NEW COTILLON FAVORS.
Silk Kltilion and Wootl Have Taken

Cotillon favors for the coming spring
end summer cotillons, says the New
York Herald, have all been arranged by
the expert* at home and abroad. Crepe
paperand chiffon of the last season have
"gone out" and silk ribbon and wood
have taken their places. Ileal golf
sticks, balls, etc., will be a feature of the
cotillon season.
Spangled satin sashes are another
novelty in the favor field. Those have (
the true Parisian touch to them and are
made of ribbon of every conceivable
evening hue. Double-faced sat.in rib
bon eight to ten inches wide is used,
and each sash requires at least two
yards and a half. They are tied, for
the convenience of the maiden who re
ceives one, in a h#ge bow, with very
long ends, and the proper thing will
be for the girl to slip them on her arm
while she is dancing.
Two "nouveautes" that will be used
•re exceedingly grotesque. Both are
cotillon dollies of small size.
For the girls there is the powder puff
doll. This little manikin is made of
beeswax, a nail file and a powder puff.

pretty doll's face is used for the head.
A tiny cap is put upon it. The head to
the waist position is the nail file and
below is the powder puff covered with
a skirt of flowered calico or cambric.
More amusing by far, however, is the
rtioethread spool doll the men will get.
The head of this doll is the back of the
bowl of a pipe with a face painted on it
end a cap of calico tied about the face.
The stem of the pipe is fitted down into
the hole that goes through the center
of the spool, which is cut out as much
as possible. Over the spool a skirt
of calico is fitted and over the pipe stem,
just below the bowl, is a kerchief of
white. At once there it a jolly-looking

FURNISHING A HOME.
The Very E»»ence of K!«-Rnni-e, Sa>-a
Mr. Iluk, Liea In the Simplicity
of Arruiitteiuent.
"There is no idea more wantonly er
roneous than that it requires a liberal
expenditure of money to have a com
fortable and artistic home," writes Ed
ward YV. Bok in Ladies' Home Journal.
"The very essence of elegance lies in
simplicity, it is not art to make a par
lor the duplicate of an exhibition room
in a furniture store. That simply calls
lor an outlay of money and a failure to
exercise taste. There is no tone in such
a room, no air of repose, no comfort, no
individuality. It speaks for what it is,
an exhibition. True art in furnishing
is found in allowing a home to slowly
develop under the tastes of those who
live in it—the adoption of an idea here,
another there. The development of
taste requires time and cultivation. So
Louse worth living in can be completed
at one time. A home of comfort un
folds itself, so to speak, and unfolds
slowly. True improvement comes in
this way, and only in this way. Young
married people cannot bear this fact in
mind too strongly when furnishing
their homes."
Cooklnjc Fruit* for Children.
"Baked apples may be used where
they agree with children, and a raw
scraped apple may be given," writes
Mrs. S. T. Korer on "Proper Cooking
for the Nursery," in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "Bananas should always be
cooked, unless they are very ripe and
the skins quite black. To bake a ban
ana nicely you should have a porcelain
or granite baking-dish. Strip the
6kins from the bananas, place them in a
dish, sprinkle over a tablespoonful of
sugar; add four or five tablespoon!'uls
of water, and bake in a quick oven for
twenty minutes, basting once or twice.
Serve warm. Blackberry jam, if prop
erly made, is quite an important uurs
ery food."
Improving a llclnxed Skin.
When the skin has a tendency to be
coarse and greasy, overheated rooms
should be avoided and the pleasure of
sitting over the fire should not be in
dulged in. To tighten the skin and
close the enlarged pores make a lotion
thus and apply it once or twice a day
after washing the face: Infuse a quar
ter of an ounce of dried rose petals
(which can be obtained from any large
drug store) in two ounces of pure
white wine vinegar for twenty-four
hcurs; strain through muslin, squeeze
the petals well and add two ounces of
rectified spirits of wine and eight
ounces of rosewater.—B&iladelphla
Ledger.
Some women ry themselves gray

A standing collar must be worn with

HOME CALISTHENICS.

Every girl ought to be able to let hei
elbows meet at the back, though few
can manage it, says a writer in Leisure
Hours. No girl should use dumbbells
without skilled advice as to the weight
they should be. Much harm has beec
done by overworking the muscles ir
calisthenic exercises, and there are so
called professors of the art who dc
more harm than good. Sometimes th(
weight of the heads is too great, and
very often the exertion is much to<

Itevlvnl of Corul Jewelry.
Queen Margherita of Italy intends tc
be seen a good deal this season wearing
coral jewelry, in order to encourage ar
industry which of late years has some
what fallen upon evil days. It would
not be surprising if the fashion wen
to spread to London, as coral is becom
ing to almost any complexion, and can
of course, be had in any shade, from i
rose pink so delicate as to be almost
imperceptible up to a vivid red. If s
revival of the dainty old filigree setting
should also set in, the outcome shouic
mean some pretty things of a kind that
would be quite a novelty to the girli
of to-day.

MILK BOTTLE RACK.
lluw to I>o Annj with the I'oHMilillltj
of Conveying; Itim-ane by Mean*
of Mottle*.
There has been considerable talk in
Philadelphia relative to the efforts of
some to have the bottling of rnilk
stopped and to —•••irn to the old dip
milk system of delivery. The objec
tions advanced were that, as the bottles
go from house to house, and as disease
and contaminating influences may sur
round the bottles in some of the many
plaees where they are delivered, they
might be the carriers of disease. This
objection is by no means a bad one,
and everyone handling milk in bottles
should see that proper.precautions are
taken to avoid trouble from this source.
At least 90 per cent, of the milk handled
in bottles to-day runs considerable risk
in this direction, as the general custom

RACK FOR MILK BOTTLKS.
is simply to collect the bottles promis
cuously, get them all into a tub of
soaped water of some character, wash
one bottle after another with the same
brush, put them in a rinse water all to
gether, then into the cases, and put the
dirty covers down, leaving the bottles
open and giving opportunity fur the
dust and dirt from the covers or bot
toms of the old cases to drop into the
bottles.
With just a little mo.; trouble and
with but a very slight expense the bot
tles can be so handled that there need
be no trouble whatever from any of
the objections offered lu the line of the
bottles being possible carriers of dis
ease germs. Every dairy, no matter
how small, is incomplete without the
use of steam, and when a dairy is
equipped with this it is but a little more
expense to have a sterilizer built. This
need be only a simple wooden struc
ture, and be made to suit the space at
hand. It can be so arranged that, as
the bottles are brought in, they can im
mediately be putin the sterilizer, care
having been taken that the bottles have
been carefully rinsed at the places
where they have been collected, by the
customers. After the bottles have been
sterilized they can then be washed in
the alkaline hot water and then rinsed
in two other waters, great care being
taken in the last rinse water used; this
should be frequently changed.
After the bottles are rinsed they
should again be placed in the sterilizej
and subsequently aired and sunned just
as milk cans are treated. A system by
which the dust is kept out and the air
allowed to circulate freely is by the
use of a rack as shown in the cut. This
bottle rack may be so made that it can
be run right into the sterilizer; thence
the bottles can be easily putin good
circulating air and then brought to the
most convenient place for filling. This
rack may be made to hold 400 bottles,
or less or more if necessary. With
these precautions the possibility of con
veying disease through the medium of
the bottles is very slight, and the dairy
man will find that the increased con
fidence placed in him by his customers
will help his trade materially.—Rural
New Yorker.
HORTICULTURAL HINTS.
The English ivy does not harm a tree
on which it grows.
See if a little less vateron irrigated
land will not be better.
Fruit when placed in cold storage
should be firm and hard.
Sprinkling plants with water, when
frost is expected will protect them.
Pears to be putin cold storage should
be picked before they begin to ripen.
Watermelons ought not to be grown
on the same ground oftener than three
years.
The grape vine trained to a single
stake has never done its best in our ex
perience.
Tomatoes are so hardy that they may
be transplanted even after the fruit
begins to set.
if grapes have been planted too close
ly and become too thick, better take
out every other vine.
The man who gives plants of all
kinds plenty of room and heroically
thins his fruit, will get the best re
sults. — Western Plowman.
Art of Milkluv Com.
In the first place, brush off the cow's
bag dry and clean, but gently. Next
see that your own hands are clean; use
soap and warm water. Do not wet the
cow's teats, certainly not by dipping
your fingers in the milk as you proceed.
It is a bad and intolerable habit. Do
not converse with anybody, especially
another milker; it will hinder you, or
both, and it disturbs the cow. Never
strike a cow; speak low and gently to
her; she is responsive to kindness.
.Never feed her just before milking;
that is to say, while you are milking.
Feed her before milking, and wait un
til she Is done feeding; she will stand
quieter. One thing at a time. Milk
her as quickly as possible and as clean
as possible, but be careful not to hurt
her teats. Give her a name and always
call her by that name. These are small
hints, but it pay* to heed them.— At.

Public CloeUs.
Few great cities of America are mU lately
provided with public clocks of such a size
and so prominent location as to indicate the

it is high time to cheek kidney and bladder

Stomach Hitters remedies this as it does dys
pepsia, rheumatism, constipation, bilious
ness and nervousness.

way, "that your charge of $750 for this opin

"No doubt," said Air. Brief. "Rut you

an opinion which violates all my convic
tions, you've got to pay not only for your
law, but for my conscience."—Harper's

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science lias been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
L-oustitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Cai.ikoiima Fio Svbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Califoknia Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. I n order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

BEWARE 112 MORPHINE.
Mrs. Pinkham's Urgent Appeal to
Suffering Women.
She Asks Them to Seek Permanent Cures and
Not Mere Temporary Relief From Pain.
Special forms of suffering lead many a woman to acquire the mor
phine habit.
One of these forms of suffering is a dull, persistent pain i:i the
side, accompanied by heat and throbbing. There is disinclination
to work, because work only increases the pain.
a nis is only one symptom of a chain of
troubles; she has others she cannot bear to ta
confide to her physician, for fear of _
an examination, the terror of all sen
sitive, modest women. j [ / \ \ \
The physician, meantime, knows )l55£A 1
her condition, but cannot combat her \ (V\\)// 112
shrinking terror. He yields to her
supplication for something to relieve
the pain. He gives her a few mor- ( Vb
phine tablets, with very grave cau- V
tion as to their use. Foolish wo- W
man! She thinks morphine will \1
help her right along; she becomes its slave! \
A wise and a generous physician had such \
a case; he told his patient he could do nothing I \
for her, as she was too nervous to undergo » I \
an examination. In despair, she went to II
visit a friend She said to her, " Don't give \ \
yourself up; just goto *.he nearest druggist's
and buy a bottle of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with the first
bottle." She did so, and after the fifth bottle her health was re
established. Here is her own letter about it:
"I was very miserable; was so weak that I
could hardly get around the house, could not do
any work without feeling tired out. My monthly
* periods had stopped and I was so tired and nerv
ous all of the time. I was troubled very much with
falling of the womb and bearing-down pains. A
y friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound; I have taken five bot
ties, and think it is the best medicine I ever
/ used. Now I can work, and feel like myself.
I used to be troubled greatly with my head,
but I have had no bad headaches or palpita
tion of the heart, womb trouble or bearing-down pains, since I com
menced to take Mrs. Pinkham's medicine. I gladly recommend the
Vegetable Compound to every suffering woman. The use of one
bottle will prove what it can do."—MRS. LUCY PEASLEY, Derby,
