BEAUTY SPOTS.

A bag of bran in the bath softens the
bather's skin.
\ slice of cucumber may be rubbed
on the face instead of soap now and
then with good results.
The eyelashes may be strengthened
by the gentlest massage, using at the
same time plain vaseline.

Half teaspoonful of glycerin and
rosewater mixed well with a little

A Word About Art Careers.


Many girls who must enter the lists
with the wage earners have been bless
ed with a generous degree of artistic
taste and talent of no great promise
perhaps, but sufficient to bias them in
making choice of profession. To paint
a little and TO play a little are accom-
plishments most girls acquire, but
when they have their living to earn by
these means they find that there is a
music teacher under every chip and
that decorating score cards and pro
grammes or now and then china plate
is uncertain in its returns. 1t takes
genius and extraordinary perseverance
to succeed in the arts, as the long
struggles, bitter poverty and chary sue
cesses of many really gifted will bear
out.
The girl is wise who refuses to be
misled by fond friends and hattering
acquaintance who see in her amateur
daubs the prophecy of a great future.
At the same time if she loves art and
feels that she could be happier and
Just as successful in the pursuit of it,
there are many forms of it that pay a
good living almost from the first. and
can be made stepping stone TO better
things if fame, like lightning. is bound
to strike.

4 Rule of Fashion.

The smartly gowned girl never for
gets TO have at least a touch Of the
same color in her hat and petticoat.
She always carries out in her dress the
idea Of a finished picture. If she uses
certain color in one place in her cos
tune she is careful to see that the same
tone is reflected somewhere else, even
if it is only in the band of satin rib
bon which she now sews on the inner
side of the hem of her dress skirt. This
band of ribbon is about two inches
wide and is sewed to the bottom of the
dress skirt on the inside just where you
would generally sew the braid. 1t is
only visible when the skirt is lifted or
when the wind blows it about.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

Bread Fingers.

Bread fingers. particularly good with
soup, need only little care to be cas-
lily made at home, and it will be found
that the family will take most kindly
to them. Put a pint of milk over the
fire When steaming hot, take from
fire and add two ounces of butter
When lukewarm, add one yeast cake
dissolved in a half cupful of warm
water and Il teaspoonful of salt Then
stir in sufficient flour to make a dough.
Knead well and put in bowl; cover and

Then turn out on board, cut into small
bits. form into roll length and size of

Lace Curfnins.

Lace curtains may be made to look
new If washed with care. Place the
curtains in soapy water and let them
remain there for some time. then wiring

Squeeze, shake out and squeeze again,
taking care to work gently so as to
avoid breaking the fine threads. Re
peat the dipping and squeezing process
until the curtains are perfectly clean.
Rinse in clear water. If the curtains
are yellow, they may be bleached by
being placed on clean grass in the
wright sunlight or soaked for a few
minutes in javelle water. A final rims
ing in borax water will give a slight
stiffness to the lace. -Four teaspoons of

To Clean Carpets.

A recipe for a compound which will
clean carpets is taken from trade
journal and is as follows: Make a suds
with a good white soap and hot water
and add fuller's earth to this until of
the consistency of thin cream. Have
plenty Of clean drying cloths, a small
scrubbing brush, large sponge and a
pail of fresh water. Put some of the
cleaning mixture in bowl and dip the
brush in it. Brush a small piece of
carpet with this. Then wash the sponge
in cold water. Dry as much as possible
with the sponge and finally rub with
dry cloths. Continue this until you are
sure that all the carpet is clean; then
let ii dry.

The Thrift of knowledge.

"The thrift of knowledge" says an
old housekeeper. rs what the average
young matron who is beginning house
keeping bitterly lacks. | often smile at
her orders as hear them given while
am at the market Send me home
nice steak says one, or some nice
chops or, as one often hears. 1 want a
piece of roast beef or roast veal today
1t is this trustful confidence in the
butchers discretion that runs up the
marketing bills and often secures a
very poor equivalent. Butchers are
very human. and the temptation to
send a poor cut at a good price to a
buyer who betrays so palpably her ig-
norance of what she is getting is one
that few Of them can resist. 1t is ey-
traordinary to me that the subject Of
domestic science is so slow in getting
into our schools and colleges for wo-
men"

The Fungus Plant.

All the energies of the fungus plant
seem to be directed to the production
of germs for propagating its kind.
Their number is often almost incalcu-
liable. You have doubtless observed
that the common puff ball when ma
ture is filled with fine dust, and this
consists entirely of spores correspond
ing to seeds, which are eventually diff
fused in the air by the bursting of the
puff ball. In a single puff ball more
than 100000 of them have been
counted, and when these minute bod
les are once set afoat in the atmos-
phere they are distributed abroad over
an indefinite space, being so small that
1t is difficult to conceive of a place
from whicl they could be excluded.
Their astonishing fertility and rapidity
of growth are among the most remark
able characteristics Of this vegetable
tribe.

The CbiIdren's Swing,

"All the gymnastic exercise that a
small growing boy needs can be obtain
ed by means of swing, with board
on which hecan stand" said a woman
the other day when discussing the
methods she had pursued in bringing
up her own children and the expert
ence she had gained by her associa-
ton with educational work. 1T is pos
sible to have such swing in almost
every home where there are children.
Any one who has observed small boy
swinging must have noticed that every
part of the body is brought into motion.
To acquire momentum the child crouch
es down and then straightens out, and
as the swing moves back and forth ev-
cry muscle is brought into play. Every
growing boy should devote at least ten
minutes daily to this form of exercise,
for it is worth more than all the patent
gymnastic appliances ever invented"

The most widely read poem in Italy
was written by present day Italian
woman, Ada Negri. who is now only
thirty-two years old.
The poem is entitled The Working
Mother" and has appeared again and
again in every newspaper in Italy,
most frequently in those which are read
by the working classes, and thus has
become as familiar to the Italian peo-
pie as Longfelow's Psalm of Life" IS
to us. 1t is supposed to be an epitome
of her career and a revelation of the
feelings of woman in her circum-
stances. Her father died when she was
Il mere child. and her mother led mis-
cradle life of labor and sacrifice in or
der to secure an education for her child.
In 1896 Miss Negri married a wealthy
manufacturer named Garlanda, who
has placed her and her mother in sur
roundings of the greatest luxury and
beauty, although she still continues
her literary work and publishes her
poems under her maiden name.-Chi-

Children and Respect.

Don't let your children make slave
of you. They soon lose their respect
for any one who bows down before
them. You want your grownup sons
and daughters to reverence you in lat.
er years, to come to you as a final
court of appeal. Above all, you want
their love and trust and friendship.
Nothing is more pitiful than to see
the way some grownup children treat
their mothers. mothers who have cheer.
fully given up everything for them
when they were little, and the saddest
thing of all is that such mothers have
generally only themselves to blame for
this deplorable state of things.

The Chatting Dish,

There is no time when the chatting
dish is more convenient than at the
Sunday evening meal. Every woman
who has a home should have one of
these luxuries and learn how to use it,
In many homes this meal is looked for
ward to as the most delightful of the
whole week. because this is the day
when no one has to hurry, when all the
family are together, and not the least
because of the delicious dishes prepar-
ed over the lamp and the informal way
in which they are served

Selecting n Ham For Roasting.

Do not select too lean joint. The
fat of ham is often considered so
much waste weight. So it may be in
many families, but one would not Sc.
lect a very thin piece of roast beef for
roasting. 1t would surely be dry and
tough when cooked. Now. a we'll fed
and quickly fatted hog will furnish
tender, juicy and fine favored meat.
Bear this in mind, and you will be
willing to lose a little extra fat for
your gain in the superior qualities of
every other ounce of the flesh. Let the

The Care of Gloves.

The care which a girl gives to her
belongings shows her wisdom and her
common sense. Even in the little mat
ter of taking off her gloves there is a
right and a wrong way. The right way
is to turn the wrists back over the
hand and pull them off wrong side out.
If they are in the least dampened by
moisture from the hand, leave them
a few moments to dry; then turn them
right side out and look carefully for
the faintest giving way of thread.
\ stitch in time saves whole finger
end often in the case of gloves. The
stitch should be taken with fine glove
thread the exact shade of the gloves,
using Il fine needle and sewing on the
right side. Then. after busting them
lightly with powder, if still at all
damp, lay them neatly in a glove box,
keeping light pairs folded in tissue pa
per and in receptacles long enough to
permit their being laid at full length.

The Best Kind of Baskets.

A general mistake is made about bas-
kets. most people supposing that the
white willow basket is the best. 1t
looks best, but it is by no means the
strongest. The white willow slips
are cut in the fall and kept green all
winter 10y packing their stubs in wet
sand or water, and when spring comes
the bark peels off with a twist of the
hand The buff baskets. on the con
trary, are made from dried willow
slips, which have been steamed and
then peeled. While not so handsome,
they are much stronger and will wear
far longer than the white.

Rub it with cold drawn linseed oil
and polish by rubbing with a clean dry
cloth after wiping the oil from the fur
niture. Do this once a week. and your
mahogany tables will be so finely pol
ished that hot water will not injure
them. The reason is this: Linseed oil
hardens when exposed to the air, and
when it has filled all the pores of the
wood the surface becomes hard and
smooth, like glass.

Growing girls who are tall for their
