Lend Your Books.

The article Of Ida Kays, on the sub
ject Of "Lending Books" is an article
''after my own heart" 1t seems to me
that we should each and all try to do as
much good as we can in the world, and
how can we do as much, and so easily,
as by lending our neighboEs good books
and papers?
There is much to be learned from good
books, and il we are 30 fortunate as to
possess them, why should we store them
away on our library shelves, after read
ing them ourselves? Like "Ida," /
think the value of all good things, books
as well as others, is increased by being
shared with our friends and neighbors.
Indeed, / have had strangers come to
me for book, or paper, and have been
glad to accommodate them. | like to
think that l can do that much good in
the world, as some return for the many
blessings which have fallen to my lot.

stow a cup OF cold water in His name,

Kitchen Chat.

From various correspondents cooking
suggestions have been received which
are we'll worth repeating for the benefit
of the Home queen readers, but there is
space for only few in this number.
Keep the lid off when boiling cabbage,
turnips, peas, or beans. Fresh cabbage
and turnips should be cooked very fast
in salted water for half an hour.
Peas lose their sweetness if pickle d
long before they are cooked. To remedy
this shell them into cold water before
cooking, and add teaspoonful Of sugar
to the water in boiling.
In cooking fruit it should be remem-
bered that sugar does not counteract
acidity; it simply disguises it. A very
small pinch of carbonate of soda will
save sugar, and at the same time make
the dish more palatable and more whole
some.
The way to singe chickens is to put
two tablespoonfuls of alcohol in shallow
tin dish, touch match to it, and hold
the chicken over the blaze. The intense
heat from the burning alcohol leaves the
chicken absolutely clean in a few
moments, and there is no smoke from
burning per.--HOne Queen.

seldom more than 500 feet wide at
greatest destruction; it moves, generally,
from southwest to northeast, and rarely
extends more than twenty miles; il
very often rises in the air, to descend
again at point a few miles ahead; it is
always accompanied by thunderstorms
with often a bright glow in the
cloud; this cloud has usually a
funnel shape, which appears to be
whirling, though some observers have
described it's appearance like that of a
huge ball rolling forward. A tornado
may be considered as the result of an
extreme development Of conditions which
otherwise produce thunderstorms.
ga cyclone, on the other hand, is a
very broad storm, oftentimes 1000 miles
in diameter, and sometimes can be
followed half around the world; the winds
circulate about it from right to left, or
the way one turns clock hands backward
I'm Lhe Southern hemisphere this motion
is reversed). The air pressure always
falls as ono approaches the center,
where, at sea, there is portentous calm;
with clear sky visible at times. The
cyclone winds often rise to hurricane
force, but are not to be compared with
the extreme violence of the tornado, be-
fore which the most solid structures are
raZed.
"The French term trOmbe or tOurbiJLon
describes almost exactly the tornado,
which term was first applied to severe
squalls, with funnel-shsped clouds,
experienced on the west coast Of Africa,
and which, to this day, inspire the
utmost fear in the minds of the natives"

What Boys Should Learn.

There are a great many things boys,
while boys, should learn. And if they
learn these lessons so we'll as never to
forget them during life, they will prove
OF great hep to them oftentimes when
they need help.
Among other things boy should learn,
these may be named:
1. Not to tease boys and girls smaller
than themselves.
2. Not to take the easiest chair in the
room, put it in the pleasantest place, and
forget to offer it to mother when she
comes to sit down.
3. To treat mother as politely as if she
were a strange lady who did not spend
her life in their service.
A. To be as kind and helpful to sisters
as they expect their sistersto be to them.
5. To make their friends among good
boys.
6. To take pride in being gentleman
at home.
7. To take mother into their confidence
il they do anything wrong; and above
all, never lie about anything they have
done.
8. To make up their minds not to learn
to smoke, gamble or drink, remembering
these things are terrible drawbacks to
good men, and necessities to bad ones

woman should Have Her Wey At Home.

WUA@M CAVNu AA~Ho AAOE Wuy ~ nOA6s
The attention OF women who still hes
itate to be married is called to recent
decision Of the Appellate court in New
York sustaining the decision of Judge
Gildersleeve in Simon vs.. Simon. The
facts were that the husband discharged
a French governess against his Wife's
wish; the wife left him and went back
to her father; husband and wife both ap-
piled for a separation and neither got
one. Justice Williams of the Appellate
court explained that while the husband
was legally the head Of the family, prac-
tically the wife should have her way at
home and be allowed to manage and
control the details Of housekeeping and
servants. "An intelligent womsn," says
the court, SHOULD certainly not be sub
ject to humiliation by her husband by
the assertion that he is master and she
must obey him." We all knew tFat be-
fore, but it makes for the reinsurance Of
the fair, and the encouragement Of good
manners, to have it definitely stated by
two courts, says life.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another from nervous exhaustion or pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they all present alike to
themselves and their eaSy-going and indif-
ferent or oVer-busy doctor, separate and
distinct diseases, for which he prescribes
his pills and potions, assuming them to be
such, when, in reality, they are only symp-
toms caused by some womb disease. The
physician, ignorant of the CAUSE Of suffer-
ing, encourages his practice until large bills
are made. The suffering patient gets no
better, but probably worse, by reason of
the delIY, wrong treatment and consequent
complications. A proper medicine, like DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, DIRECTED
TO THE CAUSE, would have entirely removed
the disease, thereby dispelling all those
distressing symptoms and lnstituting COM
fort instead of prolonged misery.

To Cure Headaches.

"a hot bath, stroll in the fresh air,
shampooing the head in weak soda-water,
or timely nap in cool, quiet room viii
sometimes stop a nervous headache"
writes DR.. B. F. Herrick in August
Ladies Home Journal. "When over
fatigued from shopping or sightseeing q
sponge dipped in very hot water and
pressed repeatedly over the back Of the
neck between the ears will be found
exceedingly refreshing, especially il the
face and temples are aiterward subjected
to the same treatment. Neuralgia is
caused not only by cold air but by
aoidity Of the stomach, starved nerves,
imperfect teeth, or by Incidence com
bined with too generous diet. Heat
is the best and quickest cure for this
distressing pain. A hot hst-iron, passed
rapidly and deftly over several folds Of
flannel laid on the affected spot, will
often give relief in less than ten minutes,
without the aid Of medicine. Hot
lamentations are Of equal value; though
when the skin is very tender it is more
advisable TO use dry heat, nothing being
better for the purpose than bags Of
heated salt, -four or sand, which retain
warmth for a long time. Cold water,

In front OF the ear, has been known to
dispel neuralgia pains like magic. When
caused by acidity a dose Of charcoal or
soda will usually act as a corrective.
Sick headache is accompanied by bilious
symptoms, and attacks usually come on
when the person is overtired or below par
physically. This is a disease Of the first
half Of life, and often stops Of its own
accord after middle age. A careful diet
is imperative in every case, sweetmeats
and pastry being especially perniciOus.
"Esting heartily when very tired, late
dinners, eating irregularly, insufficient
mRstication or too much animal food,
especially in the spring or during the hot
weather, are frequent causes Of indiges-
tion, causing headaches by reflex action"

The Sailor Hat and the Shirt Waist.

The sailor hat and the shirt waist must
have one certain quality. They must
be fresh and spotless. That spick.span
look 80 attractive in freshly laundered
shirt waist and in sailor collar worn for
the first time must never be absent.
With this quality present the sailor and
shirt waist are acceptable In all summer
company.
To keep the shirt waist thus simple
material and plain design are necessary
The plated front, the full sleeves and
the slight blouse are best, with the
turned-over collar of the same material.

A Fruitful Desert.

The desert of Sahara is not all desert.
In 1892 more than 100000 sheep
wintered in the Algerian Sahara, paying
duty of 1,763,OOO francs ($352,OOO).
These sheep were worth 20 francs (s4)
apiece, or in all 175,OOOOOO francs. The
Sahara nourishes also 100000 goats and
100000 camels, paying duty Of 1,OO0,-
900 francs. In the GASES palms, citrons
andRpricots abound; there are cultivated
also onions, pimentos and various
leguminous vegetables. The oases con-
tain 100000 date palms, on which the
duty is 100000 francs. The product of
a date tree varies from 8 to 10 francs;
these Of the desert give about 100000

A Use for Cherry Pits.

A visitor was dining with q French
woman, who certainly has a reputation
for economy. A cherry pie had been on
the table, and the mistress ordered that
all stones we're to be scraped from the
plates and placed in her store room.
Venturing to ask the reason, the visitor
was told that not only cherry, but plum,
peach and all stones, whether cooked
or raw, were invariably saved, gently
dried in the oven, and kept in great
jar. "Then," says madam, sin the win

householder to own two leather fir
buckets with which he was to appear al
every fire within a certain distance, tt
render such assistance as he could under
the directions Of the fire wardens. Fire
wardens were first appointed in Augusta
In 1899, although the history of Kennebee
| county records a fire engine having been
bought at an earlier date (1796)
Fire wardens were really important
officers and were appointed by the town
authorities. The late Mr.. James Bridge,
in telling about the earlier days of the fire
department, said that, in the early days
of Augusta, when an alarm was sounded
everyone ran carrying pals and buckets.
When the fire was reached long lines were
formed by the wardens who were armed
with long red poles with an AK and hook
on the end. These lines extended from
the scene OF the fire to the nearest water
supply, generally the Kennebec. and up
one line went the full buckets which
were passed rapidly and returned empty
down the other. Mr.. Bridges father and
Mr.. Williams gave the first church and
fire bell in Augusta.
The wsrdcns compelled both sexes
to take part, especially in more extensive
conflagratiors; it being the custom to put
women and children On the empty bucket
line. Did the wardens note any soldier
ing on the line, it was customary to put
more alacrity into the movements of the
fircmen by giving sharp prods with the
goardlike points of their insignia of office.
So, too, if they saw anyone leaving the
ranks, the hook would reach around the
deserter S neck or into the fullest part of

he would be gently but forcibly returned
to his place in the ranks.
"Aftcr the fire, each man would retain
his buckets which were all marked with
the names Of the owners, and gathering
his women and children together, would
return home. Many of the older families
still possess these old fire buckets but the
most of them have gone the way of all
the earth.
Years ago there used to be long lines
of them hanging in the State capitol
Each bore painting of the State seal and
the words State of Maine and the
number Of the bucket; but these gave
away to moro modern appliances some
twenty or thirty years ago
"The military spirit ran high through
out the country always, until the horrors
of the Rebellion taught the people for
more than a generation the awfulness of
