A Convenient Kitchen Essential.

There are many houses that have not suf-
ficient storage space for the articles in reg
ular use, and as a natural consequence the
back door and yard are fringed with uten-
sis, boxes, barrels and rubbish of various
sorts, all necessary to have at hand, but for
which there is no suitable provision in the
way of puttng-away places, 1t would be
a matter of decided economy in time and
strength, if not absolute cash, to build
either a commodiOus extension or provide
a detached building adjacent to the house
for such purpose. Shelves, pantries,
hooks and racks should be arranged and
each should have its allotted place, with
an imperative requirement that it always
be found there.
There are many houses where the space
is so contracted that one must carry up
stairs or down the cellar many of the arti-
cles in common use, and there is no more
killing work for the housekeeper than this.
No one who has not tried 1t can imagine
the tax on the strength and the addition to
the burden of life which is imposed by this
lack of convenience. OF course, it may be
said that with limited means one can not
make the necessary provision III building,
but this Is not in any sense valid excuse
At least something should be done to save
steps for the housekeeper, who is in many
instances the mother of the family and does
her work without assistance.-New York

Encouragement For Boys.

1t very often happens that a boy has to
be busy with work of some kind when he
really wants to read and become educated
Now, this desire for education is a splendid
thing in Il boy. Indeed, there is nothing in
the world that is any better But it often
happens that a boy is prevented by circum-
stances from doing that which would seem
to be the best thing for him.
Here is word of encouragement to such
boys. Read all you can in the best papers
and magazines. Pick up scraps of infor-
nation about people and things and make
them your own, so that you will remem-
Der them. Some day your knowledge
picked up little by little, will be very ex-
tensive, and you will find that you compare
very favorably with boys who have had
much better chances for education than
yourself. Console yourself with the thought
that some of the best work in the world
has been done under very trying circum-
stances
Sir Walter Raleigh wrote his History Of
the World" during his II years imprison-
ment. And who knows but you, during
your years of work, when you would like
TO enjoy years of study and recreation, may
be laying the foundation of some piece of
work as great as any Sir Walter Raleigh
ever did'-Detroit Free Press.

How unconcerned she tries to look while
the fruitless search goes on, and how she
strives to appear calm and unembarrassed,
while her face turns red and the perspira-
ton starts out of every pore-if it happens
to be warm weather.
Then in sheer desperation she stands up
and finds the truant pocket, and presently
the purse is produced and the fare paid.
Every eye is gazing upon her-not with i'm
pudence, oh, no! but simply because the
passengers have nothing else to do, and the
least thing concerning one passenger inter
ests the others.
| wonder why sensible women--or at least
they seem sensible in other things than
dress-calmly submit to being made the
victims of fashion? Why have they not
sufficient independence to say: 81 don't

Youth Has Had Its Day.

Never till the present time had woman
such a golden opportunity for revealing, as
Noltaire remarks, in the decline of her
beauty the charm of her intellect. Never
was the sphere of middle aged woman wild
er. We have abolished the generic term of
odd maid" and substituted that of the
woman with rights" with mission, ="
with work" Tame marveled over the
numbers of unmarried women he found in
the quiet provincial towns and in the dull
country neighborhoods of England. We do
not waste them in converts; we use them
in philanthropy, education, politics, art
and even, in a left handed way, the church.
whereunto modern dress assists,
We have abolished the ringlcts and white
muslin and blue ribbons sacred to maiden
hood, as well as the caps of middle ages
These latter, thanks to the advances made
by the artist in hair, will soon become as
extinct as the turbans our grandmothers
wore at the Georgian jubilee. Bonnets
will probably share the same fate, for hats
are simultaneously worn by three genera
tions. Mothers and daughters dress alike,
aiming not at maintaining an appearance
of perennial youth, but of preserving that
of an eternal middle age.-llearth and

4 Mothers Reflections.

The housewife who wishes to save her
best kitchen towels will do well to provide
number of coarser towels made from
twilled brown cotton crash to use about
the stove and in handling pots and pans.
The best towels for silver and china are of
linen, either plaided or striped. 1t is best
not to buy the heaviest quality as it is
some time before they become pliable
enough to absorb water readily. A fine
quality of Russian crash is durable and
much liked for other kitchen towels. For
kitchen hand towels n good quality of cot
ton and linen is pleasanter to the hands
and dries them better than the coarser
qualities of Russian crash.
OF bed and bathroom towels the variety
is so great as to prove quite bewildering.
Damask towels are more pleasing to the
eye than useful, though every housekeeper
buys them for her towel rack, to divide the
honor with those of fine birdseye linen. A
good quality of huckabuck is, however,
preferred for ordinary use by those who
like towel that absorb the water quickly
and gently stimulates the skin. Those
with hemstitched are liked better than
those with fringed edges For the bath
room there are very rough and large Rus
sian towels, the Turkish towels of many
qualities and most reasonable in price, the
imperial towels, which take up the water
almost as readily as n sponge, and towels
made from linen tape.-New York Post.

In Montaignes eyes the object of educa-
ton is to form boys character and pre-
pare him for life, and to fill him not SO
much with learning as with the desire of
learning, with an honest curiosity for in
formation about everything" This sounds
perhaps obvious and commonplace, but the
seed which Montague sowed three centu-
ries ago has, it must be confessed, fallen
on stony ground. There are a large num-
Der of persons concerned with education at
the present day who, If they have equipped
a boy with II sufficient stock of learning to
enable him to pass an examination, fold
their hands and think that they have done
all that is needful. / will quote two aph-
orisms which Montaigne has left us, Every
abridgment of a good book is foolish
abridgment," and Learning in one man $
hand is a scepter; in anothers S, a bauble. -

Strange as it may seem, many of the lit
tie playful acts with which fathers, moth
ers and grownup friends are wont to amuse
the little ones have tendency to prove
disastrous That old nursery trick of lift
ing the little one up 'to see London town"
by taking the childs head between the
open palms has produced in many instances
very serious results. Further even than
this, it is the experience of nurses and physi-
clans that many little tricks and turns, the
dandling and jumping SO dear to the hearts
of all little children are fraught with dam
ger and should be avoided, as, all unwit-
ting, the person who thinks he may be
bringing the child q temporary pleasure is
doing so at the risk of inflicting upon it
lasting injury.
The result is an immense amount of
physical deformity due solely to improper
methods of nurturing young children and
to good natured though thoughtless hand
ling of children while youngest. Louis

When there is n boy Of this description
and of really good influence in neighbor-
hood it is q good thing for the community
as parents can feel safe regarding their
young hopefuls, who are having real fun
and practical instruction at the same time
Just from contact with an associate, whose
influence counteracts that of idler boys,
who usually seek unworthy amusements.
Most children have amused themselves
with toy windmils cut from n square of
paper or card and mounted on pin, but
perhaps few have made cardboard serpents
for placing in currents of hot air. These
require some care, and sometimes a second
trial to make them work well, but little
perseverance, and some ingenuity will &C
complish very pretty results.
Cut out n circle from cardboard and mark
the center. Then draw a spiral line lead
ing from point near the center around and
around until it reaches the circum. Seyence.
When this is evenly drawn, cut along the
spiral line so that when supported at the
center the rest of the card will hang like
the coils of a snake. The center may be
pierced and pivoted on Il pin and stuck
above a hot radiator or suspended by
thread over the stove. a powerful current
of ascending hot air will cause one of these
coils to revolve rapidly when it is properly
balanced.
After succeeding in perfecting simple
one, various notifications of the same idea
may be attempted. One form is shown in
the cut, which is made of heavy white cord,
ornamented by miniature evergreen tree
in the center at the top and some bright
paper toboggan figures mounted along
down the spiral slope so as to have their
trihng weight properly balanced. This
makes a winter coasting scene as natural in
appearance as possible, Another sugges-
ton is to color one of these coils like
snake with pastel or paint, and at one end
or the other paste on a head cut from paper
and colored like the spiral, turning it up
vertically, as the head will show in profile
when revolving.

Mothers, one and ALL if you desire your
little sons and daughters to be popular with
the adult guests who visit your house, take
warning; do not let them swoop down upon
your friends directly they enter your house
and continue to be in evidence during the
entire period of their stay. 1t may sound
cruel and unkind, but it will pay in the
end, Tor, no matter how kind hearted a
man or gushing a woman may be, they will
very soon tire of a course of infantle con-
versaton, attentions and pastimes, and in
order to keep your friends you must let
them see the children only at such rare in
tervals that they will learn to appreciate
their society.-Philadelph Times
