ARMY HORSES HARD TO OET.
Pircbailnff Department Find* Difficulty
In Meeting the Requirement*.
The entire northwest is being ran
sacked by agents of the war depart
ment in quest of horses suitable for
the cavalry and artillery of the army.
The horses procured are for the most
part brought to Chicago, where they
are inspected, and then distributed
wherever there is need of them. Among
the requirements are the color of the
animal, its weight and its height. The
owner must stand the expense of hav
ing the two front shoes removed, fur
nish a halter and have the animal
"weighed. "It would require the ani
mals to be molded," said a horse trader
at the stockyards. "As yet there are
few horses that we have received that
come up to the requirements of the or
der, and an owner having a horse that
would answer the style that is wanted
by the army demands a larger price
than the government offers to pay."
The local horsemen state that the gov
ernment will have to make some allow
ance on the order or it will not get the
requisite number from this territory.
Horses are being secured that will
come up to the requirements in many
respects, but it is feared that they will
be turned down by the government
buyer the same as they were last year.

the message: "The president says he
cannot see you, and adds that he is a

fIOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
The Appetizing; Truffle*
Mushrooms and truffles bear about
the same relation to each other as milk
and cream. In this country at least
truffles are never common, though ia
some States there is a fixed supply. A
truffle is as rioh, sweet and altogether
fascinating in flavor as a perfect wal
nut. It grows entirely under ground,
is in shape akin to various varieties of
mushrooms, and in appearance some
times suggests tripe—the tissue forms
reducedja size. As milk has more
uses than cream, so mushrooms may
be more freely indulged in than truf
fles, because of their relative richness;
but a dish of truffles is something to
be remembered if properly prepared.
—Woman's Home Companion.
The Use of Cooking:- Butter.
Every housekeeper knows that the
term "cooking-butter" means a grade
of butter that is not quite fresh enough
for table use, and is therefore only fit
to be used in cooking. The trouble is
that in some houses butter never
seems]to become too stale to be utilized
in the preparation of various dishes,
and it is employed in the interest of
economy even after it has acquired a
rancid flavor. When table-butter has
lost its fresh fragrance of flavor and
odor, it is still in perfectly proper con
dition to use as an ingredient in sea
soning; but when it begins to be strong
in taste or odor, even in a slight de
gree, it is ruinous as a seasoning and
impairing as an ingredient. It is
nothing short of sinful that so mauy
good dishes should be spoiled by an
unintelligent economy which, sup
posedly representing a saving of five
or ten dollars a year, in reality is the
most wasteful practice common to a
kitchen. For butter that has grown
strong the soap-fat jar is the only
proper destiny.—Woman's Home Com
panion.
Hints in Case of Fire.
It is well to remember that water
poured on burning oil is only fuel to
the flame; fcatter flour over the oil
and the blaze will bo speedily extin
guished.
Salt thrown upon a fire—for in
stance, if the chimney is burning—
will help to deaden the blaze. If
chimney flues were lined with vitri
fied drain pipes, which are quite inex
pensive, the chimneys would be abso
lutely fireproof. A;i outward cover
ing of some fireproof, rustproof, non
conducting jacket on the hot-air pipes
would not only be a very good pre
cautionary measure, but would save
heat now radiated from the tin.
A silk handkerchief dipped in water
is the best thing to wrap about the
mouth and nostrils to prevent suffoca
tion from smoke; failing this, a piece
of wet flannel or cloth will answer the
purpose.
Should the smoke fill the room be
fore you can get to the window wrap
a blanket or woolen garment about
you, with the wet cloth over the face,
drop on the hands and knees and
crawl to the window. Smoke goes
first to the top of the room and to the
floor last, so that some time is thus
secured.
It is well to remember that theze is
no more danger in getting out of a
high window than out of one on a first
floor, if thero is nerve and a cool de
termination to hold on to the rope or
ladder. Don't try to slide down, but
go hand over hand, keeping the body
near the wall, and break the slide by
scraping the feet along the wall.
In removing burned clothing from
a person cut everything loose; there
must bo no dragging or pulling. Do
not try to save any of the clothing,
but if any purt sticks to tho body let
it remain and not to break
any blisters.—Chicago Record.
Hint* For the Housewita.
Keep a marble iu the kettle to take
up tho "fur."
A very little milk in tepid water ia
excellent for wiping off painted doors
and oilcloths.
To prevent kerosene lamps from
smelling, as they sometimes will do,
even when perfectly clean, put a table
spoonful of salt into the oil.
Kings set with valuable stones
should be taken oil" when washing the
hands. The constant use of soap dis
colors tho gems and loosens the set
tings.
The trying yellow spots so ofteD
loft by sewing machine oil on white
goods may be removod by rubbing the
stain with a elotb wet with amtnouiu
before washing with soap.
In order to olean bronze tho article
should be immersod in boiling water,
then rubbed with a piece of flannel
dipped in yellow soapsuds, and driod
with a soft cloth and chamois leather.
If you want to put away fire irons,
or to keep the grates or stoves in a
shut-up house from possible rust,
mako a stiff paste of unslaked lime
and water and apply thickly with a
brush.
The nasturtium sandwiches, which
are delioious served with salads, art
made of the petals of the flowers or
the young loaves placed botween slices
of thinly buttered bread, the plate
being decorated with tho blossoms.
Alabaster is usually cleaned with a
little warm soap and water, and a
brush, or with warm water, to which a
few grains of carbonate of soda have
been added. In either case it is
neoessary to rinse the alabaster in
clean water.
A much bettor polish on lamp
chimneys may bo obtained by not
using water. Rub the chimney first
with soft tissue pupor until the soot is
thoroughly removed, then sprinkle in
a little Halt, and rub with a dry flan
nel. Gloss treated in this way is
beautifully brilliant.

I FOR WOMEN. I
Millinery Store in Sail Juan.
A Porto Bico woman has opened a
millinery store in San Juan: She vis
ited the United States before the war
and gained her idea at that time. It
is the first store of the kind in Porto
Bico, and is said to be doing a flour
ishing business.
Business Club in Chicago.
The Chicago Business Woman's
Club has recently been organized, and
until it becomes self-supporting will
remain under the auspices of the
National Association of Women Sten
ographers.
It has a suite of six apartments in
tho business portion of tho city, with
a restaurant and rooms for rest and
recreation. A six-course dinner can
be obtained for twenty-five cents, or
an a la carte luncheon can bo pro
cured for less.
New Hair Brooches.
A new fashion, which has the un
usual advantage of combining a high
degree of usefulness with beauty,
probably will popularize wearing
of a brooch in the hair. The hair
broooh is usually worn on the back of
tho head, either slightly to the right
or left of the middle. It is used to
hold together the stray hairs, which
without it are apt to straggle below a
woman's coiffure. While this is a rea
son tfor the existenoe of the hair
brooch, its use is not confined to the
purpose of its creation, but it is free
ly worn as an ornament.
Tho brooch for use in this way, in
stead of being provided with an or
dinary pin, has a catch of the shape of
the outline of the brooch, so arranged
that it will firmly hold the hair in
position, and itself will remain in its
proper place.
Tho designs of hair brooches are
numerous. Wreaths seem to be the
most popular shape; maple leaves
enameled in their natural colors and
alternating with pearls or other pre
cious stones are popular. A single
leaf enameled is aIBO pretty. Some ar
tistio designs in tortoise shell are also
shown.
An Artistic Occupation.
A young woman in North Carolina
has entered a novel field of industry,
and is making it pay. Miss Jane L.
Buchan is the name of this pioneer
grape packer, and she has been in the
business for several years.
As the grape season lasts only a
few weeks, in order to make it pay
she contracts with different vineynrds,
and has a corps of experienced girl
workers, trained by herself. The
careful selecting of the fruit aud the
trimming and lining of baskets with
paper lace are particularly adapted to
the deft fingers of woman, and one
has a record of 113 baskets packed in
six hours.
The pioking is done only when tho
grapes are thoroughly dried from
previous showers, as the slightest
moisture causes them to mildew on
the trip north. Miss Buohan superin
tends the picking, as well as the pack
ing and shipping. Every imperfect
grape is pioked from the bunch, and
if more than two or three must bo
removed the entire cluster is dis
carded. These the packers are allowed
to take home with them.
The girls enjoy the work, and re
gard the season as a picnic. Miss
Buchan packs peaches and other fruits
with equal success.
Mistress and Maid.
Professor Mary Roberts Smith, of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University,
thinks that it is an "extraordinary in
consistency in a domestic society that
the dressmaker, the milliner and the
shopwoman may demand respectful
treatment, while the waitress and the
cook must accept the treatment ac
corded only to menialß."
The cause is "the liking of human
nature to commaud its inferiors.
Women, especially, do not want in
telligent equals to serve them; they
want an inferior, a subordinate—a
servant, not an employe."
Is not this a condensed expression
of the entire domestic-service prob
lem? The terms "mistress" and
"maid" imply not servioe but servi
tude. Disguise it as we may, that is
the real truth.
A maid is a luxury. The possession
of such a functionary testifies to the
respectability of the family. Two
maids aud we are rising in the world.
Three—we have arrived. Four, five,
six—wo are really among the best
people. Such are the distinction of
class, of which the maid is the badge.
Service is voluntary, mutual and
fraternal. Servitude is born of tho
"class consciousness," and in spite of
democratic pretense will survive,
acknowledged or unacknowledged,
until the human consciousness es
tablishes that equality so dear to
optimistio philosophers. When that
blessed day comes mistress and maid
will vanish and in their place will
appear two sisters, serving eaoh other
—but not for money.
It is clear from this that the ques
tion of "help" is not practical, and
sensiblo persons should not talk about
it. Leave it to the professors and
philosophers.—St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.

IVORY SOAP PASTE.
In fifteen minutes, with only a cake of Ivory Soap and water,
you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing; and will clean
carpets, rugs, kid gloves, slippers, patent, enamel, russet leather and
canvas shoes, leather belts, painted wood-work and furniture. The
special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that :t
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles
that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free applica
tion of water.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING.—To one pint of bollinir water add one and one-half ounces
(one-quarter of the smail size cake) of Ivory Soap cut Into shavinjrs. boil five minutes after the soap is
thoroughly dissolved. Remove from the fire and cool in convenient dishes (not tin). It *UI keep well

Ingenious Expedient.
A local correvspondent says that the

doing in tears. At last a highly val

came to his rescue and. after mature
reflection, was of opinion that the beet

Told of a Koynl Lad.
A writer in London Telegraph tella
' the following story about the king of
Spain as throwing light on that royal
lad's life: "One day, during his history
: lesson, the king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain came to lose Chile,
Mexico and other Spanish-American
! colonies. The story was narrated so
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spellbound and con
( tinned after it had ended to sit ab
sorbed in meditation. At last a thought
having struck him. he looked up to hia
professor and inquired: 'What must I
do in order to get back these countries
for Spain?' 'The first and most im
portant thing of all,' replied the cau
tious and diplomatic pedagogue, *is
that your majesty should—should—
grow up to be a man. When you are a
man' —'H'm!' muttered the lad, disen
chanted, 'when I'm a man it is not a
history professor's advice that I shall
be asking. I shall have a prime min
ister to tell me then.' "
