HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If there is one thing on which the
housewife prides herself, it is that of
having her laundering done nicely, so
that the wearing apparel may be the ad-
miration of all. The washing is a small
matter, any one almost can do that, but
to have the linens present that f1ex-
ible and glossy appearance after being
ironed requires fine quality of starch.

HOW TO WALK UP STAIRS.
When an Equal Distribution of the
Body's Weight Is Secured It's
an Easy Task.

\ physician who declared that few
people know how to walk upstairs
properly was asked to describe how it
should be done. He said: Usually a
person will tread on the ball of his foot
in taking each step. This is very tire
some and wearing on the muscles, as it
throws the entire suspended weight of
the body on the muscles of the legs and
feet. You should, in walking or climb
ing stairs, seek for the most equal dis
tribution of the body's weight possible.
'In walking upstairs your feet should
be placed squarely down on the step,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
In this way there is no strain upon any
particular muscle, but each one is doing
its duty in a natural manner. The
woman who goes upstairs with spring
is no philosopher, or at least she is not
making a proper use of her reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending a
fight of stairs is exceedingly repre-
hensible. In any exertion of this kind,
when the heart is naturally excited to a
more rapid action, it is desirable that
the lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with their
action, the blood is imperfectly aereat-
ed, and there is trouble at once. Give
the lungs a chance to do their work
everywhere and at all times"

HOW TO PULL POSTS.

to the line of posts. In driving past a
post he swung the team a little to the
right, then slightly to the left, and
backed a few feet, bringing left hind
wheel of wagon about in lime with post
and within a few feet of it. One end of
chain having been fastened around
the axle near left wheel, hooked the
other end around post close to ground,
then lifted chain and set the piece of
2 by s under it with top end resting
against post and lower end resting on
the ground some IS inches from post.
AS the team started slowly the post
started skyward, then fell PROSTATE and
was at once loaded into the wagon.
When the end of the line was reached,
in short time, the job was complete
and we were ready to drive off with our
load of posts.-George T. Petit, in

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
Auckless Player Demonstrates
How Easy 1t Is to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all OF them, that of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thize. He was playing against a man whose
opinion he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted It into
tree, played fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long-dis-
tance puts IN which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
AT first the players demeanor was omi-
pously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his STROKES; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
lced the carelessless was only assumed. as
ne was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either YOUR
caddie or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
on TO the next teeing ground, remarking to
ms trembling, caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trlckled away about 20 yards to the right
Ihen the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that 1T is better to
break your internal clubs than to lose your

MANAGES A SAWMILL.
ST. Louis Society Girl Gives Up the
Luxuries of Home to Run an
Arizona Plant.

Miss Amelia Judson, of st. Louis, be-
came an Arizona sawmiller all in one
day. Her brother had invested $39, 900
in timber lands and built sawmill and
established the Judson lumber camp,
% miles northeast of Williams, AriZ.
He made a speciality of timber suitable
for boxes for the California fruit trade
and from the start was successful. In
June, 1898, young Judsons mother and
sister came to visit him. Miss Judson
had just finished course at Cornell
university and expected, after leaving
Arizona to go to Paris to study art.
But misfortune prevented. Only a
week before she and her mother had
intended to return to St. Louis, Andrew
Judson became suddenly i'll with
typhoid fever and died. That was last
October.
There was but one thing to do. Three
important contracts for lumber and
box material were in course of fulfill
ment when the ambitious young lum-
herman died. Both mother and daugh-
ter realized that thousands of dollars
of their money was tied up in the lum-
Der camp and that the only way to save

it, avoiding the sacrifice of forced sale,
was to keep the plant in operation.
And so it was that college-bred Anne
liza Judson became a sawmiller in the
heart of the Bill William mountains of
Arizona. She went to the office and
took charge. The rough men who saw
her wondered at her temerity and
hardihood; then they admired her
pluck and determined to help her in
every way possible. She went into the
woods with the logging teams and
learned every detail of the work of
converting a standing tree into lum-
Der or fruit boxes. She got out her
brothers contracts in time, took fur
ther orders and prospered at every
turn. Running a sawmill has passed
the experimental stage with me- said
Miss Judson. THE fact that we have
made money every month since Feb
ruary, or since l got the run of the
work, is no credit of mine, but the re-
suit of my brothers establishment of
the business. / like the work very
much, and l shall no doubt continue it.

camp, for the work so occupies all my
waking hours that l never have time

ELECTRICAL COOKING.
1t Has Proved n Great Success Wher-
ever 1t Has Been Given
Thorough Trial.

Electricity is making its way into the
kitchen through the parlor and dining
room, says the Cosmopolitan. For some
time it has been used for the heating
of the ive-o'clock tea kettle, eliminat-
ing the dangers which are always in
CURED when an alcohol lamp is used. A
tea kettle, coffee pot or chafing dish
may be adjusted to the nearest lamp in
q house wired for electric lighting.
The experienced cook knows that
there are dishes which are never seen in
their perfection ten feet from the fire
that cooked them. People who have
passed their youth in the country grow
peevish over the way years have
deteriorated the flavor of some simple
early favorite of the table. Electrical
appliances have done something to
bring back the old conditions. Griddle
cakes baked on a steel griddle, electric
ally heated to the exact temperature,
lightly brushed with oil, are crisp de-
light as they are tipped from griddle to
plate. But while this appliance can be
used with the illuminating current, it
requires an extra attachment, as that
current is too weak. This is generally
put in at the leg of the dining-table.
Up to this time electricity has been
used almost exclusively by the woman
who makes fad of experimental cook
ing, and she has her electric kitchen
fitted up like small laboratory, far
from the domain of the family cuisine.
The whole paraphernalia might fit
into tiled closet almost anywhere, so
hooded and ventilated that no odor es-
capes into the surrounding rooms. In
one of the apartment houses in New
York dainty little electric kitchens have
been fitted up where the tenants have
asked for them, although the apart
ments were not designed for house
keeping originally.

With the most careful calculation,
says Mrs. Lincoln, there is frequently
coffee left over; not enough, perhaps,
for another serving as a beverage, but
too much to be wasted. Do not leave
it in the pot with the grounds, but pour
it off or strain it carefully, and if it be
used again hot let it just come to the
boiling point. This will be much nicer
than to reheat it with the grounds.
1t may be used to dilute the egg for
the next mornings coffee, or as a flavor
ing in custards, creams and ices; or as
the liquid in place of or with milk in
gingerbread, cookies, cakes, etc, or,

Make the Farm Home Happy.

Some farmers have wives whom they
work like slaves, and soon these once
fair specimens of Gods work grow gray
and wrinkled If the drudgery contin-
ues, death follows and the farmer is left
wifeless. There is something in this
life to work for besides money. Wealth
is nice thing to have, but health is far
greater and more necessary. A man or
woman in good health is millionaire
though penniless. At the rate some
farm women go about their endless
tasks they are quite likely to lose the
latter and miss the former. Their
should be rest, recuperation and enjoy
ment in the farm home. 1t can be made
the happiest place on earth if its owner
so elects.-Farmers Voice.
