DON'T DO 1T.
Avoid Discussing Irritating Subjects
at the Dinner Table.


From the Boston Herald.
Why is it that in most households
the dinner table becomes a dumping
ground for the wholesale plants of it's
members? Probably because this is
the only meal of the day when the
entire family meet together, and each
one feels it a duty to air few person.
al grievances in order to seek consola-
ton from the others.
out of Difference to digestion, If for
no other reason, dinner-table CONVEX
sation should be of the spiciest, but
this fact is lost sight of in the gen.
eral desire of everybody, from papa
down to the youngsters, to serve up
only those topics which have marred
rather than made the days happiness.
Hardly has the man of the house fin
ished his carving duties before he falls
into an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed, bills grumbled over, and the
cost of living recalculated with tedious
regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
woes. The days errors below stairs
are minutely recorded. She sighs over
Bridgets butter waste, declares that
the butchers indifference to her order
is becoming intolerable, and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little tar.
get for family flaw-picking) comes in
for his share of criticism. His failures
at school are relentlessly raked up,
and all sorts of punishments threat
ened unless there is speedy reform.
If there are guests present this talk
of the inner circle is, for courtesy's
sake, given a less personal flavor, but
only then. Good cheer and plenty of
it" is not the motto of the average
family dinner.

FASHION AND HYGIENE AGREE.
In SanctiOning an Upright, Straight
forward Gait.

One seldom considers that gait is
matter of fashion, but it is In the
time of large hoops and farthingales a
short, Waddling step was the mode, and
the affcctatiOn known as the "Grecian
bend" will be remembered by most
adults. Fashion and hygiene have
never been so little at variance as at
present when an upright straightfor-
ward gait is in vogue. An erect DOS
ture Of the body according to the direc-
tions given military cadets, "chin in,
chest out and stomach in," should be
observed The lower eXtremities should
bs swung forward from the hip joint
freely and easily, the foot coming down
on the toes first then the rest of the
foot, the heel reaching the ground last.
There has been much discussion in re-
gard to which portion of the foot should
hrst be placed upon the ground in walk
ing, but writers now generally agree
that the toes should come down first:
they are organs Of feeling and give a
sense of support to the body. The nat
ural way of walking has been studied
by observing Indians and Arabs, and it
has been found that those who walk
best and most gracefully point the toes
downward, stepping on them first.
MAX ~ lNtll declares that an English
lady walks with her arms hanging
down, supporting herself on her heels:
the French lady walks with her arms
bent, supporting herself on her toes. It
Is said that French ladies actually prac-
tice walking on the toes with a slipper
having an India-rubber ball beneath
the heel. The BAN squeaks when sub
jected to pressure, and the object is to
movs freely without ellciting this
squeak.
The turning Of the toes out i'm walk
ing is not so much dwelt upon as for
merly. The ungraceful toeing-in should,
or course, be avoided, but the angle
made by bringing the heels together
and turning the toes out, military fash
ion need not be practised so industrl-
ously as old-time precepts dictate. The
study Of the gait, and of the best meth
DDS Of walking is now prosecuted by
means Of prints of the soles of the feet
either made by walking in soft clay or
by chalking or blackening the soles In
this way many of the Irregularities of
gait, indicative either Of nervous dis
ease or impending deformitles, have
been discovered. The process has been

FACTS ABOUT EGGS.

10y odldu II. NlltOAs
Eggs boiled twenty minutes are more
easily digested than If boiled ten. They
are dry and mealy, and are readily
acted upon by the gastric Juice.
An invalid can often eat the yolk of
a hard-bOled egg when the white can
not be eaten with safety.
To prevent bed sores, apply with
feather the white of an egg beaten with
two teaspoons spirits of wine. Keep
well corked.
The yollS of an egg well beaten is Il
very good substitute for cream in cof-
fee. An egg will season three cups.
Hoarseness and tickling in the throat
are relieved by a garglc of the white
of an egg beaten to froth with u
tumblerful of warm swectencd water
Beat an egg fifteen minutes with a
pint Of milk and a pint OF water sweet
en- with granulated sugar, bring to
boiling point, and when cold use as a.
drink. 1t is excellent for Il cold.
Put coffee into the pot, add the white
of an egg and stir we'll before pour
ing on any water. Leave the yolk in
the shell to be used in Il similar man
ner another time. This makes a
strengthening morning drink.
An old-time but very effective rem
cdy for an obstinate cough is to place
three unbroken eggs in very strong
cider vinegar increase the strength
by boiling if necessary. In three or
four days the acid will eat the shells,
then beat the mixture well, and thick
en- with honey. Take two tablespoon
fulS before each meal.
An army nurse gave me this remedy
for chronic diarrhrea, which she said
was used successfully by the soldiers:
Drop eggs in water, crush a very small
place in the shell to prevent bursting.
then wrap in wet paper and roast in

several hours. Sift, and take a tea

A NEW WOMAN.

She's up to date, and strictly new:
And yet she's not afiame with zeal
She wears no skirt that's sewn in two,
She is not skilled to ride a wheel.
Her seX's wrongs she does not feel;
No public scheme her thoughts pursue;
And yet, the fact / can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled;
And though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view;
She does not work for fame nor gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due:
Her claim no mortal dares to .scorn;
She from the Infinite takes her cue;
she's fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn;
For, now to prove my statements true,
It's scarce one moon since she was born
You see. she's new!
