dish passed, with it came this crisp, de-
licious toast, cooked at the moment of
serving The slices were cut, literally,
'Has thin as a wafer" and spread out
to dry an hour or two before needed.
They were finally spread out on hot
tin plate, popped in the top shelf of a
quick oven long enough to curl up a
little and take on pale shade of
brown This toast is particularly
grateful to people of delicate digestion,
but is so appetizing that it has be-
come fad to lovers of dainty living.
1t may also be served at luncheon with
fruit. Housekeepers who find them
selves at the mercy of country butch
er should call to mind the French
method of improving" tough meat
An impossible beefsteak, for instance,
may be transformed into one that is
tender and juicy if it is allowed to
stand over night in a mixture of vim
egar and salad oil in equal parts. For
a three pound steak half a cupful of
the mixture should be put in a crock
cry plate or dish, large enough to
spread the meat out in. Prepare this
early in the evening and before retiring
turn the steak. What is left of the
mixture should be bottled for the next
time. Don't use salt or pepper while
it is in the oil and vinegar.-San Fran

Regulate Dress Ru Law.

The advice of number of Chicago
women to Health Commissioner Meigs
of New York, who proposes to intro
duce city ordinance compelling
women to wear short skirts on the
street, is that he has a hard battle
to fight. Not but that they approve of
short skirts for the street. 1t is the
attempt to regulate dress by law in
which they see difficulties.
They picture the predicament of the
policemen watching all the women who
pass and trying to see that none of
their skirts touch the sidewalk. And
yet many of them approve his idea and
think good may come of it. They point
to the ordinance requiring the re-
moval of headgear. 1t never was en-
forced by law, they say; but the weight
of the ordinance has been felt, and it
has so influenced public opinion that
hats are removed.

Thin stockings should be darned
with fine worsted
Try tackina piece of net-old yelling
or plain net will do-across a LARGE
hole; then take the threads in and out
through this
A good plan is to strengthen the
knees and heels of children's stockings
by darning them for some distance on
the wrong side, when they are bought.
AS to washing stockings:
Don't use soda; have the water mod
erately warm for both washing and
rinsinE.
Wash Isle thread stockings in tepid
water; use a little soap on the feet
only. Rinse in hard water. Dry
quickly in the breeze and press with a
warm iron.
Silk stockings should be washed in
tepid water with mild soap. Rinse
them in several waters. Shake them
well, and roll then in a cloth to dr..
after pulling them into shape.
Two-threaded black SaXony is one of
the best things to darn black stock
ings. It will keep its color better than
any of the regular darning cottons and
is softer and generally more satisfac-
tory

MOTHERHOOD.

Tis but of trifies. all the sweet lore,
Wherein we grow so wise, as days go
by;
And that within the house, so still be-
fore.
Trembles a baby's cry.
Yet happy mother, whose fond arms en-
fold
The fragile burden that so strangely
stirs,
And. cooling, clings with weak, appealing
hold
That yet is wholly hers!
Oh. happy mother, who in silence hears
Such chords as thrill too touchingly
for sound:
Who pauses at the threshold of the years,
AS upon holy ground!
Blest woman she, whose lips are shaping
now.
In soft vague syllabIes this wondrous
good:
Who wears in queenliness upon her brow
The crown of motherhood!
Tho but of trifies all the new sweet lore,
Wherein we grow so wise as days go
by,
Alas, for homes thro which, like ours
of Yore,
Trembles no baby's cry!

The Critical Year of Married Life.

Some folks have way of declaring
that the first year of married life is
the most trying" writes Edward Box
in the October Ladies Home Journal.
But where one gets a close knowledge
of several families the conviction is
brought home that the trying period
lies beyond the first year | should
fix it rather at the third year, when
the pretty trousseau is showing wear
and needs replenishing: when the we'd
ding presents have lost their lustre and
this thing has to be replaced; when
little family is growing up and doc
tors bills are introduced into the fam
lily reckoning. That is the trying per-
iod when interests are to become very
close. Life-saving of the comparative
ly care-free and less expensive first
year of married life comes in handy.
or is sadly missed if the income was
then lived up to in unnecessary buying
and entertaining. A great deal of hap
piness in this world is wrecked by debt
that could have been avoided if lit
tie more care and common sense had
been exercised -

Sound Thoughts.

L never have seen any good man
ners, any real beauty, anything noble
or good, outside of plain, simple nat
uralness.
Taciturnity is an ornament, and in
silence is security; therefore, be thou
not loquacious, for if thou repent once
of thy silence thou wilt assuredly re-
pent many times of thy speech.
When man begins to take low
views of himself and of his fellows, in
stead of comforting himself with the
feeling that he is becoming enamel
pated from the weakness of lesser men.
let him consult a wise physician, diet
himself and take more time for eXer-
else. Such man needs the open air
and the sunlight
Nothing seems easier to neglect or
more natural to postpone than the
monthly confession or communion. Put
off for the once, the habit of procasti-
nation nowhere grows with greater
Vigor. The presence of a tempter is
no figurative creation. There is some
thing mot of ourselves" assisting in
the tendency to delay the duties en-
joined by religion. and to relegate vital
spiritual concerns to a future that may
not be. 1t is done against our better
nature, and against our better judg-
ment. too. Done it is. however. and the
act serves to pave the way for numer-
Gus repetitions.

and are at loss to tell how many
constitutions have been impaired, how
many digestions ruined how many
compilations spoiled and how many
purses emptied through medicine. Pat
ent medicine is often the precursor of
after misery, and the poor constitu-
ton has to pay dearly for its medi-
cinal flip. The wiser philosophy of
the present day is gradually delivering
us from these potent evils. Nature
has self-righting power within her,
there is kind of healing power in the
physical frame. Treat the body kind
ly; let as much pure air as possible get
to the lungs and as much fresh water
as possible be applied to the flesh. and
as much healthy exercise as duty per-
mits be given the muscles. and early
rising as circumstances allow be af-
forded for the recruitment of the brain
and then medicine will be a very avoid
able affair.

OPTIMISM.

Just around the corner, as you travel
through this life,
In some spot that's bright with sunshine
and forever free from strife.
The lane may be a long one, but It's
course will change some day
And lead you to the gates that keep our
sorrows all at bay.
You'll find tasks not so difficult: no les
sons hard to learn,
Just around the corner, If you know the
way to turn.
The winds viii breathe sweet music and
forget their stormy way,
And the rose that died in August in
your heart will smile for aye,
The babble OF the high road will be left
far. far behind
And you'll greet the restful twilight with
a calm. contented mind.
You will reach the land of pleasures, If
the right you care to earn,
They are just around the corner if you
know the way to turn.

ADVICE TO BENEDIcIs.
Treat Your Wife Fairly and She Viii
Not Deceive You.

Treat Your Wife Fairly and She Will
Not Deceive You.
Don't settle down too obviously to
married life. Be as eager to please as
you were before marriage. Aim to
preserve the charm of the honeymoon.
Don't tell her she is illogical She
probably is, but she mustn't know it.
Don't be too reminiscent of the days
before you knew her. From the bat
ties in which you slew the dragon she
may reason to the struggles where
you fell by the wayside.
Remember that the new life, which
to you is merely an episode, is to her a
complete revolution of thought and
haitian undiscovered country Make
allowances for her. The readjustment
is not easy.
Treat her fairly. so that she will not
deceive you.
Keep up the illusion.
Tell her occasionally that you love
her. She knows it, but she likes to
hear it. She can't always take it for
granted.
Start in the way you want to con-
tinue. Particularly in affairs of the
purse. Never humiliate her by max
ing her ask for money. Have a def
mite understanding at first. Money
brings the discord that causes most
family bells to jangle out of tune.
Be thoughtful in little things. A
single rose may perfume a whole day.
Never remark casually that there are
two standards, one for a man and an
other for a woman. Women some
times put two and two together with
surprising accuracy
Remember her woman's instinct.
Be as polite to her mother as in you
lies, without encouraging her to live
with you. 1t pays in the end.
Give advice when you are asked for
it, and not before The unaided work.
ing out of her life problems may be
well nigh homicidal in the process, but
the results will justify your forbear-

Hosiery Points.

A woman who is very particular
about her hosiery gives the following
practical points as to the care of

Stockings too large make the feet

Cheap black stockings are deIu-
sion and a snare.

Don't Be Critical.

Whatever you do, never set up for
a critic. We don't mean a newspaper
one, but in private life. in the domes
tic circle, in society. 1t will not do
any one any good, and it will do you
harm-if you mind being called dis
agreeable. If you don't like any one
nose, or object to any ones chin, don't
put your feelings into words. If any
ones manners don't please you, re-
member your own. People are not AL
made to suit one taste; recollect that
Take things as you find them, unless
you can alter them. Even dinner
after it is swallowed, cannot be mad
any better. Continual fault finding
continual criticism of the speech of
this one, and the conduct of that one,
the dress of the one and the opinions
of the other will make home the I'M
happiest place under the sun. If you
are never pleased with any one, no
one will ever be pleased with YOU

Eat Apples.

The apple is such a common fruit
that few persons are familiar with its
remarkable effiicacious medicinal prop
critics. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing he can do is
to eat an apple just before going to
bed. The aLAle is excellent brain food
because it has more phosphoric acid
in an easily digestible shape, than
any other fruit known. 1t eXcites the
action of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep and thoroughly dis
sinfects the mouth. 1t also agglutinates
the surplus acids of the stomach, helps
the kidney secretion and prevents cal
culous growth, while it obviates indi-
gestion and is one of the best prevent
atives of diseases of the throat. Next
to lemon and orange, ii is also the
best antidote for the thirst and crav-
ing of persons addicted to the alcohol
or opium habit. When persons have
been speaking or singing. and are
hoarse or weary, there is perhaps moth
ing better than to scrape sour apple
into a tumbler of cold water, add
little sugar and then eat it slowly
with spoon. When the athroat has
been irritated with salt and pepper
condiments, a scraped apple in water
will kill the poison of the salt and
bring the throat into a cool and health
full condition. 1t also cleanses the
teeth, kills disease germs and in va
rious ways promotes the general health.

TRANSvAAL WAR ITEMS.

Military men do not regard the out
look in South Africa as entirely salts
factory, although organized Boer oppo-
sition To the British forces is practically
at ap end. 1t is felt that SO long as
the irreconcilables persist in their de-
termination to fight to the bitter end,
the war will drag YEARLY on, with here
and there a little British success TO
chronicle and occasionally news of
some trifiing achievement on the part
of the guirrillas. Meanwhile Kitchen
er's huge army must be maintained,
and English taxpayers must be content
with the knowledge that the campaign
is costing the country nearly, If not
quite, 81, 500, 900 every week.

Lord Kitchener on the 9th reported
that a detachment of hundred men,
5th Lancers and Imprial Yeomanry,
were attacked by 400 Beers to the
northward of Aberdeen, Cape Colony,
and that after several hours fighting
the British were surrounded and cap
tured with the exception of % who
succeeded in making their escape.
A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated
the l4th, says it is reported that the
health of former President SteyR has

has advised all Beers on commando to
law down their arms and surrender
Immediately.
1t is understood at Cape Town that
although Gen. DeWet at his recent in
terview with Gen, Botha, refused To
surrender, Gen. Botha regarding him
as irresponsible, undertakes to nego.
tiate in behalf of the entire Boer forces.
The British authorities here consider
that if Gen. Botha surrenders, DeWet'S
following can easily be taken.
In Transvaal quarters at London il
is declared that Gen. Botha will shortly
renew peace negotiations.
