The Value of Lemons.

Most people know that for cleaning
brass trays, ornaments, etc, nothing
is better than lemon juice; but this is
only one of the many ways in which
this fruit may be used.
Half teaspoonful of juice squeezed
into a glass of lukewarm water. with
which you wash your teeth, gives a de-
hghtful feeling of cleanliness to the
mouth. Rinse it afterwards with
water.
Any peel not needed for immediate
use should be slowly dried in the oven
and stored in a tin for f1avoring. A lit
tie of this dried peel cooked in an ap-
pie pie, or with apple sauce, gives the
fruit delicious flavor
Just a squeeze of lemon juice added
to sauces, soups, gravies, or stews
after cooking, brings out the favor
wonderfully, and is a great improve
ment..
For cough a baked lemon is an ex-
cellent remedy. Put it into q. moderate
oven and let it remain till soft. Mix
together an equal quantity of honey
and the juice of the baked lemon and
take teaspoonful, which should be
warm, when the cough is troublesome.
If you want your hair to look soft
anu glossy after Washing, use lemon
instead of soap. You may either rub
the lemon itself on the head or squeeze
the juice from it. First damp the
head all over with warm water, then
rub the lemon well into the roots of
the hair. and rinse in several lots of
warm water. Boil pint of bran in a
gallon of water for the actual wash
ing, strain, and add a little borax in
the rinSinP water
A lemon bath is a luxury. For this
two or three lemons are sliced into, the
bath water half an hour before it is
required. The sense of freshness and
it gives and the suppleness
and smoothness it imparts to the skin
are things not soon to be forgotten.
Lemons rubbed on the hands remove
stains, and help to keep them soft and
white. 1t is good for the face, too. if
mixed with an equal quantity of rose
or elder flower water.

Asking Questions.

A boy or girl who does not keep
somebody busy answering questions
will never know much, and will be of
but little worth to the world. A writer
in the New York Observer has well
said: There is a strange marking on
the forehead of every boy, which none
of the psychologists note, and which is
invisible to all eyes but those of the
most discerning-and that is a quesa
ton mark
The disposition of every wide awake
boy and girl to ask questions is givNn
by the Creator; and, this being true,
how patient should those of us who
are older be with the little ones when
they, in their ignorance and simplicity,
ask what many call 80 many foolish
questions" This very spirit of inquiry
in the child is a great power whereby
he obtains his knowledge of good and
evil" If those whose duty it is pa
tiently to give correct answers to the
many questions of the young, fail to
do their duty, then will there appear on
the scene many of Satans agents who
will be only too glad to give their un-
holy and vile answers to the constant
queryings of the child mind. Do not
stifle, therefore, the instinct that
prompts the young to be inquisitive,
but rather give to them such mental
and spiritual food as will prove indeed
and in truth, the bread of life"

A Germ-proof House.

A germ-proof house is the latest ad-
dition to the hygienic terrors of life.
1t is not yet actually in existence, but
medical congresses are busily and even
hopefully paving the way for its ad-
vent. When it arrives and everybody
is thoroughly scientific and uncomfort-
able all the homes will be single stor-
led, without stairs, built on gravel
soil, destitute CT cellars, with concrete
and blocks of earthenware pierced
for ventilation placed under the floor,
and the ordinary bricks will be super
seeded by glazed and tightly fitting by
gienic bricks" The roof will be tiled,
not slated, and the windows will reach
from top to bottom of the walls. The
dining table will be of polished ma
hogany, the chairs cushionless or
stuffed with medicated wool. The
walls ought to be made of q cement
that takes high polish, can be stained
to any color and washed frequently.
Curtains and draperies of all kinds will
be abolished; pictures will be permit
ted only when let into the cement wall;
for artistic touches we shall be depend
ing on plants of the india-rubber and
eucalyptus type" In no room will
there be corners to harbor dust and
bacteria, and the skirting will always
curve into the hardwood parquet doors
instead of striking them at right an
giles

"a Poor Old Maid.v

What sense there is in calling an
unmarried woman above thirty a poor
old maid" we never could understand.
And yet people who ought to know
better so speak of her.
Why, an old maid is the most indie
pendent person on the footstool. The
common run Of events which we c;
troubles never come near her. She
stands on sort of eminence among
married women and looks on calmly
while they bring their children through
teething, and mumps, and measles, and
chicken-pox and Group, and she never
realizes how significant goose grease
and catnip tea and syrup of squills
may be to them.
She can go to bed in peace at night
and not sit up watching for a delin-
quent husband to come home some
time in the small hours, and find the
keyhole of the door lost. She does not
have to keep awake to prevent any

Women Love Ugly Men.

There was, perhaps, as much truth
as Boosting in the statement of John
Wilkes, the famous London alderman
and chairman of British electors. ''Ug-
ly as 1 am, if l can have but a quarter
of an hours start, I will get the better
of any man, however good looking, in
the graces of any woman OF Wilkes
abnormal ugliness there was never any
question, for is it not recorded that the
very children in the street ran away
affrighted at the sight of him?" And
yet his powers of fascination were so
great that ladies of beauty and fash
ion WED with each other for his no
tice, while men of handsome exterior
and all courtly graces looked enviously
on.
There were, it is said, few beauties
of the day whose hand Wilkes might
not have confidently hoped to win, and
when he led Mary Mead to the altar
he made a wife of one of the richest
and most lovely women of her time.
Beauty and the Beast they call US"
Wilkes once said to his friend, Potter.
land l cannot honestly find fault with
the description
Jean Paul Marat, whose name will
always be associated with the evil his
tory of the French revolution, was mo-
toriously the uglieSt man of his day
in Paris. When this reputation reached
his ears, Ma1at is said to have re-
marked, But why limit my supre-
macy to Paris?" and, indeed, the re-
striction was much too modest. And
yet in his earlier days, when he was
the most popular of court doctors, his
very ugliness seemed to exercise such
fascination over aristoeratic ladies
that they crowded his consulting rooms
in order to catch a glimpse of and to
exchange words with him uQGer the
fiimsiest pretexts of imagiIry all
ments. ~
The studied Indifference with which
he treated alike their charms and their
flattery only made them the more in
sistent, until he declared. to a friend
that he would have to fly from Paris
to escape the persecution of his fair
admirers.
Still more remarkable was the story
told a few years ago of one of the
most beautiful of American heiresses.
who conceived romantic attachment
for one OF the freaks of a travelling
show and persisted in marrying him
in spite of all the efforts of her friends
and relations. This singular object. OF
her affections masquerade under the
title of 1.-The man-monkey, the ugliest
man in the world" and by common
consent he had an excellent claim to
the title.

vENTILATING THE SCALP

L VI
The ventilating of the scalp is some
thing that cannot be neglected. Once
week, when the hair is heated from
the head, it should be lifted and shaken
out as though it were being dried.
To ventilate the hair, take the strands
in the fingers and lift them, giving
them little shake. Lift the hair, lock
by lock, in this manner, until the air
reaches every inch of the scalp. Go
over the whole head lifting and shak-
ing and letting the air into the roots.
The massaging Of the scalp is a good
thing If little oil be used. Castor oil
is the best of all oils, but 1t is ant to
be offensive, and for this reason olive
oil or sweet almond oil can be substi-
tuted. The scalp is taken inch by inch.
and the oil is rubbed into the roots.
If the hair shows tendency to he
thin on top, a gentle pounding of the
scalp will sometimes stimulate the
roots. Part the hair, lift the hands so
that the back OF. the hand comes down
upon the scalp, and, ever so gently. go
over the whole head wherever the hair
seems to be thin.
If the little girls hair is too straight
for beauty it can be waved. but before
doing it up it should be lightly moist
ened with lukewarm water. Do NOT
W ehe Iools, ana let the halr be Slight
~ oanpened. Do not really wet il.
out moisten the palms Of the hands
ana rub them over the hair. This will
make sufficient moisture to give the
wave.
The child's hair should be done IN on
kld wrappers or on soft paper. Rags
VIII answer the purpose, but there
should be nothing done that win mil
tne hair by the roots. The wranners
should be tied some inches from fbe
mead and not screwed tightly to tha
scalp. as is too often done.
Ii Is far better for the little girls

THE WOMAN WHO STANDS AT
THE TUB.

You will read of the heroes of life
And the valorouS deeds they have done,
For the world is aflame with the light of
the name
OF the man who is back of the gun;
But give me the pen that can write
OF the soil that gives life to the rose;
Of the woman whose realm is to stand
at the helm
Though her ships but basket of
clothes:
Wash and rinse and wiring,
Soap and soak and rub:
oh. give me the words that may fittingly
sing
Of the woman who stands at the tub!
Not she who is gifted and great,
Surrounded bv honor and friends,
Has need OF my praise. for the trend of
her WAYS
Leads forward to prosperous ends;
But the one who is drifting through lie
In a bark that is meager and mean;
Who stands in the place with a smile on
her face
And is keeping her little world clean;
Toll in cold and heat.
Soap and soak and rub;
Oh. give me a tribute to lay at the feet
Of the woman who stands at the tub!

male man from going to bed with his
heels where his head ought to be.
She can get up when she feels like
1t, without having somebody yelling
out to her in the middle of the night:
Come, lazy-bones, l want my break
fast! I've got to go away early!'
Her serene atmosphere is not dis
turbed by cigar smoke. She has not
learned to shudder at the sound of the
word buttons" She has no care of old
boots and coats, to keep them out of
the parlor.
She is in no danger of being left
widow for the whole town to comment
on the length of her veil and watch her
every time she crosses a mans path
way, and tell each other she is looking
out for second husband!
The thousand and one petty cares
and worries of housekeeping she need
not be troubled with unless she chooses,
and if there is nobody to praise her,
there is certainly nobody to blame her.
