SCHOOL Dresse. for Girls.

The head of well-known school for
girls in speaking of appropriate school
dresses advised the use OF lightweight
materials. Light gaSments of serge
or cashmere should be worn," she said,
"and clothes of extra warmth for out
doors. Children dressed too warmly
complain of the heat of the schoolroom
and ask to have windows opened, which
is impossible. White aprons for little
girls keep them always fresh and dainty.
If it be incuicated that II soiled apron or
hair ribbon shows a lack of refinement,
they soon acquire habits of daintiness
in fhe care of their clothes. One thing
1 should like to emphasize is that it is
unfortunate that children are obliged to
wear out clothes which were made for
best in the schoolroom. IL would
seem to be much better to give them
away to poorer relatives and keep al
ways simple gowns for everyday wear"

WOMAN AND HOME.
EYES MADE LOVELY.
Various ways to Denutify the Win
dows of the Soul.

various ways to Bcnuttfy the WIN
dows of the Soul.
Madame may change the hue and tex
ture of her hair and improve upon ma |
ture in the matter of skin by course
of treatment. She may gradually de-
velop beautiful arms or a shapely neck, |
and she can call surgery to her aid If the
shape of her nose does not happen to ac-
cord with her standard of beauty. But
she has always been bafIled by her eyes.
There they are, green and narrow, may
be, brown and beady, perhaps, and she
has known that surgery could not
widen them or art change their hue.
But, after all, there are reforms which
may be undertaken with eyes and care
which may be given them which will at
least keep them from being hindrance
to madame's charms.
The appearance of the eyes depends
largely on the lids, eyebrows and eye
lashes. Scanty eyebrows may be
gradually filled out by the application
of pure grease to them every night. The
eyebrows should not be rubbed or
brushed the wrong way. Eyebrow
brushes should be used to apply the
the best.
Vaseline applied to the eyelashes
with great care will increase their
growth, and strolling them upward
gives them the curly tendency, which is
n charm to any eye. Children's eye
lashes may be very slightly clipped at
the ends occasionally, and will grow
longer and better in consequence; but
a grown-up person should on no ac-
count tamper in this way with the
lashes, as it only makes them grow
coarse and stubbly. Even when cut
ting children's eyelashes the very great
EST care should be exercised and only
the very tips should be clipped.
Infamed eyelids may be washed in
rose water. When the eyes feel irrita-
BILE. or there is prickly sensation, they
may be bathed in elderflower water.
The following recipe makes a soothing
and refreshing wash for tired eyes:
Take a quart of soft water, pinch of
coarse salt. and a tablespoonful of
brandy. Mix all well together and
shake the bottle before using the mix
ture. The best time for bathing the
eyes is in the evening.
Beds should always be placed so that
the daylight and suns rays do not
strike the eyes on waking. The light
should come from the side. 1t is also
well to have green or dark blue blinds in
bedrooms. which will effectually pre-
vent the bright light from entering the
room early in the morning.
The eyes should be closed once in
every two or three hours for five or ten
minutes. This rests them and helps
TO preserve their luster. a good diges-
tion is another aid to beautiful eyes
for disordered stomach shows itself in
the yellowish whites of the cyes.-Chi'

SIMPLE HEALTH HINTS.
HyEienic Facts with Which Every
body Should BE Familiar.

body Should BE Familiar.
A simple hygienic fact for many peo-
pie yet to learn is, that the skin of
fruit is no part of the fruit itself,
dietically considered. The bloom of
the peach is a luxuriant growth of mi
crobes, and unwashed grapes, eaten
skins and all. will show 100000 mi
crobes for each fluid ounce of stomach
fluid. These facts are proof positive
of the necessity for thoroughly washing
all raw fruit before it is eaten.
The nape of the neck, the lower part
of the back of the head, the front of the
abdomen and the shins are the chief
regions of the body susceptible to cold.
A chill, however, may be carried to the
nervous system from other parts.
The following rules for avoiding a
cold cannot be too often formulated:
Never let cold air blow on the back OF
the neck or head.
Keep the abdomen warmly clad.
Cover the shins when riding.
Change wet shoes and stockings with
cut delay.
Never sit on stone or on clamp grass.
1t is not generally known that roasted
coffee acts as a valuable disinfectant.
The best mode is to dry the raw bean,
pound it in mortar and then roast the
powder on moderately heated iron
plate until it is of dark brown tint.
Sprinkle it i'll sinks, or expose it on a
plate in any room to be purified

How to Use Old barrels to Make n
Comfortable Couch.


OF three barrels, some boards. few
screws and tacks, some draping mate
rial and an old mattress, a comfortable
and good-loolting couch can be made.
TO make it obtain three good, strong
sugar barrels, and arrange them at reg
ular distance apart, the heads and
bottoms should be fastened secure
ly in place with nails, and to them att
tach two side runners or rails three or
four inches wide and six feet long. Use
stout screws for the purpose, and drive
six or eight through the strip and into
the head of each barrel.
The two end barrels should be joined
first and afterward the middle one. This
precaution is to give an even bearing on
the floor.
Two more strips, each one inch and a
half square, are to be fastened to the un-
der sides of the barrels at the ends near
the heads and bottoms. This rail will
rest on the floor and prevent the couch
from tipping like a cradle, as the bulged
sides of the barrel would cause it to do
if it were not for these strips.
To the top of the barrel platform is
to be attached. This is 30 inches wide

More Dainty Than sachets.

Perfumed dannels in dainty colors
come now for laying in the bottoms of
drawers, and are particularly nice in
drawers where bedding and table linens
are kept. They have the appearance of
ordinary flannel and are sold by the yard
and cut to fit the drawers, the edges be-
ing buttonholed or bound. The flannel
emits delicate perfume, and will scent
every articlein n drawer where it is kept.
The perfume is said to be far more en-
during than any of the sachets COM

harley Water for Fever.

Barley water is very good in cases of
fever, inflammation, etc. 1t allays
thirst and is useful in coughs and colds.
Wash quarter pound of barley, drain
through a colander, put it on in pint
of hot water and boil for five minutes;
strain through a sieve, throwing the
water away. Put to the barley two
quarts of fresh water and boil steadily
for an hour, when strain. Many per-
sons like the thinnest yellow peel Of a

and six feet six inches long; it is made
of matched board and fastened together
with several battens arranged across
the under side. Rails similar to those
placed along the floor are fastened to
the top of the barrels along either side
to prevent the platform tipping on the
tops of the barrels. At one end an in
cline is made similar to the effect shown
in the figure. and when the construc-
tional part is thus far completed the
framework is ready to be upholstered.
Obtain an old hair mattress not more
than so inches wide-a single bed mat
tress is the right size-and tie it fast to
the top of the platform. Over this draw
the cretonne, denim or other goods for
the covering, and tack it fast all'around
to the edge of the platform.
Make n fiounce of the required length
and gather it on stout cord; allow full
ness enough and tack it fast to the
same edge over the top covering. The
edge may be trimmed with gimp and
nails. The nails should be driven quite
close together, so the drapery may not
be dragged away. as the continual ac.
ton and use would soon make it look
untidy if it were not properly fas-
tened.
With the addition of a pretty couch
cover, some sofa pillows and a Gov
erlet that can be drawn over one
when reclining, this couch will present
comfortable appearance, and among
the various pieces of furniture in sit

welcome.-N. Y. Journal

Exposition in This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of the admission of
Tennessee into the Union is not local af-
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses in ex-
tent Of buildings, beauty of grounds, inter

as it is on the main line of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line
OF travel between the North and the South,
and can be visited en- route with loss of but
little time. The extremely low rates that
have been established make it cheaper to go

will well repay a special visit. Write Mr..
