Ash- 1d second Company of Union- What One Woman Observes. Some men are absolutely devoid of generous impulses. After all men are easily made to feel their own want of force. It is not always the pretty women who make the most show. Women rarely feel that there is any need for a new resolution. When a man reforms in real earnest it makes him a striking figure. A woman can bear heavy troubles without giving evidence of the fact. Most men can relate some experi- ence of hardship in their own career. A woman thinks of herself always, no matter how generous ker disposi- tion. When a woman reaches middle life she begins to hink kindly of woman- kind. | To all men there comes a time when life assumes a positive brightness, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, A Pampered Pet. Everybody has neard of the unbrid- led luxury which often surrounds the life of the Paris dog; but a new devel- opment is reported from Brussels by the correspondent of the London Morning Advertiser. It seems that a lady residing in the Boulevard Baudou- in is greatly attached to her dog, which is of the sheep variety. The animal is never allowed to leave. her side for a moment. She took the dog to the Robiniere theatre, but the mana- ger remarked that a four-footed spec- tator might he a little dangerous, and suggested that the animal should be chained up in the vestibule, the lady holding herself responsible for his be- havior. This proposal was accepted, but when the lady ascended the stair- case she declined to leave the dog, and went to her seat in the theatre, fol- lowed by her pet.. The appearance of the dog in the theatre caused some excitement, and the woman attendant suggested that he should be put out. The police at last interfered and or- dered the lady to leave with her dog. But the lady protested, and said she would complain to the Burgomaster, who, she was sure, would take his dog, not only to the Robiniere, but aiso to the Theatre Royal de la Moundie. One Day at Home. “I tell you,” said young Mr. Morti- mer, proudly, as he saw his wife bear away their only son on his way to bed, “you don’t know how I envy you, my dear, the opportunity of being with that youngster every hour of the day and watching his little mind unfold like—like a flower,” he concluded tritely, but with undiminished earnest- ness. If matters had rested there says the Chicago News, all would: have been well. But after some comment by his wife he continued. “No'time!” he observed, with a’ su- perior smile. “I often hear you say that, my dear, and I suppose you ‘don’t know the curiosity it awakens in my mind. The curlosity,” continued Mr. Mortimer, “as to what you manage to do with your time to fill it up. It is a long day from seven to seven, surely long enough to have an hour for al- most everything that might fall with- in'a woman's sphere; yet somehow you seem to miss much.” Mrs. Mortimer said nothing, but in her mind was born a resclution. The next evening after dinner Mrs. Mortimer approached her husband with a few sheets of paper. “The diary of a day, my dear,” she said, as she thrust the papers into his hand. This is what her ead: “Five o'clock. Baby woke up, and would not go to sleep again. I took him down to the library so that his father should not be disturbed at such an early hour, and kept him amused until 7. “Seven o'clock. Managed to get dressed for breakfast, but was unable to eat it with my husband owing to the fact that baby got badly scratched on a pin, which his father gave him to play with, and had to be sot¢thed. “Right o’clock. Gave baby his bath and breakfast. At breakfast he upset his bowl of porridge over his clean dress, and so he had to be undressed, bathed and dressed all cver again. “Nine o'clock. Took baby out in his go-cart to market and for a little air- ing. Had planned to make a little in- formal call, but baby grew fretful, and I had to bring him home and put him to sleep. “Eleven o'clock. Baby woke up and tried to swallow a button. Sent for the doctor, but meantime got the but- ton out of his throat with my finger. “Twelve o'clock. Baby spilled a bot- tle of ink all over the library table and the rug under it. Also over him- self. “One o'clock. Baby’s third bath to- day. Luncheon. Unexpected company. “Three o’clock. Got baby to sleep after an hour’s trying. “Four o'clock. Baby wcke up fev- erish from his throat. Fell and bumped his head hLadly. “Four thirty. Baby fell and bumped his head again in the same place. Was naturally irritated and fretful.. “Six o'clock. Dressed baby for the fifth time today, so that when his bliss- ful, ignorant father came home he might think a day with baby a heav- en-sent privilege and a woman’s time legitimate matter for perennial jest. Sworn to, signed and submitted.” The Pathway to Beauty. An observant man Tecently said: “The women of today are well groomed, their hair kept in excellent condition, their nails nicely manicured and I'm told they use creams and lo-. tions galore to preserve their good looks; yet few consider expression suf- ficiently to keep a pretty mouth, though it is the mouth which indicates the disposition. A woman may spend a small fortune for massage and cos- metics, but it will be wasted if she does not watch her mouth and keep it sweet. A happy-looking, well-groomed woman, with a sweet, expressive mouth, is the loveliest thing in the world, and there are mighty few or her.” Dear me, what a startling state- ment! and it almost tempts one to take down the “Be Good” motto the landlady has hanging on the wall, and put up one that will read, “Keep Sweet.” But many a mouth is spoiled and made to look old before its time by carelessness about the teeth. The care of the teeth should begin very early in life, and the first little teeth should be kept clean and filled as carefully as the permanent teeth. A child’s tooth should not be pulled un- til it fairly drops at the touch, for if taken from the jaw before the perma- nent tooth is well formed, the jaw shrinks, and the contour of the face is changed. Filling the tiny cavities in.the first teeth does not give pain, and both mother and child will be benefited by a vist to the dentist. Any sort of tricks of biting or twitching the lips should be avoided, as well as the ugly drawing down at the corners of the mouth. The teeth should never be used for nut crackers or scissors if one cares to keen the enamel intact; and while quill or wooden tcothpicks are vastly superior to a pin to remove particles from between the teeth, the only thing absolutely harmless for such use is silk floss. When it is neces- sary to toke strong medicines, if pow- der, put it in gelatine capsules; if liquid, take it through a tube, and in either case rinse the mouth immedi- ately to prevent harm to the teeth. As a thorough cleansing of the teeth requires a certain amount of friction, a.good dentifirce is necessary, and if one is compounded at home, be sure to have the powder smooth as flour, bolt- ing it through silk gauze. One made from six ounces of precipitated chalk with one ounce cach om powdered white castile soap and powdered orris root is satisfactory. When brushing the teeth, brush with an up and down movement, not sideways only, clean- ing the back of the teeth even more thoroughly than the front. A few drops of tincture of myrrh in a glass of water once or twice a week will tend to keep the gums firm and in good condition. Powdered pumice is excellent to remove tartar, but should not be used oftener than once ‘in six weeks. A well-recommended liquid dentifrice is made with two drams of oil of soap, two drams of glycerine, 12 drams of alcohol and eight drams of water mixed with two drops each of oil of cloves, peppermint, anise and cinnamon.—Isobel Delarey in The Pil- grim. Fashion Notes. A number of klack costumes are to be seen, and are being worn by both old and young. Ostrich feathers grow more beauti- ful in their soft tnd exquisite ings, shading and fluffiness. On the plain designs for traveling and outing gowns very small buttons play a conspicuous part. Shepherds’ plaids will be much worn the coming season, although they were practically “done to death” last summer. Artificial] flowers are more fashion able this season than they have been for years, and are worn for many dif- ferent occasions, but especially for evening wear. Another pretty conceit for trim- ming consists of bands of fancy cloth imitating angora and astrakan. Many smart wool costumes are effectively trimmed with these. Fancy vests seem to be the fad just at present, and these may be had to! match any suit with which they might be worn. White, blue, gray, red, green and black may be embroidered with gold, or with the dainty Persian colors. White and light colors still reign supreme in the world of =2vening cloaks and the number of tints that come under the head of white is sur- prising. Ivory, oyster, champagne, pearl and biscuit, as well as pearl gray and faint tones of green, are still re- garded as white and .swansdown, er- | mine and sable are used to trim them. color- | My Other Me. Children, do you ever, In walks by land or sea, Meet a little maiden Long time lest to me! She is gay and gladsome, Has a laughing face, And a heart as sunny; And her name is Grace. Naught she knows of sorrow, Naught of doubt or blight; Heaven is just above her— All her thoughts are white. Long time since I lost her That other Me of mine; She crossed into Time's shadow Out of Youth's sunshine. Now the darkness keeps her; * And, call her as I will, The years that lie between us Hide her from me still. I am dull and pain-worn, And lonely as can be— Oh, children if you meet her, Send back my other Me! —Grace Denis Litchfield, in Indianap- olis News. : Fijian Fire Walkers. Those who witnessed the coronation procession will doubtless recollect a small group of copper-coiored soldiers, with bare legs and outstanding hair innocent of covering. These strange people—Fijians—and their ancient ceremony of the Vilavilairevo, or fire walking, were the subject of a paper read by W .1. Allardyce, C. M. G., at a meeting of the Royal Colonial Insti- tute recently. Admiral Sir N. Bowden- Smith presided. The ceremony of fire walking, Mr. Allardyce explained, is performed by a certain tribe at the istand of Bega, and originated in a legend that in re- ward for having spared the life of a man he had dug out of the ground, one Tui Qualita was invested with the pow- er of being able to walk over red-hot stones without being burned. An earth oven is made, and filled with layers of wood and stone. In this fire is kindled about twelve hours before the fire walking takes place, and, when the hot stones have been exposed by brushing away the charcoal, the na- tives, under the direction ¢f a master of ceremonies, walk over them bare- footed. The temperature at the edge of the oven is about 120 degrees Faherenheit, while on one occasion, when a ther- mometer was suspended over the stones it registered 282 degrees and the solder was melted. Yet, stated Mr. Allardyce, after the ceremony the natives show no signs of the terrific ordeal through which they have gone. By means of a number of views the lecturer gave a realistic idea of the ceremony as performed nowadays. Vice-Admiral Lewis Beaumont de- scribed a fire-walking ceremony, as witnessed by himself. Although those who took part in'it showed no signs of discomfort, he remarked that ap- parently they did not like it over- much. : Replying to questions, Mr. Allardyce said the only explanaticn he could give of the apparent immunity from harm tollowing on the process was that the soles of the feet of the natives were hardened to an unusual degree through constant walking on a sandy, soil, cov- ering coral, which became exceedingly hot under the sun.. Taere was also the element of absolute beiief by the na- tives in the legend tnat they were Strange Land ‘lenures. Every student of English history or fiction has read of ancient leases of property which require rent to he paid in peppercorns or roses, or in some other curious way. The Windsor Mag- azine describes some customs in con- nection with Jand tenure which are still more curious. Whenever a certain estate at Ching- ford, in Essex, passes into new hands, the owner, with his wife, man servant and maid servant, goes on horseback to the parsonage and pays homage by blowing three blasts upon a horn. He carries a hawk upon his fist, and h's servant leads a greyhcund, both sup- | posed to be for the use of the rector for that day. The newcomer receives a chicken for the hawk, a peck of oats for his horse, and a loaf of bread for his grey- hound. After dinner the owner blows three more blasts, and then with his party withdraws from the rectory. The “Castor-Whip Tenure” is even more remarkable. On Palm Sunday every year a servant from the Brough- ton estate attends service at Castor church with a new cart-whip, and after cracking it three times in the porch, marches with it to the manor-house. When the clergyman begins the ser- mon the servant quits his seat. A purse containing thirty pieces of silver is fixed at the end of the whip-lash, and, kneeling on a cushion, Le holds the purse suspended over the head of the clergyman until the end of the sermon. Then purse and whip are left at the manor-house. The “Whisper Court” at Rochford, Essex, is a strange Michaelmas ob- servance held under the superintend- business of the court is carried out at midnight in the open air. The absence cof a tenant is punisha- ble by a fine of double his rent for each hour he fails to be in attendance; no artificial light except a firebrand is permitted; the proceedings are record- ed by means of one of the embers of the brand. The roll of fourteen ten- ants is called over and answered to in proof against fire.—London Standard. | | tors is ence of the steward of the manor. The | a whisper, and then they knee! and swear allegiance. The explanation of this odd cere- mony <is that, very many. years ago, the lord of the manor, after an ab- sence from his estate, was returning home by night. Passing over King’s Hill, he accidentally heard some of his discontented tenantry plotting his as- sassination, and, thus warned, he reached home by an unexpected route. He enacted that from that time forth the tenants of his estate should as- semble every year exactly at the same time to do him homage round a post which he erected on the precise spot where the plotters met. The Ever Useful Knot. There isn’t a human being who doesn’t have to tie knots for one rea- son or another. The best apprenticeship in knot ty- ing is in learning how to tie up a bun- dle. Perhaps the best knot used in tying up packages is one where the end of a cord is doubled back and the knot tied near the end. This results in form- ing a loop of twine that will break before it loosens under strain. A great amount of string is wasted usually in deing up a parcel; and few persons really know the best manner of tying up a package. Begin by measuring off enough cord to 1go along the top of the parcel lengthwise and half way down the side. Double this length, and in a similar manner lay off four times the length ‘of cord required to go across the package and zilow several inches over. Carry the cord once around the package the long way and twice around it, cnce near each end, cross- ways. Secure the parts of the cord that cross by winding one once around the other. Tie the cord with a loop knot where the lenger piece of cord intersects the shorter near the right-hand end of the parcel as it lies before you. Secure any length of twine left un- used by fastening it along the longer cord : between the two crossings of the others. This thickens and tends to strengthen the part of the twine naturally used as a handle with which to convey the package. One of the extremely useful knots is the clove hitch, which is not a knot at ail until it is put in position around a rod or some such support and pulled tight. : Then no knot equals it for taking held and holding on to the most slip- pery of surfaces, even a glass tube. The cord must not be too hard in tex- ture or too large in diameter. It is simply impossible to pull any object cut of a clove hiten. This knot is the best fastening in the world with which to tether an ani- mal or a boat to a stake, and should be the only one used to fasten ropes for a swing or hammock, for it never pulls loose. : It is a simple matter to make it. Two loops in the cord, one passed be- hind the other, are slipped over what- ever it is intended to secure. Then the ends are pulled tight and that is all. 5 Scmetimes you will want to mend a broken fish rod, a bat, a handle to an axe, an oar, or some such matter. The most simple and the best way to do this is by using the long loop splice. It ‘must be made with firm, well twisted cord, or it can be made with copper or sc’t annealed iron cr steel wire. If small articles.are to be mended, stout linen thread may be used, but it should be well waxed. Fasten the ends of the broken arti- cle together temporarily with a bit of thread or with wax. Make a long loop and lay it along on top of the part to be mended, beginning below the fracture and ending beyond it. With the thumb of your left hand hold the loop where it is dcubled over. Wind the cord at the open end of | the loop two or three times around the article to be mended in such a way as not to pull open the loop; then wind the cord close and tight the rest of the way to within a short distance of the other end of the loop. Be careful to lay the cord neatly and firmly, so that no part of it lies on any other part. If you find difficulty in starting to wind your cord without pulling apart the loop, you may fasten the part of it where you have to begin winding with a pin or with a small curtain tack, vhich you can remove atterward. Having reached within a short dis- tance of the doubled over end of the loop, taread the end of your cord through the loop and pull it until the loop disappears, being tucked well away under the wrapped layers of twine. This makes an extremely neat splice. If, however, ihe break is square across or too abrupt to admit this treatment, splints will first have to be laid along on each sid of the fracture and the whole wrapped as de scribed.—New York Press.

Jf the bids do not reach the appraised there will be no sale. gan CCIENCE NOTES. Veloxite, the new stable smokeless powder invented by Colonel Hope of the British Army, contains seventy- three percent. more power as a propell- ing agent, weight for weight, than the government's present powder. The Wright Brothers, of Ohio, recently made rour flights, in North Carolina, with their aeroplane. Their machine weighs 700 pounds and is borne by huge wings which have behind them a pair of screw propellers. — Dayton, Discussing the possibility of propell- ing ships, particularly warships, by the discharge of streams of water through the hull, a writer in the En- gineering Magazine says that with two 600 horse-power De Lanal engines and pumps 17,000 tons of water could be pumped from a ship. Cuenot, who has perhaps done the best original work on the subject of the possible determination of sex, says that “the classic examples of insects and frogs, in which it was supposed that external conditions acting on the later embryo determined the sex, have been shown to be capable of a differ- ent interpretation.” An article in the Revue Generale des Sciences describes some highly novel and interesting experiments by MM. Jean Demoor and Van Lint. They found that when emulsions obtained from the glands of one animal were in- jected into another, toxic action was set up, and that when serum obtained from the second animal was injected into the first animal, the organ from which the original emulsion’ was ob- tained was directly affected by the serum. The Cost of War. M. Jules Roche, formerly minister of commerce in France, recently gave some interesting estimated as to the cost of a European war. The point of comparison is made with 1870, and taking as a basis M. de Freyinet’s cal- culation that 600,000 men ‘were en- gaged, without including the 300,000 or 400,000 men in reserve in the camps and in the various garrisons at the mo- ment of the armistice M. Roche esti- mates that the cost of each soldier from Sept. 15, 1870, to Feb. 10, 1871, was 13f. 80c. per diem. It would be very different now. Instead of 600,000 soldiers in the fighting line there would be at least 2,000,000 in round fig- ures. The thirteen classes forming the active army and the first reserve, taking each class as consisting of 160, 000 men, give a total of 2,080,000. The Germans would put in their first line more than 2,550,000 men; Austria- Hungary, 1,300,000; Italy, 1,200,000. France, therefore, to place herself on a numerical level with Germany only, would have to appeal to at least six classes of her territorial army, these comprising 900,000 men, and thus bring up her field strength to 3,000,000, who would have to be mobilized, con- centrated, transported, and nourished. In addition there would be more than 600,000 horses for the cavalry, artil- lery, engineers, and army service, of which at least 500,000 would have to be bought and paid for. Counting 15f. per head per day for each soldier would be certainly less than the truth. M. Roche then makes an elaborate survey of the enormous expense en- tailed by the dearness of provender, the reparation of lost and used-up ma- terial and general destruction of prop- erty, and puts 30,000,000f. per day as the cost of a big Eurcpean war under present conditions. at How Animals Swim. Almost all animals know how to swim without having to learn it. As soon as they fall into the water or are driven into it, they instinctively make the proper motions, and not only manage to keep afloat, but propel themselves without trouble. Exceptions are the monkey, the ca- mel, giraffe and llama, which cannot swim without assistance. Camels and llamas have to be helped across water, and giraffes and monkeys drown if they enter it. Now and then both of the latter species manage to cross wa- terways when they are driven to ex- tremities, just as human being occa- sionally can keep themselves above water through sheer frigat. A funny, though able, swimmer is the rabbit. He submerges his body with the exception of head and tail. The latter stick away up into the air and his hind legs make ‘*‘soapsuds” as Lhe churns the water madly to get away. But with all his awkwardness he is a swift swimmer and ‘is only beaten by the squirrel among the land ; animals. The squirrel swims with his heavy tail sunk away down in the water and his head held high. He cleaves the waves like a duck, and a man in a rowboat has all he can do to keep abreast of the swimming squirrel. One thing that none of the land-liv- ing animals dces is to dive. No mat- {ter now hard pressed a swimming { der, rabbit, squirrel or other purely t terrestrial animal may be, it will re- i main above water. But the muskrat, | beaver, ice bear and otter dive imme- ! diately.—Boston Budget. Women’s Vanities in Turkey. | An imperial tirade has been pub- i lished at Constantinople, in which | married Turkish women are command- | ed to discard all brilliant ornaments, ‘such as necklaces and bangles, when appearing in public. They must he dresed with Jdecorum, and in accor:- ance with the Mussulman law, the or- dinance says, in default of which the husbands of women be visited with punis so offending will successful To Use a Gas Range. If the gas range is used and proper=- ly treated it is the greatest economizer cf strength, time and fuel. The im- portant thing to bear in mind is that matches are cheaper than gas. Don’t leave a burrer lighted because you will need it in five or ten minutes. Turn it off as soon as you are through using it, then light it again when you are ready. Don’t light up and then go on ta fill your kettle or get out your frying pan. Have all in readiness before you light the flame. Don’t use the large burners when the smaller ones or the simmerer will do just as well. Turn the burners down so as to use only what gas is needed. Sez that the flame is blue, not red. The red flame is wasteful, indicating imperfect combus- tion. If any of the burner holes fill up, clean them out with a wire or re- move and beil in a sclution of strong soda and water. This last treatment cannot be given however, with the old style two-piece or cementer burners. Don’t light the oven more than four or seven minutes befcre using. Longer is waste. Plan the baking and broiling so as to do as much as possible at the same time with the same flame. If you want to keep anything warm in the upper oven simply light the oven lighter, and let that burn without turning on the gas in the oven burn- ers. Kitchen Neglect. ‘Why should kitchens be always built at the back of the house, where the grass is trimmed down and slop pails accumulate?Why have a back of the house, anyway, instead of two fronts, equally respected? The writer recalls in Georgia a long brick house, with three front doors, one of them the Kitchen door; you could look straight through the house in pleasant weather, because there were thres other doors facing the ones that looked over the bay. The rose that was trained over the drawing room ran along to the Kkit- chen and peeped in at the dear old mammy who sang there very often. To balance things, the peach tree that was trained, English fashion, cn the sunny wall of the kitchen, extended its pliant branches to the dining room grape vines, says the Cooking School Magazine. Parsley grew in the violet borders, the cream smelled of rcses, and the flavor of peach leaves that shamed the druggists’ product lingered in the cake. The mistress could sit in the draw- ing room and see the children coming home from school, or guests driving up from either direction, and, consequent- ly, a fresh handkerchief, collar were always ready. Dicey in the Kkit- chen could always ‘see them, too; the cake was on the plate and Zeke was in his dress-coat when the door-knock- er rapped. And no one in that house knew the front or the back thereof. In‘ was a kindly and original old Pennsylvania German who built a great sunny kitchen where the... com- pany room is generally placed, because, he said, “mother” spent nearly all of her time in the kitchen, and she should have the best. He gained praise in his county, but no followers, a and Loar Recipes. Yorkshire Pudding.—Beat two eggs until light colored and thick; add one pint of milk and one level teaspoonful of salt; pour half of this on one and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour, then add the remainder; beat well and pour into a roasting pan; drop over the top three tablespoonfuls of dripping, in small pieces; bake forty-five min- utes; serve with rcast beef or roast lamb. Pctatoes au Gratin.—Put two table- spoonfuls of butter in a frying pan; when melted add two tablespoonfuls of flour; stir until smooth, then add one cup of thin cream and one cup of stock when boiling remove from the fire; add the yolks of two eggs, three table- spoonfuls of grated cheese, salt and a little cayenne; but a layer of sauce in a baking dish, then a layer of sliced potatoes, then more sauce; when four potatoes, cold boiled have been used, spread buttered crumbs over the top; brown in the oven. Farina Jelly.—Soak one-half ounce of gelatine in one-half cupful of cold water; put one cupful of milk and three-fourths cup of sugar over the fire in an agate pan; stir until the sugar is dissolved; as soon as it boils add two tablespoonfuls of farina rubbed smocoth in a little cold water, stirring a minute; cook until clear, add the gel- atine and stir until dissolved; remove from the fire and when beginning to stiffen add one pint of whipped cream; turn into a mould and stand in a cool place; add one teaspoonful of vanilla extract when the farina is cooling. Steamed Apple Pudding.—Make a biscuit crust with one pint of flour, two level teaspoonfuls of baking pow- der, one cupful of milk, half a tea- spoon salt and two level tablespoonfuls of butter. Fill an agate pan two- thirds full with sliced apples, sprinkle over granulated sugar, a little grated nutmeg or grated lemon rind. Roll the dough on a floured board, wet the edge cof the crust; place the penon the ! edve of the crust; place the pan on the back of the range; cook for two hours. When ready to serve put a large plat- ter over the pan, inverted. This will leave crust down and apples on top. Serve with lemon sauce. | 5 4
