lias n Perfprt Kar of Corn.
An car of corn which Patrick Cullen
believes to be worth a small fortune is
being carefully preserved by that in
dividual, who recently found his prize
on Farmer Upright's place at Merion
Square, Montgomery County. To the
ordinary city man there is really noth
ing remarkable about the ear of com.
Its kernels are not solid gold, nor are
there any diamonds concealed about
the cob. Its value lies in the fact that
somewhere at some time or other some
agricultural society offered a reward
of $1000 to any one who could .Unit a
perfect ear of corn with the kernels
growing in an uneven number of
rows.
It has always been found that the
rows .:re even, say ten, twelve, or
fourteen to a cob. This ear which
Fatrick Culleu found, however, shows
thirteen rows around the butt and
eleven around the middle of the cob.
Many farmers to whom Culleu showed
his prize assured him that the ear was
as perfect as it could be, and that it
was really a 'curiosity. Cullen is now
looking for the agricultural society
which offered the 1000 reward.

The Nfwpit Collar IlnmU. ?
The uew black collar bands which
are selling so well in the shops can
easily be duplicated at home. Pur
chase one yard nnd a half of velvet
ribbon. It should be exactly an inch
and one-half wide, but it may be of
satin or gros grain ribbon if they are
more becoming than the dull-finished
velvet. From this yon measure and
cnt off one-quarter of a yard. Fold
the ends nnder to make a two-looped
bow as soon as you have passeil it
through the side of a fancy buckle.
Your long piece of ribbon, now meas
uring a yard and a quarter, mnst have
the cuds properly slanted instead of
being mitred. Find the exact middle,
and here stitch down the bow with a
buckle. The collar band is now ready
to be worn with any or every cos
tume. Tie the ends in the back, and
you will have tho proud satisfaction of
being up to date.
A Girl Station Keeper.
"Kentucky is the home of many
business women, but I think no one
of them is prettior or more energetio
than the lovable girl who is station
agent at Rowland, in the Bluegrass,"
said a Stanford friend. "I refer to
Miss Susio Lasley, who is perhaps the
youngest station agent and ticket
seller in the country. Two years ago,
when her brother, who had been the
agent at Rowland, died, Miss Susie
was given the appointment, and though
less than twenty, she has earned a de
served reputation for capacity and
faithfulness. Her home is a mile
from her post, but she is always at the
little ticket window to sell tickets for
every train nnd is on the platform,
lantern in hand, to sign for all the
baggage and express, it matters not
how cold and disagreeable the night
in winter. She rides a wheel, but is
fin de siecle in no other respect, there
being too much of the matter of fact
about her for any foolishness. She is
a brunette, with nnt-brown hair, hazel
eyes, and is as attractive as she is cour
ageous and iudepeudent. Everybody
at Rowland knows aud loves the sweet
tempered station agent, who will earn
a better place in the company's employ
before maliy months have elapsed. "

I.lttlo HUcnit Woman.
There is a charming dame in Atlanta,
On., says the Chicago Times-Herald,
kuown as the "little biscuit woman."
She was born in Amerins, Ga. Her
father, Professor Butler, was at
different times President aud Pro
fessor of Mathematics in the
Louisville High School. His wife
was Elizabeth Holt, a member of a
prominent Georgia family. Martha
Butler-Lapsley is a delightful woman
with gracious manners. She is very
dark and she has luminous teep brown
eyes. She was educated in Hollidays
burg, Penu. She inherited her father's
mathematical talent, and her examina
tion papers in that study won for her
the highest honors during the years
she was a teacher in that collage.
After her marriage, while residing in
a small Georgia village, a church so
ciety, of which she was an active mem
ber, served luncheons one day at a
horse fair. Mrs. Lapsley's contribu
tion of beaten biscuits established her
reputation as an expert cook. At vari
ous times large trays of these delicious
biscuits were sent to be sold for the
benefit of the Church Aid Society, and
it was not until the village was visited
by a cyclone, which swept everything
before it, including Mrs. Lapsley's
possessions, that she began to support
her family. Later she went to Atlanta
and put her biscuits on trial at the
Woman's Exchange. The demand for
her daiuties increased rapidly. At
first she sold four dozen a day. Now
she considers 400 biscuits a small
daily sale, and on Saturday she sells
1000. Women ar always bound to
succeed in the domestic branches of
employment, and Mrs. Lapsley's suc
cess is only one more proof of the fact.

Sleep is a wonderful beautitier.

If the hair is disposed to fall out the
following is recommended as an excel
lent remedy: Two ouuees of crude
vaseline, melted, aud mixed with a
quarter of an ounce of tincture of beu
ziou. Apply every night for a week,
rubbing well into the scalp. Then
wash the head and hair with egg and
quinine tonic, which may be obtained
ut any good hairdresser's. Apply the
pomade until the hair has lost its ten
dency to fall out.
The dry-air "hath" is highly recom

found it beneficial. One devoted dry

After rubbing briskly you will be sur

A clever writer says worry is a mor
tal enemy to beauty and charm of
manner. This is undeniably true.
Worry over the inevitable is not only
a wrinkle inducer and a frown instiga
tor, but it is a senselesss and wicked
relxllion against what cannot be
helped. Worry clouds the eyes, makes
the voice sharp and impatient, puts
bard line about the mouth and de
stroys repose and gentleness of man
ner. Whatever is is best. Therefore,
one would best control one's feelings
and learn as soon as possible to know
that bright eyes, sweet voices and
smiles about the mouth will add much
to one's beauty and to one's circle of
friends.
A gentle, caressing touch is a bean
tiful possession. It goes hand in hand
with beauty of character, and that
means tenderness of heart, purity of
purpose, honesty of soul and kindli
ness of thought. Much is expected of
a beautiful person. New York Tri

Another game, that of "goose
eutting," has been a ided to the long
list in vogue at social gatherings, says
the New Y'ork Evening Post. The
hostess provides a well-drawn outline
of a goose, winch is usually of red
cloth, or, if made of paper, is colored
red or black. This is merely "for the
purpose of distinctness. Two pairs
of scissors are provided aud a number
of sheets of plain brown paper. Each
gentleman invites a lady to cut a goose
with him, and in turn these couples
are seated back to back in two chairs
iu the centre of the room. When the
model goose has been studied, the
pair are blindfolded, uud proceed to
evolve with their scissors and sheet of
paper copies of the fowl. Having riu
iiihed, each paper is duly signed by its
creator aud laid aside. Great merri
ment is ulways aroused by the pro
cess of cutting, us the pair work iu
full view of the rest of the company.
Wheu finished, all the results are laid
out on tho parlor floor, names down,

merits of the geese submitted, aud

Art of Omelet Making;.
The test of a good cook is the mak
ing of au omelet. The omelet the
perfect omelet oomes from France.
It is as much a national dish as pot-
au-feu, aud almost as simple to make,
although it is geuera'ly assumed that
only an expert can cook an omelet to
perfection.
To begin with, it is advisable to
have a frying-pan reserved solely for
the making of omelets. Then, to be
gin, take two small basins, or two
soup plates if more convenient, and
break the yolks of the eggs into one
vessel and the whites into auother;
add to the yolks three small pinches
of salt and two of pepper, and beat
them well with a fork. The whites
must be-whipped into a froth and
added to the yolks. Then place a
good-sized piece of butter into the pan,
and when it smokes pour in the eggs.
For the first second or two it is not
necessary to touch the eggs, as you
would mix the butter with the omelet,
which must be avoided; but after this
delay shake the pan and pass a fork
round the sides between the omelet
aud the pan, and keep the eggs almost
continually in movement. After the
eggs have cooked for about two min
utes on a moderate fire, place the pan
in the oven, and in one minute the
omelet will be ready. Then double
one-half upon the other and let it glide
into a hot dish. '
For omelette aux fines herbes it is
merely necessary to add a little
chopped parsley and chives to the
yolks very little is needed. As a rule,
the ordinary cook makes an omelette
aux fines herbes look like a tennis
lawn. New York Journal.

two well-beaten eggs and half-cup of
milk; mix one cake compressed yeast;
mix the whole together and set to

sufficient for three luncheons.
Pigeon Pie Cut in six pieces half a
pound of tender beefsteak or veal:
put in deep pio dish; wash, dry andl

them on the dish hollows side up; flifl
the hollows with forcemeat and fill
up with water; put an inch-broad strip
of pastry on edge of dish (do not for
get to grease the dish edge), moisten
with water aud cover the dish with
pastry. Bake in moderate oven three
quarters of an hour.
Celery Salad (original) Carefully
wash and cnt in small pieces enough
celery to make a pint, using only the
iuside pieces, Having the outer ones
for the soup; stone and chop twelve
olives; take half-cup walnut meat,
blanch aud chop fine; put all into the
salad bowl; add small teaspoouful
salt, liberal pinch cayenne and half
teaHpoou lemon juice; mix well to
gether; set on ice and serve with
uiayouuaise dressing. This must not
be made long before using or the celery
will lose color.
Forcemeat One cup bread crumbs,
half-cup beef suet, very finely chopped,
half-cup parsley, also finely chopped,
one-fourth rind of lemon, gratod, tea
spoonful of lemou thyme, one-fourth
teaspoouful sweet basil, teaspoouful
salt aud one-fourth teaspoon of pepper;
parsley, thyme and basil should be
chopped together. Blend thoroughly
aud mix with one egg. As this is a
rich pie, only a moderately rich pastry
should be used. A good way to fill
up a meat pie with water while cooking
is to decorate top with parsley leaves,
having one iu the centre; take this
up, make a hole, fill up the dish and
replace.

which he would have shrunk In horror had

Bitter Indeed for he is conscious of tho

The Intoxication Hodge.
Judge Ilregy, in ruling on a idea of d rn nk.
cnnesH, advanced In defense of a man
charged with fradulent voting, put his foot
iiuwu mutiny on mat out ooitgo. l uojudgo,
iu charging the jury, warned them that it
was not their dutv to take the nlon Intn
consideration, saying:
"it yon believe that the defendant voted
In the namo of some ono else, as has been
testified to, then the fact that he volun
tarily Intoxicated himself Is no defense.
He has not denied the fact of tho illegal
voting, but puts It upon the ground simply
that he has no recollection of the occur
rence. I say to you, as a matter of law,
that If the iutoxlcntlon were forced upon
him, If the liquor was poured down his
throat, It might act as a defense, but vol
untary intoxication is no excuse."
There was little reason to doubt thnt the
prisoner, although lntoxlcnted, had voted
illegally with a full knowledge of what bo
was doing, aud It is more than possible that
he had drunk Ibiuor exnresslv to clve him
enough nerve to violate the law. The jury
convicted him.
The tendency In recent years on tho part
of courts to reject drunkenness as an ex
cuse for crime is altogether in tho lino of
public decency nnd Justice. Indeed, drunk
enness In sucha case ns Judge Ilregy passed
uoon yesterday is an aggravation rather
than au extenuation of the main offense.

A Clergyman's Story.
"One dav a vouna man ni.llM.1 l rt aaa n,n
for relief," said a clergyman In a sermon
recently. "He asked me for some clothes.
He said to me, 'Do you know such and such
a woman?' I said to Mm. 'Yes; a most ex
cellent woman.' 'Well,' he said, 'I am her
son. I have not Been her for fourteen years;
I can not find her address, she must have
moved lately. I want to see h... ....
again.' While I sent him downstairs to tho
room wuere we gathered clothes for tho
poor I sent a fellow priest to the house of this
woman to see if she would see her son. One
of her daughters fainted at his name, an
Dther, stronger than her sister, saw her
mother waver in her determination not to
have this cause of her misery return, and
said: 'Mother, If ha comes home, I leave.

I shall not live in thesame house with him.'
After attending to his needs I told the son

Misery Hue to Drink.

A Few Temperance "Don'U."
Don't take the first glass and you can't
take the second.
Don't act as If Ood gave you a mind that
you might becloud it with drink.
Don't think you are more of a man if you
drink. It really doesn't add to your
stuture, mental or physical, the least frac
tion of an Inch.
Don't take for your model tho loud
mouthed, very ofteu foul-mouthed, fellow
of "sporty" proclivities, who boasts of hie
uppetite for drink.
Don't be afraid of the laughter of the
"boys," because of your temperance prin
ciples. In their inmost hearts these "boys,"
if they have any spark of manhood left, re
spect you.
Don't think thnt there is no enjoyment
where there is no liquor. The anguish and
discomfort that follows excessive drinking
is a poor return for the temporary exhila
ration it may a fiord.
Don't hesitate to refuse to drink, no mat
ter by whom iuvited. The iuvertebrats
specimen of temperance man is so common
that people are glad to find some one with
couvictiuus aud courage.-
Owl Flew Throngli a Cah.
Mike Murphy, engineer of the
"Rlne Flyer" on the Baltimore and
Ohio, was badly cnt in the faoe by
flying glass from his cab window early
yesterday morning. Mr. Mnrphy wai
coming down the big hill at Casey
ville at a high rate of speed, and the
air being quite fresh, he kept his cab
window closed. All at once he heard
a crash and the next instant blood
oovered his face, the result of pa ti
des of glass from his cab window
striking him. He hastily reversed
hia'engine, and, as soon as he washed
the blood from his face, looked around
for the cause of the accident. He ex
pected to find that some miscreant
had thrown a missile through the win
dow, but in a corner of the cab lay a
big owl, which had passed through
the window. The owl was slightly
disfigured, but would have been able
to fly had Mr. Mnrphy permitted it to
escape. He brought it to East St.
Louis, and will keep it as a memento
of the fast mn at Caseyville. Rail-rorj's-rteii
contend that the electric
heTfulight so blinded the owl that it
could not see to escape, and that it
plunged through the glasB in its half
d n zed condition. St. Louis Qlobe

To Dress Wounds.
Three useful things to have iu the
house as a provision in case of wounds,
are a spool of adhesive plaster, some
iodoform gauze and a package of car
bolated absorbent cotton. Cleanse and
dry as nearly as may be the cut sur
face with a wad of the cotton, using
moderate pressure and elevating the
part if necessary to check the flow of
blood. Do not apply any water. Bring
the cnt surfaces together as accurately
as possible and retain them there with
as few and as narrow strips of the
plaster as will suffice, cutting them of
a good length. Then cover the wound
with a dozen or so thicknesses of the
iodoform gauze, which should extend
au inch beyond the wound. Over the
gauze apply a liberal layer of the ab
sorbent cotton, allowing it to extend
beyond the gauze. The cotton may
be kept in place by a bandage of
cheesecloth, or a part of a leg of a
stocking may be drawn over it. Mod
erate pressure, if evenly distributed,
is helpful. The pressure of a string is
hurtful.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
With local applications, as they cannot reach
the scat of the disease. Cfttarrh is a blood or

it, you must take internal remedies. If nil's
