Teaching Children Languages,

One of the common sense ideas of the
period is for those who can afford the lux
ury of nursemaid to hire one who speaks
either German or French ahd stipulato
that to her small charges she shall speak
nothing else but her native tong~o. 1t is
astonishing how rapidly children will pick
up languages in this way. 1t gives them,
too, the correct pronunciation right from
the beginning and simplifies the study Of
languages when the child starts to school.
There are great many mothers who are
fair linguists, who could teach their little
ones other languages while they are about
home just by talking to them In other
than their native tongue, but 1T does not
seem to occur to them that 1t Is the thing
TO do. Yet 1t would probably save the
child many weary hours of study II 1t were
done. One Of the prettiest sights l re-
member is calling on my sewing woman
one day to find her busy at my gown,
and her two daughters, one 10, the other
IL, studying their lessons at her side. The
eldest daughter was reading her history
lesson aloud in French, and her mother
correcting her pronunciation; the other
daughter was coming her English gram
mar in German, of which her mother had
also fair knowledge. Yet I learned that
neither of the girls had ever studied either
language day in their lives, except in
the way mentioned I found, however,
that they could carry on q very fair CONVEX
sation in both languages.-NeW York Mai

Arc Lights,

One advantage which electric arc
lights have on several occasions
been pointed out to possess over all
other means of illumination is that
they give off very large proportion
of chemical rays and accordingly
closely simulate the effects of sun
light. Dark rooms, cellars and other
places into which sunlight does not
come, and which are usually I'M
healthful, may therefore be expected
to become quite as desirable from Il
sanitary point of view and to be as
easily protected from foulness when
arc lights are used in them as rooms
to which sunlight has free access.
In dark stores and other establish
ments the introduction of arc lights
ought consequently to have decid-
eddy beneficial effect upon the health
of employees, and should relieve
them to a considerable extent from
the attacks of diseases produced by
want of sunlight A practical dem
onstration of this power of the arc
light can readily be obtained by re-
manning for short time in close
proximity to large light, when it
will be found that all the effects of
sunburn will be produced CasseWs

Fried Food.

: Mrs. Ewing Of culinary and dietetic
fame raises the embargo on fried food. She
does not think that perfectly" fried food
Is any less healthful than broiled or roast
cd or food done by any other method. But
she lays great stress on the qualification
I'perfeotly.
Fried food has undoubtedly gained its
bad reputation by the great amount of
poorly fried food that is offered. Broiled
ham, steak, chops and the rest are the de-
light of the epicure's soul, but 1t is posi-
BILE to cook all these in frying pan in
q way to deceive and satisfy the most crit
ioal taste. Only few nights ago New
York husband who Is nothing If not a
gourmet ate and pronounced perfect some
chops that had been fried, in an emer-
gency, over a gas stove. His wife had
done them, and it was with a quiet smile
that she received her husbands verdict
that lit takes intelligence to broil chop
to turn"
II felt like telling him 1t takes intelli-
gence to fry chop OF anything else, -
she said In telling of the success OF her
ruse THE mistake usually made in any
sort of frying Is that the skillet OF perhaps
the fat is not hot enough when the food Is
put in, and it SINNERS and stews and be-
comes saturated with grease before 1t be-
gins to cook. In frying anything like
can be well done by having the skillet
very hot as 1t is put In and by watching
constantly, turning over and over as the

telligent of its kind, whose scientific
name is formica rubra. About forty
ants out of 500 stepped out and joined
the leader. The general and his aids
held a council and then proceeded to
examine a circle of molasses. Certain
portions of it seemed TO be assigned to
the different ants, and each selected
unerringly the points in the section un.
der his charge where the stream of mo-
lasses was narrowest. Then the leader
made his tour of inspection. The Or
der to march was given, and the ants
all made their way to hole in the
wall, at which the plastering was loose.
Here they broke ranks and set about
carrying pieces of plaster to the place
in the molasses which had been agreed
upon as the narrowest. To and fro
they went from the nail hole to the mo-
lasses, until, at IL: 30 O'Clock, they had
thrown bridge across. Then they
formed themselves in line again and
marched over, and by Il: 45 every ant
of the foraging expedition was con-
tentedly eating pie.-Rocky Mountain

Cleaning Carpets.

Ingram rugs and even brussels squares
may be much improved by the following
process: After the rug has been thoroughly
beaten 1t should be spread on clean, bare
floor Wash with soap and hot water,
using a new small scrubbing brush, the
spots that are most soiled, even going all
over the surface If possible. Wipe off the
soap places with a clean cloth wrung out
of hot water and then with other dry
cloths The best soap is OK gall, which is
SO cleansing. After the carpet has been
cleaned in this way open the windows and
keep off from it for day or SO. The i'm
proyement will pay for the hard work.

What Dreams May Come.

Haunting me ever, there comes and goes
A line from old songs tender close,
Its burden the sweetest-the saddest, too,
For the altered lives 1t has echoed through
" Love, had you loved me-" the words are few,
But through them an infinite passion flows.
" Love, had you loved me -; perhaps the key
To many grief this thought may be;
To sorrow that stirs at the magic strain
And steps from its prison, barred in vain,
To crush with the old, relentless pain
The heart that has guarded it faithfully.
All. fondest and truest whose brown eyes shine
with the tenderest lovelght, am thine
Forever. thou heart of my heart-and yet
The breath of an April violet
Wakens longing, deep regret
For eyes as blue, that were never mine.
" Love, had you loved me-" what life would be
Attuned to that passionate melody
Sad hearts unbest that must still repine
For the draught of Loves rich wine,
Bitter the memories that haunt this line
Of" Love, had you loved me-" so mournfully.

An Army Builds a Bridge to Get Pie.

The following story, told by an eye
witness, is entitled to place among
the instances of intelligence among the
lower animals. A cook was annoyed to
find his pastry shelves attacked by ants.
By careful watching it was discovered
that they came out twice day in search
of food, at about seven in the morning
and four in the afternoon. How were
the pies to be protected against the in-
vaders? He did not have long to wait,
for at 6: so O'Clock he noticed that off
in the left-hand corner of the pantry
was line of ants slowly making their
way in the direction of the pies. They
seemed like vast army coming forth
to attack an enemy. In front was a
leader, who was larger than any of the
others, and who always kept little
ahead of his troops. They were of the
sort known as the medium-sized red
ant, which is regarded as the most in

Aping Americanisms.

"Society rules are changing or becom-
ing Americanized in London" says an OBJ
serving American woman. Girls are al
lowed to promenade or shop alone morn
ings and afternoons, but there must al
ways be chaperon for evenings. Whereas
English girls were formerly noted for their
charmingly modulated voices, some of them
are striving now to make American in
tonation fashionable. English girls say
their men are constantly speaking of the
charmingly piquant tones of the American
girls voices" This flattering statement
is scarcely conceded in by the London
newspapers, in which there are continual
and scornful illusions to the Yankee
twang. Whether the above be true or not
we do not know, but we can picture our
English cousins as alert in their efforts to
find and emulate the American girl 5

A Sensible Woman,

The sensible woman goes away from
home for few weeks at least once year
She needs the relaxation, and the family
needs to get rid of her for time to be able
to appreciate her worth. Seeing new
places and new things brushes up the
mental forces and stimulates the ambi-
tions, all of which have run down in the
humdrum round of housewifcly duties,
which are combining and exacting. Then,
too, many woman who has gone away
from her homo thinking it narrow life
she was living and her horizon circum-
scribed has come back glad that she has a
home to come to and that it is so much
better than some that she has visited. We
get our ideas of values only by comparison
and often cheaper our own because we do
not know how rare thing we possess.

That Boy.

Oh. give me the boyish boyl That one
All tanned and red with the summers sun,
That smiling demon who dares to bake
His toughened hide by the cleaning lake;

And all his errors,
And all his hdeous glee
with all his speckles
And all his freckles.
The boyish boy give me.
Oh, give me the boyish boyl To hear
Once more the sound of his awful cheer
Were sweeter far than the song of art,
For its discord springs from an honest heart
Though grimed with dirt to his finger tips,
And "white lies d" trembling upon his lips,
with all his SHINING,
And all his grinning,
And wild demoniac glee;
With all his crying,
And all his lying
The boyish boy give me.
Oh. give me the boyish boy No wrong
Abounds in his young life, free and strong,
And he RACES forth in the morning light
With eager and dauntless Appetite;
Like the rushing wave of a coming i'll
He thunders across the life, but still
With all his racing.
And all his chasing
And all his hideous glee;
With all his speckles.
And all his freckles,

Like the thrills of JOY that Jingle when the buds of

But eager the glad world listens to the telling of 1t

And crowned with sweethearts kisses, joyful hearts

A Bathing Apron.

Wherever there is an infant there ought
to be bathing apron. The best one for
the purpose is double flannel one, with q
piece of rubber cloth between. Take two
yards OF soft flannel, scnnti1y gather ono
end Of flannel on band and sew four but
tons on the band. Extend the ends of band
sufficiently TO button around the waist;
also gather the other end of flannel scant-
lily and face. Work four buttonholos in
the facing to correspond with buttons in
the band Work buttonholes in one end
of tho rubber cloth, button this to the
band, then fold up the lower half of the
flannel and button this to the band also.
When necessary to launder, the rubber
cloth can easily be removed. Flannel is
preferable TO any other goods for such
aprons, as 1t readily absorbs moisture and
is not cold and clammy to the touch when
wet, as are cotton goods.-N. Y Dispatch.

Cabbage Daintily Prepared.

There is no country in the world in which
vegetables are used so much as in the Unit
cd States Yet there are many good house
keepers who do not know how to cook them
properly. will confess that cabbage is a
plebeian dish, but with proper attention it
Is possible to elevate it to higher rank.
AS usually cooked, cabbage is too heavy
for ordinary digestion. Try steaming 1T
until soft and serving 1t by pouring around
1t white sauce. The best way to make
this sauce is by melting spoonful of
butter, stirring smoothly into this the
same measure Of flour, pouring into the
mixture one pint Of milk and boiling un-
til thick. Season with salt and you will
hnd you have a dish as dainty as cauli-
fiower.-NeW York Commercial.
