A man never appreciates a woman’s s.rue value until he has married her. He usually overestimates it before. Eve’s most vulnerable point was her susceptibility to flattery.

Frost, of Northampton, Mass., is chaperoning a party of three young ladies who will see how econo mically they enn make a tour of Europe on their bikes. Two of the young ladies made a ten weeks’ bicycle tour for $l9O about two summers ago. The baggage of each member of the party consists of two suits of light, woolen underwear, two pairs of woolen stock ings, a black equipoise, a divided skirt of dark mohair, meeting long bicycle the-knee,-and a few toilet arti cles. The expenses have been calcu lated thus: Bound trip ticket $78.50; expenses per diem, $1.50 for sixty days. Allowing for incidentals the trip can be made for $175 apiece. Queen Olga of Greece. Queen Olga of Greece is at present tlie most interesting woman in Europe, as well as one of the most popular. Particularly is she popular among the women of Athens, among whom she has an extensive acquaintance, for she goes about freely, often unattended. Simplicity is the keynote of her life, and it is followed even in her dress, except on state occasions. In appear ance she is an ideal Queen —tall,blonde, stately—and her manner is marked by graceful dignity. Her favorite gem is the pearl. She is a good scholar and an excellent linguist. She takes a great deal of interest in the arts, in publio education and in charity. Her passion is yachting, and she was until recently an honorary admiral in the Russian fleet, being a Russian Princess, the daughter of the Grand-duke Con stantine and niece of the late Czar. However, she has returned her insignia to St. Petersburg, saying that she could not hold rank in a fleet that had fired upon the Greeks, and by this act has made herself more than ever the idol of the Greek people. Slid Huns an Elevator. One of the sights of San Francisco is the running of the elevator in the Custom House. A stranger, upon en tering it, is likely to fear that he is confined there with a crazy person, who is about to send the car out of the roof. For the elevator boy is a woman; and when, calmly and quietly, the woman seizes the rope and begins to tug, what other idea can a man have except that his companion is a maniac, toying with a dangerous plaything? For whoever, outside of the Golden Gate, ever heard of a woman elevator boy? Come to think of it, there’s no reason why such a person should not exist, but then folks from out that town never hupponed to hear of the New Woman being in the business. For fourteen years the Custom House elevator has been tended by women, and not an accident has hap pened to the car or its occujiants in all that time. Two or three of the atten dants have been widows of soldiers or else wives of veterans too feeble to work themselves. The present in cumbent, Mrs. Carolin Morse, is the widow of a blue-jacket, and was ap pointed under President Harrison’s administration. She was put out at the opening of Cleveland’s first term, but San Francisco raised such a howl that her old place was soon returned to her. And there she sits eight hours a day, confined in a coop, and working honestly for her money, with which she supports and educates her family. —New York Press. Why Women Have the Blues. “Why do so many women have mel ancholia?” repeated the doctor, who has a large practice among the “de pressed” and “nervous” feminine pop ulation. “Because they don’t care to avoid it. Because they absolutely dis regard the rules of mental and physi cal well-being, Because they would rather eat what they like and suffer indigestion and the blues afterwards than to eat what is good for them, hut doesn’t tickle their palates. Because they’d rather sit about on soft cush ions than take a tramp six miles through the open air. Because they haven’t enough to occupy their minds and their hands.” Then the doctor paused to take breath and began again somewhat less aggressively. “It is never the women who have cause to feel blue,” he said, “who in dulge iu blues. The women who have shiftless husbands, hard-hearted land lords, sick babies and all the usual accompaniments of never grew so depressed that they have to be treated for it. They are too busy. It’s the woman with an adoring fam ily, social position and a comfortable income, who doesn’t find life worth living. It isn’t the servant girl who gets up at six to kindle the fire and who slaves all day who indulges in melancholia, but the daughter of the family who arises at eight, dawdles over her breakfast, reads a little, prac tices a little, shops a little, craves ex citement with all her heart, and is melancholic because she doesn’t have it. “There is no habit which grows upon one so rapidly,” went on the doctor. “It becomes a disease iu a very short time. My own plan, when ever I feel an attack coming on, is to put on my walking boots and tramp vigorously as far as I can, It is simp ly impossible to exercise and feel blue at the same time. Of course, a gen eral care of the health is necessary and work is the chief factor iu effect ing a euro. Every woman who has a tendency to melancholia should have an occupation which, if it doesn’t en tirely absorb her, will at least keep busy. And she should give her mind up to practical rather than theoretical affairs. She should study how to put up an extra shelf iu a cupboard, or how to stop a squeaking door, or how to make an overshoe that won’t come off at the heel, rather than the teach ings of the theosophical school or the philosophy of Herbert Spencer. Ordi narily good health, plenty of exercise, plenty of work, and an interest in the affairs of this world are the great pre ventives and cures of melancholia.” — London Doctor. Women as Veterinarians. This year a young woman will be graduated from the Veterinary School in Alfort, France. Germany and Rus sia boast of women veterinarians, but in the United States there is not one who is entitled to write herself D. V. S. Women have applied to the vari- ous veterinary schools in the United liiostjif them stating that they wish to make a special study of the diseases of cats and dogs. Some have taken preparatory courses at the school connected with Cornell University, hut none have matriculated anywhere with the intention of entering the pro fession with the exception of Miss Jenne Revert, who attended the New York Veterinary College during two sessions. Miss Revert is the owner of Robin dale Farm, Glen Head, Long Island, where she raises blooded horses and fine bulldogs. She was seen at No. 124 East Twenty-seventh street, her city home. Miss Revert does not ap prove of the new woman, though she is fearless and passionately fond of animals. She hopes to finish her course and take her degree. She speaks appreciatively of the kindness, consideration and good-fellowship with which she was treated by professors and fellow-students. Miss Revert treats the horses and dogs on her own farm, and the horses are always shod under her personal supervision. The Dean of the American Veterin ary College, Dr. Liautard, before his departure for Europe, said that but one woman had ever applied for ad mission to that institution. That was some years ago. Now, he said, a wo man would be welcome in any of the schools. He added there was a great opening for women in the profession, particularly in the treatment of pet dogs and cats. The wealthy women who owned dogs would certainly take them to a woman veterinarian if there was one. Pet cats are always having fits or indigestion, or some ailment, and need medical attention. The half hour with the veterinarian would be come quite a feature of the society wo man’s existence. Mr. Hankinson, the superintendent of the 8. P. C. A., declared that a wo man would be likely to have an exten sive practice among the smaller pets of society. He said there was one wo man, whoa he personally knew, who doctored sick cats and dogs, not for pay, but purely for the love of them. He also stated that, if any one should come to him and ask him to recom mend some place where a cat or dog could be boarded and the owner be assured of its safety and comfort, he would not be able to do so. He thought some woman, who was a lover of animals and in search of a congenial occupation, ought to try this. She could take a dozen dogs or cats to board without having to make any special arrangement for them. A wo man who is a veterinary surgeon, and could treat these expensive pets or doctor horses, would make more than the average doctor, for the fees of veterinarians are double those of the ordinary M. D. Dr. Levy, of the Lexington Veter inary Hospital, says that a woman as sistant would be so valuable to him iu his practice that he would willingly pay her a good salary in return for her services during her college course. Some of the wives of prominent veterinarians, who are not college graduates, have a wide practical ex perience,and are well read on the sub ject of veterinary medicine, among them Mrs. Gill, the wife of the Dean of the New York Veterinary College. There are even now any number of women who can pick up a pony’s foot and dig a stone out of it; Miss Kitty Wilkins, of Bruneau Valley, Idaho, who raises horses; Mrs. Samuel Caton, who managed her husband’3 stock farm while he was in Europe, and Mrs. Power O’Donoghue, the famous Irish horsewoman, who broke ber own colts and trained them and managed her own stud. There must be others who are able to enter the veterinary pro fession, a field of work for women as yet unexplored. —New York Tribune. Seen on Dry Goods Counters. Bed organdie gowns.

ALASKA A LAND OF GOLD MAltfY declare its mines the RICHEST EVER KNOWN. Reports That Recall Fabulous Eldorado— Recent Ilincoverles Seem to Indicate That In Aluaka in the Mother Vein of the Gold of North America. Those familiar with the history of gold mining declare that the gold fields of Alaska are among the richest both in quality and in extent that have over been known. The stories that the Spanish explorers heard about Eldo rado were no more wonderful than those which are now coming down from Alaska with every steamer, except that the Spaniards heard of gold already mined and refined, whereas the Alaska gold is not yet dug. The Spaniards never got their gold; the Alaskans are get ting it by the ton. Here, for instance, is a quotation from the issue of June 30 of the Alaska Mining Record of Juneau. It relates to the arrival of one Jack Hayes, the mail carrier the Yukon district. Hayes left Ju neau on January 14 and completed his tour of duty on June 20. After an in terview with him about his experi ences, the Record says: “Much excitement prevails all through the Yukon district over the Klondike discoveries, and all kinds of stories of the riches there are told, many of which Mr. Hayes says are true. It is true that two tenderfeet, railroad men from Los Angeles, Cab— Frank Summers and Charles Clemens —have struck it rich. They went in a year ago ami located on the Klondike last fall., Clemens sold his interestfor $35,000 cash, and his partner, Sum mers, held on two weeks later and got $50,000. The money to pay the men was taken out of the dump which had been lifted from the shaft on the claim during the winter. These two men had each panned out $2500 on their claim while prospecting it. The man that bought Clemen’s interest bound the bargain with a $232 nugget which had been taken from the Klondike. Summers is a single man. Clemens has a wife and two children in Los Angeles. It is said that both will come out on the next boat via St. Michael, bringing with them their little for tunes. Neither man had ever had any experience iu mining. “Alec McDonald took one pan from his claim which tipped the scales to the tune of SBOO, and offered a wager of SIOOO that he could pick his dirt ana in twenty minutes get a pan that would go over 100 ounces ($1000). No one cared to cover the wager. “Dick Lowe is panning for a living, and is taking out the modest sum of SIOO a day. “Iu a personal letter dated at Circle City, March 21, Oscar Ashby says in part: “,’Our town'is very quiet at present, every one having gone to the big ex citement at Klondike. Everybody has gone crazy over it. This country has an unparalleled future. There are thousands of acres that men will not, in fact, cannot, look at until provisions are cheaper. I understand that wages here will be sl2 a day. There is not enough help,to supply Bettej- ° n the creeks. Dogs are worth all kinds of money, from $75 to S3OO each.’ ” There are one or two men in New York who know Alaska mining and Alaska mines well. A Sun reporter asked one of them to talk about the gold diggings of Alaska. He did so, after stipulating that his name should not be printed. He opened a drawer of his desk and out of a number of specimens of ore secured a chunk as big as a man’s thumb. It was as heavy as a bullet. “This,” he said, as he laid it away in the drawer again, “was picked up on the surface soil six years ago. An other piece as big as my fist that was picked up at the same place we have been offered $250 for. Now, when there is gold like that lying about open to the air, there is just one in ference to be drawn. It comes from some place. The man w'ho finds the place is rich. The man who tells the world in general what he is looking for and why under such circumstances is a fool. By the same token he usually dies poor and complains of ‘hard times’, sighs for the return of the ‘good old days of ’49.’ Why, man, ’49 was nothing to this! Johannesburg is no such centre of goldfields as is Juneau. “But there is this difference between California in ’49 and Alaska in ’97. Alaska is all staked out. The news has not gone abroad until the people near at hand, the people who have spent money, time, and their very lives in developing the country, the people, in short, who deserved the re ward had seized on everything in sight. Down along the coast in the quartz lodes the stamp mills have been established one by one, twenty stamps here, forty there. They have not any of them begun to he worked as hard as the available area of ore will per mit. With mills running altogether 549 stamps, more than half the stamps working only half a year, the product of the quartz mines of Alaska in 1897 yielded $2,355,000. I say to you earnestly, honestly, that is only a pin scratch. Work in Alaska cannot be said to have begun. There was never anywhere anything like it. To sum the whole thing up, I believe that right in the Alaska gold deposits is the mother vein of the gold of North America. v “A few weeks ago two young men came to me with letters. They were wild with enthusiasm and confidence. They were going to Alaska they said. I told them to stay at home, Then one of them said that he had had lots of experience in rough knocks. ‘You’ll get a lot more out there,’ I said. ‘There is more experience out there than there is gold, and that is saying heaps.’ ‘But I control $10,000.’ he said. ‘By glory,’ said I, ‘you’ll need it.’ And they will. It is no poor man’s country. A man might as well start out from Juneau, after all his kit and outfit are bought, without a cent as without SSOO or S6OO. But it is a country every American who can af ford to travel ought to see. It is a beautiful country to visit, and there is no pleasanter trip anywhere.” —New York Sun. Some London Statistics.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS, Keeping the Oven Glenn. When things boil over in the oven or you spill juices or baked meats, lot them char, then you can remove them, easily. You should brush out tho oven as religiously as you do the kit chen, and it should be aired thorough - ly after cooking spiced things,or onion dressing, or anything of that kind in it. If yon neglect to keep the oven scrupulously clean you will find that everything that comes out of it will have the same flavor, exactly as a big hotel’s viands seem to have. How Rust to Use a Ham. Wash and scrape a twelve-pound ham (the economy is in tho size as well as quality). Soak two hours in cold water, wash again and soak iu fresh water over night. The next morning wash again and cover with cold water in a boiler. Add a wineglass and a half of Worcestershire sauce and heat gradually Allow twenty minutes to a pound, For uses cold, leave in boiler to cool. These suggestions arc from Colin D. Anderson, compiler of “Tho Epicure.” When ready to use, slice off two inches from the large end and lay aside until the other end is reached. The slices should be very thin to serve cold. For broiling, cut one-sixth inch, trim off the rind and have broiler ready, but do not cook the meat until the family is at the table. Broil not over three minutes, dish on warm plate, butter each sand serve. Recipe For Soft SftßV* Five pounds of grease will make nine gallons of excellent soft soap. Melt a pound can of pure potash with a quart of water in a large clothes boiler. Boil the potash for fifteen minutes, then add the five pounds of grease and stir it well. Let the mix ture boil slowly for an hour, stirring it frequently. At the end of this time stir two gallons of hot water into it. Pour the whole into a ten-gallon keg and stir well. In fifteen minutes add two gallons more of hot water. Stir often, and after an hour add four gal lons of water. This water need not be hot—blood-warm water will do. Stir the soap often in the next two or three hours, and then let it stand over night. In twelve hours it will be of a fine, clear, jellvlike consistency, thoroughly cold and ready for use. It is better than any manufactured soap for clean ing rough kitchen floors, for washing dishes and kitchen-wares, for cleaning bathtnbs and for use iu the kitchen boiler. It is quite possible to make hard soap with comparatively little trouble, but the amount of soap grease which can be saved by the average family is only sufficient to prepare the amount of soft soap which can be used. It is an economy which is worthy of the at tention of a good housekeeper.—New York Tribune. Serving Dinner Without a Maid. This is, of conrse, a difficult task, but it can be done if thought is given to the first arrangements. Have but few people—it is better to have two small dinners than one large one. Prepare the soup, which should be clear, the day before. Clarify, season and strain it; cover and keep in a cold place. A simple menu would be the follow ing: Soup; panned chicken with cream sauce, potato croquettes "and peas; a tomato mayonnaise, wafers and cheese; lemon jelly with soft custard and sponge cake; a small cup of strong coffee to close. Your dinner hour is probably six o’clock. After you have finished your usual morning work, and parlor and dining-room are in order, go to the kitchen and begin the preparations for the dinner. First, make the may onnaise, using only the yoke of one egg and a half cupful of oil with a tea spoonful of lemon juice or vinegar. Put this, when finished, into a tumbler, cover and stand in a cold place. Then wash the lettuce, shake it and put it aside. Scald and peel the tomatoes and stand them in the refrigerator. Then make the jelly and custard and put them on the ice. Next make the potato croquettes. While the potatoes are boiling, singe, draw and cut up your chickens. Arrange them at once in the baking pan, putting the butter and pepper on, and stand them aside. Make the croquettes; fry, and put them at once into a baking pan lined with pepper. They are now r all ready to run in a hot oven to heat a moment before serving them. Shell the peas and make the butter balls. All of this preparatory work will take very little more than an hour. Recipes. Baked Mutton—Salt ami pepper well on both sides; mak@ long deep gashes over it, and fill these with a stuffing made of bread crumbs, pep per, sa.t, onions and sage. Then sprinkle the meat lightly with flour, and put it iu a baking-pan. When it begins to cook, pour in a little hot water and haste occasionally. Asparagus ala Tessiuoise—Boil for only twelve minutes two bunches of fine fresh asparagus, place them on a dish in layers, with grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese between. Lightly brown a third of a medium-sized chopped onion in one onnee of butter, and pour over the whole. Sprinkle the top with a little cheese and bread crumbs, and cook in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes. Send to the table on the same dish. Mashed Chicory—Trim off the greenest leaves and hard parts of chicory stalks; parboil five minutes in salted water, drain, cool in cold water, press the water out, put the chicory on the table, and chop very fine; put it iu a saucepan on the fire with two ounces of butter; stir five miuutes, sprinkle an ounce of flour over; mix well; season with salt, pepper, nut meg and a little sugar; dilute with white broth; boil slowly for half an hour. Finish with two ounces of l ut ter and mix well. Strawberry Trifle—Mash one pint of hulled strawberries and half a cup of sugar together and set aside for an hour. Pass through a sieve or colan der. Dissolve one ounce of granulated gelatine (which is easier and nicer to use than other) in half a cup of water and four tablespoons of sugar. Add a cup of boiling water. When lukewarm 9 dd berry juice and juice of a lemon. When it begins to set beat in a cup of whipped cream; then put on ice to harden. Serve with a soft custard or sweetened cream. ...."

KING, President, Charlotte. N. C. SOMETHING NEM. Gaum Liver [Mo. KEEPING abreast with the lnvt tion. oi this age, we, by modern ma chinery, compress our powdered Dr. M. A. Sim mons’ Liver Medicine into tablets and sugar coat them. Consumers can either swallow the tablets whole or chew them up and swal low with water. The candy sugar coating ex cludes the air, protects the purified medicine from microbic influences, pre vents the possibility of deterioration from atmos pheric changes, insuring perfect purity and full strength when taken, and makes it pleasant to take as candy. Tablets contain only the powdered Liver Medicine, same as sold in packages by Dr. M. A. Simmons and we his successors, since 1840. Price 25 Cents per Package. C. F.
