Refreshing Baths,

A bath Of limewater Is very soothing
to overexcited nerves. Some people
mix almond paste with their bath; 9TH
ers prefer tincture Of benzoin.
Nothing is better for the skin than q
bran bath. Put two pounds of bran in
a muslin bag and let 1t soak in a small
quantity Of water for three hours, then
add 1t to the bath.
For tonic and refreshing effect upon
the skin dissolve in the bath half q
pound of crystals of carbonate of soda,
two handfuls Of powdered starch and
a teaspoonful of essence of rosemary.
An ammonia bath Is excellent when
the system Is much exhausted and
makes the flesh firm and smooth and
purifies the skin.
Those who suffer from rheumatism
will find relief by adding to the bath
100 grams of soft soap and 100 grams
Of essence Of turpentine, shaken to-
gether until the mixture is a lather.
The bather should remain in the bath
for fifteen minutes and then get in
stantly into bed.

CAM BRIG TEA.

II Was 'Upsetty," and Gertrude
Thought One Cup Was Enough.
They were sitting at the luncheon ia
BILE, mamma, Gertrude and brother.
Brother was banging on the table with
a spoon, for, as Gertrude said, "Hls
manners haven't come yet" The little
girl sat looking at the big piece Of
bread and sugar on her plate. She was
very fond of bread and sugar.
whats the matter with my little
glrlT asked mamma. cant you eat
your lunch, dearT
Gertrude looked up from her brown
study. "rve been thinkin," she ex.
planned. Yesterday was my 5-year-
old birthday, mamma, an once you said
when I got, oh, so very old, might
have a cup Of tea, an now don't you
think are old enough" And a tiny
wrinkle came into her forehead. Nam.
ma smiled. Eyes, dear, do think 30.
will give you a cup Of really cambria
tea"
Gertrude clapped her hands and
watched eagerly as mamma poured out
the tea and fixed 1t for her. She held
out her hands for the cup and set 1t
down carefully by her plate. Really,
truly Cambridge tea, BROTHER" she said
as she saw brother watching her. She
took sip and smiled at mamma. 1t
was just like grown up folks.
"Your tea Is very quite we'll cooked,
Mrs. Mamma" she said graciously as
she stirred it. Then she turned to her
bread and sugar again.
Now was brothers chance. His little
hands grasped the pretty china cup
and raised it high in the air, trying to
put 1t to his mouth. He wanted to
taste the lovely cambria tea.
Gertrude turned around quickly. ooh,
my tear she cried. Mamma shook her
head hard and put her finger to her
lips. Then, reaching over to the baby,
she touched his arm, saying gently,
Brother, give mamma the cup" Broth.
er at once turned it upside down.
A splash of hot tea, piercing scream,
and the cup fell to the floor. Brother
was more frightened than hurt, but
his dress was soaked, and mamma car
ried him up stairs to nursie, where his
woe was soon comforted.
Gertrude picked up the cup, which
had not even crack on it's pink sur
face. She brought cloth and was try
Ing to mop up the floor when mamma
returned. Things were soon straighten-
ed, and mamma asked whether Ger
trude would have some more tea.
mo, I thank you, Mrs. Mamma"
said the little girl. "Your cambridge
tea is upsetty, so I'll have some muslin
milk now, if you please, 'um."-Lys

BRAIN-EOOD NONsENsE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food Is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, Its nutriment Is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d..
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buovant and vigorous. You can get

Agriculture: Brevities.

1t is stated that: there is a stage in
harvesting Kentucky blue grass seed
when heating takes place in the tops
of the grass piled in windows, which
tends to destroy the termination of the
seed.
Apparently the American strain of
clover seed is better adapted than the
European to the conditions of bright
sunshine. periodic heat and dryness
that exist here.
Our animals are said to be the health
lest in the world. and the people at
home and abroad are protected by the
inspection of meats in fifty-one cities
and 1856 abattoirs.
Every farm should have its flock of
sheep. The high, rough land can be

A CUE FOR THE HOSTESS.
bright Conversation Waits on Both
Appetite and DIgestion.


Appetite and Digestion.
Nothing is more depressing than to
sit at a table where the hostess main-
tains habitual silence.
A young lady being compelled to go
to a town some distance from her
home took pains to engage board in
private family, and one of reputed re-
finement, thinking to find this more
homelike and cheering than life in a
boarding house.
Not many months elapsed before she
became victim to dyspepsia in one of
its most painful forms. Being a teach
er, her friends cried, "Overwork!" But
the young lady herself told her physi-
clan that she believed the course Who'll
ly due to eating her meals In silence
"Why do you, then, not break the ST.
lence?" inquired the physician.
Break it" she cried. at is adaman-
tine! l have tried my best to start
conversation, but any subject 1 may
suggest falls like clod. l have even
tried to joke, but beyond an occasional
ghost Of a smile l must do all the
laughing myself. Mrs. A. sits stately
and frigid throughout the meal, rarely
speaking beyond necessity. l have
given up and now Just sit and swallow
my food feeling like one in a night
mare all the while.
"She kills all the life and spontanei-
ty out Of every one at the table with
her chilly manner, and we all eat in
silence, but for the subdued clatter Of
our knives and forks, as If eating were
the only thing in life"
Change your boarding place at
once" said the doctor. mo medicine
can help you where you are"
The young lady followed his advice
and needed no drugs.
No woman sitting at the head Of a
table has right to be so absorbed in
her own thoughts and interests that
she will neglect her duty to make the
mealtime time of good cheer for one
and all so far as 1t lies within her
power to do so.
Her remarks need not necessarily be
witty or wise, but she can at least
show kindly interest in all who sit
at her table and desire to make life
pleasant for them, concludes Table
Talk.

present themselves day by day-a book
that will quickly decide all arguments
on all subjects? The 1902 World AL.

FARM AND GARDEN.
HANDLING BEEF AND PORK.
When Freezing Is InIurious-Getting

When Freezing Is InJurious-Getting
the Animal Heat Out of the Meat.
When the night following the killing
is warm, the hind quarters. of beeves
are sometimes split open to allow them
to cool more rapidly. Temperatures
above so degrees, with moist air, dam
age fresh meats very quickly. Meat,
and particularly pork, that has been
frozen and afterward thawed does not
keep as well as that which has been
simply chilled. Pork intended for cur
ing should never be frozen
Meat hung up in the open air until
the animal heat has passed off is said
to keep better than that placed in cold
storage Immediately after being killed,
and it Is better to follow this method
II practicable even where cold storage
is available. After the animal heat is
all out the meat should be put into
coolers at Il temperature of so degrees
and the temperature gradually lowered
for forty-cight hours until it reaches
30 degrees and then raised slowly to
IS degrees.
The principal injury to beef products
is stated to occur from sending it from
the slaughter house to the chillroom
before the animal heat has entirely left
the carcass This closes the pores,
and the meat retains heat and turns
sour. From SO degrees to ~ degrees Is
the best temperature for storage rooms
FOR dressed meats.

This method was slipshod. The cost OF

NEED OF GOOD ROADS.
They Cost Money, but In the End
Are Cheaper Than Poor Ones.

They Cost Money, but In the End
Are Cheaper Than Poor Ones.
The greatest need Of the country Is
good roads. TO have good roads we
must have a good road law, says Tex
as Farm and Ranch. To have good
road law the people who use roads
must be made to comprehend their val
ue. Then they will demand of state
and county legislators to proceed to
solve the problem.
Good roads cost money, and myopic
taxpayers have objected to any prac-
teal system on that account, whereas
bad roads cost great deal more than
telford or macadam. There is no lack
of facts and figures to prove this state
ment true. Railroads, telegraphs and
telephones are great modern agencies
of civilization, and If there is an ex-
ception to the rule that civilization
follows these institutions we have fail
ed to find it or hear of it. But bad
country roads greatly retard the civ
ilizing process, besides levying the
heaviest tax known to civilization.
Rural mail delivery Is largely de-
pendent upon the character of our
roads. and would be well nigh imprac-
ticable on the muddy lanes of the
Texas black waxy section in wet
weather. Therefore. to enjoy the bene-
fits Of daily mail, our people must go
to work Systematically to make better
roads. What matters 1t II a road costs
So, 900, $4,000 or even $4,000 per mile
~. after 1t is made. every person who
nses 1t will feel glad that the e1pendi-
ture was made?

so changed that the resources avail
able, which are very considerable, shall
be applied under state direction.
At present each property owner is re-
Quired to pay his share Of the amount
voted for roads, but is at liberty to
work out the tax at the rate of one
days labor for each dollar due by him.
The work, whether voluntary or hired,
Is done when and where the path mas
ter and the highway commissioner may
direct. The change urged is that all
payment of road taxes in labor shall
be done away with, that all taxes shall
be paid in money and that the money
shall be expended under the direction
of the skilled and trained officials Of
the state.
There can be no doubt that this ar
rangement would secure very much
better return for the money of the va
rious towns than is got at present. No
one need be great traveller in the in
terror of our state to know that the
general condition Of the roads Is bad
and that the badness Is tremendously
costly. 1t is quite common to see a
fairly good road passing from the area
of one town become a wretched road
In the next. and the proportion of the
latter Is many times greater than that
of the former
AS rule the actual cost of the de-
cent roads is not appreciably larger
than that of the bad ones. The mon-
ey Is used in one case and wasted in
the other The plan suggested would
not Increase, as we understand it, the
amount collected for roads. 1t would
simply secure an immensely better re-
turn for it. And this return would be
In the definite shape of economy and
profit for the residents of the towns
as well as for the community general
IL.
1t has been estimated that improve
ment in roads steadily used, which
should save only 10 per cent of the
wear and tear Of horses and wagons
and of the time of men employed,
would save to the average farmer from
500 to 500 year. 1t is not at all I'M
reasonable to infer that the plan pro-
posed would effect such an improve
ment AS it would not cost the cOun-
try residents cent more in expendi-
ture, it ought to be popular If it is
once understood.

ORCHARD EXPt RIENCE.
Picking Apples From "a Wagon and
without Ladders.

Picking Apples From Wagon and
without Lndders.
Having no good help to pick apples
and none large enough to move the
ladder. l tried Il new plan last fall,
says an American Agriculturist corre-
spondent. I put the sixteen foot corn
rack on Il high wagon, covered it with
bushel crates and drove TO the orchard.
On going TO tree we picked what we
could reach handily when standing on
the ground. This allowed the team to
pass under the outer end of the limbs.
When the wagon was where we could
reach the apples when standing on the
wagon, | stopped the team and when
the apples were picked drove on a little
or until all three could pick. BY hav-
Ing the rack high so the wheels could
craInp short, il would swing the hind
end of the wagon quite far under the
tree, and in that way we could reach
nearly all the apples. Sometimes one
would step up into the tree When the
baskets were fun, we emptied in the
crates on wagon right at our feet. We
did not have to travel to - pile and
could pick all the tune. Three men can
work to advantage on u sixteen foot
rack and can pick about as many ap-
pies as five men using ladders.
