I had never yot seen her in an earnest mood, and her only ambition in Jito seemed to lie to Aui something to arause her. I had decided to propiso to Violet one day, when something 'occurred to change my course. The door of the next room closing vio lently attracted my attention, and I heard Violet say : .

Itather would 1 spend my last ponny to make a ciT.id happy than go through th; world with a loveless heart. A little toy will brighten a child's eyes, and, though its coat deprives me of some luxury, it bestows on me a joy.

Some one ua loved mo ! I have purchased this jewel with the price of a doll. No, Violet, give me a life of sacri fice and unselfishness, that it may not bo loess and joyless iu the end. that when my parting hours may come I shall not look back upon a desert life without a blossom or even a withered leaf.

REMARKS ABOUT THE EXTREMITIES. IMscoverlce of a Scientist and Ilia Itecommendatlona -Red-Room Ven tilation Onm Arabic Niagara Fall- .The odor of pure perspiration is not un pleasant, as may be proved In clean and healthy babes. When, however, the other eliminating organs those that strain the waste matter from the blood do not duly perform their function, their work is at tempted by the skin. Then a disagreeable odor is generally given to the perspiration. Even in these cases, the odor Is produced mainly after the perspiration has been ab sorbed by the clothing. This last Tact is generally true of tho bad odor which Is associated with the exces sive perspiration of the feet of aorae peo ple. Dr. George Thin, of England, has been investigating the matter, and has communicated the results of his experi ments te the Koyal Society. j The perspiration of the body is generally i Slightly acid. That in the soles of. .the j stockings atid boots he found to be alka- i lino. In this there is a rapid development of a class of bacteria (microscopio vegeta tions), characterlzod by a fetid smell Jmo terlum frytldum). The liuid in the soles of the stockings and of the boots exam ined by the doctor was found to teem with them. Thus the odor Is supposed in somecasos to be dlif, not directly to the perspiration as it cotues from the feet, but to Its subsequent putrefaction. The afflicted will be glad to learn that this odor can be wholly destroyed by boracic acid the acid of boron. The stockings should be changed twice a day. When taken off, they should be placed for some hoars in a jar containing a solution of tho acid. They are again fit for use after drying. To prevent the odor from getting into the boots, cork soles should be worn, and placed at night in the jar and dried the next day. Washing the tender aud sore parts of the feet with the acid will relieve the accompanying 'feeling of heat and pain. Iled-Xtooru Ventilation. If two persons are to occupy a bed room during a night, let them step on welshing scales as they retlra, and then again in the morning, aiid tlley will find Iheir actual weight is at least a pound less in the moriiing.

The tVovirce of Unm Arable There is parhaps no gum so universally used as "gum arable," as it is called in commerce; which' name is incorrect, however, because only an exceedingly small portica comes from Arabia.

Its employment dates back to the earliest dawn of hiotrry, and the Egyptians ex ported it nearly 4,000 years ago, as can be learned from their hieroglyphic writings.

A Toy Article tbat Cannot be do at a Froflt In America. It re-juiri' almost consummate skill to make these toys. Karl, tvorl.man has models at home, and buys materials for manufacture. The skeleton Is construct ed out of lime and plaster -of-I'aris, and the oyes, nose, mouth and ears cut with a knife. The figure being ready, lt Is dip ped lu hot wax and dried. It then goes to the hair-dresser for a wig, and llnally to the work irirls to be dressed. The money value of the doll depends upon its coating of wax ; the thiuly-coated ones usually crack in cold weather. The wax was formerly produced through the agency ot the beo. but a substitute Is beginning to bo found in o-ocerlte, or wax mode from tho residue of petroleum. China dolls are more exclusively the product of the factory. After being mod eled by hand, they are baked in a great oven for a week. During this time the utmost care and watchfulness are re quired. The tenders are never permitted to sleep. A draught of air will produce disastrous results. A sincleoven contains five thonsaud dolls, and thirty ovens are often fnll at once In one factory. At the end of tlie week the dolls come out in all conditions. About one in five Is perfect. After baking, tho dolls are painted and glazed. The imperfect ones are separated by themselves and sold to "fairs" and "cheap John" concerns, which dispose of them to people who infest such places. One German factory has been running about l.'to years, and has produced l.MO, 000,000 dolls. Some of the manufacturers are enormously rich. All attempts at manufacturing dolls in this country have failed, owing to the cheap labor abroad.

CULTIVATING CELERY. ro ln the Flanta -Raising the Crop Win terlng. For those who wish to raise hut a small quantity of colery for home use, lt Is frequently cheaper to buy the plants than to raise them, as they can be had of market gardeners who are expert In raising them, an operation requiring some experience. The soil host adapted to celery Is a black muck, well drained, but with a water stratum a few feet below the nrface. The soil and water should bo free from the ex cess of iron, as this is thought to prodnce rust. This is the character of the foil in the celery district of Kalamazoo, Mich., a district which ships Its celery to all parts of the United States, even to Cali fornia and Texas. Such a soil Is not ab solutely iudispenaable to sacccss, however, as we see excellent crops annually pro duced on a heavy, white-oak clay, which has been bronght iuto a high state of tilth and fertility by constant working and heavy manuring. With a soil In tnlch a condition as this nothing is necessary further than tfl set the plants six or eight Inches apart, in rows four feet apart, keep the ground olean and loose until the plants are a foot to six tee u Inches high, when the handling process is begun by drawing the earth up to and pressing lt around the plants, this operation to be repeated aa tho celery grow. Celery plants may be set out at any time, up to the first of August, or 8tiH later In southern latitudes. During July is the preferable season for most regions north of the Ohio. If planted then, the "hand ling" will begin In September, and by October C crop will be ready to blanch, which is done by heaping the earth up around the plants to their tops. If the crop Is only wanted for winter use, how ever, this banking may be omitted, the plants being taken up In November and stored In trenches by setting them upright and covering with a foot or more of leaves or litter. Or they may be stored lu boxes in the cellar, placing a little earth or sand In the bottom of the box or barrel and packing in the celery upright. it the soil has not bemu heavily manured previously, it may be well to plow out treneLes about four feet apart, spread lu these a few Inches of well-rotted manure, throw the earth back with the plow, smooth with the harrow, and plant over the manure. When a heavy crop is de sired this extra labor will pay, and the Dutch celery growers of the Kalamazoo district practice iton their rich soil. They, however, expect to raise two crops a year. Celery loves water, and an rb indaot supply of this is even more important than manure. There are many spots of low land, liorderlng small streams, which might be easily irrigated by damming the streams. On such 6pots celery growing miht bo made very profitable. Imitation Ivory, Imitation Ivbrf fa made of various sub stances, but the common potato seems about the most unlikely thing from which to manufacture it. The "murphy " has to be put through a rather elaborate chemical process. When it Is completed, it is said to be of a creamy white color, hard, durable and elastic. Furthermore, lt can bo easily colored whlla still In the pulpy state. Celluloid Is one of the mott perfect imitations, and at the same time, lt Is about as Inflammable ns gunpowder. There ought to be a law forbidding tha manufacture of children's toys from this dangerous inbatanca. I once had a ball of celluloid which was seemingly as hard as marble. But by Jnst touching a light ed match t-ojjts polished surface. It burst IntofiamewEich could only be extinguish ed by plunging it Into water. Nice mate rial this, for little girls' bracelets and necklaces ! I never wore any celluloid collars and cuffs after that experiment. Small wonder, though, that lt catches fire so easily, when you come to consider that lt is mad'e of gun-cotton and camphor gum. The Evolution of Cooking. " Erastus," said Mrs. Smith aa she poured the coffee, " do you believe In evo lution ? " "Certainly, my dear." "And is the process of evolution toward perfection f " "Always, my dear, but why do you ask ?" " Because I w as looking through that box of old family diaries yesterday and I found that your father said your mother wasn't aa good a cook as his mother, and your grandfather on your father's sido said bis wife wasn't as good a cook aa his mother; your greatgrandfather on your father's side said " "But, my dear, did I ever say your coo -leg waa not as good as my mother's ? " Yes, you did, and now, F-rastus, you've got to admit one of two things. Either your pet evolution theory Is no good or you, nor your father, nor your grand father, nor your great-grandfather knew good cooking from the side of solo leather." Iflarrlavcea In Rrlttany.
