Hot Water Rags.

When the india rubber hot-watcr bag is
as inexpensive as it is at present, it be-
comes almost a duty to possess one. The
water to fill them is always attainable,
and the comfort of the possession will
amply repay the expense. Frequently
more effectual manner than does any
medicine. A bag placed on the side of
the neuralgia face will cause the blood
to flow to that part and bring nOurishment
to the starving nerve. A fit of indigestion
may be overcome in a similar manner.
The weak heart may be assisted by a
very scantily filled bag being placed I'M
der the left arm, against. the side. In
the summer hotel on a rainy day it will
make one quite fearless of the half aired
sheet and chilly bed, and thereby ward
off that attack of the blues which cold
unreasonable summer weather often pro-
duces.
Then again, carefully concealed in it's
dark-colored bag, what comfortable
companion for long, cold country drive.
Always soothing, never contradictory, it
is actually a life-saving machine. The
writer remembers bringing up a mother
less puppy dog, with all inherited deli
cacy of constitution. with the sole assist
ance of a feeding bottle and hot water
bag. He throve in strength to the ex-
tent of demolishing most of his pre-
servers wardrobe, but he never meant
harm.
Many as are the blessings of the hot
water bottle, it must not be forgotten that
it is also a source of some danger. AL
ways see that the stopper is absolutely
tight, and never use it without Il thick
cover. Many a.painfnl hurn has been
given, especially to an unconscious pa
tent or an old person. In old age. the
ejaculation being weaker, the vitality
becomes low. A thick cover will keep
the water longer warm as we'll as insure
against burns. Filling the bag quite full
will also cause the heat to be retained for
a longer time, but will not be as comfort
able as when half full. When not in
use, the bag should be emptied.-E. l.

The leaders of fashion in Paris have de-
clared that pearls shall be- the most fash

Strings of fine pearls will be twisted in

The MANAGEMENT Of Servants.

Once in while there is veteran
housekeeper whose words are, so TO speak,
simply solid chunks of wisdom. and whose
experience is worth more than rubies
Such one as this, in recent discus
sion on the management Of help, said that
tho great trouble with most women was
that they managed their servants alto
gether too much. They were not satis-
fed with allowing them to 90 their own
way in anything. The great hue AMI
cry was why can't they do as they are
told! Some of these women appear TO
forget that good servant may have hasi
a good mistress before herself.
Every well-trained maid has acquired
methods that she much prefers to follow.
and should be allowed to do 30 unless
there are most stringent PERSONS for n
change. She will do better service. be
more c9ntented and the domestic machin-
cry will move much more smoothly than
when she is in perpetual dread of having
her ways questioned and her ideas upset.
1t is Il good plan to let her go her own
gait until her way of doing things are
tested. If they answer quite az we'll
and, indeed, were it not for the ecotism
of the mistress, it might he discovered that
they are sometimes very much better
then why not let her do as she likes al
ways provided that the object attained
is every way satisfactory.
When wonderland men. too. for the
matter of that-get over the idea that be-
cause the way is their way it is ueces-
sarily the best way. they will have
learned one of the fundamental truths
of peaceful and successful existence. It
is the notion of the supremacy of self that
makes half of the trouble in this CON
ceited world of ours and in nothing does
it cause more irritation than in the idea
that is ever kept before the minds of
people who perform service for us. that
our way is the only exact one.-New

The expression used in the headline has
long been in general use to describe hypo-

referred to several sources: one. believed

The Collecting Mania.

lavish and generous among them. They
heard. apparently for the mere sake of
boarding. They save empty spools and
scraps of lining. bits of feather. small.
useless odds and ends of velvet and rib

kets reveal the instinct in its cpmmonest
form. The collection craze shows it at Il
higher point
From the time when, as little girls,
they 60 about with strings of buttons to
the day when as old ladies they leave
their collections of bric-a-brac to some art
museum, they are everlastinsiy collecting.
The original ones collect with Il certain

The others collect whatever they hear it
is proper to collect. from souvenir spoons
to handkerchiefs. Sentimental young per

Irrigation Improves Fruit.

Irrigation is claimed to increase the
sugar in fruit and improve its quality
In California it has been found that irri-
gated fruit has less shrinkage when dried,
and was also worth more in its green
state. This is due to the great proper
tion Of mineral matter being taken up by
being dissolved with plentiful supply
OF water. The greater foliage permits
the plant to derive more carbohic acid
from the air, and thus contribute a
greater proportion of sugar to the fruit.
