THE HOUSEHOLD.
Home Hints and Helps.

If camphor is applied to a burn 1t
will take out the fire almost imne
diately.
In preparing food for the sick the
first essential is fresh and suitable
material, next strenuous cleanliness,
through cooking and daintiness OF
serving.
Windows in the sleeping apart.
ments should be open top and bot
tom to secure a proper ventilation
of the room. When there is an open
fireplace in the room, it is sufficient
to open the windows only at the top.
A delicious Spanish Sweet suitable
for luncheon is made in this way:
Powder an ordinary-sized cocoanut
quite fine, add the white of an egg
beaten stiff, some sifted loaf sugar,
and few drops of rosemary. Make
it into tiny cakes, and set it in an
oven until crisp on the outside.
For a Rusty Stove, cover the stove
with good coating of lard, well
rubbed on. Let this stand for a day,
and then cover it with finely-powdered
lime, unslacked, rubbing it well into
the grease with a bit of newspaper.
The oil and the rust should all come
off together, when you can apply
good coat of stove polish.
Coaco butter has long been used by
Spanish creole women to nourish and
soften the skin and prevent sunburn.
Apple pomade is said to whiten the
skin. Oil of white poppy seed, and OF
the four cold seeds, each gill, with
an ounce of spermaceti made into
pomade, is applied to ward of
wrinkles.
Velvet Bears the honor of prefer
ence this year, being in far greater
vogue than plush. The latter fabric
though it is not considered best
style, will, however, be quite extern
sively worn, for the reason that the
very moderate sum asked for the
finest grades of plush will this season
bring it within the limits of the aver
age purse.
Black is still much used for evening

a ruching at the foot. Over this falls
full skirt of black net of silky nat
ure covered with large polka dots.
At the back is q sash piece of black
velvet, put on like panels. The low,
necked bodice is also of black velvet,
finished with a drapery of the net.
A correspondent sends a scientific
paper recipe for sure death to But
falo moths, as follows: Take strips
of red or blue flannel, as these colors
are particularly attractive to them,
dip in liquid arsenic and lay around
the edges of carpets or wherever the
pests are troublesome. They will
soon eat q desired amount and col
lapse, to the entire satisfaction Of the
housewife, without the least injury to
her carpets.
A STOPPING position, maintained
for any length Of time, tends more
to undermine the health than is sup
posed. Anerect position should be
observed, whether sitting, standing
or lying. To sit with the body lean
ing forward on the stomach or to
one side. with the heels elevated on a
level with the hands, is not only a
bad taste, but exceedingly detri
mental to health; it cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs,
interrupts the free motion of the
chest and enfeebles the functions of
the abdominal and thoracic organs,
and, in fact, unbalances the whole
muscular system.-Household.

Lo m n Wood Worker.

Carpentry was the trade Of the Ameri-
builders. MI. H. F. Mcleod, of the
tent poles of the Sioux Indians even
now show pretty specimens of work,
and the Moqui Indians, since long be-
fore the landing of Columbus, have
known how to mortise timber, to make
ladders, and to swing doors on hinges
from the top. The chisel they push
rather than hammer, and they work the
board up and down on fixed saw, but
the results are creditable. The Aztecs
made good glass, which they used for
their best cutting blades, swords, dag
gers, spears, saws, chisels and axes.
They sharpened these by cleaving of
the dull edge.

HER LIFE.

She lived and labored midst the lowest things.
Walked at my side and talked, and oft did
fill
The gracious hours that friendly twilight
brings
With toll, naught questioning ifgood or
i'll
Were hers; soft lullabies she crooned at eve.
Like poppies' breath falling down tenderly
On infant eyelids that gay sports would leave
To nestle close and sleep upon her knee,
Her life has collorless and commonplace,
Devoid OF poetry-l thought it so,
For was blind, and could not see the grace
That grew through common duties, now
know,
since she is gone from me and all her cares,
Entertained an angel unawaIes.

Childish Logic.

A noted Sunday school worker living
in Kansas was once asked to talk to the
children of a Sunday school on the sub
ject of temperance. He is very earnest
in the cause, and wears bit of blue rib
bon as a badge of his principles. Ris-
ing before the school he pointed to his
bit of blue ribbon, and said: 'tNow,
can any of you children give me the
reason why I am not a drunkard?''
There was no reply for moment, then
a childish voice in the rear of the room
piped out: ''Cause this is prohibition

Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams
OF a long procession OF lovely women OF
ages past. This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world a
greater service il ho had only told the wo.
men OF the present how they could i'm
prove their health and enhance their
charms. This he might easily have done
by recommending the use Of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescripti IN. Health is the best
friend OF beauty, and the innumersbls ills
to which women are peculiarly subject, its
worst enemies. Long experience has proven
that the health OF womankind and the
"Favorits Prescription" walk hand IN
hand, and are inseparable. 1t is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists, un,
der positive guarantee from the manu-.
facturers, that it will give satisfaction in
every case, or money will be refunded.
This guarantee has been printed on the
bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out
for many years.

The Greenland Expedition.

DR.. Nansen, the Danish explorer, and
five companions, have succeeded in
their attempt to cross Greenland, but
the scientific results of the trip cannot
yet be told. The party left their vessel
in latitude 65 degrees on July II, with
the east coast in sight, but were twelve
days reaching land over the pack ice.
They crossed the narrow part of Green
land, far south of Nordenskjold's at-
tempted route, and reached Godthaab
October 4, where, being too late for the
last ship, they will remain until spring.

A FRIENDLY rivalry mas ever existed be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma. At times this
rivalry has been sharp and spirited, al
most bordering upon actual enmity. The
test displays the fact that no rivalry OF
this kind Is of any consequence in the
pressure of an emergency like that 10y
which Seattle was confronted on last
Thursday. While the conduct OF Tacoma
on this trying occasion was not different
from what might have been expected from
Seattle bad the situation been reversed,
it nevertheless does credit to the City OF
Destiny and to the great commonwealth OF
which they are each conspicuous part.
The people of Washington now have cause

just befallen the city of Seattle before us.
1t behooyes the city fathers to be looking

hoods the water supply is as uncertain as
though we had none. At the head of
Howard street there are days at a tune
when water can be obtained only from

a place the property there would be at the
mercy of the flames. Tfis custom OF hav.

there should be some steps to control it, or
we, also. may have a costly experience.
