STILETTO FOR WOMEN. Daititer In tbe Korin of Selaaura !■ Carried by Almost Every l.ady In Spuln. The Spanish are generally reputed to be a quick, hot-tempered race, a people who on small provocation resort to deadly weapons to avenge a wrong or silght. The stiletto, a small dagger with a keenly pointed, slender blade, is a favorite with these people, partly be cause of its size, and perhaps more be cause of its certainty, as its keen point and slender blade do not require much force to make it effective. These stilet tos are made in many styles, but the strangest to the American mind is one made as a pair of scissors. This is a form much affected by women, as it is doubly useful, and in the very nature of things is most likely to be near at band. They are made like an ordinary pair of scissors, except that the "shank," or SPANISH WOMAN'S STILETTO. that part between the finger loops and the rivet, is perfectly straight and is inlaid with pearl. Just at the point where the blades cross is a "guard" similar to the same thing on a hunting knife, to prevent the hand slipping when the instrument is used as a weapon. From the "guard" to the ends of the blades they are slender and ta pering to a fine point. When opened this is an ordinary pair of scissors, but when closed it becomes a perfect and a dangerous stiletto. * great many women always card ie scissors with them. They are car- ; n a sheath like any dagger, and in the bodice, where they are ( ly in case of need. The Span- r > c uanish-American woman is a bh ai* 1 resentful creature, and vev> i>a vo ,J%ed a most, dangerous one, i.w liesttate to draw her stilet to, and use it. They are very quick and expert in the use of this weapon, and woe to the luckless one who in curs their anger or hatred, for their thrust is sure and deadly.—Detroit Free Press. FANCY SILK GIRDLE. A New ami Attrnetlve Dewllfn in Dres den Silk llordered with l.aee Insertion. The girdle question is just now the most puzzling in the fashion world. One faction comes out for the pointed design while the other swears al legiance to the round little affairs trimmed with frills of lace and ribbon bows; and both are so pretty that the only safe course is to follow one's own fancy. A model that pleads more eloquently for the pointed girdle than wordfc could ever do is shown in the "Conventional." It fits the figure snugly and extends as far as the bust line at the top and to hips below the waist. It is divided by a sash of fancy ribbon tied in a bow at the back. The girdle opens at the front below the waistline and is bordered top and bottom with an insertion trimming of guipure lace. Ileal Way to Make Jelly. The only way one can be sure each *■ time to have satisfactory results in jei ly making is to keep trying the juice. Take a little out on a saucer, let it cool, and then examine it. It is a safer way than to trust to a given number of min utes. The condition of fruit is hardly ever twice alike, it' possible, when making jelly, put the fruit after it is cooked into a flannel bag and let it drain slowly. It is much more likely to be char than if squeezed or pressed out hastily. In making elderberry jel ly cook the berries till soft, then strain through a jelly bag. A thicker and bet ter flavored jelly is obtained by adding one-third grapes or apples. To every pint of juice add one pint of white sugar. To Whiten, the Keck. Eight ounces of rosewater, a quarter ounce of tincture of benzoin, two drops of attar of roses. 'I bis lotion, applied with a soft cloth on hands and neck, has a whitening effect upon the skin; but time and patience are required before '<e good result can be appreciated. THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL. The Dally llnlli mi Infallible Recipe for Clear Skin ami a Preah Co in|ilt'\lun. Cleanliness goes hand in hand with beauty, not mere cleanlinessof face and hands, but that which promotes the health of the whole body, keeping the circulation active and the complexion clear. The hot bath twice weekly, with the use of flesh brushes and such toilet aids as tend to improve and restore the nervous system and give "vigor to all functions, will be found a necesstrj groundwork for beauty building Cleanliness of the skin has a great ef feet 011 the proper assimilation of food by the body, for the tonic of a good bath reaches much farther than the skin, and the flesh is purified by the process and becomes smooth and firm as wax. Aromatic baths, which are begun with hot water and graduated to tepid and cold, are very invigorating. Perfumed tablets are sold by the drug gists, one of which dissolved in the water of the bath gives it a delicious and refreshing odor. Sometimes an ounce of ammonia added to a gallon of water will be found helpful. When the sponge bath or immersion does not agree with the system the sponge bath, with friction, is a good substitute. The hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an swer the purpose of the modern method of massage, especially where there is a lack of strength on the part of the subject or an objection to manipulation of strange hands. The sponge bath should never be hot, but should be be gun with tepid water, ending with a cool tone, not cold. If there is danger of taking cold the brisk rub with di luted alcohol w ill prevent it. The dry bath, where t here are serious objections to water, consists of dry rubbing, after which the flesh is rubbed with flannel dipped in toilet water, after which it is dried with Turkish toweling. Then there are the professional baths, the Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor bath, mineral water or sulphur bath, all good in their way and of value as health renewers. Any or all might be classed under the head of the beauty bath.—Chicago Chronicle. WOULDN'T STAND IT. I.lttle fJIrl Object* to Havine Her Pure Wimlied wltli a Saliva- Dampened Knit.

One Chicago woman re lates an incident which occurred the Ssllil THERE WAS A STKUGGI-E. other day while she was calling on a friend. The maid ushered her into the parlor and announced that "Mrs. would be in in just a moment."

New Pottery. Some new jugs of American manu facture are modeled after the old English "Toby" jugs. They are to be had in fine china, and also in heavier .<paqt:e ..'are, in all sizes, from the jug I illmay be used for a family water pitcher to a tiny size that may be used as a cream pitcher. These jugs all have the same form, are short and squat, and represent Napoleon in high-topped boots, waistcoat and breeches, with a dark chapeau upon his head. Dark am bers, green or gray, are T-olors of the most desirable jugs. Other "Toby" jugs and mugs made of jolly German and Irish faces would promote good cheer even if only filled with water. This kind of pottery is much liked for the mantel or buffet in bachelor "dens." To Make Glaunare Shine. Tumblers and wine glasses should be washed in hot water and rinsed in cold, and should be dried with a clean cloth as soon as possible, and when perfectly dry rubbed with tissue paper. For cruets, decanters, etc., tear up some clean newspapers into pieces about as big as ten-cent pieces, put into bottles, half-filled with warm water; give bot tles a rotary motion. W hen clean, de cant and a litlle practice throws out the paper. They will be as bright as new. To clean glasses—-wine glasses especially which have become dis colored on edges, use cigar ashes, fric tion and a damp cloth. A Reliable Home Tonic. Once a woman has become a convert to the lemon cure, many uses of this valuable toilet accessory suggest themselves to her. She will discover that nothing is so purifying to her complexion as lemon juice taken as a tonic. The juice of a lemon, taken without sugar in a large cup of very hot water, immediately ujjou rising, is the best of medicines. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1899 VENTILATING BARNS. Oae of the Bent Plana la to Have • Window In Kacli liable Knd of the lluildinic. Barns should have means of ventila tion, but it should be ventilation that can be controlled. One of the best plana is by a window in each gable end of the building, up. near the peak of the rcof. Have these windows arranged as shown VENTILATING DEVICE. in the cut, and they can be opened and closed at will from the ground floor. The triangular pieces nailed to the sides of the sash hold up the window a littla inclined inward, so that it falls open by its own weight when the eord is loosened. The same result could be ob tained by the usual sash that closes to a perpendicular positio but has a second cord running from .ne outer end of the iron rod down to the floor. Full ing on this cord would open the window while pulling on the pulley cord would close it, when the line could be fastened below.—N. V. Tribune. CLEAN MILKING PAYS. IntcrcMliiiK Experiment* Con«luete4 by Prof. 11. il. Oils, at the Kno tt 11 m Stnte Million. It is a well-known fact that cows nol milked clean will tend to dry up in shorl order. Another important reason foi milking clean is to get all of the huttei fat, which is contained in a much largei per cent, in the last than in the first milk drawn, as is shown by the follow ing experiment. The college dairy has conducted an experiment showing the importance of clean milking. Five cows were selected and their milk col lected in half-pint bottles, each teat contributing its share to every bottle. These samples were tested with the I'abcoeU test, with the following re sults: Cow No. G varied from .G of one per cent, to 7.2 per cent. Cow No. 10 varied from .2 of one per cent, to C.6 per cent. Cow No. 14 varied from 1.6 per cent, to 5.8 per cent. Cow No. 15 varied from 1.5 per cent, to G.B per cent. Cow No. 20 varied from .8 of one per cent, to 7.S per cent. The results show a gradual, although not entirely uniform, increase in the per cent, of fat from the beginning to the last of the milking, except with the last two samples drawn from each cow. Here the per cent, of fat would take a sudden leap, amounting often to a third or a half of the total variation. This shows very clearly how important >t is to get all the milk. By averaging the results it was found that the last quar ter of a pint was worth from three fourths to 1 '/> pints of milk first drawn from the udder. Moral: Milk clean and get fat.— D. 11. Otis, Kansas Experi ment Station. Applying; Poultry Mann re. Do not neglect to make use of the poultry droppings, savs the Farmer. There is no manure on the farm that equals it, and if properly gathered from droppings boards it will be en tirely free from weed seeds, a very im portant characteristic of fertilizers. A great many are afraid to use it, fear ing it is so strong as to burn up the plants which it is intended to benefit. There is only one proper method of ap plying poultry manure to the soil be fore planting, and that is broadcasting it upon the soil after plowing and thor oughly mixing it with the soil by har rowing. Applied in this way, the growth of the crops grown on that piece of ground will be simply won derful. It should be spread rather thin; at least a wheelbarrowful will go as far as a wagon load of coarse stable manure. The thicker it is spread tlx more thoroughly it should be harrowed into the soil. I.oaa from l*oor Mllkera. A good milker should have a strong grip in his hands. He will have it if he milks cows many years. The grip does not necessarily require very strong muscles, but it is the constant exercise twice a day which gives the muscles of the hands and fingers a development that nothing else will do. But if a hired man has not already such a de velopment of muscles as will make him a fast milker, do not employ him with the milking of cows as one of his du ties. While he is learning to milk a steady and fast stream he is drying the cow off, as after a time she will learn to hold up her milk, if only a little milk is left after each milking, the cow will very soon go dry. That will cost the farmer more than the wages of a good milker who will keep the cow to her standard until near the time to drop another calf. —American Cultivator. If you starve your cow your pocket so ok will be starved. PLANNING A DEPARTURE. An Author Who Would (irt Out of the Men ten Track and (jive the 1»««M Thins. "What we want," said the publisher, "is * good, realistic story of army life. Some thing that will show jusrt how events move among the sojdiers." "I see," said the author; "I was in the army myself. 1 know exactly how things are conducted." "Something that will thrill the reader to \ the marrow and make his hair stand on end." "I thought you said you wanted some thing out of the ordinary." "'] hat's what I am after." "Well, in that case, we won't have any thrill in it. Of course, it's there, but it comes so suddenly and is so soon over that you hardly have time to know what thrilled you. If you want to get right down to hard-pan realism and sound the keynote of the soldier's general experience, you ■want to leave out most of this description of a hero rushing headlong through strug gling men and over fallen horses, waving \ gun with one hand and the star spangled banner with the other, while singing 'My Country, _'Tis of Thee,' at the top of his voice. We'll get out of the beaten track of fiction and relate how many hours a day he spend currying his horse and polishing his weapons, and how many miles a day he traveled, and how often he wanted to talk bark and didn't dare, and how he would have been willing to give four dollars a square inch for a beefsteak, and all the rest of the little details which play so im portant a part and which writers of fiction have hitherto so strangely neglected."— Washington Star. A \nrrow Escape. The man with the court plaster on his nose was talking about a cyclone and what a narrow escape he had when one of the group asked: "Where were you when the cyclone hit your house?" "Down cellar," was the reply. "You knew it was coming and had fled for safety?" "(i/i. no! 1 had a jaw with my wife and she had locked me up in the cellar half a day previous." "And when the house went a-flying a frag ment hit you on the nose?" "Well, no. ,\lv wife hit me on the nose the day before she locked me up." 'Then what about your narrow escape from the cyclone?" persisted the questioner. "Why, suppose my wife had just come down cellar and hit me again just as the wind picked the house up and sent it sail ing!" answered the man with the nose.— Chicago Evening News.
