An older child will be able to describe
its bad feelings. II they are serious, it
will be well to get the advice of the doc
tor. A call at the very outset may save
days of sickness. Three things the moth
er can always do safely when a child is
ailing. First, restrict or stop all food.
There will be no danger of starvation.
People live for month or more without
any food whatever, and many a child is
benefited by absolute fasting for day or
two.
The young child about to be sick usual
Iy refuses to partake of food. and in
many instances that is the first indica-
ton to the mother that he is ailing.
When this sign becomes manifest, it is
advisable not to force the food, but to
trust to the child's inclinations, and usu-
ally we do not go astray. If he will take
his food in smaller quantities at the reg
ular intervals, well and good, but IL he
absolutely refuses you can take comfort
in the fact that he may so from "a to AZ
hours without food with no danger of the
slightest injury.
Second, the mother can make sure that
the bowels are open. A mild dose Of cas-
tor oil will do no harm in any event and
often clears up the trouble as by magic.
Third. the mother can prevent exposure
to cold and wet and enforce quiet. An
uneasy and fretful child is often better
off If put quietly to bed.

Te. Table super.tition..

OF course no one is superstitious in
these enlightened days. Our great-grand-
mothers. however, were made very differ
emily. and it is interesting to read OF the
mysterious meanings they attached to al
most every little incident of everyday
life that was at all out Of the ordinary
course of things
The tea table, for instance. afforded
ample scope for the play of superstition
in the feminine mind. III, when the tea
was made, the lid was forgotten for a
few minutes. il was sure sign that some
one would drop in to tea.
If one person accidentally received two
spoons with cup of tea, she would be
married within year.
If any one helped herself to cream or
milk before sugar, she would be crossed
in love.
A tea leaf floating in the cup of an up-
married lady was a sign that she had an
admirer. If. on this occasion, the tea
was stirred quickly and the spoon being
then held upright in the middle of the
cup. the leaf was attracted to the spoon
and chung to it. the admirer would be
sure to call that day, and if the tea leaf
went to the side of the cup, he was not to
be expected so soon.

should be seen and the eye properly treat
ed, but when no marked developments OF
any of these symptoms occur the above
tonic will remove distress if used several
times day. The boracic asd is best dis
solved in little boiling water. 1t may
then be added as required to either soft
water or to rosewater and applied to the
eye, preferably in the form Of bath.
At every drug store small so called eye
glasses are for sale at from to 10 cents
each. Into this small glass little of the
eye tonic is put, and the glass, which
just fits the eye, is placed over the eye.
1t is best to lie down when you are using
this glass; then none of the solution will
leak out. Open the eye wide into the
glass and keep it open as much as posi-
Bile. This bath viii do the eye great
deal of good.
Never attempt to read when the light is
poor or when you are in a reclining posi-
ton, as the strain flattens the eyeball and
Injuries the sight. Avoid rubbing the
eyes. II they are irritated, battle them
in the boracic acid solution above refer
red to. Avoid dazzling lights and sudden
changes. Rest the eyes frequently when
you are doing fine work. You can do this
by closing them for few seconds at a
time or by looking at objects at dis
tance.-Bessie Williams in American

An Arti.tic Dining Room.

Foreigners complain that Americans
hurry through the pleasantest part Of the
day-namely, mealtime. Dickens criti-
cised this failing. or rather caricatured it,
so that Americans who are sensitive pass
over that part of his American notes in
great hurry. 1t is true that the average
American gives little heed TO the value of
time spending in leisurely meals, and few
realize that the dining room should re-
ceive even more attention than the recep-
ton room. There we receive our casual
guests; in the dining room we live and
come in close contact with our families.
1t should be a matter of earnest study to
see that this room is arranged and fitted
up as it should be. Those fortunate wom-
en- who count in their list of blessings
long, low studded. paneled dining room
are objects of envy TO their less lucky
friends. Such room with old oak fur
nishings and old fashioned china can be
made a delight to the eyes. The floor
should be of hard wood. Immediately
waxed and polished until it is so shiny
that you almost long to skate upon it. A
handsome rug should be placed in the
middle of the room and rug of CORE
spending color, texture and design placed
at the door. Preferably the furniture
should match the floor, though lounge
upholstered in cretonne of the delft pat
tern is not amiss, and, as in small houses
the dining room is frequently the living
room, this couch should be covered with
comfortable pillows. Never allow the ia
BILE to be disordered. After meals the
china, glass and damask tabIecloth should
be removed.-Chicago American.

There is a certain girl in town who
thinks that when a man invites a friend
of her sex out TO dinner he should ''de-
clare himself''-that is, he should give her
to understand whether or not she has
carte blanche to order all she wants to
eat and drink, irrespective of the cost.
This fair one feels that she has d per-
sonal grievance and therefore has a right
to complain.
A young man from out of town invited
the fair damsel her sister and their aunt
to dine with him the other day, and the
invitation was accepted with some mis-
givings. "The young man doesn't look
especially opulent," confded the girl to
a friend, "and l never heard that he was
rich, so all three of us, with feminine
precipitation, instantly jumped to the
conclusion that he had to struggle to
keep the wolf from the door and ordered
accordingly. l was fearfully hungry, but
took all the reasonable things on the
menu, the scrappy things really did not
care much about. and put away from me
the more expensive viands as out of the
question.
Louise and Aunt Effie did the same.
and poor Mr.. Blank nearly had apoplexy
in his rage at what he called our birdlike
appetltes. When he came TO pay for that
meal, he pulled roll of bank notes from
his pocket as big as your wrist, and since
] have heard that he is a millionaire and
that to him a dinner to three women at
fashionable restaurant is a mere baga-
telle.
Maybe / haven't regretted my wasted
opportunity" said the frivolous maid,
l''and perhaps / haven't sighed over the
delicacies that did not consume on that
Hateful night, but shall have nothing to
regret in the future. I'll just frankly ask
the next person who invites me to dine
with him what his circumstances are and
act accordingly; that's what will do"
And the frivolous maid nodded her head
quite as if she really meant it.-Chicago

The art of laundering summer goods is
not difficult one to acquire. After the
garments are washed clean. rinse through
two waters, having the second one slight
ly blue. Every trace of soap must be re-
moved il they look clear, and this can be
accomplished only by thorough rinsing.
Prepare starch by putting a cupful Of
lump starch in kettle, pour on pint Of
cold water and stir until smooth. Then
pour in boiling water and cook until
clear stirring constantly. Dissolve a
level teaspoonful of borax in boiling wa
ter and add it to the starch. The borax
will keep the irons from sticking and
gives the work gloss. IL it Is too thick
when it cools, pour water in it until it is
the proper consistency. Into this starch
dip dresses, shirt waists, trimmed por-
tons of Undertaking, skirts to within a
foot of the top, aprons, etc. Skirts must
be stiff to make the summer dresses look
well, but not stiff enough to rattle. Hang
the dainty colored fabrics in the shade
until dry; then dampen and roll tightly
for several hours before ironing.
Embroidery should be Strengthened out
and ironed on the wrong side to make the
pattern show nicely. Smooth the lace out
on the ironing board while it is damp,
spread thin white cloth over it and iron
carefully until dry. Whether the dresses
are ironed on the right or wrong side de-
ponds upon the material, some goods look
ing better with one treatment and some
with the other. Keep the irons dry, and
If they are rough smooth them by rub
