symptoms of Crooked Spine.

Crooked spine occurs for the most part
in strumous children When the curva-
ture is so marked as TO attract the atten-
ton of the parents, when it is really visi-
BILE to the sense of sight, there is no mis-
taking the disease for anything else, and
the belief is generally expressed that the
little one has had fall or mischance of
some kind and has njured the spine. This
may or may not have been, for although
injury might encourage the deposition of
tubercle in any particular part, it Is read
ily enough deposited in certain situations
without anything accidental having &C
CURED.
But before the actual deformityi is visible
to the non-medical eve other symptoms
will be noted: the child will be pale and
soft and sickly, and subject 10 pains about
the chest and stomach. Sometimes a boy
or girl in the earlier stages Of this COM
plant will have an old or old fashioned
look, and the mind i often highly devel-
oped at the expense Of the body. This is
of course not invariably the case The child,
however, early evinces a weakness in us

Education and Society.

Too often the first thought Of n mother
over the cradle OF little child, especially
if it be "A girl, Is how 10 steer and trim her

may float upon the serene seas Of social
success. The schemes and devices and

which they involve themselves, and the

WHY Nor Obtain bigger Salaries.

There are in New York probably eight
Kan m;lIiGers who coz. Tr::.iid salaries of
from 5000 to s. 200 a year. When not
making sample or order hats they go into
the salesroom and tempt customers into
buying. The man milliner will pick up a
broad brimmed hat, pucker it into pretty
shape, and while he holds it in this posi-
ton with one hand he throws a wreath Of
berries. flowers or feathers around il, and
nine times out Of ten the customer orders
adozen or two of hats, feathers and flowers.
The woman salesman tells the buyer
what pretty head pieces can be made out
of this or that shape" trimmed with this
or that article Of trimming She doesn't
illustrate her idea; she doesn't think il
necessary. and consequently she doesn't
make the sales and cannot demand the
salary a man obtains.-ExchaBge

Feed the Baby Regularly.

Crying spells are not without cause. In
the majority of cases indigestion makes
the trouble. In collie, that most painful
form of indigestion, the infant kicks and
screams at short intervals, the abdomen
becomes hard and tense, and at the slight
est pressure the little ones outcries be-
come more distressing Warm applica-
lions of flannel or haxseed plaster gen.
orally bring relief. The child's meal times
should be announced by the clock, irregu-
larity in this matter having much to do
with the so called stomach troubles. A
teaspoonful of lime water with every meal
will act as a regulator for the bowels, re-
fresh the stomach and aid in the forma-
ton of bone and teeth. 1t is necessary that
the child be kept in an even temperature
as near 20 dogs. as possible. the whole body
being protected by light flannel under
wear, high in the neck and long sleeved.-

By little clever manipulation even an
ordinary quality of machine made lace can
be toned up to bear a close resemblance to
the genuine article If the pattern is good

tored trimming with impunity, and even
permit scrutiny secure in the success OF
her imposture. Here is the recipe by which
hundreds of yards are satisfactorily treated
every year: Make a strong decoction of
Oolong tea, strain, and when cold use to
rinse the lace. Do not crush in wringing,
but press with the hands until partially
dry. Now spread on a clean ironing board,
and be careful to separate the delicate
points so that the pattern may be pre-
served When dry a fine tea tint will be

The palms call for harder coloring, with
sunset washes between the long drop

center lines and rich red and brown
shading along the edge. Have q

in its beauty. The glow and flush of the

work, mere trick and illusion of color.
When the tinting is done the leaves are
outlined with rope silk in shades of
green. This is the easiest part of the
work. When all is done dampen ON the

Preserve the Hip Lines.

One of the greatest mistakes that women
make in dressing is the common one of de-
stroying the hip curves. The symmetrical
lines of the hips should be brought out as
carefully as in the waist line, vet nine wo-
men out of ten will load bands and gathers
over the hips until every outline is lost Be
the woman slender or leshy, she should
insist upon having the seams of her dresses
extend two or three inches below the waist
line, with as much attention given TO de-
tail of fit as there IS above the waist
If you notice attentively you will dis
cover that every woman who has a reputa-
ton for a beautiful figure invariably wears
this style of dress. In fact, the reputation
for grace and beauty of figure depends al
most entirely upon the hip lines not being
lost in drapery. Whatever the style OF
dress or drapery, this idea should be the
fundamental principle, and notifications
for chrnglng fashions worked from it. 1t
is becoming alike to both slender and
fleshy neople.-Chicago Herald.

Youag Mothers Should Be Careful.

Afte~ the birth of the baby the mother
should be kept perfectly quiet for the first
twenty-four hours, and not allowed TO talk
or see any one except her nearest relations,
however well she may seem. She should
not get out of bed for ten days or two
weeks, nor sit upin bed for nine days The
more care taken of her at this time the
more rapid will be her recovery when she
does get about.
She should go up and down stairs slow
ly, carefully and as seldom as possible for
six weeks. She should not stand more
than is unavoidable during that time, but
sit with her feet up and lie down when she
has time to rest. She should not work a
sewing machine with treadle for at least
six weeks, and avoid any unusual strain
or overexertion. IAN ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure" and carefulness
will be well repaid by perfect restoration
to health.-Mrs. Elizabeth r. Scoyil.

Canadian Toboecaninu Dress.

In Harper's Magazine Julian Ralph tells
how the Canadian women manage TO keep
warm He went out to toboggan slide
and nearly chartered his teeth out, he was
so cold. He asked Canadian lady how it
was that the girls could stand such
weather, and she answered naming a list
of principal garments those girls were
wearing. They had two pairs of stockings
under their shoes and pair of stockings
over their shoes, with moccasins over them.
They had so many wooden skirts that an
American girl would not believe one who
gave the number. They wore heavy dresses
and buckskin jackets and blanket suits
over all this. They had mittens over their
gloves, and fur caps over their knitted
hoods And these bouncing. buxom, pretty
Canadian girls are as healthy lot Of
women as can be found on this earth.

Good Things for Wives and Mothers.
Instantly one suggests that the corset is
an unnatural and unhealthful article of
clothing the alarmed woman of fashion
exclaims that she must have the support;
that spread out waists and hanging bos-
oms, ike those of the hard working peas
ant woman, are ungraceful and disgust
ing She is both right and wrong if our
reader can understand the paradox. But
there is no more reason why the woman
who has time for the development of ele-
CANT proportions should have the spread
out appearance and clumsy waist and bust
proportions of the peasant woman than
why her slender, tapering hands should
grow into a resemb lance TO those of the
peasant.
Certain conditions of life favor certain
conditions of physical evolution, and what
we claim and can prove by actual demon
stratioa is that firm, well shaped busts
and tapering and symmetrical waists are
matters of physical development, and the
cultivation of correct physical relations
is necessary to insure the success of
healthful modes of dress.
With the corset our principal point of at
tack is the steel which presses upon the
stomach. the abdomen and diaphragm,
giving tendency toward a round shout
dered or bent position of the body, which
is ungraceful and awkward, beside doing
physiological harm. We have never made
any serious attack upon the whaleboned
waists for those who wish them, and it
may be well to say at this writing that
there is point to which the waist will Ger
tainly spread if the corsets are left off and
physical development neglected that will
be neither graceful, beautiful nor necessa-
rily healthful.-Jenness-Mi Miller Magazine
