PREPARING FOR WINTER.
How to Make tho House Comfortable In
Cold Weather.

How to Make tho House Comfortable In
Cold Weather.
There are very few houses that have
been built for some time that do not
require careful weather stripping. and
special preparation for winter. Where
house is not heated throughout by n
heater OF some kind, great deal OF
heat is saved by keeping that portion
of the house not needed carefully shut
up. Examine all portions of the
foundation of the house, and see that
there is no place where draughts can
get under and blow up through the
floor. A cold floor is the source OF a
great deal of discomfort. There arc
good many houses with snowy stone
or brick foundations that arc not prop
crly bricked up under the floor be-
tween the beams that support the
house and rest on tho foundations.
Here and over each OF the cellar win.
dows the foundation should be care.
fully extended to cover the space SO
often left untitled by masons when
they are building cheap houses. II
costs but little to see that these spaces
are filed, and that no air can creep
under the Dashboard OF the house.
Storm doors or storm entries made OF
inexpensive boards furnished with
sash doors are exceedingly valuable to
shut out the cold. They must be put
up so that they can be taken down In
summer. The simplest way is TO have
them made OF matched boards, which
nre fastened top and bottom by a series
of hooks. Wherever north or west
door opens into q living room, such a
door or entrance should be interposed
between it and the outer air. It must
be q satisfaction to perfectly healthy
individuals, whose houses are not heat
ed throughout, to know that there Is
much moro danger in an overheated
house than In one underheated. Per.
sons who are liable to cold, who are
not in strong health, cannot run the
risk Of sleeping In cold rooms without
artificial heat Many people must live
in a house of equable temperature, and
their health depends upon this II Is
only when the system Is strong that Il
can stand the shock Of sleeping In q
cold room. IN. Y. Tribune.

DUTIES OF A DAUGHTER.
Some Suggestions for Young Girls In Home
Life.

Some suggestions TOR founS oiris IN homs
Life.
One OF the sweetest things girl can
do is to receive friends graciously, par.
ticularly at home. In ones own house
q cordial manner is peculiarly fitting.
Do not stand off in the middle OF the
room and bow coldly and formally to
the friend who has called. Walk over
to meet her; give her your hand, and
say pleasantly that you are very glad
to see her again. Stiff, cold and for.
NAL ways Of greeting acquaintances
are not proper in girl welcoming
guests to her fathers house. A daugh'
ter's part Is to assist her mother on
every social occasion. The girl pours
the tea in her mothers drawing.room
when friends drop In ut five o'clock.
Quite often, when no maid Is present,
she helps the guests to the sandwiches
and their cakes which arc served ut
FIVE o'clock tea, and herself hands the
cups, and takes them from the guest
who would like to be relieved.
Apart from and more important even
than her manner TO guest who hap
pens in for an hour or q day, Is. the
manner OF daughter to her father
and mother. Tho father returns to
his home after q weary day ut BUSH
ness lie is tired in body and mind.
Coming back, as his latch-key
turns in the homo door he
throws of care; he is joyous ut
the thought of the dear ones he
will meet after hours OF absence. His
young daughter, in n pretty gown.
with the bloom and freshness only
girlhood wears, should be ready to
give him the attentions he loves-the
kiss, the CHEEKY word-to help her
mother and the rest in letting her
father see how much he is loved at
home. Men give up great deal for
their families their time, their
strength, tho knowledge they have
gained in life's expcriences-they
spend everything freely for their
homes sake, and the home should pay
its debt In much outspolen love.
All through life, girls, never econ-
omize demonstration to those who are
your very own. Let them know how
much you love them. Tell them SO.
For strangers and mere acquaintances
we should have reserve and carry our
selves with dignity, but our own home
people have a right TO our unstinted
love. Praise the little brother or the
little sister who does we'll. II you are
teaching little pupil, and she Is try
ing hard to show that she cares for the
lesson, let her know that you are fully
satisfied. Praise goes further than
blame In making people good. Indeed,
happy people are generally good

FEW FACES SYMMETRICAL.
Investigation Proves That tho Sides of
Most Faces Are Uneaual.

investigation Proves That tho Sides OF
Most Faces Are UnequaL
Mr.. Phil Morris experiences have
led him to the conclusion that SYM
metrical faces are very few and far be-
tween. The sides of the average face,
he declares, are unequal, and one eye
frequently goes up while the other is
half closed. Often tho nose Is not
straight, and many people have the
habit of looking rs IL they were asleep.
The distinguished Royal Academy as
socinte has been giving some account OF
the troubles and vexations which come
Of portrait painting. There is n touch
OF disappointment, he says, when folks
see their own portraits or those of
their friends on canvas for the first
time. Once he was engaged In paint
ing o lady who had just become n
grandmother, and he had treated very
delicately the ravagcs which time had
made. The lady's husband brought
him another portrait which had been
painted twenty-five years before, and
having expressed some slight surprise
at the new picture pointed to the old
one and said. THAT was how he saw
his wife" Nearly all Indies declare
they don't want TO be hattered, but
the artist who takes them at their
word does so ut his peril.
According TO Mr.. Morris, artists who
devote themselves to portrait-painting
are influenced not by mere vision, but
by certain preconceived idea as to
how they may treat q face. The late
Mr.. Frank Holl, he says, had book
Lavater's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
pictures OF human types like hawks.
foxes and other creatures, and when
he was about to paint n portrait he
used TO try to find out which one Of
these animals or birds the sitter most
resembles For instance, he would
enlarge the ears OF foxhunter, and.
by accentuating tho features, paint u
most remarlxa BILE likeness. II is advis-
able. in Mr.. Morris opinion. TO let n
sitter watch the progress OF his por-
trait II this Ii done the artist can
tell by the look Of disappointment on
the sitter's face when. in his esiima-
tion, there is anything wrong. More
over. by this means more interest is
lent 10 the task of sitting. 1t appears
that one of the reasons the queen al
lows herself TO be painted so often by
Herr Angeli is that she can see the
work in progress Some artists. un-
like the Austrian painter. are martyrs
TO nervousness, and decline TO allow
the sitter to see the portrait before IL
Is completed. London News

INSULT TO SMITH.
Ramsey County Delegation
Manipulated by a
Person
OF DOUBTFUL NATIONALITY
To Recommend the Passage
OF a Bill Removing the
Mayor
AS AM Ex-0FFlCIO MEMBER
OF the County Commissioners
INSPIRED by Personal
Spleen.
AS AN Ex-0FFlCIo MEMBER

1t mas come to pretty pass when
an insignificant ward politician like
Nels ]. Ness can so manipulate the
Minnesota legislature as to secure
the passage OF a bill which reflects
on the standing of such an honored
citizen and capable official as Mayor
Robert A. Smith
1t is a shining disgrace to the state
that a. man who cannot speak the
English language. correctly and was
born under a foreign flag, can so
influence American citizens as to
cause them to insult one of their
own countrymen, who is a mountain
of knowledge and integrity by the
side of the ignorant protector of the
bill.
Last night the bill offered by Ness.
which removes the mayor as ex-of-
ficio member of the board of county
commissioners, was recommended to
pass.
That was the product of Ness per-
sonal spleen. Ness is ."sore" be-
cause Mayor Smith refused to sign
the order passed by the county com
missioners donating to Abstract
Clerk Bazille the sum of $1,000 to
extend the abstract books, in order
that County Commissioner Johnny
Hardy may secure q job. Ness is
county commissioner, by
MYSTERIOUS FREAK
of politics, and constitutionally op-
posed to anything advocated by
Mayor Smith, and in favor of any
thing which the mayor opposes.
On several occasions he has used
insulting and dictatorial language to
Mayor Smith in board meetings. and
has been criticised openly for his
actions
These are the reasons why Ness
was inspired to work for the passage
of such a spiteful and contemplate
measure, and, to say the least, it is
not at all creditable to the Ramsey
county delegation in the legislature,
to have it said that they were mani
pulated and twirled by a person of
the caliber of Nels J. Ness.

HIDING IN A BARN

some distance from where she resides.
She remained at home but a few min
utes. When she left her house the last
time Mrs. Carlson took all her little
folks with her. Her baby and another
little tot of eighteen months were
placed in the baby carriage, while An
ME Carlson, child of three years.
brought up the rear Of the family pro-
cession.
William Mcknight, who lives next
door to the Carlsons, is probably the
last person who saw the half-crazed
woman. He followed her quite dis
lance. The fugitive seemed possessed
with wonderful energy. Despite the
drlzzling rain and chilling sleet, she
wheeled her babies along at a pace
which would tire a practiced pedes-
TRAN. Little Annie followed as briskly
as her little limbs would permit. With
bedraggled dress and soaking feet, the
child would plod along, often being
several blocks behind her mother.
Mr.. Mcknight watched the latter
closely. Several times he observed her
entering vacant houses, where she
would remain few minutes, and, re-
appearing, resume her cratic flight.
Mrs. Carlson had almost reached
University avenue when Mcknight re-
traced his steps. 1t may be possible
that the unfortunate woman fastened
her flight, intent on securing a hiding
place for her little ones, where they
would be safe from those her diseased
imagination construed as enemies
Mrs. Carlson is thirty-five years of
age, about five feet in height, weighs
about 125 pounds, and has light COM
plexion and rather a slender appear
ance. When she disappeared she wore
black skirt, black plush coat and a
black straw hat.
