HOW TO MANICURE.

The First Treatment Is by All Odds ths
Most Difficult.
Hot water Is the first requisite, and
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This is best attained by having
the hot water poured into a basin con-
tinually for two or three minutes. The
hands must be allowed to soak for full
" five minutes, and it is well, instead
of soap, to wash the hands thoroughly
in bran, which makes the skin soft and
white. After the hands have been thor
oughly cleansed the nails should then
be attended to, says Harpcr's Bazaar.
With a piece of orange-wood stick
sharpcned to a point, and a bit of jew
elers' cotton rolled around the point
and wet with the acid that comes for
this purpose, every particle of dirt and
stain should be removed. The hands
must then again be washed. this time
in warm, not hot water. Scissors very
sharp and fine must then be taken, and
all loose flesh at the side of the nails
ca1 cfully trimmed. The nails must be
shaped in pointed oval. All roughness
must be fled away and the flesh at the
base of the nail pushed smoothly and
firmly back SO that the half-moon, sup
posed to be a point of beauty, can be
6isccrned.
1t is no longer considered good form
to have so much polish on the nails
that they look as though they had been
buttered, as was the fashion two or
three years ago. But certain amount
of polish is necessary. Rosaline put on
over the entire nail and the end of the
finger. then washed off again and the
nails polished briskly with polisher
makes the hands look trim and pretty.
! The first manicuring is by all odds the
most difficult. After the nails and
hands are once got into good condition,
| fifteen minutes each Monday morning
will keep them in proper condition all
the week through if only ordinary care

fashion through the city summer like
three female muslSeteers of the brush.
They have taken big, roomy apart
ment with eight large side windows
looking out over a vacant lot, which,
with its abundant grass and nodding
daisies, comes as near being meadow
as any place could within the city lin
it's So they are assured plenty of light,
air and pleasant outlook during the
warm days and nights.
The furniture of the little double draw
ing-room is all of bamboo aud wicker,
one big divan being piled with cushions
covered entirely in blue and white
slips. There is piano of white enamel
in one corner, and a low table to match
for the magazines and summer htera-
ture. There are few plants, but very
little bric-a-brac, and only as much fur
niture as is needed. The windows are
uncurtained, but shaded with Venetian
blinds, which keep the house cool dur-
ing the day. The doors are hung with
bamboo curtains, and the breeze keeps
them tjnl1ling unsteady all the time.
The general effect is that OF GOODNESS,
cleanliness and space.
The dining-room is fitted like the
parlor, and in this apartment there is
great bay window, which extends
across one entire side of the room.
Here these ingenious girls have sort
of conservatory of vines and plants,
not shutting out light and air. as in too
many cases, but trained close to the
walls and spreading over the ceiling.
Swung across this sylvan nook is tas-
seled hammock of white cord, and upon
it big pillow in a lace-trimmed mus
lin cover rests invitingly. 1t is difficult
to imagine one of these young women
climbing to this airy retreat, but as it
swings in the air which comes through
the open easement it looks restful and
summary.
One of the attractive objects in this
room is big glass punch-bowl, resting
on the white embroidered linen DOYLE
on the buffet. Here the mistresses OF
the establishment propose to brew
cooling lemonades Gu hot summer even
ings. with glaciers of ice therein and
berries and fruit floating about upon
the surface. The chance visitor within
this pleasant summer abode will be re-
called with draughts of this liquid
blessedness.
The breakfasts, dinners and suppers
upon which these girls will subsist will
| be selected for their appropriateness to
the season. Fruit will furnish a large
part of every meal. and they are to
take turns in making out menus each
week for the maid to follow. And the
best of it all is that the entire summer
plan, including everything, is not go
ing to cost them more than ten dollars
a week each.

annual going away, is, of course, a
neyer-failing delight. To the house

but the typical stay-at-home Is the
woman who cannot content her soul
with a sleeping room which is one bed

TO such women the uncurtained cool

improvements, offers an ideal stopping
place during the warm months, espe-

away and the force of servants has
been reduced. Then the unregencrate
stay-at-home wanders about at her own
sweet will with her back hair in braid,
and wears morning wrapper ut lunch

A charming stay-at-home parade has
been planned by three clever New York
girls who intend to go to Europe next

SIN July, 1876, while my company was on
the march through to Austin, Texas, was
attacked with rheumatism of the worst
kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being
weak / was sunstruck and remained un-
conscious for several hours. Every sum-
mer since have been unable to stand the
heat of the sun, and have been compelled to
give up my work. There was in my head
q bearing-down feeling which increased
until it seemed my head would burst, and
IL caused a ringing in my ears, and palpita-
ton of the heart set in, so that the slightest
noise would set my heart humping Sew
eral times it has rendered me unconscious
for from seven to ten hours OF q time In
addition to this the rheumatism extended
up my entire side until it drew my head
down on my shoulder. I lost my strength
an flesh and was totally unfit for work. !.

ailments increased in intensity until was
assured that there was no hopcfor me. Dur
ing last year went Into the butcher bust

tent that was not only compelled to Quit
the business, but was confined to my house
and bed for nearly six months.

tirely cured from the ailments from which
was suffering, by the nse of DR.. Williams

Electric Candle. in England.

The electric candle is in great re-
quest in England for the lighting and
decoration of dining and other tables.
An ingenious device for lighting the
candles is provided by placing small
pads under the tablecloth, and taking
the current from them by means of two
pin points in the base of the candle
stick. The candles, of course, are ex-
tinguished on being taken from the
table, and are relighted when they are
replaced in the proper position. They
are so arranged that the bulb and the
glass imitation of wax candle can be
removed, when the candlestick can be
used for an ordinary candle. When
used with shades of colored silk, the
electric candle makes one of the pref
test additions to dinner table that IT
Is possible to imagine.

AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM.

Shall Progressive Dairymen Buy or Breej
Their Cows?
The above question is surely very
practical one. No one who has at any
time attempted to establish herd OF
dairy cows but will know what diff
cult matter it is to get together co..
lection of cows which shall at once
prove pro6ta BILE in the practical, work
ing dairy. If one makes up his mind
to make dairying speciality, and If he
is in hurry to get, at it, then. oil
course, he must depend largely on out
side buying for his foundation herd.
But after he has the cows and has
thoroughly tested each individual,
wedding out undesirable ones, so that
he knows those he has left are profit
able from his point of view, then the
question arises, shall he raise his own
stock to supply future demands o,
shall he depend upon buying, as in the
first instance? There are many good
reasons why he should raise his OVID
cows. In the first place, having Sc
cured herd of cows whi:h has devel.
oped, to n marked degree, the milk
and butter-producing tendency, he
has but to secure a well-bred dairy
bull to breed his cows to, to be quite
sure of getting what he seeks.
The heifers got by this mating viii
invariably prove equal if not superior
to their dams. These facts are taken
from dairyman's point of view. The
young things are cheaply raised up tc
the point of milk giving. To say the
least, they can be raised as cheaply as
they can be purchased, and then you
must take your chances and not al
ways sound Judgment II You buy-as
to whether they will make good cows
or not. On the other hand, there il
no question but what it. is a great
amount of extra work and a source OF
annoyance to break a number of heifers
each year, and again, they, of course
are not as profitable dairy animal.
as adult cows are at their best. Blu,
we should remember that if n heifcr j.
fed intelligently from birth with the
idea of making a COW of her, her worth
as dairy animal will be greatly en-
HANGED. Wehavc often seen young heif
ers for the first time in milk yielding
larger profits than some of the Older
cows. The young heifcrs are con
stantly getting better, while the cow

The people of the United States eat
on the average about four pounds OF
butter for each bushel OF wheat con-
sumed as food. From this it is easy to
see that SO far as the home market is
concerned butter brings the farmer
more money than wheat, and yet there
are some folks who think the dairy in
dustry, which includes the sale of milk
for food. and the manufacture Of
cheese as well as of butter, is not of
very much importance - compared
with wheat raising.
