Hints for the Home.

Keep flowers fresh by putting a
pinch of soda in the water.
Boil the clothes-line and it will not
"kink," as a new rope is apt to do.
Keep small box filled with lime in
your pantry and cellar; it will keep
the air dry and pure.
Soda is the best thing for cleaning
tinware; apply with damp cloth and
rub well, then wipe dry.
Prick potatoes when baking so that
the air can escape. This will prevent
their bursting in the oven.
For sore throat, beat the white of an
egg stiff with all the sugar it will hold
and the juice of one lemon.
When baking cakes set dish of
water in the oven with them and they
will not be in any danger from scorch-
ing.
Grease spots that have burnt and
become hard on the stove may be re-
moved by few drops of kerosene oil
on the cloth before rubbing them.
TO clean stove, zinc or Zinc-lined
bathtub, mix ammonia and whiting
to smooth paste; apply it to the
zinc and let it dry; then rub OFF until
no dust remains.
A teaspoonful of alum will make
clear four gallons of muddy water.
Boiling the water Is necessary to re-
move disease germs when farm pump
or town reservoir has bad name.
Vinegar bottles may be cleaned with
crushed egg shells in little water.
Crude Oil, according to painter, is
excellent to wipe woodwork and fur
niture with. Wipe off with clean
cloth.
When your face and ears burn so
terribly battle them in very hot water,
as hot as you can bear. This will be
more apt to cool them than any cold
application.
For an aching tooth, saturate a
piece of cotton with ammonia and lay
it on the tooth; or try oil of saSsafras,
applying it frequently.
To freshen black kid gloves, mix
teaspoonful of salad oil with few
drops of black ink; apply with a
feather and dry in the sun.
For THE HAIR.-To prevent the
hair from falling out or turning gray,
take a teacupful of dried sage and
boil it in quart of soft water for
twenty minutes; strain it OIL and add
piece of boraX the size of an English
walnut; pulverize the borax. Put the
sage tea, when cool, into quart bot
tie; add the borax; shake well to-
gether and keep in cool place. Brush
the hair thoroughly and rub the wash
well on the head with the hand.
Then, after a good hard rubbing,
brush the hair well before the fire so
it will become dry.

beat the nerves in the prompt trans
mission of thought or feeling.
In the brain is the seat of life, i'm
the brain is the handspring of all the
nerve forces. 1t has been we'll de-
scribed as storage battery or power
house, which supplies every nerve and
fibre of the body with vitality or cleo
tricity to perform their functions.
The brain is the governor or general of
the whole body, and it has supreme
authority over every part Of it. 1t di-
rectly controls the heart, although
the reverse has long been believed to
be the case. 1t governs every bone
and muscle in the system, not one of
which could move without its sane
tion, and every part of the body is sub
ject to its will.
This being the case it cannot fail to
be interesting to know something of
the construction and mission of this
remarkable controller of 50 many mar
velOus organs. BY the aid of accom-
panying diagrams we are able to show
how the brain directs and supervises
the rest of the human body.
The actual seat of life, the point
from which the vitality of our whole
system emanates, is situated in the
upper part of the spinal cord, at the
base of the brain. (See Fig) 1t will
be seen also that from that point be-
gins the spinal cord, which runs down.

A Most Unusual Occurrence.
She was an amateurish wife

She was an amateurish wife
With duties great before her,
And just three months of married life
Had happily passed DER her.
In all important household arts
And small domestic duties,
She strove to shine in many parts
Like all young married beauties
She knew the lot of most young wives
No matter how good-looking,
And how their husbands marred their lives
By sneers about their cooking.
She'd heard and read of many men
The heads OF modern houses,
Who gave their mothers" now and then
AS cooking guides" for spouses
Perhaps she had expected this
In her ambitious buildings,
And guessed he'd think her quite amiss
In making pies and puddings
No doubt she thought the bread she'd bake
Would surely be berated,
And that he'd never eat her cake
She quite anticipated
So when to keeping house they came
In some suburb or other,
She feared her cooking would proclaim
The knowledge Of his mother
Contrasted with her ignorance
His sheer she greatly dreaded,
And almost wished that, by some chance,
To him she was not welded.
Her trial came; she made lot
OF pastry for the dinner,
Her husband praised it on the spot
Ate like a greedy sinner,
And said, my dear your pastry far
Excels that made by mother,
Indeed your pies and buildings are
Not equalled by another!"
Here suppose the reader will
Expect the young wife kissed him.
And to her proof of pastry skill
Once more wished to assist him.
But truth requires that no such scene
Should here be glibly painted,
The fact is that she gave scream
And straightaway she tainted! G. S. j.

OF all the machines the world has
ever seen, the most elaborate, compli-
Gated and intricate could not compare
with the machinery of the human sys-
TEN.
1t is not given to man to devise
any structure more complex, more mi
mute in its particles, more varied in
it's accomplishments than his own
mortal body. The tiniest and most
delicate watch that the skilled watch
maker can turn out is rough and I'M
couth work compared with the won
derful mechanism of the human brain,
for instance.
1t will well repay the reader to
study in connection with this article
the accompanying semi-phrenological
chart, in which he will notice that
the human head is carefully mapped
out, with the various senses and Or
gans properly indicated in their re-
Spective locations. 1t will be seen at
glance that every part of the body is
directly controlled by the brain. The
limbs and various organs are governed
by it. Every motion of every muscle
emanateS from headquarters in the
brain. The seat of intellect, that is
the understanding or thinking and
reasoning part of man, is located
across the front part of the brain.
The other senses, such as sight, hear
ing, taste, touch and smell, occupy
positions in the rear of the intellect,
as do also the mainsprings of motion.
All these are in direct communication
and sympathy with each other. They
are in harmonious accord and assist
one another in the performance of
their respective functions.
For instance, when in conversation
with a person, it is not merely the
tongue or organ of speech that is en-
ployed. The intellect or understand
ing is engaged, the sense of hearing is
concentrated upon what your com.
panion may be saying, the eyes arc
usually fixed upon him, and his or
you, you move your arms, hands OF
facial muscles by way of gesture OF
expression, and all these acts are done
at one and the same time, though
prompted by different senses under
one government.
First of all, external impressions
are telegraphed, as it were, through
the mediums of the ear or eye to the
seat Of intellect, and orders are imme
diately dispatched from there, b!

Laura's Little Brother.

members of my own SEX | was a man
after her own heart once, but didn't
get it. She discouraged me so much
that | couldn't take heart at all. Sew

sufficient to say that Eddie is small
boy and has tongue. Also facility

constructions on whatever he may

When Mr.. Golightly called the other
evening and was shown into the par
lor, Eddie sauntered shyly in before
the visitor had time to seat himself in
an imposing attitude. He looked
wistfully at the caller for some mo-
ments and then said gravely, "Aint

line of the whole nervous system.
From it diverge the different nerves
that supply the heart, stomach, liver,
kidneys, bowels, etc, with their vital
forces. These nerves are in the form
of delicate white strings or filaments,
and are to the organs of the body eX-
actly what telegraph lines are between
different cities-a means OF prompt
communication.
No matter what muscle or organ of
the body becomes in any way affected
the news is promptly transmitted to
the brain and other organs are liable
to be affected through sympathy.
This is well exemplified and perhaps
more lucidly explained in the cut
showing the relation of the eye to the
sense of hearing and the organ of
speech on another part of this
page. 1t must be generally conceded
that the clearer one understands his
mechanism the better will he or she
be able to know what is the matter
with them when they are sick AS it
is, people often have symptoms of seri-
GUS diseases, which they treat lightly,
if at ALL because they do not compre-
bend fully the Importance of these
disease indications, and, as they do not
realize the danger, they neglect the
trouble until it is often too late. With
better knowledge of their own con-
struction and susceptibility to diseases
they would take far more precautions
in the early stage of their trouble and
thus prevent its dangerous increase.
Thus, an irritation of the optic
nerve or organ of sight may influence
the rest of the nerves in greaterNor
lesser degree, but unless this truth is
we'll understood, ordinary doctors
would be more likely to treat the visi-
BILE effect rather than the unseen
cause, and might endeavor to cure
result instead of searching out the ORR
gin Of the trouble and remedylng
that.
These remarks may convey popu-
lar idea of how extremely difficult it
is to successfully treat nervous dis
eases unless one is thoroughly well
grounded in the construction of the
nervous system, and has had practi-
cal experience in the causes of disease
and also their cure. On this subject
"a little knowledge is truly danger
Gus thing" particularly for the pa
tient, and failure to cure is confes-
sion of ignorance on the part of the

For example, as you read these lines,
Just move the toes of your right or
left foot The movement you find will
be simultaneous with your thinking
about it. No sooner does the brain
express it's wish to have that motion
made than the desire is telegraphed to
the particular organ and the motion is
apparently spontaneous with the COM
mand. 1t is the same with any other
organ or muscle. The will power in
the brain no sooner issues its request
for motion than the behest is obeyed.

But if the masses of the people can
only be induced to know more about
themselves; if they can be persuaded
to desire little learning on the sub
ject of the brain and its vast impor-
tance, not only as the region OF
thought and understanding, but as
the direct controller of every muscle
and function of the body, a great step
would be taken towards rendering
harmless many diseases that are now
constant menace to the general
health, but whose origin is too little

ChiIdren's Parties.

Mrs Hanak gave a Christmas party
in honor of her little niece, Miss Irene
Smith, of New York
The children all wrote their own re-
plies to the invitations and many of
them were very clever little produc-
tons.
A Punch and Judy show was the
chief source of delight to the guests,
and they awaited with impatience the
drawing aside of the curtains, which,
covered with paper dolls as they were,
would ordinarily have proven most at
tractive. Then when the queer little
figures disported themselves in true
Punch and Judy style, the joy Of the
audience was unbounded.
There was also wonderful Christ
mas tree and dinner that left nothing
to be wished for. When the children
left they were the possessors Of much
priced souvenirs-the girls oil bon bon
boxes, from each of which peeped a
tiny doll; the boys Punch and Judy
toys.
The little guests were: Helen Banl-
berger, Stella Cohn, Elsie Cohn, Reta
Kahn, Emma Simon, Helen Cohn,
Daisy Kuhn, Eta Hadra, Clarence
Bamberger, Arthur Hol1ander, Louie
Hadra, Julian Bamberger, Gerald ST.
mon, Earl Seigel and Milton Cohn.

This was the first afternoon the club
spent on the study of French history,
and as the succeeding topics will be as
excellent, the members anticipate many
pleasant hours conversing with noted
French women and men and visiting
the principal cities of France.
The first paper was read by Miss
Josephine e. kellogg on France From
the Dawn of its History to the
Capets."
Mrs. Monahan reviewed the domestic
news and Mrs Coray read a short but
very interesting article, which showed
the prominent changes which have oc-
CURED throughout the world during
the year 1894.
Miss Moore called attention to the
foreign news.
Recess was taken for ten minutes,
after which Miss Alice Kellogg reviewed
the Review of Reviews; the prin-
cipal subjects were: "Adolph Sutro,
Mayor elect of San Francisco" Alex
ander III" a tribute to the late car
by W. It. Stead; and ''On the Thresh-
old of Universal Peace.

Frenchmen were given, as follows
