For PAPER HANoKeacHleFs.

The question Of proper and adequate
sanitation in all phases OF modern life Is
one of great Importance, and we are 10
no danger of having too thorough dis
cussion Of its various phases as they
arise from time to time. A writer In
one Of the Philadelphia papers presents
thoughts which are worthy OF consider
stion, whether We may accept all OF the
conclusions at which he arrives or other
wise. He believes that the story Of the
heather Chinee and the missionsry's
fancy handkerchief should be Oft repeat
ed. The Chinaman admired the dainty
square Of embroidered linen very much,
until he was told Its use, and that It
would be washed and used again, when be
dropped 1t In disdain. To his mind, the
idea Of using handkerchief again and
again WAS uncomfortable. When We Look
at 1t a. matter of hygiene, to burn up
all soiled haDdkerchiefs Is certainly the
safest, cleanest course. There can be
no question ~ to the advantages OF this
plan. ANY slight cold may prove to be
the grip. No doub. many case of con-
sumption has been unsuspected until
whole houeeholds have been subjected to
risks which science has taught rs to
avoid. II We are still unwilling 10 use

A great many toys are now made in
this country. including many mechan.
ical devices Many toys are still i'm
ported. Such things as woolly sheep and
dogs, now as highly priced by children
az ever, come from Germany, as do the
skin covered horses. They could be
made here. but they can be produced
cheaper abroad.
As rule, whatever can be made by
machinery is made here, while toys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute thing is brought within
the reach Of machinery American man.
ufacturers can pay their higher prices
for labor and still beat the world.
With the low prices Of labor in foreign
countries handmade productions can be
made cheaper in them. AS result OF
this there are toys Of some kinds which
in their completed state are partly
American and partly foreign. Among
these are toy vehicles with horses at
tached. The vehicles and everything In
and about them may be the product OF

TIE ART or DARN!kG.

|, Is surprising, when one considers
the abundant opportunities Tor exercis-
ing the accomplishment, that so few
girls are able TO lay really neat darn.
In many cases this Is not the fault OF the
girls themselves. The mcnding Is usu-
ally done In hurry, and there seems no
time for special lessons Ia neatness. IL
Ia Just as easy, however, 10 do the work
neatly, and many expert needlewomen
tiud Il quite as fascinating as embrcid-
cry.
Take stockings first, because they are
always at hand. Have darning ball II
possible. The small sized wooden dumb
bells do nicely, and this kind Of exercise
will be a pleasant change from the fancy
drill. Always work with the right side
OF the garment toward you, no matter
what IL Is. Begin your darning well be-
low the hole at the left; take long, even
stitches on the under side, short ones on
the upper, and do not allow the edge OF
the material 10 show on the right side.
Lay the threads side by side across the
hole, leaving them neither tight nor
loose, simply smooth. In the second
half OF the darn, cross these threads ut
right angles, weaving In and out with
out an error, and making the whole as
close and firm as possible. Even stitches
and no ragged edges on the right side,
are the things to bear In mind.
For darning WOODEN dress goods, 1t Ia
absolutely necessary to use threads raw
elled from the cloth itself. This Is not
half so hard as II sounds, and the stitches
made this way are quite invisible. Lay
a piece OF the cloth under the rent, and
fasten the edges In place by bssting.
Then run your needle back and forth
across the tear, long stitches underneath,
short ones on the right side, and always
straight with the thread Of the goods,
either leugthwise or crosswise. Never
attempt TO darn anything on the bias.
Press your work carefully when !. Is
finished, and you will fiud that, after
all, IL Is not such dreadful thing to
have torn your gown.
These directions apply equally to the
dsrning OF cotton goods, with this addi-
ton: The work must be done while the
tear Is fresh, before the edge, are
stretched ont of shape. Above all, do
not walt till the garment has been hun-
dered; starch Is sworn foe TO beautiful
dsrniDg.
