Things the Queen Nav Not Do,

Queen Victoria, not being born a queen,
probably learned to read just like other
persons. But after she became afflicted
with royalty she found that a queen is not
allowed to have a great many privileges
that the humblest of her subjects can
boast. For instance, she isn't allowed to
handle newspaper of any kind, nor a
magazine, nor letter from any person ex-
cept from her own family, and no member
of the royal family or household is allowed
to speak to her of any piece Of news in any
publication.
All the Information the queen is permit
ted to have must first be strained through
the intellect of a man whose business tits
to cut out from the papers each day what
he thinks she would like to know. These
scraps he fastens on a silk sheet with a
gold fringe all about it and presents to her
unfortunate majesty. This silken sheet
with gold fringe is imperative for all com.
munications to the queen. Any one who
wishes to send the queen a personal poem
or communication Of any kind Except a
personal letter, which the poor lady isn't
allowed to have at alD must have it print.

Odd En- ploNment for WON en-.

In the most recent of her lectures, en-
titled New and Odd Employments Of
Women" Miss Virginia Penny shows that
there are few fields Of labor in which wom-
en- of today have not engaged, and that
their ingenuity in devising new occupa-
tions is not exceled by that of man. Per
sons who have observed the progressive
the occupations she mentions some that
are unusually interesting and novel. One
woman makes business of dressing
wealthy women for rites, receptions and
other social affairs. She selects the ma
terials, directs the styles in which the
the jewels, gloves and other accessories
She also dresses and trims the hair, and
arranges and loops the dresses. The dis
play of her taste and judgment is well paid
for.
A woman in Los Angeles has made a
speciality of the art of decorating rooms for
dinner and evening parties. She sends her
and are likely to entertain. She decorates
the rooms with flowers, arranges the ia
bles, festoons the draperies and brings out
the harmony of color with wonderful eff
feet. Another California woman, who fol-
lows similar occupation, had charge of
all the arrangements at the great Fair
wedding. California society still talks of

IT Does No Good to Tell Her.

IF a lover should be false-some slight
Irritation perhaps-do you think it does
any good to tell the woman? Never Per-
haps many do not agree with me, will tell
me there should be nothing hidden, moth
ing concealed between lovers. But surely
If q woman's happiness lies in her faith in
her lover or her husband, the knowl-
edge of that broken faith means nothing
but misery. For no woman can forgive
the man who has once been untrue to her;
can never forget tit will always be Turk
ing in her thoughts and coming between
all her happiness. While if she knows
nothing and has the frmest faith in the
man to whom she has given her love, do
you not think it is case Of "Where igno-
rance is bliss tits folly to be wise"' "a
FOOLS paradise" the dissenting ones cry;
but paradise all the same, one which it is
surely sinful to spoil by telling things
which have no remedy, by breeding dis
trust and doubt where only faith should
be.-Philadelphia Music and Drama.

sugar. He will keep your stomach in the
best of order and never let Mr.. Dyspepsia,
whom he hates cordially, get into it.
If you have dark hair and it seems to be
falling out, cut off slice of the doctor and
rub him on your scalp. He will stop that
little trouble promptly.
Squeeze him into quart of milk and he
will give you a mixture to rub on your face

If you have a bad headache cut DR..
Lemon into slices and rub these along your
temples. The pain will not be long disap-

bear.
If bee or an insect stings you clap few
drops of the doctor onto the spot and you
will find yourself the better for it.
If you have troublesome corn the doc
tor can be again put to good account by
rubbing him on the toe after you have
taken hot bath and cut away ms much as
possible of the troublesome intruder.
Besides all this the doctor is always ready
to sacrifice himself in the cause of Russian

preparation of old fashioned lemonade,
than which no drink Is more wholesome

Much is said about the depth of moth
ers love, and answering devotion is
claimed to be never failing trait; but
there are many women who, while to all
appearances affectionate and devoted to
their children, are very much lacking when
put to the test. The highest standard of
many in training their children is the man
ner in which their mothers trained them.
This is against reason, and in many cases
has baneful results upon their children.
The better plan is to study each childs in
dividual character and needs and to train
him accordingly. No mother should neg.
lect to read much of the pure and wise lit
erature. Some children are easily led in
the right way, yet many of these, through
a mothers neglect, are the first to fall
when temptations beset them.
Many mothers, when their children ar
rive at years of discretion, say to them
selves: 81 have taught them right from
wrong; they are old enough to look after
themselves; If they are foolish or weak
enough to fall into sin, cannot help it;
have done my duty by them; they can now
run in their own course. 1t has been very
tiresome, but now / can rest" Many Of
them do rest. Some are too faintheartet
to utter even a protest after a child grows
into adult age to deter him from foolish Of
wrong conduct. Gently, but unremitting
ly, do your utmost for your childs good
even though your soul sinks with hope de
ferred. Some day your child may recog
nize what his sorrowful mother has done
for him, and it may lead him to bette
things.-Housekeepe

Persian women are said to be unusually
bright and shrewd as we'll as very beauti-
full, with dark flashing eyes and gentle,
graceful manners. They are naturally
active minded, with a strongly poetic tenn
permanent and liking for art letters and
politics when they can get at them. The
Persian woman has greater power with
her men folk than other oriental women,
and in most affairs of Importance her influ-
ence may be distinctly traced. She is per
mitted to enter trades on her own account,
to possess independent property, to appear
as witness in courts, and is responsible
for her own debts, and in divorce has a
right to her children.
In theory, then, the fair Persian is well
off, but practically her place is insecure,
owing to the insecurity of life and property
in all praises Of Persian life. And in Persia
the tender woman and tenderer child hold
their religious convictions with their lives
and go to the stake or a worse death for
their faith's saLe.-New York Sun.

ordered by the girl, ana the kind depends
largely on the kind of grocer they patron
lie. Before settling on any brand of salt
it would be wise precaution to test its
purity, which every housckeeper can do to
her own satisfaction by placing a small
quantity in clear glass partially filled
with water Stir thoroughly and then al
low it to settle, when the impurities will
float above the salt and show which varie
ty keeps the cleanest and brightest. This
is a simple experiment, but only one Of
many which the wise housekeeper tries to
test the food productions used in her home.
The majority fail to appreciate the large
Gums of money which have been recently
paid to chemists by certain food companies
to bring about results not only palatable,
but of such pure nature that they well
meet the demands of doctors and scientists.
Too many people are inclined to look upon
food as the meat and vegetables which best
please their peculiar tastes, without taking
into consideration that food is fuel, and
that to reach the best development of hui
man life they must have the most noursh-
ing food materials prepared by the most

Regularity in Nursing.

The best time to give the child the breast
is when it awakes out of sleep, and on it's
hunger being appeased it will generally
again fall asleep without further trouble.
The practice which some have Of allowing
The child to fail asleep with the nipple in
its mouth before putting it into its cot is
one to be avoided A practice of this kind
very Soon becomes habit with the child,
and the mother herself may be astonished
TO find how great hold it has taken upon
it, and how difficult is the task, even in
short time OF getting the child to fall
asleep without the nipple In its mouth.
Regularity in nursing is necessary dur
ing the first month, and it must be main
tained in all its strictness until the APP
pearance Of teeth. The frequency, however,
with which the child is fed need not now
be SO great as up to this time it has been.
During the day the breast should not be
given more freq uently than once every two
and half or three hours, and during the
night it should not be given oftener than
duce every three or four hours AS the
child grows older the time which is allowed
to intervene between each meal should be
increased.
II such directions are attended to it will
soon be found that the child will sleep four
or five hours without awakin9, and the
mother will thus be enabled to obtain that
amount Of sleep which is so necessary for
her at this time, but if, instead her lights
are broken and disturbed she will speedily
suffer in health.
Till the appearance Of the first milk
teeth the child should be fed exclusively
upon the breast milk; after that, which is
natures indication that the stomach has
become fit to digest other substances, the
child may be given rusks, tops and bot
toms and little Of the prepared food 1t
may be that several Of these foods may
have to be tried ere one is found that will
agree with the child, but when one that is
suitable has been got, it should be at once
adopted and should not be readily given

have made six rugs during the past six
years-1 make one every year since learn
ed the way-the plan of which may claim
to have invented; at least l have never
seen any like them in the material used,
and If some one else has the same idea l
insist that it Is original with me, in that l
thought it out for myself. However, do
not intend to patent it, and now present it
for approval to such housekeepers as dis
like to waste anything.
In every family there are more or less
knitted garments which are constantly
being cast aside as past wearing-mittens,
stockings, hoods, caps, scarfs, shoulder
capes. never put anything into the rag
bag that can ravel, wooden or cotton. AS
opportunity serves, ravel and wind into
balls any such castoff articles. 1t is work
that children can do, if the mothers
haven't much time. Anything strong
enough to wind will do; and even short
pieces may be used if the knots are neatly
ted-a "weaver's knot" is best. Then,
when number Of large balls have ac-
cumulated, wind them together, about
four threaded. There is a chance for the
exercise of taste in this particular. A
thread each of black, white and red-three
coors one will be most likely to have-and
one Of -miss-odds and ends wound
together--will make pretty rug. If one
thread is cotton throughout, the work
will be all The more durable.
Having prepared the yarn, one is ready
to make the rug, which is crocheted slip
per stitch" with a medium sized bone hook
md in a round or oblong shape, as may be
preferred. like the oblong style 1t is
shaped by crocheting chain three-fourths
of yard long and working around it in
single crochet, taking up the outside loop
pf the stitch each time. Widen at the cor
ners and center of each end by making an
extra stitch In one loop each time around.
1t will make three radiating points if cor
rectly done. When it is large enough to
suit, fringe with the same material by cut
ling the threads in any desired length and
looking them double into every stitch of
the last row, drawing the ends through the
loop. This gives rug which is serviceable,
pretty, easily made and costs nothing but
an occasional leisure hour.-Agnes Rosen-

tions for fine dress are circumscribed by
