Tho colony of lepers on tho Island of Molokal In tho Hawaiian group is again called to tho attention of the outHldo world by tho snd report that Ilrotbcr Ira Dutton has been stricken Jvlth leprosy, Ira Barnes Dutton waj Lorn at Stowo, Vt., In 1843, nnd Is, therefore, In bin Blxty-nlnth year. He Went west before tho Civil War, and when thnt broko out ho enlisted In tho zounvo cadets of Zancsvlllo, Wis, Uoforo tho war onded ho becamo o captain, and was known as Captain Dutton until ho becamo a mombor of tho Dominican order. Brother Dutton Is tho last of tho pioneer nurses who volunteered to caro for tho lepers at Molokal, whoro they wore ocgregatcd by Fathor Damlcn. Ho has dono his duty well, and now that ho has been stricken with tho dread dlscaso, It can easily bo believed that tho report 1b truo that Jio lu facing death with tho sumo brnvory tbat was shown by his predecessor, tbo moro wldoly known Fathor Damlon, To bo brave In bnttlo, as Captain Dutton proved himself to bo, Is ono thing; to faco death from exposuro to an Insidious and lingering dlsoaso, nnd thnt, too, for tho good of one's fellow-men, Is qulto nnolhor thing, saya tho Man chester Union, Brother Dutton has nhown himself capable of both.

If your complexion is n brunette tint do not make tho mistake of ap plying a whlto powder. It is plainly visible against tho darker skin, giving a flagrant "niado up" look to tho en tiro face. Powdor is obtainable In Ecvernl flesh and ivory shades. First apply a good cold cream, the.?, dust on the powder, rubbing it veil in with a soft cloth or plcco of ab sorbeiy; cotton. Bo careful to havq tho powder ovonly distributed mak ing certain it extends behind the pars to tho back of tho nock and well down on tho throat. Brush tho eyebrows and eyolnshea to removo all traces of powder and see that nono remains In tho edges of tho hair. Gift For Baby. Babies nlwujs need bibs, and It Is enay to mako theso. Thoy may bo plain ones or fancy, finished with em broidery laco or fcather-Btltchlng; but nn Important point to remember when ranking a bib is to fit a pad of absor bent cotton under tho outer-covering, olso tho molsturo from tho littlo one's mouth will soak through and ruin tho dainty frock underneath. A pillow-slip Is also a nlco gift for baby. It may bo mado of fine llnon, embroidered on each end with a dain ty aprny of blossoms. This should cover a small down pillow. Another idea is u bnBsinctto or car riago cover of French flannel, deco ratcd with garlands of daisies or rose-, buds worked In natural colored floss." To mako tho covor still moro elabo- rato, crochet laco medallions may bo inserted in tho center of each garland. Three Types of Gowns.

Thoro is tho classic typo, with sinuous, winding draperies cndlngin a narrow train. Thoro is tbo debu tnnto typo (worn by every woman who believes alio looks best in girlish ef fects), which has flounces on tho skirt and usually a saBh knotted nround tho waist. And there- is tho pannier type, which Ib gay and chic and eminently Pnrlelan, with Its puffed-out or looped over drapcy nnd skirt abort enough to reveal coquotttnh littlo satin slip pers with high heols nnd sparkling buckles, or the pretty buttoned boots of satin, which do mnko tbo foot and, unklo adorably slim and distinguished.

DESSERTS. Most of tho sterner sex feel as If they had been deprived of their jUBt dues and had not a perfect meal un less they have had sorao kind of a pud ding or pie for dessert. "Thcso trifles light an air" do not appeal to their taste. So even In warm weather, when an occasional cool day arrives, Is a good titno to prepare a heavier dessert. Here is one to keep on band and steam up for occasions: French Fruit Pudding. To a cup of flnoly chopped suet add a cup of mo lasses and a cup of sour milk, then two nnd three-fourths cups of flour sifted with a teaspoon and a half of sodu, half a teaspoon of salt and cloves, a teaspoon of cinnamon. When well mixed add a cup and a fourth of raisins and three-fourths of a cup of currants. Steam four hours In a but tered mold. Sterling Sauce. Serve this sauce with tho abovo pudding: Cream a half cup of butter, add a cup of brown Bugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla and four tablcspoonfuls of milk. Add tho milk drop by drop to keep tho mix ture smooth. Fig Pudding. Chop a third of a pound of beef suet, add a half pound of chopped figs; cream the suet before adding the flgs. Soak two and a half cups of bread crumbs In a half cup of milk, add two beaten eggs, a cup of BUgar and three-fourths of a .teaspoon of salt Mix all together and steam three hours. Servo with egg sauce. Two beaten eggs, a cup of powdered BUgar and three tablcspoonfuls of any fruit Juice. Maple Sauce for Ice Cream. Put a pound of maple sugars broken In bits, a cup of thin cream and two tablc spoonfuls of butter In a granite r.auce pan; boil without stirring until It forms n soft, waxy ball, when dropped In cold water. Keep the pan in anoth er of hot water until ready to serve. It will candy on the lco cream as it does on anow in sugoTlng time. If carefully dropped in small amounts it may bo eaten with comfort.

DIET FOR RHEUMATISM. Rheumatism Is ono of tiio diseases which Is especially influenced by diet. In acute cases a fluid diet of gruels, vegctablo boupb and all forms of milk are used. Alcohol 1b especially tabooed, drinks of lemonade without sugar, butterrjulk nnd fruit drinks are pcrmissnblo. Sac charin supplies tho placo of sugnr when needed without nny of its. harm ful effects. (lout is apt to follow an attack of rheumatism because of tho large ac cumulation of uric acid in the system. Whenever It Is found In the By3tem, oven In small quantities, special at tention should bo paid to tho diet, Ono wlso old proverb to follow is to "eat less, work more, worry loss, walk more." Only Just food enough to sustain tne body should bo eaten. Eating too much 1b very harmful. Three slender mcalB a day, with nothing between meals, aro BUfllclent. Alcoholic drinks as well as sweets and sugnr should be avoided oven in mild cases of the trouble. Oystorfl may bo served In thhs diet providod tho hard muscle is removed. Milk seasoned with the oyster liquor, when ono tiros of milk, mnlios a aesir- nblo change. Junket, or whey, Is borno by the moat dellcnto Btomachs. Sweeten a quart cf milk with saccharin, add a tablespoonful of rennet, or n tablet dis solved In a tablespoonful of water, a tablespoonful of lomon Juice; let Btund until thlckl chill and servo. Do not eliako, ns tho whey will separate from tho curd. Tho whey may bo poured off and used as n drink nnd tho curd giver as a food. If milk causos gastric disturbances, t may bo peptonized. In a quart can put flvo grains of tho extract of pan crontln, a pinch of baking soda and a gill of wator; shako and add a pint of milk. Put into a warm place lor an liour. Mhcn Bllghtly bitter In tasto nnd n g: '.ylBh yellow In color, Bcnld or )ut ou ice to prevent further digestion'. This milk will bo easily aaslmllated, as It Is predlgegted. CANNING HINTS. It may be well to romomber tbat fruit picked after a heavy rain, espe cially bcrrlea llko raspberries, will havo lost much of their flavor. Currants picked nfter a heavy rain 1 .1 M igv loll are not as good for Jelly making ai those picked after drying off. When canning pineapple try thi3 method: Slice tho fruit or Bhred it In the form desired, nnd cook It until tender In clear water. Then use tho water with sugar to make n heavy sirup to pour over the plnctdc In tho cans. Seal and put away for win ter. A method of canning which Is bo good that every busy housewife chould at least try it, Is this: Put the fruit to be canned In the Jars, have a thick, rich sirup of sugar and water with per haps some of the inferior or crushed berries, though nono of them should be spoiled. Pour this boiling hot sirup over the fruit in the Jars and submerge them in a boiler of boiling water, so What four inches of water covers the tops of tho cans. They should b3 tlghtlyisealed. Cover the boiler with an old carpet or rug and let stand for twenty-four hours, then remove, see that the tops are Bcrewed tight, and put away for the winter. Currants for jelly making should not bo too ripe' as tho pectin Is changed to sugar and the jelly will n,ot jell. The last few days of June and the first days of July are consid ered tho best timo for currant Jelly making. Currants and raspberries In equal parts make a delicious Jelly, the cur rants supplying tho pectin and tho raspberry tho flavor. Jelly should bo drained slowly from a jelly bag bung and allowed to drip. If the Juice iB squeezed out the Jelly will be thick and leathery In appear ance. To mako a Jelly bag, fold two oppo site corners of a piece of cotton or wool flannel three-fourths of a yard long. Sew up In the form of a cornu copia, with a rounding. end. VIGOUOUS temper Is not al together an evil, men who aro as easy as an old shoo re generally of as littlo worth. - Spurgeon. WHAT TO DO WITH LEFT-OVERS. "Every day Is a fresh beginning" with left-overs. They are llko house work, "powerful constant." It Is In deed surprising what good and appe tizing dishes may be prepared from the combination of two or more foods. To the frugal and saving cook, "all is fish that comes to her net." A cupful of cooked spinach left from dinner may be mixed with mashed potato, egg and seasonings and sauted in bacon fat, making a nice little luncheon or breakfast dish. An escalloped dish of rice and as paragUB left-overs Is most appetizing. Put a layer of cooked rice Iri a ba king dish, pour over asparagus which has been served with whlto sauce, an other layer of rice and asparagus and finish with crumbs well buttered. Bake until thoroughly hot. If there Is not enough of the asparagus, add a hard cooked egg or two to the com bination. For a good dessert in an emergency, try using this: Butter a few slices of bread, lay them In a baking dish and pour over cooked pieplant, or fresh Is better; sprinkle with sugar, put on an other layer of buttered bread, cover with the pieplant and bake. ThiB des sert may be covered with a meringuo or not as ono likes. Mutton Ragout. Beat currant Jelly until smooth, measure three table spoonfuls In a hot saucepan, add a tea spoonful of lemon juice and two ta blespoonfuls of butter. When tho but ter Is melted, reheat thin slices of cold boiled mutton in- sauce. Season wltht salt and paprika. Minced Lamb. Chop remnants of cold roast lamb; thero should be a cupful. Put two tablespoonfuls of but tor in a hot saucepan, and when melt ed add tho lamb, some salt, pepper and celery salt, and dredge thorough ly with flour; then add enough stock or water to moisten. Servo hot on small slices of buttered toast. Dried beef chipped in small pieces and added to a rich white sauce makes a lino accompaniment to baked pota toes for i luncheon or supper dish.

ALMOST FRANTIC WITH ITCHING ECZEMA "Eight years ago I got eczema all over my hands. My fingers fairly bled nnd it itched until it almost "drove mo frantic.

Then It spread all over the left side of my chest. A fine doc tor treated tho trouble two weeks, but did mo no good. I cried night and day.
