 To a mother, mortified at sight of the dlngi- est stew pan in the cupboard, brought by her young hopeful into the rarlor, where sa' dlstlngu1shed caller. was suggested the ldea Of buying cheap, new tinware just for the chlldren's play house. Bright new tin pals nlled With the smallest potatoes or apples from the cellar bin are sure to please Could the baby hurt himself with an egg beater to Whlrl about? A ten cent one would answer. Mrs. Gilmore allows her little folks to play with the large dripping pans. With a worsted horsellne tied to one handle, the be- loved dollies are given a fine sleigh ride. Whenever a neighbor of ours bakes a batch of ginger cookies, her boy and girl hunt up their wooden rolling pins. Each is provided with flat board and a wad of the dough. which is frequently dropped on the floor and stepped on before it is placed in tiny seal loped pans into the oven. This indulgence is granted only on days just before the scrub ping is done.

Courtesy in the Home Circle.

If the head of the family-its ruler-speaks unkindly, it is because the bonds that bind them together are his safeguard. There is q sense of security from exposure in family pride, in part, but stronger than all else is the knowledge of the wonanly love that seeks to hide all errors. The wife or daugh- ter, and sometimes sister, are often spoken to by tho gentleman" of the house as he would not dare to speak to any other woman, how ever insignificant. But more particularly is this brute sense of ownership manifested to his wife. A brother finds no particular pleasure in talking sharply or domineering Qver his sister. He is we'll aware she may re- sent it, and retort even more sharply than he addressed her. For a daughter, father, unless lost to all sense of shame, has usually | peculiar tenderness by which she escapes much of the oppression that other members )f the family are exposed to- The restraints >f society often prove a stronger protection Q the wife from her husbands irritability nd unjust censures than his professed affec-
 :on for her. And more's the pity! It is often the case that polite, deferential ctten- ions will be more frequently preferred ivy ,entlemen outside the family circle than from .er husband. Do any need to be told where into this tendss The daily papers are full of vhat may follow.
 But cruel, unnatural and mean as this is,
 is not always confined to the masculine in
 le household. We wish we could prove lat lady never ''answers back" when '.rc-
 lied, revileth not again. never returns rail lg for railing, a sharp retort for a bitter word, or meets dscourtesy with equal neglect .and indifference. We blush to acknowledge
 hat the wife is perhaps as often responsible or tho beginning of evil in this respect as
 fer husband. Public opinion has as strong lold on her as on Q Inan-even stronger, as woman has more of that kind of pride which holds her back from the open exhibition of 5he irritation that is driving her almost furious, than 0 man. She will not allow the public gossips to hold her up to the gaze of She world if self-rcstraint is possible.
 But all the courtesy and suitability, the Reference and respectful attention exhibited il public or to friends outside, are worthless to man or woman if the same arc not moro earnestly extended to each in the sacred pre- cincts of home. Love tbat shines in the most kindly acts, respectful attention, quick to sec what may be needed or gratifying the most perfect courtesy at home or nowhere. All that is found outside should be but the overflow of that which is unchanging and perpetual in the charmed circle of home There is where we must seek for tho true lady and gentleman. If not fully developed and sacredly maintained there, but promi- nently exhibited elsewhere, the sentiment is spurious-a counterfeit Tender as may be the exhibition of that spirit which is the spark from Gods altar that kindles tho home fire, fond and loving, and caressing as may be its revelation, it never degenerates into that overfamiliarity that is the bane to the best and noblest emotions. Henry Ward Beecher in New York Star.

Treatment of Ingrowing Nails.


 A very common and troublesome affection is that which is popularly termed ''the in- growth of the nails," and which most usually occurs by the side of the great toe There is really no alteration in the nail, as its name would imply; the surrounding soft parts are first swelled and in1lamed by constant press ure against the edge of the nail from the use of tight shoes. If this state is permitted to continue, an ulcer is formed in which the edge of the nail is imbedded. Pain is the consequence, sufficiently severe in some in- stances to prevent walking.
 Treatment for this condition often demands the skill of physician. The sufferer might attempt a cure by the simpler methods, and if they fail, professional assistance should be sought. The first object is to remove the cause, then to lessen the irritation and reduce the swelling After soaking in hot water tho nail should be thinned by scrapng, and, if very painful flaxseed poultice will bring relief. After the irritation has sufficiently subsided, soft cotton should be pressed be- tween the flesh and the nail, and after that is done, it should be saturated with the tincture of iodine, and the application repeated sev- eral days, after which the tenderness will disappear. It may be necessary to lift the end of the nail, and this can be done by press ing cotton between it and the toe. This treatment is usually effective, and is attended with as little pain as any which can be sug- gested.-Boston Journal of Health.

Hints Concerning Etiouette.

"For reasons which must be perfectly ob- vious," Aunt Ruth continues, ''introductions to young women ought to be made with great caution, He who introduces q young man should first know his character and habits to be irreproachable; if there is mis- sionary work to be done let it be by those having moro judgment and experience than girl of 1S If an undesirable acquaintance persists in calling, not at home' is the proper message to send him-she is not at home to him, and to call this form falsehood, is prudish. It might be preferable to send word that she was engaged, which would be the sarlc thing. Not to recognize him upon the street would bo the cut direct and can be necessary only in extreme cases. To fail to return call where there is no family affiic- tion and no explanation offered, is sufficient to show to a lady that the acquaintance is to drop, and is not often misunderstood. On this subject en English writer has well said: This etiquette, which may appear trivial and over punctilious, is in reality power which society places in tho hands of ladies to govern and determine their acquaintance ship and their intimacies, to regulate and de- eide whom they will admit into their friend ship, and whom they will keep on tho most distant footing. As such it is to be con- mended.' It is a dissipation to have too long VlSlUfn5 lISC, VIC cannot knOW every one intimately and must make our selection ac- cording to taste and natural affinity.
 "However much custom differs in different places, it is usual to call only between the hours of s and 6. Formal calls need not last longer than fifteen minutes; the more social should not be extended until the caller becomes bore. You remember Mrs. Brown whom used to dread to see. Often mak- ing her appearance before ;lnch, and gener. ally on those days when your mother was making a carpet or hanging some curtains or when there was only enough left over to go round, she stayed till night If she came after lunch and Mrs. Strong or Miss Granger appeared, Mrs. Brown was sure to monopo- uze the conversation and to out stay them. Tho genus bore is ubiquitous and there will be tho usual number among your neishbols. Your way is not to let them get a foothold
 keep oil your dignity till you have made voul selection of friends and unbend only to them, Half the world of women overrun the othe, half heedlcssly or out of want of that menta1 culture which would give them interest aps occupation, Vaeuity is the parent of heed lessness as well as vice. n-Hester M. Poole in Good Housekeeping.

Tho Quiet Style the Best.

The quiet girl never wears high oolors on tho street. You do not sec her Haunting in brilliant plaids when they happen to be the style. When high hats are ''in," she doc, not pile hers so high that it sweeps tho cob webs from tho sky. Sho does not wear ar exaggerated bang when tho bang is in vogue, nor the biggest hustle in town, nor the long est train to her tea gown, nor the greatest number of bangles when bangles reign. But because she does not chatter and giggle and make herself conspicuous in horso cars or al
 matinees, does not anno,.i.ce her convictions on all occasions and all subjects and profess her admiration at every turn, it must not bc supposed that she has no ideas, convictions or
 enthusiasms; that she moves along like a star in the heavens, which obeys the laws of gray itation without selecting its course or object ing to it's orbit. It is the quiet girl who makes the best match, who fills the niches
 which her more brilliant sisters leave va cant, who manages the servants, runs the sewing machine, remembers the birthdays, listens to the "reminiscences of the old and often keeps the wolf from the door.-Easton Argus.

 She declares that since then she has sceased to be a denizen of Gods beautiful outdoors. and has remained in her cage-the house. right through all the years because her high heels threw her out of poise. and the clinging folds of her long tailed gown bothered her" j" She says that ''I say to myself so often, If could only put on a hat, button coat around me and step out freely, how delightful that would be- But no; there are intricate pre- liminaries of changing slippers for boots and a wrapper for walking gown before a woman can do so simple thing as go for O constitutional"

Children's Teeth.

Most children will enjoy brushing thei own teeth. Just hero let us offer a word o advice.

Let tho Bumped Child Sleep.

It is general idea tkat if child hss a fall, striking Its head, and shows tendency to sleep thereafter, every effort must be made to keep it awake. Now, according to one of our best physicians, this theory is o mistaken one, and much harm is done in try ing to prevent sleep. Rest is what the brain of the sufferer wants more than anything else, and, if not allowed, what might have passed off in a few hours may result in in- flammation and terminate in death. Do not feel frightened, mothers, if your boy rolls down stairs, bumps his head with force, and then shows a disposition to sleep; lay him o,l the bed, loosen his clothes, and apply thin cloths wet with witch hazel or water to his head. Keep his feet and limbs warm with irons, or bottles filled with hot water. Darken the room, and keep it as quiet as pos sible, and when the doctor comes nature will have aided him in his treatment by her ''sweet restorer," sleep.-New Orleans Plea Vune.
