The Best Material For a Boor. ["here is no better mateiial for a roof in pine, cypress, or cedar shingles, t&l roofs are not nearly so durable as ?e of shingles, and these, if painted, il be doubly durable. The only metal it 38 really desirable for a roof is cop , which is practically imperishable, t the cost at present is too great as npared with shingles. In laying a ngle roof it is best to put the rooting per under the boards, as there is then danger of the gathering of moisture i consequent decay of the shingles, e wind is kept out quite as well in a wav. The shincles are better pre ved by dipping in crude petroleum fore being laid, by -which they are de water-proof, and the durability is ich increased. The frame of a woodhouse may be filled in with concrete eoft biick, but this filling is no better far as concerns the warmth of the ilding than a lining of tarred building jer under the outer covering of the lis and the inner lining.?New York dependent k successful swine breeder in Kansas [>ut once a week puts a quart of coal and two pounds of sulphur into each rrel of swill. rhe long drought of last fall and the rmy weather have made terrible inkds upon the sheep which hare been pt on the ranges in Texas. ^ w fa/ | Willie TUlbrook IMavor Tillbrook of XcKeeiport, P?-, Curoi of crofula in the Neck By Hood'* Sargapartlla 411 parent* whoa* children suffer from rofule, Salt Rheuta, or other dieeasee nsed by impure blood, should read the folrinz from Mre.

It is called the "tirette" and consists of a small cord, which runs through a couple of eyelet holes and fastens under a gilt clasp, and when drawn up it gives the hand that neat look anything snug about the wrist is sure to impart. Some of the new glove9 have embroidered wrists in the old time elaborate fashion of embroideriog on leather.

The usual means of extorting subscriptions having been exhausted, forty women agreed to earn money by individual efforts, and they rightly argued that the more they attracted attention the better.

Clark ha9 been Treasurer of a savings bank in Exeter, N. H., since 1883, and only the other day was selected for the tenth year of her service in that office. She began working in the bank as a clerk, and her advancement was due wholly to her industry and competency to discharge the labors assigned her. Miss Clark is under bonds to the amount of $45,000 for the faithful performance of her duties, the same security being exacted of her that a man would be required to furnish. UBder her management the business of the bank has largely increased, and her cood judgment in the placing ot loans has caused her to be made a member of the investment com* pany. The assets of the bank are now over $500,000, while the deposits are increasing $50,000 annually. New Hampshire has three women treasurers of savings banks. Miss J. Grace Alexander has been Treasurer of the Security Savings Bank, of Winchester, since its organization in 1881. The assets of the bank are $280,000. Miss Cora A.

Attempts have been made to popular lze in America tne "rainy-aay costume worn by some of the most exclusive leaders of fashion both in Paris and London. Unlike many of the costumes of the "reform" type, this suit is as pretty as it is useful, and is made variously of Harris tweed, homespun, Scotch cheviot, and plain unpatterned. English serge. The skirt is gored slightly on the front and sides, and is full in the back. It is unlined. and faced with waterproof to the depth of eight inches underside. The skirt is very short, that is, it clears the ground by five inches all around. Attached to this skirt is a fitted blouse either of dark colored silk?red, brown * ' ? 1-1 5 iL!-! DiacK, or oiue?anu over mis ib me trimmest and tautest of tailor jackets, of goods matching the skirt. One of these suits brought from London by a returned tourist consists of a skirt and jacket of dark russet-colored serge, with vest of paler tan surah. The jacket is doublebreasted, and this and the skirt are machine-stitched <it all the edges. En suite is a cap of tan cloth, also a pair of neat, very long russet kid leggins, with gloves cf the same shade, a pretty addition to the whole being a small umbrella of red russet changeable silk.?New York Post. PANNIERS MAY RETURN. I wouldn't wonder at all if we arrived at panniers before the season is over. Many skirts now have a suggestion of drapery about them and to others a graceful touch is imparted by puffs of lace about the waist. Sometimes the lace takes the shape of what used to be called a postillion, and is added only at the back and sides of the waist. An awfully pretty way of making an old waist new is to sew the lace underneath quite straight and plain and turn it up on the outside, or else apply it in a girdle shape in a high point at the back. A few yards oi nice luce laid in at the beginning of the season is a positive economy, because it nan he nut on one <mwn fnr nn nrra eion and taken right off and be ready for the next one, and it always gives a touch of refinement to the most commonplace toilet. Why, even a bit of lace fulled around the cuffs and falling over the hand gives a touch of old world grace to everybody and is the most becoming thing in the world to anybody's hand. It brings out all the beauties of a pretty pair and throws the dearest little veil in the world over ordinary ones. The new point de jene, or coral lace as it ie usually c*ll?d, it u perfect blessing. Three quarters of a yard of lace about a quartet of a yard deep, either plainly gathered or run on a bit of crepe of some pretty coL-r, fastened at one's throat and falling down over one's gown in front simply gives a new air to the whole costume and it's a dainty air too, and looks just as il you felt that way all the time and loved to be so, and hadn't just put it on because some one was coming.?American Dairyman. LITTLE-KNOWN WIDOW8. Some of the richest widows in the country the world kDows the least of, writes John A. Cockerill. And among these are some who do the world a great deal of good, too. Every city has its wealthy widows and if you look over the 'glittering galaxy they will in moot cases be found to be women of rare good sense, managing their affairs with judgment and bearing themselves in a very proper world. Tha fact that 8 woman is a rich man's widow is always something to her credit. Men who do not have good wives to help them in the world's strife rarely have the chance to leave rich widows. How often do the people of New York hear of Mrs. Schenley, of Pittsburg? Yet she is worth $20,000,000, according to the ea'cirnates of those who know where her property is and the value of it. Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, of Philadelphia, is a modest woman, notwithstanding her $5,000,000 or more. Out neighboring city of Hartford has two or three rich women, and one of them, Mrs. Leonard Church, worth $1,000,000, is not above taking her outing in a turnout worth at the outside figure about $65. I used to hear occasionally, through some clever business turn she had made, of Sarah Cates, of Kansas City. She is a widow and away from her home i9 - * * '?- nnn nnn aii reputea to oe worui fiv,vW,v>;? ... realized from a real estate investment of less than $300C. I have not heard lately of Mrs. Cates, but unless she pinned her faith and her bank notes with too much tenacity upon Kansas City's future, I presume she is still accumulating money. The world hears nothing of Mra. Rachel Gaff, of Cincinnati, nor Mrs. Olilver Perrin, of the same place, and yet each of those ladies is worth from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. Mrs. Joseph Harrison, whose husband built the first railroad in Russia, is worth $4,000,000, but her name is rarely seen in newspapers. In striking contrast with these women just named, in the matter of avoiding the public gaze, is America's own Mrs. Jos^phina M. Ayer, the patent-medicine widow, who continues to dazzle Paris with her diamonds, swell equipages and princely entertainments. Mrs. Ayer is our best example of a lady who is away from home, very rich, and doesn't care who knows it. A reception wmcu hits, ajui gave last winter?it was but one of several?is said to have been a marvel of expenditure, even for Paris.

The bowknots of dead black enamel rimmed with gold with a diamond, in the connecting loop, are favorite designs in mourning pins. Watteau folds at the back of gown* are very much the mode. Frequently a bow with very long ends is used instead of the fold both on high necked and decollete gowns. A favorite fashion of the hour for din ner gown is a Watteau plait of lace These plaits are attached to gowns of ani handsome material, and are a rich and graceful addition. At the present moment dre3S skirts cling tighter than ever. In extreme cases the entire dress looks like a cuirass, the skirt and bodice made iu one and both equally tight. Sash ribbons are shown in all the colors of summer silks and cottons. Somt very serviceable and pretty ones are oi double-face satin. These come in al' ! delirate tints as well as in black anc white. The advent of the poke bonnet has been discussed very thoroughly, and it now seems likely that for the ensuing summer small boo net; and large round hate will maintain the i hold upon fashI ionable favor. | AmoDg the new silks and satins are ; those figured in polka dots of various ! sizes. These made with full skirts and | baby waists with a full frill of chiffan I about the low cut neck are exceedingly ! pretty for young girls. The best modistes use silk lining both for the bodies and skirts of gowns. Linings of silk fit so much bettsr and aro so much lighter than the ordiuary lining that they are invariably preferred by tnose wno nave oace naa mem. Among the recently imported gowns are those with glove-fitting, seamless round waists, with sheath skirts. They are designed expressly for slender women. Length is given to the waist when needed by adding a sharply pointed trirdle of silk or velvet. The new polka-dotted silks and satins make charming gowns for young girls, when these are made with rather full skirts and baby waist, with deep frill of chiffon or point de Gene around the openneck,and a black velvet girdle with velvet ribbon eade at one side.

Old newspapers are said to make valuable anti-moth wrappers for furs and winter clothing, the ink upon them being nearly as repulsive to all kinds of vermin as camphor or coal tar-paper. They are likewise good toiay on carpets for a like purpose. Being impermeable to air, they also form excellent envelopes for vessels containing ice and fresh liquors. A ropemaking- firm in England is manufacturing a new type of rope called the anti-corrcsive and self-lubricating wire rope. The core and all the wires in the strands are Baid to be coated with a comDosition called elis9&ntoline, which fills up the interstices of the rope and makes it impervious to corrosion. The lubricant also makes the rope more flex* ible. A new way of annealing small pieces of steel is given by a writer in the English Mechanic. Heat the pieces as slowly as possible, ana wheo at a low red heat put them between two pieces of dry boards and screw them up tight in a vise. The steel burns its way into the boards, and on coming together around it they form a practically air-tight charcoal bed. When cools off the steel is apt to be found thoroughly annealed. Captain I. K. Morse, of Rockport, Me., has invented a course indicator which is expected to prove of great value to navigators. He believes that his device will show the actual course steered for any length of time, as it lecords every movement of the compass and registers the difference between the direction of the veil's head and the points of the compass intended to be followed. Any deviation from the course ordered, either frcm carelessness or otherwise, will be shown. A German physician, Dr. King, claims that he has discovered hew to make an eatable and, nutritious cake with wood.

But now and then, when the crust of the planet is more deeply penetrated than usual, as when an artesian well is bored, a fragment of the record is disclosed, and all the old and cherished chronologies are Irreparably damaged.

The aged Dr. Collier relates the foV lowing: In 1842 an old and worthy friend, of whose strict veracity I haven't the least possible doubt, came from Burnbam, England, with a relative to transact some business in London. During the time of my absence from home with this relative, my friend, through sheer curiosity, took up a small oval-mounted crystal which stood near him on a table, and began to examine it. After looking at it intently for a few minutes and trying to guess, as he afterwards told me, what on earth such a novelty could be used for, he noticed that tbe surface of the instrument became clouded. This He at urn aitnoutea toms naving diowd his bteath upon it. He tried to remove the dew-like cloud with his handkerchief, but hie efforts seemed to increase the cloudiness. Presently the cloud took upon itself the form of the legs of an ostrich, the toes and knee-joints being clearly outline . For a second they seemed to open and ^lose at the joints like a pair of caliper*. While gazing in awe-stricken wonder and amazement at this uncanny exhibition of the supernatural, my friend noticed that the figure was slowly but surely changing its form. me ostricn legs naa oecome inose 01 a ghastly human skeleton, and almost instantly the final change came, which converted the cloudiness of the upper part of the glass into ribs, vertebrae, long, bony arms, ihe whole surmounted by a hideous, grinning skull. At this juncture, according to my friend's story, he began to feel a great oppression in the region of the chest and a numbness and giddiness in the head. He lost no time in replacing the crystal upon the table, and says that it was some hours betas he was able to throw off the unpleasant sensation which his curious experience produced. It was not until nearlv two Tears after this that he ventured to tell me of the circumstance; even then I could not induce him to inspect the crystal again. In conclusion I may remark that the dear friend, who was absent with me at the time, died at about the time Mr. B? 9aw the skeleton dancing in the crystal.?St. Louis Republic.

Good judges say that one of the next )<v calities to achieve distinction by jumping from a substantial town to a thriving metropolis in a few years will be the city of Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, without the effort and struggle through whicb inferior towns have passed while effecting the same result. Until a yeai or two ago the average man did not stop tc think that Superior as a monopolist of the water and rail termini at one end of the lakes is in the same position as Buffalo at the other end. Figures are uninteresting uoless given briefly, but comparisons are always important. This little Superior, credited by its last census with only 22,000 people, handled more i 1 nroir L'UtU lUSb J COi liuau UIU vuivxt^v, VL giuiu it shipped nineteen million bushels, of flout sixteen hundred thousand barrel*, of wool four million pounds, and of merchandise to the value of thirteen million dollars Of all lake cities this business was second only to Chicago in magnitude. There is an economical reason for this condition of things. It is that the rail rate on freight sent west of Lake Michigan is one cent per ton per mile, while the water rate is one-tenth of one cent per ton per mile. This position at the extreme western end of Lake Superior is what gives the city of Superior its prestige, and is making it grow faster than Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and one smaller industrial concerns, Superior has located twenty-eight large manufacturing enterprises in the past eighteen months, including the American Steel Barge Comriomr tho bnildera of the famous FH*V1 "whaleback" vessel, which is revolutionizing the lake and ocean freight carrying trade. The twenty-eight institutions above mentioned include iron and steel plants, flour mills, stove foundries, wagon factories, pump makers, ship builders and saw and shingle mills. The most conservative business men in the Northwest believe that Superior will grow faster in the next ten years tban any other city in that prosperous section of the country, and many of them claim that Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee have never seen the rapid growth that will come to the bead of the great chain ' of lakes and the city of Superior.

What other advantage lifts Alabastine that kalsomines do not possess? A. Alabastine is entirely-different from all kalsomines. It is manufactured from a base in itself a cement, and when applied to a wall sets hard. S. How do kalsomines differ from this? . Kalsomines are made from whiting, clays, chalks or some inert powder for a base and are entirely dependent on animal glue to hold them on the walL Q. What are the results? A. In one case the Alabastine being a cement hardens with age, and the kalsomines as soon as' the glue, which constitutes its binding quality, decays, rubs and scales off, as it has nothing to hold it on the walL Q. Does Alabastine require washing and scraping off before recoating? A. No, Alabastine when once applied to a clean surface can be recoated for any length of time without having to wash or scrape the walls. Q. Does this feature count for much? A. Ask any practical housekeeper, who has been driven from home to have walls washed and scraped, whether it will be desirable to have all of this overcome, and walls improved instead of "poilr.d by coating them. Q. How can I get Alabastine ? A. From your local paint dealer.
