Olive Oil for the Skin.

The value of rubbing with olive oil a
young child who is delicate in health
and has naturally dry skin is not gen
orally appreciated. If this is done
properly, every portion of the body be-
ing Amounted and the oil rubbed well
into the skin by the hand, any excess
being wiped off with u soft cloth, it will
not soil the under clothing; and there is
no better way of giving such weak CHI
dren necessary nourishment for the skin
through the pores.
The fact that the skin is dry shows
that it is not in healthy condition.
Many grown women with naturally dry
skins use little oil in this way after the
bath, and it proves eficacious and agree
able. The amount OF oil used should be
barely enough to lubricate the skin-the
amount used by the skillful masseuse in
her work, aud to which her success Is
often due. A little perfumed oil Of sweet
almonds may be more grateful to some
persons than sweet oil. Certainly much
of the success of the cosmetics of oldea
time was due to the use of almond oil,
instead of the cheaper lard, which is SC
frequently substituted for 1T in our de.
generate times. New York Tribune.

A TIME sAvIye DEVICE.

1t was once the fashion to put all rem.
nants of dresses and other wearing ap.
parel, whether of cotton or wool, away
in deep and annoying receptacle
known as the "piece. bag" If frock
was torn and must be quickly mended,
plunge into the depths of this bag
brought up fifty little rolls besides the
one sought. A set of stout pasteboard
boxes containing "the pieces" of each
member of the family with the name and
contents written and gummed to the
top is the time-saving device used by
one systematic housewife that l know.
Cotton and wool pieces are kept in sep
arate boxes. Feathers, flowers and hats
belonging to the different members OF
tie family are put away in the same
fashion. Trunks containing bedding or
dresses not In use are also labelled with
their contents. York Post.

ADD KEROSENE TO THE STARCH.

1t does not seem to be generally
known that the addition of little kerr
osene oil to the raw starch in which the
bosoms of shirts are starched the second
time will produce highly satisfactory re-
suits. The first starchng should be
done in hot starch in the usual way.
Then to one shirt take good half tea
spoon of starch and dissolve it in as
little cold water as possible. Next fill
the earthen dish in which you dissolved
your starch not quite half full of cold
water, and add a teaspoonful of kero-
sene. Stir the oil well into the starch,
then dip your shirt bosom several times,
rubbing in the starch thoroughly with
the hands. After this fold the shirt
smoothly, roll it tight and let it remain
so at least an hour before ironing

The Dirtiest Town in the World.

Annoy, China, bears the inevitable
reputation of being the dirtiest and most
unhealthful city on the globe, writes
United States Consul Bedloe. The repu-
tation is thoroughly deserved. What Is
more unpleasant fact is the promise of
the present tendency of affairs to lower
and worse condition. The reasons are
obvious to newcomer at glance.
The city is built on the edge of a
mountainous island and is exceedingly
old. Inscriptions on ancient tombs run
back as far as the beginning of the
Christian Era, and coins found in acct
dentally discovered graves date to dyn.
asties from 500 to 1909 B. G. During
all this period the hillsides of the city
have been used as burying grounds. AS
the population increased the houses en-
croached upon the cemetery land, until
finally the two became hopelessly inter
mixed.
The United States Consulate Is re.
garded as very. superior locality, but it
is surrounded by over 100 tombs. A
score of the large blocks of granite used
in and about it are old tombstones. On
the hill Immediately behind the residence
of F. Malcampo the graves touch one an /.
other at every point and form solid
white surface of rock, brick, porcelain
and cement, covering more than ,000.-
600 square feet. Near the Lam-paw do
joss houses 10000 bodies are said to
have been buried vertically to save space.
They lie or stand in plot of land of as
many square feet. Annoy proper and its
suburbs have living population of
about l, ZOO, 900 and dead one of four
and a half times as many. The wells are
shallow and are sunk on the edges of
tho graveyards, and even among the
tombs themselves. have not seen one
whose water is not muddy aud dis
colored by the perpetual turning up of
the soil.
The city is relic of the past. 1t is
walled the same as it was in the time Of
Confucius. 1t has no sewers whatever.
The streets vary from two to six feet in
width; no wheeled vehicle can use them.
An equestrian would experience great
difficulty in turning corner. Here and
there is an open space or plaza, dug out
SO as to be huge open cesspool; into it
the streets discharge their filth. The

PLANTS FOR LATE BEDDING.

1t frequently happens that one is I'M
able, for various reasons, to raise or
secure plants desired for out door Gull
ture, as early in the season as usual, and,
too often, because of this fact the flower
lover is led to think that it will be i'm
possible to have good display of BIOS
SONS during that season. This is mis-
take, and this article is written for the
purpose of showing the reader how she
may have good supply of flowers
between the time she reads this and
frost.
Usually the quickest way to make up
for delay in early planting, is to- pur-
chase plants from a florist, and the list
Of suitable varieties for out door grow
ang which may be obtained in this way
includes geraniums, ageratums, coleus,
pansies, cannas, caladiums, achyranthus,
hydrangeas, etc.; verbenas, petunias,
nasturtiums, thunbergias and other
plants OF like nature may also be found
but are not likely to be desirable plants
from the fact that they are usually the
remnants of stock started early in the
SpFing.
By sowing seeds of petunias, verbenas,
dwarf nasturtiums, mignonette, dwarf
and climbing morning glory and sweet
peas Gin good location where it is not
too warm and where the plants may
have considerable nursing) directly in
the open ground, we will in few weeks
obtain quite supply of plants which
will bloom abundantly before the close
OF the season. Oftentimes the results
from late plants are better than from
earlier ones, and question greatly if a
good supply of fresh bloom and strong,
healthy plants in the late summer and
fail is not more desirable than the same
eiiect in the early season.-The House

Decimating the Woodpecker.

In some parts of the South the people
have novel way of decimating what
they deem pest. The black red headed
woodpecker, in their opinion, does
material damage to certain trees, and the
following is the inexpensive method they
adopt for his destruction. A pole is
lashed to tree or stuck into the ground
for the pecker to alight on. When he
does. a sharp blow is given the pole at
the foot with a club or axe upon the side
on which the bird is. He drops stone
dead. --Brooxlyn Cltixen.

CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS.

Sweet peas require sunny exposure
and rich ground. The best fertilizer
which can be put on them is the kitchen
suds poured over the roots, but not on
the leaves. This treatment will bring
about miracles of bloom and fragrance
during the summer. 1t is better not to
allow any of the peas to go to seed I'M
til the end of the summer, as the growth
OF the pod is apt to exhaust the vines
and cause the pea vines to stop bloom

FEED FOR AN IDLE HORSE.

A horse has small stomach and active
digestion, writes Henry Stewart. The
feed therefore should be Of the highest
nutrative quality, with as little waste
matter as may be. 1t should be as easily
digestible as possible. Whole corn and
cob is not such food, and on general
principles is not to be considered either
healthful or profitable. The feeding
value of food, as estimated by its chemi-
cal constituents, is not safe guide, as
the cob, while not without some seeming
nutritious quality, is hardly digestible,
and in this respect has about the same
value as woody fibre in the form of
dust. In the experience of horsemen the
cob has been suspected of dangerous
qualities and as productive of indiges-
ton. Certainly it is not in any way a
food that can, under the special exigen.
cies of the season, be considered useful,
safe or economical
But corn is an excellent food for
horse under certain circumstances. 1t is
a concentrated food: it has large pro-
portion of carbohydrates which supply
the required heat and is suitably deficient
in the albuminoids that are not wanted
by an animal.that is resting. Again, its
starchy character is such that when, in
the form of meal, it is masticated it be-
comes plastic and solid mass that is not
readily attacked by the gastric fluid, and
is thus not easily digested and is likely
to produce an attack of collie, which
while it may not be dangerous, yet takes
up so much of the reserved force of the
animal as to cause loss of food. The
corn, then, should be coarsely ground.
and If fed without hay will be still more
sase and profitable to feed.
A horse OF 1000 pounds needs, in ad.
dition to fifteen pounds of good trnothy
hay, not more than ten pounds of corn
coarsely ground, and this allowance of
gram may be considered as equal to fifty
per cent. of whole grain. This supplies
about twenty pounds of dry substance
containing Of digestible matters fourteen
pounds of carbohydrates, pound and
three-fourths of albuminoids and half a
pound Of fat, which is ample for horse

COCOA MATTINGS.

Cocoa mattings, which are useful and
desirable for piazza mats and coverings
and for covering the corridors of coun-
try houses used only part of the year,
are a yard and a quarter in width, and
the best quality is sold for sixty cents a
square yard. One of the hest patterns
has an orange ground crossed by broad
brown stripes; another pattern has an
ecru ground with red stripes. For the
sitting-room of such houses blue denim
is sometimes used as border, or all
over the floor as background for rugs.
Flax colored linen with conventional
heur-d e-lis or other design makes cool
and soft looking background for rugs.
Or it may be laid over heavy carpets as
a desirable change for summer, and is a
protection to the carpets as well. In a
family where there are many children
who dine at the family table pair OF
crumbcloths made of this linen are help
in keeping the dining room in nice con-
dition. A good quality OF the linen.
