NORTHERN HOME.
Nellie Cashman was a passenger on
the Santa Clara en route home. And
where do you suppose she lives? Five
hundred tulles beyond the Arctic cir
cle. It Is unnecessary for the Alas
kan to tell Its readers who Nellie
Cashman Is, for there are very few
people who have resided In Alaska
any length ot time who do not know
her. She came to Alaska In 1874.
She wag with the first ones who went
Into the Cassalr country, and many a
miner will .tell you that If It had not
been for Nellie Cashman they would
have died In that country from scurvy
and other sicknesses. Nellie on that
expedition was the nurse, and scores
ot men who fell sick with the scurvy
received medicine from her tree ot all
cost If they were broke. She was
through the Dawson country in "the
days of '97" and has been seen about
every camp In Alaska. Four years
go she struck tor the wilds ot the
Koyukuk, and now calls that home.

DECORATES GOVERNOR'S HOUSE
To Miss Marie Irvln, ot Boise. Ida
ho, has been awarded the contract to
decorate and furnish tho new official
mansion for the Governor of that
Btate. It is one ot the few contracts
of the kind that have been won by
women In this country. In this city
there are several women who have
found furnishing and decorating a
profitable profession, but most of
their commissions have come from
women's slubs or other women's or
fanlzatlons. It Is a line of work for
which women are especially well fit
ted. Miss Irvln studied in art schools
here and In Chicago, returning to
Boise a little more than a year ago.
She arranged the decorations for the
last Inaugural ball in Idaho, and it
was her success then that led to the
ward ot the present contract. Miss
India Kelish. A delightful India relish, which the peo
ple who have tried It like much better than the commer
cial relishes, is made in the following way: Take a sound,
hard head of cabbage, weighing from four and a half to
five pounds, cut and pick apart, wash carefully and let it
drain on a colander. When it is quite dry put It, with two
large onions and two large green peppers, through a chop
ping machine. The mixture should be medium coarse when
chopped. Put it in a large earthen or agate vessel, add one
small teaspoonful ot salt, stir thoroughly, cover with a china
plate a trifle smaller than the top of the vessel, and weight
the plate with some heavy object (one housekeeper keeps
an old eight-pound flatlron for that purpose). Let the
mixture stand ten or twelve hours. Then squeeze perfectly,
dry, and add two tablespoonfuls of mustard seed, two table
spoonfuls of curry powder and three tablespoonfuls of dark
brown sugar. Mix thoroughly and add enough good vinegar
and water to more than cover it, using two parts of water to
three parts of vinegar. If put In Jars and kept In a cool
place this relish can be preserved for quite a long time.

YOUNG GIRL CHAMPION ORATOR.
Sara Chayes, sixteen years old, has
won the oratorical championship ot
Cook County, lit., which includes
Chicago. She Is the first girl to carry
off this honor and she Is credited
with remarkable powers as a plat
form speaker. The competition in
cluded all the high schools in the
county. Elimination trials were held,
and the final contest was among four
boys and little Miss Chayes. She
was the first girl ever to win her way
into the finals. The championship
was awarded to her by unanimous
vote ot the six judges. She excelled
In every point, being unusually ef
fective In voice and gesture and easily
presenting the strongest and most
convincing argumert on the subject,
Wanted A Civic Conscience." This
Is not the girl's first achievement in
the oratorical line. Six weeks ago
she won third place in a contest for
the championship ot Illinois. She will
be graduated next month, and has
planned to deliver a series of speeches
In favor of equal suffrage. Her moth
er is an ardent suffragist, and the girl
Is so hopeful ot the ballot being
granted to women that - she expects
to vote when she becomes twenty-one
years old. New York Press.
CLAIMS OF CHILDREN. .
"The mere fact of a daughter's
services being needed at home is no
reason why they shall be claimed af
ter she has become ot age," said a
lecturer the other day, speaking on
Modern Ideas of Duty," before a
prominent women's club, In contra
vention of some of the objections
made to girls following their own
bent for a career. "Especially if there
Is money enough to pay for an ad
ditional hired helper, the daughter
ought to be free nay, encouraged
to take up another occupation; and,
If there is not money enough, the
ambitious girl will in almost every
case be willing to contribute to this
end from her earnings.
"To many parents, I suppose, this
modern view will seem unnatural and
undutiful," continued the lecturer.
"But it 1ft .neither the one or the oth
er. There have been and still are re
markable notions afloat concerning
nature and duty. Filial and parental
relations, discussed as they always
are by the parental part ot the com
munity, have a different bearing from
what they would if looked at front
the children's point of view. In our
eagerness to enforce the claims which
parents have upon children, we have
seemed sometimes to forget the
equally strong claims which children
have upon parents.
Surely, when the daughter has
become a woman, she has a right to
direct her life in the manner best
adapted to bring out its abilities. No
human being has a right to appropri
ate another huninu being's life even
It they be mother and daughter. You
say that she owes life Itself to her
parents. True, but in such a way that
It confers an additional obligation
upon them to glvo her every opportu
nity to make the most of life, and not
In such a way ns to Justify them In
monopolizing It, nor in such a way
as to render her accountable to them
alone for Its use. The person who
gives life is under much stronger
bonds than the person who receives
life. As Daniel Webster said long
ago, the Creator has so eonstltuted
the human Intellect that It can only
grow by its own action; and by its
own action and free will it will cer
tainly and necessarily grow.
"Filial unfaithfulness is a sin, but
parental unfaithfulness is a chief of
sins. The first violates relationships
which it finds. The second violates
thoso which it makes. Almost invari
ably the unfaithfulness of .the parent
Is the direct cause of unfaithfulness
In the child. There may be extraor
dinary exceptions; but, as a rule,
parental love and wise forethought
result in filial love and duty growing
stronger and stronger every day, and
best of all removing the possibil
ity ot sacrifice by making all service
a pleasure.
"If a daughter, out of love or a
sense of duty, chooses to sacrifice her
inclinations the voice of her soul
calling her to a work in life 1 do
not say that she does not well," con
cluded the speaker. "I only say that
her mother has no right to demand
such a sacrifice. Before children are
old enough to choose for themselves
their parents must choose for them;
but every restraint that is put upon
a child for any other purpose than
his own benefit Is a sin against a
soul." New York Tribune.
GENTLENESS.
I have a business friend who is as
modest and as gentle as a woman,
says O. S. Marsden, In Success Maga
zine, who Is never obtrusive or self
assertive, but who has a most re
markable way of getting things well
done, and getting people to see things
his way. He does it without any
noise or pretence. He does it as the
tender germ ot the daffodil lifts Its
head up through the hard turf, by
gentle persistency.
No one feels conscious that this
man Is trying to influence him, or to
get him to do a thing against his will,
but, somehow, most people about him
find themselves doing what he wants
them to do. He is so delicate in his
diplomacy, so gentle in his tact, and
so strong in his self-confidence that
others find themselves agreeing with
him without really knowing why.
He has a large number of employes
under him, yet no one ever bears him
raise his voice in anger or assertive
authority. He Is so gentle that stran
gers often wonder how he manages to
have any discipline, and yet every
thing goes like clockwork in his es
tablishment. His employes respect
him, like him, because he is always
bind, considerate, and never scolds,
frets or nags, but they know that
when he gives an order or. makes a
suggestion It must be obeyed.
DOING YOUR PART?
What are you doing to make your
home a place of peace and pleasure
and contentment for its Inmates?
As a wife and mother, are you be
ing as agreeable, amiable and com
panionable as you can be? Are you
making the home the dearest and
most cheerful spot on earth for those
who are entrusted to your care?
As a husband and father, are you
doing your best? Are you taking
time for pleasant little journeys with
your family now and then, or an even
ing of amusement where you make
the woman you chose for your life
companion feel that she is still the
sweetheart of old?
Or are you talking poverty and
failure and thinking continually of
petty economies and putting oft to
some indefinite day in the future the
pleasure and recreations which you
might all be enjoying now?
Now is the ante-room to heaven.
If you are making it miserable, dull
or unhappy tor those who belong to
you, you are spoiling heaven.
And what will you get here, or
hereafter, to 'recompense you? As
you are, you will be. Make yourself
worth while now. Indianapolis

New York City. The blouse that
Is closed at the left of the front is a
favorite one ot the season and has a
great many practical advantages. It
is simple and girlish and Is very easy
to slip on and off. This one can r
made either with the long plain
Bleeves or with those in regulation
shirt waist style and the neck can be
finished with the fashionable Dutch
collar or with a neck band. Plain
linen trimmed with striped Is the ma
terial illustrated.
The blouse is made with fronts and
back. There are tucks laid over the
shoulders, which extend to the waist
line at the back, but only for a short
distance at the front. The plain
sleeves are made in one piece each,
and can be finished at the wrists to
suit the fancy. The shirt waist
sleeves are gathered and Joined to
straight cuffs. When the Dutch col
lar if. used it can be either joined to
the neck edge or finished separately
and adjusted over it.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size Is three and
seven-eighth yards twenty-four, two
and five-eighth yards thirty-two or
two yards forty-four inches wide with
three-quarter yards any width for the
belt and trimming.
Girl's Dress.
A semi-princess dress for a young
girl was a neat attraction in white ba
tiste, trimmed with flounce of em
broidery in a banana shade. That
is, the flounce was white and embroid
ered in a small pattern of banana col
ored flowers. Bands of scalloped In
sertion decorated the seams. The
yoke and sleeve arrangement was
white net. The colors are extremely
beautiful in a combination, and it is
really a wonder that more white and
buff tints are not used, especially
when there is so much demand for
color schemes.
Black and White.
With the white serge or other light
suit finished with collar and cuffs of
black moire is carried a handbag of
the moire.
Rolled Hat Brim.
A modish touch is seen in the hat
brim rolled up at one side and fast
ened agaliiHt the crown with fruit or
flowers. This rolling is smarter if
ngulnst the side front rather than di
rectly on the side.
Pinnfore Bodice.
The pinafore bodice is one of the
latest developments of fashion and Is
exceedingly attractive. It Is worn
over a gulmpe and it consequently
can be made from almost any season
able material. This one la simple in
the extreme and makes its own finish
at the lower edge. In the illustration
It Is made of white linen with threads
of blue and is worn over a gulmpe ot
tucked net.' For the neck and arm
hole edges any banding can be util
ized or some pretty little braided de
sign could be substituted. '
The pinafore Is made with front
and back portions. The front is
fitted by means of dart tucks and is
extended to form a girdle,' which is
lapped over onto the backs. The
gulmpe Is a plain fitted one with
long one-piece sleeves.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for the pina
fore, two and five-eighth yards twenty-one
or twenty-four, two yards thirty-two
or one and a half yards forty
four inches wide, two and a half yards
of banding; for the gulmpe one yard
of material thirty-six with one anc
seven-eighth yards eighteen for t'j
yoke and sleeves. - ,

A SIGHT FOR THE ELK.
At a country fair out in Kansas a
man went up to the tent where some
elk were on exhibition and stared
wistfully up at the sign.
"I'd like to go In there," he eald to
the keeper, "but it would be mean to
go in without my family, and I can't
afford to pay for my wife and seven
teen children."
The keeper stared at him in aston
ishment. "Are all these your children?" he
gasped.
"Every one," said the man.
"You wait a minute," said the
keeper. "I'm going to bring the elk
out and let them see you all." Phil
adelphia Record.
In Consequenoe, New Enterprises Are
Encouraged and Confidence
Restored.
New York. It. G. Dun & Company's
"Weekly Review-of Trade," says:
"No one can now question the sub
stantial character of the revival in
the iron and steel trade which is rap
idly rising to high water mark levels.
Th outDut of the nrlncloal producers
has already reached within a moderate
percentage of full capacity, and rail
roads, as well as builders in leading
branches of construction work, are In
the market with their orders. This
wonderful chango, in a short period,
tn the activity of the greatest manu
facturing Industry of the country; the
bright outlook for the crops, that of
corn giving promise of an unprece
dented yield; the cheapness of
money; and the fact that the tariff
bill has been passed by the senate;
these are the conspicuous features of
the business situation. Naturally
they serve to strengthen the new born
confidence and to encourage new en
terprises. The maintenance of trade
revival is all the more remarkable be
cause this is the usual season of crop
uncertainty and mid-summer mercan
tile dullness.
