A clio but perhaps somewhat prejudiced
observer who has spent much time abroad
can scarcely comprehend why the eye,
which is of such vast Importance to the
women of nearly every other nation, is
merely an organ of sight to the English and
American woman. The latter, probably,
does more flir ting than the women Of every
other country put together, yet the eye, her
greatest, most effective, ami 10y far her
most adaptable charm, she can only exer-
clsp in the III Dst practical ami comm Onplace

1t is the custom OF many housekeepers To
use the water in which potatoes are boiled
for making bread, generally mashing some
of the potato also and putting into the

is contained in the potato, AMI is extracted
By treating the potato with aciiulated
water Hence the use of water in which
potatoes have been cooked is not ad visable.

A Dog Revolution.


One OF the clerks at the Win isor hotel re-
marked. as he ST pod at the main entrance
carele,sly toying with his mustache, that
the fashion in dogs had changed.
II usually stand here between IL and l2

enable the people to see that am still
about, and that | have an eve on the wei
fare of Fifth avenue. And | have observed
that the solemn young man with the red
Irish setter, who pre- revailei to such a large
extent last spring, has become thing of
the lifeless. Unconditional and unfas shionable
past He was wont a few months ago tO
drift by here in shoals, wearing a shovel
tail coat, and being Led by big. bronze
eyed Irish setter. His face wore no other
expression than that which comes from the
con.ciousnesS Of doing precisely the correct
thing. He walked solemnly and slowly.
This fall a radical change has come about
The proper thing in young men and dogs
now is cheerfulnesS and fox terriers. The
yonng man no longer looks sad. but he
passes the Irish setter coldly by. He wears
a snug sack suit, ami he bowls along briskly
with pipe or cigarette in his mouth AMI
two or three little Scoth terriers at his heels
Taken all in all, and balancing the question
carefully and thoroughly, l have come to

woman's Self Sacrifice.


Woman is naturally more buOyant and
optimistic than man. She will endure
more, hoping for good times yet Her
nature is more plant. elastic, upward look
ing. She has not only done more for thu
human race than man, she is determined to
do more. She is natural martyr. She
,eldom commit, suicide; she often dies for
Others. Altruism is stronger with her than
selfishneSs The consequence is that a
woman who does not care to hope or plan
for the future is a very devil She destroys
and sacrifices others for the slightest whims
or pleasures.
The future Of the race is far more de-
pendent on the creation of a noble race Of
mothers than on all other causes combined.
A state of society that deteriorates the
mothers tends inevitably to permanent de-
generacy In our high life which in re-
4lity is very low life. the @mother" is sacri-
feed; it is distracted as power; the in
,tinct Is de ,troyed; the devotion turned TO
selfishness.
