CARE or ssns AND SEEDING.


a Few shrewd Observations on IN Every
day Topic.
There is q vast difference in the way
different housekeepers manage and care
for their beds Some Of them fully be-
lieve in the fresh air theory and during
pleasant weather, as soon as their toilet
Is made. up go the bedroom windows
and the pillows are laid upon the sill
for an airing; the bedclothing, If not
removed and thrown on chair, is
turned down over the foot of the bed
II feather bed is used, that ia also well
shaken up and left until the bed is
again made up, sometimes in the fore
noon. This management ia in strong
contrast to the usual plan Of never
touching a slept in bed until it is again
prepared for the sleeper, yet in the item
Of health there is perhaps no discernible
difference.
The children living in homes Of
squalor and Indebtedness, whose bed.
ding is perhaps not changed once q
month, are quite as healthy and cheer
full as those who sleep in bed linen
changed daily. The Chinaman who
sleeps on his pillow Of wood is quite as
strong and usually less nervous than
the "Mellican man" who rests bis head
upon downy pillows. However, this is
no excuse why beds should not receive
proper care and thorough airing fire.
quently. if not daily. It is certainly a
matter of habit, and the daughters usu-
ally in this line follow the practice in
oulcated by their mothers.
Bedclothes that are stored away
should be aired several times each year,
as moths and the carpet bug will raise
sad havoc with them If not properly at
tended to. Camphor gum or fine tobacco
scattered between each fold will keep
out the former, but cannot be depended
upon as a panacea for the carpet bug.
II mice are known to be about the prem
ises, traps should be properly baited and
placed near their haunts, as at nesting
time they will riddle bedding to make
a soft nest. A close fitting chest or
trunk makes the safest storing place for
all unused clothing, bedding, etc. A
large plain trunk can usually be pur-
chased for a small sum, and will pay
its cost every year in the safety Of it's |

Where Circulation Is Feeb,e.t.

Those who lead a sedentary life find
the circulation feeblest about the nose,
lips and temples, and those parts of the
face should be energetiea1ly kneaded
several times day. When the pores
become distended, the fine, invisible
dust in the air enters and clogs and
blackens them. Mere ordinary face
washing, even when waYm wster and
soap are used, is not sufficient to remove
the dirt in the pores, but the vigorous
acid Of the lennon will Glsanne avid carry
off all such unsishtly blsaaishss.

Old johnson was very much given to
"tippling," not wisely but too well,
and would spend all his spare time at
his favorite pub, says Spare Moments.
His house was so situated that it was
necessary for him to go through the
churchyard to reach it. One night, be-
ing a bit fuller than usual. he managed
to fall into a newly made grave. He fell
without hurting himself, and being tired
went off to sleep When he awoke the
next morning, he couldn't make out
where he got to, but after struggle
managed to reach the top of the grave
and look around.
A broad grin spread over his face az
he muttefed to himself:

PIN HISTORY.
The Useful Articles Were Known In Early
Times to Egyptians.

Times to Egyptians.
Pins are, an the saying goes, as old as
the hills. In some form or another they
have been in existence ever since our
first parents clothed themselves in fig
leaves, which grew wild in the garden
OF Eden. Asa matter Of fact, pins claim
a very high antiquity, the earliest form
being the natural thorn, which is still
used to some extent by the peasant
women Of upper Egypt In prehistoric
times pins were also made of the small
bones Of fish and animals.
Among the remains of the lake dwell
ers Of Europe have been found bronze
pins and bronze brooches, in which the
pins form the prominent feature, many
OF which are highly ornamental and
very beautiful. A few copper and one
iron pin have also been found. Tt is es-
timated that 10000 pins have been col
leoted at the lacustrine station of Swift
zerland alone. A few Of these have dou-
bic stems and were probably used as
hairpins. There have been found at
Peschiere pins which are exactly the
same in form as the safety pins Of the
present time. Among the single stem
pins are many ingenious devices for
preventing the spike from passing en-
tirely through the cloth or other ma
terial it is used for fastening together.
Many Of them are so formed that they
are thicker in some places than in 9TH
ers. A large number, both of bone and
bronze, had the head formed of loose
ring passed through an eye in the pin.
A few Of them have the appearance Of
the scaEfpin now in use. In Egypt pins
with gold heads have been discovered,
while in ancient Rome bronze pins and
bone hairpins with ornamental heads
have been discovered among relics Of
Pompeii. Philadelphia Press.
