New Decorative EGects-An Attractive
Color Combination.

New Decorative EGects-An Attractive
Color Combination.
A charming decorative effect is produced
by sewing down gold thread with colored
silk. This is specially apparent in charm
ing plush table cover of soft golden green
shade. The design is wrought out with
gold and cream silks, with outlines of gold
thread sewed with red silk. The thread is
of coppery tint, and this, with the red
silk, affords just the requisite warmth of
tone unattainable in green and gold
scheme. 1t is surprising that such hand
some result could be achieved with so com
paratively small an amount of work. The
set designs making the center are filed in
with silks, but the plush serves for the
running foliage, the leaves being outlined
and veined with gold and only shaded
slightly at the edges with silks.
Yellow and also a combination of white
and yellow are the fashion in needlework,
especially for small things. A blotter of
coppery yellow velvet is decorated with
white linen applique design, outlined and
veined with gold thread. A few scattered
forgetmenots are worked with blue silk
here and there Again, there is the same
combination in a second blotter, but this
time the ground is white linen, and the
spray of white leaves and grapes is done
with brilliant yellow silk; the tendrils
with gold thread. Colored linens are quite
the favorite material for pincushions for
common use; they are very severe, with
out frills or ribbons or lace. The square or
oblongs are the shapes generally seen, and
they are embroidered with a single spray
of flowers or set design. Some are not
even so much as edged with cord. White
or a contrasting colored flax is used for the
pattern.
For quiet bit of decoration mauve sweet
peas on a reseda ground is happy choice.
Two or three flowers and little light green
foliage are considered sufficient for a hand
kerchief sachet and pincushion to match.
For those satin is the chosen material
Curtains are, to some extent, taking the

A COMMON TROUBLE.
The Cause of That Painful Thing Know
as n Boil, and Its Proper Treatment.

The Cause of That Painful Thing Known
as n Boil, and Its Proper Treatment.
The predisposing cause of boils is low
erng Of the health at some point. The
first indication of boil is slight itching
followed by reddish pimple with hair
in the center. Sometimes the pulling out
of this hair will arrest the development of
the sore. As the pimple grows the redness
extends and becomes more intense and the
pimple begins to throb with pain. In
about five days it breaks, pus oozes out,
the pain abates and soon after the dead
issue-so called core-escapes, followed by
rapid healing Sometimes no core appears
nor does the boil suppurate. This is known
as the blind boil" 1t is very hard and pain
full and long in healing. A carbuncle is
larger, more painful and very dangerous in
it's tendencies. The constitutional symp-
toms are slight, though in some cases there
may be considerable feverishness Halls
Journal of Health. authority for the above
description, prescribes treatment as fol.
lows
The diet should be generous, without
excess and easily digestible. The patient
while avoiding exhaustion, should take a
proper amount of exercise, have an abund
ance of pure air and wash his body daily
with cool water and soap. Local treat
ment also is needed. To arrest the prog
ress of boil at it's early stage, apply d
solution of sugar of lead every six OF
twelve hours with camel's hair brush
If this fails promote suppuration by
spreading on it wash leather plaster OF
galbanum and opium, cut in the middle
for the escape of the pus. If the pain con
tinues to increase, apply soothing applica
tions. When the boil begins to heal keer
the skin around it dry, clean it with tan
soap and smear it with yellow rosin oint
ment, dressing the broken surface witt
lint spread with the same ointment, keep
ing the dressing in position with strips Of
adhesive plaster or by light bandage.

MANNERS FOR CHILDREN.
A Rich Heritage Which the Poorest May
Give Their Children.


Manners cost nothing. Every parent
though the veriest pauper-can give them
to every child. You may not be able to
send your boy to Harvard nor your girl to
dancing school. They will never upbraid
you for that. But bring them through
childhood surrounded by and solely taught
coarse, common, slovenly ways of speech
and behavior, and no matter how devoted
and unselfish you have otherwise tried to
be, as surely rs they live will they see the
day when your memory is stung by the bit
terest reproaches. Start them in the world
with faultless manners, and though they
have no other inheritance they are immeas-
urably far from poor in the worlds most
cherished coin. Money does not rule every
where.
Does some busy, tired mother or care
worn father cry out, How shall | study
all the intricacies of etiquette To teach
them again." reply: There are dozen
broad rules that are sufficient to pass mus
ter. The rest are very good to know, but
not absolutely necessary. set down some
of them here, with this excuse, that see
them constantly violated by bright gentle
little people who would be glad to "act
pretty" if, poor, small souls they had the
faintest stimulus of example OF even pre-
cept to guide them.
Teach boy never to wear his hat in the
house nor while standing before woman;
to allow a woman always to precede him,
even (as latest advices say in ascending
stairs; to be quick to open doors for her, to
carry her parcels, to wait upon her and
never to sit while she is standing. Teach
both boys and girls good table manners
Make them wait by their chairs till their
elders are seated; eat noiselessly; not fidget
nor talk with full mouths nor upon unap-
petizing SUBJECTS not leave knife and fork
trailing off the plate, but always laid side
by side, never crossed upon it, every second
that they are not in use; not to soak and
sop their food; not to bite off bits from n
slice; to half fold the napkin when it is not
to be used again; not to reach; to be courte-
Gus in thanks and requests to push the
chair against the table after the meal
Teach them always to knock at closed
door; not to call from one room to another;
not to loll in their seats, nor, if in a rocking
chair, TO rock.
With speech there are more than a dozen
'donts." They certainly are vulgar who

onick Mitted Engineer.

Among Mr. Grundy's Pictures of the
Past" is one of a small, irascible captain Of
the royal navy, who for some inexplicable
reason had been made the manager of the
Manchester and Leeds railway, then newly
opened for few miles from Manchester.
This violent little naval officer issued a
pamphlet of instructions to the men, a
portion of which was devoted to engine
drivers. Thrilling stories of the result of
want of caution abounded.
In those early days, wherever the charac-
ter of the country favored it, the rails were
laid, not upon wooden sleepers, as was soon
found more desirable, but upon square,
bedded blocks of stone.
The captains story went that some care
less workmen had left one of these blocks
OF stone in dangerous proximity to the line
of rails Now mark the advantage of the
cautious engineer.
He saw the great block and knew the
danger, so ''he put his engine as much as
possible on the other rail and just missed
the stone, otherwise he must have hit itP'

Cuts for Roasting.

It is sometimes a difficult matter for a
small family to find an economic piece of
beef for roasting. A rib roast is not to be
thought of, unless it weighs from ten 70
twelve pounds, or even more if it is cut
from heavy prime beef. 1t is true one may
purchase single rib and get roast of
smaller weight, but this gives so large ii
cut surface from which the juices of the
meat will flow and so thin a roast in pro
portion to its size that it is impossible to
cook it properly and save the juices of the
meat.
People very often purchase por6erhouse
roast and pay the extra price now charged
for this cut in order to secure a roast of
proper thickness, which may be served
rich and rare without perceptible loss of
the juices which are the stamina of the
meat. There is no objection to the porter
house roast, except that it is very ex-
pensive one, as it requires seven or eight
pounds to give proper thickness to this or
almost any roasting piece. Thi leaves a
large amount of meat which has cost too
much to be made over, as it must be, into
rechauffes.
There are several other cuts which cost
considerably less and make roast fully
as well favored and tender. The top of
the sirloin, which the butcher will usually
cut with but small portion of the tough
end adherng to it, makes an excellent
roasting piece and costs fl ye or six cents
less pound than a porterhouse roast. 1t
is also an economical piece to buy because
it has very small percentage of bone. The
leg-o'-mutton piece, which is cut out Of the
fore quarter, and the cross rib roast are ex-
cellent roasting pieces, which possess the
requisite thickness, are equally well fla
vored and cost considerably less than a
porterhouse roast.-New York Tribune
