IN MERCHANT TAILORING

the value of the suit depends upon the
man who makes it. Cloths and materials do
not differ materially but cutters and filters
do It's the small things that show the fit
and finish. A trle too much cloth here or
too little there, will spoil the finest fabric and
make an expensive suit resemble scarecrow
The most fastidious devotee of Fashion can
not detect IA flaw in our faultless attire AL
our goods, no matter what the price, are
finished with scrupulous care. An instance
of this will be found in our line of $1,000

SUMMER CARE OF BABY.

Baby's second summer always seems
the most trying. He IL usually cutting
teeth, and seems less able to stand the
heat, so II l. only BY constant and wise
care ri this time that he Is carried sue
cessiully through the season. Watch
the temperature of the weather careful
ly. and add 10 or take from baby's clo-
thing accordingly. II the morning i
cool, be sure that the flannel skirt and
shirt or Jacket are put on. When II
grows hot In the middle OF the day, take
them of, but have them ready for the
cool evening or any sudden change 70
cooler weather; and think IL best to
keep thin soft flannel band 10 60 over
the bowels. Make IL loose, and with
linen straps 10 go over the shoulders.
DO not leave this of either day or night.
DO not feed baby any solid food, meat
or vegetables until he has all his teeth.
No matter what is said about little of
any thing not hurting him, be on the safe
side and coniine his diet TO milk, with a
little bread, rice, or some similar cereal,
and take special care that every article
Of food is perfectly fresh and sweet.
Give baby all the cold water he wants "a
drink-nOt ice-water, Of course, but
water rs cold as good well water.
Give the regular tepid bath in the
morning, and IL the weather is very hot,
q little sponge-bath, when undrcssed for
night, will add to bsby's comfort.
Never use napkin twice withou,
rinsing il. When wet napkin is re-
moved, throw it into clear, cold water,
rinse ii out and spread out Of doors 10
dry. Ii is scarcely any trouble, and Is
so much better for the child. IL baby
chafes, as fat babies are almost sure 10
do, use borated talcum powder, after
washing and drying carefully.
Baby's life and health are more to you
than anything else In the world; then,
whatever else must be neglected, do not
let il be the baby.

SYSTEM IN HOUSEKEEPING

''rhe only way TO accomplish anything
in housekeeping is TO have regular
system. II always wash on Monday no
matter what happens" says one house
keeper.
Now, II exceptions are In order, |
would like TO take exception 10 part of
that. System, by all means, dear
madame, but not system as unalterable
as the laws of the Modes and Persians.
Nothing was ever gained by that. For
woman TO wash on Monday no matter
what happens, means one of two things:
either the clothes go in water or they are
dried i'm the house. The former is n
great waste Of time, the latter waste OF
health and comfort. What kind Of a
house is it for tired man to come home
dampness of weeks wash dried I'm the
house: so much for comfort, now for
health. The dampness of drying clothes
is absolutely injurious to most eonstitu
tions, and serious colds have frequently
been the result Of such false economy of
time.
Another false idea of system and
economy is for woman TO do her own
work. There are those who have no
higher aspirations than some one else's
kitchen. end who need the money. Why
then should the housemother use up all
her time in drudging and mental tasks,
when she might have much Of her time
for other things; reading and the like,
which would enable her to keep abreast
of the times? She can oversee and keep
an eye on everything quite as well as If
she we're in it. There Is no more reason
for woman doing her own work than
there is for every merchant to do his own
bookkeeping. A household Is a
woman's own business house, and, as in
any other business house, specialists
should be employed wherever possible.
The wife and mother will still have
enough to do to be all she should to her
children.

A REPORTER PUNISHED FOR FelGN
ING INSANITY.
New York Evening Post.


A sad blow nj Journalistic enter
prise" has been dealt by an unfccling
Judge in California. An ambitious
Young reporter on the Los Angeles
Herald. who had wearied Of ordinary
assignments, conceived the iCea of win
ming fame by getting up n sensation. So
he feigned insanity, was brought before
the court for examination, was pro-
nounced subject for the asylum, aud
was sent TO the state institution at the
Highlands.
After staying long enough tn get
material for good story, he wanted to
get out, but in order To secure his re-
lease, was obliged 10 tell the who'e
story Of his deceit. The judge who had
committed him cited him TO appear TO
answer the charge OF contempt OF court,
and sentenced him To fine of 5000 or
serve 100 days in Jail. The Judge accept
ed the plea that no dlsrespect for him
personally had been intended, but eX-
planned that contempt OF court WAS not
an offence against the person Of the
Judge, but against the government, be-
cause il Is an unlawful interference with
the orderly administration of justice by
the tribunals created for that purpose.
In this case the reporter. by deceit, had
caus ed the machinery Of justice To he
set in motion, involving considerable ex-
pense, and when brought before the
court, acted in disorderly and insolent
manner, to induce the court to make an
improper and illegal order. The judge
proceeded to express these views upon
the plea that journalistic criminal
ought to be treated more lenieptly than
one not in "the profession"
POSSIBLY from the standpoint OF re-
porter, such conduct may seem right
and proper. 1t is possible, even, that in
some quarters an attempt 10 deceive -
court OF justice, and by deceit to procure
an improper aud illegal order, an order
involving the expenditure Of consider
able public money, and resulting in the
sending Of "A sane man to an insane asy-
lum. may be looked upon rs Legitimate
journalistic enterprise. hardly think,
however, that, upon sober second
thought, any citizen would so regard 1t.
One no cmbarks upon such an enter
prise, an enterprise which involves a
violation of law, an enterprise which in
wolves the commission Of public Oflense,
must abide the consequences"

SPONGING WITH HOT WATER FOR A

So much. saws an authority, remove the
dress waist, knot the hair high upon the
head, out OF the way, and, while leaning
over basin place a sponge soaked In
hot water, as hot as can be borne, on the
back of the neck. Repeat this many
times, also applying the sponge behind
the ears, and II the assertion Of the writ
er is not mistaken one, In many cases

have caused so much misery will be felt

liciously, and very frequently the pain
promptly vsnishes In consequence.
Every woman knows the aching face
and neck generally brought home from
hard days shopping, and from long
round Of calls and afternoon teas. She
regards with intense dissatisfaction the
heavy lines drawn around her eyes and
mouth BY the long strain on the facial
muscles, and when she must carry tina,
worn countenance to some dinner party
or evenings amusement. IL robs her OF
all the pleasure To be had In IL. Cos

and hot water are advised by the writer
quoted, bathing the face In hot water, rs
hot as Il can possibly be borne. Apply
the sponge over and over again 10 the
temples, throat and behind the ears,
where most Of the nerves aud muscles

SOME BEAUTY RECIPES.
HARMLESS WAYS OF BRINGING ART TO

Perfumes should be INDUCED In by
everyone, for their stimulating and re-
freshing properties cannot be over esti-
mated. They are health and beauty
giving; especially lavender, lemon,
roses, violets, sage aud benzoiu.
Those with pale compilations can In
time bring color to their cheeks by bath
ing with benzoin water or lait virginia.
Pale lips can be induced to show color
by friction with black grapes.
Thick lips can be reduced by rubbing
with tannin. Lemon, orange and Gu
cumber peels are excellent for the com.
plexion. Let them soak In your water
Jug, for they will not only soften but
tonify and freshen the complexion, keep
ing the flesh healthy and firm. When
wiping the face always wipe upward, for
this saves many wrinkle and fullness
under the chin.
The eyes should always be wiped to-
ward the nose, as 1t presses out the fine
lines from the corners.
A good plan to preserve the skin from
becoming set and old is to give the face
perfect rest four or five times day. No
matter how busy ones life Is, IL possible

A GLASS OF WATER AT sEDTIn

A GLASS OF WATER At BEDTIME.
The human body is constantly under
going tissue change. Water has the
power Of increasing these tissue changes.
which multiply the waste products, but
at the same time they are renewed by its
agency, giving rise to increased appetite,
which in turn provides fresh nutriment.
Persons but little accustomed to drink
water are liable to have the waste prod
ucts formed faster than they are remov-
ed. Any obstruction to the free working
OF natural laws at once produces disease.
People accustomed to rise In the morn
ing weak and languid will find the cause
in the secretion OF wastes, which manv
times may be remedied by drinking full
tumbler Of water before retiring. This
materially assists in the process during
the night, and leaves the tissues fresh
and strong, ready for the active work Of
the day. Hot water is one of the best
remedial agents. A hot bath on going
to bed, even 10 the hot nights of sum-
mer, Is better reliever of insomnia
than many drugs.
