When Children Ask Questions.

A lawyer in high standing and n
thoughtful father says that whenever he
can give "a simple explanation he does SO;
that II he cannot he confesses frankly that
tho matter is too difficult to explain and
too hard for the child TO understand. Ii
he does not know. he admits his ignorance
promptly but adds that he will try to
find out James Sully mentions the case
of little girl Az years old who chased
her mother into one of the most abstruse
problems of metaphysics. She saw wasp
on the window pane and desired to touch
it. Her mother said mo, you must not.
1t will sting you The child queried,
Why doesn't it sting the glass;" The
mother answered, Because the glass can't
feel Again the child queried, why
doesn t the glass feelr Again the mother
answered, Because 1t has no nerves.
And again the child queried. why do
nerves feelY' Sully fails to give the moth
er's answer at this the most critical point
He merely adds that children must be- ex-
ercised in taking some truths on trust
without aking the why of everything, and
quotes George Eliot. who says somewhere,
Reason about everything with your
child, you make him IA monster, without
reverence, without affections. New York

Cooking and skimming.

One OF the niceties Of cooking which
mark the difference between the expert
and the novice or the careful and the care
less cook II found In the operation OF
skimming. Many cooks cannot skim sue
cessfully They do not get all the grease
off the soup. and they fail to touch just
the right moment for attacking the scum
which rises on the first boiling up OF pota-
toes and other vegetables. Soup should be
SKINNED patiently and thoroughly, and
at the last moment any giobules of grease
that remain before pouring it into the tn.
reen should be taken up with piece OF
clean plotting paper, held edgewise.
Grease from the invalid's cup of beef tea
or from bowl Of gravy can DO removed
In the same manner. For the scum from
vegetables or broths IL Is the first boiling
up which brings 1t to the surface, where 1t
should be quickly skinned before 1t Is
drawn back to separate and disseminate
beyond all power Of removal.

A Doll at the Hospital.

Chief Steward Butcher of the Receiving

The Right Sort of Teacher For Girls.

The isest and most helpful teacher is
not the one whom the girls themselves
rave over" and find most magnetic -
1t is she who carefully avoids the appeal
to the emotions, and who, without repel
ling the affections, knows how to check
hysterical excess and keep the young ma
ture cool and steady by delicate reserve
and u gentle decision at the first indica-
ton of need. 1t is IA curious fact in psy
chology-or is it physiology while

Black Underwear.

The fad INDUCED in by many women OF
wearing black undertaking has "a more
serious significance than the wearers i'm
agine.
The body, especially the nervous sys-
tenn. is greatly benefited by sunlight, as
we all know, sleeplessness, nervous disor-
ders, headache, etc, being often cured by
resorting TO simple sun baths.
Ii is reasonable TO suppose, therefore,
that nothing dark should be worn next the
skin, and the more white predominates in
the whole costume the better for the indi.
viduals general health and mental equi.
poise
A wealthy woman, who had fallen in to
peculiarly nervous state and who wore
deep mourning, was told by her physician
that he could not continue to treat her un-
less she would give up wearing black, as
he attr bHted her neurotic condition large
ly to this fact When he learned that
not only her outside dress, but also every
article of her apparel, was black, he was
more than ever convinced of the truth of
his theory, and he gave her the alternative
of changing her entire underwear TO white,
also using as much white in her outer gar
ments as was practicable, or of employing
another physician.
As his services were valued, he succeed
ed In effecting the change demanded and
the patient soon began TO improve.
1t would be as reasonable to cover up n
/ growing plant with layers of black cloth
and then expect it to flourish as for a WON
an TO swathe her delicate body in fold up
on fold of sable silk, cotton or wool and
expect to remain healthy, wholesome and
happy
Then think of the effect on the woman 8
spirits every time she robes or disrobes
with only funeral black To meet the eyei
A woman naturally strong minded, cheer
full and sensible was one day lying weak
and depressed on her bed when a black
cloth cape which hung near her SO worked
upon her nerves, suggesting sorrowful
possibilities that she imagined herself go
ing insane aud struggled desperately to
her feet to throw white garment over the
gloomy thing
The matter of wearing outside black
must always be determined more or less
by individual preference, but every in
stinct of good taste, delcacy, cleanliness
and health, physical and mental, demands
that the underwear should be spotiess
white, thus opposing the least possible
obstruction to the sun rays.
There is large germ Of truth in the
ancient Parsee and Peruvian fire and sun
worship-the turning of the face to the
east to honor the source of all life and
beauty
1t would do no harm-rather n deal of
good-if some of our ultra fashionable
danes would read up on this ancient form
of religion and then relegate their hideous
black undergrad to the ragbag or use IL in
patching old umbrellas. Doctor.

Clear starching is accomplished in this
way to the best advantages Wash the ar
ticles in three waters, dry them and dip
them in thick starch previously strained
through muslin. Squeeze them, shake
them gently and again hang them up to
dry. When dry, dip them twice or thrice
in clear water, squeeze them, spread them
on "a linen cloth, roll them up in 1t and
let them lie an hour before ironing them.
A small piece of white wax added to the
starch prevents the iron from sticking and
