showered with congratulations and
good wishes.
Epsom Salts as an Anaesthetic.
Magnesium sulphate, commonly
known as epsom salts, is reported by
Dr. Samuel J. Melfter of New York
to have proved an anaesthetic when
injected into the spinal cord. Dr.
Meltzer’s statement was made before
the academy of medicine Thursday
evening and discussion of it is expect
ed at the meeting of the society of
surgeons this week. It is also report
ed that among several surgeons who
have tried the new anaesthetic one
gave it in a case of tetanus in the
hope of giving some relief and that it
actually produced a cure. Dr. Meltzer
points out that the discovery is only
in its experimental stage at present,
but thinks that what has been proved
should be known to the profession.—

Centenarian’s Independence.
The death of Senator David Wark,
the oldest member of the Canadian
parliament, recalls an anecdote which
illustrates his remarkable independ
ence. At the age of 101 he was still
holding the seat which had been his
for almost half a century. During his
last years his family had been worried
about his habit of traveling alone in
midwinter from his home in Frederic
town, N. B., to his post in Ottawa.
They urged him to let his daughter
accompany him. Senator Wark would
have none of her. “A man of my age,”
he said, “has all he can do taking
care of himself without having a
woman to look after.”
Vanderbilt’s Modern Village.
George W. Vanderbilt has created
Biltmore village, a model settlement
near Asheville, N. C„ and instituted
many benevolent and educational en
terprises for the benefit of his own
employes and the community in gen
eral. There are fifty cottages, besides
the stores and public buildings: a vil
ia£c green and a plaza, macadam
streets, lighted with electricity; a
Protestant Episcopal church, a hos
pital and dispensary, a parish school,
with equipment for industrial and
manual training for 115 pupils, and 'a
girls’ and boys’ club.
Show Amazing Ignorance.
Small knowledge of life outside
their own slums have many of the
boys in Manchester England. One of
them not long ago explained that a
plow was “a thing for flattening the
ground, it cut the grass short and was
life a knife on cart wheels.” Every
boy at a recent meeting had heard of
George Washington, but not one had
seen a cherry tree or a swallow on the
wing. "They put oil on them,” was
the explanation of the growth of trees
given by a lad whose father was an
engineer in a local mill.
Good Cold Weather Dish.
"No wonder cabbage is heating,”
said the farmer. "It perspires more
than any other living thing, animal or
vegetable. An acre of cabbage per
spires over twenty tons of water a
day. An acre of cabbage plants,
planted in rows eighteen inches apart
and eighteen inches from each other,
has been known to give off in twelve
hours precisely ten tons, 411 pounds
of water. So, if you want a good
heating dish for cold weather eat cab
bage, and you won’t go wrong.”
The most notable of the weddings
in the White House in recent years
were those of President Cleveland and
the Nellie Grant-Sartoris nuptials.
The Roosevelt-Longworth wedding
will be the first in many years in
which a daughter of a president has
been married in the White House.
For this reason and the immense
popularity of Miss Roosevelt, the af
fair has already taken on great pro
portions in the social eye.
Miss Roosevelt has a great many
young friends in Washington who
might be attendants on her wedding.
There are Miss Mathllde Townsend.
Miss Boardman, Miss Catherine Elk
ins and others, but she also has num
erous relatives in New York and Bos
ton. Besides this in the makeup of
the strictly wedding party the friends
of Mr. Longworth will be consulted so
that the affair will concern intimately
New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, and
the District of Columbia.
Miss Roosevelt is twenty-two years
old and is the only child of the Presi
dent by his first marriage. She made
her bow to society at a ball given in
1902 in the White House.
Mr. Longworth is a companionable
chap, thirty-six years old, heir to a
fortune of $20,000,000, member of one
of the best families in Ohio, a crack
golfer, bosom friend of the Fleisch
manns of Cincinnati, and author of
the municipal code under which the
cities and towns in his native state
are governed. He possesses a lucra
tive law practice, is an accomplished
politician and numbers his friends
by the hundreds.
The drawing rooms of Washington,
New York and Newport know Miss
Roosevelt well, and among her
friends, as among all those of the
man she is to marry, there is rejoic
ing that she has at last yielded to the
quiet but unceasingly persistent suit
that Mr. Longworth has paid to her
from almost the first day they met.

Millionaire With Public Spirit.
John S. Neave, a Cincinnati multi
millionaire, has filed application for
appointment as superintendent of the
street cleaning department. He is an
enthusiastic member of the Good
Roads association and a leader in the
Cincinnati Autompbile club, which
probably explains his ambition. His
candidacy has created a furore in so
ciety. “I have my business affairs so
arranged," said he, “that I can give
plenty of time to the job and believe
I can help make Cincinnati streets
among the most beautiful in the coun
try. My first action, if I get the office,
will be to make a trip east and in
spect other departments. I would like
very much to get the appointment, for
I believe I can fill it well.”
Queer Fad of Eastern Musician.
Mme Marta Sandal Bramsen Is
head of the vocal department In a
fashionable musical school In Pitts
burg. Mme Bramsen does not believe
in wearing stockings and has not worn
them since, when a girl of 14, her
singing attracted the attention of
King Oscar of Sweden, who had her
educated in the Conservatory of Music
at Christiania. Mme Bramsen came
to Pittsburg with her husband six
weeks ago. Since then she has been
in demand at society functions, but
no one suspected her antipathy to
hosiery until she attended a reception
at the musical institute, when a care
less movement of her gown disclosed
a bare foot in a sandal of ancient pat
tern.
Speaker Cannon and His Callers.
Congressmen who call on Speaker
Cannon to ask favors have learned to
know in advance whether their re
quests are to be granted or refused.
Mr. Cannon listens to his visitor’s
plea and in some cases Jots down a
penciled memorandum which he
thrusts into his trousers pocket. In
other cases he makes no such move,
though all visitors are received with
the same smiling suavity. It is com
ing to be noticed, however, that when
he fails to make a memorandum the
caller has pleaded in vain.
i ne seir-Kenant Man.
The man who wins his way has the
ultimate advantage over the other
whose path is cleared for him and
whose rapid progress along it is «an
excursion personally conducted by a
captain of industry. At least he un
derstands the value of that which he
has attained, and while more deserv
ing of laudation than the easy winner
is too busy to dwell upon this cir
cumstance, to waste time in pleased
contemplation of himself. And such
greatness as he has is not a misfit.—

Her Mean Joke.
' Where have you been now?” asked
Mrs. Jawback, icily. It was a cold
day, anyhow.
“I’ve been watching the cavalry ev
olutions," explained Mr. Jawback, try
ing to tfarm things up a little. “I do
love to see the horses caracolo about
the field.”
“Well, I love to see yon stay at
home and carry coal about the house,”
said Mrs. J., with grim humor. “Qo
out and attend to the furnace at once.”

GOWNS or
THE, MOME,NT
Color* to Suit Complexions.
The brunette, genuine, dark eyed
dark haired, and of good color. Is not
a difficult type to deal with, given a
good complexion and almost every col
or is hers, brown hair harmonizing
with almost every shade. Black Is sel
dom becoming to this type, but she
can wear cream, ivory, yellow. Indian
red, claret, cardinal, deep and pale
blue, golden brown, fawn, putty color,
tans, coral pink, rose pink, old rose,
terra cotta, and silver gray. Pale
green, white, pale blue, and yellow
may be safely chosen for evening
wear.
The fair brunette, she of dark hair
and eyes of blue, blue gray, or violet,
must use discretion in choosing her
colors. No strong, vivid tints for her
—nothing, in fact, that will destroy
the delicate tints of her skin. This
does not mean that neutral tones
should he selected, but that delicate
shades of the chosen colors should be
adopted. For instance, delicate yellow
will suit her better than bright orange,
and ivory better than deep cream.
Gray, from dove color to pepper and
salt, will become her, and so will gol
den brown, golden tans, navy blue,
pale coral, and pale salmon pink,
maize, lemon, and silver blue.
Now It’s the Empire.
The empire style is a good deal to the
fore in lingeries Just now. It is espe
cially noticeable in night gowns, many
of which have the characteristic Em
pire feature, which may be called with
equal variety the long yoke or the
short waist. It is much used in the
finest grade of night robes, and in fact,
in the daintiest of all lingerie. Fre
quently the short waist or yoke is en
tirely of lace or embroidery. Low
necks and short or elbow sleeves char
acterize all fine underwear at present

Real Mulligatawney Soup.
Pound fine in a mortar and mis and
sift well a quarter of an ounce China
turmeric, one-third ounce of cassia,
three drachms of black pepper, two
drachus cayenne and an ounce of co
riander seeds. This makes sufficient
curry powder for the following amount !
of soup.
Two large chickens or three pounds
of lean veal. Cut the meat from the
bones in small pieces, and put it in a 1
pan with two quarts of water. Boil
slowly for half an hour, skimming it '
well. Mince four good sized onions
and fry them in two ounces of butter.
Add these to the curry powder and
moisten the whole mixture with a lit
tle broth from the pan, stirring in a
small quantity of rice flour. When
thoroughly mixed, pour Into the soup
and let it simmer gently until it is as
smooth and thick as cream and the
chicken or veal is quite tender. At
this point stir into the soup the juice
of a lemon and serve at once.
Accoring to Parisian Ideas.
The wrappers and dressing sacques
that have come from Paris this fall
Ere particularly beautiful. And, by
the way, because they come from
Paris it does not follow that one must
purchase them. They are not exactly
suited to all pocf.etbooks. But they
can be, and are, copied.
The proper materials for this pur
pose are albatross and china silk—
almost without exception in delicate
colors. One new wrapper is of light
blue albatross, accordion plaited from
yoke to hem, trimmed with one inch
white lace and belted in at the waist.
If. has a square shoulder collar. A
simple and very sweet little affair is
of plain light blue albatross, the col
lar, open front and cuffs being
bound with white albatross two
Inches wide, feather-stitched to the
blue, and the collar and cuffs are em
broidered In delicate blue flowers.
Fashion Welcomed Back.
Dressmakers as well as their fem
inine clientele rejoice over the return
of the Henrietta cloth sheening over
a silk warp and woven in fine textures
in the most glorious colors. Albatross
and nun’s veiling and veilings of other
kinds and soft new weaves may be
had to fashion afternoon and evening j
toilets.
A virtue worth heeding in these
cloths is that they clean perfectly.
The all-wool textures may be washed
In the tub with soap bark or a good
soap and Ironed and still look well.

With the Gather'd SWr-t.
Any number of pretty waist models |
may he made up with the gathered i
skirt. The material is soft and plia- 1
ble and can be used In almost any
rray. Whatever else it Is, of course.
It will be short sleeved, for all the
pretty evening bodices or waists for
dress are made that way. One of the
prettiest of the new designs In a
stirred mode has a slightly low neck,
the collar being dispensed with, and
the neck opening cut square. The
material is gathered across front and
back, coming high up to the neck and
beginning with a heading. Over the
shoulders the material is gathered not
across but up and down, and falls
in bolero elfect front and back. The
sleeves are short. The puff at the top
is quite full. Above the elbow the ful
ness Is confined in five rows of gath
ering. The sleeve is trimmed with a
choux of fine lace which comes down
in jabot effect on the forearm.
Rub kerosene on the zinc under the

Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with
salt and vinegar.
Tea should be kept In either a tin
or glass vessel which has a lid, as
it Is necessary to keep it tightly cov
ered.
Mirrors and glasses In furniture are
best cleaned with a mixture of water,
t-.mmonla and whiting and rubbed dry
with a clean cheesecloth.
A frying pan should never be scrap
ed. Instead, fill It with cold water,
to which a little soda has been added,
and let It stand for several hours.
Black oak or Flemish oak, and all
other furniture finished with what Is
called a wax finish should not be
cleaned with the regular furniture
polish, but with a wax polish.
About Fur Coats.
Short blouse jackets of gray squir
rel are popular.
The long fur coat Is only for motor
ists or persons contemplating a trip to
Siberia.
Little jackets of brown mink are
especially good this winter.
The short close coat of black Per
sian Iamb, with the sable collar, is as
enviable a garment as ever.
Astrakhan jackets are good form.
Some squirrel jackets dyed brown
can’t be told by an amateur from sable
or mink.
Seal is as good a skin as ever and
the woman who owns a loose coat of
that fur, with reasonably wide sleeves,
can hold her head in the air, though
the aforesaid garment be a decade old.
Small Pajamas.
It is the pajama age, and not alone
for grownups, but for the small folks
as well. Mothers find them very prac
tical for little girls and boys because
they are warmer than nightgowns and
can’t be so easily kicked ofT on cool
nights. A suit of pajamas are very sim
ply made and yet quite attractive. The
upper part has seams under the arms i
and on the shoulders and then buttons :
up snugly to the throat. They may !
be made of gingham, madras or outing
flannel, and a plain cotton or wool
braid makes a pretty finish for the
edge of neck and front. For the me- •
dium size four and one-quarter yards
An Imported Skirt.
A very beautiful evening petticoat
recently exhibited in one of the shops
was of white soft-finish taffeta. It was
bordered by a twelve-inch accordion
plaited point d’esprit ruffle, appliqued
with a design of roses in black French
lace. The bottom of the ruffle had an
inch-wide edge of black French lace,
and the same headed the ruffle.
An occasional chiffon frock is still
going about under a coat.
Red-topped boots are the fashion
able footwear for autumn.
Dark, invisible plaid is a favorite
choice for a separate skirt.
Tan gloves are still the choice
hand-covering for street wear.
Gray or white furs are the best
choice for wear with a* gray suit.
The long paddock coat, such as men
wear, is being adopted by women.
Buckles of light shell and amber are
a good deal used on the French hats.
The newest scarf for head and
shoulders is of flowered radium silk.
More red hats than usual are

abroad and they look better than ever.
A real lace purse with mounting of
sliver gilt makes a nice wedding pres
ent.
Gray veils are something of a nov
elty, when worn with hats of any
color.
Beaver tricornes seem to be the
thing to wear with the dlrectolre
coats.
TafTeta frocks will be worn through
out the winter under long redlngotcs
of velvet.
Empire Teagown Negliges.
Empire effects are splendidly adapt
ed to the teagown neglige. With
cashmeres and other soft wool ma
terials, wide braids, showing silver or
gilt threads, form the entire corslet.
In other instances, white cotton gimp
produces a similar efTect and display,
a color note like that in the material
of the gown. Still a third yoke bolero
is ornamentel with an embroidered
motif in self-tone, a single orchid
bloom worked in pale blue silk dec
orating the cape collar of pale blue
crepe de chine robe and the points of
the loose oriental sleeves.
Leggings for Baby.
The cutest baby leggings are made
of corudroy—the prettiest of all of
pink, the most durable of white. They
are made to come all the way from
waist to foot, bnttoning closely from
the knees down.
Corduroy, even in delicate colors,
has plenty of wear in It, and the light
er shades can be washed as often as
they need it—white without showing
in the least that it has been washed,
and pink and blue showing it scarcely
at all.
Pretty Dress for Young Girl.
Blouse of changeable tafTeta form
ing a yoke, below which the fronts are
slightly gathered. The yoke forms a
scalloped strap In front ornamented
with gold buttons.
The sleeves, cut with epaulets, un
der which they are gathered, are fin
ished with deep scalloped cuffs orna
mented with gold buttons.
English Mince Meat.
Cook two pounds of lean meat In a
little water until tender. Cool and
chop or grind as finely as possible.
Add one pound of finely shredded suet,
four pounds of peeled, cored, and
chopped apples, six cups of sugar,
three pounds of currants, two pounds
of seeded raisins, one grated nutmeg,
one-half teaspoon of mace, the grated
rind and juice of six oranges and two
lemons, one-half cup of juice from
any kind of preserve, four table
spoons of sweet pickle vinegar, and
one tablespoon of salt.
Hints for Dressing Sacques.
Among the dressing sacques a new
idea is a loose garment of china silk,
accordion plaited and covered entirely
with the “all-over” Valenciennes lace
mesh bordered by the edging. The
yoke has three lattice-work arrange
ments with half-inch ribbon, bunches
of long and short ends of the ribbon
decorating the front. This idea is
carried out in long wrappers also—all
in pink or blue, or lavender or green,
etc.
Oatmeal Snaps.
Mix one cupful of sweet cream and
three tablespoonfuls of sugar, and add
fine oatmeal until stiff; knead slightly,
roll to the thickness of one-eighth of
an inch; cut in shapes; bake crisp in
a moderate oven.
Blue and Pink.
The French have not hesitated this
year to bring blue into contact with
pink—a combination we have not seen
before in years, and very refreshing
and beautiful and girlish it is.
