Chicago has a genius somewhat
after the Mary McLane order.
She is Yiona Larsen, aged 10.
She admitted a day or two ago to
a magistrate that she is a. genius
and that she is writing a book.
She came before the magistrate
on a charge of horse stealing. She
explained that one character in
her book is a desperate criminal.
In order to correctly portray the
feelings of a desperate criminal
she deemed it expedient to enact
the role herself, hence she “took”
the horse so that the officers of
the law would chase her and she
would know how a nail criminal
felt when being hunted.

lie up on the wagon and
“peeled” and threw the despised
old suit in the water. Then he
reached for his new clothes. They
were gone —had jolted out of the

his teeth chattered as lie hurried
home. He surprised Eliza even
more than lie anticipated.

New York, Nov. 29.—Justice

$1,000,000 against the property in
this city of the International

The attachment was in favor of
John F. Plummer, in a suit he has
brought against the lnternatior.nl
Power company, and Joseph H.
Headley, to recover $1,000,000 for
breach of contract. Plummer as
sort'd that through his efforts the
American Locomotive Works com
pany was formed. He said he had
engineered the financing of the
company and believed himself en
titled to for his services. l
A statement, over the signature
of J. H. Hoadley, was given out
today at the office of the Interna
tional Power company in which all
the allegations of Mr. Plummer’s j
complaint were denied.

It Is Wall to Have a Special Cabinet
For Yeur Choice Books.
The handsome editions de luxe
w4tieh aceamulate in any, family
fond of books are too fine to be
stored away with ordinary books.
In a case their beauty is unnoticed,
and on tables they are out of place
and soon become soiled. #
A small cabinet of the finest wal
nut oak, cherry, maple, mahogany,
rosewood or ebony may be pur
chased for the accommodation of
these treasures. It is always hand
somely carved or inlaid. The shelves
are divided into irregular compart
ments, and each one of these is lined
with so ft leather, a protection for
the edges of the bindings. Curtains
run along a brass rod or a couple of
glass doors protect the contents
from dust and moisture.
The amateur cabinet maker in
these dfys when the collecting of
books is so general a fad can provide
for a friend no more acceptable gift
than such a cabinet, carved by hand
or decorated with burned work.
Chamois Skin Doilies.
A person with an ordinary knowl
edge of painting can make a hand
some spt of the chamois skin doilies
now in vogue for the polished bare
top of Uae luncheon table. The
comifi yellow' skin is frequently
used, but gray skins or those of a
rich red hue can be purchased at
house furnishing or art supply
shops. A skin three-quarters of a
yard square costs about sl. A few
oil paints and a medium sized sable
br'sli complete the necessary sup
si. Colors should be carefully
i). ended, as no shading is permissi
ble. Mix the paint with turpentine
to the coHsistencv of cream and ap
ply in broad, flat washes. Experi
ment on a little piece before begin
ning, as some skins absorb more
than others. A rose design, with
blossoms in soft pink and leaves
and stems in pale green, is effective
on a gray skin. Chrysanthemums
in dull pinks or reds are good on a
red skin, and nasturtiums go well
on a terracotta background.
With Cold Dough.
I once heard a woman who had
cooked in the lumber camps say that
the theory that bread must be kept
warm from the time :t was started
until it was baked was an absutd
one and that she had made bread
from sponge which had been frozen.
This idea was new to me, .and I de
termined to make a practical appli
cation of it.
Our family of four are very fond
of hot rolls, but it is not always con
venient to make bread as often as
we like them. So when I am-ready
to mold the bread into loaves 1 cut
off a piece, knead it thoroughly and
place it in a covered pail in the ice
box of the refrigerator. It will keep
sweet for two or three days even in
very warm weather, and, although it
takes the dough a little longer to
rise, it seems to improve the texture
and make the rolls more tender.—
Pearl Campbell iu American Agri
culturist.
Facts About Soap.
There is much castile soap which
is not at all good for hair or skin.
Good castile soap can be told by its
clean, agreeable smell, not of rancid
refuse oils or of cottouseed oil un
purified, which is unpleasant in any
slate till it is carefully treated and
which develops a bad smell on tho
hands after drying. A sharp pot
ash odor —i. 0., like potash—is not a
good sign. The alkali7s ToclsTrofiU
and will irritate the skin. Good old
soap dries quickly after wetting;
poor soan in a slimy way. Babies
and cliiiaren suffer untold miseries
from poor soap, which, especially
when not well rinsed off, causes irri
tation about the tliront and armpits
and legs, making the children fret
ful and tiresome. They suffer dis
con forts their elders would find in
tolerable. ‘
Handsome Fruit Dishes.
For the serving of fruit there are
new flat fruit dishes of triangular
shape and adorned with an art nou
veau border. Another fruit hoPHer
of art nouveau design is of glass,
mounted in silver. There are curved
legs and slender handles, and the
upper part of glass fits into the sil
ver base loosely, so that it may be
removed for washing. The hand
somest and newest cut glass hern’
bowls are supported by a tray of
glass. Round silver berry dishes
are pretty with openwork borders.
To Wash Matting.
Matting should be washed with
salt and told water and carefully
dried. Rub the very dirty spots
first with water and commeal. If
white matting has turned to a bad
color, try washing it with a weak
solution of soda, which will turn it
to a pale butter yellow. To a gallon
of water use a pint of salt. Apply
with a flannel cloth.
