JOHN C. HUBINGER. Rtnirkabie Career of a Wrll-Kaiim Western Capitalist, Mnunfaot* »rrr and Philanthropist. Among the leaders of the progressivi clement for which the midle west is famous, ilr. John C. Hubinger, of Keo kuk, la., reigns without a peer. As • manufacturer, as an enterprising 1 cap italist and as a philanthropist his famt has spread over many states, and his financial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into progressive, thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr. Hubinger, although but 47 years o: age, can look back upon 6cores of com mercial victories, each one of which liu benefited mankind, for his liberality ij as bountiful as his business sagacity is marvelous. He was born in NevV Or leans, La., his parents being of French and German origin. When he was four years old, his family removed to Ken tucky, in which state young Uubinger received a public school education. Al tnost before reaching man's estate he secured patents on a number of val uable mechanical inventions, thereby laying the foundation of his present fortune. By inclination and force of circum stances his attention was early direct ed to the manufacture of starch by im proved processes, and in the course of time he became the head of a concern having an annual business of millions of dollars. But genuine ambition never quite satisfied with existing con ditions, works ever toward perfection, and after years of painstaking study and research Mr. Hubinger has made a JOHN C. HUBINGER. filseovery, which he considers the crowning event of his wonderful career, and which is embodied in a new article of commerce, known as *?ed Cross Starch (Red Cross trade 1 rk.) He is planning to distribute * n . 1 lions of packages of this starch to v housewives of America, at a merely j >al price to the consumer, in order »°-; k y its merits known without de j° | iVus, for but 5 cents two large 10c pac«Mr s Red Cross Starch may y.rj'bad. together with two magnificent hakespenrean views printed In 12 beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20 cents 10 packages of the starch and the entire series of eight Shakespearean Tiews and one Twentieth Century Girl Calendar —views alone easily worth SI.OO. Watch this paper for future premium announcements, of which every lad3 r will certainly want to talca advantage. While Mr. Hubinger will devote his best energies to the manufacture of this new and wonderful starch, he will not retire from the various financial enterprises in which he is interested—■ street railways, electric lighting plants end the Missisisppi Valley Telephone Co., with 10,000 telephone subscribers in Minneapolis and St. Paul—nor will his augmented activity interfere with his social obligations and exercise of the splendid hospitality which he dis penses at his palatial Keokuk home. Mr. Hubinger's family, consisting of himself, wife and four children, is the pivot around which his activity re- Tolves, and while fond of promoting great enterprises, he is still fonder of his home circle, where he spends every moment of time not taken up by busi ness or public cares. Which Was the UlKftmlat. A prominent resident of Chicago spending his summer holidays in the eastern prov inces dedicated to the memory of the fa mous men and women who formed them selves into the philosophic workers and dreamers of Brook Favm encountered in the residence of Emerson two other promi nent residents of the city on Lake Michi gan, both of them judges of note and both living on the West side. The two jurists were accompanied by three attractive ladies unknown to the solitary prominent resident who first claimed attention, and after an interval of exclamation and greeting one of the judges turned and with a sweeping ges ture introduced the ladies: "Mr. Dash, these are our wives."—Chicago Chronicle. I'IIOURUSS. With time, comes progress and ad vancement in all lines of successfully conducted enterprises. Success comes to those only who have goods with superior merit and a reputation. In the manufacture of laundry starch for >, the last quarter of a century J. C. Hubinger has been the peer of all others and to-day is placing on the market the finest laundry starch ever offered the public under our new and original method. Ask your grocer for a coupon book which will enable you to get the first two large 10 cent packages of his new starch, RED CROSS, TRADE MARK brand, also two of the children's Shakespeare pictures painted in twelve beautiful colors as natural as life, or the Twentieth Century Girl Calendar, all absolutely free. All grocers are authorized to give ten large packages of RED CROSS STARCH, with twenty of the Shakespeare pic tures or ten of the Twentieth Century Girl Calendars, to the first five purchas ers of the Endless Starch Chain Book. This is one of the grandest offers ever made to introduce the RED CROSS laundry starch, J. C. Hubinger's latest Invention. Rome men work hardest trying to areon* uaelesi thmgg.-~Gkicago Dally Ntw* WOMEN IN THE ORIENT. tmuiiK the Hindoo* Tliey Have Ku 111 (<■ rent in Heaven and Very Lit tle in KCurtlily Thing*. The Mohammedan peasant woman is spared all the jealousy and misery of sharing her title of wife with others, since her husband cannot afford to in dulge in polygamy, though a Moham medan of the better class may indulge in as many as four wives at a time, but it is not supposed to exceed that number. However, he can have just as many wives in his lifetime as he pleases, since he may resort to divorce on the smallest pretext, and as frequently as he chooses. A Hindoo is generally supposed to have but one wife, but should she bear him no son within seven years he may take another; also for other reasons, sometimes the most trivial. The high est rank of the Hindoos are privileged to take as many wives as they like, and, since each wife brings him a good dowry, one of these aristocrats will wed as many as 100 wives, sometimes marrying all the eligible members of one family, and even engaging himself to 20 brides in one day. In addition to the work of the house hold the woman always engages in some remunerative employment, such as picking, cleaning, spinning or weav ing cotton, in company with others, or she makes vermicelli, weaves baskets, manufactures fans, or embroiders cliaddars and caps with silk, in her own home. Her costume varies according to her religion, race and rank, and so nu merous and minute are the differences in dress that in the case of a man even his occupation may be known by his clothing. Women of all ranks make a great dis play of jewelry, the rich wearing gold and precious stones, and the poor either silver or some manufactured material of little value. Numberless rings adorn the ears, nose, fingers and toes. A HINDOO WOMEN OF THE BETTER CLASS. necklet, a score of bracelets smd two or three anklets encircle '.he neck, arms and ankles respectively. Sundry ornaments are also placed in the hair. The bracelets most commonly worn ore made of glass ornamented with col ored shellac. The necklet is often com posed of the current coin, but the size increases and diminishes with the fluc tuations of the income. Having no individuality apart from her husband, a woman is practically an irresponsible creature, except that should she have the ill grace to out live him she is blamed as the cause of his dealli, but then the circumstances are quite beyond her control, since it is the consequence of some crime of which she is guilty in a former ex istence, and therefore must be accept ed as her fate in her present life. She takes no part in public worship, and they say that serving a husband is the wife's religion, for that to worship the husband is to worship the gods. She only takes part in such ceremonies as relate to her position as wife and mother. In recognition of the superiority of the man an Indian woman always sits on a lower seat than her husband. Shi' walks at a respectful distance behind him, and never presumes to eat with him, always preparing his food and waiting upon him while he eats it, be fore she gives any thought to her own meal. It is not thought correct for a woman to >|tter her husband's name. The laws of llindooisni teach that a woman must at no period of her life do anything according to her own pleas ure, since in childhood she is dependent upon her father, in youth on her hus band, and in widowhood on her sons, or, should she have no sons, on the kins men of her deceased husband, or on other male relatives, and failing all such relatives she becomes dependent upon the rajah." Mohammed wrote: "Men shall have the preeminence above women, because of tiiose advantages wherein God hath caused the former to excel the latter." In view of all this the struggle of our own women for "her rights" has a somewhat humorous side to the un prejudiced onlooker.—Cincinnati En quirer. WltMliliiK Knuckle*. 'There is a new appliance which seems likely to lighten the labor of laundresses. Half a dozen rubber balls about an inch in diameter are suspended beneath a handle so that they can revolve independently of each other. The clothes are soaped and spread over a board, and the "washing knuckles" are then rolled up and down them with pressure, quickly removing dirt. They will certainly not fray linen as brushes do, and may be used on delicate fabrics with safety. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, ißg 9 LININGS FOR CASKETS.

And by this treatment the casket can I* impressed into service as both a re ceptacle for valuables and a pin cush ' ion. Three separate linings are made, each a size larger or smaller than the other, according to the size of the first lining ; cut. It is better, however, to start with PATTERNS FOR CASKET LININGS. the smallest, then the size can be more evenly regulated. The jewels are laid between the first and second linings and the third is covered with silk to serve as a cushion cover. The advisability ol placing valuables between the first and second linings can readily be recog nized, as the existence of a second com partment would never be suspected after raising the cushion lining. WEEDS GOOD TO EAT. In Europe Many of Them Are Consid ered OelleneivH and l'*cd a* Hare Flavoring*. Go out on any farm and see the farm er hoeing away at the weeds that threaten to choke his crop. You may i hear him say things that wouldn't j sound nice about the weeds. The dandelion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat. Take wild cherry, the plague of the farmer. It makes one of the fin est salads served, piquant, tender and wholesome. Charlock, or wild mustard, is another bane of the farmer. lie doesn't know that as a pot herb it can give a soup a delightful flavor. The dockweeds —how annoying the whole family are! Yet the broad leaf variety and the curly leaf are used all over Eu rope as table vegetables. There's pokeweeds, commonest ot them all. In France it is cultivated. It takes its place with sage, thyme, pars ley and bay leaves as a flavoring for soup. Everybody in America hates a nettl» and can't see what use it is. In Scot land, Poland and Germany tendei young nettle leaves are used as greens. The Germans boil it with other vege tables to give them a piquant flavor Purslane is another weed that can bt, treated the same way. -Most people think milkweed poison ous. It is a medicinal vegetable with a delightful flavor all itsown. The young leaves tefcrai they are in just the right condition, are a cross between spinach and asparagus, and in a salad are de licious. Sorrel, fetticus and chevril art looked on as field pests by ninety-nine out of every hundred farmers.

While many a housewife has made it her habit to lay away the bed linen in lavender scented closets, it was not until recently that the perfumed pad invaded the bed itself. This pad is a thin quilted affair, which has one layer of cotton plentifully besprinkled with I the favorite scent—either rose, laven- I tier or violet —in a sachet powder. J From time to time the powder is re newed around the edges. The pad is laid between the mattress and the lower sheet. Pillows are also opened at the : corners and sachet powder shaken into ! the feathers. Those who are fond of the smell of pine woods gather pine needles during the summer and use I them about the wide hems of the pads [ and pillows, making-special little sacks . for the needles and filling- them in flat. Mollis llautri] by Perfume. It has become known to the wise ones that the destructive moth despised the pleasant fragrance of perfumes. For this reason the pungent and dis- ' agreeable remedy is not always neces sary to rid wardrobes and closets of the ruinous insect. The mixture which is said to work this magical result is pre pared as follows. Take one ounce each of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, caraway seed, mace and tonka beans, pound to powder and mix them with six ounces of orris root, which must also be in powder. These ingredients may be obtained ready crushed at a druggist's. A 1(11 of L-'uNII lonn lile Millinery. One of the most novel hats of the present season is made entirely of pea cock feathers.

SHOWS TREMENDOUS POWER. ■experiment* With a Dynamite Shell at *«nd y Hook Would Mink a Bat tleship. At the Sandy Hook proving ground! an experiment was made with a dyna mite shell which tended to prove that If it had struck a battleship the lat ter would have been sunk. The shell, made from about 900 pounds of cant ■teel and carrying a bursting charge of 120'/. pounds of explosive gelatine, was fired from an ordinary 12-ineh rifle at a piece of Ilarveyi/.ed steel 12 Inches thick and specially treated, placed 200 yards away at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of fire. Behind It was a thick backing of oak, and be hind the oak was a small mountain of sand, the whole calculated to be stronger than a battleship's side. The steel target was blown clear of the oak backing, and 17 feet to one side. The most destructive explosive was used in the shell. It was composed of 88 per cent, of nitroglycerin, 8 per cent, of guneotton as an absorbent, and 4 per cent, of camphor. It is es timated to be 25 per cent, more power ful than No. 1 dynamite. ONE WIFE SURELY ENOUGH. Why Mini nun my Ila* Coine to Dc the Prevailing Matrimonial Prin ciple in Thl* Country. Mnrgherita Arlina Ilamm, the well-known traveler and author, called when in China upon the wife, or rather the wives, of a great mandarin. Her visit partook of the nature of a festival, bo novel was the ex perience to the Chinese women, whose lives are passed almost entirely within the walls ot their yamen. They examined her cloth ing, and were partly pleased and partly as tonished at it. They were shocked by her shoes, and especially by the fact that her feet were not confined by bindings. Finally one of them said, through the in terpreter. "You can. walk and run just as weil as a man?" "VVliy, certainly." "Can you ride a pony as well as a man?" Of course." '"lhen you must be as strong as mosl men. "Yes, I think I am." "You wouldn't let a man beat you, nol even your husband, would you?" "Not at all." The Chinese woman paused, laughed, anc then said: "Now I understand why foreign ers never take more than one wife. They an afraid to."—Philadelphia Post. Strategy of a Spendthrift. A good story is told of a young man who, besides being of the spendthift order, is i mimic and can imitate his father's voice to« nicety. Not long ago the young man want ed, without delay, some money to pay a bill, and he knew tMat his father would treal his request with cold contempt. Waiting till he knew that his father would be away he went to the telephone and rang up the office, calling for the cashier. The cashiei was forthcoming, and when he was at the other end the young man imitated his sire's voice: "I say, Blank, if that scapegrace SOB of mine comes around and asks for SIOO don't give it to him, only give him sso.'' 1, he cashier promised that lie would ful fill the commands. Not long after that the ion called at the office and demanded SIOO, lie was refused by the conscientious cash ier, and, apparently in anger, the voung inan contented himself with the SSO. When the old man reached the office there was a •cene. —Chicago Inter Ocean. A fellow with a nice string of game very rarely comes into town by a back alley.— Washington (la.) Democrat.
