VANISHING LIGHTNING ROD.
Tho death of John Cole, authority

In the HchtnlnK-rod business, call nt
tentlon to tho undoubted fact that hu
manity lfl not bo fearful of lightning
an It was a generation ago. Tho light

Ho Is no longer a subject for tho Joke

protects against "flre, lightning, wind
Btortim and tornadoes" Bcems to have
taken tho placo of tho pintlrium-tlppod
rod that used to Btud tho roofs of the
fearful and tho prudent. There- aro
thousands of farmers nnd business
men who never mot a lightning-rod
agent. Certainly tho electrical cur

and property as they wero when tho

than in tho pant, ns tho country Is

therefore, In bin Blxty-nlnth year. He

Dutton until ho becamo a mombor of

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

In bnttlo, as Captain Dutton proved
himself to bo, Is ono thing; to faco
death from exposuro to an Insidious

for tho good of one's fellow-men, Is
qulto nnolhor thing, saya tho Man

nhown himself capable of both.

POWDER FOR THE BRUNETTE
Detail That Must Be Kept In Mind,
or Unsatisfactory Results Are
Assured.
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 nro thrco Boparato and dis
tinct typea of evening gowns this eca
goii, nnd every new dinner gown par
takes of ono or the other of theso
lypes. 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.
Taffeta the Favorite.
Tnffotn la porhaps moro Meed thnn
any other kind of silk for thla sea
con's littlo cont, though tho soft satins
stubbornly retnln their popularity
hero as olsowhoro In fnshlon!s realm.
Many of the costumes sent over by
tho best Pnrlslnn do8lgnorB,Bhow fan
ciful littlo contB associated with ono
plcco frocko. In tho more consorvntlvo
models tho coat Is in tho snmo tono
na tho frock, though It Is llkoly to bo
In contrnBtlng mntorlal; but porhnpa
moro frequently tho cont contrasts In
color with tho frock, though Its color
may find an echo In some trimming
note In tbo frock.
Pleated Skirts.
Tho now tailored BklrtB combine
comfort In wnlklng with a Bllm np
pearance, nnd the fashionable paneled
skirts conceal their width' In knife
plaited folds which are only discov
ered when wnlklng, and which dror

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

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 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.

"Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
nnd it itched until it almost "drove mo
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under tho skin. It spread fast
from between tbo fingers around tho
nails and all over tho wholo bands. I
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. . Then It spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated tho trouble two weeks, but
