The Household Tool Chest.

A great many housekeepers seem to
think that there is no need of keeping a
house tool chest in order, and are quite
likely to pick up such implements at bar
gain counters or in any shop when they
happen to need them. Any intelligent
person, with but slight mechanical genius,
if possessed Of the proper kind of tools, can
save considerable expense in small house
hold repairs and avoid also the trouble Of
sending for workman. A screw loose
may easily be frightened; a disorderly lock
may be removed, oiled and replaced, and
other small matters of this kind may he
attended to before they become complicated
troubles and require the service of skill
full mechanic.
AS matter of fact, a skilled mechanic
usually resents being sent for to attend to
small matters. 1t is very difficult to get a
carpenter to do work by the hour He
measures his time by days and disdains TO
notice fractions Of day, so that it does not
pay to send for him until there are enough
matters to fill up days time. This
means the neglect of small things. the sui
ferance of creaking hinges and doors
askew, and other minor matters, which
must go from bad to worse by waiting, un-
less some one in the family is mechani
enough to attend to them.-New York

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE MOTHER INSTINCT WHICH MAKES
US WANT TO HELP OTHERS.
An Opinion on Corsets-Dress and Express
sion-Family Anniversaries-The Most
Attractive Age-Household Tool Chest.
All About q Perfect Lady"

The desire to do something for other
people is the loyeliest and the most hard
to satisfy that inspires any of us. 1t be-
gins almost with our life; the very babies
show it in innumerable little ways as soon
as they can toddle, and the last plant of
helpless old age is that there is nothing for
them to do for others; all must be done
for them. Women, except i'll very eX-
ceptional cases, strain every nerve and
wear themselves to the bone doing for
others, and feel utterly overcome and
positively uncomfortable when little of
the same effort is made for them, and even
the most self absorbed person living feels
sense of truly well deserved self congrat-
ulation when she has done favor for some
one. 1t is true that the impulse often
springs from wish to make ourselves inn
portant and necessary to certain people,
but no matter what the motive when the
results are good.
1t is great thing to know when to stop
doing and ask to be done for. 1t is such a
graceful act to ask favor now and then,
and believe me, nothing makes a woman
more unlovely than to arrogate to herself
all the power and wish to do for even those
she loves most. Way down in everybody's
heart there is a bit of the mother or animal
instinct to do for others, and it is the most
sweetening and mellowing thing in human
nature. 1t can only be developed by exer-
else, and the opportunity for exercising it
can be offered or presented by every one CT
us. And if we actively decline or passively
fail to encourage the offers of sympathy
and help-help that comes to US every day
of our lives-we are as guilty as if we had
done or left undone something relating to
the physical well being. Oh, let us accept
every bit of help that is offered u.s. no mat
ter how triding, and accept it gracefully
and give thanks for it, and life will be ever
so much sweeter and easier for US and
everybody else.-New York Press.

Although -four is in daily use in nearly
every family in the United States, compar-
atively few cooks or housekeepers know
anything about the quality Of different
brands of -four, or can tell whether they
are using -four OF choice or Of an inferior
grade.
There are various methods Of testing
-four, but this is one OF the simplest: Take
some -four in the left hand. add little
water, and with the right forefinger mix a
rather stiff dough in the hand
Let it stand few minutes, then knead
and work il the hand. If the -four is good
the dough will become sitter and drier
with working and have an elastic, rubbery
feeling.
II it is of inferior quality the dough will
become soft and sticky under protracted
working

A Delicious Way of Serving Eggs.

An excellent dish for breakfast is shirred
eggs with tomato sauce. Butter some
small shirring molds and sprinkle inside
some chopped parsley. Break into each a
fresh egg and put a bit of butter on the
top with a pinch of salt. Set the molds in
pan of water reaching nearly to the top
of the mold and cook in the oven till the
eggs are set. Have ready some round
pieces of toast or fried bread and slip each
egg on one, using knife to loosen the
edges. Make thick tomato sauce, stew
ing two or three tomatoes, and adding a
teaspoonful of -four rubbed smooth in hot,
melted butter, salt, cayenne pepper. Pour
the sauce around the eggs and serve very
hot.-Her Point of View in New York

his native late. L

Gonaires he is self made, having got his
financial start in California, where he went
at the breaking out of the mining fever.
He early revealed a talent for banking,
having been the founder of the Gold bank
at Sacramento, the oldest bank in that
state and still fourishing. He was after
ward largely Instrumental in establishing
the Bank of California in San Francisco,
with whose fortunes he was SO long identi-
fed and of which he is still a very large
stakeholder. An impression was current
when tie bank met with disaster that he
had been instrumental in causing the
suicide of William c. Ralston, who had
many generous qualities and had won a
host of admirers. But his friends strongly
deny this, saying that he lent large sums
of money TO Ralston and had been uni
formly kind TO him. Mills and others re-
established the bank which Ralston, as its
chief officer, had wrecked, and it has been
prosperous ever since.
Mills is perhaps best known as the owner
of the Mills building, paid for, as alleged
by the profits Of a big speculation in Lake
Shore, and the teeming hive of scores of
millionaires. He is constantly engaged in
large operations, which he conducts as
quietly as possible, but which usually be-

Beware of the Cheap Thimble.

Girls who sew for living often suffer
from soreness in what is sometimes called
the thimble finger, and serious infamma-
ton and swelling are often the result. No
sewing girl or woman should let herself be
tempted by the low price of thimbles, which
are composed of lead or something equally
injurious. Silver or plated thimbles are
very much the best and safest, and when
these are too expensive good substitute
can be found in a highly FURNISHED steel
thimble. For practical everyday use this
latter kind is the most convenient, but
pewter or lead should never be used, es-
pecially by people whose flesh is slow to
heal after a scratch or cut.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

How Trained Nurses Stop Crying.

Uncomfortable positions often cause pro-

stock of ignorance is exceedingly large.
They will lie in crib in cramped, even

over. 1t is standing rule among trained
nurses when a child cries in the hospitals
to turn him over to his other side, rear

The Secret of a PaIatable Breakfast.

''The meat for our breakfast alone costs
so much" sighed a novice in the house
keeping line, but the experienced house
wife knows that certain relishes, like thin
slices of bacon with cream sauce, or raw
potatoes cut in strips and fried in hot fat,
a graham gem or light muffin, are usually
more acceptable than something heartier.
This is where the attention is needed, the
lack of which makes the morning meal
often an unpalatable one and little suited
to provide fuel to start the day IS work -
