Jonquils Nearly as Costly as the Real Flowers Mint Most Expensive of the Candied Fruits There have never been more elabo rate decorations for the table than there are this winter and they are for the sake of novelty made of candy They are nearly as costly as the real flowers Rosebuds somewhat smaller than the original are made in pink and white and glisten like their natural prototypes with dewdrops They cost 15 cents each while violets as large as tho best of the natural ones and seemingly lacking only the fragrance of the real flowers cost five cents more Jonquils are made somewhat smaller than the real size and so are the exquisite purple flags which have the same variety of shades as the orig inals The candies are an expensive item nt a dinner when the guests tako it into their heads to eat them It rarely happens however that more than one or two persons make this un usual use of them None of the table flowers is so elab orate as the large pansies They are also preserved in the natural colors Over them is sifted a tiny shower of sugar which barely conceals the pur ple and yellow tints These blossoms cost as much as 30 cents If every guest should decide to eat one it can be seen how much of an expense such a dish would be Among the candied fruits which are to be found in all shops none costs so much as the candied mint But it is in the end less expensive than some of the others because so little of it Is required A pound of candied mint costs more than four dollars But a taste is all that anybody requires so strong is the flavor The old fashioned sugared violets have been almost en tirely superseded at dinner by the new candied reproductions of the flow ers These colored flowers in candy are arranged just as the natural flow ers There are not violets and rose buds jonquils and fieur de lis all in one bonbonniere The same color scheme is maintained throughout all the dishes Just as the real jon quils are grouped together in the flower vases so are the yellow sugar blossoms placed together with no other flower to break the color scheme Fortunate nowadays is the hostess who possesses low flat candy dishes The tops are covered with fine white perforated papers and on them the flowers are laid They must not be crowded together s in that way much of their effectiveness is lost They are placed so as barely to touch They do not retain nearly so much of their beauty when put into a deep dish GOOD AS DRAUGHT PROTECTION Newest Use to Be Made of Flowered Cretonne The newest use for the popular flow ered cretonne is in a draught pro tector It is about half a yard deep and is used to prevent too great a draught when the lower sash of a win dow is opened To make one tako a strip of the cretonne and a strip of sateen the width of the window and sew them together all round having first put up an interlining of stout brown paper Then edge the whole thing with a pretty cord making a loop of the cord at the two top cor ners by which the protector Is hung on to two brass hooks in the window frame These draught protectors make cap ital gifts for men living in rooms or at college and will be received with much approval For this purpose it is better to use a smooth surface ma terial that will not catch the dust as housekeepers and laundresses usually are not willing to do too much shaking and brushing HOLDS THE KNITTING NEEDLE Easily Made Case That Will Be Found Very Serviceable We give a sketch of a very useful little case for holding knitting needles which will be found of great service when traveling or when carrying ones 1 ft i Bill II III if i J J 1 i i I I i work from place to place In fact It will be handy on any and every occa sion when the needles themselves are not actually in use It can be made in any strong piece of silk satin or brocade or in kid or leather if pre ferred The lining should ba of wash leather in any case while the straps which serre to hold the pins In place should be of elastic firmly stitched at intervals It is intended- that the flaps should fold over on to the needles and the case than rolled up and tied with tho ribbons as shown in our firastratlon - ritit6 THE LAPORTE MURDER FARM Grewsome Finds Beneath the Burned Homo of Mrs Belle Gunness Criminal records contain no parallel of the grewsone story revealed in the finding of the clearing houso for mur ders kept by Mrs Belle Gunness at Lnporte Ind Just how many persons met their fate in connection with the bloody business carried on by this woman and her confederates will per haps never be known The skeletons discovered beneatli the cellar of her house and the fact that expressmen had many times delivered to her boxes and trunks now believed to have con tained human bodies form the chief MBS GUNNESS AND THE ItUINS OF THE HOUSE WHEHE HER CRIMES WERE COM MITTED THE ARROW INDICATES SITE materials for the construction of the strange story of her career She is supposed to have lured rich men to her den by matrimcftiial advertisements and then made away with them for their money andalso to have run a murder fence for the benefit of her partners in the awful trade offhuman slaughter the latter operating in Chi cago and sending the bodies of their victims to her for burial The burning of the house at La porte in which Mrs Gunuess lived with her three little children a short time ago led to the remarkable revela tions as to her history The story of the Lnporte murder farm recalls the notorious doings of the Bender family in Montgomery county Kan about forty years ago and the famous case of Henry II Holmes who swindled insurance com panies and was held responsible for the murder of quite a long list of per sons He was hanged in Philadelphia The Benders husband and Avife and son and daughter were supposed to have murdered nine or ten persons and buried the bodies in the vicinity of their home robbery being their mo tive The Benders mysteriously disap peared and their fate is unknown al though rumors were abroad at the time that indignant citizens put an end to their infamous careers MISS JEAN REID Ambassadors Daughter Who Is to Marry In England Miss Jean Templeton

John Hubert Ward brother or the Earl of Dudley has been announced by Mr and Mrs Reid it is suspected that several young men prominent in exclusive circles in England are suf fering from disappointment It was supposed not long ago that the young Viscount Acheson son and heir of the Earl of Gosford would win her hand The viscount was quite devoted and Miss Reid was believed to have a fond ness for his society Before his time she was very popular with Lord Brooke son of the Socialist Countess of Warwick Her accepted suitor is a favorite with King Edward to whom he is equerry in waiting He was born in 1S70 and educated at Eton and in 1900 compaigned in South Africa with the imperial yeomanry He has since Eerved in the war office Miss Reid is about twenty four years old slight of build and fair of complex ion and has a sweet face She Is popu lar among the younger set in English society Mr Ward inherited about 1500000 from his fathers estate but there is little likelihood of his ever being an earl He is quite handsome inheriting hJs good looks from his mother who was one of the Moncrieffe sisters noted beauties of the time Whitelaw Reid is said to have pre ferred that his daughter should marry an American As It is she Is not likely to bring a title into the family OUR COUNTRY 77 YEARS AGO Two Generations Have Seen America Rise from Primitive Rurality In 1831 the American people were free but they hold in their hands the hind tools of slaves They had to la bor and sweat in tho fields with the crude implements that had been pro duced by ages of slavery For two generations the sickles flails and wooden plows with which they had tried to build up a prosperous repub lic had held back agricultural progress Let us try to reconstruct mentally the America of those days Enterprise was not then a national characteristic The few men who dared to suggest improvements were persecuted as enemies of society The first iron plows were said to poison the soil The first railroad was torn up The first sewing machine was smashed And the first man who sold coal In Philadelphia was chased from the state as a swindler Even the railway was a dangerous toy The telegraph was still a dream in the brain of Morse John Deere had not invented his steel plow nor Howe his sewing machine nor Hoe his printing press There were no stoves nor matches nor oil lamps Petroleum was peddled as a medicine at one dollar a bottle Iron was 75 a ton Money was about as reliable as mining stocks to day and all the savings in all the banks would not now buy the chickens in Iowa The total exports amounted to no more than we paid last year for dia monds and champagne Chicago was a 12 family village There was no west nor middle west Not one grain of wheat had been grown in Minne sota the Dakotas Nebraska Colo rado Kansas Washington Nevada Idaho Montana New Mexico Oregon Utah Arizona Wyoming Oklahoma or Texas Everybodys One on the Purser Prosperity smiled on a certain man of Marthas Vineyard Like all men he is in pursuit of happiness So he hied him away to a neighboring city and purchased a fine automobile Of course it had to be shipped to the island on the steamer A few days after the arrival of the machine a friend of the proud owner went to Boston on business When this friend arrived in New Bedford to take the steamer for the Vineyard somebody told the purser that the gentleman in question had brought down an automobile from Boston and asked him the purser if they had room on the steamer for the machine Ah said the genial purser he ha- got an auto eh Well well When of those two fellows gets anything th other fellow thinks he must have or too Were pretty well filled up with freight said he but I suppose well have to take it aboard With that he gave orders to clear away the forward deck and make room for an automobile A few moments after the above con versation Mr appeared down the gang plank with a toy automobile un der his arm which he had purchasej for his little boy who lives in Vine yard Haven Vineyard Gazette The Moon and Mount Kood Perching itself for a few moments on the very top of Mount Hood the big new moon illuminated that ma jestic peak so clearly that its mantle of glistening white toned to a soft yel low hue could be distinguished plain ly from Portland and vicinity Never before say old time Oregonians has the moon been observed to scale the summit so fairly and with such perfect balance The big yellow disk appar ently could not have been more ac curately adjusted to the top of the mountain And as it passed on up ward the top of the mellow circle buried itself in a big black cloud so that no great stretch of the imagina tion was required to fill in the pic ture of an eruption from the peaceful old mountain From an artistic standpoint the spectacle was one to be hoarded in the fond memory and those who saw it may regard themselves as having been peculiarly fortunate Every year the moon pays a visit to the big peak but possibly not once in centuries would it climb to the precise central point on the summit and present a picture so perfect Portland Oregonian - Frances Flag The tricolor as the national flag of France is called consists of red white and blue in equal vertical stripes the blue stripe coming next to the staff Blue and red were the colors of the city of Paris and white was the color of the Bourbons In 17S9 the national assembly of France decided on the suggestion of Lafayette that the na tional colors should consist of those of the city with the old color of France white added Here is a cock ade that will make a tour of the world said Lafayette in offering the new colors From 1S14 to 1S30 the tri color was displaced by the white flag of the Bourbons Duchess a True Philanthropist Duchess Philip of Wurtenberg has contrived a bandage that is so scien tifically constructed that manufact urers have taken out patents covering the right to make it in foreign coun tries The duchess is said to be the most popular of all the royal ladies of Germany and much of her popularity is due to the Interest she has always shown in the sick poor Adam Her Trouble -What are you about Eve Im afraid these new fi arent going
