False Quotations.

To journalistic hurry-and be 1t under
stood that the phrase is used rather a
type of the pressure which spoils SO much
of our modern life than AS an indictment
of the press in particular, for fault SO
common-must we attribute the stereo-
tipping OF certain time honored misquota-
tons, such as fresh fields and pastures
new" for Millions fresh woods, the
"eyen tenor Of their way" where Gray
wrote "noiseless tenor" the ION land or
sea- or else ION sea or shore" put for
Worisworth's light that never was on sea
or land, the attribution of the last quoted
line to Shelley, and the impossible trans
ference Of Fiat justitia, ruat Crlum' to
Horace from its unknown author. Such
Interpretations have their origin, no doubt,
in hurry in the necessity of printing with
out veritication, for the better serving Of
the quotcr's purpose, and more rarely in
the Incidence which is careless about
verifying where il could. But their per
petuation is rather due to the fact that
many OF those who Use them are using
them at secondhand. are quoting from
their memory Of others quotations, and
not from their personal recollection Of the
original Sometimes the SENSE and bear
ing of a passage may have undergone such
change that veriilcation proves it actually
useless for the purpose intended. Temple

To Train the Baby In Beauty.

Have Yea ever noticed how many people
have ears which project, eyes which look
bald because they have no eyelashes and
brows. and thumbs which are broad and
fiat on the end That is because in in
fancy their mothers We're either indifferent
or ignorant of "a few simple ohscrvances
which would have obviated all these phys
ical defects Babies for the first few years
are really only tiny bundles of malleable
cartilage, and it bchoovos mothers to see
that this cartilage is not trained in the
way ii should not go.
About the ears. Many men and women
today have to thank the bonnet strings of
infant years for aural appendagc> which
establish a resemblance between them and
donkeys. Mothers should avoid tying any
thing behind the haby's ears a good
plan, when the baby is asleep. is to lay 1t
on its side, so the little head viii press the
ear flat. So common has become this dis
fgurcment that skeleton caps are made To
press the babys ears close to the head \
silk handkerchief, however, drawn over
the top Of the head, down over the ear,
and tied securely under the chin answers
the same purpose. Children with ears
which project should sleep with this ar
rangcment ever the ears.
eyes without lashes and only a shadow
where the brows should be This is es
pecially the case where one or both parents
are blends.
Pure vasel;nc rubbed on the brows sew
eral times daily and put ON the lashes at
night will promote immediate growth,
Nor does this apply only to children, but
is equally efficient with adults,
Nothing too strong can be said against
permitting children to suck their thumbs.
Charming and heart delighting rs this
common occupation of the baby is to the
average mother nothing will more surely
rum the shape of the hands, 1t is the
cause of broad, fiat thumbs in after life.
There are preparations to put upon the
baby's thumbs which will render these
rosy digits less palatable, and after one or
two attempts baby will soon forget the in
furious habit.-New York World.

A Woman In 1t.

There is always woman in ii. II
there be any evil done, we always see the
words, There was woman in it, " but
these people forget to count the thousands
of noble deeds where woman : steady
hand and clear brain We're at the helm.
Certain men are so apt to pattern after
Father Adam, and when they err throw
all the blame on the woman, forgetting
while they accuse woman and yet boast
of their own strength, courage and sol
dierly power, that SO doing is confessing
their own weakness
Go back, if you will, to Isabella Of
Spain When all others laughed at the

such counseled and gave her commands,

\ great deal of nonsense has been writ

ton, as though IA woman When under the
necessity Of earning her bread, had not u
right to do anything that she could do
well and successfully. Success seems to
be all that the world requires, or, for that

that ilnpedimcnt. have been thrown in
the way Of woman work that are now re-
moved 1t il also true that there are many
vocations that are better adapted to men
than women and where women are not as
successful in the attempt at such callings
as mon. In the same way, there are Ger
tain callings in which women have always
been moro notably successful than men
and command today, rs specialists higher
prices. There are many vocations now
opened to the employment of educated
women who are willing to work hard for
a successful end.
The number of women who work for
living must necessarily be limited. The
majority Of women by the natural laws
of heaven must always be wives and moth

absorbed in home cares. 1t Is only the
unfortunate few who are compelled TO neg
lcCt these home cares to earn wages out

turn all sorts OF home duties into remit

for employment of women is that of stock

In cases Of this kind the remedy is not
far to seek, but it IS more difficult to re
licye those wha suffer legitilAatcly, SO to
speak The following treatment should
be porscvcrcd III. Ii will give immediate
relief, and when practicable should be re
sorted To twice day:
Soak the feet well in :epid water, to
which little ammonia has been added,
and as the water gets cold pour in more
hot to keep up the temperature. After
driving the feet rub them gently and thor
oughly with u mixture made thus:
Add an ounce OK the hest lnscod oil to
the same quantity u liruewater, shake the
bottle in which the ingredients are until a
mixture about the thickness of cream is
produced; then pour in half dram Of
spirits of camphor, shake again, and 1t is
ready for use. The feet, after being rub
bed, should be wrapped in soft linen for q
little while, and then powdered with bo-
racic acid before the stockings are re
placed In tho event OF the feet and ankles
being in very intlaIncd condition, after
soaking them as l have described, apply
an arnlca lotion, which will soon allay the
discomfort. This is made by adding 20
drops of tincture of arnica to half q cupful
of topid water; saturatc piece of lint
sufficiently large to envelope the entire
foot with the lotion; cover it with piece
of oiled silk, and rest for an hour or two.

Those Fetching EyeIashes.

Do your long, dark, curling lashes lie

you sleep, or when you coyly gaze down
ward, Would YOU like them to if they dc
not?
If your ambition lies in the direction OF
the regulation heroine eyelash the first
step toward obtaining it is to cure any
trouble you may have with your eyes. All
local irritation is as bad for the lashes as
1t is to the eyes themselves. The tendency
to rub the eyes invariably results in thin
ming the lashes. Infiamed eyelids always
bring about thin, short, 'scrubby" lashes.
If the lids are inclined to be inflamed, a
wash Of two or three drops of camphor, a
teaspoon Of borax and two ounces Of water
