A Yellow Dining Room.

Yellow is such pretty color for a

low, with little sprig flower in it, and
very simple yellow silkoline curtains
hung in straight folds at the windows.
In the four corners of the room were
built little sets of shelves made of or
binary yellow pine wood placed diago-
nally, which held the fancy china Sew
eral splashy primrose water colors

of CHEEKY narcissuses and another OF
chrysanthemums was placed in the win

the joyous scheme of color, were a pos

A Lovable old woman.

You sometimes see woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. You wonder
how this has come about; you wonder
how it is her life has been long and
happy one. Here are some of the rea-
sons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things
She kept her nerves well in hand and
inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from her
friends.
She made whatever work came to her
congenial.
She retained her illusions and did not
believe all the world wicked and I'M
kind
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words and
a smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures TO the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is halo of white
hair about her head she is loved and
considered. This is the secret of a long
life and happy one.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

Ordinary sticking plaster makes a
good remedy for corns, as IL keeps
them soft and prevents the rubbing.
A little pinch of powdered sulphur
put in n straw or glass tube and blown
into the throat is a great help in cases
of Group.
After making a linseed poultice
spread it on muslin and smear it over
with knife dipped in boiling water,
to prevent its sticking to the skin.
Salt water used as gargle and
mouth wash will strengthen the throat
and harden the gums. 1t is also an ex-
cellent tonic for the hair as well as
weak eyes.
1t is good thing to know that If one
suffers from tender gums and sensitive
teeth teaspoonful of cooking soda in
hot water will bring instant relief.
This is excellent for toothache too.
For an ordinary sore throat the out
side of the throat may be rubbed at
night with wet salt and the neck then
bound with narrow strip of flannel.
Rubbing with camphorated oil is often
beneficial in incipient sore threats.

Wholesome niscinIine

Don't try to make life too easy for the
children. True, they will have lots Of
troubles in later life, but the childish
ups and downs are very good prepa-
ration for the struggle that awaits each
one at ''grownupdom." An undisci-
plined child grows into an undisciplin-
ed man or woman, nuisance to him
self and to every one else.
There is theory now that children
should not be made to get sums right;
that all lessons should be play lessons.
Make the lessons bright and attrac-
tive by all means. They can't be too
much so. But do let lessons be lessons
and play be play. Give lots of encour-
agement and every help, but let the
child realize that if a thing is worth
doing at all it is worth doing well and
that doing well always means taking
infinite pains.

CULINARY CONCEPTS.

Instead of raisins in cakes and pud.
Lings try dates
Cold fried and scrambled eggs, if
chopped and mixed with mincemeat,
will improve the latter.
In roasting a turkey haste frequent
", but don't stick fork into the fleshy
2art of the fowl and thus let the pris-
oned juices escape.
To obtain a few drops of onion juice
take slice of the onion and scrape the
cut surface with sharp knife over the
dish you wish to flavor.
To make soups and gravies richer and
better first place the meat and vegeta-
bles in a saucepan, with little butter,
and cook slowly half hour before add
ing the water
A layer of sliced onions placed on the
top of Il roast Of beef and allowed to
cook there will give delicious flavor
to the meat, while their distinctive fla
vor will not be noticeable.
In making pastry have the edges
quite untouched. Do not even smooth
them with your finger 1t is the air in
the paste that causes the flakes; there
fore do not press it out. This is the
rule in all kinds of pastry.

Bateman smiled to himself as he saw
Hinkley strding angrily up and down
the course. His comnanion was not
noted for an angelic temper, and the
nonappearalce of the caddie, whom
the keeper Lad promised to send them
by o'cloci, evidently rritated him.
He particularly wanted to get in a good
afternoons practice at driving, his
weak point for he had an appointment
at the Inns the next morning with
Miss Van Trees, and he wished to
make the lest possible appearance. To
use slarg expression, Hinkley had
designs" on the young lady.
The precious winter, when he had
been trying to repair sadly depleted
fortune atMonte Carlo, with the usual
result, he had met Mrs. Van Trees and
daughter, who were passing through
Monaco. During their short stay in
the little lrincipality he had been de-
voted atteldant, and when they left
few days later he prided himself that
he had made decided impression.
He had been very busy trying to
straightel out his financial difficulties
soon aftG that and had gradually for
gotten MI about the young lady, till
this summer he found she was staying
at the SINE watering place, when he
had Immediately presented himself.
1t is not to be imagined that he was
in love with Miss Van Trees, as, in
fact. he lad just been telling Bateman,
who attempted to rally him on his
melancholia, attributing it to lovesick-
ness. No, indeed. it was no question
of sentiment. Personally he consider
ed Marca Van Trees rather dull and
unintereSting. Perhaps the fact that
Pater Van Trees owned controlling in
terest in the Little Annie gold mine in
Arizona, which was paying semian-
nual dividends of 9 per cent, had some
thing to do with his devotion.
Morally Hinkley was about as fit for
young girl to honor and obey as the
snakes in the grass; but as he was re-
markably good looking, dressed in the
perfection of taste and was something
of Il conversationalist. he trusted that
with enough time he would easily be
able to add one more victim to his long
string of conquests.
Just as they were about to start around
the links alone Il round. freckled faced
boy slowly made his appearance over
the brow of the hill
"Where in hades have you been since
3 o'clock?' exclaimed Hinkley, snap
ping his watch together viciously
We've been waiting for you nearly an
hour"
He of the freckled face smiled slowly
and expansively, as if enjoying some
joke from which the other two were
excluded. He seemed about to make
some excuses, then apparently changed
his mind.
Sorry to have kept you gents wait

young lady. Profit by it and plan in

That night at the dance given at The
Breakwater. Hinkley met Miss Van
Trees dressed in such bewitching style
that for the first time in his life he ac-
tually admired her. Great was his sur
prise, however. to be treated with the
most chilling frigidity. Her card was
full, she said, and she even went so far
as to cancel the engagement for golf
next day.
Completely mystified and in 20 pleas
ant frame of mind. Hinkley sought the
broad veranda and remained there the
rest of the evening with some of the
men.
About 10 o'clock as he happened to
glance up he saw standing in the hotel
doorway Miss Van Trees, while by her
side and playfully tickling her neck
with fan was-no; it could not be!
He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

with hair plastered smartly down over
his forehead, was his freekled, round

suffered "W-w-h o-the-d-devil

"Oh, that" replied the man careless

the doorway-"that is Miss Van Trees

4 Girls Idea of Boys.

Boys are men that have got as big as
their papas, and girls are women that
will be young ladies by and by. Men
were made before women. When God
looked at Adam, he said to himself,
well, | think l can do better if | try
again" and then he made Eve. God
liked Eve so much better than Adam
that there have been more women than
men ever since. Boys are a trouble
They wear out everything but soap. If
l had my way, half of the boys in the
world would be girls and the rest would
be dolls.-Young Peoples Paper.

A stitch In Time.

Linen should be carefully inspected
from time to time before being sent to
the laundry, and after a piece is re-
paired it should be carefully washed
and ironed and laid aside until all the
contents of the linen closet have been
successfully scrutinized, used again
and Numbered. A break in linen is al
most doubled in size and is rendered
much more difficult TO mend neatly If
the article is first washed and wrung,
then dried in a windy place and, lastly,
starched and ironed.

from the grass. He stood at respectful
attention.
1t was bad day for Hinkley all
around. At the third stroke he broke
his driver short off just above the wind
ing, and when he heard the youth be-
hind him chuckling he lost his temper
completely and, turning, cuffed the lad
soundly.

stickbearer to himself as two great
tears forced themselves from his blue
eyes and ran down his sunburned
cheeks, 'I'll cook you for this.'

leaving us if you don't stop monkeying

And, indeed, he was too valuable a
caddie to lose. He found every ball
that they lost and was always on hand
with the right clubs. but he showed
most unbecoming interest in the CONVEX
sation of Hinkley.
Bateman called the attention of his
friend to this fact later in the after
noon and advised him to be more care
full what he said before the boy. Hink-
ley had just finished another emphatic

character may be redeemed by knot
of black velvet. A dress of pale pink

especially striking, may be touched up

take to add too much black. That will

An old wood or marble mantel can
be made quite decorative by placing
bookshelves underneath. If they occu-

the books. If they occupy the space Of

that they are wanting in the moral

cruel and selfish, to get into rage and
