The Houseworker's Hands.

"HouseWork is rather hard on the
hands, but there are some precautions
which, If taken, will add greatly to the
comfort Of the worker and the appear.
ance Of the hands," writes Maria Par.
loa, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Among the things which roughen and
blacken the hands the most important
are dust, soap, fruit, vegetables and
neglect to properly dry the hands.
Wash all vegetables before pairing.
When the hands are stained by fruit
OF vegetables be sure to remove the
stains before the hands come In con-
tact with soap or soapy water. Re-
move the stains with an acid, such as
lemon, vinegar or sour milk, then wash
in clear water. When using soap and
water for any purpose be sure to rinse
off all the soap before wlping the
hands. Always wipe the hands per-
fectly dry. Do not change soaps if you
can avoid 1t, and always use good
soap. When sweeping and busting
wear loose-fitting gloves. Have pair
Of rubber gloves for use when it is
necessary to have the hands in water
a great deal. Grease spells rubber,
therefore the gloves must be washed

washing or any other work that rough.
ems them. With a little practice one
can wash dishes as well and as quick
~ with a dish-mop as with cloth and
the hands. There should be two mops
one for the tableware and one for the
cooking dishes. For washing floors
have self-wringing mop. To soften
and whitcn the hands use some sort of
cream on them at night, then powder
them with cornstarch and put them in
loose gloves kept for this purpose"

True Living Rooms.

Have nothing for show, writes Julia
Ward Howe, in Good Housekeeping.
Let your rooms look as IL they were
lived in. Provide convenient cases
for your books, comfortable chairs to
sit in, tables or desks at which one can
write with comfort, pleasant pictures
or engravings to look at. Do not envy
the melancholy splendor Of superfu'
Gus apartments, rarely opened, and
full Of ghostly shadows. The time
and money expended in the care OF
these possessions are out Of all proper
ton to any pleasure that can be de.
lived from them.

How to Treat an Umbrella.

When you come in out of the rain
don't plump your nice umbrella ferrule
down into the umbrella stand, unless
you want to ruin 1t. That lets the
water and the tiny specks of "grit"
run down into the lining under the
iron ring that secures the ribs, and it
stays there, making the silk tender,
and rotting it. Neither should you
leave the umbrella open to dry, as that
stretches the silk and makes it stiff,
and it will soon split. Shake it well,
then close it, and stand it, handle
down, where the water will run off.
Never set an umbrella or parasol away
tightly folded; it will split out just as
soon again. Leave the folds to lie
loosely.-NeW York Mail and Express.

aeronlmo.s souveni1 CoaA

Abraham Jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on o.
charge of larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake OF Abraham
and jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
restaurant man, curiously made
buckskin coat, which was formerly a
possession of the bloodthirsty Apache
chief, Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court. Is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork. and a
striking commentary on the character
of old Geronimo. 1t is festooned with
forty or Fifty long tufts of hair, which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
onimo must have had a particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair,
or penchant for that kind of decora-
ton for his coat, for. with one excep-
ton, all the hair Is of that color. The
exception is very light brown, which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair is long. 1t is attached in hit
er-miss fashion to all parts Of the
coats exterior, and hangs down the
back so thick as to almost conceal the
highly colored painted figures which
constitute the rest of Its ornamental
ton. AS curio the coat was worth
shout $500.
