Coffee Versus Onions.

A cup of black coffee taken after a
Spanish omelette, potato salad, cut
lets, or any other dish prepared with
onions or it's cousin, garlic, will de-
stroy the abhorrent fumes that cling
to the bronchial tubes. A couple of
wintergreen creams Or Glove candies,
eaten before leaving the table, will re-
move the taste of food from the
mouth and neutralize the smell of
wine. A few drops of camphor and
myrrh in a glass of water is excellent
for gargle and tooth wash when
there is the suspicion of a tainted
breath, A bad taste in the mouth and
white tongue will always warrant
the use of an antedote for bad
breath. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and
orris root sweeten the mouth and will
disguise unpleasant odors for the time
being. Spruce and mastic gum are
used for the same purpose.

A professional nurse of many years
experience tells me, says a writer in
Babyhood. that she finds more babies
suffering from insufficient clothing
among the rich than among the poor.
For example, She was summoned by a
physician to a <tealthy family where
the 5-raonths-old baby was suffering
from some mysterious trouble that
baftled everybody. He could live only
a few days, the doctor said, if some
thing was not done. He could keep
nothing on his stomach, and was
slowly starving to death. The nurse
found a distracted mother and a
pinched anG moaning baby His flesh
was blue, aid there was a settled look
of anguish on his face. The nurse
picked him up from the
silk and lace of his costly crib, AMI
found just what she expected. Dress
and skirts of linen fine as gOssamer,
and about as warm; shirts and socks
like lace; flannel skirts of the regula-
ton number, but 50 fine and thin as
to give little warmth. "Is this the
way you have dressed your baby from
the tirst?" asked the nurse. sob, yes,
I've always had the best of everything
for him." answered the mother
well, it's no wonder he is sick. He
hasn't enough on to keep a fly warm
in July" The nurse called for the
thiclest blanket in the house, and a
hot-Waser bag, and sent the aston
ished mother down town for the
warmest flannel wrappers, however
ugly they might be. The result was
that in few days the child was tax
ing his food perfectly, and was thriv
ing as well as could be desired.
How Women Voted.
The last election which took place
in New Zealand contained novel
feature which will make it memora-
bic. For the first time every woman
w VI lilS aSO VI ~ y Sulo was pei ulluUCu
to vote. From end to end of the col.
ony, in the crowded cities and in the
sparsefg settled country districts, the
women recorded their votes at the
polling booths.
The candidates had committees of
ladies, as well as gentlemen, and the
members of the ladies' committees
were as keen as the men in bringing
voters Of their own sex to the polls
They made provision by which any
woman having baby had member
Of the co:nmittee to relieve her of
family cares while she was recording
her vote.
1t has frequently been objected that
it would be impossible for women to
go to the pol ling booths on account of
rowdyism, and that they would be in
suited by roughs when they went to
record their votes. But there was
nothing of the kind. No provision
was made for separate polling places
for women. They went to the same
booths as the men, and in no single
instance was there the slightest an
noyance caused to any female voter

in chair with groan Of liberation and
relief, and at once vigorously set about
taking snuff. At last, with closed eyes,
she murmured:

In amazement he took the other casket
from the flushed girls hands. 1t required
but moment to learn its history from
the doddering auldwife now; its theft by
Sandy at night from the basket contain

ders' cottage twenty years before; the
fear of using the Bank of England notes
of large denomination which it still con-
tanned intact; Sandy's deadly hatred of
those he had wrOnged, and his affrighted
yesterdays theft of the casket's mate in
sudden superstitious fear lest the first
