REGARDING UMBRELLAS.
The Favorlto Shapes In Handles Arc Long i J
and Narrow.
Never was there a feminine heart
that didn't delight in umbrellas, ami <
surely the designers know it, for they ! 1
rake every artistic Instinct in their i
souls to devise and satisfy this longing. 1
Handles of gold and silver are chjl- 1
dreu of a day that is done. They were
cheaply imitated, and smart women
put their real ones asido in disgust and •
took to those of wood.
This set the pace to those who were
not modish folk, and fashion whirled
from the mineral to the vegetable
kingdom. I
And now have we umbrellas of finest
silk with handles of wood, upon which
tho artists pluco many designs. The
favorite shapes in handles are long and
narrow, One odd variety of newest
build is of gnarled importod wood,
*■- without a somblaitce of polish, ending
at tho top in a grotesque or picturesque
head made of bisque. One is of a little
Dutch boy, with a water lily inverted
over his head. Another ends in a cross
'egged Brownie and others in rty*

tomatoes, with tho four green loaves
at the top.
Those of rough wood with largo chcr- |
ries sprinkled over the handle are sold,
but are not a bit smart in tone.
The preferable ones are carved in
long slabs that are tipped with silver
or twisted in a circle at the end that
the owner may slip her hand in to hold
it better.
A style that fits the woman in the
rough tailor gown is built similarly to
* a man's cane, having a broad claw of : j
wood or burnt ivory tipped with silver
placed at right angles to the handle
proper.
Burnt ivory is very fashionable still,
especially if mounted with narrow fili
gree silver bands, and some devices
show an elf's face carved into the ivory,
surmounted by a cap of silver. Very
dressy umbrellas have handles of plain
mother of pearl, fashioned column
like; others have a large amethyst or
emerald laid into the metal at the end.
But women who dress modishly don't
go in for any of these styles as much as
they do for the rough or scented wood,
twisted and turned and capped charily
with silver.
A word us to the care of your um
brella. Never put it ferrule down
ward when wet. If you can't open it
and allow it to dry at its best, which is
i tho correct method, then place it han
die downward, so there is no chance
for the drippings to remain in the tip
and rot the silk. Again, never go out
with your umbrella uurolled when not
in use. It is a world of suving if tho
cover is always kept on it, to say noth
ing of the smarter appearance It makes.
—Jocelyu Davis, in Chicago Record.
Woman's Most Attractive Age.
The most attractive age of a woman's
life is the period when she is still
young enough to be pretty and old
enough to be sympathetic, writes Oc
tave Tlianet in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. For as grace is a woman's great
est beauty so sympathy is her greatest
charm. A graceful and sympathetic
woman is bound to be attractive to the
end of her days. If she adds a taste in
dress and some sense to her equip
ment for pleasing and docs not grow
deaf I see no reason why she should
not be fascinating in her old ago.
Since the question, however, concerns
itself only with the most attractive
4 age of woman 1 must give the answer in
my first sentence. What that age as
measured by years may be ought to
vary with the individuaL
Fried Johnny Cakes Are Fin©.
/)id you ever eat fried "Johnny
cakes?" They ure perfectly delicious,
and arc, I think, indigenous to Missouri.
I never ate them anywhere else, at any
rate. Take a cupful of sour milk, one
cupful of sweet milk, two eggs and
enough soda to sweeten the mess. To
this add in cornmeal and flour till you
can make firm round balls of tho
dough by working it in your hands
make them small, using one-third flour,
the rest meal—and then drop them in
hot lard and fry as you would dough
nuts. Eat them when hot, with butter,
or make a gravy as for cream toast,
then cut the doughuts open and covel
with the gravy.—N. Y. World
HOW TO SERVE APPLES.
Four Nice Ways in Which They Can Ba
Prepared for the Tabic.
The French oook who professed to
cook apples in 400 different ways was
not necessarily exaggerating. Hero
are some of tho nice things which cau
bo made:
Buttered Apples.—Pare and core six
nice apples and place them whole in a
saucepan with a piece of butter tho
nizo of an egg; put a tcaspoonful of su
gar in each of the holes where tho
cores were and stick a clove in each ap
ple; stew very gently, covering tho
saucepan that they may cook tender by
the steam; turn them occasionally,
and when very tender lay them on a
glass dish containing half-inch layer
of apple marmalade; put a cube of red
currant jelly on the top of each, dust
with sugar and cinnamon and servo
very cold.
Compote.—This is much superior to
apple saueo. Put one-half pound of su
gar and a pint of water in a granite
preserving pan, add the thin yellow
rind and juice of two lemons; boil un
til tho scum rises, remove it and add
six apples, pared, cored and quartered.
Simmer until the apples are clear with
out breaking them if possible. It will
take about 20 minutes.
Frosted Apples.—Simmer a dozen ap
ples with their skins on in tho wuter
containing a small piece of alum. Put
them over in cold water and when tho
skins will pull off with the fingers re
move them and dip the apples in melt
ed butter; sprinkle thickly with coarso
granulated sugar and bake in a slow
oven. If carefully done they will
sparkle as if frosted. Pile in a pyramid
and pass whipped cream with them.
Miroton of Apples.—Stew half a dozen
pared, cored and sliced apples with a
very little water, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and some powdered cinnamon.
When reduced to a pulp spread this
smoothly in a dish. IJoil eight lumps
of cut sugar with a teacupful of water
and the thinly-grated rind of two
lemons for a few minutes; add butter
the size of an egg, a spoonful of flour,
tho yolks of two eggs and the white of
one; mix all these well over the fire
and spread over the apples. Whip tho
two remaining whites to a stiff froth
and when the custard is cold pile the
whipped whites upon it; sift sugar on
the top and set in the oven a moment
for the apples to brown.—American

ELECTRIC TEATKETTLE.
New Application of Modern Progress to
Drawing-Room lues.
A firm of London silversmiths has
produced an electric tea kettle, which
is said to have considerable vogue in
London drawing-rooms.
The primary and very appreciable
attraction of the electric kettle is its
absolute cleanliness. There are, of
course, no fumes of any kind from tho
electric light which is used to produce
the heat, and therefore the process of
using the kettle is absolutely cleanly.
Nr is the simplicity of the new kettle
and its method of use any less admir
able than its perfect cleanliness. It is
only necessary to attach tho cord in
which the electric wires are inclosed to
any connection which muy be fitted up
in a room for lighting purposes, and
the apparatus is in working order in a
moment. The kettle, which is a vory
shapely and agreeable production, is
made in such away that when it is
filled with water and placed upon the
stand in which is the electric lamp,it can
be tilted up and the water poured from
it without the necessity of removing it
rom tho stand, and by this means the
AN ELECTIUOTEA KET TLB,
risk of scalding the hands or of spill
ing the water is avoided. The lumps
with which these kettles arc fitted are
of varying powers, ranging from eight
to fifty-candle power, the most useful
size, which is generally recommended
for ordinary purposes, being of sixteen
cundle power. This size is very service
able and economical in usage, and
cupable of affording all the heat which
is required under ordiuary circum
stances. A lamp of this strength Is
amply sufficient to keep boiling water
hot as long as may be necessary, while
one of fifty-candle power will boil a
pint of quite cold water In twelve
minutes, while to go to the other ex
treme one of even eight-candle power
•viil suffice to keep water hot.

How a Number of Hoys Can Perform a
Horse Pyramid.
The following description of u pyra
mid performed by an English class of
boys was published in the Gymnast and
Athletic Review, and will be found well
worth trying:
"The horse is without pommels, the
end of the buck in contact with the
side of the horse at the saddle. Posi
tions indicated as they appear when
facing the side of the horse on which
the buck stands.
"One hcadstand, head on buck, hands
on horse, elbows well turned out.
"Two lieadstands on ground opposite
the end eff the horse.
"Two boys standing on ground at
ends of horse facing out and raising
legs of two front leaning rests, hands
on ends of horse, feet supported us
above.
"Two boys in lunge position, foot of
advanced leg resting on shoulder
f){ leaning rest, foot of other leg on tho
arm of the hendstand (as near the arm
pit us possible).
"Two boys kneeling oh one knee in
front, and slightly to one side of the
buck (inside knee raised).
"Two boys in front leaning rest,
hands on raised knee, feet on buck.
"At the command: 'lnto piwition—
march.'
"One headstand stands on ground on
far side of horse, hands on saddle.
"Two lieadstands stand opposite ends
of horse facing in.
"Two boys standing on ground stand
opposite ends of horse facing out.
"Two front leaning rests stand oppo
site ends of horse facing in.
"Two kneelers on one knee stand in
front of the buck fucing forward.
"Two leaning rests on kneelers stand
behind above.
"Two lungers ou headstand and
leaning rest stand on far side of horse
facing in (opposite neck and croup).
"At one. Lungers squat to stand on
croup and neck. Ivncclcrs on one knee
down.
"At two. Boys standing on ground
raise front leaning rests. Leaning
rests on buck and kneelers on one kneo
in position. Headstand on buck and
horse up.
"At three. lieadstands on floor up.
Lungers on lieadstands and leaning
rests up (grasping ankle of hcadstand,
putting the advanced foot on shoulder
of leaning rest, and the other foot on
arm of headstand, keeping most of the
weight on leaning rests).
"At four. Lungers down to stand on
horse, headstands on floor down, lean
ing rests on buck, and kneelers down.
"At five. Lungers jump to ground,
front leaning rests on horse down,
kneelers and one knoc rise, headstand
on horse and buck head roll off over
buck.
"This pyramid may be varied by sul>-
stituting handstands on neck and
croup for front leaning rests, in
which case the lungers would come to
straddle stand, inside foot on head
stands arm and outside foot on bead of
handstand, inside hand grasping ankle
of headstand and outside hand that of
handstand.

filled up with leaning rests (hands on
floor, feet on croup and neck, or h. ad

the number of men for which tho
pyramid is re- quired)."
Sho Picks L'p tho Scraps.
A ten-year-old girl in Denver makes
a living for herself and her invalid
mother picking up scraps. £ho was
asked to pick up scraps where sewing
was being done so much that tho idea
entered her head that she could make
money that way, so she canvassed from
house to house until she had a sufU
! cient nmmber of patrons to make 81 a
day. When sewing is completed tho
room Is left until she comes and picks
up all the scraps before it is swept.
For, as is well known to all housekeep
ers, it is impossible to remove them
with a broom without damaging the
carpets, and the work of picking them
up is very irksome to a grown person.
The little girl has been at it for several
months now and has more orders than
sho cao attend to.
ABOUT BLACKHEADS.
moot luvarlably They Are an ludlcutlou
of (ieiieml Debility.
Blackheads, or comedo, as it is called,
is a disorder of the sweat-glands by
which t.l; 1 eci m dist< m d with yel
lowish or whitish matt' v. In the cen
ter of the elevations, which are only of
pinhead size, arc to be seen the black
ish points which give the discaso its
name.
The spots are usually numerous, and
make their appearance mostly on the
face and neck. They run a peculiarly
sluggish course, and by their presence
the skin acquires a thick, muddy com
plexion.
Blackheads are almost invariably an
indication of general debility, as they
are a sign of a badly working skin.
Their appearance is usually accompan
ied by marked dyspepsia and constipa
tion.
The treatment of blackheads is iden
tical with that for toning up the system
in general. Clean out the bowels,
sharpen the appetite, enrich the blood,
and the tendency to the trouble will bo
removed or lessened. Saline aperient
waters should be drunk freely and
every attention paid to the diet.
As a local treatment the skin should
have frequent applications of water as
hot as can be comfortably borne, to
gether with plenty of castlle soap and
friction. The little black cones may
be cosily expelled by means of a watch
key. Stimulating ointments and
wushes should be used, especially those
containing sulphur, as this substance
is not only a good skin tonic, but is
specially useful in the disorder of
which we are speaking.
A lotion containing equal parts of
sulphur, glycerine, chrbonate of pot
ash and alcohol, is a valuable remedy,
us it is cleansing and soothing.
Sometimes the swollen sweat-gland
contains a small curled hair, some
times u parasito known as Demodex
folliculorum, which, however, is harm
less and in no way the cause of the dis
easo.
Attention must of course le directed
to any disease of the stomach or lev
els that may exist.—Youth's Compan

PRETTY CHINA CLOSET.
' low to L'ttlizo the Corner of a Doom to
DbpJuy l ine Ware.
As china has now developed into an
art the china closet has become a part
of the famishing of the dining-room.
At each corner in well-appointed houses
these quaint cupboards have a wonder
ful, pieturesquo effect, and add much
to the decorations of this room. Of
wood, the curly birch or ash with brass
furnishings arc considered by artistic
people to be the best. In one house
where some artists live the lower
shelves of these cupboards, which aro
closed by a wooden door, have a quaint
motto in brass, which adds to their
clever ornamentation. And the glass
part of these good, useful and delight
ful decorative bitsextends almost to tho
broad frieze of the wall paper.
Of china, the Copenhagen ware Is tho
most expensive. It is a wonderful blue,
which is of a slate-color effect. The
brown Doulton pitcher, with its queer
lettering, its designs of odd figures and
its flowery wreaths in tones of creams,
arc great for the pretty china closet.
The chocolate pot, which is of ever}*
design and shapo, can be purchased for
from five dollars to the low price of
one dollar and fifty cents, and yet
every one is a model of the chinamak
cr's skill. As n good background for
this decorative affair two or three good
fish or dessert plates will show oif ad
mirably well if placed securely by a
fair-sized tack against the back of the
shelf. In these dainty closets the
cracker jar and cheese plate should bo
always on hand.
At a supper given in on artistio din
ing-room not long ago the china closet
was a symphony in blue. The nankeen
china being the scheme, every piece
from tho glass front presented to tho
eye a series of Chinese pictures, with
their pagoda effects and peculiar forms
so distinct with these people.
If the china closet Is a low one, on
its top there should be a stunning vase,
cither in Mexican or South American
pottery, or a fine piece of Japanese
rock wood will do excellent duty. These
colors of terra cotta or browns are ml-

mirably suited for a high place, and aro

j Many of these closets have silk cur
tains fastened by ends to a brass rod.

most gorgeous. I hit any simple drapery
will do if the curtain design is wanted.
To secure a line decorative bit—all
tones in china for a closet should be
complementary—use pink very sparing

which gilt has a good share is the

are a variety of models to choose from.
An old pattern and probably the best,
because it will hold the most, is the

(Fig. 1.). It is made with three legs
and two short braces between them

as follows: Measure tho depth of tho

long enough to raise it to a level with

of boards notched at tho bottom. A

is useful for a variety of purposes as

well as a br.ieo to strengthen the
bench. Another pretty stand is a rack
added to the top of a bench (Fig. 3). It
is faced to the window and rests upon
the sill. It will hold a large number
of pots on its two shelves and on tho
bench.
An arrangement which seems to bo
the most perfect in every respect, be
cause of its allowing the plants all the
sunshine and being out of the way
when the room is swept, is a plant rack
made of hanging shelves (Fig. 4). Tho
top shelf is eighteen inches to two feet
! from the glass, while the bottom
shelf is on a level with the window sill.
The weight of the rack and plants is
supported entirely by tho window
frame to which it is screwed at the
bottom and held by a strong wire at
the top. It is easily taken down and
put aside in the spring. A neat finish
to all of these plant racks Is dark
green paint. Nothing is so pretty and
appropriate for the green foliage and.
bright flowers. —Elizabeth 11. Sage, in
