last ten minutes of each hour wire

compelled to keep silent In order
to catch any possible distress calls.
The magnetic radius Is fixed by
the agreement at 300 miles, but It
does not determine which ships

order to avoid confusion in wave
lengths.
All wireless messages are to have

than figured ones. A sensible and attractive way of making up a work apron
is shown here. The other illustration is that of a charming little creation to
be slipped on when pouring afternoon tea or when doing fancy work. It is of
fine lawn Inset nnd edged with Valenciennes lace. Tho lawn and lace npron,
with cap to match, Is also a suitable maid's outfit.
CURLY HAIR.
Art May Step In Where Nature Has
Been Unkind.
If you wish to make naturally
straight hair curly there are several
methods, but tho results are only tem
porary. Shampoo the hair with soapy water
In which a few grains of carbonate of
potash have been dissolved. While
tho hair Is still damp plait the parts
that need to be waved in tight braids,
or else put them up In thick locks
over hairpins. If more Hufflness is de
sired dress tho hair loosely while
damp. Hulling out the front with tho
fingers.
Another method Is to moisten the
hair with strong tea or aromatic vine
gar, In which about ten grains of car
bonate of potash to a half pint of the
tonic have been dissolved.
There are some bandolines and
mucilaginous fluids which will aid in
keeping the hair in curl. It is bad to
use these constantly, as their tendency
Is harmful to the hnir structure. When
used only occasionally say two or
three times a month a curling Huid
Is not greatly Injurious.
The hair may bo moistened with the
following before rolling it over kid or
rng curlers:
Tratfacanth ounce
uoso water i pint
Oil of almonds dram
Crush tho tragacanth and put it in
tho rosowater, let the vessel stand in
a warm place, stirring occasionally till
tho gum is swollen nnd soft. Strain
through a single cheesecloth nnd then
through three thicknesses. Then add
almond oil and a few grains of car
mine or saffron to tint it

YOU SHOULD REMEMBER
That to believe In goodness
makes goodness.
That every promise Is nn obli

than a true oue.
That It Is much easier to bo
critical than correct.
That the woman who knows
when to hold her tongue also
,t. holds her friends.
' It's always tho lost oppor-
X tunltlos that seem to bear the
highest rate of interest.
That being well dressed doesn't
atone for being 111 mnnnered.
X That the woman who talks too
T much always gives herself away.

t u little of everything seldom t
knows much of anything.

An Effective Filter.
A cheap lijier may bo inndo by tak
ing a piece .if chamois leather, about
two Inclu's square, put It over tho
opening of the faucet and blud round
tightly with string. It keeps back
all impurities, and saves tho water
from splashiug when turned on. Tho
leather should bo taken oft three times
a week nnd wnshed. You will bo sur
prised ut the quantity of dirt that ac
cumulates in it
Homemade Alcohol Lamp.
A slmplo Kplrit lamp can be easily
mado out of a tin blacking box. Drill
holes till round tho lid, 1111 tho box with
nbsorbent cotton and sonk It with
alcohol. Put tho lid on, and place a
lighted match against tho holes. As
tlio alcohol evaporates It will burn llko
a small gas ring. This makes a splen
did little stove for invalid's food.
THE MAN WOMEN LIKE.
The one who has coolness In
a crowd.
The one who can face a storm
with a laugh.
The one who can light n fire or
hunt a burglar without losing his
head.
The one who is brave without
foolhardiuess.
Tho one who Is not fussy
about trllles.
Tho one who quietly stands
between her and the hard and
dangerous things of life.
The one whose chivalry is so
perfect that ho never snubs a
woman no matter how well she
may nave deserved It.
CLEANING HOUSE.
Forethought and Method Save Work
and Worry.
Tho spring campaign of house clean
ing may be simplified by using method
and forethought.
It is always wise to provide In ad
vance the necessary tools and utensils,
such ns nails and hammer, picture
cords, brushes, brooms, mops, cloths,
paper, paint, varnish, shelf papers,
soaps, soda, ammonia, floor and furni
ture polish, etc.
The next thing to do Is to begin at
tho top of the houso nnd turn out all
the cupboards and drawers, rclinlng
these with clean paper and eliminating
superfluous or otherwise useless ar
ticles. Then wash nil curtains, bod valances,
covers, blinds, etc., the advantage of
this being that when tho rooms are
scrubbed out everything is ready to be
put back again, clean and blight, and
so complete the whole effect.
It is ndvlsablo to do ono room at a
time whore practical. If painters nnd
paper hangers are necessary then one
must try nnd lit in the work as meth
odically us jiosslble to avoid a muddle.
It Is policy to have little cooking to
do, so that tho maids may get on quick
ly. Therefore provide a good joint.
ple, etc., to last a few days.
When turning out a room the best
way to go about it is as follows:
Lift the carpet, having arranged for
it to be beaten and returned in readi
ness for relaying.
Itemovo all pictures anil ornaments.
Wash those thoroughly and pack the
ornnmoi.rs In n clothes basket, which
should be well covered and kept free
from dust.
Tho ceilings and walls should be well
cleaned.
If a bedroom Is being done tho mat
tresses should be taken Into tho open
air nnd beaten thoroughly. The bed
steads should be rubbed thoroughly
with a cloth wet with kerosene. This
brightens and cleans the bedstead
Tho picture frames and glass must
next be well washed. No soda must bo
used for this work. White paint is
much Improved If rubbed with a little
dry whiting nnd then well cleaned with
a leather. The outside frames of the
windows should also bo done.
Tho windows are next polished. A
llttlo ammonia In tho water gives a
brilliant luster to glass of any kind.
Tho furniture then requires to be
wnshed with a llttlo warm water and
vinegar to remove all greasy marks
and finally polinhed.
Everything is now ready to bo re
placed. The carpet is relaid. If it Is
surrounded by linoleum or stained
boards these arc cleaned and polished
with floor polish.
