There is nothing better for Il girl
sometimes than a little hearty praise.
Many good people conScientiously act
on the direct opposite and seem to
think nothing better than little
hearty blame. They are mistaken,
conscientious in their blame as they
may be- There are sore burdens enough
in life, bitterness and pain enough,
hard work enough and little enough
for it-enOugh to depreSs us all and
keep us humble. keen enough sense
of failure. succeed as one may. and
word of hearty communication now and
then will tighten the load and brighten
the heart and send Il woman on with
new hope and energy, and if she have
any reasonable amount of brains at all
it will do her no harm. Children are
sometimes heart starved for Il little
hearty praise Boys will act up to
the estimate put upon them. or at least
try to, if they are worth their salt.

This instrument can be made by al
most any ingenious boy. 1t consists
Of Il long, narrow box Of very thin
deal, about five or six inches deep
with circle in the middle of the up
per side an inch and half in diameter,
in which are TO be drilled small holes.
In this side seven, ten or more strings
of very fine gut are stretched over
bridges at each end, like the bridges
of fiddle, ana screwed up or relaxed
with screw pins.
The strings should all be tuned to
the same note and the instrument be
placed in some current of air. where
the wind can pass over the strings
with freedom. \ window the width
of which is equal to the length of the
harp. with the sash just raised to give
the air admission, is a proper situa-
ton. When the air blows upon the
strings of the harp with different de
greos of force. it will excite different
degrees of sound. Sometimes the
blast brings ont all the tones in full
concert and sometimes it sinks to the
softeSt murmurS.

How few women ever attain the fac
ulty of holding up the skirts on rainy
days with ease and daintincss. Al
though it is the rule to wear floUnced
understands that almost touch the
ground petticoats that reach only to
the top Of high boots have hitherto
Leen the rule. and on rainy days these
are still reverted to. When out walk
ing the clever woman arrunges her
skirt, and then. with enc hand or per-
haps two. she lightly lifts it so that it
falls evenly all round This is where
the knack comes in, says q writer in
the Louisville Post. TO hold up a
skirt on one side and let 1t sweep the
ground on the other is very natural,
but it is not good taste. and when it
falls evenly all round and the frills of
the pctticoat are almost if not quite
visible the effect is dainty in the eX-
treme. One of the things that are
taught mt a school in New York is how
to hold up the skirt gracefully.

handkerchief TricI,.

If YOU place a handkerchief in the
middle Of a flame, you naturally sup
pose that it will burn, and yet it may
be done and the linen not receive the
slightest injury from the fire surround
ing it.
The simple reason is because the
handkerchief has been carefully pre-
pared for the fiery ordeal First it is
stepped in water, next the water is
squeezed ont of it and finally it is
soaked with alcohol, In squeezing ont
the water care is taken not to exert
too great pressure the object being
to remove the water, but to keep the
handkerchief moist.

To mend iron kettles heat two parts
of sulphur until melted, add one part
blackload and stir briskly; pour out,
and when cold break into bits. Apply
to the cracks, and melt with a soldering
iron. Those that are discarded by the
timer will do very well for household
use and cost little or nothing. Litharge
mixed with glycerin to the consistency
of putty will close cracks in kettles.
Do not use after applying for twenty
four hours.

A Bad Combination.

As you value your own and your fam

The fannie acid hardens the fiber and

A Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting
