Household Hints.

Vinegar and brown paper will heal q
bruise or "black eye"
Ammonia will often restore colors
that have been removed by acid.
Wash table silver in boiling hot
water; this will keep it bright without
polishing.
A little salt added to an egg cools
it, and the egg consequently beats into
a froth more quickly.
A nice filling for sandwiches may be
made by mincing or pounding meat
very fine, mixing it to a paste with
cream or melted butter and seasoning
to taste.
A salad that is liked by some is
made by combining raw oysters with
chopped walnuts and bits Of celery,
served on lettuce leaves with French
dressing.
In the healing of burns and scalds
where there is danger of contracting
scars, rub the new skin several times
day with good sweet oil. Persist in
this rubbing until the skin is soft and
flexible.
Windows, as every housekeeper
knows, should never by any chance be
cleaned when the sun is shining on
them, for the water drying more quick
" than it can be wiped away leaves
the glass streaked.
If you have never tried saving your
lemon and orange skins to add to the
bath water, do so. Not only will they
inlpart to it pleasant odor, but
tonic properties that render it pecu-
liarly cooling and refreshing.
Quilts of wool are superseding in a
degree the down quilts which have for
long held sway as the most desirable
of bed coverings. The new style of
quilts may be had in variety of pref
ty shades of silk, with lining of
Shetland wool Of fine quality.

Fools Are Not All Dead.

Among the public servants who. are
worried by foolish questions the su,
perintendent of mails in the postoffice
gets his full share. One Of his visitors
last week was a man who said to the
deputy who answered the call at the
window:
Il am going out of town today and
want to get letter to my brother, who
is on board the Majestic, and she is
not due until Wednesday. I don'i
know. where he will stay in New York
or where be will go from here. Can
you help me?"
"Certainly we can," said the clerk.
"a mailboat goes to meet the steamer,
and if you address your letter properly
and put domestic postage on it it will
he delivered all right"
"But how shall I address it-where
shall I send it?"
"Address it John Smith, passenger
on board incoming steamer Majestic,
due in New York December 12.' Tha'
will reach him."
"No city? No nothipg?"
"That's adjust as I told you.
The man thanked the clerk and wen
away, and came back a little later Will
an addressed letter in his hand.
"S.y," he said to the clerk, "abou'
that letter. I've addressed it and
stamped it all right, but the man.

that?"-New York Tribune.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRINTING.
How the Best Photographers Study Their
Subjects.

How the Best Photographers Study Their
Subjects.
In an article on photography as
a Fine Art" in Everybody's Magazine,
Charles H. Caff1n suggests the Difficult
ty which confronts the artistic pho
tographer in his attempt to make a
fine portrait. "The painter" he says,
"enjoys the opportunity Of studying
his subjects character and character
jstic pose and expression in many sit
tings, and can gradually elaborate the
record Of what he sees, striving to
make it comprehend or suggest the
many-sidedness CT h:s subject. This.
however, is great gift, and few there
be that find it; but It constitutes the
grandeur of the great portraits of the
world. l have heard Of photog-
rapher inviting to his studio some one
whose portrait he wished to take, and
on many occasions in the unrestraint
of conversation studying his charac-
teristics, and then one day, by little
ruse, securing a negative-plate when
the subject thought it was something
at his side that was being photo
graphed. But this is obviously i'm
practicable as a rule. and the photog-
rapher must ordinarily rely upon
ouickness or sympathy and compre-
hension, upon his ability to cultivate
confidence at short notice. and the
power of rapid decision as to pose and
lighting, so that he saves the sitter
the oppressive feeling of being operat-
ed upon. One can imagine the diff
Guilty of this. and it is surprising how
the best photographers surmount it.
There Is another side to the portrait,
which is that. besides being a good
likeness, it may be a beautiful pic
ture, and one is inclined to believe
that. in this respect the photographers
succeed more often than the painters.
Indeed, one may go further and assert
that, in this country today. the por-
traits by the best photographers at
tain a higher average of all-round ex-
cellence than those by the best
painters.

The L1test Cure foe Measles.

DR.. Chatiniere. an eminent Paris
practitioner, has just brought to the
attention of the Academy of Music
new discovery for the cure of
measles. 1t consists simply of con-
fining the patient in room with the
windows hung in red shades or cur
tains through which the sunlight en-
ters.
The physician says he has demon
strated the efficacy of reddened sun
rays in ~ cases of well-developed
measles, cures following with wonder
;ul rapidity.
The discovery is the result of obser-
vations among peasants of the Vosges,
Caucasus, Finland and other countries,
where the women have habit of en-
veloping children suffering from
measles in red cloths.-Paris Corre.
