The easiest way to keep one's bands
nice is not to employ them in any dirty
work and to have them attended to
regnlarly by a profer-sioiial manicure.
This is trasible for about one woman in
a hundred thousand and so is senseless
advice for most of us, but we can pro
tect our bands with loose, soft, whole
gloves while doing dirty, grimy work
in the house or in the garden, etc. We
can imptove them by remembering that
one cannot have white hands who wears
tight clothing.
When the bands are very dirty, it is
better to r;:b them thoroughly with cold
cri am before washing them. Then wash
in warm water, using pure soap and a
nailbrush, rinse in cool water and dry
thoroughly on a soft tcweL
Two-thirds of all women dry their
bands very imperfectly and then won
der why the skin is rough. A few drops
of good hand lotion should be rubbed
all over the bands and allowed to dry in
after they have been in water for some
time, as so many housekeepers' hands
must be so often and always at night.
Tbe Lands should not be exposed to cold
air for some time after they have been
ashed
A complete manicure equipment em
braces ever so. many things, but one can
keep her bands nice with a very few of
them. A pair of manicure scissors, a
nail ble aud a smooth wood stick are all
that are really necessary. Uc-utlewoni-tn.

When fashion decreed that the girl of
1899 must wear shirt waists with stiff
bosom?, it suggest?! a fresh difficulty
What would become of her watch T
She could not wear it attached to a
chain and stnek in her belt when she
had on a shirt front of masculine gloss
and stiffness. That was absnrd. Nei
ther would it be appropriate to wear it
on a chatelaine pin.
The jewelers have helped her out of
her dilemma by bringing cut a new

A Dainty Bridal Gift.
At a recent wedding the bridesmaids
gave to the bride a chest of linen as a
joint prrsent The chest was a hand
some piece of furniture made of quar
tered oak, finely polished and fitted
with compartment trays. Its contents
included four sheets and pillowcases of
fine linen, hemstitched and with the
bride's initials in small letters at one
side just below the hem ; a beantif ul
tablecloth and a dozen dinner napkins,
each piece having tbe bride's initials,
and a number of fancy doilies and tray
clotbs The embroidery was the work
of the donors, a fact which naturally
enhanced tbe value of the gift. Sprigs
of lavender were laid away in the folds
of the linens each picee of which was
done op in tissue paper tied with white
ribbons, a spray of orange blossom le
iug fastened to the bow of white rib
bon which tied together the cards of the
donors.
The Problem.
"I wonld give," said a man the other
day. "11,000, plus wages, to a callable
servant who wonld agree to remain in
my employ for ten years." The man
who spoke lives in a college town in a
neighboring state, and be went on to
say that the problem of securing assist
ance to carry on the work of a bouse
was becoming about asimtiortant as the
matter of university education. It is
almost impossible, as many can testify,
to keep servants in these small centers.
The local worker will not enter domestic
service, and the imported giiL usually
from a neighboring city, soon tires of
her quiet surroundings. Wbo will solve

cf tener the birds. She had a large cae
of fitches, and when tha coachman cno
d.iy trcfjbt br a brilliant and tvanti
fr.l little? bird, which she bad never b-
fcre st-n. she put biui ia with ber old
favc-rit'-s. She says:
Ab.:t half an Lour Liter my attention
was attracted by two or three curious
feathered lumps on the graveled floor of
the cage.
tin closer examination these proved
to be the heads of some of my birds,
which the newcomer, a member of th
shrike familv, as it proved, bad twb-ted
off Besides, be bad found time to go
round among the nests and turn out all
the eggs and young birds
My dismay and horror can be iin
sffined. but luncheon and guests were
waiting, and I hastily begged a tall
Irish orderly on duty in the hall to
catch the newcomer and let bun go
Now tbis man loved my birds quite
s mncb as I did and seem?d to spend
all his leisure time in foraging for
them, ne re-eived my hurried order
in glim silence, but when I was once
more free aud able to inquire bow mat
ters had been settled all I could get out
of O'Cailagban was;
"I've l amed him to wring tittle
birds' necksl"
"Did yon catch bini easily?" I in
quired. "Quite easily, in- Ltdy. and I l amed
him :"
This was said in a voice trembling
with rage.
"What have you done to him?"
No answtr, save a murmer.
"But I want to know what has hap
pened to that bird." I persisted.
"Well, my lady. I've 1'arned him"
a panau "I've wrcnged his neck!'
To Spell "Choir."
"There is hardly one out of a hun
dred persons, if he saw the word choir
spelled quire, bnt would suppose that
the spelling was wrong." explained
Mr. Charles F. Homiller of the war de
partment to a Washington Star report
cr. "but it wcnld be right just the
same, for q-n-i r e spells and means
choir jnnt as mnt h as if spelled c-h-o-i-r
For 20 years Welder's Dictionary has
given both spellings of the word as ap
plying to a choir or a 'congregation of
singers, a chnrch quire.' The word
quire also applies to that part of a
church where the choir or quire is gen
eraliy located in the immediate vicinity
of the organ. Webster. like many oth
ers. preferred spelling the word choir
as it is generally spelled, c-h-o-i r.
thopgh he maintained that either is
comet, and other lexicographers and
more modern dictionary architects
agree with bint lp to 25 years ago
none of the dictionaries, as far as I
have boen able to disc-over, gave the
double spelling for the same word
Quire up to that time related exclusive
ly to a certain quantity of other things
th;;ti ehnrili or other singers, but since
it i applied tolxith. I reiiieniKT in my
Lot i.ood days attending singing schools
and old folks' conceits, whin the word
cbeir was often spelled on the pro
gramme q-u-e-e-r The spelling was
more correct than otherwise, though I
did not think so then. We have plenty
of choirs nowadays that have qneer
singers in theni aud who make queer
sounding music."

Robbie had longed for a baby brother
and a paircf white rabbits. The answer
to loth wishes came on the same morn
ing. but it was not quite satisfactory,
for there were two baby brothers and
only one rabbit. Robbie was greatly
disgusted at the mistake. The next day
his father found the following notice
tacked to the gatepost: "For Sale One
nice fat baby: or I will exchange Lim
for a white rabbit"

Chinese Ilabr Show,
There were 200 entries in the recent
Chinese baby show, the first ever held
in the tmpite, and tbe little ones pre
sented an extraordinary appearance.
They wore satin blonses and embroider
ies of wonderful make. The little boys
bad shaven head, while the girls' hair
was stiffened and polished and dressed
in the grandest fashion. Patches of
pink rou:;e were put on the smooth yel
low cheeks, and the Months were touch

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton calls at

"To Err is Human."
People like to talk about attractive
things in advertising. In a company
recently the proverb above quotetl, and
which appeared at the head of one of a
well constructed series of advertise
ments of Hood's Sarsaparilla, was so
much discussed that we doubt if any
one there will ever forget the source
whence it came. Messrs. I fond & Co.
are using these proverb advertisements
on a very broad scale, and they are at
tracting discussion and favorable com
ment everywhere.
Consideration for Workicjiaen.
Mayor Schaadt, of Allentown, upon
his Installation into office decided upon
a reform. On Tuesday morning he
Lad the first opportunity to execute it.
Six hoboes bad applied for lodging n
the previous night and it was secretly
arranged by the mayor aud his offi
cials that they should, in the morning,
scrape the streets for au hour or two in
return for the city's charity. The men
were turned over to Assistant Street
Commissioner Swanz, who gently in
formed tbe men what was expected of
them. The hoboes grew sullen anV
after n few minute", one of them spke
up:

American inventors if snake stories

Bengali has entered into competition,
and judging from the sample given in
good faith by a native paper at Calcut

back the lovely daughter of a wealthy
Zemindar was bitten by a cobra and
died in the course of a few hours. As
her remain were N-iag conveyed to the
Ganges for sepulture a passing patri
arch of reverend mien proposed that he
should be allowed to experiment with
resuscitation. As he bore a high repu
tation as a professor of occult science,
the sorrowing relatives readily consent
ed. The sage then obtained three cowries,
and after praying very energetically
threw the shells on the,ground. In-tant
ly one disappear!, and the spectator
were wondering w hat bad la-ec me of it
when a huge cobra burst out tf the ad

Within an hour its human victim bad

Xature'a Cunning;.
Protective mimicry, that cunning de
vice of nature to preserve unheals from
their r-uemi-'S, is well shown in the
e?;gs of certain fishes, not.,1 ly the Cali
fornian shark known as tiyroplenrodus
frar.cisci The shark is of a sluggish
habit lurking among rocks, and its
dark egg resembles a leuf of kelpor aeti
weed folded up spirally It is deposited
among the beds of ktlp and clings to
th.-leaves by the edges cf the s-iirals.
The young shark bursts open the end
of the egg and swims away. Another
shark's egg of tbe Pacific coast has ten
tacles which clasp the seaweed and
nlj imitate its appearance.

Of all tii.- tiusls tlmt luiveU-n form
ed of bi' th" most in---.riant is
qu--'-.M..tb!y the Great Bolter-,' Tnwt,
just orgini.tl io Hrrisb;irg, under the
niinagemeut of one I'liuu, a contractor
of Pi'-tsbur. It prop-xses to utilise the
whole State of Pennsylvania, and if it
etn only accomplish what It hopes to
the Co.-arnnu A-ea'.'.h will be a genrr,
SUie enough.
There are, however, one or two weak
points ab-)ut the Trust. First of all,
iu members will be obliged to trust
ea..- oilier, aad the fact that they must
do this insy prove falal. In the past
some ot them could not b trusted
around the comer. There is I'linu
himself, for iiestancf. When a man Is
controlled by hatred and malhre in
politics he Is liable to d altr.ost any
thing tb t is queer, even to desert his
prty aal to deny the right of the
majority to rule.
Then there is Martin. How enn the
iU3iubers of the Great Bolters' Trust
place any con tVieuee in him? Did he
not pledge himself to Penrose for M-ty-or
four yers ago, and did he not with
in a d ty of the convention pl tnge tha
dagger of the pilitioil assa-sHiti into
him? Did he not have t fie same dagger
whetted to plunge into Ashbridge?
Did he not pledge hinm-If to Quay for
Senator, and did he not break that
pledge in the most dastard y m inner?
He occupies his peat iu the Senate by
false political pretenses. How, then,
can he be trusted? And what can be
said of Magee ? Is he, also, not a traitor
to his party ?
Mien who have proved false to party
allegiance cannot for any length of
time prove true to each other, and this
weakness is not unlikely to give the
(Jreat liofter' Trust a severe chill w hen
it gets down to active work. Another
source of weakness is the fact that dur
ing the formation jeriod of three
month tit has accomplished nothing,
and how can it expect to accomplish
anything in the future?
But there is bond of sympathy the
bond of treachery to party that all of
the members of the Great Bolters'
Trust feel iu common, and d niblliss
they rtly upon this lo keep them in ac
cord. So happy are tl.ey over their
disloyalty or is it that they feel the
need of wbistliug to keep up their
eou rage'. that they have organized,
have presented a loving cup to the Boss
Trusf.ee. Sir. l-'iitin, and are going to
eat a dinner at his expense in Philadel-'
phia. Indeed, tbe bl.-.t seems to l-e
that tlicy shall et an annual dinner
that is if Mr. Flinn- will pay for it
and as many of tlie-ru will surely need
it, it is, perh.-t, s, to keep Mr. Fiina in
gvd humor that they have given Lim
the cup. We are not informed as to the
embellishments upon this cup, but pre
sume, .-f cours., that tbe political dag
ger is the chief ortiiimeuiaiion, and
th:it an abyss into u hich the Bolters
are plugging headloiig to poliii. al de
struction is not lacking.
Tbe dinner cannot fail to be enter
taining, and tbe attempt to mike party
treason respectable and beuce fashion
able, will bo watched uith great inter
est It will Ixa momentous occasion
for tLose who must face their constitu
ents afterwards aud it is, perhaps, fit
ting that tbe funeral should be preced
ed by a fea.st.
