THE SECRET OF OLD AGE.
A novel method of attaining long
evity was practiced by Mrs. Yetta
Schulman, who died recently in New
York at the advanced age of 105
years. Mrs. Schulman paid no par
ticular attention to points of die,t, ex
ercise, sleep, etc., which usually fig
ure largely in rules laid down for
those growing old. She believed that
the lives of aged persons could be
prolonged if they associated constant
ly, or nearly so, with young people,
and she apparently verified her the
ory, for she Bpent the greater part of
her time in company with children,

Coffee Jelly. In making the coffee for breakfast make
one or two extra cups: strain all the coffee from the grounds
when pouring the coffee at table. Let it settle, then pour
off and use the top of the coffee. For two small cups (halt
a pint) of jelly, put half a level tablespoonful of granulated
gelatine into four or five tablespoonfuls ot cold water to
stand about fifteen minutes; add a scant quarter of a cup ot
sugar and the cup of hot coffee; stir over the fire until the
gelatine and sugar are dissolved, then strain into the cups.
When ready to serve set a. cup of the Jelly into warm (not
hot) water that comes up as high on the outside ot the cup
as the Jelly comes on the Inside, remove at once, turn the cup
from side to side, to see that the Jelly loosens from it, and
turn the Jelly on to a chilled plate. Serve whipped cream or
boiled custard around it.

THE SMALL WOMAN'.
No matter how small she is, a wo
man may always have a good figure.
If she has not one to begin with,
she should economize in some other
part ot her wardrobe, and call in the
services of a good corsettere.
If she cannot be impressive, she
can at least be neat and good to look
at.
Use only straight up and down
lines in the development of your gar
ments. Whatever you do, allow nothing
which cuts the figure, horizontally.
The princess model, which is so
much a part of the present mode,
should be a cause of rejoicing among
small women.
Do not wear shirt waists and skirts
of contrasting materials.
This cuts the figure In half, and
lessens greatly the effect of height.
Dispense with belts if possible, and
If not, make them as narrow as pos
sible; and always of the same ma
terial as the frock.
Coats may be almost any length,
hut that most usual of all, the three
quarter. This is usually fatal.
Straight coat seams may he
trimmed, hut never the lower edge.
A trimming there would cut the
figure In two. Philadelphia Bulle

The average man abhors untidi
ness, particularly In the wardrobe of
a ' woman. A pretty widow learned
that in an uncomfortable manner.
Shej met an estimable young bach
elor;, who was attracted by her from
thV ftsst, and she was hourly expect
ing die question which would make
life; very pleasant tor her, when she
accidentally disclosed titaits ot n
tldlnese which cooled his admira
tion. Her outer clothing was ali that
coul be desired, and his feelings
mjr he Imagined when, as she beard
ed, a train, he caught more than a
gllntpiv ot a ragged, soiled petticoat
and a damaged stocking, through
which the white flesh gleamed Just
above her shoe top.
Of course, accidents can happen
all In a minute, but there is no mis
taking the accumulated dirt of days
or a rent which has been neglected
Mid the woman's escort probably
foresaw a future of buttonless shirts
and ragged socks since she did not
seem inclined to keep her own clothes
neat, nlthough she had plenty of
time. Dantiness is one ot the best
attributes of womankind. It mat
ters little what we wear when ws
are Immaculate and beautifully neat.
The girl who Is brought up with the
idea that a frock is only the back
ground of a good appearance and
that good grooming and perfection
of detail, even with extreme simplic
ity, is necessary to make a good ap
pearance, is the one who will attract
and hold the attention of the oppo
site sex. There Is no excuse for a
badly hung skirt, for ragged braid,
for spots and dust and crookedness.
A hand mirror and a llttlo care will
do wonders toward perfect adjust

SCHOOLMA'AMS WANT MUCH.
Women school teachers in Missouri
promise to be thorns In the side of
the Legislature. If exhaustive de
bate were permitted on all the re
forms advanced by the teachers, the
grumbling men assert, there would
be no time for legislation on other
affairs. Evidently the Missouri
teachers have nothing to learn from
their sinters in the profession In this
city, who in their protracted fisht for
equal pay have shown a determin
ation and tenacity seldom developed
by mere man. These are a few ot
the demands which the women
teachers have presented to the Mis
souri legislators: A minimum sal
ary of $4 80 a year, a pension fund
for disabled teachers, consolidation
of rural schools, closing of schools
when attendance Is less than sis pu-
plls, special schools for defective chil
dren, medical Inspection of schools,
tax of one-tenth of one per cent, on
corporations, extension of inheritance
tax, county supervision ot schools,
compulsory attendance in schools and
provision for destitute school chil
dren. In addition to all these, the
teachers ask that a State board pass
on teachers' examination papers.

FOR SOFT COAL STOVES.
Housekeepers who burn soft coal
and have trouble with soot-fllled
pipes should burn potato parings in
the Btove. Save all the parings, dry
thoroughly and put on a hot bed of
coals to burn. It this is done once a
week the pipes will Beldom need to
be taken down to clean. New Haven

TO WASH THE FACE.
This seems unnecessary Informa
tion, but-1 can assure you few peo
ple know how to do It properly.
Use water as hot as you can stand,
together with a generous lather of
castlle soap. Rinse-with tepid water;
last of all spray the face with cold
water. This cleans the pores of the
skin, while preventing them from
sagging. If your face is very dusty,
first rub cold cream Into the Bkln
and wipe off with a towel before be
ginning the washing operation.
A pure white complexion powder
does not hurt any skin and aids in
keeping it clean. New Haven Regis

FOR INSIDE PAINTING.
An experienced painter has given
the following directions for ii.jide
painting:
The first thing is to have the room
tree from dust; the next essential
thing is to kill the knots of tho wood.
When the work is knotted, proceed to
prime It, which must be made to dry
exceedingly hard. In order to stop the
unction of the wood, otherwise the
second coat will, by the operation of
the brush, rub oft the priming in dif
ferent parts of the work, and there
will be no uniformity in the finishing
coat, but It will leave some parts dead
and others of a shining surface. The
middle coat may be of size, color ap
plied warm. Use but little color in
your size or it will scale. To prepare
priming, mix or grind red and white
lead with linseed oil; then, for the
dryers, take a little litharge and burnt
white vitriol or patent dryers, which
must be ground on a slab very fine In
turpentine. Mix them all together
and thin with boiled oil. The burnt
vitriol and litharge act, as it were, In
opposition to each other, and render
the paint exceedingly drying, and the
turpentine with the boiled oil pre
vents the color running. When .the
priming is dry, fill up the nail holes
and crevices with putty. Rub the
surface of tho work smooth with glass
paper and dust it well. Boston Post,
Nut Candy Melt one and a half
cups of sugar; take about one and a
half cups of nut meat and break into
a buttered pan; pour the melted su
gar over the nuts and mark oft as

Cold Duck Salad A delicious salad
may be prepared from cold duck.
Mince the meat fine, adding a small
quantity ot stuffing to it. Season
highly with salt and pepper, stir in a
llttlo minced celery and cover with
mayonsalBe or some similar dressing.
Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves.
Tomatoes on Toast Cut the toma
toes in halves, sprinkle each half well
with salt, scatter over each some
chopped cloves and a tiny' bit ot
chopped green pepper and set in
oven, cut side up, to cook. Have
some rounds of bread in size to match
the halved tomatoes, toast these, but

New York City. The naval blousa
Is an unquestioned favorite and ca-ti
be utilized In various wnys. It can bo
worn as Illustrated or us shown In the
back view, and it makes a most satis-
factory garment for tennis, for golf,
for boating and all occasions of the
ort, and it also is much in demand
for the college girl who utilizes It In a
great many ways. This one Is made
Ot white linen combined with blue,
and is exceedingly smart and attrac
tive. It is an essentially simplo garment,
drawn on over the head, nnd involves
no difficulties in the making, while it
Is smart and comfortable and thor
oughly satisfactory.
The blouse is made with front and
back. There is a short opening at tho
front, which is closed by means of
lacings beneath the tie and the big
sailor collar finishes the neck. The
patch pocket is arranged over the left
Ot the front, and there are short
sleeves that are without fulness at
their upper edges, but which are
gathered at the lower and finished
with straight cuffs. They can be
made either with orwlthout openings.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-eighth yards twenty-seven, two
and a halt yards thirty-two or forty
four Inches wide with ono-half yard
twenty-seven for collar and cuffs.
Sweater Coats.
The automobile 1b where the new
long sweater coats, or coat sweaters,
are best appreciated. They are light
to carry or wear, take up no room,
and are most acceptable if suddenly
changed plans find one a considerable
distance from home in the late even
ing. And there is a wicked delight In
being perfectly comfortable as one
whirls along at thirty miles an hour
wraped apparently In a thin pengee
coat but really In a cozy sw6ater.

lititlon Rosettes.
Above tho plain cuff and frilly edge
of tho elbow sleeve, sot among the
folds of tho full sleeve, one sees now
and then a large rosette with button
centre, the whole made of the thin
cloth material of which the gown is
fashioned.
Blouse or Dross Sleeves.
Sleeves so often need remodeling
whllo the remainder of tho gown Is in
good stylo that new designs are con
stantly In demand. Here are shown
plain long sleeves, Bhlrt waist sleeves
and three-quarter sleeves of moderate
fulness finished with rolled-over
cuffs. Each Is good In its way and all
nro the latest style. Tho platn sleeves
are adapted to more dressy blouses
and the shirt waist and three-quarter
sleeves to the simpler ones. These
last are moderately full, while the
plain sleeves are snug at the lower
portions but slightly full at the shoul
ders, suggesting the leg-of-mutton
Idea.
The plain sleeves are cut in one
piece each and are fitted by small
crosswise darts at the inside of the
elbows. The shirt waist and three
quarter sleeves are made in one piece
each, but the shirt waist sleeves are
finished with openings at their lower
edges, overlaps and straight cuffs,
while the three-quar.ter sleeves are
gathered Into bands to which the
rolled -over cuffs are attached.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for any
sleeves, one and five-eighth yards
twenty-one or twenty-four, one yard
thirty-two or three-quarter yard for-
ty-four Inches wide with one and an
eighth yards of banding for the three
quarter sleeves.
Brand-New Fabric.
A brand-new fabric Just from over

Witchcraft Survival In England.
Remarkable stories of the preval
ence of witchcraft In Somerset and ot
strange medical beliefs common in the
county were told at meeting of teach
ers at Bury, near Dulverton.
Dr. Sydenham, Dulverton, said that
herbalists and white witches were
still living among them, to say noth
ing of "the doctor," or seventh son.
The belief was widely held that
whooping cough couEd be cured By
placing the sufferer on the ground in
a sheepfold; epilepsy by procuring
silver coins from friends and having
them made Into a necklatjp or brace
let te be worn by the sufferer; and
hemorrhage and burns by the chant
ing of a strange prayer.
A seventh son, especially If he were
the seventh son of n seventh son, was
as much sought after in some par
ishes ns If he were a Harley street
specialist. Ills patients were attend
ed to on Sunday mornings, after fast

IT WORKS
The Lnborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.
Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
"I was for 12 years clerk In a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without, much trouble until
after I entered the telegraph service. J
"There I got very little exercise
and drinking strong coffee, my nerves
grew unsteady and my stomach got
weak and I was soon a very sick man.
I quit meat and tobacco, and. In fact,
I stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except coffee, .
hut still my condition grew worse and
I was all but a wreck.
"I finally quit coffee and com
menced to use Postura a few years
ago, nnd I am speaking the truth
when I say my condition commenced
to Improve immediately, and to-day I
am well and can eat anything I want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
"I told my wife to-day I believed I
could digest a brick If I had a cup ot
Postum to go with It.
"We make it according to direc
tions, boiling it full 20 minutes, and
use good rich cream, and It is certain
ly delicious."
