Another picturesque sight is the washing.
This is done in the streams which run through
or near the towns. The women carry a huge
basket OF clothes on their heads, and knee rest
aud washboard in their hands. Arrived at the
stream they set or tumble down the basket,
kneel at the edge of the stream, and place the
dashboard. Then follows such a pounding

Occupation For the Invall DIS,

Many invalids have days or hours of COM
parative freedom from pain, and nothing
but weakness prevents them from entering
INTO the labors or ~recreations of the other
members of the household. If at these
times they can be given certain work or
pleasures such as Others enjoy, the sick
room will be flooded with sunshine, the re-
%nembrance or anticipation of which will
tighten many dark hours Of pain.
Work for others gives a special pleasure,
Tor it lessons the feeling of helplessness
which is most hard to bear. Care should
be taken by those selecting such occupa-
lions to choose simple work-that which

Making Ones Self Agreeable.

Had l a daughter ~ train, saidn woman
of the world, one accomplishment above all
should be taught her-to make herself
agreeable without descending to make fun
OF other people. Much, II not most, Of the
fun current a,nong young folks consists of
picking others to pieces.
Bright people are given to use their wit
very freely upon others who have the mis-
fortune to come near them. Women espe.
cially regard the world outside their imme-
date circle US created to afford them amuse-
ment not of the most amiable kind. They
are not discriminating enough to see what
underlies and offsets the popularity which
provokes their fun.

dens her critics would shirk shamelessly.

laugh and laugh again unheeding.-Ex.

Care Of the Nails.

s first to soak the finger tips in warm water
Eor a few minutes, then press back with TIE
Plunt end of the file the cuticle which
grows over the base of the nail and snip it
Pf with the points of the scissors. This
must be done with care not to mutilate the
Ikin. Every trace of dirt should be re-
moved with a nailbrush and hot water and
Eoap, and the nails cut close at the sides,
put left rather long in the middle, not
pointed, but rounded into the desired Ill
BERT shape. Next the edges Of the nails
Fhould be filed smooth, when y little bit Of

The Room and the Homo.

The divine law Of harmony that perme.
ates all nature is the onefundamentai prin.
ciple upon which it is safe to build, and
wherever it is disregarded confusion is sure
to result. No one thing should ever be pur.
chased for itself alone. Its relation to the
room as a whole, it, part in the protected
scheme, its Suitability to the use requfred,
its adaptability as a factor-all are points to
be studied and considered; and then when
such requirements are found and intrinsic
beauty Is added as IN extra charm rather
than as an aggressive first thought success
will be attained, and a we'll nigh perfect Sc.
lection will be made. -ExchanRe.

served.
With mutton, serve rice, peas, potatoes,
