The value of Professor Muller's life WORK
cannot be even approximately estimated
by the ordinary man, and the enormous
amount of labor it has involved is beyond
Observation-Disclosures beyond belief. Almost
ever, body knows something about him,
but very few know much. He has grown
so great that men have lost sight of his be-
ginnings, and when, as quite frequently
happens, the press announces that some
new decoration or degree has been conferred
upon him, or that he has been elected fell
low of some additional learned society, a
knowledge of his past is always apparently
taken for granted, though there are not
many who can pretend to have it.
It was recently said of Professor Muller
that if he should pin upon his coat ali the
decorations and medals he has received he
would sta: ,,ger beneath their weight. This
seems like estimating honors by avoirdu-

Origin Of Bangs.

The bang is one of the latest innovations
among women and girls. 1t had its origin
in the reformatory for girls on Blackwell's
island, New York. The inmates were in
the habit of getting away, and it was diff
cult to recognize them after changing their
apparel. 1t was first suggested to crop
them, but this was considered too sweep
ing. The bang was then adopted, and it
was perfect mark. For some reason or
other the style struck the popular fancy.
and in the course of few years after its
adoption as mark in the reformatory be-
came one of the fads of fashion.-Pitts-
burg Commercial Gazette.

Covering Old Blankets.

Almost all old housckeepers have a store
Of blankets which, having been in use for
many years, have become thin and yellow
from washing. They would make most
useful summer coverings but for their
ugly color. Now very little expense will
make them decidedly pretty and an addi-
ton to ones comfort on cool nights, not to
be too much commended. Get enough
cheese cloth, pale blue or pink, to cover
the blanket on both sides, some blue or
pink zephyr wool to buttonhole the edges,
and tie the cover through the blanket, in'
terlining from side to side, and you have
oil you need except big darning needle.
Run the widths of cheese cloth together
till they form two pieces little larger
than the blanket, turn in the edges and
buttonhole the three thicknesses together
all around the square with stitches half an
inch apart. Next thread the darning-
needle with the zephyr doubled, and put it
through from one side to the other and
back again, tying the wool in light knot
and leaving short fluffy ends to form a
tiny tassel at equal distances in squares all
over the cover.
They are prettily made of contrasting
colors, pink one side and blue the other.

black wool. The most inexperienced per-

Women and Library Work.


Three hundred and eighty women are

The Way to Boil Eggs.

One woman land her household ways are
the wonder and envy of her friends) says
that the right way to boil eggs is not to
boil them at all.
First put the eggs into wire basket
with tall wire handle, that saves the
time and vexation of fishing them out with
o spoon when cooked. Then set the nest
of eggs in a kettle or other vessel, with
cold water enough to cover the eggs-not
hot water or warm water, but cold water.
Set the vessel over brisk fire. Do not let
the water boil, only just ''come to boil, -
and at that particular time-not before,
not later-the eggs will be cooked as they
should be.
Remove the basket of eggs by the tall
handle. Spread a napkin over a deep
dish, lay in the eggs and fold the four cor
ners of the napkins over them and serve.
If these directions are followed exactly
the eggs when broken will roll into the
cups like balls of soft jelly. nothing adher-
ing to the shell; the entire egg thoroughly
cooked and delicate and tender through
and through.

Air in the Children's Bedrooms.


The ventilation of betlchamber cannot
be too carefully attended to, and, as says
Horace Mann. ''seeing the atmosphere is
forty miles deep all around the globe, it il
a useless piece Of economy to breathe it
more than once" Yet nine mothers out Of
ten will carefully close all the windows for
fear of colds and night mir, and leave two
or three children asleep in u sitting atmos-
phere and see no connection between the
colds and throat troubles they have and
the vitiatcd air she compels them to
breathe night after night. Let the morn
ing air and sunshine into the bedroom az
coon as possible after the occupants have
risen. and if there is no sunshine and it is
not raining, let in the air. Do not make
up beds too soon after they are vacated.
You may get your house tidied sooner, but
it is neither clearly nor healthy to snugly
pack up be.lclothing until the exhalations
of the sleepers' bodies have been removed
by exposure to the air.-Exchange.

Helmets Indeed.

The wives of members of the sacred and
medical professions have Il different career
from those of their sisters who marry the
man, and not his vocation. These women
arc expected to do much that is not exacted
from any other women, and the wife, eS-
peciaily of the clergyman, lives always in
"that fierce light which beats upon a
throne;" for she and her family are claimed
as the property of the congregation as thor
oughly as ever sovereign became the pos
session of nation. The mistress of the
manse' needs to he woman of rare char
acter and strong health to fulfill all that
is expected of her. and it would be wei!
were she also endowed with that serenity
of temperament which is the best armor of
defense, and which forbids the use of offell-
sive weapons.
The physicians wife has also unusual
claims upon her time, though in a lesser de-
gree, and the imperative telephone and the
charity patients often absorb her precious
moments, while in addition she has the
wifely anxiety of seeing her poor tired hus-
band awakened from his belated slumbers
to go Oh nocturnal errands
Maud Muller sighed for the silken gown

There is no danger that the real mean

observance as the years go by.

country, loyalty, these are
the noble teachings which Memorial day
emphasizes upon young and old alike.
