaginable he manufactured I ircm raisins, with cloves for feet. I If the convalescent Is a little girl eho may not take kindly to the knife, but with a little help from her elders paper dolls may be made companion- ', able and the sick bed will be looked j back upon as the 110 3t fascinating . playground o ner l'e Veranda Cosies. The wirto veranda that sweeps about a fRimmer home In the mountains , shows what can be done with rustic i materials. All the furniture, Includ ing the table, is made of wood with ! the bark left on. The floor Is painted green. A tree growing against the j corner has had Its branches bent and j trained to stretch close against the posts on either side, thus forming a j natural screen of living green. Here I the cages of several pet birds are ! hung, to whom come as visitors the , wild denizens of the forest, the birds eager for the seeds which are scat tered on the rims of the trays, and even bright-eyed squirrels condescend ing to make a call for the sake of the nuti which are placed purposely In their way. A Iletuecly for licit Hands. Red hands are often benefited by be ing washed In oatmeal water that Is, take Bomo fine oatmeal, boil it In water for about an hour, strain, then night and morning use the liquid to wash In; It, however, requires to be made fresh every day, as It so soon turns sour, and smells very disagree able. For exceptionally red and harsh ' hands, a lew grains of chloride of lime j may be safely added to the soft warm ! water you wash them in, but reuiem- j ber to remove your rings, or they will be tarnl.shcd. lot l'lllow f u-ililun. Japanese crepe is an admirable and . Inexpensive material for covering pil lows. In dark blue, with large white j convention!) 1 iiowera wanuering over It, It is moat effective. Both chintz and cretonne inaho pietty pillows, and tho pillows coveied wiih plain ging ham are amors the favorites of the season. Sailn-covcrcd pillows are still In use. They are ivuulo very beautiful as well as costly by being appliqued with lace designs. Jn ( aiming Time. At canning time the filling of Jars mar be greatly expeiliated by the u-a of a grocer's funnel, and a small milk dipper is the best thing for ladling out the hot fruit or syrup. Never use a mblcr the t.eoond season if possiblo to procure new ones. When old ones ;.u;.st bo employed, drop them to soak a te.v i.i;:r.;tr.i In boiling water previ ous to using.

White pique chlrt waists are smart when worn with linen or crash skirts. The old-fnshionrd silk Irish poplins have gained a great popularity for street wear and for summer calling gowns. A full skirt with a perfectly smooth front-gore Is an acceptable mode tot transparent fabrics. Sailor collars are variously made with trlpple-polnted backs and slash ed backs, the same Idea being carried out In front. Smart wheelmen are now copying the Parisian fashion of providing a col. lar of silver bells for the handle bars of their machines. Conspicuous for tne beauty of Its design Is a hair ornament that blonds fine scroll work with light feathery sprays of single small stones. Numbered with Imported novelties Is a silver toast rack which can be ad Justed to the ordinary coffee cup. It accommodates two slices of toast. Every plumage that can possibly be utilized for the purpose will appear In bor.s. which will ho made of cut os trich feathers, of the Irrldescent breast plumage of the Poland duck, of black rand feathers, and of anything else that any variety of bird may suggest. It seems to be quite certain that the Jardiniere effect in ribbons will be superseded by molro ribbons In plain colors, and by velvet ribbons. Many of these latter will have broad central stripes of one color and inch wide bor der stripes of strong contrasting shades. Green will be popular, particularly the moss tones. Gray will be much worn, especially the silver grays. Deep violet will be a great favorite, and marine blues and neutral lilacs will be used, but black and white, separately and combined, will make the strongest appeal for approval. Fashions in cycling hats follotf closely upon the masculine modes. Pure white alpine shapes, made in strongly ribbed canvas and In soft felt, will be the fad par excellence. A white quill and a white galloon band will be the only trimming permitted. It Is well to add here that these deli rate hats may bo kept clean with a free use of French chalk, rubbod well into the felt, all the loose powder being nftenvnvd rubbed oif. For some time Jet ornaments have been eclipsed hy showy crystals, mods rubies, emeralds, topazes, pearls, etc, But they threaten to return In the fall In a series of now devices, taking the form of buckles, brooches, slides, and In numberless ways, declaring them selves quite the most useful and be coming milllnerv ornamentation, French cut rr"l, too. will be In high favor, bo'h as buckles and as a setting for mock precious stones. ")" Chniieronnge In Dixie. The American chaperon Is, as a rule, a much loved object ,and partleu larly Is this so with the Southern wo man. Attentions are always showered upon the youths and gallants of the South, and she remains always a de sirable addition to any party. All phaseaof a woman's social life pale Into misty inslgnillcr.nco beside the duties of a chaperon at a house party. Nothing short of an Inspiration can bo rolled upon in selecting the guests. One must know all tho events of the past that 'are of importance In the lives of tho people concerned, lest sev eral eriemie3, or two men in love with the same woman, or two women with one man, creep unawares to the party. Then the daily plans, what to do with them, etc. I asked one young wife, vho has a lovely home, and Is Justly famous for her entertaining, how she managed It all so happily. "Well," she said, "the house Is large, we have a good library and plenty of ham mocks, so I just let them all alone un til evening, when I have something of special interest arranged for." This is the ideal life of the English house parties perfect freedom in a charm ing horns. ..) Cleaning Woolen Garment). It often happens that woollen things, ft-hen wanted In a hurry ,are found to be soiled. It may be a shawl, blouse, or tennis flannels. What Is to be done? Get one pound of fresh bran and put It in the oven on a large flat dish, to get as hot as can be. Spread the article on a bare table. Get some one to hold It firm, then empty half the bran on the soiled parts, and with a stiff, clean brush, and the tips of your lingers, rub It In as quickly as you can whllo the heat remains. Then shake the urtlcle, and If not quite clean give It another dressing with fresh bran. Chicken liiich or ToiHt. Boll a chicken the day before, and with the broth prepare thicken soup. Next day cut the chicken into very small pieces. Cut into small dice two raw potatoes; put these into a frying pan with enough of the chicken broth to prevent burning. After ten mln utci' cooking add tho cut up chicken and a chopped pepper, and if too dry moisten with more of the broth left from the day before. Season with sal! and perper, amalgamate the Ingredi ents well together, turn out on thin slices of crisp tc.T3t and serve. j I.rttuee anil Tomato NhIikI. Choose bright, firm tomatoes, prel them aud place on Ice; select the white inner parts of lettuce; wipe each leaf, fold In a wet napkin and place on lee. When time to serve arrange lettuco in groups of two or three loaves each to form cups; Into each cup formed by the leaves put one heaping teaspoonfu) ot the dressing. Then cut the toma toes in halves and press the flat side of one half Into each spoonful of dress, ing, no that tho latter curls up over the edges of the tomato. Wrinkled lilovea.

When the ladies wat.t a notice of a church supper published they go to the local paper for a write-up. When a political party issues a call or holds a meeting it calls on the local paper for publicity. When an obituary of some loved one is wanted in print the local paper is called on. Society in general turn to the local paper for a written detail of all its movements. In fact, a thousand other things arc expected of the local paper, and yet we find many citizens so selfish that they will hesitate and often refuse to spend a small mite to support it, or give their job work in return for the many free notices they receive during a year's time. Secretary of the Navy, Herbert, on his return from Europe, said that in his visit to the foreign gun and steel works he had seen nothing to excel American manufacture, and he was convinced that the vessels of the American navy were second to none in the world.

A free supply of sugar will do this ; so will the starchy foods ; cream, and some other fats. But to become fleshy, and yet remain in poor health, is not what you want. Cod-liver oil increases the weight because it is a fat-producing food. But it docs far more than this. It alters, or changes, the processes of nutrition, restoring the normal functions of the various organs and tissues. of Cod-liver Oil with, hypophosphites, is pure cod liver in a digested condition. So that when a person gains in weight from taking Scott's Kmulsion, it is because of two things : First, the oil has acted as a fat-producing food; aud, second, it has restored to the body a healthy condition.
