along this line, and yet It is one Of the

the addition Of the cylinder shown III
derneath the incandescent lamp. 1t
differs from usual practice in that it
has four accumulation cells in place
of two, and eight-volt lamps are used
in place Of four volt On the other
hand, the lamp is stated to furnish
three candles, as against the One-can-
die power of some other lamps. Two
of the accumulation cells are carried
in the cylinder above the lamp, and
the other two in the cylinder below
the lamp, the connecting wires being
carried in the tubes which form the
pillars between the two divisions and
which protect the glass outside the
incandescent lamp. Refectors are
used above and below the lamp, as in
the Sussmann lamp. The apparatus
is stated to have been tried in some
of the Westphalian mines and to be
only one-quarter pound heavier than
the ordinary miners lamp, while it will
burn for thirteen hours if desired, but
it is recommended to charge it after
ten hours. For charging, the wires
from the dynamo are connected to the
terminal shown projecting from the
top cylinder, which is the positive
terminal, and to the terminal shown
projecting from the bottom cylinder,
which is the negative terminal, and
which is connected to the case. The
batteries are protected by aluminium
cases.

Dom esticated Ferns.

The lover of ferns will ind it an easy
matter to domesticate many of the
most attractive varieties if he or she
will be content to take young plants.
They should be removed from their
native hauntS with a good amount Of
soil adhering to their roots. Give them,
if possible, a shady place to grow in
and make the soil as light as that in
which they originally grew. 1t is well
worth while to get a wagon load or
two of soil from the woods for the es-
peCial use of these plants. In lifting
them, wrap each one as soon as lifted
in stout paper, and set them in deep
basket applying enough water to sat
urate the soil clinging to the roots
Do not plant them in the border until
after shutdown. II the next day is
sunny, shade them well and shower
them frequently. In some instances
most Of the old fronds win die off, but
if care is taken in lifting and planting,
and the necessary amount of shade
and water is given, few of the leaves
will be lost-Eben e. Rexford in lip
pincott's Magazine.

To start Cnttlnrs .

An easy method Of starting cuttings
from our winter plants and having
them ready to grow well and rapidly
as soon as the ground is ready for
them, is to take in April a saucer
and fill with sand which is kept con-
stantly wet. In this wet sand the
cuttings are inserted and placed in the
full sunlight. This method Is nearly
always a sure one, but where there
is a special fayorlte and we wish to
feel more sure, it is a good plan to put
the cuttings into small bottles filled
with rather warm water. The bottles
should then be hung in a sunny win
dow. Tie a piece of cotton around the
mouth, which will prevent evaporation
and keep a more even temperature,
thus making the cuttings sprout sooner
When the roots are an inch long the
cuttings should be transplanted To do
this safely, fill the bottle up with nice,
rich earth Leave 1t to dry off for two
or three days, then break the glass and
the young plant can be set out without
disturbing its roots at all-Good
housekeeping.

Paid Charity WORKERS.

THE newest profession for women is
that of a charity worker" remarked a
prominent club woman. You needn't
laugh There really is such a profess
sion, and it is new, and if 1 were a
young woman 1 would enter into train
ing for it. There is not much compe-
tition as yet and the opportunities for
studying charity work are limited, but
still it is now possible
New York has established a train
ing school for charity workers, and ii
is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service at
visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phases of the leadership,
and then there are courses of subjects.
1t is quite worth entering from a fnan-
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative, and yet we
pay the young woman at the head of
cur organizing charities the salary of
$5000 and she can greatly supplement
it by lecturing and literary work upon
the subject of her profession.
"Other cities do better than this, and
the time is not far distant when all
charitable work will be conducted in
a methodical manner by an expert
who will be well paid for her ser
vices. Philadelphia Record.

In frying oysters cover them thor
oughly with bread crumbs, rolling
them first in the crumbs, then in beaten
egg mixed with milk, and again in the
crumbs Let them stand in a cold
place an hour before frying. Deep oil
is better for frying them than lard OF
butter. 1t should be at the boiling
point when they are put in. A good
test is a small piece of bread. If it
browns quickly the fat is at its right
heat. Only five or six oysters should
be dropped in the oil at one time, other
wise the fat will be cooled and they
will be grease soaked They should
be served at once, not kept hot in a
warming oven for a delinquent family.

Mrs. McKinIey's one Comfort.

"Her one comfort is in her daily visit
to the tomb of her husband She seems
to be living only in his memory and
for the purpose Of honOring him."
The words were spoken of Mrs. Nc
Kinley by an intimate friend of hers.
They tell in a nutshell the daily life
of the woman who has not recovered,
and never will recover, from the effects
of the shock by the assassins bullets
that cost the life of her illustrious hus-
band at Buffalo.
For her convenience at the vault n
rocking chair has been placed in the
house of the dead, near the Mckinley
casket. A heavy rug on the floor pro
tects her from the dampness. When
she enters the tomb she is always
clothed with heavy wraps, so as to pre-.
vent any cold from getting hold ON her
system. The guards of National sol
diers on duty have come to regard her
daily visit to the vault as sacred, and
they pay to her the most profound
sympathy and attention Philadelphia

Summer Materials.

There are beautiful organizes and
batistes, in printed figures and en-
broidered designs. Many of these, es-
pecially the batistes, are made with a
border running the length of the ma
teriai at one side, these being designed
especially for use in the three-hounce
skirts, which are to be much used this
summer. The borders often are OF
pale colors with delicate tracery of
vines running across or in festoons.
Some exquisitely sheer and fine linens
in the natural shade of fawn are
shown in the good shops, most of these
being woven with satin stripes or bro
caded effects of flowers in white.
Examines and fine albatross and veil
ing, as well as crepe de Chine, will
be the materials most in favor for sum
mer street and afternoon gowns. OF
course they will not push the useful
foulard from its place in the affections
of the women who have tested its
wearing qualities and found them most
reliable, but these plain-toned mate.
rails will be rather smarter. Much
lace and quantities of very narrow
black velvet ribbon are the two most
definite notes in the spring symphony

washing Halrbrushss Regularly


Hairbrushes should be washed once
a week, and are soon spoiled unless
properly cleansed The best way is to
put a tablespoonful of ammonia in a
quart Of water as hot as can be borne
comfortably by the hand The brush
should be freed from hairs and dipped,
bristles downward, in and out of the
water until clean. 1t should be rinsed
by dipping in cold water in the same
way Shake well, wipe the back and
handle carefully, and put on a win
dow sill to dry in the open air. The
damp if it can be avoided. Soap
should not be used for washing, as
it makes the bristles soft.

Grating Apple Trees.

Scions for grating may be cut in
fall or early winter when the branches
are not frozen, or in the spring up to
the time of settling them If the buds
are not too much swollen. We have
been told that scions on which the
buds were swollen would live if the
buds were rubbed off, so that they
would not draw the sap from the scion
faster than the stock could supply it,
but we never tested that method The
principal thing in grating is to get
scions from vigorous, healthy trees,
whose productiyeness and the quality
of fruit is known. This is of more
importance than the way the work is
done, for it is better to have a dead
scion than living one that is worth
less. For one who desires to set but
few CRAFTS it will be better TO get the
grating wax already prepared from
some reliable agricultural warehouse
or seed store, but a good wax can be
made with one pound of resin, a half
pound of beeswax and four LIQUID
ounces of linseed oil We like the
latter better than the four ounces Of
beef tallow some advise. If this wax
is kept warm and narrow strips Of
cotton cloth dipped in it. and wound
around the stock and scion after it
has been put in place the job is as
simple as putting a bandage on a cut
finger but some people cannot DO that
properly.-Amerlcan Cultlvator.

Softness and sheerness mean smart
ness in lingerie
A new underskirt consists of straps
over the hips sewed to the belt. the
actual skirt not beginning until below
the hips.
An odd fashion is to button the I'M
derskirt to the dress skirt lining just
below the hips, but this is not to be
recommended.
Circular underskirts have become
quite popular, curved in front to slip
under the corset hook and faced at
the top; no waistband.
Stitched tucks are a favorite method
of giving petticoats fulness in the
back. They are stitched for about six
or eight inches, and then the fulness
is allowed to fall
Circular lounces, tri with tiny
ruftles, is the preferred skirt foot trim
ming for silk or kindred stuffs. OF
course, wash white skirts have the
usual fulled, tucked ones of embroid
cry and lace.
Open throat nightgowns, with full
sleeves and no yoke in the back, are to
be the most worn this summer
Hand-embroidery hemstitching and
fancy stitches are now as much used
for lingerie as for dresses.
A hand-embroidered monogram is
considered the best touch of daintiness
on fine underwear.
Square collars ending in revers, both
edged in lace, are a favored neck finish
for night robes.
Owing to the perfect fit Of the corset
cover and short skirt cut in one, and
its absolute lack of fulness around the
waist and hips, it is regarded with
more favor than formerly.
The desire of every fen me heart
is an extreme bouffant f, effect as
to skirts, so the number of rufTles and
tiny ruches used ON underskirts seems
almost to defy the laundress' art
