MRS. DENISON'S TRAVELS.
President of General Federation of
Women's Clubs Has Established
a Unique Raeord.
Mrs. Demies T. S. Denison, presi
ient of the General Federation of
Women's clubs, is at present at her
oome in West One Hundred and Third
street, Manhattan, resting between J
journeys. And she probably needs the
rest. For three months she was as con
tinually on the road as a commercial
Uaveler. In those three months she
traveled more than most women do in
» lifetime, and all without going out
side of the United States. She crossed
the Mississippi six times, got almost
out to the coast twice and kept en
gagements in Louisiana and Texas,
and engagements in Michigan and the j
Dakotas. She visited 22 states in all, |
traveled about 30,000 miles, talked to j
not far from 100,000 women and came
home fresh as a daisy and having
gained weight during her travels.
That is something of a record even
for these strenuous days, and now she
has started off again to Florida first
and then to Arkansas and Tennessee
and possibly to one or two other places.
All this, of course, on federation busi
ness. Who takes the place of presi
dent. to that enormous aggregation of
women must make up her mind to put
her own private and personal affairs
entirely in the background for two
years. And even that Mrs. Denison has
not done, inasmuch as her mother has
been very ill —a situation which she
did not foresee when she took the
presidency—and she has been drawn
hither and yon by a divided duty, and,
succeeded in neglecting neither. But
poor Mr. Denison! He has been prac
tically wifeless for the past year, be
tween his wife's mother and his wife's
clubs. However, he brought it on him
self, so far as the clubs are concerned,
MRS D. T. S. DENISON.
(President of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs )
for it was he who urged and encour
aged his wife togo into club life and
cheered her through her first moments
of stage fright and was so proud and
pleased at the generr.l recognition of
her brilliancy and graciousuess and
ability that she couldn't help being
pleased and proud with him.
Speaking of her travels —and even
as she spoke Mrs. Denison was dressed
and ready togo to a big local club re
ception as "guest of honor" —she said
to a Brooklyn Eagle reporter: "I had
a perfectly delightful trip in ewery
way. It seemed to me that each town
outdid the last I had visited in its wel
come. And those western club women!
They are such forceful, brainy, prac
tical creatures. They don't seem to
waste so much time on unimportant de
tails, but get right down to the meat
of the matter. I suppose that in our
eastern cities our various reforms and
charities and public works are so well
organized, so crystallized that there is
not so much for the clubs to- do. But
out west the women's clubs are an ac
tive living public force, doing things
that ought to be done, accomplishing
things that need accomplishing. Ar.d
their hospitality is not mere civility;
their politeness seems to be a deep
seated courtesy that springs from real
kTndness.
"I think any one who had been on
my recent trip with me would have
realized t'le uses of women's clubs.
Possibly occasionally they would have
realized their abuses, too. But in the
main they do stimulate and develop.
And the club woman is not necessarily
a masculine, domineering, unwomanly
creature. She can overdo it, of course,
and sometime.? clubs seem to become
an obsession with women. But those
are the women who are naturally ill
balanced; if it wasn't clubs it would
be something else. Of course, a whole
lot of them take themselves with tre
mendous seriousness and are awfully
funny.
"This southern trip of mine is prob
ably the last one I shall take as presi
dent of the general federation. Mj
term ends in the spring."
Stuffing for Green Peppers.
Corned beef hash is said to make an
excellent stuffing for green peppers
l>f course no or.e would make hash on
purpose io stuff peppers with, but iiash
is often left over. A housewife of an
experimental frame of mind who had
'iash Uft over filled some peppers with
j*. poured around them a brown gravy
of butter, liaur ana water and
thtun. She says there is no doubt of
tht svc-iess of that experiment.
UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPH PANS.
A Novelty from Germany Which la
Destined to Become Quite Pop
ular in This Country.
Of the making of fans there appears
to be practically no end in Kiese days,
and novelty and artistic results are
the dual aims of the designer and
manufacturer of these essential i»osses
sions of maid and matron. The French
man and the American are exceeding
ly adept as fan designers and con
structors, but the newest idea in this
line comes from the land of the Teu
ton. It is the photograph fan, of
which a picture is here shown. The

framework is of thin silk and tortoise
shell, the mount elaborately decorated
in gold. In orchid design silk is ap
pliqued on the foundation fabric, with
the petals so arranged as to leave
space lor the painted portraits of the
owner's dear friends. In place of the
painted picture a tiny photograph may
be inserted if desired, and if cleverly
done J.he effect is good, although the
painted miniature adds to the pictur
esque and artistic effect of the fan. The
college girl, the debutaiße and the
young girl in general is likely to ap
prove of such a fan, as it can be made
to serve a decorative as well as useful
purpose and hold the place of honor as
a photo frame. —Brooklyn Eagle.
HINTS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS
Caring for the Baby Is Robbed of
Many Trials by Adopting a
Rational System.
Young mothers usually know very
little about the care of babies, and this
lack of knowledge is apt to make the
task seem a very difficult one. Let his
clothes be soft, warm and comfortable.
We often fail to realize how much
more sensitive he is to changes of
temperature than we are, and are not
careful enough to guard against them.
The room in which he stays should be
kept as neaf the same temperature as
possible, and well ventilated, but avoid
j keeping him in a draft or he will be
j apt to have the colic. A healthy baby,
! that has not been taught bad habits,
| will be happy and coiTtented in his crib
the greater part of the day, allowing
| the mother time to attend to other
| duties, or to rest. lie does not need
i to be held in your arms all the time,
j and he never needs to be carried about
I to amuse him. Few mothers are strong
j enough for that task, and they should
! nover begin it. A great deal of worry
: and many cross spells might be saved
; if the mother would begin by having
j regular hours for feeding and bathing
! the baby. The bath should never be
neglected, for so much of his comfort
j depends upon it that he will be rest
! less and cross without it. Have the
| room warm and the water just warm
i enough for comfort. Get the bath tub
i in. place, with towels and clean clothes
hung on a chair before the fire, so they
I will be at hand when needed. Bathe
! him quickly, and wipe him dry with a
j very soft linen towel. Dust him un
der the arms and any other places
that seem in danger of dialing with a
powder composed of ten parts talcum
powder and one part boracic acid, thor
oughly mixed by sifting together two
or three times. This is very soothing
; and healing, and when prepared at
home it is inexpensive, and one can be
sure to have it pure. Slip his clothes
on and fasten them with as little turn
ing and twisting as possible, and if he
is not hungry he will fall into a quiet,
refreshing sleep.
When babies are teething they nee.l
special care to keep them well. They
j should have plenty of simple and nu-
J tritious food that is easily digested
j The gums become swollen and the
mouth feverish. Give them a drink of
water occasionally and see how eager
ly they take it. Any tendency toward
diarrhoea should be checked at once
If home remedies fail call a physician
without delay.—St. Louis Republic.
They Like to Be Ugly.
As if nature had not been unkind
enough, the Thibetan woman heightens
her ugliness by smearing her face with
a horrible ointment to keep her
skin from cracking in the dry wind.
Her dress is not different from her hus
band's. Her crowning glory is h< r hair.
Plastered down with butter from the
part to the ears, it goes off behind into
a sunburst of small braids to which is
fastened a great fan-shaped headdress
falling to the hem of her gaments. It
is of spreading strips of red and blue
cloth joined horizontally by iron
bands and ornamented with countless
coral and malachite beads, silver coins,
and tiny bells. The one poetic thing
j about a Thibetan lady is the sound of her
j gong—a soft, melodious tinkle, belying
j the grotesqueness of her face.
Cleaning White Satin Shoes.
White satin shoes may be easily
i cleaned at home. Stuff out the shoe ID

j cloth dipped in methylated spirit, re
i peating till jlean. Dry with a clean

HOW TO TAKE OFF HIDES.
Kemoving Them in the Right Way
Means Many Extra Dollars in
the Farmer's Pocket.
Theret are numerous wrong ways of
taking off hides, b:*t there is only one
right way. It is ju.it as easy to take
off a hide in the right way as in any
other when one knows what the right
way is. and the removal in the proper
manner may add materially to their
value. On this ground the negro's ex
|'
planation of his charges for the skin
ning of a calf might be justifiable.
Upon being remonstrated with for
charging a dollar for the skinning of
a calf he said, "Wall, massa, I charges
50 cents for the work and 50 cents for
the know how."
Wrong-shaped hides are classed as
damaged hides, even if not damaged by
cuts, and when they are dried on the
fence or on the ground, exposed to the
sun and the weather for a consider
able time, they get hard and are only
lit for glue. The Northwestern Hide
& Fur company says: In skinning
beef hides and calf skins, keep the
knife close to the hide and draw tight
ly with left hand and you will not be
liable to cut or score them.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent the course the
knife should take in opening the hide in
the right way and in one of the incor
rect methods most commonly used. Ob-

THE SKINNING KNIFE. *
serve the difference in dotted lines on
Figs. 1 and 2, on the foreleg; the knife
should go down to the armpit, then for
ward to point of brisket as in Fig. 1,
and not back of brisket as in Fig. 2;
never cut the throat crosswise; always
take out horns and tail bone.
To salt a hide thoroughly, take a
water bucket full of salt for a 60-pound
hide (larger and smaller hides in pro
portion). Hub it on well and roll them
up. Or spread them out smooth ona
on top of the other, when killing often.
If salt is all absorbed, put on more,
especially in warm weather.
It is estimated that the loss to butch
ers, farmers and trappers in this coun
try exceeds $1,000,000 per year by im
properly taking off hides and furs and
not properly handling them. To pre
vent this great loss as much as possi
ble we have had these cuts made, il
lustrating the right and wrong way,
with instructions so plain that a child
can soon learn to do a good job.
Fig. 3 shows a butcher's skinning
knife, which is much the best form of
knife for such work, as one is less lia
ble to cut the hide and a hole in the
hide places it in the second grade.—
Prairie Farmer.
HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.
Clean out the feet of the horses after
the day's work is done.
Dry, dusty meal makes a very un
palatable meal for horses hard at work.
It is easier to keep a horse in good con
dition than to strengthen hiui up after
he has lost his health.
Every time the horses are worried
their days of usefulness are shortened.
A horse that never gained his liberty
by breaking his halter will never become
a halter-puller.
Large nostrils indicate good breathing
power, good lungs and good constitu
tion.
Horses which are judiciously fed and
well groomed will stand double the
amount of hard work that they would
under careless feeding.
Road dust is a valuable absorbent and
is a good thing to keep around stables
in which the stalls are inclined to be
come damp or wet.
When confined in stables, which at best
Is an unnatural condition for colts, they
should not be compelled to stand upon a
hard floor of any kind.
A Preventive of Scratches.
Keep your stable dry. Prevent the
wind from blowing on the horses' lees il
wet, when standing in stable. Keep the
curry comb ofT the horses' legs below the
knee and hock joint. As the horse's ieg
is nothing but skin and bone, to speak of,
it is very easy to cut the skin and iay the
foundation for a case of scratches. Uso
a big corn cob to run off the dried mud
and dirt. You will be surprised how
quickly it is done without the least dan
ger of cutting the horse's legs. Follow up
with a good brush, well applied.
Scratches are well named "curry-ccifab
scratches." I have had the care of
horses for the last -10 years, ar.d never
bad a case of scratches in all my exp»
rienca. —R F. Dil worth, la Epitomise

my thankfulness to you for Peruna. I
was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for
years and was in a very much run
down condition. I was extremely ;
nervous and had the most foolish fears

"My physician advised me to leave
this climate but as it was not con

advice of a friend to use a bottle of I'e- 1
rirna. I took it. faithfully and when
the first bottle was gone I felt so much
better that I bought six more and took J
them faithfully, after which I looked
like a new woman.

Everybody is Tired—Spring
Weather Does It—Every One ,
Should Be Cautious.
Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-'
tions, continual tired feeling, with ir-!
regular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep. Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted i
to all their varied peculiarities, l'eruna ;
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the j
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and produces regular sleep.
Thattired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather immediately after the invigor
ating cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are j
daily testifying to its priceless benefit. I
Mrs. 11. Kassatt, 1309 W. 13th street,
DesMoines, la., writes: " I am happy to !
pive my endorsement for your valuable [
medicine, Peruna, as I consider it aval-!
uable medicine to take when the system j
is run down from overwork. About
two years ago I felt that I must take a
long rest as I had been unable to work
for over a month and could not regain
my strength. I could not sleep at night
and was in a very nervous, high strung ]
condition. I decided to try what l'e- i
runa would do to buildup my strength, 1
and am pleased to say that I began to j
improve very shortly, and in less than !
two months I was able to take up my
work, and felt better than I have for
years. I take it now twice a year and
find that it keeps me in perfect health." I
