POSSIBILITIES OF BEAUTY WITHIN THE HOUSEWIFE'S REACH.
Bow to Change Objects of Cheap Hideoaaaeu Into Veritable Delight* of the Eye. Designs For Dressing Table, Waslutand and Burean.
Women all sigh for beauty in their •nrronndings, "but are very apt to neglect each possibilities as lie within their grasp. The Art Interchange suggests a possibility for thos* who are the possessors of a cheap cottage set Numbered with designs for the transformation of the various pieces yj the following for a duchess dressing table:

statutable height from the table. The curtains arc hung from an oalc wreath of papior roochc, painted white, suspended from the ceiling, caught back and fastened to the wall by festoons of pink roses and left to fall in graceful folds to tho floor. The rough frame for the table is very simple, with four stout squaro legs, mortised into a seveneighths top, covered and draped. Be careful not to get the table too high. Two foot ia a good height. It should be at least 2 feet broad and is prettier finished in easy curves than square cornered.
Perhaps the pioco of remodeled furniture which bears least resemblance to its former self is tho washstaud, which, decorated and enameled, its knobs replaced by pretty brass handles, is placed against tho wall in a space inolosed by graooful arabesque molding. Above tho stand is a narrow mirror framed in arabesque painted white and the interval filled up by marine paintings on tho wall the bureau, rodecorated, enameled

Tho bedstead, having been enameled in white, must be dressed to harmonizt with the remainder of the room.
The room into which our transformed furniture is to be put should be papered with alight and delicate pattern and floored with flue white matting. It requires only a wicker sofa and a chair or two, painted white and cushioned with souio plain color harmonious with the hangings, to complete it.
Summer Drewe*.
A novelty is the open eyeleted embroidery on chain bory. Other embroideries in open wheel, •tar or compass designs oovcr an entire •kirt of ehauibery. Cool ecru linens came into such favor last summur that they promise to be very generally worn again in coat and jacket suits of various kinds. Many of the imported organdie and dotted muslin dresses have plain oolored batiste or lawn for the waist lining and foundation skirt instead of the silk, on which they were formerly Mounted, Something of the transparency of the mter material is preserved by this arrangement, and it makes a much cooler dress for midsummer.
Very refined thin dresses are made of new embroidered mulls, the white ground wrought with rings of pink or bine embroidery in lengthwise stripes that curve and alternate with net stripes woven in the mull. The net stripe? have ladderlike edges that give the effect of insertion sewed in with narrow beading. White moire ribbons and net insertions trim these French gowns. China npire ribbons are very effective accessories for muslin gowns. On white dreesee they may be white, with vague pink tinted blossoms, or else the moire ground is clear green or light blue powdered with rosebuds.

THE WOODEN WEDDING.
Ions For Its Celebration—Buumlw of Rare Birch Bark. The first milestone—after five years of married life—when the young wife speaks of herself as "an old married woman, is called the "wooden wedding.
Following are some directions for the celebration of this anniversary as given in The Ladies' Home Journal:
A cozy little dinner, to which those who were the bridesmaids and groomsmen are bidden, with a few intimate friends, is usually the favorite form of entertainment. Note paper may be had resembling birch bark which is suitable for the invitations. The dining room may be made to look as "woodsy" as possible with roping of evergreen and verdure of any sort. The introduction of "Christmas trees" into the room adds much to the sylvan effect. They are to be had almost for the asking in summer.
A box made of twigs holding ferns makes an appropriate centerpiece for the table, and the cheapest wooden dishes lined with ferns will hold the bonbons and cakes quite acceptably. At each lady's place a little toy bucket or pail—the staves alternately of dark and light wood—will make a very pretty receptacle for the flowers. Wild flowers of all colors, those growing in the woods, are appropriate and plentiful in June. Tho city florists are always in communication with persons who can supply them when they are ordered. The little pails have the additional advantage that they may hold a little water, for wild flowers wither so quickly. The •wire handles should be bound with ribbon and tied with bows.
The name cards of real birch bark should have at the, top the date of tho marriage and the present date and under these the guests' names all written in dark green ink. On the reverse side of tho one given to the bride her husband might -write the summing up of all wifely duties, quoted from the famous game of "Oats, Peas and Beans''—
Now yon1re married, you must obey You mast be true to all you eay You must be loving, kind and good And help your husband chop the wood— while the groom may be reminded of his responsibilities in the same vein, changing tho first line—
Now you're married, thia happy day— and the last— And keep your wife in kindling wood.
The candle shades may be bought very oheaply of plain white crimped paper, decorated with bits of evergreen. The colors of the flowers should be repeated in the bonbons and cakes, the green background of ferns harmonizing all shades.
The bride should wear her wedding dress. The more old fashioned it be the more interesting.
Convenient Wire Hooks.
Not every woman may know that there is a sort of wardrobe hook made that she can. easily put up for _herself with no other tool than a brad awL The thing can be done, when the wood is not too hard, with only a hammer and a small nail Yon .drive the nail in a little way to make a hole then pull it out and screw in the hook. You know how anything out with a Bcrew thread fairly turns itself into the wood when well started and turned with some pressure. These hooks are made of heavy wire, one end finished with the thread to screw into tho wall, and tho other ond, after making the hook proper, turned into a second hook underneath and forming a sort of brace. They are not to be recommended for tho suspension of heavy weights perhaps, but the ease with whioh they are pnt np suggests thoir use in many an odd corner where a man would think it nonsense to want a hook. ..

Scalloped Cabbage.
Scalloped cabbage deserves a place on the family menu. Boil a head of cabbage, washed and chopped, in salt water for 20 minutes. Drain in a colander, place in baking dish and pour over it a sauco made as follows: Melt 4 tablespoonfuls of butter and stir into it 4 level tablespoonfuls of flour, blending them together, and add a quart of milk. Stir constantly until it boils then add 6 hard boiled eggs chopped fine, 3 teaspoonfuls of salt and a dash of pepper. Sprinkle with bread crumbs moistened with melted butter and bake in a quick oven 15 minutes.
Dainty Lingerie.
A pretty plastron that will make dressy the plainest of bodices is made of oream lace and chiffon and yellow satin ribbon. The contrast forned by the two tones is exceedingly effective. The Delineator, in describing this plastron, rays that the center is made of chiffon

•nd insertion and extends is a point to the waist liae, being framed by ribbon, which is formed in a bow with moderately latur ends at the bottom. Tapering fall bretelles of lace join the center and heighten the beauty of the plastron. A oollar at chiffon finishes the neck.

HE MAY BE A LORD.
W. W. Astor Said to Be In Training For the British Peerage. England continues to speak of William Waldorf Astor as an American, and America laughs at him as an imitation Englishman, but the truth is he is so much an Englishman that he is actually slated for the peerage. This may Sean incredible in America, and yet it is a fact
Yon are probably aware that Mr. Waldorf Astor has already become a British subject, and since he naturalized himself here he has enjoyed preferential election to that select circle of England's territorial magnates, that political holiest of the holies, the Carlton club. A further step in his upward flight was his nomination far the bench of the county of Middlesex, and he will be forthwith gazetted justice of the peace. That is an honor conferred by the lord high chancellor, acting for the crown, on the nomination of the lord lieutenant of the county. It entitles the holder to rank as justice of the quorum and is an inevitable preparatory step to higher rank. So far so good, but the half has not yet been told. He has been offered a baronetcy, but, not quite content with that, stipulates for the rank of a baron at least and will undoubtedly succeed.
4
V"*£t
Let me explain the difference in rank between a baronet and a baron. The former is the lowest order of hereditary rank and entitles the holder to be addressed as sir and his spouse as lady. It is in point of procedure rank 65 and permits the holder to sit in the house of commons, whereas that of baron entitles the holder to the rank, title and dignity of my lord and a seat in the house of lords. The style of address to the spouse of the holder of the title is still my lady. The rank of baron is the lowest of the five orders of peers and entitles the family of the holders to be known and addressed as honorable.
Lord Beaconsfield once said that thenwas "a certain moral force in a name and a dignity in a double barreled name." Mr. Astor is of the same .opinion. He writes and stales himself Waldorf Astor. So in books of reference look under Wand not under A. Mr. Waldorf Astor, however, is doing well and is appreciated here. He has always been in good hands, having from the first been chaperoned by that fine old English gentleman, that sturdy old courtier, Christopher Sykes.
Success in social life in England depends entirely on whose hands one gets in, and it is not always that thie most written about are the most desirable.. In the case of Mr. Waldorf Astor, his ohaperon is not much known outsid but Christopher is a man of rare jn ment and unsullied character, and, what is more, one of H. R. H. 's set, high in the favor of Queen Victoria and sooially a power behind the throne. From the standpoint of practical politics the giving of social rank to Mr. Waldorf Astor is brilliant It will tend to attract other muligmil 1 ion aires, and when we get the Ast6rs,^ajaHefKrts,HLavexuwyer8,Kockufellers, Goulds and others our London season will blossom like a rose, and when the few remaining coronets of British aristocrats now in pawn be redeemed then the plebeian government of the United States may devise some means of social demarcation to keep her millionaires at home. Meanwhile a oordial welcome awaits them here.-—Cor. Philadelphia Times.
JOSS IS TO HAVE A NEW TEMPLE.
Surrounded by True Oriental Luxuries, the Deity Will Receive Due Homage. "The Chinese citizens of Chicago will soon have the most magnificent josshouse in America," said Sam Moy to a reporter. "The entire furnishings for the place are now being designed and made in China, and we expect to open the house in about three months. Our people are habitually very quiet and not given to display or parade, but the dedication of tho new josshouse will be attended with Chinese ceremonies and a parade far more elaborate than has ever been seen in Chicago and probably in the United States. "The place will not be used as a josshouse alone, but also as the lodge or headquarters of the Chinese Freemasons of this city. There are many of these here, and the society is hundreds of years old in China. In addition to this it will serve as a place for the temporary entertainment of the people of our nation who make a few days' stop in the city. They will be housed and taken care of there.''
Hip Long, probably" the^'wemthi&t Celestial in Chicago and a relative of Sam Moy, explained that every piece of furnishings for the josshouse is being designed and made in China, and that the furniture will cost not less than $2, 000. It will be made of ebony and other rare and oostly oriental woods and will be elaborately carved and heavily decorated with gold.
The entire cost of the house will not be leai than $7,000 or $8,000, and there will be nothing like it in America It will have two large jossrooms, with the finest Chinese hangings, decorations and ftoxdahings. Then there will be a large general parlor or reception room for en tflrtaining the general guests and two private parlors for special use.
The location of the josshouse is not yet known.—Chicago Post

FOR GOOD HEALTH.
ItftwUom as to the Uses and Luxury of [the Bally Baths In Summer Weather. Every 24 hours the human body loses SB amount of heat by radiation from the rtrface during perspiration. But, contrary to what might seem probable afc first thought, this loss is oftener advantageous than otherwise.
In this way an escape pipe, so to speak, is provided for the human mechanism, and just as the escape pipe of a steam engine is self regulating, so fortunately the radiation of the heat from the surface of the body is under the control of the nervous system. ^"1
When the fact is made apparent to the nerve centers that the temperature of the body is getting too high, notice is immediately sent along the nerves to open wider the blood vessels at the surface of the body, with the result that the blood flows nearer the surface, tho sweat glands are stimulated to increased action, more water is excreted by them, and wjth the water goes off the heat
Since it is by this means largely that the superfluous heat of the body in health as well as in disease is got fid of, it is clearly very important especially at this time of the year, that the pores of the skin should never be allowed to become clogged.
With the increased amount of dust in tho atmosphere and its natural propensity for adhering to the perspiring body the daily bath becomes more of a necessity during the summer months than at any other time of the year. One should take great care, however, that the bodily temperature is reduced as nearly as possible to normal before the bath is taken. If the temperature be somewhat high and the body perspiring freely, tho danger of taking cold will be increased by reason of the sudden congestion of the blood in the dilated vessels at the surface of the body.
Much of the advantage to be derived from sea bathing will be lost unless the crusts of salt that form in the pores of the skin on the evaporation of the water aro removed by subsequent brisk toweling or fresh water sponging.
Not only is the perspiration an efficient means of removing superfluous heat, but by this same channel go out many of the waste prodpots of the body. These waste products are always relatively increased in the summer months, and so it is doubly important that during this trying season we should keop the skin in a healthy and cl&pljjr cwmdition. —Youth's Companion."
PRINTING SPEECHES.
Member* of the Present Congress Have Broken the Record In This Bespect.
There is one industry which is not in the least affected by the hard times. This is The Record division of the government printing office, whioh has charge of printing congressional speeches for distribution. There has never been a. congress when tfoe presses were worked so incessantly for tnis purpose. Already over 5,000,000 speeches have been sent- out over the country under .(»i"gres8ionariranKg,^a""thefium^FTs piling np daily tin til by the close of the session it is expected that it will far exoeed any reoord which has hitherto been mada Tom Johnson alone gave an order for 1,000,000 copies of his speech on thfe income* tax in the tar^ bill He leads the record.
But in the number of speeches ordered by other congressmen Burrows heads the list Over 200,000 copies of his tariff speech have been issued/and he has taken very few himself. Most of them have been sent- to western farming oonotitnenoics by Republican representatives. Reed's speech at the close of the tariff debate is not printed by the government printing office, but by one of the private concerns in Washington, and tbia has just about equaled that of Burrows. There is a great demand for Wilson's speech on the Democratic side, and tens of thousands of copies of the speech^ of Crisp have also been sent out In the senate 20,00*0 copies^of Senator-Lodge's speech have gone out, many senatprs franking them to the college students in their states., Sector Morrill's speech is also in 'great demand, and the first speech delivered b^ Seqator Hoar has gained a wide circulation. The efforts of Voortfees and Mills, whioh opened and olosed respectively the general debate in the senate, have been circulated almost as widely by Republicans as by Democrats.—Boston AdvertifiQjr. $|lttoney Is «sht.g™™g.
