Mothers Should Remember.

That the abdominal cavity is packed
with its organs; that the liver alone ex-
tends two-thirds across it, and that tight
lacing deeply burrows the liver, sometimes
cutting it in two thin membrane alone
connecting the parts; that the full stomach
is thus often pushed up against weakened
heart, and the pelvic organs are so crowded
as to produce serious and permanent ill
effects.
That the lack of vitality in many chill
dren, by which they are rendered peculiar
ly susceptible to infectious diseases, is Cue
to deficiency of pure air in their sleeping
rooms.
That child's brain is not in condition
for study before its seventh year, and that
when child is precocious there is special
reason for holding it back if it is to be
saved from brain disease, future dullness,
or possible imbecility.
That no growing child should fail to have
at least nine or ten hours sleep in well
ventilated room, and that no sleep is per-
feet with light in the room.
That children under II should not be al
lowed the excitements of evening parties.
That children, from the earliest prac-
ticable age, should be trained to habits of
self control in all directions.
That every mother ought to make it a
prime object to secure and maintain the
fullest confidence of her children and her
normal influence over them.-Youth g

A Useful Sweeping Apron.

I saw a few days since a new idea for a
sweeping or dusting apron. 1t was made
of unbleached muslin. There was a hem
down each side to about eighteen inches
from the top, fastened on the upper edge
with brier stitch of yellow silk. Each
lower corner of the apron was turned over
at right angles, meeting in the center. The
hem around these corners was finished
with the silk brier stitching also. The
point In the center at the bottom was
turned up and secured with the stitching.
Each corner was divided into two pockets
by perpendicular rows of stitching. Across
the top there was q hem an inch and half
in width and through this yellow satin
ribbon was passed with long ends for
strings. One can imagine the comfort and
saving of time by finding the soft dust
cloth and pair of old gloves always in place
in one of the pockets.

Women Live Longer Than Men

Despite the intellectual and physical
strength of man the woman endures
longer and bears pain to which the strong
man succumbs. Physicians tell us that
zymotic diseases are more fatal to males,
and the records of our health departments
prove that more male children die than fe-
male. The proportion dying suddenly is
about 100 women to 700 men. In our large
cities pulmonary consumption takes of
many women, while the diseases fatal to
the males are apoplexy, intemperance, af-
fection of the heart or liver, scrofula, gout,
paralysis and hydrocephalus.
Again there is an excess of more than
per cent. of females in the various popula-
tions, though there are from Q to per
cent. more males born than females. In
Connecticut many women have lived to be
over 100 years old, while scores at the age
of 80 are found in every town in the state.
In the state of New York the average life
of q woman appears to be As years. In
Maine the males outlive the females

HOW to Lace a Corset.

IF lace you must" said handsome and
smart actress to me, "use three sets of
laces in your corsets, one starting at the
top and ending two or three holes above
the waist line of the corsets, to tie there;
the second starting at the lower edge of the
corsets, extending up to two or three holes
below the waist line of the corsets, to tie
there; the third lacing the space left be-
tween and tying just at the waist line
Then reducing the size of your waist-that
is, pulling the middle cord-isn't going to
drag you into straight line above and be-
low the waist. Also you will wear your
COrsets, even though tight, with more COM
fort.
There is a place-isn't there, dear doc
tors?-just about at the waist line, that
think God must have left knowing that
we would lace, kill or no kill, where pres
sure can come without tying our necessary
and Indispensable viscera into hard knots.
By the suggested arrangement of cords we
can reduce the size of the waist with less
violent offense to heart and lungs and also
without sacrificing entirely harmony of
outline. Just make beauty and hygiene
clasp hands practically - every woman
knows what 1 mean by practically-and
we will rejoice more than the doctors
'Ohl Right here 1 might as well suggest
elastic cord for the upper and lower strings;
and even for the one at the waist if you
dare. You will thereby gain suppleness
in movement and pose which is worth
striving for, but which we cannot all of us
take off our stays to obtain, as does the
serpentine Sarah. Elastic corset lacings,
as l suggest, will at least prevent our look
ing as if we were padlocked into board
fence when we recline in an easy chair
say like Langtry with cigarette in one of
her AS in Looking Glass pictures. y

How to Prepare Flv Paper.

Almost any sticky substance spread upon
paper will answer for catching flies, but if
you have soft spot in your heart and do

and add about one ounce to each pound
weight of yellow tersulphide of arsenic

Another fly paper is made by boiling one

A Girls Happiest Hour.

Did you ever see a girl or, what is bet
ter, woman old enough to know what
love means, preparing for her lover after a
long absences
Her first thought as she wakens is: This
is the day he will comel And in a moment
she is out of bed, and scanning the heavens
more anxiousiy than a sailors wife. If
fine she rejoices because the day is in har-
mony with her mood; if stormy she Sc
renely defies the weather, and tells herself
that so brave and so ardent a lover as hers
would go through fire and water and
tornado and earthquake rather than fail
of an appointment.
She dresses from the skin and with a
tender and scrupulous care, although COM
mon sense would tell her that only the
outer garb could possibly be known or
appreciated. She puts her hair a trife
lower or trifle higher than usual; she
feels that never. never did it curl so badly
or wave so stifly, and she would really be
provoked, but-he is coming.
And the dainty stockings, and the choice
among the dainty boots, and the frilled
skirts, and at last the pretty gown, and the
laces and the ornaments, and the rose in
the bosom or the little bunch of violets up
on the corsagel And then the room where
she will receive himl How she touches
the draperies into new folds, picks a with
cred leaf or two from the flower vases,
moves a chair, little table and easel,
bit of drapery that everything may do its
best to honor the place where he will pres
emily shine as the center of all. And how
anxiously the shades and the curtains are
lowered and draped to just the becoming
light, until finally he rings at the door,
she takes one last furtive glance at herself
and her surroundings, and then-the door
opens, she has the top brick of the chimney,
and the happiest hour of life is over!-Mrs.

ING THE CARE OF THE HAIR.

A Girls Happiest Hour-Recipe for
Laundrying Shirts-The Bloom the
Cheek of Observation-Disclosures Should
Remember-How to Lace a Corset.
The hair is the covering of the roof of
''the home of thought and palace of the
soul" Where badness, which sometimes
occurs in quite young persons, is hereditary
it is doubtful if anything can be done to
prevent or remedy it. Avoid ''restoratives"
and other nostrums, and, as rule, do not
use pomatums or oils upon the head. The
thorough use of moderately stiff brush
will greatly promote the health of the
scalp and prevent the falling of the hair
without other application. The hair should
be occasionally washed, and If there is
much dandruff the yolk of an egg will be
most efficient in removing it. Work the
egg with the fingers we'll into the hair, a
little at a time, to bring it in contact with
the scalp; then wash it out thoroughly
with water, and the hair will be beautifully
clean and soft.
Avoid all shampooing liquids; those used
by BARRIERS are strong potash solutions.
They call it "Salts of Wormwood" and
''Salts of Tartar" and use it without
knowing its real nature. 1t is very effective
in cleaning, but ruinous to the hair. If the
falling of the hair is not prevented by
thorough brushing some stimulating ap-
plication may be made. Half an ounce Of
the tincture of cantharides added to quart
of bay rum will answer better than most
chair tonics." But the mode of dressing
the hair must be controlled almost entire
ly by the fashion.
It will be considered by many of our
lady readers necessity to dress the hair
in the fashion of the moment, but we
should endeavor to counteract, by careful
treatment, any injurious effects, such as
overheating Of the scalp, which produces
dandruff, irritation and possible badness.
Whatever style is adopted during the day
and evening the hair should be given the
utmost freedom during the night. All
cannot employ artists to direct the efforts
of the hair dressing maid, but every one
can see to it that simplicity and an appro-
pirate ensemble are presented. Nothing is
more unseemly than to see noble, digni-
fed face marred and it's true beauty de-
stroyed by some coquettish or frivolous
arrangement of the hair wholly out of
keeping with the general bearing of the
wearer.-Hall's Journal of Health

Old Tin in Paris,

In Paris the thousands of sardine and
other tin boxes that are thrown away every
month form the basis for an industry
which has reached vast proportions, and in
which the entire youth of the country are
interested. These refuse cans are stamped
into tin soldiers by suitable machines, and
sold SO cheaply that the poorest children
can possess them; yet the manufacturer
makes fair profit, which he could not dc
if he used new material.--Chatter.

Recipe for Laundrying Shirts.


A laundress of wide experience writes
that the doing of that most difficult thing
of all in laundry work-the doing up shirt
bosoms-may be made highly successful by
observing the following procedure: Enough
cold starch to last several months may be
made of one ounce of white laundry wax,
two ounces of borax, one teacupful of water
and three teacupfuls of starch. The borax
and wax are dissolved in water, sufficiently
heated for the purpose, but not hot enough
to scald the starch; into this mix the pull
verized starch after passing it through
-four sieve. In using take teaspoonful of
this prepared starch and dissolve in water
that is not cold enough to prevent the wax
from softening. The hot starch Is made,
not very thick, and a teaspoonful is allowed
to shirt bosom, the hotter the liquid is
the better.
Apply tablespoonful at time, rubbing
in well before putting on more, and after
the right side will take up no more apply
TO the under side. Unless the starch is
well rubbed in the iron will stick and
specks and blisters will appear The hot
starching is done first, the bosom is al
lowed to dry and then the cold starching is
done by dipping the bosom in the liquid,
wringing out and rubbing slightly. After
an hour or SO iron. first rubbing the bosom
carefully with cloth wrung out in hot
water to equalize the starch on the surface.
"A thin cloth is to be laid over the bosom
the first time the iron is passed over it.
When this is removed dampen the surface
of the bosom little and finally iron care
fully until the finish is satisfactory. Let
the outside cover of the ironing board be
wooden cloth and the bosom will not stick
to it,
The Bloom on the Cheek of Maidenhood.
There is an indescribable expression in
the eye-every fine observer knows it
which distinguishes a modest girl from a
ruatron. Look for it in the eyes of our
girls today. 1t is missing so often; it is
replaced by another so unwelcome SO
worldly wise, so unpleasantly experienced
that we shrink with sense of having lost
the most precious thing in girlhood. 1t is
not our purpose to prove here that the lax
theatrical view of life is largely responsible
for this, but only to ask, by the way, how
far it may be responsible. Better, like the
Puritan lady, to shut the eyes when the
ballet comes. Better simple, serious, un-
worldly ignorance of the low and vicious
coming in the name of the high and cult
lured. Better thousand fold the instinct
|of modesty which cannot see a coarse sight
hhan the cool, Indifferent. ungirllike famil.
iarity with criminal suggestions which is
now the fashion among us.
1t is to be feared that the very excellent
parents who compose our select circles"
have no more intelligent idea Of the amuse-
ments affected by the ''set" with whom
their sons and daughters disport them
selves than they have of the entertain
ments of factory holiday or a firemen's
picnic.

The baby oAswea . Cartridge.

train on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad on Sunday.
The chattering, perspiring, gayly dress
ed picnickers crowded the seats and aisles
of the smoker and first class cars and the
overflow even flooded the parlor car de-

cident to such affairs rose above the
chatter of car wheels and made ordinary
railroad conversation impossible. But
at n stoppage at one of the little railway
stations there was a lull. A poorly clad
old negro of solemn visage came up to a
car window and said to an elderly col
ored passenger:
