To Make Match Scratchers.

japanese figures are always ornamental
one way Is to make match scratchers out OF
them. Cut out card board the shape of "a
full dressed Japanese figure; paint the face
and hands and the eyerlastingy accompany
ing fan; then paint bright strips and orna
ments along the edges of the gown, leaving
tho whole OF one unornaInented side to be-
coated with thick q 10 or varnish, over which
sprinkle white sand. Ii the face, hands, fan
and ornaments are all allowed to dry thor
oughly tho figure, which has just been coated
all over the plain places with varnish or glue,
can be laid face downward in n box of sand,
30 that it will adhere more evenly to the sur
face.
Talking of match scratchers, have made
number of original ones out of sand paper.
They save the wall and are quite ornamental
One of the simplest is a sheet of the sand pa
per painted to represent an old mill with II
'torIn coming up over far away hills. In
laiuting these use an old worthless bristle
rush, rs the grit of the hard sand soon
years 1t out. l use either oil or water colurs,
.,referring the former well weakened with
turpentine to make it flow easily. Another
iesign is u desert scene, with camels drinking
from IA stone trough under u group OF palms.
Away in the distance the pyramids are seen,
giving it a truly Egyptian appearance. The
yater trough is box fastened to one-half
the bottom of the sheet of sand paper and the
'amels' heads reach down into it, apparently
Another design il of a girl carrying an UNI
orella -painted--with half a market basket
in relief, this is to hold the matches. There
Is IL street scene with corner and lamp post,
md the more one scratches the sand paper
The more the picture looks us If the rain were
really coming down, for every time match
ID lighted it leaves long streak across the
picture.
a design Of a fat old lady selling melons in
market is cute one. In front of her is a
! half of big basket-like round bushel
basket--while all around her lie big green

Most people who are fortunate enough to
~ the possessors Of oil paintings know that
they should never be hung in a strong Light,
tor II SO hung they soon take on faded,
washed out appearance; but perhaps these
,amo people do not know that Chr, mos suffer
IA the same way If exposed for any length of
limo in strong light. The word chrome
has an uninviting sound, being associated
With the advertising card; yet there are many
very fine chromos that even the most artistic
would not be ashamed to hang up in their
homes. The art of chrome making has
reached SO near perfection in tho last few
years that many OF the finer grades of
;hromos are much more preferable to tho in
tericr grades OF oil paintings.
Very often in pictures such as Autographs,
steel engravings or any of those that have
glass over their faces, dust is observed be
tween the glass ana picture, making an ugly
tuark on the face or margin of the paper
This is caused by tho back of the picture not
being covered properly, and owing to knot
holo III the boards or the crevices between the
boards the dust works its way in. As IAN
ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure" it is we'll to see, before the picture is
put in place, that the back is covered prop
erly, Get some smooth wrapping paper, or
lacking that, newspaper, and some paste,
gum arabic or thin liquid glue. Cut the
paper large enough to cover the whole back
of the picture and extend to within an inch
or less according to tho size of the picture,
IA small picture will not require as much
margin as a large onel of the outside edge on
tho back of the frame all around. Paste il
hrmly all around the edges and there will
be no dust on tho inside of that picture while
the paper remains whole.-Bostou Budget

Women Who Are Not Jealous

There are two types of women who are
never susceptible to jealousy. One is the per-
fectly humble being, utterly devoid of iudi-
viduality, who lives in a state of wondering
anlazement that sho should be the recipient
Of her lovers least regard. She is grateful
for smile and overwhelmed at word of
praise. She finds greater joy i'll loving than
in being loved, and is a faint echo of the mas
culine mind in all her opinions and ideas.
She is willing to be the mat beneath his feet,
~ eat the crumbs which fall from his table,
to do his most mental labor. She has the
nature Of a serf, the devotion of dog, and
II he neglects her for other women las be
usually does) she never complains, as in his
will she finds her only pleasure. Her nature
1. mild, patient and constant and devoid OF
passion and intensity.
The other type of women who knows nc
jealousy is quite her opposite. She is a radi-
anti, happy creature. hull Of self confidence,
.-:sla, And Satisfaction. She is pleased
with life and with herself She loves deeply,
and demands as much as she gives. She ex-
poets to be told every day that she is the most
adorable woman on earth, and she is sure to
convince man Of the fact. 1t never enters
her happy head that another woman could
be as charming as herself, or that she could
be displaced in the affections of any man she
loves. She is a woman who has been accus-
toned TO love and admiration all her life,
and she knows how to keep her lover inter-
ested and amused She is sure that he finds
other women dull in comparison with herself,
and she lends him freely to her friends, GER
tain that he will return gladly to her. The
majority of the women who lead a monoto-
nous existence live in their imaginations and

In the training of children, subject upon
which | have been asked by many to write,
cannot suggest anything better than that
mothers should teach their children TO DC
useful, and begin the lessons early-from the
first step out of babyhood. Parents would
more readily accept this suggestion II they
would give it an honest examination. IN
fortunately except among the poor, whose
poverty compels them to practice IL, THIS Is
doctrine that receives of late but little atten-
ton and is in great danger of becoming Oh
solete. Mothers-who must be chiefly re-
sponsible-scout at the idea. the excuse Is
advanced that usefulness with girls Is posi-
bic, but that to teach boys to be OF service Is
an absurd and hopeless task. 1t is said that
BOYS are troublesome, restless and awkward,
and more given over TO mischief and play
than work. We are asked: "Would you
have us teach boys, as they grow older, to
run on errands, up stairs and down, at the
risk of overturning everything with which
they come in contact Would you try to
teach them how TO dust room, to help set
the table, ETC.
Certainly Why not' Is any mother will
ing to believe that she cannot teach to boys
what can be taught to girlsi Surely, each
one, boy or girl, can be very early taught to
b. useful, and can be so gently and skillfully
guided that they will find it all las good as
play to be able to help their mother and
Others indoors aud out, and with such teach
ing they learn to help themselves.-M

Young girls of the present day completely
destroy their hair by crimping it with irons
and twisting it up tightly with thick, hard
hairpins. This treatment may make the
hair look pretty for the time being, but no
thought is given as to the ultimate result
and the appearance it will present few
years hence. The hair should be well brushed
every night and morning with a moderately
hard brush-brushes made with short, I'M
bleached bristles are the best-and on retir-
ing to rest the hair should be drawn back
lightly over the ears plated in one long
plalt, and allowed to hang down the back; it
should not be fastened up with hair pins, nor
should any cap or covering be worn on the
head. This method makes the hair bright
and glossy, without the aid of oils or pomades,
which are best avoided. The fewer hair pins
and ties used ir dressing the hair the better
and twisted hair pins are injurious. 1t is not
well to continue the same style of dressing
the hair for too long perion, as that is apt
to make it thin in some places; a little change
is relief to the head and otherwise advis-
able Cutting the hair occasionally is neces-
sary, and should not be neglected.

Dramatic Career of Women.

Many young ladies ask my advice concern
ing dramatic career for themselves. The
play is great factor in the amusement low
ing world We must be entertained, and
time flies, young actors grow old, old ones
die, and the ranks needs must be filed. 1t is
a worthy profession, when worthy natures
adorn it. But it is hard life at its easiest
and best In dramatic career more than
any other woman should feel tho impelling
force of great talent or the extreme COM
mand of necessity before she enters upon it,
AS a rule it calls for the sacrifice of all
domestic comfort the outlay of every particle
of brain and body power, and demands I'M
remtting drudgery for years before the re-
wards are obtained. After the rewards do
come the labor of study and rehearsal and
constant appearances taxes all the vitality of
a strong woman and allows no time for home
life, The pretty young girl who dreams only
of glory and riches needs to weigh all these
considerations calmly before she ventures
upon this most arduous and uncertain of
careers.
So many and great are the obstacles in the
way of success in literature or on tho stage, |
can but wonder at the persstency of girls
and women who, without ability or reason,
stand before the locked doors of these pro-
fessions and beg their older sisters who have
found an entrance for themselves to let them
in.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox in New York

How to Select IL Wife.

In the first place. see the girl you intend to
honor rs early in the morning as possible
and note whether she is fresh and tidy or
limp and frowzy.
Watch how she treats her pets-her dog,
her canary, her little sisters
Discover what she eats and drinks. and
make yourself certain whether she bathes or
uses perfumery.
Remember if she makes habit of walking
or driving.
Inform yourself whether she dotes upon
Owen Meredith and Henry James, or reads
Longfellow and Fenimore Cooper
Go to church with her and see if she cares
more for the preacher than for the Gospel.
Make sly study Of her anatomy when you
got a chance. Walk her up Murray hill as
Us fast as you can, and dance a whole waltz
through with her, and mark if she allows
herself breathing room and wears tight
slippers.
Familiarize yourself with her fathers af-
fairs and her mothers temper; and then, nv
boy, when you've found girl who is neat,
trim, true, healthy, wealthy and wise, sail in
and win her,-"rattler" in New York Star,

Sun Flower Remedy.

The seed of the common sun flower Is the
best remedy for whooping cough that have
ever known. Brown the seeds slightly, like
coffee, then grind and steep; when sufficiently
stepped drain clear of the dregs and sweeten
with rock candy or lump sugar. Let the
little ones drink freely of it at intervals
throughout the day, and especially before re-
uring at night. In all ordinary cases, where
children are properly cared for and kept in
IN BAD weather, no other medicine will be re-
CURED, It also has very loosening effect on
a hard, tight cough, and thus it seems that
even the despised sun flower is good for
something. To any who are inclined to be
skeptical L would say, please try it before
you condemn. l consider it SO excellent a
remedy that last summer devoted con-
siderable portion of my summer garden to
the raising of sun flowers that might gather
the seeds for medical purposes Mrs j. j.

A Boys Early Training,

believe that from the outset of child's
career the appeal should be constantly made
to bis manhood. 1t may be true that we in
merit large heredity of the brutal sort; but
there is also in every one, or in most, a large
heredlty of the noble and good All the
progress of the ages has not gone for nothing.
II Is IN our blood. 1t can be felt as instinct.
IL can be appealed to and used as fulcrum
70 move the boy to generous deeds. l do
not believe in appeals to boys avarice and
greed, whether it be in the way of apple tarts
OF paradise Nor do believe in appeals to
his fear, whether in the way of rawhides or
eternal bonfires. But from the beginning
and continuously, let us call out the noble
and make the mean a source of modification
Our young men at IL would then go out of
the family with courage of convictions, and
an adherence for selfishness. M. Maurice,
