DAWNING OF NEW YEAR This week is the dawning of the New Year of 1906. Thus we are entering upon what ought to be the most important and interesting year of our life, because this year we should strive to accomplish more than previous years. With the past years of experience to guide our course, we should be the better enable to see further into the future. A retrospect of the past year shows great strides along all lines. The most important events; the famous treaty at Portsmouth which ended bloodshed and war, and now peace prevails throughout the civilized world, and we believe that hereafter great international differences will ultimately be settled by arbitration rather than by the sword. Another fact too occurred last year that we should be proud of; there has been fewer number of lynchings or murdering in the United States then for many years. Then the granting of universal freedom to the tolling millions of Russia and the overthrow of the last absolute unlimited monarchy in Europe. With these accomplished facts we should enter the new year full of hope and joy, working this year with a more determination to help advance humanity. REVENUE COLLECTOR. W. L. Alexander of Montgomery, Ala., was appointed revenue collector last week and was confirmed by the United State Senate. Rather a peculiar incident, there was no protest against his nomination.

Just 43 years ago last Monday Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, caused to be put into operation his famous document known as the Proclamation of Emancipation, which he had written a hundred days prior to that day, liberating nearly 4,000,000 of African slaves. In many of our cities the churches, clubs and literary societies met and eulogized the good deeds of this great liberator and martyr to the cause os human liberty. We should always celebaate this our natal day in America and should always revere, hallow and perpetuate the names of those noble liberty loving patriots who worked and died for our freedom. MT.

In France there are 6,000,000 smokers, and of every fifteen there are eight who smoke a pipe, five who smoke cigars, and only two who use cigarettes. Still the French consume more than 6,000 cigarettes a year. The Grip. "Before we can sympathize with others, we must have said ourselves." No one can realise the suffering attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has hit the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Champlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, no one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not occurred. For sale by all druggists. A. H.

New Walst Model of Silk—Blue Cloth Suit for Young Lady—Pretty and Simple Dressing Gown—Recipes for Appetizing Dishes. Faicy Gingerbread. One cupful of butter; two of sugar, one of milk, four of flour, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of soda, one tablespoonful of ginger. Beat the butter to a cream. Add the sugar gradually, and, when very light, the ginger, the milk in which the soda has been dissolved and finally the flour. Turn baking pans upside down and wipe the bottoms very clean. Butter them and spread the cake mixture very thin on them. Bake in a moderate oven until brown. While still hot cut into squares with a cake knife and slip from the pan. Keep in a tin box. This is a dessert. With the butter, two tablespoons of ginger-brown can be made. It must be spread on the bottom of the pan as thin as a wafer and cut the moment it comes from the oven. Pretty Dressing Gown. Such a wrap as we all require dur- ing the winter months. The "skirts" are very fine. Indeed, there is very little shape in the whole garment; but a charming finish is arranged by means of the full collar shaped to a point at both back and front and edged with a full frilling of lace. ```markdown ``` The sleeves are short, puffed, and very full; while at the elbow a full frill of the material or, if preferred, a deep frill of lace, is trimmed where, held in place by a hand of ribbon or lace insertion or embroidery. Any who desire it can add a girdle sash or belt to this dressing-gown, catching the fulness into the figure at the waist-line if desired. The best materials to employ are muslin, plain, sprigged, or spotted delaines, soft silk, nun's velling, flannel, flannelette, or even a soft serge. For Dutch Suppers. From the chef of a big eastern hotel comes this relish for Dutch suppers. It is to be used as a filling for sandwiches, or, with thin wafers, to serve with beer. Put half a pound of rich, American cheese through a patent grinder or chop it fine. Add saltspoonful of paprika, a teaspoonful of salt, a level tablespoonful of English mustard which has been mixed with a little vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, and a gill of pale sherry. Mix the whole into a smooth paste with a wooden spoon and stand it in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator.—What to Eat. Pickled Plums. For nine pounds of blue plums allow five pounds of sugar, one quart vinegar and an ounce of stick cinnamon. Pick the plums with a large needle and pour the boiling hot syrup over them and let stand until cold. Heat the syrup and pour over the plums for four successive days. On fifth day boll together for twenty minutes before sealing in jars. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Salt dissolved in alcohol will often remove grease spots from clothing. A small square of asbestos kept on the ironing board will save the ironing sheet. A little lard or butter always improves cakes made of Indian meal, as it makes them light and tender. A delicious crust is formed on sponge cake if the top is dusted over with powdered sugar just before the cake is put into the oven. Carpets may be refreshed and brightened by going over them once a week with a broom dipped in hot water that has a little turpentine in it. Street or School Suit. Girl's suit of red cloth. The skirt is finished at the bottom with a wide band of the material stitched at the edges. 100 The new empire jacket has a short-waisted upper part ornamented with four large buttons, to which the basque or lower part is attached with plains. The revers and rippled sides of the material, of the material, and the collar and cuffs are faced with black velvet. Wearing of Brown. Brown, which has been so fashion- able all the season through, is gain- ing in favor rather than diminish, and there are as many shades almost as it is possible to find in any color, and it suits everybody. Since it has been so much in favor many new shades have been brought out in it and many new names given to old shades. The brown, mackerel, accone brown, snuff brown, golden brown, moleskin brown, deer brown and hundreds of others; perhaps these are more in favor than the mahogany shades, but not so much so walnut and chestnut shades, so does orange. A good many cashmeres and long-skirted coats in fine cloth have had a great following in this color, and rich silk braid looks very well on ladies cloth of tabac tone. Terra-cotta or wood shades convey more to the mind, but warmer tones of brown are really most in favor. Cashmere in these brown shades is trimmed with ruchs of lace put on in a scroll work. of the same bordered with stitching. The narrow vest is ornamented with soutache, and the neck is finished with a plating of batiste. 1 Three ruffles of the silk form caps for the sleeves, which are finished at the bottom with bands of the material, ornamented with soutache and bordered with plaitings of batiste. Stiffened Foundation Skirts. The coming vogue of overskirt effects will demand some considerable stiffening to be used in the foundation skirt, for the natural swing of the hip will give the top part of the skirt an outward tendency, while the flounces that are destined to fashion the lower part of the skirt are more official aid if they are to conform to the dictates of Dame Fashion and continue to display the same outward line. Interlinings, and especially those of a feather-weight princess hairstyle, are in high favor abroad, and the best makers on this side have taken their cue from their Parisian brethren and adopted the same, to the great success of their creations. New Flannels for Waiate Gay checked and striped flannels of all colors of the rainbow are in for autumn waists. Among them none are more attractive than a white flannel, striped at wide intervals with bright colored tartan. A very smart waist of this kind was sent to a young woman who means to stay at a nor-ern resort. The waist was hand-tucked in the front, bringing the bright red plaid stripes close together in the front. The full sleeves were tucked, and were finished with a small turned back cuff of tartan. Large pearl buttons fastened the waist in front. Black patent leather belts are popular. Doudoir Confidences Fuchsia reds and blues will play a part in the color scheme. Topcoats for cold weather in cloth, velvet or fur will be much worn. How terribly incongruous most of us are going to look in the empire modes! Coats with the fronts cut like a man's evening waistcoat will be prominent. The circular skirt will be ubiquitous, and most apparent in plains and checks. The postilion will reign.

There is a newer shower, however, something on the tn order, but more comprehensive. This is the kitchen shower and the gifts include every sort of furnishing for the up-to-date kitchen and laundry. Gifts for the dining room are included occasionally, but as a general things the shower is confined to the kitchen outfit. Flowered Net Tea Gown. Flowered net was the material used or a handsome tea gown recently on view. A design of pale pink roses with the faintest of green leaves on white net was made over a lining of pale pink alk and the tea gown was trimmed with a profusion of deep lace paking a garment of the datatiest description.

Finished after several interruptions in 1762, it was largely destroyed by fire in 1837, and immediately rebuilt. Its furnishings are said to be gorgeous. Dropper Her False Teeth. A passenger on an English railway train pulled the "communication cord" the other day and stopped the train. When the guard came to the compartment in which the cord had been pulled he found a distracted woman passenger. She had been looking out of the window and had dropped her false teeth. She wished to go back and find them. Horseshoes In History Even horseshoes have been made to serve the purpose of extravagance and display. Sabina Poppae, the beautiful and luxury-loving wife of the Roman emperor, Nero, is said to have owned a horse, and the world over, horseshoes are supposed to possess all occult power of attracting luck and warding off evil. Willing to Teach. A farmer was in the city hunting for a boy who wanted a farm. The boy could earn a home with food, clothing and education and a future chance to rent a farm, make money from it, and buy farming equipment buying farms while some men are losing them. Is it due to education?—Earl M. Pratt. London Police Court Decision "Sleeping in the open air can only be practiced with safety from street by wealthy persons, or those who can show that they have plenty of means and are doing it for experiment—and then only so long as no obstruction is caused," said the magistrate of a London police court the other day. Warrior's Death-Bed Toast. Gen. Den Sonnaz, Italian senator at Rome, before dying, and just after he had received the Last Sacrament, expressed a desire to put on his uniform. He then called for champagne, and drank with those around his bed, "To the health of the King and the prosperity of the country." Juliet Ahead of Modern Girl The mode of procedure in courtship has indeed altered since Shakespeare's days. He made Juliet first courses her love. She asks, "Does thou love me?" and bids Romeo, if his purpose be marriage, to send her word next day. This is stages in advance of the modern girl. The First Writing. The first writing was picture writing, in which the meaning was indicated by a drawing, as a serpent or bird. It represents those creatures, and the images are used to indicate signs which are substantially the same as our present letters. Brunettes Have Advantage. It is claimed that the faculties and senses of brunettes, as well as of dark and full-colored animals, is much more acute than that of londres and white breeds, which would not avoid dangers which their less fortunate brethren would not notice.
