CLARA BELLIES FASHION LETTER-of special
interest to the ladies'.

the sink was an id-fashioned wooden
spout. When the hot lye was poured
down it combined with the grease adher-
ing to the spout and formed strings OF
soft soap at the outlet. This proves how
great must have been tho accumulation of
grease, and how Intellectual all agencies of
less strength would have been The aim
in this instance was toget rid of the often
siye smell, not thinking the evil had exist
ed to such an extent as to cause any all
ment 10 any member of the household
But IN four or five weeks it came to mind
that the girl had not a moments sickness
since and the lady fully believes that had
the poison continued it, work it would
have cost that girl her life, and there Is
no telling how many more fatalities The
plumber above mentioned rec .mmended
that the lye be used every few weeks
| would urge the great necessity for it
during the season of closed doors and
windows, when one is APT to shrink from
contact with the outside air.

How 10 Preserve Flowers.
Chamlers journal

A French journal says that flowers may
be preserved with all their natural bril-
liancy and freshness by dipping them IN
to mixture made as follows; In well.
corkod bottle dissolve six drAchms OF
coarseiy powdered clear gum coPal' add
the same quantity of broken glass, ana
fifteen and half ounces (by weight OF
pure recrifed sulphuric ether. The now
ers should be dipped into this yarnlsh-
like fluid four or ii 7e times, allowing them
to remain in a current of air for ten MN
utes between each immersion THIS plan'
if it does not interfere with the delicate
texture of the petals should be OF use to
flower painters, who often have tQ hurry
their work unduly because of the perisha
BILE nature of their models.

Az UNPLEASANT JOB.
Telegraph Line Repairers ucd the Dangers
They Are Exposed 10
Omahe World


"Were you ever struck by lightning ?"
said telegraph line repairer of friend
who stood at the bnse of the pole. When
negative ansaer was given the line
man continued: "Well, if you had ever
been a line repairer you would have been.
There are about thirty of US on both
sid.s of the river who have no other work
but stringing and repairing telegraph
wires. During this season of the year
we do little but keep up repairs on the
lines. | can assure you that it is not a
very pleasant job at times. We are Ina
BILE to be called out any day or night,
and when called are bound TO go or lose
our Job, As an example of the work or
weather, during tho recent heavy snow
storm the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy wreck at linden broke a tele-
graph pole. was ordered out at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon 10 repair the wires brok-
en- and string them on new pole. | got
to the place about o'clock, and in that
storm began the work. The broken pole
had stood near a little run of water, and
most Of the work had to be done stand
ing in it. 1 engaged country boy to
help me, and | thought he would be killed
! could see balls OF fire that looked as
large as my fist. Now you would sup
pose that those were only imaginary.
But that is an honest statement 1t was
sport to see the farmer boy. He would
pick up wire, and not knowing the
effect Of the electricity would catch hold
of it with both hands. Once he got
Knocked Fat down and had hard work
to get him to take hold of it again.
When we got the broken wires splced
the work OF stringing them had TO b
gone through with. The mere work of
climbing smooth telegraph pole IN
such wind and storm Is not the most
pleasant thing It is a strange but cold
fact that in high wind you have to
climb facing it, and even then it requires
some little work to hold on. A man soon
learns that part Of the work. The first
time he attempts to climb in storm he
will start up with his back 30 the wind.
If he succeeds in getting up at all he will
be facing the wind by the time he is at
the top. He will do well and may be called
good climber il he sticks to the pole
and is not dashed off when about halt way
up In that snow storm and with snow
covered lantern | worked at that linden
wreck until about 10 p. NJ, when had
the wires in such shape that they could
be used
amy one of us is liable to be called
out in any such storm, and such night
as | put in there is worth a whole months
salary, 1t Inay be that We loaf and have
an easy time, out such q treat as that
counteracts all the pleasure of the sum
mer days and short hours. 1 would pre-
fer some other work"

children at Table
Good Houseketp ping

From the time child is old enough to
,it at the table teach him the proper use
OF the knife, fork and the spoon. Never
allow child 10 lean upon the table:
habits such as that will accompany him
all through life. He should be taught TO
wait patiently until his eldest are served,
Ii is very important to carefully observe
these minor points BY proper training
in the beginning parents are saved an
noyance and modification in the future.
st this age children should be dieted as
carefully as when they we're infants. BY
this is not meant that their diet should
consist solely of the milk; by no means,
but do not fan iuto the error so widely
prevalent that children having obtained
their teeth arc capable of digesting all
mauaer of food. This is the chief cause
OF destruction of life in children between
3 and years of age. Their stomachs
being totally untitled for rich food they
are allowed to eat. Potatoes, meat, rice
oatmeal. brown bread, ripe fruit and as
much milk MS they can drink, is the prop
or diet for children of that age.

rIuthrr IIints About fbe Teoth.

Children should be trained from their
earliest years to clean their teeth regular
~, and TO rinse out their mouths after
every meal. he best dentifrice is char
coal powder. Besides cleaning the teeth
1t acts deodorizer, leaving the mouth
fresh and free from any foetid odoi.
There should be no undue indulgence
in sugar or "sweeties' sweet tooth
is uncommouly likely soon to be de
cayed TOOTH
Tartar OF the teeth is an earthly like
iucrustation deposited from the saliva.
If, through neglect, it has been allowed
TO collect around the roots of the teeth,
it should be carefully scraped off with
some ssarp instrument. 1t Is best to
seek q dentists aid in this matter. Some
people are so negligent as to allow such
a quantity to collect that a whole row of
teeth become firmly soldered together, so
that if one tooth requires removal, the
dentist finds great difficulty in singing
it out and extracting it only.
A decayed tooth, however painless,
which has sharp edge or which break
ing off. leaves a pointed stump behind
it, should be at once filed, as the irriga-
ton caused by the tongue rubbing upon
it is frequent origin Of that terrible
malady cancer.
