Is pretty well understood. Scientific ex-
periments have demonstrated the fact
beyond a doubt. They have even gone
further and shown that fatigue is a
disease, and that it is possible to pro-
duce the same symptoms in one animal
organization by innoculation with the
fatigued serum of another, showing
that overwork produces an actual pol
son in the system. Worry is equally
antagonistic to good digestion, another
fact that is we'll known but cannot
be too often reiterated to this nation or

. ishment of care in preparation for a
meal should become a habit. It means
heightened life and preserved health
as do such other confessedly hygien1c
habits as proper bathing, dressing ana
wholesome food.

Directions have been noticed from
time to time in various public prints
of a way to remodel an old bureau into
a hall seat. A woman who has really
made the attempt finds it entirely sue
cessful. In a secondhand shop the
bureau was first picked up. It had
swell front, which was specially desdr-
able. It was a very old mahogany af-

to modernize it had been made by put
ting on marble top and hanging some
of the cheap drop handles of recent
years to the drawers. Notwithstand-
ing these apparent evidences of recent
make the age of the piece was easily
discernible to the customer. 1t was
bought at a low price, made still lower
by the giving up to the dealer OF the
two upper drawers and marble SLAB
and the looking-glass which surmount-
ed it, This denuded frame, with It's
single bottom drawer, standing on It's
precious claw feet, was sent to mod
est cabinet-m makers. A seat was hu-
ted over the drawer, the upper frame
work all taken off, the back of thin
pine braced, and the top evened off
for the high back and sides Of the
coming seat. The whole was then
slightly padded with hair and covered,
seat, sides and back, with dark green
imitation leather, finished at the edges
with leather binding put on closely
with brass nails. The claw feet were
polished. as we'll as the sides and draw
er front, and some antique brass nan
dies replaced the common gilt ones. The
result, as has been stated, is unique
and most serviceable and thoroughly

ing excellent work as a repository for
cvershoes. This particular one stands
appropriately beneath the wheel of an
old spinning wheel, which was taken
from it's setting, provided with brass
hooks. and suspended by a brass chain,
passing around it's groove, as a hat
rack.
At some of the shops are shown deep,

A medical journal inveighs against
rocking, warning it's adherents that the
soothing feeling which it super1nduces
as really a mild congestion of the brain.
This, it is cited, is as applicable to the
moman's rocking chair as to the baby's
cradle.
Baked ice cream, so a cooking school
Teacher demonstrates, may be made by
beating the whites of six eggs very
stiff and dry, and stirring in, by de-
grees six tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar. all whipped together to light
meringue. If a brick of very hard
frozen ice is set in this and covered
thickly, entirely, and speedily with the
egg, it may be set-worhng very fast
into an oven piping hot and Drowned

ceptably It viii then be found to be
a most delicious compound of the soft
hot meringue and the firm ice under
meath, but the preparation is only
possible TO a rapid yet thorough worker,
since if the meringue falls at all, or II
it does not cover every part of the
brick, the whole is ruined. Another
way of concocting baked ice cream is
To envelop the brick in a sheet of pas
try of paper like thinness. This may

1t is less bother to make. and more apt
to be successful, but the meringue is
the better result, if it succeeds.
This is the moment when fruit syrups
that later will form the base for re-
freshing midsummer drinks may be
made. To prepare good syrup use
loaf sugar crushed, in the proportion of
about two and one-half pounds of sugar
TO pint of fruit juice. Mix the sugar
and juice thoroughly with a wooden
spoon until the former is dissolved,
placing the dish while so doing in
pan of boiling water. The mixture
needs no cooking, merely thorough
heating until the perfect combination
into fluid is secured. Two or three
teaspoonfuls of this juice with a table
spoonful of thick cream added, the two

tail glass, the glass then filled from
