Hints for Those Who Travel.

The journey being over and the first resting
place reached, comes the unpaching. Now
it will be seen if brains have been used in
filling the trunks and all possible contin-
gencies foreseen. We win hope 50, and that
the tired traveller will find all she needs with
out diving to the bottom of even one trunk.
Now the housekeeping talent will come into
play; everything that is left out Of the trunk
for future use will be put as nearly as possible
in tho same position in the strange room that
it would occupy in the familiar bed chamber
at home If handkerchiefs are usually kept
in the left hand corner of tho upper bureau
drawer, in they go in the same place in the
hotel bureau. Thus no time is lost in looking
for things; we know by instinct where to go
to find everything, and our tired heads are
saved worry and trouble. But one caution
on leaving the temporary resting place:
Don't rely on feeling sure" that a certain
drawer or closet has not been opened If the
owner put nothing in there, perhaps the
chambermaid did, and there is no thought so
comforting, when seated in the train again,
as to reflect that every spot has been ex-
amined before the room was left and that
nothing remains behind. Marie Goz2aldi in
Good Housekeeping.

English Servant Girls Faults.

The modern servant girl does not know

can really fit girl for domestic service.
In a large institution girl learns nothing Oh

and maids were, for wonder, unsnllnous IN

the cause "Oh, she has left; said the work
was too hard"
Never, never again will take girl from
one of those institutions. The girls are good,
well trained in manners and mind, anything

and, inserting his finger into ths bag, brought
to light another mystery. 1t was a rabbit

as to be barely recognizable. Next to the

OF more than ordinary skill in
the profession, he has u heart full
of sympathy that at once gives en-
couragement to his patient, who
knows that DR.. France will cure
him if it is within the possibility of
human skill to do so. He makes a
speciality of chronic diseases, and
from many years of experience is
able to successfully diagnose case
without asking questions, which
seems wonderful to patients and
even to physicians who have not
the faculty themselves. Thousands
of people throughout Ohio and
