BREVITIES

THE HALL OF FAME. Geronlmo, the old Apache chief, stoutly insists that he never was captured by General Miles. James W. Eldridge of Hartford, Conn., owns the saddle that Jeff Davis used during most of the war. The oldest speculator in Wall street is Edward B. Wesley, now ninetythree, He watches the ticker closely every day. Joseph Jefferson says he was hissed on the stage once. He was four years old and tried to sing “The Star Spangled Banner.” Dr. Eugene May of Washington has lectured 1,000 tinjes In the past seven years and has been at seventy-five Chautauquas in five years. President Loubet of France loves nothing better than to escape from court duty and go on a bunting expedition. He is well read, fond of music and an admirer of painting. Dr. John Dill Robertson, the Chicago physician who recently gained much notoriety by advocating leas bathing, has been elected president of the Illinois State Eclectic Medical society. Albert Bressee of Hubbardston, Vt, who died recently, was the originator and promoter of the famous Early Rose potato, which has had a continuous popularity for over thirty years. Colonel J. E. Thayer of Lancaster, Mass., Is building a museum in his town to contain his magnificent collection of birds of North America, a collection which even the government at Washington cannot surpass. Samuel Higgins, the new general manager of the New Haven road, has just been presented with a handsome silver service from the members of the labor organizations of the Southern railroad. James J. Hill, the pioneer railroad king, has an aversion for telephones and never uses one when he can help it He maintains offices in several cities, but none of them is equipped with that modern convenience so essential to the average business man. Mrs. McClellan, wife of the New York maj'or, is one of the most unassuming women in the Empire City. She has never cared a rap about society. Anything in the way of a large function appalls her. As the daughter of Johu G. Heckscher she was born to assured position.

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Tortoise Is the newest shade of brown. Chantilly net is coming Into favor for veils. . Among straw hats the chip directoire leads. Rouleaux of satin form one of the fashionable methods of trimming. Taffeta gowns, both plain and checked, are to reign supreme this summer. Petticoats of china silk are found both in black and white and pongees in natural color and gun metal. A novelty in high priced parasol handles is a straight design of chipped pearl colored to match the tinting of the sunshade. The rage for gold, which has been so marked a feature in Parisian trimmings all the season, has now given place to one for silver. Sleeves are immense, and most of them are made in open balloons. Others are balloon shaped, closed at the hand, and fitted with a stiff lace cuff which may be slashed or may be closed. Inside the stiff lace cuff there is a soft lingerie cuff.—Brooklyn Eagle.

PITH AND POINT.

Many people who are old enough to know better don’t. Many a man who gets the reputation of being a good husband is simply henpecked. When a bride’s mother goes to visit her his folks say that be must have married the whole family. Not one nfan in ten walks with a woman on the street# aa if he were not trying to get away from her. It takes age to develop gratitnde. Young people complain when they can’t dance, but old folk are grateful if they can keep walking. Here is a kin problem: A man is sick and homeless and poor. Which should inherit the care of him, his married son of his married daughter?— Atchison Globe.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Gooseberry Coeserve. , Shave off the yellow rind from three •ranges, taking care to get none of the bitter white. Squeeze out the Juice. “Top and tail” five pounds of gooseberries, seed two pounds of raisins and chop the gooseberries, orange peel and raisins very fine. Add four pounds of eugaf and the orange juice and simmer gently for an hour or until thick. Torn into small jars or tumblers, and While still warm cover with melted paraffin. This seals it thoroughly and prevents all mold. Then cover with a paper or the ordinary glass or tin cover and set away in a cool place. When needed for the table, slip off the paraffin and put away to be melted and used again when necessary.

CleHalag Agent*. There is a simple scientific formula that will cover all the subject of kitchen cleaning—namely, use soaps which contain fats and alkalis with all textile'fibers and soft porous wood, such as pine tables, floors, etc., and some form of potash or acid with all polished surfaces. Never use soap in a coffeepot or frying pan. Acids are best for glass, but the danger of strong acids renders them undesirable. If, however, a good housekeeper will keep some form of lump acid in a jar and prepare a weak solution, tbe cleaning of glass will be greatly facilitated, and, well rinsed, the glass will take a bright polish.—House Beautiful. Culinary Hint*. Too many eggs will make waffles tough instead of tender. Pies will be soggy if set on top a hot stove after being baked. To cover the pan in which fish is cooking will make the flesh soft. Salt in the oven under baking tins will prevent pastry scorching on the bottom. A spoon should not be left in a saucepan if you wish the contents to cool quickly, since the spoon carries off heat slowly. Baked potatoes are much lighter If broken with a fork rather than a knife and picked with a fork before baking.

Wn*h Pillow Cover. Every housewife knows the value of a pillow cover that can be sent to the laundry when soiled. This one pos-

A DAINTY COVER.

sesses that merit, combined with daintiness, and is made of white linen embroidered in lace effect, with an edge of German Valenciennes lace. The design in the center is first crocheted, then filled with various lace stitches executed with linen thread, and the hack is a square of plain linen stitched to the outer one at three sides, buttoned into place at the fourth, so rendering it quite easy to slip the pillow in and out.

Cleaning Kerosene Lamp*. Remove the burners, take out the wicks, raise the caps of the burners and put them into a strong soapsuds, adding to each quart of boiling water one heaping tablespoonful of soda. The burners must be well covered by the water and boil for two hours. Be sure the air flue is clear and clean, then take out and polish with a clean dry cloth. In the meantime wash the wicks in strong soapsuds, riuse and dry. Wash out the lamps, and they will seem as good as new. Groaning the Griddle. Housekeepers may be glad to know that instead of lard or bacon rind a turnip cut in half and the griddle thoroughly rubbed with the raw side will answer the purpose of greasing. Fry the cakes a nice rich brown, and there .will be no sticking and no odor or taste of the turnip. There is no smoke and mesa as when lard is used, nor is the nice flavor of the buckwheat destroyed as by the use of grease.—Woman’s Home Companion.

Wadiliis Ribbons. A milliner says the reason washed ribbons are so unsatisfactory is that only half the process is followed. She washes it like a pocket handkerchief, ironing on the right side while still wet, then when dry rubs the ribbon between the bands as if washing it until all the stiffness is gone, when she irons it carefully to remove the wrinkles.—Pilgrim. The Moraine Cereal. Cook the cereal or breakfast f&od the day before In summer time, mold it in small individual molds and serve cold , for breakfast with whipped cream. The addition of a little fruit just about five minutes before taking from the fire gives a dainty flavor relished by many. Chopped dates, orange or a few strawberries will serve the purpose.

Do sot allow skirts to drag on the floor of the closet.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

° General Michltanra Nodsn. One of the most distinguished and brilliant soldiers in the service of the mikado is Count Michitsura Nodzu, who commands one of the armies of Invasion in Manchuria. He was born in the province of Satsuma in 1841 and got his first fighting experience in the Satsuma rebellion. At the outbreak bf the China war Nodzu, who had meanwhile advanced to the rank of lieutenant general, was commanding the Fifth division at Hiroshima. His division was the first to

land in Korea and to push on to the Manchurian frontier. When Commander in Chief Marquis Yamagata was recalled after the battle of the Yalu, Nodzu succeeded him and led the army successfully through several engagements to Newchwang. He was promoted to the rank of .general while on the field. After the war the emperor created him a count He hns lately occupied the positions of commander of the eastern division and of Inspector general of military education. General Nodzu visited the United States in 1876.

Idean Barred. The late Duke of Cambridge looked upon all innovations in army discipline with great suspicion, and it was only with the utmost difficulty that he could be induced to make changes. A story illustrating this is now afloat in London, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. An appointment in the horse guards was vacant, and a certain captain was suggested as suitable. The duke said: “I know his name quite well, but isn’t there something against him? Didn't he write a book on the army?” He was assured to the contrary. "I feel sure I heard he had written a book or something.” insisted the old man. "Is he one of those fellows who have ideas?” “Oh. no, your grace; absolutely none," answered the military secretary, “Very well,” said the duke, “he may be given the post.”

AUTUMN WAISTCOATS.

Types That Will Be In Vogue For Men. In nothing does the average man show taste or tlie want of it so clearly as in the choice of his fancy waistcoat. says a writer in the Haberdasher. Here no hard and fast rules hedge him. and consequently the temptation to embrace the odd and outer is strong. The very fancy waistcoat is out of it. It has had its run, and now the inevitable decline has set in. The waistcoats for autumn are more conservative and in decidedly better taste. The plainer the cut and the simpler the treatment of collar, lapel and pockets the better tlie garment squares with fashion and fitness. Collar and collarless waistcoats both have their devotees, though the tendency seems to be to dispense with the collar whenever possible. Several new waistcoats intended for wear with the evening jacket have been introduced. One is made of a suede gray mercerized fabric and is cut single breasted. .It is patterned after the single breasted evening waistcoat and fastens with three mother of pearl buttons, there being a mock button at the bottom. Another new waistcoat for evening Jacket functions has a long roll collar, a peaked lapel and closes with four crystal buttons. This is a French idea. The mode allows a good deal of latitude in waistcoats for day wear, but evening waistcoats must be severely simple. Absolntely nothing else will answer.

ALWAYS GET THE BEST.

In subscribing for a county paper you want the paper that gives you the most news, do you not? That is what you take it for. The Democrat claims to give more news from all over the county, as well as all important news of Rensselaer and about the court house, than all other papers in the county combined. Last week its correspondence page contained correspondence from seventeen different towns and neighborhoods of Jasper county. In making up your mind what county paper you will take do not overlook The Democrat, but call in or send for a free sample copy and compare it’s news features with the other papers of the county. We have no fears of the result of the comparison.
