K r „ Tark'."<llt iO-TO-BAC CARVING AS AN ART. flt Should lie Tnujtht to Every Child llcrauNc It IM \»m C onsidered an AccoiaipllMlaiiinit. Only persistent practice and definite knowledge make carving a pleasure and a success. Neither illustration nor diagrams are of much assistance in learning this art. As a distinguished authority on carving say® in his mon ograph on the subject: "Illustrations cannot prove hopeful because the ac tual thing before us bears faint re s< mblance to pictures, these being able to give us or.ly surfaces, with no bints cf what may be inside." By right of precedence the cr.rver's chair belongs to the head of the house, either father or mother, but weariness, preoccupation, or, more often, a pa rent's pleasure in contemplating the in creasing deftness of a clever son or daughter in presiding over and prop erly distributing a joint, fowl or fish, leads the elders to resign in favor of the youth when guests are not present. Carving at the table, it is said, is now considered not only a useful art, but a social accomplish men t as well. A prac tical knowledge of its process should be a part of the education of all young people. Children should know how to carve by the time they are 15 years old. In France a boy is required to take his turn in cutting and serving meats at table as soon as he is strong enough to handle the knife and tall enough to readily reach the joint or fowl. Some times he stands upon a broad stool made for the purpose, and he is proud when he is successful, and ashamed when found imperfect. —Chicago Times llerald. FLANNELETTE ROBE.

If our advice were asked regarding the consumption of cereals we would give it emphatically, never eat oat meal every morning, but alternate it with other cereals, such as corn, w heat and rye, which are manufactured in such variety of form that you have no need of duplicatingyour breakfast food but once in two weeks. It has been def initely shown that the continuous use oi oatmeal by the Scotch people has caused more cases of dyspepsia than any other known food. —liobert Mitchell Floyd. To Whiten I'lnno Key*.

The usual form of bandages for bruised or mangled fingers is ordinari ly unsatisfactory or bungling from an abundance of cloth, which is cf very little use in the healing of the sores.

The making and applying of this band age may be thus briefly described: Measure a piece of cloth twice the length of the finger, and cut it square, iold the cloth double, as in Fig. 1 I'l "/// fo '/// >M9i/nP\ __/>//// i : 11 '// mil H'f\ m- ■>//> Vim' '///»\ 'in " tn/ , |/ >,nHn.

Open the bandage, and place it in position (Fig. 2), tb* hand lying palm down on your knee. Then turn the flap (b) over the finger, and tie the first corresponding set ol tails over it in one knot, leaving the ends loose, to be covered by the tying " "'t' m "Hi W/ffli / / I"!"'

'Hie remaining pairs of tails are all tied in the same manner, the last F»-t being fastened in a double knot. In tying ihe tails, draw them snug, but not too tight, as the blood circulation must not be stopped. In medical cir cles this is known as the Hermance bandage. Where mishaps are likely to occur it is advisable to keep a supply of this bandage in stock.—J. Christian Bay, in Farm and Fireside. To Clean Oil I'alntlnirn. Take the picture down from the wall, dust of all cobwebs and dirt, wash the canvas with a sponge and water and cover it w'th shaving soap for a few minutes. Wash this oft with a brush and when the moisture has dried rub the canvas with a linen rag soaked with nitro-benzine. Thiswill leave the paint ing clean but dull of surface, but this defect is remedied by an application ol olive oil and a fine coating of fine color- ICS's varnish. Gilt frames can be bright ened by a washing of onion water, ob tained by boiling some cut onions and mashing them to extract the fluid. EicoHlvr !'*•» of Salt. A medical journal advises against the excessive use of salt. It is first of all a perversion of taste, the condiment de stroying the flavor of delicate dishes too pronounced. Furthermore, it 1* asserted that an excessive use of salt seriously overtaxes the kidneys to re .move it, and that many cases of dei rangenient and disease are due to this excessive use.
