TIE MINERVA.

upon local yachting contests. But there
will be a race which, when it takes place,
will attract the attention of all those en-
thusiasts who are interested in the great
question of the English VS.. the American
build of boat This is the race which will
take place between the Minerva and the
Liris under the auspices of the L8rchmont
Yacht club. The interest which centers
around this match is due to the fact that
the MineS,a, though now owned in Amer
ice is an English built boat, while the
Liris is a good type of the American keel
sloop The date Of the races has not yet
been settled, but it is understood that they
will take place between the LarchmOnt an
nual races in July and the cruise of the
New York Yacht club, which begins early
III August. The courses of the match are
20 be, for the first race, ten miles to wind
ward or leeward and return.
The second race will be over the thirty
mile course of the Larchmont Yacht club,
and the third, if one IS necessary will be
over the same course as the second. The
prize is to be cash one of large amount,
and the club will add purse or prize to
the private one.
The cutter Minerva was launched in the
fall Of 1885, and crossed the Atlantic soon
after, on her own bottom, under command
of Capt. Charlie Barr, brother of the IA
nous skipper of the Thistle. Her length
over all is 81 feet, on the water line 80
feet II inches, beam 10 feet inches,
draught feet and present sail area 2, $50
square feet. She was recently purchased by
John Lee Carroll, Jr, from Admiral
Charles Tweed, of the Corinthian Yacht
club
In the races which were sailed last year
against the Minerva she walked away
from all competitors with the single ex-
ception Of the Lris, which beat her by six
minutes in the Oyster bay regatta. The

Many Ways in Which to Utilize Salt.

If the feet are tired or painful after long
standing great relief can be had by bathing
them in salt water. A handful of salt to a
gallon of water is the right proportion.
Have the water as hot as can be comfort
ably borne. Immerse the feet and throw
the water over the legs as far as the knees
with the hands. When the wGter becomes
too cool rub briskly with flesh towel
This method, if used night and morning,
val cure neuralgia Of the feet. Carpets
may be greatly frightened by first sweep
ing thoroughly and then going over them
with a clean cloth and clear salt and water
Use cupful of coarse salt to large basin

Salt as a tooth powder is better than al
most anything that can be bought. II
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the
gums hard and rosy. If after having a
tooth pulled the mouth is filled with salt
and water it will allay the danger of hav-
ing hemorrhage. To clean willow furni-
ture use salt and water Apply with a
nail brush, scrub well and dry thoroughly.
When broiling steak throw little salt on
the Goals and the blaze from the dripping
fat will not annoy. Damp salt will re-

caused by tea and careless washing Brass

Who has not felt a rush of recollection
at the sight of cast OFF garment worn
once in a LIES crisis? l know woman,
rather unromantic and unconstitutional the
world says, who, deep down in an old
trunk, keeps dingy, girlish gown of cheap
gray serge and cotton velvet. She wouldn t
wear such a common thing nowadays, and
she couldn't get into it if she would What,
then, does she keep it for? Her stylish
daughters certainly would never don it.
No; but sometimes she takes that ugly
little dress out. and with it the memory of
& tall, blue eyed, golden haired lover, whose
strong right arm has encircled its dingy
waist.
Her husband is short and swarthy.
What of that? This is only a memory, and
there is no sin in the gnost of recollection

To Have Cool water Without Ice.

There is no reason why there should
not be a thousand crude water jugs to
every expensive one. The main outlay
need be only a few cents, the rest liberal
expenditure of gumption applied to hea-
then principles. The people of Japan de
pend for their drinking water upon their
thousands of good wells. The dwellers in
the cities, when possessed of unlimited
means, have porcelain filters and water
coolers, through which they obtain pure,
fresh water of not unpleasant temporal
ture. For the poorer classes Japan fur
nishes filter which costs about six or
seven cents. 1t is a bracket like arrange
ment containing sand and is most efiica-
cious in cleansing the water of the dust
which settles on Japan in clouds
Early in the morning, before the sun is
up, the japanese so out and draw water
for use during the DAY. This is filtered
through the seven cent sand filter or
through a twenty-five cent charcoal ma
chine and then slowed away, closely COW
cred in wooden pals or pottery jars, in the
coolest place that can be found.-New

A Girls Best Charm.

My dear girls. keep yourselves looking
as sweet and dainty as possible. Never
undervalue the charm of an agreeable ap-
pearance. 1t is the most delightful letter
of introduction that can be given to a
stranger, and there is no reason in the
world why every woman should not be
pleasant to look upon. A famous woman
once said: There are no ugly women;
there are only women who do not under
stand how to make themselves beautiful 4"
This is absolutely true. So the right thing
for you to Go is to sit down, think it over
and make yourself the charming example
that points the moral of this.-Ladies'

Women at the Dentists.

Women have most of their dentistry
done before marriage. Men do not give
them the credit they deserve in this. If
women were as selfish as they are charged
they would wait until they were married
and have the husbands pay the bills When
a young woman comes in here 1 know she
is going to marry. l have seldom failed in
my guess. A young beauty was here the
other day who was a SIS customer. knew
her well, and when the work was over
asked:
"When is the wedding to take place."
She blushed and replied, "Who told you
anything about it?"-Interview in Chicago

The New Wav of Serving Tea.

AT ultra tea parties tea is brewed indi-
vidually in each cup, but the latest whim
is to have the tea apportioned in little
fancy tarletan bags, just large enough to
hold the brewing for one cup. These little
bags are placed on silver dish beside the
kettle or urn. A bag is tossed into cup,
and when the aroma is extracted it is pulled
out by a thread attached or lifted from the
cup with small silver tongs and dropped
into the slop bowl. The fancy Of brewing
tea at the table is becoming very general,
and is far more healthy and economical
way than sleeping it on the stove for any
convenient period.-Exchange

Noticing lacley, the prince beckOned

whole about four pounds of fine coal ASH
should be stTewed. and patted fat with the
shovel Such fire win burn all through
the night without any attention, and in
the morning the resulting cake of ash and
coal dust can be broken up, producing a
bright blaze. The addition OF little fresh
coal, with ahght strewing of ashes on the
surface, will keep the fire in throughout
the day. It is calculated that by this
method fourteen pounds of house coal and
seven pounds Of coal dust or pit screening
will keep large bedroom at an average
temperature of So dogs. for tyyenty-four
hours. Another advantage is that almost
smokeless fires result, since the layer of
superimposed ashes appears to filter the
smoke which passes through it, retaining
all the particles of solid carbon.-Cassell's
