The only lines that Patti has ON her
face are those under the eyes and the
mouth curves from nose to chin, which
are quite light. But when here she was
badly afflicted with .''moth," or dark
patches on forehead and cheeks Her
childish glee at having it removed will
be appreciated by every woman who has
ever been relieved from any skin blem-

her friends, artistic or social, during her
stay here. Little wonder. The com

4 Highly Educated Cat.

Mrs. Ellen Platt, wife of ex-senator
Thomas c. Platt, has large hopes for the
future of the cat. She is of the opinion
that the Tabbys and Thomases have
been shamefully and cruelty neglected,
and that if given half a chance they
would distinguish themselves. One of
her pets is a big, beautiful Tom, julius
by name, who has been trained to do u
number Of things, and gives evidence of
possessing superior ability. Julius eats
at first table, occupying a chair at the
left of his gracious mistress. He has his
own napkin, with bit of silk garter
and silver clasp to hold it about his
neck, and whenever morsel is handed
to him he makes acknowledgment by a
profound and respectful inclination of
the head. He has never been known to
drop crumb on the floor or capsize a
dish. He drinks bullion and cats ice
cream, finger rolls, mint and any game
or fish in season. Julius travels with II

In NelIy,s Memory,

Standing alone in peaceful section OF
Prospect park is big oak. 1t is known
as ',Nelly's tree" and an inquiry Of any
of the blue coated policemen will elicit
its history.
Fifteen years ago the tree was visited
by the young girl after whom it is
named.
The spot at which it is located, Battle
Pass, IS a historical one Here short
but decisive engagement between the
American and British troops occurred
during the war for independence.
Tackled on the side of the tree facing
the roadway, blackened and furnished
by time and the elements, is nickel
plate. Deicately engraved on this is
one simple word-''Nelly."
\ score of years ago society belle, a
member Of one of the best families on
the heights, was the victim of consump-
ton All one summer she was dying.
Day after day, when her strength and
the weather permitted, it was her habit
to go out to Prospect park and sit under
the grateful shade of the noble oak
\ short time after her death her father
fastened the silver plate to the tree in
memory of his beloved daughter.-New

Sensible Summer Food.

1t is safe to say that the more raw,
ripe perfect fruit is eaten in a family
the better for all concerned. Apples
should be staple eight months of the
year, and every healthy child allowed at
least half dozen day When berries
grow ripe and cheap and plenty buy of
them generously, and eat them as nearly
as possible in Il state of nature. 1t may
seem extravagant, but little thought
will show you that it is not. The first
cost is all-there is no after outlay for
fixing and fuel, to say nothing of time
and temper and trouble.
Upon hot morning any human Great
ure will feel better to breakfast upon
bread, butter, berries and ice water or
milk than if it had absorbed all the hot,
greasy creations that ever came off or
out of stove Indeed an excellent plan
for hot weather is to boil a ham whole,
leaving the skin on, and letting it cool III
the water it was boiled in, Take up and
put in the stove pan just as the fire Is
dying down. Let it stay for an hour,
then set it in clean dish, inside clean
bag, in the coolest place at command.

ginning at the small end. With dish

4 True Ghost Story.

a certain young lady, while alone one
night in her room, whiled away the
hours by reading thrilling ghost story.
Page by page she became interested, and
the weird hour Of midnight was passing.
Needless to say she was nervous. What
young woman is there that, sitting en-
thralled by an exciting ghost story at
midnight and alone, wouldn' condescend
to become agitated at the proper mo-
ment: Strange coincidence, but at this
proper moment an eminently respecta-
be banjo that had long been in the
room had one string that couldn't stand
the strain longer, 50 just as the hour
hand was midway between 70 and
it broke with a sharp report. PEG

like behavior that I see around me, as

are you going to keep up this standard?
Well, by avoiding certain youthful vices.
Some of these you know very well. Eat

. Fluid for Cleaning Gloves.

Here is fluid that will easily clean
the gloves, aud when they are exposed
TO the air for Il short time the odor
passes away: Put into three pint bottle
one quart of benzine, one ounce of ether,
one ounce of ehloroform and half an
ounce of wintergreen. Shake and cork
tightly.
To clean the gloves put them on the
hands, and wettins a piece of clean white
cloth or small sponge with the fluid
sponge the gloves quickly, rubbing quite
hard in the parts most soiled. Take an
other clean piece of cloth and rub the
gloves till they are perfectly dry. Now
slowly and carefully work the gloves off
the hands, and hang them in the fresh
air for half an hour. All odor will have
disappeared by that time.-Maria Parloa

Don't Hnyo Direct Light.

1t is better to hayeno artificial light in
sleeping rooms, but as such light is often
necessity it should be so shielded as
not to fall directly upon the eyes of the
sleeper. Neither should sunlight be al
lowed TO shine through window upon
the bed, either directly or by reflection.
Where it is necessity to sleep during
the daylight hours, is is SO often the
case in the multifold diyersities of labor
in city, the room should not be made
dark. Closing the shutters and drawing
the shades so as TO shut out direct light
will usually be sufficient, and on waking
the change to the strong midday light
will be less trying TO the eyes.-Hall's

Women Who Had Ready Wit.

Some time ago something happened
over in Brooklyn which gives color to
the claim that women are reader witted
than men. A little girl in attempting
to light the gas in the baby's sleeping
room set fire to the lace curtains. Three
young women who We're walking in the
adjoining yard heard the outcry of the
child, and snatching up some watering
pots which stood near byrushed into the
house and up into the bedroom. The
fire had by this time spread to the bed
on which the baby lay. They first
poured the contents Of their watering
pots upon the bed, then carried both the
children to a place Of safety, and then
turned to aid the mother in tearing
down the draperies aud extinguishing
the flames All this was planned and
executed SO promptly that before the
fire engines could reach the spot the fire
was ont, and the young women were re
ceiving the congratulations of some men
who had stood in the street looking on,
and who had not enough presence Of
mind in the face of the danger to offer
assistance until all need for it was past.

Proper washing of an Infant.

Very few people look upon washing
with the Importance that it really de-
serves. They think that the hands and
face only call for special attention. The
whole body should be washed at least
once a day, and in some cases may call
for twice The water used should be
warm, and, as the infant grows, the
temperature Of the water should be re-
dueed. You must remember that sweat
is coming from our skin at all times. but
it is only when we work very hard or
take brisk exercise that We are aware Of
it. Now it is this sweat that causes the
unpleasant smell that dirty babies have,
and this same sweat helps the dirt Z
stick to the body. If you therefore
allow your baby to remain dirty You are
running its health. The cooler the water
that you accustom the child 10 the more
the nerves Of the skin are stimulated and
the circulation helped. Be careful to
dry the body quickly and thoroughly

kitchen, completely covered with SCOT
and dust, and there is no telling how
long it has been there-perhaps since
Mr.. Maddox built the house, over forty
years ago. The shell Of the egg is per
feet, with no fiat side, and it is as light
as if the contents had been blown out
but when placed on a table in any posi-
ton it will turn quickly to one side, a.
though it had a couple of ounces of leat
on that side, though the weight of the
egg is not sufficient to cause this.
1t will not roll off board that i.
wide enough for it to turn once around
and it will spin like top by touching il
with pin perpendicularly when it il
lying on q table. To lift the egg up from
table it feels at first heavier than {
fresh egg and produces il pulling sensa
ton, like taking piece of steel from {
magnet, but when it is lifted foot above
the table there appears to be nothing but
an empty shell, which shows it has 6

arity of the egg is the fact that if YOU
hold it in one hand and a piece of metal
in the other tingling sensation will be
produced in the arms like that caused by

In man and woman the dissirnilarity is

The more women seek to resemble
