The Poor Woman's PartOr.

If you have ever visited at the home of a
poor woman you will remember that one
of the doors opening into the hall was al
ways closed. 'That room," the daughter
of the house will tell you, "is not furnished
yet. Mother is saving it for the parlor."
Some day you will visit there again, a
great many years after, and will be shown
the realized ambition of a woman's life
her parlor. The pride that her wealthier
sisters take in furniture that cost a sum
larger than the poor woman ever heard of
is not as great as the pathetic air of pride
n awe with which she will unlock the
door opening into the hall, step softly
across the floor of a very dark room, pull
up blind a few inches, and ask you what
you think of it.
If you are young and thoughtless it seems
but an ordinarily furnished room to you.
If you are older, in the light of the satisfied
pride that you see on the woman's face
near the window, it is the ~loveliest room
you ever saw. She sits down, after invit-
ing you to do the same, and you notice that
she sits on the extreme edge of the chair,
as though afraid to wear the plush out.
The carpet is of a bright and cheerful
color. Her life has probably been devoid
of the cheerfulness that now shows up in
the carpet she saved so many years to buy.
Every little article in the room has its
history. The mat on the floor was bought
with egg money. The bright chromos on
the wall were bought with a little extra
money saved by taking a few boarders.
The wonderfully embroidered table cover,
she will tell you, was made by a neighbor.
81 can't do such work" the tired. proud
voice will say, "but Mrs. Larkin flowed
she could make it for me, if l would pay
for it in butter" Her feet step softly on
the carpet when she crosses the room, as
though she was afraid heavy shoes were
too hard for it, and you nave an impression
that she would have taken them off at the
door and walked in in her stocking feet if
O had not been with her.
She wipes her hands carefully on her
apron before she picks up the few orna-
ments on the table to show you. When
you leave the room she puts the chairs
carefully back against the wall, picks a
piece of lint off the carpet, pulls down the
blind, takes one last proud look at her par
lor and locks the door. You remain there
months longer, but unless death visits the
house the front parlor will never be opened
to your sight decentralization Globe.

For

Self sacrifice comes natural with women.
Much of it is born in them, and what is
not is ground in them from their childhood
By education. For the sake of her home
duties a girl gives up amusements and
privileges which her brother would never
be expected to forego for the like reason.
AS she grows older this spirit grows, en-
couraged by all tradition and outside infu-
ence. Often its power masters her alto
gether, and her life becomes one long devo-
ton to endless labor and acceptance of IN
pleasant things, that the pleasant part of
living may be kept sacred for the rest of
the family.
The purely useless side of this entire self
sbnegationsf must sometimes strike the be-

Size of Hands and Feet Of Ancient Women

An interesting fact was brought out at
the historical exhibition in Paris, where
specimens of gloves were seen dating back
to those of the Grecian empire. The sizes
of those gloves were proof ~indisputable
that among the bellies of ancient days, and
even those of the Middle Ages, the tiny
hands so common among the women of to-
day were entirely unknown.
A visit to the Hohenzollern museum will
convince any one that the small foot was
equally rare in earlier times, and that,
judging from their slippers, the feet of the
famous Prussian queens and princesses
would do credit to a dandy in the Grena-
der Guards Only the beautiful Queen
Louise possessed delicate and pretty feet,
the satin shoe belonging to her lamented
and revered majesty seeming like those of
a child beside the square toed No. 6 slip
pers of the Empress Augusta and the No.

Empress Frederick.-New York Sun.

Where to Put Plasters for Neural,

Neuralgia in the face has been cured by
applying a mustard plaster to the elbow.
For neuralgia in the head apply the plas-
ter to the back OF the neck. The reason
for this is that mustard is said to touch
the nerves the moment it begins to draw
or burn, and to be of the most use must be
applied to the nerve centers or directly
over the place whore it will touch the af-
fected nerve most q~uickly.-Washington

The question is frequently asked,

chickens? II one is not going to

might not be far wrong TO award the
prize to the Leghorns and facts seem
TO prove that this breed is the most
desirable for Its meat. The Leghorn

they are more salable than almost any
other breed. a Leghorn male crossed

are not better than the brown eggs;

Tho Cream Can.


In skimming milk either from pans
or cans, the tendency is to remove
altogether too much milk with the
cream. The method Of butter making
is to separate milk from fats. the sole
idea being to get the pure fats one
twenty. fifth of milk, out separate and
apart. To leave more than the usual
per cent. OF milk In cream Is not wise,
us the more milk we have In the
cream, the greater the fei iment In
ripening, and often from this very
cause. cream Is well on towards ran
cidity before churning. Skim us free
from milk as we may. there will bo
enough left in it to properly ripen the
cream. When ripened ready to churn.
such cream will be too thick to churn
without great loss, but this defect Is
very easily remedied, and the remedy
all the more favorable for securing
fine granular butter, by adding water
ut 62 degrees with trace OF salt in II,
to the cream when ready to start the
churn. Add water enough to make
the cream quite fluid. so that all the
cream will be put in motion by the
revolutions OF the churn. The cream
will then come quickly; readily sePa-
rnte from the buttermilk. and the but
ter all the nicer fef the dilution with
water Some, whom churning add
milk TO the cream 10 thin it. but water
is far preferable. as the water dissolves
the albuminous element OF the cream,
and permits the fats to more readily
adhere together while milk adds more
OF the very element we ARE churning
to free the butter fats from, so they
