1t is pity that women will do un-
necessary work because their mothers
and grandmothers did it before them.
They should remember that their
grandmothers and their mothers did
not have as much to do as the women
Of the present day do. Despite the
modern conveniences that seem to
make work lighter the social and
public duties that have added to the
that women must bear have added to
their labors tenfold.

One of the worst habits that child
can get into is that of being tardy
at meals. II is bad habit in any
one, yet there are people who labor
under the impression that when a
guest is in the house of a friend it
adds to their Importance to keep the
family waiting for them to appear. A
smoking stove is the only thing in
the world that will put woman out
more than having to wait on her
guests or members of the family
to come to meal after it is served.

Children are so often called little
vandles, but it is the fault Of the
mothers who will have about the
house little knick knacs that small
children can get hold of and spoil.
The wiser plan, in house where
there is no nursery where the chill
dren can be kept, is to put away, un-
til the child is old enough to under
stand the value, all the little memen-
toes that look very pretty, but are
not worth the peace of mind of the
whole family, nor the extra strength
of the mother that is required to
keep them from the restless little
hands. 1.-THE DON'T touch it roomN is
the name that three year old child
has given to the parlor in home, in a
certain city. She has been punished so
often for touching things that makes
the room like curiosity shop that

Woodenware when not in use should
be turned bottom side up.
Poorly ventilated Kitchens make poor
cooks by destroying the sense of taste
and smell.
A person who is Ill should not be
ovcr-burdened with too much or too
heavy bed clothing.
A fresh egg beaten and thickened
with sugar, freely eaten, will relieve
hoarseness, and the skin Of boiled
egg, wet and applied to a boil, will
draw out soreness.
Croutons in tomato and bean soup
add to their attractiveness, and are
easily prepared by buttering slice OF
bread on both sides, cutting 1t into tiny
squares and browning them In the
oven.
Boiled milkff with little salt added
to make it palatable, Is one OF the most
healthful drinks. 1t soothes an irritat-
ed stomach, nourishes the flesh tissues
and tends to make the complexion
clear.
Brown paper should be used in put
ting away ribbons and silks for preser-
walton; the chloride of lime In white
paper discolors them. A white satin
dress should be pinned up in blue pa
per, with brown paper outside, sewn
together at the edges.
For cleaning mirrors keep for the
purpose piece Of sponge, cloth and
a silk handkerchief, all entirely free
from dirt as the least grit will scratch
the surface Of the glass. First sponge
the glass with little spirits of wine or
gin and water, so as to clean OH all
spots; then dust over it, powder blue
tied in muslin. Rub it off lightly and
quickly with the cloth, and finish by
rubbing with the silk handkerchief.
Do not rub the edges Of the frame.
There is almost as much nutrition In
a pint Of milk as in quarter OF a
pound Of meat, and it is digested In
onc-third of the time. Milk is human
food and should agree with every
young person. 1t is not appreciated as
it should be; the prejudice against it Is
unmerited. A little lime water will
make cold milk agreeable with whim-
steal stomach, and anybody can drink
boiled milk with salt. Next to pure
milk comes milk foods-cereals, GUS
tardS, purces. etc. -,
A cup of clam broth made from fresh
clans and unseasoned is most accep-
table bit Of nourishnent after sick

Wine I'm Tablets.

A chemist of Algicrs announces that
he has invented a process for concen-
trating wine in tablets. Henceforth,
we are told, travellers will be able to
carry great casks Of wine in diminu-
tive boxes. The ripe grapes are taken,
the stalks removed and the fruit press
ed. The liquid is then pumped into
vacuum evaporation, heat is applied, and
at sufficient temperature vapor is
produced which is passed into a refrig-
orator. The result is a thick and
syrupy liquor, which is afterwards
mixed With the grape pulp and pips.
The mixture is pressed into tablets,
which, it is alleged, will keep indefi-
nitely. TO make wine it is only neces-
sary to add the amount Of water which
has been evaporated. A good wine of
fine favor. and of from eight to nine
degrees of alcoholic strength is obtain
ed. The tablets contain about eighty
per cent OF grape sugar. 1t is suggest
ell that the tablets mixed with Il little
water or diluted in sour maigre, would
prove very nourishing as ration when
campaigning or travelling.

REPUDIATE FRYE.

Ohio Populists Won't Countenance the
Coxeyite's Revolutionary Schemes.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Sept. 26-The local
Populist organization has denounced
and repudiated General L. c. Frye, the
ommander-in-c chief of the industrial
army of California, who was invited here
last week to lecture. His address was
very radical, almost revolutionary. and
before leaving this city he took into his
confidence several persons whom he
could trust and told them he was the
agent and organizer of a revolutionist
party and was merely using the Populist
cloak to get in his work. The group
system of the anarchists is used, though
it is entirely separate from them.
It is international in scope and growing
rapidly in numbers, he said. The idea
was suggested by the great Chicago
railway strike of last summer. When
well organized they viii await the
coming of a similar condition, and when
the laborers of the nation are in hot
blood over a wrong and the state and
national soldiers are supporting corpor-
ate greed, the signal to rise up and seize
the government will be given, and the
organization will act according to the
arranged plan.
General" Frye was told he could not
use the Populist party here to machinate
against the government The men he
took into his confidence exposed him
and be was told by the Populist leaders
that be could not address POpulIst meet

posed Frye's schemes are reliable. Frye
is an educated man and good speaker.
