How He Cured the Bell.

The late Father Boyle. who for years
was one of the most prominent and
popular Catholic priests In Washing
ton. had a great reputation as wit.
Some of his most intimate friends were
Protestants and members of the Prot
estant clergy. A few months before
his death he erected missionary chap
ell down by the navy yard and bought
at a junkshop an old bell which had
been discarded by one of the Protes-
tant churches. He sent the bell to a
foundry In Georgetown and had sew
eral inches of metal pared Off the rim.
Having thus got rid of a crack, the
harsh and discordant tones of the bell
became soft and sweet Meeting a
Presbyterian minister not long after,
Father Boyle called his attention to the
change, and the latter could scarcely
believe 1t was the same bell.
What In the world did you do to
that BELL" inquired"the Presbyterian
pastor. ITO cause such a change In the
toner
I'VE blessed 1t and blessed 1t and
blessed 1t until we got the Presbyterian
devil out of It." retorted Father Boyle,

how soon we see it fade. The young
wife looks at her yellow skin, sunken
cheeks and hollow eyes and marvels at
her own falling off. And the younger
girls still retaining the beauty Of youth
wonder "what her husband could have
seen attractive in her" not knowing that
it will be their turn to fade very soon.
HOW TO KEEP BEAUTY.
In order to preserve this beauty of
youth, to retain the charm of sweetness
and freshness which belongs to maiden
hood, the prerequisite is to understand
that the chief foe of woman's beauty is
womanly ill-health. Young women are
often very careless of themselves. The
temptation of the dance, or of the sleigh
ride overrules their prudence, and the
result is suppression and perhaps irregu-
larity. This is only the beginning of
worse evils, and yet this alone is suf-
ficient to steal the freshness from the
face. The womanly health should be
protected with the utmost care and the
first symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use Of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
III will always recommend DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Pellets for
they cured me when doctors and other
medicines failed" writes Mrs. Mary E.
Lewis, Of Tanner, Gilmer Co., w. Va.
"For fifteen years l suffered untold
misery. When I commenced taking DR..
Pierce's medicines, had given up all
hope of ever getting we'll. could not

SMOOTH MRS. BILDAD.

"No use talking to me about new

money to pay the grocery, meat and
rent bills"
With a smile Mrs. Bildad extracted
a slip of paper from her pocket and
laid it on the table where she could
see it.

a KITCHEN CLOSET.

a handy kitchen closet and work
table combined, that will be found
very convenient to place in kitchen
where there is no pantry, and which
will hide away many things that one
does not like to see hanging in main
view, is here described:
To make one of these closets, pro.
cure large dry goods box forty-six
inches square. Get as smooth one
rs you can. Such boxes can be read
lily obtained when merchants are I'M
packing their new spring stock. II
one OF this size cannot be procured,
get two long, heavy shoe boxes, and
have the good man knock them to
pieces and build one the right size out
OF the two. The box should have but
three sides, the other side, which is
the front, being left open. Nail two
narrow strips of board up the front
edges to stay them. On the inside
fasten two cleats, about one foot down
from the top, and fit in wide, smooth
shelf, which can be painted any color
desired. Indian red is a good color,
as it does not show dust.
A row of hooks or nails can be fas-
tened along each side just below the
shelf, on which to hang skillets, stew
pans, etc., and still there will be found
room enough inside to stow away sew
eral kettles and jars.
A dark denims curtain, slightly
gathered, extends all round three sides
of the box, and is tackled to the top
edge with small tacks. The curtain
at the front side is made in one piece,
wide enough to hang in gathers.
Make small case at the top, through
which run brass rod. Fasten the
rod on each side at the top of box
with screws. This curtain can be
showed up from either side to allow of
looking into the closet. Take one or
two layers of heavy wrapping paper
over the top of the box, for a pad, and
over this spread square of pretty oil
cloth, large enough to hang down the
sides q few inches.
The brass rod for hanging the cur
tain on can be obtained at the furni-
ture dealers, and is such as is used in
front of bookshelves.
Small rollers should be put under
each corner of the closet, so that it
can be moved readily, but it does very
we'll without them.
If one does not care to 60 to the ex-
pense of the curtain, the closet can be
papered on three sides with large
sheets of heavy, dark, reddish-brown
paper, such as is used in hardware
stores, and if sized and vanished, can
be washed the same as any woodwork.
If the closet is covered with paper it
will have to be fastened on with very
small tacks.

Folding Napkins.

For long time in this country it
has been considered bad form in pri.
vate houses to fold table napkins into
fancy shapes. The napkins when
ironed are folded four times, forming
q small square; one is then laid flat
beside each plate at the right of the
knives. At dinner, dinner roll il
laid under the top fold of the napkin
to be taken out by the person who il
to use the napkin when ready to un'
fold it. The reason for this probably
10 that it gives the diner the assurance
that no dust can have settled upon
the roll.
But at even very elegant private
Iuncheons at Delmonico's in New
York. the napkins are often folded
into cooked hat" shapes. And or
some very elegant private English
tables one sees the same thing.
