The latest candidate for honors in the line of recipes gives the following: To remove freckles, cut them out with a razor and throw them away. To bring out the mustache tie it to a strong cord, twenty feet long, to the other end of which attach a smoothing-iron and throw the latter from a a fourth story window. To get rid of gray hair, hold your head for a few moments in a strong blaze of gas. To p" ^serve your eye3, put them in a bottle of alcohol. To conceal your teeth, keep your mouth shut. To keep out of debt, acquire the reputation of a rascal and no one will trust you. These are infallible receipts.

The New Court House Will lie a "Mai'iy.' If the plans for the now Court House whice were adopted last Saturday by the County Commissioners, are a sample of what the building will be when completed, we can assure our readers that the structure will be a "thing of beauty and joy forever." The size of the buildind will be 110x120 feet. The basement will be used .for several purposes also having rooms for rent. The first floor will be used for offices. Each office is large and roomy. Each officer will also have a private office, something which is greatly needed. The plan of the second floor is very convenienty arranged and gives plenty of room for all persons connected with court business. The seating capacity of the court room proper is 400. There is also a small court room which can be used for cases do not draw a large crowd.

The architects, Wing & Mahurin, have taken great pains to have everytb:Bg convenient and when the court house is complete it will be a great credit to the city and county. These architects have a wide reputation in their business, and have made plans for some of the finest buildings in the State. The plans are at the Auditor's office and can be inspected by all whs desire. We have heard very little complaint on account of the building of the new court house. And why should there be any? .Hancock county has become one of the first counties in the State and needs a court house that will be in harmony with the other new buildings that are being erected. Besides, this county is practically out of debt, and if she can ever afford a new building, now is the time to build one. Her outstanding debt is but $7,500, on bridge bond1?, and the regular taxes for this year will more than pay these bonds. We believe the commissioners have taken the right course in the matter of having a new county court house, and when erected, it will be a monument to them that will live in years to come.

Kid. AV. M. Gard, of Knifilitstown, Re

ceives »Call From Tlie Christian

Clntrcli Here.

The Christian church of this city, being without a pastor, sent an invitation to Eld. W. M. Gard, of Knightstown, to come over Sunday and preach for the congregation here. He came and seems to have given entire satisfaceion. So much so that the officers of the church have concluded to offer him the pastorate here. Elder Gard will probably accept the offer, as his time at Knightstown expires the first of|November. Elder Gard is a deep thinker and his sermons here are highly spoken of. He has been with the Knightstown church for the past three years, and has built the church up from a handfull of members to a congregation up in the hundreds. Should he conclude to take the offer of this church he will probably commence his work here about the second Sunday in November. Should he come, we extend the hand of fellowship to him and hope that his work la Greenfield will be greatly blessed.

OUR NAVY IS ACTIVE.

The North Atlantic Squadron Will Frac« tice In Southei-u Waters.

FT WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—It has developed in the navy department that iu view of trouble with Great Britain in the Venezuelan boundary question and also the Cuban situation that the secretary of the navy has ordered the North Atlantic squadron to continue its practice drill through the winter. In order to do this the squadron will be ordered to southern waters and will be near both Venezuela and Cuba, should tha ships be needed this winter.

The fact that tjie vessels are to continue their practice throughout the winter is considered very significant at this time, because winter practice has never been conducted before. All the new vessels of the new navy will be in the squadron, and it will be a most formidable display of force, should this be necessary to show England that we are determined in the Venezuela question.

White of an egg,

llow to Invite Kefreshing Sleep.

Away with heavy hangings above or below the bed. Beware of a dusty, musty carpet bolter .sweetness and a bare floor.

Do not fail to provide some means for ventilation during the night. Keep the head cool while sleeping, but not by a draft.

If a folding bed must be used, contrive some way to keep it aired and wholesome.

Let the pillow be high enough to bring the head in a natural position. Thoroughly air the sleeping room every day, the beds and bedding as often as possible.

A dark, unwholesome corner is not fitted for a sleeping room. A feather bed is hardly a desirable thing upon which to sleep.

IIow to Clean Lamp Burners.

Take an ounce of sal soda, dissolve in a quart of soft rainwater, put the burners in an old can and boil for ten minutes, after which take a cotton cloth and wipe them off, and you will find them just as good as new. This should be done every month to remove all the carbon. If you want to keep wicks from smoking, soak them in strong vinegar and dry thoroughly.

How to Guard Children's Teeth.

Frequently a child's looks are destroyed by a narrow and protruding upper jaw, which a little care will transform into a symmetrical feature. Do not permit a sound tooth, no matter how it overlaps, to be extracted. If the teeth are straightened while they are coming in, the jaw will yield and make place for them. After they are firmly set, even though one resorts to extracting one or two where they crowd, to mako room for the others, the result is a space, and the remaining teeth will only stay straight "while the torturing plate has them as if in a vise.

How to Make Bread Omelet.

Housekeepers who have too much principle to throw away stale broad, and who cannot bring their families to relish loaves pudding, will find they can put their bread to practical use by making "bread omelet." Cut the bread in very thin slices—and there is nothing that one can slice so thin as stale bread —and dip the slices in beaten egg. Try in bntter.

How to Launder Brown Holland.

Dry soap the back of the collar, pockets, cuffs and fronts of the jacket and vest, pocket of skirt and hem. Wash in fairly warm water. If a machine is used lay the dirtiest parts on a table and brush them with a soft nailbrush, using soap and warm water before they are put into the machine. Wring very dry from the suds, rinse twice in cold water. The last water should have a suspicion of tan tint in it, just to beep the linen up to its original color. Mangle th6 dress first and then press with a heavy, coolish iron on the right side.

How to Itemove Dust Spots Ttfroin Cloth.

If the cloth is rough and you have worn it on dusty days and then on a showery one, uso warm water and castile or brown soap. No ammonia is needed, as the heated water usually does the work satisfactorily. Use an old nailbrush with soft bristles to do the work, and dry the cloth by pressing with a hot iron on the inside.
