The Axe of Women.

The common objection among wom-
ankind to letting their ages be known
is not shared by the women of Japan,
who actually display their age in the
arrangement of their hair. Girls from
nine to fifteen wear their hair inter-
laced With red Grape describing half
circle around the head, the forehead
being left free with curl at each side.
From Is to 30, the hair is dressed very
high in the forehead, and put up at the
back in the shape of a fan or butterfly,
with interlacing of silver cord and dec
Grafton of colored balls. Beyond 30 a
woman twists her hair around a shell
pin, placed horizontally at the back

themselves and whether or not they de-

KEEPING CRACKERS.
Some Valuable Advice for GrOcera
and Housewives.

Some Valuable Advice for GrOcers
and Housewives.
Complaints are frequently heard that
crackers bought at grocery stores are
soggy and stale-tasting, even when
comparatively fresh.
The fault is in the way they are kept
Crackers demand a warm, dry place.
and they should not be stored near oil,
fish or other strong smelling goods
Great care should be exercised by gro
GERS in this respect. The cracker trade
is one of the most important features
Of a general grocery business, and it
should be taken care of. Crackers
should be purchased in small quantities,
so that they will not have time to get
stale before being sold. They should be.
kept, as stated, in a warm, dry place,
and customers should be advised t.,
place them in the oven few minutes
before using. This will restore their
crispiness, even though they have be-
come damp and soggy.
All the care in the world, however:
will not build up a cracker trade if
the crackers are not pure and fresh and

ing to get the best the mar
ket affords, then push the trade for
all there is in it. One lot of stale.

.lGary's Eirst Annual Report.


Washington. Nov. 15.-The first annual
report Of Postmaster-General James A.
cary to the president, is made public. Its
feature Is the strong advocacy of postal
savings repositories. as a scheme over
"h1ca -Postmaster-General Gary has
ton Of plans to present to the president
ana congress. He says the time is ripe for
their establishment, and that the adoption
OF q well-organized system would confer
a great boon upon large number of people
and ultimately be of inestimable benefit to
the whole country. The estimates Of the
revenues and expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1892. are:
Total postal revenue for 1897, So, CO., 4e2 70:
add five per cent. 81, 1873, 273.13. Estimated
revenue for 1898. ss6. 79s, 1886; add seven
per cent, $6.O75.9u.51. Total estimated rev.
enue for 1899. s92,S74. 647.37: estimated ex-
pendtures for 1898. 1892, 7GO; deficiency
for 1899. estimated, $604s. 112.63.
Fillowing Is an abstract of the report:
The increase of the postal deficit for 1897
is largely reflection of the depressed busi-
ness conditions which prevailed all over
the United States during the first three
quarters Of that period. There has been
no extravaganza of expenditure save that
obligated by law. Reiterating the injustice
inflicted both upon the postal revenues
and the people by second-class mail mat
ter carriage regulations, the enactment by
congress of some measure to remedy the
wrong, similarly pointed out by past post
masters general, is urged.
The experimental rural free delivery has
been generously appreciated; few expendi-
lures have conferred greater benefits in pro-
portion, and it has unQuestionably proved a
potent factor in attaining what should be a
chief aim of government, the granting
OF the best possible postal facilities to the
farming class.
The report reviews in detail the opera
tons Of the various branches Of the Depart
ment. The portion on the subject of postal
savings, in brief, follows: MANY millions
OF dollars are undoubtedly secreted by peo-
pie who have little or no confidence in or
binary securities and monetary institutions
organized by private citizens. 1t is dead
capital, but if its owners could be inspired
with absolute confidence in t.s security of
an investment. it is altogether probable
that the bulk Of this fund would find it's
way into the channels Of trade and CON-
| merce. If the government undertook this
task, the service would undoubtedly be
gladly accepted by the people. Their faith
in the government is unbounded Their

For the Baby.s BOuloir.

The newest convenience for the
baby's boudoir is big-bowled, long
handled spoon of yellow wood. The
bowl is a painting of a scene from the
land of fairies or nursery ditties. The
classic COW performing her little aerial
feat, Simple Simon, Little Boy Blue,
Little Nan Ettycoat and other familiar
personages ornament the bowl, whose
curling edges make a frame for the
gay little figures. All along the handle
of the spoon are placed brass hooks, and
when it is fastened to the wall by a
larger and more solid hook placed at
the back it makes an ornamental and
very useful little rack for the chill
dren's clothes.

1t Adds to the Beauty of Maid as Well
as MatrOn.
There are many things in the lives OF
women which tend to develop carriage
of the body anything but upright.
Girls who tend the baby become one
sided because they carry the little one
on one arm more than the other. They
might be taught the better way by their
parents or teachers. There are multi
| tudes of little girls in all large cities
whose chief business is to tend the baby
| while their mothers work. Deformity
is common among them. If a girl has
any pride in being upright in body as
| we'll as in morals, she can, even if she
has an occupation which tends to make
her crooked, do much herself to pre-
vent it. In the first place carefully
cultivate the sense which tells her when
she is standing straight and when she is
not. BY paying attention to this
muscular sense it becomes in time
very acute. By neglecting it the sense
becomes dull-is paralyzed. Cultivate
it daily or several times day by as
Stunning the upright attitude. Stand be-
lore the glass anu see when you are
straight, or get friend to tell you, and
then put yourself in this attitude
whenever you stand or walk, or sit at
any labor in which you are engaged.
If you have only to walk across the
room. do it in an upright attitude. If
you have only to stand and converse
with friend in the street, on the road,
at party. get yourself so accustomed
to the upright attitude that you will
feel uncomfortable in any other. In
time an upright habit will be estab-
lished, and constant attention to it will
not be Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
