Emblematie Of Perpetual Union.

1t is a question which no one can
answer, what becomes of the flags which
fly session after session over the two
houses of Congress. The life of a flag
exposed at such height to the latter
ing winds naturally cannot be long.
Every now and then, after storm, q
great rent is seen in "Old Glory" as it
proclaims from the housetop that our
statesmen are celebrating. Sometimes
the edges only are frsyed, sometimes
a stripe is gone, or, perhaps, half the stars
may be torn away. Then in day or two
it flies again with all its stripes and its
stars, as if it had never suffered by the
storm.
asked what became Of the old flags.
Nobody knew.
What do you do with them?
Nothing.
They are the same flags. That is,
there are no new ones. The old flags are
simply mended. There is a patriotic
poem in this. "Old Glory" has q
perpetual life; that is, the "Old Glory"
that presides over the Capitol. When a
stripe blows away new one is put in its
place, and the same old flag is pulled to
the head Of the staff. If it is the blue
field and stars that is gone this is
reproduced. II only rent, it is darned;
IL a hole, it is patched. Then another
stripe goes, and new one is added. So
on, the old portions are blown away, the
newer standing until the new becomes
the old in turn and tears away, and in
endleas revolution the old flag lives on.

TO Keep the Hands Soft.

A little ammonia or borax in che water,
just lukewarm, will keep the skin clean
and soft. A little oatmeal mixed with
shO water will whiten the hands.
Many people use glycerine on their
hands when they 80 to bed, wearing
gloves to keep the bedding from being
soiled; but glycerine makes some skins
harsh and red. Such people should rub
their hands with dry oatmeal, and wear
gloves in bed.
The best preparation for the hands at
night Is white Of egg, with grain Of alum
dissolved in it.
"Roman toilet paste" is merely white
OF egg, barley, -four and honey.
tt is said that it was used by the Ro-
mans in olden times Anyway, it is
flr5t-rate thing; but it is mean, sticky
stuff to use, and does not do the work
any better than oatmeal. The toughest
and hardest hands can be made soft and
white in months time by doCtoring
them little at bedtime.
Lemon will remove stains from the
hands. Manicures use acids in the shop,
but the lemon is quite as good and isn't
poisonous, while the acids are. You

Skating In Holland.

In Holland skates are in almost con-
slant use throughout the winter. The
people travel great distances from one
town to another for pleasure, holding
each other by the hand or by the waist.
The groups are sometimes seen in Indian
file, joined by a long pole which they
carry under the arm, thus moving along
as if they were a single person. The
villagers and their wives thus come from
a distance to the markets. The heavy
burdens are placed on sledges, which
the men push before them. Eggs, milk,
and fruit, ranged in brilliant vases, are
carried on the head by the women, and
balanced SO correctly that they do not
require to be stesdied by the band.

Wood Smoke is Healthy.

The healthfulness Of people who
breathe air bearing the odors of resinous
trees has long been known. The smoke
from the burning Of resinous wood has
very powerful disinfecting properties,
and that also in moderate degrees is
heslthful TO breathe. The carbonic acid
gas found in all smoke is poisonous, but
that is heavier and remains near the
ground, while the upper strata of air
carries the resinous odors In cases of
sickness it is help to guard against
infection to burn small pieces of resinoCs
wood, and allow its smoke to mix with
the atmosphere in the house.-The

Successive use Of alcoholic drinks is

WOnan,s PrIvlIeges in Finland.

Finland is not large, just mere speck
on the map Of nations, but no country
offers more privileges to women. For
some time women have been employed
in situations formerly occupied by men
only. They have women as clerks,
managers Of companies, doctors, dentists,
bank cashiers, and even as house build
srs. 1t is said these women workers are
more honest than men, too. This
emancipation is not confined to the So
called lower classes. The Baroness

and scraps standing ready for a bath
in this not very inviting liquid.
The scientific dish-washer either
scrspes off or rinses off all loose particles
from her dishes before she puts them
into the water. She begins with the
larger plates, putting them into the pan
first, then adding them by sizes until the
pan is full. Cups and other articles are
placed around, then over sll is poured
hot soapsuds, not boiling hot, but quite
as warm as the hands can be put into
comfortably. Theeups and gaueers are,
of course, the Cleanest things. These
are washed first, and by the time she has
reached the plates that may DO greasy,
they are warmed through and are cleaned
with much more ease than as though
they were suddenly put into the water
and washed off. At this stage it is q
good plan to put into the water, In
addition to soap, teaspoonful Of wash
ing soda, which should be kept in o
convenient vessel over the sink. It takes
scarcely more than half of the time to
wash dishes in this way.
One good housekeeper has a dishpan
almost double the usual size. In it every
dish is put-silver and all-then the hot
water is poured on, large quantity be-
ing used, and this is really an economy
in time and strength, provided water is
plenty. AS for greasy dish-water, good
housekeepers should never have it. An
abundance Of hot water, good soap, a
little soda and dishes properly scrsped
off before beginning are all that is re-
CURED. Dish-cloths are among the neg
lected items in kitchen economy. AS q
rule, it takes good deal Of nerve to
touch the average dish-cloth. 1t should
be one of the first lessons taught to the
young housekeeper that her dish-cloths
should be immaculate. II never hang
my dish-cloths up until they are so clean
that I could use them as napkins, were
it necessary" was the instruction OF q
noted teacher Of household science. It
pays to take time to put the dish-psn,
kitchen sink and cooking utensils in ex-
cellent order. II sense and soda are
used, but little additional time is re-
quired, and the satisfaction OF it is ample
compensation.
