A Narrow Escape From Being
Burned To Death.

The small child of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. B Middlecoff had narrow es-
cape from being burned to death
Tuesday afternoon of last week and
was saved from horrible death by
the presence of mind of its mother.
The child and it's brother were
playing and the latter fred off a
toy pistol. and in some manner the
baby's dress was ignited by the dis
charge. Its screams brought the
mother to the rescue and she
snatched the burning dress off the
baby. The only damage was the
loss of two of the baby's curls, a
burned dress and a badly scared
mother-Charleston Gazette.

The bathtub has been called one
Of the best symbols Of modern civ

of the bathroom is a good index Of
the character Of the housekeeping.
If not so luxurious as the baths Of
the days of ssQuo Vadis," the up to

gance at least outriYals them in the

In the simple matter Of soap dishes
there is surprisingly extensive ar
ray. Especially attrac tiye are those
Of nickel. There are simple skele-
ton trays which allow the water to
drip through the bars. Small nickel
trays are corrugated, thus prevent
ing the soap from lying in the wa
ter. Circular and elliptical dishes
are equipped with a perforated tray
which performs the same service in
the interest of economy. Some Of
these dishes are f furnished with COW
ers. Dishes with a nickel frame
have porcelain trays. Very conven-
lent are the nickel dishes which can
be readily and securely attached to
the side Of the tub or fastened to

all OVER THE HOU sE.
What 50 % II = Child 70 Accide
Poisoned. s

Some children seem to have the
knack Of endangering their small
ives with alarming frequency, and
it is well to be prepared for all sorts
and conditions Of emergencies.
There is>the child, for instance,
who has the mania for tasting.
Nothing is safe from its small lips,
from the dregs left at the bottom Of
fathers coffee cup to the fascinat-
ing bottles on mothers washstand.
This tasting mania is very apt to
end with the child being poisoned
sooner or later. All lotions and lin
iments should be kept under lock
and key. Il
Some cough mixtures contain a
large percentage Of opium, and as
they are sweet - the taste a tiny
child is very apt to seize the bottles
if left within its reach and drink the
entire contents.
Fortunately some poisons have
the effect Of making the child sick
and SO lessening the danger. But
do not wait for nature to relieve
herself in this way, but give the
little one an emetic made with two
heaped up teaspoonfuls Of mustard,
mixed in half teacupful Of warm
water. Should this not act in ff-
teen minutes, repeat the dose. Aft
er the child has been sick give copi-
Gus drafts Of warm water.
The symptoms Of opium poison
ing are vomiting, drowsiness, end
ing finally in stupor. At all costs
the little one must be kept awake.
OF, poor mite, he will never wake
slgain. Resort to smart sslaps, ifsnec-
essary, to effect this and carry him
into the air. In all cases Of poison
ing remember:
First. Send instantly for the
doctor.
Second. Make the child Violent
" sick.
Third. Keep him awake.
And, finally, I would suggest that
Ia child with a tasting mania"
should be cured Of its propensity
by leaving an attractive looking but
bitter tasting liquid within its
reach.

How to Make Paper Cases.

Cut six pieces Of writing paper,
measuring four and a half inches
square. Fold each side over to the
depth Of one and quarter inches,
which will give at each corner a
square Of one and half inches.
Cut on one side Of this square only;
turn the sides up and fasten with a
paste made Of a teaspoonful Of -four
and about four tablespoo nfuls Of
tepid water. Pour the remainder
into a saucer, the depth Of which
will probably be an eighth Of an
inch. Dip each case into the batter
and then into fine bread rumbs;
dip into the batter again, then again
into the crumbs: Have a frying pan
on the fire with hot drippings; take
each case by the bottom and hold
it deep enough in the hot drippings
to brown the breadcrumbs. The re-
gu. suit will be pretty paper case, two
inches square and an inch and a
quarter deep, which use as directed.

Unique Floor Covering.

a woman who for years has used
the ordinary table oilcloth to cover
her bedroom and her summer cot
tage floors says it is the cheapest
and most satisfactory covering she
knows Of. She lays it with plenty
Of paper underneath to give it
spring and body. Contrary to ones
first impression, it wears remarka-
bly, well and is much easier wiped
off and kept clean than the bare
floors. If one has never investigated
table oilcloths, she will be surpris-
