SuEgesttoDa.

A writer in one of the magazines ar
CUES we'll for the stimulating effects
of pretty toilets. Her instructions are:
When in pain but able to be up, do not
go around the house in your oldest
wrapper with your hair down, but on
the contrary put on pretty gown and
.ook as cheerful as possible on the out
side.
Strawberry juice was an innocent
cosmetic which our frivolous grand
mothers used to employ. To clear
their compilations they used to rub 1t
into the skin at night and wash it off
in the morning, continuing the treat
ment for about two weeks, which was
the limit of strawberry time in those
days. 1t was also used to whiten the
teeth.
An old-time recipe for restoring
Grape is as follows: Heat half a pint
of skim milk and water and dissolve
in 1t a square inch of glue, then re-
move the mixture from the fire. Rinse
the Grape in vinegar to clear It, then
20 stiffen it put it in the glue and milk;
wiring it out and slap it until dry. Lay
u
with a hot iron.
To soften hard water there are sew
eral methods. One may use little
quicklime q ounces to 20 to rs gal
lons) allowing the water thus treated
to stand over night before using. The
lime unites with the carbonates and
the salts which cause the hardness"
are precipitated. Wood ashes or bar
rel of good I've will soften barrel of
water in one night. Ammonia will
also soften water but is too expensive
to use in large quantities. Two ounces
of sal soda should soften three-fourths
of a boiler of water. A box of con-
centrated I've may be dissolved in a
quart of water and bottled. One tea
spoonful of this will soften half a
boilerful of water. Borax will soften
cistern water that has become hard
eneS by long standing.

says Golden Days." is the only accu-
rate system, with is in use in all the
recruiting offices of the United States
Army:
strip to the waist Hold your arms
above your head. the tips of the fingers
touching. Have the measurer put
tape round your chest under the arm
pits.
Inhale and eXhale naturally. Let
your arms fall easily by your side. the
tape will slip down to the maximum
girth of the chest This is the mean
chest Exhale all you can, still keep
ing your arms by your side. This fs
the minimum chest. Inhale and initiate
all you can, in the same position. This
is the maximum chest.
The difference between the minimum
and maximum chests is called the mo-
bility. A mobility of over three inches
in a man of medium height is consid-
cred good, below two and one-ha]f
inches it is poor.
Artificial movements of the arms or
muscles interfere with proper meas
urements.
Having made the above measure
ments, record them in your diary, and
then repeat the measurements on the
first day of each month, for one year.
By that means you may keep an accu-
rate and instructive record of your
muscular progress.

There is New York physician, says
the New York Tribune. who takes an
active interest in politics and is popu-
lar with the boys" In spite of his
jolly disposition he is an extremely
thin man, SO thin that many a joke liz
aimed at him. Here is the latest story
they are telling about him:
A grocer's boy entered the doctors
Office the other day with basket of
fine fruit which some grateful patient
had sent to him. The doctor told the
boy to place the basket In q cabinet
which stood against the wall. At the
same instant he stepped out of the
room, and, going into an adjoining
one, manipulated a continuance which
caused an articulated skeleton within
the cabinet to waggle its head and
limbs in an appalling manner just as
the messenger boy opened the door.
With a yell of horror the boy fed.
When the doctor had enjoyed hearty
laugh, he picked up a fine apple and
followed the boy into the street to give
it to him. Come here, my boy" he
shouted, Here is a fine apple for
you!"
Not on your life!" replied the af-
frightened youngster, taking to his
neels again. You cant fool me with
your clothes on"

Hush. my dear. lie still and slumber;
Holy angels guard thy bed;
Heavenly blessings without number, ~
Gently falling on thy head.
Sleep, my babe. thy food and raiment,

All without thy care, or payment

And his softest bed was hay.
Blessed babe. what glorious features
Spotless, fair, divinely bright!
Must he dwell with brutal creatures?
How could angels bear the sight?
Was there nothing but manager,
Cursed sinner could afford
To receive the heavenly stranger?
Did they thus affront the Lord?
Soft. my child. did not chide thee,
Though my song might sound too hard
It's thy mother sits beside thee,
And her arms shall be thy guard.
Yet to read the shameful story.
How the Jews abused their King
How they served the Lord of glory.
Makes me angry while ! sing.
See the kinder shepherds round him.
Telling wonders from the sky
Where they sought him, there they found
him,
With his virgin mother by.
See the lovely babe ADDRESSING:
Lovely infant, how he smiled.
When he ~ept, the mothers blessing
Soothed and hushed the holy child.

Where the horned oxen fed.

There's no oxen near thy bed.

Those who are contemplating invest,
ing in cats might study this to adj
vantage.
A good cat-the kind you want to
have around the house-will have a
round, stubby, pug nose, fat cheeks
and full upper lip, and a well-devel
opeS bump on top of the head and be-
tween the ears, betokening good ma
ture. A sleepy cat. one that purrs a
good deal is apt to be playful and
good-natured.
Avoid a cat with thin, sharp nose and
twitching ears.
A great mistake is in overlooking
domestic cats with too much meat If
they are over-fed they will become
lazy, and will not catch mice. Over
feeding also leads to stomach troubles
and fits"

Does Two-Year-Old Baby Pay.

Does a two-year-old baby pay for it
self up to the time it reaches that in
teresting age? Sometimes l think
not. l thought so yesterday when my
own baby slipped into my study and
scrubbed" the carpet and his best
white dress with my bottle of ink,
says j. d. H.. in the Detroit Free
Press. He was playing in the coal
hod ten minutes after clean dress
was put on him, and later in the day
stamps on the parlor wall and poured
a dollars worth of choicest White
Rose" perfumery out of the window
Ito see it VAIN
Then he dug out the center of a
nicely baked loaf of cake. and was
found in the middle of the dining-room
table with the sugar BOWL between his
legs and most Of the contents in his
stomach.
He has already cost over 800 in
doctors bills, and I feel that l am
right in attributing my few gray hairs
to the misery 1 endured walking the
floor with him at night during the
first year OF his life.
What has he ever done to pay me
for that?
All! l hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hall. l hear his lit
tie ripple of laughter because he has
escaped from his mother and has found
his way up to my study at forbidden
hour. But the door is closed. The
worthless little vagabon can't get
in, and l won't open it for him. No,
l won't I can't be disturbed when I'm
writing. He can just cry if he wants
to. l won't be bothered for-"rat, tat,
tat" go his dimpled knuckles on the
door. l sit in silence.
Rat, tat, tat
! sit perfectly still.
Papa"
No reply.
'Peeze, papa"
Grim silence.
Baby tum in-peeze. papa
He shall not come in.
My papa
/ write on.
Papa" says the little voice; Il hub
my papa. Peeze let baby I'M"
am not quite a brute. and ! throw
open the door. In he comes with out
stretched little arms, with shining
eyes, with laughing face. I catch him
up into my arms. and his warm, soft
little arms 60 around my neck, the
not very clean little cheek is laid
close to mine. the baby choice says
sweetly:
II Tub my papa
Does he pay?
Well. l guess he does, He has cost
me many anxious days and nights. He
has cost me time and money and care
and Self-sacrifice. He may cost me
pain and sorrow. He has cost much.
But he has paid for it all again and
again in whispering those three lit
tie words into my ears: Il Tub papa"
Our children pay when their very
first feeble little cries fill our hearts
with the mother love and the father
love that ought never to fail among
all earthly passions.
Do our children pay?

The prospect of a return of perma-
nently peaceful conditions in the Phil
ippines and the present existence OF
conditions in Porto Rico and Hawaii
favorable to American producing and
commercial enterprises lends addition
al interest to some figures just COM
piled by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics regarVang the coffee consump-
ton of the United States and of the
world. The people of the United
States are sending out of the country
more than a million dollars a week in
payment tor coffee consumed in this
country, all of which could be readily
produced in Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippine Islands, which have al
ready shown their ability to produce
coffee of a high grade commanding
high prices in the markets of the
world. Porto Rican coffee has long
been looked upon as of high grade, and
for many years has commanded high
prices in the markets of Europe; and
the developments of coffee culture in
Hawaii during the past few years have
also been very satisfactory in the quail
ity of coffee produced and the prices
realized. In the Philippines the prod
uct is of high grade and the fact that
in physical conditions and climate the
islands are very similar to those OF
Java, the greatest coffee-producing
islands of the world suggests great
possibilities to those who desire to See
American money expended under the
American flag. The fact that the
United States is by far the greatest
coffee-consuming country of the world
ana is steadily increasing her con-
sumption further suggests that Ameri-
can capital and energy may turn their
attention to this promising field now
opened in the islands where American
enterprise can safely enter upon bust
ness undertakings. Our coffee impor-
tations during the nine months ending
with March 1901, amounted to 617 ,344.-
900 pounds, with a value Of $45,21S, 900,
sum nearly $4,000, 900 in excess Of the
value Of the coffee imports of the same
months of the preceding fiscal year.
indicating that for the full fiscal year
the total value of the coffee imported
into the United States will be about
$50 100000. Even this is somewhat be-
low the annual average cost of coffee
imported during the decade just ended.
the reduction in total value being due
to the fall of about one-half in the i'm.
port price.

Floral Notes.

Commercial florists are interested in
a fungus that is said to prey upon
cGrnation rust. 1t appears to be case
of employing a thief to catch a thief
and the benefit to the carnation is yet
to be determined.
When cuttings are to be potted or
potted plants shifted, the pots should
be dipped in water until they have
taken up all they will absorb. Pots
one and one-half to two inches in di-
ameter are usually chosen for rooted
cuttings. A good mixed soil for potted
plants consists of decayed pasture sod.
sand, leaf mold and decomposed ma
nure. The prime necessity is to secure
a soil that will not harden when it
dries out. When the potting takes
place the soil should be slightly moist
and should be well packed around the
roots. Drainage is very essential and
is provided for by filling the pot one
third full of bits of broken pottery. If
sphagnum moss is placed above the
broken pieces, dirt will be less apt to
wash out.
