reproduced continually; one firm of
silversmiths Is manufacturing today
pitchers from pattern that has been
standard in this country for more than
a century, but | know of no attempt
on the part OF dealers to manufacture
bogus American silver.
The ideal collection of old silver,
OF course, is the one that has come
down as an ancestral legacy with
many family traditions clustered
around 1t. but the practice of divid-
ing the family silver among the chill
dren has prevailed to such an extent
in this country that there are few
possessors of enough ancestral silver
today to equip a tea table. There are
few households, however. that do not
boast Of some pieces of ancestral sill

well-worn spoons that belonged to a

silver spoons were luxury. The in

What Not TO INV.

To know what not to buy is the first
thing q woman must learn IL she
would be good shopper. Most ev-
cry woman knows what to buy, and IL
she has plenty of money and can buy
every thing she wants she is fortunate.
To the woman with the limited in
come il is most essential to know
what not to buy, and IL she does not
know she should learn at once.
The first thing before starting on a
shopping expedition it to know just
exactly what you want and make
notes. for in going from one store to
another and looking about one is like
ly to forget. If she can afford to have
one good gown it should by all means
a dollar yard. would be the most
desirable material; for this. as it
wears well, can be worn on all occa-
sions.
1t should be made up all in black.
with lace trimming, so that at any
time. with a touch here and there of
ribbon or a sailor collar of cream lace,
the gown will look entirely different.
The woman who can sew is more for
tunate than her sister who cannot,
for she can make her own gown, and
with the money she would be obliged
to pay the dressmaker can buy her
self another gown, say of white dotted
swiss, and make it up daintily, trim
ming it with black insertion.
Four shirtwaists should figure in
her seasons outfit, and if by making
them herself she can increase the num-
ber to six, all the better. The lighter
fabrics trimmed with laces or embroid-
cries are the most comfortable shirt
waists, although the mannish effect
looks very smart.
A woman must have at least two
hats. one for ordinary wear and one
for dress occasions.
A black lace hat trimmed with
black silk and velvet flowers and two
or three buckles will answer for dress
occasions, and for shirtwaist wear
ribbon and quilts, may be worn. And
to change the appearance of the hat a
chiffon veil can be draped on it.
In buying a chiffon veil It is always
better to buy the best, for the cheaper
qualities are very perishable. Under
wear can be had for a dollar a gar
ment and even less, and If one pre-
fers a silk undervest there are those
of silk and Isle at S5 cents each.
In buying gloves 1t is always well to
select some standard make, as they
are cheaper in the long run. There
are good standard gloves at $l.5O a
pair.-New York Journal.

There are good many things that
make the bath a luxury" at small
cost, IL one only knows what they are.
A little borax softens the water and
makes 1t velvety. A little ammonia
removes all odor of perspiration. A
handful of sea salt makes the water
rather harsh, but is most invigorating.
Bath bags are too cheap TO mention,
If they are home made. A yard OF
fine cut cheese-cloth will make half a
dozen or more. They should be filled
with bran, powdered orris root and a
few shavings of CASTLE soap. They
soften. soap and perfume the water,
and, used as a wash clotn. leave de-
llcious sensation. All soap should be
carefully rinsed from the body, espe-
cially the face, at the end Of the bath.
II then the face is rubbed all over
with the upward, rotary massage mo
ton. with fingers dipped in cold cream,
and then wiped with soft. fine cloth,
1t will leave the skin much improved.

The Appendix-Whnt 1t Il.

People as a rule know nothing re-
garding the appendix. They talk about
appendicitis, but the organ afflicted is
to them profound mystery. Let me
endeavor to make plain the nature Of
this curious vestige in human ana
tomical history. The digestive system
Of man, and that Of all other animals,
Is a canal or tube whereof the stomach
is simply a dilated part. Now, be-
tine (or boweD, which in man aver
ages 26 feet in length. It Is
divided into the small intestine, meas
uring about 20 feet, and into the
large intestine, which makes up about
six feet of the total length. Where
the small intestine-which is the part
that Immediately succeeds the stom-
ach-joins the large we find the cae-
cum. This, as its name indicates, is a
cul de sac, kind of blind alley lying
below the point OF junction. Attached
to the caecum we find the appendix, a
little tube-like vestige. averaging about
three inches in length, and of the di-
ameter of goose quill. II the caecum
is blind alley the appendix is a kind
of trap. lying as 1t does to the back
Of the caecum. When indigestible
things find their way into the appen-
dix-cherry stones, grape seeds and
and even the hairs of tooth-brushes--
they cause irritation. and when this
irritation goes the length Of infamma-
tion we get the ailment known as ZAP
pendicitis." The removal OF the ap-
pendicitis is an operation Of modern
surgery which. under ordinary condi-
tions. Is both safe and successful

Professor Karl Pearson, F. r. s.,

interested audience at the Royal In
stitution some of the results, says the
London Telegraph. Two of these are

phalic index and health on the one
hand; and on the other testing them
for intelligence, vivacity, conscienti-
business, popularity, temper, self-con-
scientiousness, shyness and handwrit-

two categories came numerically as
close as 521 to522. Secondly, 1t is prov
