THE SIN OF FRETTING.
Helen Hunts Famous Little Sermon O
the Subject.

deien Hunts Famous Little Sermon on
the Subject.
There is one sin which it seems to
me is everywhere, and by everybody is
underestimated and quite too much
overlooked in valuations of character.
1t is the sin of fretting. 1t is as COM
mon as air, as speech-so common that
unless 1t rises above its usual monotone
we do not even observe 1t. Watch any
ordinary coming together of people and
we see how many minutes 1t will be
before somebody frets-that is, makes
more or less complaining statement of
something or other, which most prob
ably everyone in the room or the car
or on the street corner knew before,
and which most probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about 1t? 1t
is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry,
somebody has broken an appointment,
ill-cooked a meal; stupidity or bad
faith somewhere has resulted in dis
comfort. There are plenty of things
to fret about. 1t is simply astonish-
ing how much annoyance and discom-
fort may be found in the course of
every days living, even at tho
simplest, if one only keeps a sharp eye
out on that side of things. Even Holy
Write says we are born to trouble as
sparks fly upward. But even to the
sparks flying upward, in the blackest
of smoke, there is blue sky above,
and the less time they waste on the
road the sooner they will reach it.
Fretting is all time wasted on the
road.-Helen Hunt.

A back, the same shape, is made from

hang-by and some faint suspicion of

add to its decorative charms. Square

TREATMENT OF COLDS.
Valuable Instructions Furnished by an
Eminent Physician.

Instructions Furnished by an
Eminent Physician.
The season of colds being at hand,
the instructions of an eminent ply,
sician may be found valuable. When
the first symptoms manifest themselves
is the time for action, and this should
consist of a hot mustard foot-bath be-
fore going to bed and hot draught OF
milk. The covering of the body
should be linen and wool, the former
in the way of the sheet and the lat
ter in the blanket. No attempt to
get up an active sweating should be
made. The foot bath and the warm
drink will give a sense of warmth and
facilitate the natural eXcretion of
materials which should pass away by
the skin, and any effort to aggra-
vate this will be not only superiuous,
but harmful. The blanket should nev-
er be worn next to the night robe, and
should not be so thick as to confine the
air next to the body. 1t is, indeed,
often advisable to tighten the cover
ing of the feet, and preserve certain
amount of weight over the loins, and
to have the shoulders protected from
the external surroundings in general.
The last measure is not to be under
rated. A sensitive lung carries with
it susceptibility to take to itself every
thing that could possibly affect it to
its detriment. Lung diseases belong to
sensitive persons, and may or may not
be the sequence of a cold. The major
ity of them, however, can be traced to
imprudence in dress and exposure

the new fans, as all the New York

have had every kind of fans, big and

pompadour fans, lace fans, ivory fans,
ostrich feather fans with tortoise shell

considered unlucly by the supersti-
tious-Turllish fans, Spanish fans
coquettish as the darlS-eyed senoritas
who welded them, and turkey-tail fans
q la Comanche bellies. This season we
are to have the game fan made from the
feathers of the hawk, owl, eagle,
prairie-hen, anything that the sports
man may bag The wing feathers will
form the demi-circle of the fan, and
the soft fuzzy plumage of the breast

the plumage from the trophies of the
game bag, the hunter takes them to
jeweler and has them mounted, or if
you have fan-frame you can utilize,
you can mount them yourself, and
have pretty souvenir. The. hand
soonest and most suitable mounting is
some foreign wood, such as sandal or
olive wood. If you want silver mono
gram enscrolled, the jeweler will as

One form of biscuit glace, very SIM

of cream whipped to froth, dozen
and half macaroons, three eggs, half
cupful of water, two-thirds of a cup
full of sugar, teaspoonful of vanilla
extract (the cup used in the ordinary
kitchen cup holding half pint. Boil
sugar and water together for half an
hour. Beat the eggs well and stir into
the boiling sirup Place the saucepan
containing the mixture in another Of
boiling water and heat for eight min
utes. Take from the fire, place the
saucepan in cold water and beat the
mixture until cold; then add the flavor
and whipped cream. Stir well and
nearly fill the paper cases; brown the
macaroons and roll fine. Put layer
of the crumbs on the cream in the cases
and place these in a large tin box,
buried in two quarts of salt to six of
ice; let them remain there two hours.
1t is excellent to add a pint of straw
berry sherbet putting little on each

half an hour, the biscuit glace is ready
