A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Sam Pullins, near Townsend, Montana, about a week ago. It is their sixth ohild. Sam Pullins, who was recently operated on for appendicitis in a hospital at Townsend, Montana, is very much improved and on the road to complete recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Portius, of Raub, came over from Raub in their auto today and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Fell. Mrs. Florence Lee, of Indianapolis, is also the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Fell and will remain over Sunday. Word comes from Culvert, Mich., that George Ropp. who has had the typhoid fever for the past four weeks, is in a very critical condition and has rather a poor chance to recover. His mother, Mrs. Horatio Ropp, has been there for the past three weeks, helping care for him.

Pansy Geary, 7 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Geary, of Fair Oaks, met with a sad misfortune Friday afternoon. She was playing with other children and was running across the wooden platform about the well. A loose board tripped her and she fell, breaking her right leg at the thigh. Dr. English was called and reduced the fracture. Mrs. Julia A. Healey, who has been living in her own home on College avenue for some time, was today taken to the home of her sou, George, in the J. T. Randle property. She has been in very poor health for several months and during the past two weeks has been somewhat weaker again, although feeling better than she did during the very hot summer weather. The new high school building is almost ready for occupancy, the only uncompleted work being in the completion of the plumbing and the painting and staining. It is probable that it will be completed ready for occupancy Monday morning, Oct. 28th. The building is a fine one in arrangement, finish and architectural appearance and Rensselaer will undoubtedly be fixed for school facilities for many years to come.

Special maps for the use of postmasters in computing rates on parcels post packages will be printed by the United States geological survey, as the lowest bidder for the contract. Absolute accuracy is demanded by the postoffice department because the slightest deviation will result in considerable difference in postage rates. The survey will print 125,000 maps. The map will a table of rates and instructions for its use.

M. L.*Pass writes from Arrow Rock, Idaho, to have The Republican sent to him at that place, where he is working on a government dam, but not, he says, damning the government. He promises to write one of his interesting letters telling about the country thereabouts. Martin is about a half foot taller than most of us and consequently gets a further view and he has a faculty of presenting readably everything that he sees. We shall be glad to hear from him.

Miss Tillie Ramp went to Chicago yesterday to meet her sister, Miss Madeline, who is teaching school at Wakarusa. The latter has been having considerable trouble with her right ear- and Friday had it operated on by a specialist. A growth almost as large as her little finger was taken out. The growth was pressing on the brain and would soon have caused serious results. She came here today and will return to Chicago Monday to have it again looked after. She will go from there to Wakarusa to resume her school work if she is able and will have to make two trips each week to the city for some 'time. If the operation as performed does not furnish the hoped for relief, a more extensive operation and one that would keep her in a hospital for a month pr more will be necessary.

Of Interest to Women

SHE SEWS FOR E^CHELORS. How a Widow Built Up a Fine Business Without a Cent of Capita! How much money an uneducated woman, without a cent of capital, can make by conducting as a busiuess what many other women have long made a makeshift of'is shown by '.he success met by a certain wagon driver’s widow in New York City, who is visiting every young bachelor business man she hears of with the offer to wash, iron, mend, and sew buttons on all his clothing for the sum of $1 a week. From the day she gets a man’s business she washes his soiled clothes so immaculately, knits up the rents so neatly, sews on the buttons so firmly, and brings each week’s consignment back so promptly that her mauy customers now look back on their slovelF” ly public laundry days as a nightmare “ The woman began soon after her husband’s death with only one customer, and struggled on for a long time with only a few. Then she got the entree into one of the big Young Men’s Christian Association buildings and by doing perfect work came out vicfbrious in a competition with the basement barber, who gets a commission as agent unusually vicious laundry in the neighborhood. Now the woman’s son is busy all day making collections and deliveries, her neighbor’s eldest daughters employed as her assistant, the family income is about twice as large as when the woman’s husband was alive, and the woman Is thinking of engaging another assistant to do the actual work, while she herself devotes he. energies to getting new business in other Young Men’s Christian Associations and bachelor apartments and boarding houses.

NEEDLES USED AS PINS

Here is an excellent gift for someone who loves fine sewing. Make a square pin-cushion, and stick around the four edges a border of sewing pins made iu this way: Take different sized needles, and melting some sealing wax, dip the eye end of each needle in this, twisting quickly about to make a head of sealingwax. These make delightful pins for pinning fine sewing, or for dressmaking. Thq points of needles, are so much finer than ordinary pins that they slip in the work easily and make no holes in fine materials.

Canning Rules.

First comes the selecting of fruit. It must be just right, neither green nor overripe. The quantity of fruit to use to each can depends on size and quality. Two pounds of cnerries, two quarts of berries and eighteen to twenty-four half peaches Is about the right proportion to a qpart can. Use one to one and one-half cups of granulated sugar for one can of fruit. Place fruit in a granite or aluminum dish and put on the proper amount of sugar. Allow it to boil well and until the fruit looks done. About ten minutes is the usual rule. It is better not to attempt to cook too much fruit at once; usually a quantity for two cans is enough for one cooking. While the fruit is cooking select the cans, pour a little hot water into them and be sure they will seal. If they leak set them aside. Always use new rubbers. When the rubbers were better they would do for two years, but that day is past

When ready to fill empty out t the water, set m deep dish, place the canning funnel on top and fill quickly. Run a silver knife around inside to remove air. It is better not to stand in a draft when filling the cans. Fill brimming full, being sure that no seeds are on the r- er, dip the top, rubber, etc., hot water, and place quickly oq the can, holding the glass top firmly while the rim is screwed on. Wipe off and turn upside down at once. If they leak inside of five minutes the top should be removed and the can resealed. j When cool dip the ' tops in paraffin - wax and place the cans in a cool cellar.

The Shy Child.

The first important step toward helping a child of this kind is to give her self-confidence, even if you run the risk of making her vain and Conceited. She needs a little wholesome praise to make her feel that her playmates will like her. Make her look as attractive as possible, and tell her that she is attractive; see that she is trained in all the arts and graces that will make her attractive; send her to dancing-school. As she gets older see that she excels in games, in athletics, in anything that will give her confidence in herself when she associates with her schoolmates. If she is going away to school or college give her lessons on the banjo or guitar so that she can join the banjo and guitar clubs. If she has any talent of any kind by which she can entertain her friends help her to develop it. St;, must be taught to feel that she car help others tb have a good time anJ that consequently she 4s welcome among them and liked by them Once that feeling is established the battle Is won.—Harper's Baser.

Of Interest - to Women + ♦♦ | A Proverb Social —New Plaa For J a Porch or Parlor Entertainment — | A Form of Diversion That Will Be I a Godsend to the Hostess Whose j Stock of Novelties Has Ron Out |

Hostesses in search of a new plan for a porch or parlor entertainment and committees with£league socials or similar frolics In view should consider a Proverb Social. —L,— Beginning with the notes of invitation, the whole affair is founded on proverbs, each feature of the fun suggesting popular saws or atioms of moralists. The Invitations may be written in rhymed verse embodying familiar proverbs. Following is a hasty example of such versifying which the entertainer can improve upon and add to: Birds of a feather flock together _ And have a pleasant time. To flock with you°and have one, too, * Is why we write this rhyme. For the first game of the series have animated proverbs. When all the players are on the scene the entertainer hangs around each player’s neck a card, on which some proverb is illustrated in puzle form with advertisings pictures and small objects to be guessed. Number each card and distribute at the same time paper and pencils for writing down the answers as they are guessed. The one guessing the most wins a prize. Suggestions to show the plan of these proverb cards follow: “Vessels large may venture more, but little boats must keep near the shore.” Picture of an ocean steamer plowing the waves and another of a tiny yacht. Paste in different portions of the card. “It is an ill blows nobody good.” Picture of a windmill and another of an umbrella destroyed in a gale. “One man can take a horse to the water, but twenty cannot make him drink.” Picture of a child’s rocking horse and a toy pail wired to a card. “Straws show which way the wind blows.” Lemonade straws glued to a hard and a picture of a weathercock. “Penny wise, pound foolish.” A penny, several Y Y Y’s the word pound written foolishly—i. e., with letters tumbled, as ponud. As many of these puzzle cards as there will be players are required. They can be easily and quickly done. The best and quickest plan is to have photograph mounts, punching holes in the top of each with a leather cutter and passing through them long pieces of tape the ends of which are afterwards joined so as to leave space for passing over the head. Where the mounts are not easily obtainable get sheets of pasteboard and cut into squares about eight by ten Inches. Provide yourself with a bundle of advertising pages, cut from back numbers of the magazine, a pastepot and *cissorß. The words to be illustrated with pictures on each card can be filled In first; objects, lettering and finishing touches being added afterwards. Inspiration for the puzzles will come as one works. Have a list in an envelope where all proverbs correctly numbered are given for ready reference. ’ Give a book of Poor Richard’s maxims as prize in this round.

GERMAN WOMEN HAVE TO WORK.

So Do the Girls, Who Have No Time for Frivolous Sports. One of the things in which the German woman differs from her English sister is that every German girl, when Bhe reaches the age of seventeen or eighteen, is sent away from home to gome family a long way off, who send one of their own daughters in exchange. According to the Gentlewoman, this exchange lasts for about three years. The girl is treated as one of the family, is styled Fraulein, ‘but in every other respect is a mere servant. She has to do all the work of the house, scrubbing, washing, cooking, mending—in fact, everything that a domestic servant is required to perform. This does not leave her with much leisure for play, and the outdoor sports of an English girl are quite unknown in Germany. A German lady on being told that English girls played tennis and hockey expressed her contempt for such foolery and asked who did the housework. On being informed thaA'£e'T£ug!ish girl or matron would dream of turning to and doing the cooking, etc., she gasped out: “Oh, Lord! What a lot of lazy hussies!” Every German, woman has all the work of her home on her shoulders, and by this is not meant the lower class woman. No German lady thinks of haring more than one servant, who gets about £6 a year, and does the rough work, her mistress doing all the cooking and mending. It is a sight to see the lady in a German town going to market. She knows what to buy and what to pay, and every Wednesday and Saturday you may see her trotting off to market with- her servant behind her carrying a huge basket and examining the comestibles with a critical air. About the only ray of sunshine she has, apart from the Kaffeeklatsch, Is the visit on Sunday to some Kaffeegarten, anglice tea garden, where the and her lord and master surrounded by their olive branches, sit under the shade of a leafy treeand drink coffee and munch cakes or sour milk.

FOR RIPPING SEAMSCloth is Pulled Over Knife, that is Held in the Lap. If a stitch In time saves nine, how much time can be saved by the ripping of a whole series of stitches at once? The analogy may not be perfect, but It is suggested by the invention of a man In Maine, which is designed to rip up a seam in a piece of ■ cloth at one pull, so to speak. This inventic i consists of a supporting body with curved ends which fits

Saves a Great Deal of Time. across the lap of the operator, and curved ends holding it in position by outward pressure of the legs. In the center of this support is fastened a cutter in the shape of a curved knife, the edge pointing outward. To rip a seam the cloth is drawn over the knife, which passes through the stitches in the seam, severing each as it is reached and opening the seam in a fraction of the time consumed if the work is done by hand. This device is especially convenient in tailoring establishments or for dressmakers, as often the ripping of a seam i 3 a long and tiresome operation.

WORLD’S RICHEST WOMEN

Mrs. S. G. Asher, the daughter of the late Mr. Harry Barnato, has become the legatee of a second million of money from the same source (her father settled the first million upon her on the occasion of her marriage to Mr. Asher). The acquisition of this second fortune places Mrs. Asher in the band of women who figure as the richest of their sex. The richest woman in the world is generally admitted to be Mrs. Hetty Green, with a fortune of between seventy and eighty millions at her command. Others who follow closely are: Mrs. Russell Sage, who received a fortune of $85,000,000, but has distributed much of it in charitable bequests. Mrs. Anne Weightman Walker, who is said to possess $60,000,000. Frau-von Bohlen, the daughter of Krupp, the German gunmaker, has property valued at $80,000,000. Mme. Creel, a Mexican lady, is said to have an income of nearly $5,000,000. The Marchionness of Graham is the richest British-born lady, for on the death of her father, the twelfth Duke of Hamilton, she came into an income of $570,000 per annum. The Duchess of Roxburghe was left $25,000,000 by her father, Mr. Ogden Goelet. The Baroness von Eckhardstein came this year into the second portion of her fortune left by her father, the late Sir John Blundell Maple, making her total income $330,000 per annum. The Countess Szechenyl, as Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, inherited $12,500,000.

How to Boil Meat.

A recent French writer on the science of cookery advises that in boiling meat the piece* be first plunged into boiling’water, and that after boiling for ai few minutes enough cold water be added to lower the temperature to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point the meat should be allowed to. cook for several hours. This odd method, which the author acknowledges is diametrically opposed to common practice, will result he says* in making the boiled meat as juicy as a good roast The reason for adopting it is that the albumen of the meat will coagulate at once on contact with the boiling water, and will protect the filbrln from solution without opposing the passage of heat The meat will thus cook slowly, after the addition of the cold water, without becoming tasteless, retaining all its natural juices as*»when roasted.

To Cut Hot Brown Bread.

After many failures and many sticky knives in trying to fllce a hot loaf of brown bread, I finally tried a piece of fine wire, such as comes with shipping tags, or it may be had by the spool in fancy-work stores. This worked beautifully. The same wire maj_be used Indefinitely.

1 Helpful Beauty Hints ♦ ♦ + Care of the Ears to Enhance Their Beauty—Pomade For Callous Fin- I ger Ends—Remedy For Freckles — | j Hair Toaic und Dye—Orange Flow- j | er Sun Food for Massage.

It is a pltr more women have not vanity about their ears such as lad the Empress Josephine to make their care one of the chief parts of her toilet. Her ears were her best feature; she knew it and did everything to enhance their beauty. Most women will not even take the trouble to hide ear defects. Is the shape bad? Use ear caps of the right shape and use them constantly; spasmodic beauty doctoring is almost worse than none. Childhood even babyhood is the best time for the use of these caps, but they have done wonders of flattening when vanity awoke late.

An ear cap that can be easily fashioned at home consists of three strips of muslin. One Is bound round the head to hold the ears in place, the lecond is fastened around the forelead to secure the first strip, and the third is bound diagonally across the ears. Such a contrivance is much less heating than the nightcap affairs formerly worn as ear-flatteners. Another defect in ears is that they are lifeless dull and colorless. For this there is a sort of ear massage. If the hobes are pinched daily they should become plumper and pink instead of a sickly bluish tint. Lightly pinching the rims will overcome their dead, lifeless look, and frequent pressure of the ear against the head will give them a better set. Some women make up their ears, as well as e their faces. It must be carefully and artistically done, as there is nothing more unsightly than a rim of powder on the edge of the ear. While pink lobes are considered marks of beauty, red ears are distinctly ugly and should be hidden either by the arrangement of the hair or by making up.

Sometimes slight bleaching with peroxide has a whitening effect; more often !a little flesh-tinted powder is rubbed in while the lobes are rouged i brilliant pink. A rosy lobe is thought to make the face younger and co add color to the cheeks. If the hair is pulled out loosely uound the ears even slightly concealing the tips, It will do much to correct ugliness. This does not mean che tight slicked bands of hair that make women look not only earless, but old. -

Fingers Callous at Ends.

This is a very unusual trouble, and sne from which even the most industrious stenographer seldom suffers. It Is caused by striking the keys very liard and the best way is to cultivate t lighter touch. Pianists who practice Bight hours a day are not troubled with callous fingers, and the typewriter's touch may be just as light as a pianist’s. In fact, the lighter the better, and the higher the speed. Some at the tyewrlting machine shops lupply rubber tips that fit over the keys. They are used for fast writing, but would, of course, be less apt to produce these hard places on the finger tips. Below is a formula of a Pomade for softening the hands; White petrolatum, 3 1-2 ounces; paraffine wax, 1-4 ounce; lanoline, 1 Dunce; water, 1 1-2 ounces; oil of rose, $ drops; alcohol, 1-2 dram. Melt the paraffine wax, add the petrolatum and lanoline. Stir constantly, beating the water in during the process. Add the oil and alcohol when nearly cold. A cream of this sort will not create i growth of superfluous hair if used with discretion and washed out of the ikin every morning.

Treatment for Obstinate Freckles.

Try the elder flower ointment, which was recommended by a physician. It, of course, does not suit all complexions, but all cosmetics must be adapted to the character of the skin, like any other remedy: Elder flower ointment, 1 ounce; sulphate of zinc, 20 grains. Mix well and rub into the affected skin at night. In the morning wash the cerate off with soap and soft water and afterward apply a lotion, thus composed: Infusion of roses, half pint; citric acid, 30 grains. All local discolorations, the physician affirms, will disappear under this treatment, or if the freckles do not entirely yield, they will at least bd greatly ameliorated.

Walnut Hair Dye.

The hulls of green walnuts are pounded in a mortar, and the Juice expressed by squeezing in a tincture press; mix with rectified spirits until desired shade is obtained. Perfume with oil of cloves; the whole is allowed to stand for a week or two with occasional agitation and the dear solution is eventually decanted; sometimes salt is used to preserve it. This dye stains the scalp and must be used carefully.

Orange Flower Skin Food.

Massage the face well, and then wipe, the face with a soft towel. It is only what you absorb that does any good. The following is a good formula: Oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces; white wax, 6 drams; spermaceti, * drams; borax, 2 drams; glycerin, 11-1 ounces; orange flower water, 2 ounces; oil of neroli, IS drops ; mTef bigarde (orange skin), IS drops; tincture of bensotn, 1-2 dnun.
