Frame your pictures simply" writes
William Martin johnson In The Ladies'
Home Journal "The frame should not be
noticeable except where 1t is needed for
decorative purposes. Oils require the gold,
not gilt, frame. The shadows in a gold
frame are neutral and do not interfere with
the color scheme of a painting. Aquarelles
should be given usuallya wide white mat,
which will give the delicate tones chance
for life. A narrow white molding will
never offend the eye. do not advise the
natural wood in frames, except ON archi-
tectural subjects or mechanical drawings
then they are consistent. Frame photo
graphs either with a mat or without This,
of course, depends upon the size. The fla,
oak molding stained dark green and close
up to the photograph is good, or use a gray
or green mat passe partout. Engravings
etchings or drawings are more satisfactory
in black frames They seem to lend color
to pictures in monochrome.

Artificial Milk For Children.

Medical scientists more than any other
class Of persons realize the necessity for
some substitute for milk for feeding in
fants and young children.
There are so many imperfectly nourisbed
babies and so many little ones that show
unmista kable indications of wrong feeding
that the chemist and the doctor are becom-
ing concerned as to the future health and
development of bottle babies. The one
COW S milk idea has ceased to be attractive,
and doctors and nurses long since lost faith
in it, Even the COW selected with the ut
most care from the best conditioned herd
and kept in the most approved way may
become source OF evil by developing I'M
suspected diseases.
In view of these facts, experiments have
been made with new preparation which
is to be substituted for ordinary diluted
milk. This mixture is composed of cows
milk, veal bouillon, sugar of milk and
cream, and Is prepared as follows: "A
piece of veal weighing 50 ounces Is al
lowed to boil for 40 minutes in II ounces
of water. After this is finished sufficient
quantity of water is added TO increase the
amount of bouillon to II ounces. A mix
ture of 750 grains each of cows milk and
of veal bouillon contains only 1885 per
cent of fat, and in order to complete tho 3
per cent of fat IA teaspoonful of cream Is
added, together with SO grains of sugar of
milk"

TIL, Feet Govern the Complexion

1t may not be generally known that the
feet are an excellent index to the state of
health, and that the more care given to
these useful appendages of the human form
show a marked improvement in the com
plexion.
The feet should be kept warm and dry.
The feet need frequent bathing, u nightly
bath If possible, in warm water and u brisk
rubbing with dry, coarse towel. The
glands, or pores, of the feet are among the
largest of the human frame; consequently
the necessity of keeping them in the hest
order will be readily appreciated. The
color Of the feet are also IA good index to
health. When In fair condition, the soles
and heels, the tips Of the toes and narrow
edge on the outside of the foot will be II
rosy, blushlike pink, the tops will be white,
and the nails will shine with a pearly, faint
ly pink luster If person is debilitated or
an9mic or in a low state of vitality, the
feet will indicate the fact more readily
than the face. The heel, instead of blush
ing a tender, rosy pink, will show liyid,
greenish yellow. The soles and toes will
also pale to yellowish hue, and "A general
toughness of the cuticle of the soles " i'll
become apparent.
The healthful exercise of the functions

the complexion. Thick, ford or oily
skins, that local treatment is thrown away
upon, will show noticeable improvement
If treated through the feet. If the color is
too high, or habitual, unbecoming flush
overspreads the face, hot foot bath upon
retiring will decrease the unbecoming
blush to a genteel pallor.
If the soles of the feet show disposition
to harden and tougher, treat them to a
vigorous course of massage. Battle 90

Discretion In Dress Matters.

Women, ! think, are coming to see the
advantage in owning a large number of
hats and small number of gowns. HATS,
more easily than dresses, are changed to
follow the fashion. by freshening the Of
feet Of the millinery apparently the whole
costume is remodeled.
remember hearing it said that any
woman who had one perfect fitting black
1rcss could, through buying new hat ev-
cry three weeks, gain for herself, II she de-
sired it, the reputation of being the best
dressed woman in town. There Is much
truth in that.
A black dress of no pronounced style
and weight of fabric may be worn any
where at any season. With an alpine or
sailor hat 1t does for the promenade and
for shopping. Worn with picture
head covering, one luxuriant with feathers
and gay bits, it serves for visiting use. A
tinseled bonnet tops it for the theater or
in modest way for the opera.
Once l really knew woman who paid
S125, nearly all the money she had, to the
most fashionable tailor in New York for
the neatest thing he could turn out in tho
way of black cloth frock. That woman

Hats are not such remarkably expensive

learn how many fashionable woman pay S.

them to make all their hats at home. Even
women with quantities of money are COM

cost no more than Sc.
One who has some skill and yet is not
sure of her ability to develop becoming de-
signs, and who is unwilling, as many are,
to go about in the shops trying on hats
only to purloin the designs, may like this
plan-that of going to one store where she
Is sure she will find number of pleasing

buying one hat outright If she Is as

Home Discomfort.

woman with no care of home or who
ehirks domestic duties because they are I'M
pleasant may owe this defect to training as
much as to nature. There are men who
perform all tasks perfunctorily and have
no love for work. Women have more cause
for the discomfort of domestic drudgery,
because IL is more monotonous than the
employment of most men. If there is trou-
BILE in the house, the wife is left to solitary
brooding, while the man goes out among
his fellows and soon finds distraction. Co
ing out is a change; returning home is an
other. By evening the events of the day
have driven away the cares of the morning.
Had the wife the same opportunities, her
little troubles would sit as lightly upon
her.
Where there is discomfort there is usually
q local cause, which may be removed. II
it is characteristic, it is pitiable. The nor
mally discontinued woman is a hypochon-
driac, suffering from a mental disorder
which needs such tonics as are usually
given to grief. The trials of wife and
mother will appeal to most men as afford
ing some extenuation. The monotony Of
domestic duty and the more limited oppor-
tunities for daily change will suggest toler-
ant consideration and efforts to afford her
relief even unknown to herself There is a
wide range between the discontinued with
irksome and dreary routine-the aspiration
for more pleasant if not more commend
able occupation - and that discomfort
which comes of pampered selfishness 1t
will require fully as much consideration
and tactful attention on the part of the
husband to ameliorate it as effort on the
part of the wife. And in tho husband s Of
forts will II reward be found in the oxalta-
ton of his own character, even If it fail

The Almost Ineoneeivablo Amount of Lum
her CIT IN Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The Almost Uncomfortable Amount of Lnn-
Der Cut In wisconsin and Minnesota.
1.-The Story Of Pine Board is the
title Of an article by W S. HARDWOOD in
st. Nicholas Mr. Harwood says Of the
numbering in Wisconsin and Minnesota:
About /, 1G0, coo, 600 feet of logs
were cut in the season of 1895-that IS
to say. what is equivalent to 4, 100, 00O,
coo pieces Of board IL inches square and
/ inch think. Iwonder if even the lum-
Der men themselves, and the log cutters,
and tho manufacturers of lumber in the
great mills, realize what an enormous
amount of lumber this is. Why. it
would build a house around tho globo,
with main room ton feet high and a
largo attic, ceiling up tho inside walls
and roof with sweet, fragrant Pine. 1t
would put down a matched floor, and
then, when the house was all com
pleted, thoro would be left enough lum-
Der to build tight beard fences on either
side Of the house 8 4 feet high the whole
distance around tho globe Besides all
this there would be shingles enough for
q good portion of the house, and then,
if the mighty builder of such globe
girdling house wanted to fit it up lit
tie moro neatly, there would be large
supply of laths, and, l suppose, tho
plastercrs could furnish him enough
stueco and limo.
Or If he wanted to construct roof
shelter for all the people on the globe
our mighty builder could accommodate
them all, allowing to each man, woman
and child clear space Of two square
feet in which to stand, and still have
room left over for 500 900, 900 men
with tho same room in which to stand
And, to look ct 1t in still another way,
this same builder would have material
to construct a bicycle path of pine, lit
tie over two feet wide, from the earth
to tho moCn for there would be nearly
500, 900 miles of board foot wide and
an inch thick In saving this lumber up
into the required length and thickness
there was a great waste in sawdust-so
great, indeed, that tho sawdust pile
would stand lI9 feet high ON q city
square and 500 feet square at the base,
and this is saying nothing about the
vast amount of pieces of slabs which
are split up into kindlings.
This enormous quantity of lumber
represents merely the output Of two
forests-ono ia the northwestern part Of
the state of Wisconsin, and the other in
the northern part of the state Of Mime
sofa, and at the rate the logs are being
cut up there will not be a piece Of pine
forest standing in all this vast region at
tho end Of ten years unless something Is
done by the government to put stop
to the ravages
