Electric Candles 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 candlestiek can be
used for an ordinary candle. When
used with shades of eolored silk, the
electric candle makes one of the pret-
test additions to a dinner table that it
is possible to imagine.

How Three clever Girls viii spend 8 vesy
Pleasant Summer.

| How Three Clever Girls VIII Spend Very
I Pleasant Summer.
To the woman fond OF the gay pleas
I ures of the resorts affected by summer
wanderers, and of the social joys Of
fered by Saturday night hops the
| annual going away, is, of course, a
never-failing delight. To the house
keeping mother, also, who partakes
herself to some questionable farm
house with her brood, the escape from
household worries is genuine relief;
but the typical stay-at-home is the
woman who cannot content her soul
with a sleeping room which is one bed
and bureau wide by a trunk and a
wash-stand long.
To such women the uncurtained cool
ness of the city home, with its modern
improvements, offers an ideal stopping
place during the warm months, espe-
cially so if part of the family has gone
away and the force of servants has
been reduced. Then the unregenerate
stay-at-home wanders about at her own
sweet will with her back hair in braid,
and wears a morning wrapper at lunch
con if she wants without fear ofcallers.
A charming stay-at-home parade has
been planned by three clever New York
girls who intend to go to Europe next
summer. and are economizing this sea-
son for that purpose. One of them is
a school-teacher, one stenographer,
and the third china decorator. These
young women all make good salaries,
and are sensible girls who have planned
to live together in a happy-go-lucly

HOW TO MANICURE.
The First Treatment Is by All Odds Il
Most Difficult.

The First Treatment Is by All Odds the
Most Difficult.
Hot water is the first requisite, and q
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This is best attained by having
the hot water poured into 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 Harper's Bazar
With a piece of orange-wood stick
sharpened to point, and 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
ca. efully trimmed. The nails must be
shaped in pointed oval. All roughness
must be filed away and the flesh at the
base of the nail pushed smoothly and
firmly back so that the half-moon, sup
posed to be point of beauty, can be
discerned.
1t is no longer considered good form
20 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 a 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
in washing the hands, with an occasion
al rub from the polisher, is given.

KITCHEN UTENSILS
They Are of Much Lighter Material Than
Formerly.

Formerly.
There has been almost a revolution
in kitchen utensils in this century.
Previous to this time, the only utensils
were heavy iron pots and the time
hopored pipkin of earthenware, in
which cooking had been done since the
beginning of civilization. Fortunate
indeed was she who possessed Dutch
oven. in which she could bake her bis
cult under the ashes and Goals of the
fireplace. The bread baking was done
in brick oven.
Modern cook stoves produced a
revolution in woman's work, as well
as in cooking. There was no more
lifting Of cumbrous iron pots off and
on the crane. The pot could stand on
the stove and be filed there, as we'll
as heated. Lighter utensils soon fol-
lowed. and we soon began to learn
that all metals. even when non-pOison-
Gus, were not equally adapted to cook
ing. A great deal of bad cookery may
be traced to bad tin kettles and uten-
sils of other material, which were in
capable OF doing their work properly.
They were not injured by the heat,
but they were not proper conductors
of the heat. Until recently, copper
was the best conductor of heat. but ii
is heavy and has always been expen-
sive. With the discovery of aluminium
and its manufacture at low price.
copper has a powerful rival. Here is a
metal which is in every way the equal
of copper as a conductor of heat, and
is as light as porcelain.
Even now there is every indication
that kitchen utensils of this ideal metal
NAV soon be within the reach of every
one. There are companies already
making complete kitchen outfits of
pure aluminium. One of the kitchens
at the Chicago exposition was fur
nished in this way. The price is still
high. but has been steadily decreasing
within the last few years, and one of
the good results even of its introduc-
tion has been a reduction in price of
all the other classes of materials Cop
per, agate ware, enameled ware and
the best kinds of all kitchen utensils
have been reduced in the presence OF
a competitor that overshadows them.
Even if one cannot secure the ideal
metal itself. he can now obtain at a
reasonably low price the best that was
to be had before its introduction.-N.

Dainty Demcacy for Luncheon.

A delicious savory for luncheon or
tea is made by cutting some hard
boiled eggs in two lengthwise; the yollx
is then removed and pounded up with
some grated cheese-allow half an
ounce for each egg-s little whipped
cream or butter and a small quantity
of tomato sauce, the seasoning being
cayenne pepper and celery salt. The
halves of the eggs are then lined with
the mixture. This dish should be ac-
coDlpanied by toast and butter.

With the manufacturers doing Moth

The market for all the raw materials
of industry was, of course, reduced,
and this decline in demand threw
other thousands out of work The
iron furnaces and mills, the coal
mines and coke ovens shut down; she
railroads had far less freight to carry;
and so the wave of evil spread, until
the country was full of idle men, seek

remained until the period of uncer-

ended the uncertainty and dictated
