LAUNDRY LINES.

If coffee is spilled on linen, the stains
can be removed by soaking the part
for II hours in clear cold water to
which little borax has been added.
After you have washed and ironed
your ribbons draw them swiftly under
the flatiron, holding it on one edge. Do
this two or three times and your ribbon
will not be stiff, but soft and pliable.
To wash very yellow or grimy things
make an emulsion of kerosene, clear
limewater and turpentine in equal
parts Shake them together until
creamy, then add cupful to boiler
full of clothes and boil for half an hour
Acetic acid concentrated vinegar
will restore colors that have been in
iured by the alkali in soap or by soda,
ammonia or substances of a similar ma
ture. Conversely stains made with
acids, which are hostile to some dark
colors, may be removed with dissolved
soda.

STRICTLY Annronrinte.

One of the pretty Sunday school
teachers has a class of little girls, and
it is her custom to tell them each Sun
day of some little incident that has
happened in the week and request the
children TO quote verse of Scripture
to illustrate the story. In this way
she hopes to impress the usefulness
OF Biblical knowledge upon the little
ones. Last Sunday she told her class
of a cruel boy who would catch cats
and cut their tails off.
"Now, can any little girl tell me of
an appropriate verseY she asked.
There was a pause for few moments,
when one little girl arose and in sol
emn voice said:
Whatsoever God has Joined together
let no man put asunder. "-Carthage

TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
what to Do and what Not to Do 70
These Lite Wen md Momen


I have seen a good deal in the papers
recently about the training of children.
The fads in that line seem to be increas
ing, but no two of these fads fadge
There is business common sense. and
there is professional common sense and
there is social common sense, and | find
no reason why there should not be pa
rental common sense. You cannot bring
up children with the strap or the slap

except on the subject of vanities There.
no doubt, he was at home; or, let us say,
had them at home, in the shape of 900
wives, straight and morganatic. Probably
there were few offspring and more than
likely the "Original Mormon maintained
police force, with slaves to keep the
family in order. Spare the rod and
spoil the child" is in Keeping with 'Hew
Agag in pieces before the Lord" A
licking to boy is akin to capital punish
ment-it pretty nearly knocks all tho
manhood life out of him. You must
treat children as human beings, and not
as pet animals, which often get kicks
and cuffs, as well as dainty food
The first thing to be considered is the
physical health of the child Don't swad-
die it needlessly. Kicking the ball for
the growing youth is good, and kicking
the bedclothes is good for the infant.
Even if there are no bedclothes to kick
the air will do. Don't be in a hurry to
soothe it if it cries. Crying is exercise
and won't hurt it bit. When it gets
older and can talk, help it with the names
of things. Don't carry it with one arm
hanging over your shoulder. That arm
may be prevented from growing into
proper shape and so be shorter than the
other or one shoulder may be higher than
the other. Let it lie and sprawl and
crawl. By and by when it is big enough
to understand things don't talk nonsense
to it, but sense. Tell it things, and then
make it tell you back. Put something
into the mind and then draw it out again
with questions.
My advice is never to use threats to a
boy 1t is mean, and it makes the child
feel mean and by and by become mean.
Never say, IF you do so and so, I'll whip
you" If the boy does what you have
forbidden him to do and he expects a
whipping, when you ask him, did you
do so and SOP" fearing punishment, he
will more than likely lie. Lying is the
only defense helpless child has in such o
case. He can't square off and prepare to
make fight of it, and so he lies. You
can't blame him. Use reason and affec-
tionate counsel and not threats, and if
he disobeys you love him and tell him
how unhappy he has made you by his
disobedience. Don't let him be burdened
with books or he'll break down. See that
he is taught and not crammed. From

nurses arms" to the '1ean and sIippered

The Hair and Sail water

one of the popular resorts, ''why women
are so careless about their hair am
kept busy all winter trying to get hair in
good condition that was spoiled in the
summer There is nothing that hurts the
roots of the hair as sea bathing does, yet
many women battle nearly every day for
q month of two, and seldom have the
hair properly washed afterward, and
then they wonder why it falls out in
winter, and have massage and tonics for
six months to make it healthy again.
"They often think, because only a part
of the hair gets wet, just under the edge
of the cap, that there is no harm done,
but that is just where the harm comes.
1t is at the roots that the water does
most damage"

Don't Wear Tight Gloves.

Tight gloves are worse than tight
shoes. The shoes may give dainty look
to the foot in spite of the tortures en-
dured, but tight gloves make the hands
fat and red and ugly. The flesh bulees
out and wrinkles form. Gloves should
be worn so easily fitting that rings may
be worn with them. The red, creased
look of the palm when gloves are too
tight is abominable. The woman who
wears the glove is the only one who is
denuded into the belief that her hand
looks we'll in it.

Prone to Exaggerate.

AS a rule women don't know exactly
how much to tell in order to make a
subject interesting. They are apt to en-
ter into petty details and even to exagger-
ate a little in their efforts to make story
impressive.
The fact that men are less prone to
this fault than women is probably due,
not to superior virtue, but to their prac.
teal business training, which has accus-
toned them to express their thoughts as
clearly and in as few words as possible.
Clearness, simplicity and brevity in relat-
ing story are the great things to be aim.
