The Novel as an Educator.

There has been very evident and
general broadening of the popular mind
with respect to the educational value
of novels, says the Criterion. 1t is not
hard to recall a time when the reading
Of fiction, written by even the greatest
masters, was, to a greater or less de-
gree, looked upon as mental dissipa-
ton. None of it was deemed the prop
er thing for the cultivation in the
youthful mind of due appreciation
Of the serious aspects of life.
History and biography were the great
specifics, and boy or girl who could
assume fine pose of enjoying the dri-
est and most perfunctory writing of
historical or semi-historical character
was model of studiousness. and
marked out for neighborly commenda-
ton. More little prigs, and big ones,
too, have been evolved by this sort of
thing than by any other readily So
called process. The surest way of de-
Etroying a healthy and natural taste
for books is to try and force an interest

For the Now Bnhy.

Fashions for the wee babies are
now more sensible than ever before
The dreadful bellyband has been
done away with, and now baby wears
the softest. finest little merino shirts
against the tender skin, and there are
no wrinkled flannel bands TO worry
and fret the small morsel of humanity.
There are dainty crocheted worsted
sacks and prettily embroidered merino
ones, as well as beautiful silk sacks.
Then, in imitation of the foreign baby
comes the zen maillot." or pillow. as
it is called here, upon which baby
makes its first acquaintance with So
ciety and upon which it is brought
forth to be shown TO family friends
and to receive the audible alteration of
all mothers woman friends. These
pillows are covered with sheer lawn
cases, with delicate lace ruffies and
pretty pink or blue bows, according
to baby's sex Pink must be the pre-.
yailing tint for young man and blue
for the girl baby.
Baby trunks are now shown for hold
Ing the most needed articles of the
infantile wardrobe and are substituted
for the old fashioned basket by many.
In the matter Of gowns, slips, wrap
pers. cloaks and caps there is little
change, except that there seems to be
a superabundance Of lace and sheerest
lawn. The little slips and robes are
made with an eye to the comfort of
baby more than used to be the case.
There are no high neck Fittings Of
lace and embroidery, everything is low
and soft aud pretty. and the baby Of
to-day is much luckier person than
the baby of few years ago.

can choose his vocation accordingly.
The matter may be reduced to an exact

mustache as a basis. A mustache is
essentially romantic and cornwall, and
is important to any calling in which
good fellowship cuts a figure. If very
heavy and dropping it lends an air of
sagacity to its owner. [ knew a rail-

There Is a living curiosity at the City

In 1862, according to his narrative,
Moore left County Clare, Ireland, and
settled with his parents in Maine. He
migrated to this State in 1919, cleaned
up some dust. and three years later
took ship for Australia, where lie min

of four and half years Moore set out

Being the only European dervish

Moore's fame soon reached the royal
palace. He was sent for by the favor

to the Shah that he be engaged as
Mualum Makahsus, or chief tutor to the
royal family. This exalted job, Henry
Moore says, he held for a period Of five
years. He was also given the title OF
Sertib, or Colonel, in the Persian army,
and other favors were heaped upon
him by the Shah.

Onions are not only delicious when
properly prepared, but they are said
TO be almost the best nervine known.
Nothing will so quickly relieve nervous
prostitution. They are less digestihle
raw. and yet many persons eat them
very freely in that state without dis
comfort. Onions should be boiled from
one to two hours. If they are peeled
under water tears will be avoided. At
ter the onions are boiled until tender
drain and pour them over a white
sauce, or melted butter, pepper and
salt. If Drowned onions are desired
for garnishlng, place them, after they
are boiled tender, in a pan; sprinkle
with salt. pepper ana little sugar
and put them in hot oven to brown.

combined with unwearied industry, he
accumulated large fortune. For a

he died, at the advanced age of eighty.
a gentleman who was making a jour-
ney through Cornwall put up at a
small inn at Port Isaac for his dinner.
He looked over the bill of fare, and
found nothing to his liking. He had,
however, seen fine duck roasting on

lord, "it is for Mr.. Scott, of Exeter"

er, who CHANGED to look from the win

moment entering the inn yard, about
five minutes before the appointed
time.

How to soften Water.

To soften water for laundry pur-
poses when you have no rain water
supply 1t is a good plan to draw the
water three or four days before it is
needed for use, and to expose il to the
air. This will render it quite soft, and
will make soap either entirely unneces-
sary, or at any rate will make a
very small quantity of it sufficient.

When refurnishing some portions OF
your house this autumn, If you would
save labor eventually, remember that
mating. with rugs, should cover the
floor nearly all over over the house. in,
stead of carpets. The reason is that
wiping over and taking away the dust
quietly, takes less time than sweeping
which always makes work through
so generously distributing the dust all
over the room. With good wall papers,
but few ornaments pictures and little
drapery or furniture are needed. Only
clean thing when it is apparently nee
eSsaiy-for instance. wash off dirty
marks on paint. but do not Of necessity
wash all the paint. This does not APP
