To Keen the Hands Soft.

Hands which easily become rough
and red. may be greatly benefited by
washing them two or three times a
day in oatmeal water. Take some good
fine oatmeal and boil 1t in water for an
hour, strain, and use the liquid for the
hands. 1t should be made fresh every
day in summer, and every other day
In winter as 1t soon becomes sour and
smells unpleasant. For hands which
are unusually red and coarse this
one to two hours. II they are peeled
cases few grains of chloride Of lime
should be added to the warm and soft
water used for washing. Cacao cream
Is frequently used for softening and
whitening the hands. 1t is composed
of cacao butter, oil of sweet almonds,
and refined white wax in equal parts.
Melt them together and stir until cold.

The British Cook and Rice Pudding

The British cook, writes w. l.. Al
den i'm Pearson's, who is told to make
a rice pudding will take some flour, n
few eggs and as much milk as she can
snare from the mistrcss's tea, and all
the rice that Is left in the rice jar. She
mikes these ingredients. and after put
ting the composition in the oven Won
ders what 1t will turn out to be. Some
times the result Is plum cake. AT
another time it is a suet pudding, and
at another beefsteak pie. Statistics
prove that 1t becomes rice pudding
only once in four hundred and seven
teen times.
There is all the charm of a lottery,
or OF gold mining. in British cookery.
1t is so purely matter of chance that
II is probable that rigid application OF
the gambling laws would land every
British cook in jail. The cook stakes
her !iour and butter and eggs. in the
hope that they will emerge from the
oven in some desirable form. If she
wins, her employer regards her as an
admirable cook. If she loses, and
the oven returns to her a dish which
is absolutely uneatable. her employer
wonders why she can never learn to
cook. So long as the British cook pre-
fers chance to science. and thinks that
II is siu.plcr to take ''some" of various
ingredients instead of taking a definite
and unalterable number of grams OF
each. so long will British cookery re-
main among the mysteries of life.

A Klondikc sIiper Won a Jack Pot
OF go. 900.


/, A draw-poker game was played in
one of the downtown hotels of Port.
Land, Oregon, the other night by three
recently arrived Alaskans-George w,
Milford, Parker Hamlin and Henry E
Smith-which, In point OF recklessness
has scarcely ever been eQualed. These
three lucky miners went there during
the early part of this week and put IN
at the Esmond.
From the start to the finish II was
voted the most ''blooded" game ever
played there. The limit was SO, and
a new deck opened each game. BY II
o'clock there were 100 lookers-on in the
room. The game began by milford
winning a $3.50 pot on a blur. He held
two aces and q king, while his fellows
each had three OF kind in small cards
For the first two hours all pots. some
of them as high as $1,000. were raked
in by the most hazardous bluffs, the
winning hand in many instances not
being better than a pair of jacks OF
three deuces.
An hour after midnight the game
drew to a close. and milford. Smith
and Hamlin again resorted TO bluffing.
The limit had been raised to 500. and
the miners pressed It, Milford, after
contributing $4,000 to pot. had drop
ped out, and IL was subsequently
shown that he had tried to scare the
other players with two red kings.
From that time on the widest excite
ment reigned among the champagne
soaked crowd, but Smith and Hamlin
did not lose their equanimity.
Hands were raised from time to time
until the lucky one stood to win $I0,-
600. AS the clock struck l Hamlin
hoarsely said:
blank, you have got either three big
or four small ones, and I'll pass"
The players threw up their hands.
surprising each other Smith held two
queens and two tens, while Hamlin
held three fives. 1t was ut this juno
ture. when Smith was raking in the
collateral, that Hamlln gave utterance
to string of Yukon blasphemy. and,
with Milford subscribed to an oath be-
fore a magistrate. vowing never to play
another game Of cards during the rest
of their lives.

When refurnishing some portions of
your house this autumn, IL you would
save labor eventually. remember that
mating, with rugs, should cover the
hoor 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
50 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 IL Is apparently nee
essary-for instance, wash of dirty
marks on paint, but do not of necessity
wash all the paint. This does not APP
ply to cleaning sinks and such things
Do not soak clothes over night 1t
sets the dirt when the water gets cold.
Look over the soiled pieces and rub
soap on the worst spots and put them
In the tub with hot water to cover. Let
them soak until the black stockings
and woolens are washed and out of the
way. Then wash the white clothes
aext and then the colored ones.
If'every three days (much depends on
the use and position of the room, of
course) the floor of room is run over
with carpet sweeper. dust at the cor
ners collected, and the room be quietly
busted. 1t will not require the thorough
housekeeping so frequently given by
housewives.
Arrange your housekeeping so that
you will have lighter work, turn your
leisure into time for outdoor life rather
than for sewing; learn to live In the
air and the passion for new things, per-
feet things. more things will take its
proper place.
Always wash woolens separately
from cottons. Wash in quite warm
water, add tablespoonful of borax to
each pail of water. rub soap into the
water--not on the woolens-and rinse
in two quite hot waters. Iron before
dry, and they will look like new until
worn out.

occasionally to be relacquered. thereby

Mothers advice is worth more than

There's no need therefore to write to

There may, however, be need for a

vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by Dr. Pierce, opens the way TO health,
and at the same time avoids the I'M
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or aihng woman is invited to
write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in a plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements

vice. ANY physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice " and invite
you to write to a woman do not claim
that the woman is doctor. The "inedi-
