Dainty Perfumes.
The perfume of cleanliness is of all
the purest Yet the pleasant fragrance
of many flowers may be made a de
licious adjunct to the toilet of the
woman beautiful, by a little trouble
and patience. A refined woman is in
stinctively fastidious about all her
personal belongings. Always about
her lingers the delicate odor of abso
lute purity of person and garment.
This perfume is not difficult to attain;
there is no hidden secret, save that of
diligent care in toilet matters. Pene
trating into her inmost sanctuaryou
vill find no soiled or dusty cloth
ing tucked away in dark closets; sun
shine, fresh air and plenty of soap
and water are her main dependence,
and to their sweet and cleansing power
she adds dainty .sachets of some sim
ple powder.
Her dresser and chiffonier drawers
are fitted with such sachets, made, if
her purse Js slim, of 5-cent cheese
cloth. A roll of the best cotton bat
ting costs but a few cents, and this
she cuts into suitable lengths, allow
ing several thicknesses. For half a
dollar she can buy a pound of Floren
tine orris root, which is the founda
tion of all sachet powders. Then she
may select any perfume, rose, violet,
heliotrope, and with it moisten the
orris root; -lot it ,dry perfectly and
sprinkle the soft layers of cotton gen
erously. The cheese-cloth, or China
silk at a dollar the yard, covers are
sewed up after the cotton is slipped in,
and there are your sachets, one to fit
the bottom; the other to cover the
contents of the drawer, or box, or
trunk tray.
The same powder may be used on
email, thick pieces of the cotton,
sewed in tiny bags made of ribbon,
preferably white, and fastened inside
the bodice of each gown. Several may
Ho in glove and handkerchief boxes;
in papeterie and lingerie of all kinds.
It will not be long before a faint, but
unmistakable perfume is exhaled from
every fold of that woman's belong
ings. But it is imperative that the
freshness of cleanliness bo there first;
otherwise well, the result is exactly
the contrary of what is desired.
Lavender flowers, dried, may bo
purchased for a trifle, and need only
ar occasional shaking and sunning to
give freely 'of their sweet, clean odor
to the bed linen, where they should bo
treely scattered. These should also
be inclosed in checso-clolh bagB,
loosely tilled, to be scattered all about
in bed and table linen. A couple of dol
lars expended in this way will bo all
that is needed for many a day and
month and year. Afier the perfume is
imparted its fragrance lingers always.

of sweet or salad oil, and let stand

Sister Maidie. Silver ware in daily
use may be kept in good condition by
carefully washing in suds made of
good white soap, rinsed, and thor-
ougniy arieu. waiting, wet witn di
luted ammonia, will usually remove
tarnish and discoloration. Put un
used silver away in bags of un
bleached canton flannel. The sulphur
used in bleaching Is said to bo in
jurious to silver ware.
A. P. G. It is not always well to
"study your weak spots." Just take
vourself in hand and resnlvo nor to
have any weak spots. Do not think of
them, and refuse tj recognize them.
Do not allow yourself to talk of them
to others. Remember that "sickness
is sin" the result of broken laws, and
resolve to be very law-abiding.

fields have lost their brightness, they

The word we use to designate our
autumn months is at least expressive,
for during the three months so desig
nated, the flowers fall in the garden,
the fruit falls in the orchard, nuts fall
In tho woods, rain from tho clouds,
the mercury in the tube of the thermo
meter, and the leaves, evcrywnere. At
this writing the leaves begin to dot
tho lawn. The "glory of autumn" lies
all about us, and lends a charm to the
landscape, which nothing else can
eclipse. At this season of the year,
the changes of terxperature are sharp

additional cover hanging over tho
fcot-board, and we wake up in the
darkness feeling a little shiver of de
light as we draw the blanket up
around our chin, after which we sleep,
as one may sleep only in the crisp,
cool, frosty nights of the scented autumn-time.

gathered by mixing these with soil
until January; then the seeds can be
removed and sowed in a shallow box
of soil, and placed in the greenhouse,
or kept at a window in iae uuuau. .w.
after sowing the seed the box may be
left outside, exposed to the weather;

The old-fashioned "captain of in
dustry" knew how to do something of
alue and charged a high price for
bis gift. He wag not above financial
thimblerigging and he made his blun
ders, but he did plan to stay by his
company and run railroads or build
ships if that was what it had set out
to do. The new-fashioned "captain or
finance" in this Illuminative Instance
"unloads" a crushing burden upon his
company and leaves it to sink or
swim. He prefer that it shall swim,
but ho arranged to leave the ship first,
not last. And while raking in tho
pennies of small "Investors" at omc
he sends agents to report upon for
eign capitalists and their mode of liv
ing, as indicating whether they are
worthy of the hc.jor of being shorn
or capable of assisting In the shearing.

They are wiser now. But as their
