Waste of Wealth.

Money used to be fairly thrown away
on carved ornamental 'headbOards"
and dashboards Of beds, and stuffy
plush and brocaded chairs for the
sleeping apartments. Your true aris-
tocrat takes a great deal of room to
sleep in, and wants all the air there is
in it. 1t is trite to say that a brass
bed and straw floor mating are far
more elegant than Wilton carpets and
lavishly adorned wooden bedsteads.
Yet if statistics were taken it wouId
be found that thousands of our rich

in their bedrooms, to sew or to read
Men have never had this habit. So the

invalid needs a restful wall paper. but
few pictures, for pictures are sources
of horrible nightmare to fever patients

Irreprcssiblc Shirt Waists.

Shirt waists are getting lower and
lower in price every day, and wher-
ever the stock comes from that the
shops have had on hand since early
in the season, and where it all goes 70
it is hard to imagine. Never have
thers been more shirt waists sold than
thi- year, and never have the sales
kept up better. One reason for this is
that there are SO many white waists,
and the people who have bought all
the colored waists they want still feel
they need more white waists for the
extreme weather. There are the cheap
waists, and many of the very best in
design and material, made by exclusive
makers, are much reduced in price.

Tasty Salad.

Boil few potatoes. When they are
cold, cut them into slices and put them
into a salad bowl, with few thin
slices Of cucumber and beetroot. Add
one egg cut into slices and a few skin
ned young onions also cut into slices.
Well wash and shake in a tea-cloth the
white leaves from two or three let
tuces. Do not cut up the leaves, but
simply break them in half. Put them
into the bowl, sprinkle over them a
little salt and pepper and two or three
tablespoonfuls Of good salad oil. Toss
the leaves about well and lightly in
this, then pour in one tablespoonful OF
vinegar Again lightly toss the leaves,
and serve at once.

What such man was in London one
can imagine, with his large human in
terests and sympathies, never forget
ting anybody, as hospitable as he
could be, says Mrs. Sherwood in Lip
pincott's. Lord Houghton's breakfasts
became the most desirable of exchanges
for the wanderers Of all nations. With
his good heart and his sense of right,
he maintained the cause Of the north
in the house of lords when all the rest
of England would have gladly seen us
ruined, and he was through his whole
life the most admirable and useful
friend to Americans. No wonder that
ca his unpretending visit to America
Lord Hougbton was received every
where with the warmest cordiality. He
was one of the few Englishmen who
had sufficient breadth to know and ap-
preciate our civilization. No insular
narrowness cranped his brain, no spir-
It OF detraction limited his powers of
comprehension. He had no selfish pur-
pose to serve, so that he was not dis
appointed in what he saw here, and
that peculiar Difference and delicacy of
mind which is so marked in his verse
saved us in his case from "a certain
eondescension in foreigners" which
sometimes makes us regret that we

To Roast Meats,

One OF the small but essential points
in the roasting of meats often neg
iected or not understood by the aver
age kitchen priestess is that hot fat
rather than hot water should be used
to paste them. Start the fat of the
roast with a little butter or good drin-
pings and then depend upon the iuices
to continue the process. 1t should II
remembered, too, that all roast meats
need hot oven to start with. After.
ward the heat should be tempered.

Greatness OF the British Empire.

At the present juncture, when the
greatness Of certain nations is being
prominently paraded, it is interesting
to recall these facts. The British en-
pire is fifty-three times the size OF
France, fifty-two times that of Ger
many, three and a half times that Of
the United States of America, thrice
the size OF Europe, with treble the
population Of all the Russias. 1t ex-
tends over II 100000 square miles, oc-
cupies one-fifth OF the globe, contains
one-fifth of the human raceor $50, ,OOO,-
900 people, embraces four continents,
10000 islands, 800 promontories and
1000 rivers. 1T is estimated that the
empire possesses One-third of the
sheep of the world, one-fou.th of thg
cattle and onetwelfth of the horses.

While too great degree of caution

A FOOLS VISION,

Underneath an attic roof,
Where the heated shadows play,
Sits a woman, toiling, working,
Hall the night, and all the day.
In her hand is dainty fabric,
In her eye a heated tear.
In her bosom, weary meanings,
In her heart sullen fear,
And the whirring OF the shuttle
AS it spins the seam along,
Is sad and weary rhythm.
Like the death dirgc in song.
Hungry, tired, weary, sick,
With no hope to light the way,
Wishes she the sonbre angel
Would i'll mercy pass her way.
To the factory, heavy laden,
Wends she wcarily her way,
Only to receive the message,
Come again some other day"
But the coming is not fruitsome,

Wash Your Hands.
1t has recently been claimed that
cases of infection that could be ac-
counted for in no other way have been
explained by the fingers as vehicle.
In handling money, especially o.
paper, door knobs, banisters, car straps
and a hundred things that every one
must frequently touch, there are
chances innumerable of picking up
germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diph-
iberia, smallpox, etc. Yet some per-
sons actually put such things in their
mouths, if not too large. Before eat
ing, or touching that which is eaten,
the hands should be Immediately and
scrupulously washed. We hear much
about general cleanliness as next to
godliness." 1t may be added that here
In particular it is also ahead of health
and safety. The Jews made no mis-
take in that except they washed they
ate not" 1t is sanitary ordinance as
well as an ordinance of decency.

A Workhouse Scandal.

West Ham workhouse is agitateC
over an incident of oscillation. One Of
the guardians, Mr.. Rayner, accompa
MED by a friend named Mr.. Pontin,
visited the house and seem 10 have been
so interested in a centenarian, Mrs
Rachael Perry, that they kissed her.
This action seems to have caused much
scandal, and ON being reported meet
ing Of guardians was held to discuss
what steps should be taken. Ther,
seems to be no precedent as TO what
should be done when a man embraces a
lady Of 1903 on so slight an acquaintance,
but Mr. Rayner, in Difference TO the
other guardians feelings, apologized.
Mr.. Pontin, however, said that he had
only "osculated" after obtaining per.
mission and did not consider an apology
was required.
No doubt there was sufficient reason
for the guardians displeasure but at
first sight it looks as if they were jeal-
Gus at one Of their number having
stolen march ON them. Fourteen were
in favor Of Mr.. Rayner's apology not
being accepted and a vote Of censure
passed, while Is took the more merci-
full view that the former course settled
the matter. Mr.. Pontin has been for
hidden the premises until he apologies
and the board has expressed its strong
condemnation of his conduct.
