Symbolism is being Introduced into Jewelry with happy effect by an artist who designs beautiful ornaments for women. Sometimes the setting sym- bolizes an attribute of the wearer, and again it relates to the history or le gend of the jewel itself. His master piece is a pendant just finished for the wife of a millionaire banker. She took to him a beautiful emerald and ' asked to have it set in a symbolic pendant. The artist had read that when the Spaniards conquered Peru, large collections of emeralds were found among the hoards of the Incas. These were taken back to Europe. The fact of the discovery was utilized in the artist's design. The gem was Bet hugged to the bosom of a little Aztec god. In his hands, which met above the jewel, he held a small dia mond, simulating a lamp, and he was peering wonderingly into the luminous depths of the green stone. Potato Puff. Take two cups cold mashed pota toes and stir into it one tablespoon of melted butter, beating to a white cream before adding anything else. Then put with this two eggs beaten extremely light, one cup cream, and salt to taste. Beat all well and pour into a deep dish, and bake in a quick oven until it is nice and brown. If properly mixed it will come out of the oven light, puffy and delectable. Polish for Hardwood Floors.

Do not let these in. gredients come in contact with fire while being melted, as they are all Inflammable. When melted apply with a soft cloth and polish with a brush. Using Up Sour Cream. When the cream sours, there is a way of disposing of it better than in and which is far less trouble. Put In a cream Jar, filling it only about one-third full, and shake it until it comes to butter, an operation which takes some ten minutes of steady work, and which results in delicious . fresh butter for supper. i4 Free-and-Easy Servitude. An Inspector arrived unexpectedly At a Scottish jail. He asked the soli tary warder for the governor. "He's away fushln'," was the answer. "Well, I'll see the prisoners," said the in spector. "Him! He's out, sir." "Out? Tha prisoner out? Why, has he es caped?" ' Ach, no, sir; he s just awa' wl' the governor at the fushin', car rvin' the bag!" WORN TO A SKELETON. A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation In a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a bur den. I tired easily, had no ambition and was fading fast. My complexion got yel low, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there- was sugar in the kidney secre tions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not help ing me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Poster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. When Bachelors Were Taxed. There Is nothing revolutionary IB modern nrODOsals to tax bachelors. Two centuries ago every celibate In Eneland was caving tribute to the exchequer "for neglecting his duty to support another man s daughter. All Chemically Pure. The mistaken idea of a few years ago, about Alum in Baking Powders being injurious, no longer prevails, or scarcely exists. It is a well estab lished fact by chemical analysis that Cream of Tartar being less volatile than Alum, when exposed to heat. Is not entirely vaporized as is the case with Alum, but leaves a residue in the bread,, which is injurious. Alum, on the contrary, is entirely evaporated while performing its function during process of baking, leaving no atom of injurious reslduous substance. Tho words "Chemically Pure" erroneously used to designate Cream of Tartar from Alum baking powder Is a mis nomer. Baking Powder made of pure Alum is as chemically pure as made from pure cream of tartar. These words mean nothing more nor less than pure chemicals, and in no way can they imply that one baking pow der is Alum and another Cream of Tartar. Alum has been declared to be wholesome; an established fact. Ev ery large water system in the cities' along the Missouri river use Alum in large quantities to purify the water, before pumping it into their water mains for consumption. Cream of Tar tar baking powder is perhaps good enough for any one; Alum baking powder is better, and very much cheaper. Cruising for Derelicts. The excellent work in destroying a dangerous derelict last week, begun by the Tacoma and completed by the Columbia, gives renewed point to the suggestion hitherto made in these columns that vessels of the navies of the world might with peculiar profit be employed in tracking and destroy ing the abandoned hulks which dot the seas and which present one of the one of the most serious dangers to navigation, says the New York Trib une. Of the need that derelicts shaa be destroyed as speedily as possible there, can be no question. Many known accidents and disasters have been due to them, and there is rea son for supposing that many, perhaps most, of the mysterious disappear ances of Teasels might truly be ex plained on the ground that they had come into collision with those wan dering destroyers. Carrying no lights, making no noise, giving no signal of any kind, often lying so low in the water as to be scarcely perceptible, and heavy and solid almost against which a vessel can scarcely be guard ed in the dark and - collision with which is always serious and often disastrous. Sensible German Idea. On continental railways and the Rhine steamers there is no miscel laneous scrambling for meals. Instead a steward goes through the train or boat and lists the people who want to eat. Each gets a number, and this insures a seat without crowding or delay. WHEN WASHING ORNAMENTS. Proper Care That Should Be Given to Valuable China. The washing of valuable china needs to be carried out very cautiously and carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled with warm, not boiling, scapsuds, to which a few drops of household am monia have been added, should be prepared, and each piece of china washed separately in this, using a square of old flannel for plain plates, etc., and a soft brush (a painter's brush is best) for elaborately orna mented 'articles. Rinse in another wooden bowl of clean warm water, and dry with linen cloths. Bronze or naments may be washed in the same way, but should be finally polished with a chamois leather. Some people consider a rub with a rag on which there is the least suspicion of paraffin gives bronze a nice appearance, but we do not think it necessary. Glass has a little ammonia in it, but no soap, and .then rinsed in quite cold water, says Woman's Life. But glass should be washed with a brush, or, if, elab orately cut and very dirty, it is rathei a good plan not to wash it at all, but brush a paste of whiting and water well into it, allowing it to dry on thor oughly, then removing it with a clean brush, and finally polishing with an old silk handkerchief. Thoughtless of Us. "This is a sad and bitter world," re marked a gentleman of Irish extrac tion. "We never strew flowers on a man's grave until after he Is dead." . North Dakota Solves the Adulteration Problem. North Dakota seems to have found the key to the question, "How shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" A new law has recently gone into effect designed to make it impossible to deceive peo ple into buying inferior and adulter ated paint under the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.: pure white lead and linseed oil. The North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit the inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments. They adopted the slogan, "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, if any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which are found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer genuine white lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label which says "pure white lead." 1 In all other States mixtures are of ten sold as pure white lead which contain little sometimes no real white lead. It would seem that were this same principle applied to food, beverages and all other prepared articles, where deception is practiced upon the buy er, the question would be solved. It would leave us free to buy what we pleased, but would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. Troubles of an Author. Robert Louis Stevenson's mother wrote in one of her letters from Sa moa: "The people here are now dis covering that Louis writes, as 'The Bottle-Imp' is coming out in the na tive paper, having been translated by Mr. C . It is much appreciated, but leads to some curious results. For instance, the house in it somewhat re sembles ours, and a good many of the natives suspect that Mr. Stevenson has the 'bottle himself." To keep your auto looking bright use the following mixture for all paint ed parts: Sperm oil, one-half pint; common vinegar, one-half ' pint; oil bergamot, one dram. Mix and rub with clean cloth. For all brass work use tripoli, one and one-half pounds; any lubricating oil, eight ounces; gasoline, three quarts., This is one of the best cleaners for all polished brass. . If you contemplate buying a medium priced automobile and want to be cer tain of securing a car suitable for tour ing on country roads, up hill as well as down hill, you will make no mistake in buying either a Buieck, Maxwell, Mitchell, Reo, Knox, Franklin or Queen. These range in price from $750 to $2,000. False Alarm. From the valley there came a cloud of dust and a distant rumble. The man of the stone age rushed up the mountain and perched himself on the highest peak. "Shucks!" exclaimed the fugitive, as he slipped down to the valley again, "it is only a poor dinosaur roaming about for his breakfast. From the noise I thought it must be an auto mobile." . And the "man went back to his peaceful occupation of hewing an apartment house out of a solid cliff.

The rifling gives one revolution of the bullet about its axis in ten inches. At the muzzle the velocity of the bullet is 2,300 feet a second, which means 2,760 turns a second, assuming that the bullet does not strip in the rifling. The circum ference of the bullet is .942 of an inch, which gives a peripheral velocity of 2,600 inches each second, or 13,000 feet a minute. TheWinning Stroke If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea sonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting -a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that S YRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size reputable druggists, and that full California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly every package.

A HEALTHYOLD AGE OFTEN THE BEST PART OF LIFE Help for Women Passing; Through Change of Life) Providence has allotted us each at least seventy years in which to fulfill our mission in life, and it is generally our own fault if we die prematurely. Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything1 becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blocks with out excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear to be crossed in any thing, you are in danger ; your nerves have given out ; you need building up at once ! To build up woman's nerv ous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Here is an illus tration. Mrs; Mary L. Koehne, 371 Garfield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes: " I have used Lvdia E. Pinkham's Veeeteble Compound for years in my family and it never disappoints; so when I felt that I was nearing the change of life I commenced treat ment with it. I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the headaches with which I had suffered for months before takin&r the Comrjound. I feel that if it had not been for this great medicine for women that I should not have been alive to-day. It is splendid for women.old or young, and will surely cure ail female disorders."
