MATCH BOXES FOR GIRLS.
Another of Mans Prerogatives Seized
Upon by the New woman

Another of Mans Prerogatives Seized
Upon by the New Woman.
Until this year the match box has
been the unquestioned, exclusive prop
erty of man. Never once did he think
of such a thing as the fairer sex borrow
ing it. He may have had presentment
of her laying claim to his necktie, but
his matchboN-never.
But the bicycle girl. who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
siege to mans matchbox. If she con-
templates riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp. and neces-
sarily she must carry them in a match
box.
That is the reason that there are any
number of new match boxes this year
which are smaller and more dainty than
anything in this line ever seen before
do girls buy them?" a prominent
ieweler was asked. To which question
he answered.: Eyes, indeed. The
smaller sizes are made particularly for
their special use.'
The prettiest of the new match boxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enamehng either takes
the form of college or yacht club flag
or it resembles a hand-painted minia-
ture showing a girl on a wheel or the
head of dog Many of these match
boxes are made with concealed recess
for photograph. It is only when a
certain spring is touched that the pic
ture can be seen, so slillfully is it hidden
away.
The silver matchboxes. decorated
with the outline Of tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less ex-
pensive.-N. Y. Journal

Use of Fingers At Table.

Do not be appalled, if olives are
proffered you on dish unaccompanied
by an olive fork. The use of the fingers
in this case is allowable. Saratoga
chips may be also thus handled. In
France the various green salads for
which that country is famous are pre-
pared at the table by the dainty hands
of the hostess, and the practice Of tear
ing the leaves of lettuce apart with the
fingers instead of cutting with fork is
gaining ground among Americans.

Piano Seats and Drapery.

The straight back of an upright piano
has inspired the brain Of many house
wife to the invention of new kinds of
drapery. But no matter how new the
drapery or how ample its folds, the OBJ
ject is always obvious. To assist il and
to give it reason for being most be-
coming background, the latest fashion
of piano seats is as clever as it is COM
Portable. These seats may be with or
without backs and should be placed di-
rectly against the piano, where the
drapery falls. The Recamier bench, in
which any woman might fancy she
would look well after gazing upon the
fair Recamier as she reclines against its
one arm, is peculiarly fitted to accom-
plish the pleasing result sought by the
housewife.

she was not wise in this reticency, for
portraits that in no wise hattered her
began to appear, and at last she sue
cumbed with the best grace possible
and sat for her photograph for publica-
ton. This picture was taken since Mr..
Sewall's nomination, and is her latest
photograph. The wife of the Maine can
didate was Miss Emily Duncan Croker
and the daughter of one of Baths most
respected citizens. She was educated
abroad and has spent much time on the
continent. She is a wide reader and of
more than ordinary culture. Mrs. Sc
wallis ancestors were among the earli-
est settlers of Brunswick, Me-, and she
loves to visit the scene of her ancient
home. She is a clever amateur photog-
rapher, loves flowers, delights in good
literature, and is not averse to music.
Mrs. Sewall agrees with her husband in
politics. Their son, Harold NJ, who
was consul to Samoa. is a stanch re-
publican.

FREEZING ICE CREAM.

Sure Succeed.
DO not draw any water from the ice
while freezing unless water raises to
top of can. The can should be only two
thirds full of milk, as it will raise one
third while freezing. After the milk
has been placed in the can, put the
freezer together ready for operation,
mash the ice and sprinkle coarse salt on
until it stops cracking. (The ice may
be previously prepared). Then put the
ice around the can and add more salt.
When the freezing is completed remove
the beaters and cover the freezer with
carpet or wooden cloth and let the ice
cream harden one-half hour before
serving. After frozen, beating the
cream with a large spoon o. wooden

Their Education should Not End with
Learning to Mount and Ride.

Learning to Mount and Ride.
When the average young woman
learns to dismount without bruising
herself, and to mount without the as
sistance of large body guard. she fond
" imagines that her woes are at an end.
She does not foresee the repair shop;
her prophetic soul gives her no warning
of the punctured tire; the mantle of the
seer does not fall upon her. and she
has no hint of mornings spent in the
basement area cleaning her machine.
She does not guess that course III
practical mechanics should be taught
at the cycling academy.
Every woman who intends to ride
should learn TO adjust her saddle and
the handle bars. Before she goes for q
ride she should test the saddle to see if
it is perfectly drm. If it is not she
should be able to tighten it. If she rides
at night she should see that her lamp is
filled and trimmed, that its glass is
clear, and that it is firmly fastened in
its place. so that no jolts or jars will dis
turb it. OF course, if she rides at night,
she must be provided either with match
es or an escort.
She must also learn the use of the va
rious tools found in the tool box. She
may spend many a pleasant hour in
cleaning and oihng her wheel. All the
parts which are the centers of revolu-
ton should be kept scrupulously clean.
The dust of the road enters the crevices
and combines with the oil in a way
that is fatal to speed and case in pro-
pelling the machine. Cheesecloth rags
which are free from lint should be
used to clean these parts. They should
be oiled once for about every 100 miles
if the cyclist be fairly frequent patron
of the road, and about once fortnight
if she does not ride often or far at a
time.
When the chain begins to look clogged
1T should be removed and soaked in kerr
osene to clean it. Then it should be
thoroughly dried, rubbed with some
good lubricant, and restored to its posi-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

Valuable Hints Explained by Equally VAL
liable illustrations.
The joints of two drainpipes may be
made either on the same level or with
one above the other. The level joint
has the advantage that no loss of fall
ensues; while the disadvantage is that
toads can more readily get in. join
ing on different levels is more easily
done, and is more secure against the
entrance of toads; but i causes loss of
fall. Joining at equal heights must
not be done by cutting the larger pipe
in the side and sticking the end of the
smaller one in the opening, as this
reduces the cross-section of the collect

quired. It is only necessary, then, to
lutte the joint with clay, rs seen in Fig.
2, to make it tight and keep it in place.
Greater security against getting out
of place may be secured by ring
around the hole in the collector, laid on
when green, and burned so as to form
part thereof. The form of special piece
shown in Fig. 2 may be used for a
joint at different levels, but in this case
the feeder-line requires similar, but
smaller piece, closed at one end and hay-
ing a hole made in its fat side, and
two cross-pieces added to prevent the
sliding of the feeder, before burning
(see Figs. 3 and ~.
In laying drain pipe the last piece
of the feeder-line must always rest on
virgin soil; this insures it's remaining
in place and the joint remaining tight.
Where the end piece of the feeder rests
securely on the collector, but insecurity
on the other end, the joint would be
opened by the setting of the pipe. A
very acute junction is to be avoided, as
the feeder would not have firm bed;
when the lines would otherwise meet
at an acute angle, there should be a
slight later detour made. Lastly, when
preparing for overlapping joints, the
laborer must be accustomed always to
make the trench bottom for the feeder
higher than that for the collector. The
vital point in successful tile drainage,
after the grades have been established,
is to give attention to properly laying
the tile.-Robert Grimshaw, in Amer

brick, or tiles, or mortar, or cement.
Joints between pipes en- the different
levels are so made, according to the
method recommended by Knehn: A
round hole is made in the collector and
one in the feeder, with a pointed ham
mer; and this must be of the same
size. The joint is then, as shown in
Fig. /, luted with ring of clay, and the
end of the feeder plugged with brick
and clay to avoid washing away of

stoppage. Where it is inconvenient or
too expensive to get proper T-pieces,
the joint can be made by roofing tiles
or their equivalent, or pieces of drain
pipe, and cement. The end.of the feed
er must be brought up to a joint be-
tween two sections of collector, which
are broken away on the ends so as TO
leave an opening; but the end of the
feeder must not project into this; the
joint must be built up by pieces of
