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.

DECEMBER 4, 1902 ALL OVER THE HOUSE. 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. A LITTLE NONSEWftE. Magazine Editor’s Idea Regarding lusirwr* Claims. “Here are one or two bills for reference books *nd supplies,” re marked the secretary. “Send them to the business office to be paid at once,” instructed the editor. “We must do business with business men on a business basis.” “And how about the check due Scribbler for that last story?” “Oh, he’s a writer.

Not Asking Much. lie—l should like to ask you for something—it’s really a very small thing. She Certainly; with pleasure. What is it ? He —Your hand. | Varying Views as to Honesty. “What have you ever done about that mining stock you once owned ?” “I got cheated out of it.” “IIow?” “I thought it was worthless and jumped at a chance to unload it on a greenhorn. It turned out to be immensely valuable, and the scoun drel who bought it from me knew it all the time.”—Washington Star. Mind Cure. Mr. Kreezus —What is that trop icaj landscape worth ? Art Dealer —Two hundred and, fifty dollars. - Mr. Kreezus—l’ll take it. I want to hang it in the parlor. It will be cheaper than having a fire in the grate. —Chicago Tribune. A Child and Its “Vast Yilain Paul Trond Prosper* Come Napoleon” are the names which have been given to a child born in a French village near the Belgian frontier. The names form a sentence in French of which the translation is, “Go, vile poltroon; prosper like Napoleon.” As He Thought. “You are in my pew,” said Mr. Upjohn stiffly. “Then I am sitting in the seat of the scornful!” replied the stranger, getting out of it with alacrity and taking a seat farther back in the church. —Cassell's Journal. An Extreme Measure. “What do you think of the t*y trust ?” ‘•That’s easily answered. I have just had my three small children write to Santa Claus to boycott it.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
