|'"l " | POPULAR CLUB WOMEN. Urn. Falrbnnka, Wife of the Senior Keuulor from Indiana. Staled for II Ik It Honor*. Not many women in the midst of offi cial society life find time to attepd t« philanthropic malters, but Mrs. Fair banks, wife of the senator from In diana, excels hi interest and work along the lines of socialology and philan thropy. "I believe," said Mrs. Fairbanks, "in such work, especially among youths and children, and think that to diffuse truth and intelligence in early life wiil prevent crime in later years." Mrs. Fairbanks was appointed by Gov. llovey, and was the tirst woman in Indiana to hold a position on the board of state charities. The duties of this office required visiting all penal, correction and educational institutions, also looking into all reformatory mat ters, as well as blind asylums and other charities in the state. This great work was cheerfully and efficiently attended to in Indiana, and as soon as Mrs. Fair banks arrived in Washington last fall she was called upon by the board of trustees of the National Junior Kepub lic to take the presidency of the Wom en's league, connected with that insti tution. and situated between Washing ton and Baltimore. This philanthropic work is entered into by both cities and is a special effort for children, whose lives are blighted at birth by poverty snd crime. At first Mrs. Fairbanks refused to enter into this work, owing to pressure cf social and other philanthropic mat ters, but the management, knowing her peculiar fitness, pressed her to visi the buildings on the farm at Annapolis Junction, which she did, witnessing fcbese little waifs governing themselves after the plan of the George Junior Republic, which allows the "citizens," •st he inmates are called, to elect their ®wn president, judges and other ofli y |-1 MRS. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. c*rs, holding weekly "courts." Mrs. Fairbanks was so impressed with the value of the work that she withdrew her refusal, and now her elegant resi dence is thrown open for the meetings of the board of Woman's League of National Junior Republic, over which she presides. Thus the house so often open in entertaining dignitaries of this and other lands is also open to philanthropic interests. Mrs. Fairbanks is also a member of the governing board of the General Federation of Women's clubs. She was born in Ohio, and both she and her husband are graduates of the Ohio Vesleyan university, being students at the same time. They were married in Ohio, going, however, directly to In diana to reside. Being also much inter ested in literature, Mrs. Fairbanks, toon after her marriage, founded a lit erary society, still a successful organi zation in Indianapolis. A round of din ners, teas and receptions are now be ing given, and must, owing- to Senator Fairbanks' official position, be entered into by his busy wife. Mrs. Fairbanks has been urged by a large number of the chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution to allow her name to be placed in nom ination for president general of tli.it organization, and has consented to do so. How to Clean Oil I'alntlnK*. Oil paintings may be cleaned by di viding a sound, raw potato, having previously removed the skin, and ap plying the flat, cut side to the surface of the picture. As the soaplike froth accumulates use a very soft piece of sponge and a little tepid water to re move it. The superfluous moisture will be readily absorbed by the care ful application of a piece of chamois leather. As the potato gets dirtier cut off a thin slice and use again. Kitchen Work Made Ensy.

There is a Boston legend that ice cream was first made by a famous col ored cook of Boston, which is so often repeated that it is a pity to recall the fact that the French made sweet dishes congealed with ice as long ago as the age of Cardinal Richelieu, who was himself a famous bon vivant and the inventor of the salad, mayonnaise. The success of an ice cream depends upon its being properly frozen. A cream that is congealed until it is as hard as an icicle is as much a failure as one half frozen. The process must be such as to make a creamy but per fectly compact mass. It is easy to freeze cream iu a few minutes by us ing an extra amount of salt. This will produce a coarse grained, icy cream that is anything but palatable. Use about three pints of coarse rock salt to 12 quarts of ice, crushed fine, for a gallon freezer. I'ut in a layer of ice, then sprinkle in the salt and pack in another layer of fine ice. Continue packing the ice and salt and pressing it with a blunt, wedgelike piece of wood. A wooden spoon does very well. Put the liquid cream into the can, cover it up and turn the freezer for about three or four minutes. At the end of this time remove the cover of the can and with a sharp edged knife scrape the side of the -:an and the bottom. Mix the hard frozen layer of cream thus scraped off with the thin cream in the center. Upon the thorough mixing of the frozen cream with the liquid cream in the center the rapid successful freezing of the crenm depends. Close tip the. can and turn the freezer again for two or three minutes and repeat the scraping of the sides of the can and mixture of the cream. After turning the cream again and mixing it, it should be thick enough to close up and pack away. Let it remain packed away for at least two hours before it is served. —N. Y. Tribune. Sin* Made It Quite Clfiir. In a suburb of Philadelphia lives an old German couple named Skimme kopf. The husband, Fritz, has two dogs, of which he is very fond. One is a pup, while the other is quite old; but, as sometimes occurs with dogs of different breeds, the old dog is much smaller than the six-months-old puppy. "Dere vas somedings funny apoud darn dog alreatty," said Fritz, who was showing them to a friend the other day. "Dat leedlest dog vas de piggest." Mrs. Skimmekopf, realizing that her husband had not made the point quite clear, thought she had better come to his assistance. "You must excuse mine husband," she said.

How to Cure llornra of a Vlelona Hhlitl 'Mm I Lnuully In tlie Hired Heault of IdZeaeui. Kicking in the barn is generally done by horses kept iu!e too long or be cause of viciousness. Severe injury may result, especially in winter, when horses are kept sharply shod. The il lustration shows how to prevent kick ing. Put shackles on each of the hind legs and chain them together. Give TO CURE KICKING HORSES. horses sufficient liberty to step about and to lie down and get up. The shack les should be put on horse a week before putting on sharp shoes, so as to get the horse accustomed to them that he may not hurt himself. Self calking is about the only injury to be feared from using shack'.es. It is best to use them on horses only'in the day time at first. Shackles should be of a strong strip tied around each leg above the ankle joint. Use a light but strong chain about 12 inches long with a snail ring attached to each end to pass strap through. A double leather strap for coupling instead of a chain may be used if preferred.—Louis Olseri in Farm and Home. LONG-TONGUED BEES. Very Few of the Inaecta Sow on the Market Can Master tlie iled Clover llloHKoniM. We are now putting forth an unusual effort to improve the honey bee in length of tongue. Beekeepers are after the red clover honey crop, of which the tubes of the blossoms are so deep the bees cannot reach the nectar in them. It is well known that the common red clover is the heaviest nectar-producing plant known, and the honey from it is of fine quality. It has been discovered that an occa sional colony of bees work on red clover blossoms, and in some instances have stored a large surplus from this well known plant. Beekeepers have taken the hint from this, and have made in vestigations to find that some bees have longer tongues than others, and on this account are able to reach the hox>ey in the red clover tubes. It was said that the Italian bee* could master the red clover blossoms, and the job was placed in their hant\«, but after some big stories of imagination and the lapseof timeitwas discovered that but a very small per cent, of bees worked the red clover. After careful measure ments of the tongues of bees, it has been discovered that there is a variation all the way from fifteen one-hundredths to twenty-three one-hundredths of an inch, the last-named being very rare. It seems that if we can attain the length of twenty-five one-hundredths of an inch, and have all the bees come up to this standard, the red clover crop is ours. Beekeepers have already be gun the work to attain this inip.«ve ment by select breeding, and judging from other improvements obtained in different ways by line breeding of the Italian bees, this improvement is not an impossibility. . 'lhe honey that would be obtained from red clover if the bees could get it, would add largely to the total crop of this country.—A. M. Duff, in National Rural, HnrneMM Gocm with lfor*e. Whenever a horse is sold the har ness in which it has been used to working ought always togo with the bargain. No two harnesses fit alike, especially where the pressure comes on the shoulder or neck in drawing. The skin under the old harness lias been gradually toughened by the pressure on one spot. But with the new harness the pressure is shifted, it may be only an inch or two, but it comes where the skin is tender and will quickly break when exposed to the collar. If the whole harness can not go, be at least sure to secure the collar with any new horse purchased, so the animal can work without be ing tortured. The collar once \tscd for one horse ought never to lie used for another.—Midland Farmer. now to Prevent lll|tek The cause of "black leg" in cattle is the bacillus anthracis, a veg-etable organism. This bacinus establishes the diseases known as anthrax, -which occurs in various forms, such as sp'.».nie apoplexy, gloss anthrax, carbuncular erysipelas, etc. The term "black leg" is used for the disease occurring in young, thrifty cattle, because on skin ning the affected quarter the flesh is black. Remedies, as a rule, fail. Your only plan is to use preventive meas ures. Usually when one animal is affected others fonovv, unless means to prevent further infection are used, and as the disease is fatal as a rule, quick action is called for. Remove all two-year-olds and under from the pasture where disease started.- Rural World. Hnthert "Rv the xray," asked the Rtrangff, "are women permitted to practice at the bar in this country?"
