weIl-kept Hands.

Over my sink are two bottles and a
nail cleaner One bottle contains five
parts of lemon-juice to one of alcohol,
which will keep indefinitely. The other
contains the following lotion: One
fourth of an ounce of gum tragacanth,
added to one pint of rain water which
has stood three days, then one ounce
each of alcohol, glycerine and witch
hazel, also little good faint perfume.
After washing dishes or preparing
vegetable 1 apply little of the
lemon juice, then the lotion, and in a
moment my hands are dry, soft and
very smooth. All stains deappear as
if by magic, and the nails are cleaned
easily. The time required is not over
two minutes. This process, repeated
five or six times daily, will certainly re-
pay housekeepers, for what is there
more indicative of refinement than well
kept hands? Then, too, the expense of
these lotions is comparatively nothing.
Be sure to have them in a handy
place.-August Woman's Home Com

Shoestrings in Fancy Work.

One of the latest fads in woman's
fancy work is the use of shoestrings.
They may be of cotton or silk, and the
brown or russell ones are used, as well
as the ordinary black Iaces. They are
braided, singly or in strands composed
of several strings, into basket work or
bags for shopping and other useful
articles.
Seventeen pairs of the usual length
are required to make one of these pref
ty receptacles. The lining is of silk.
satin or mercerized cotton. They are
woven or knotted like heavy fringe
over two pieces of pasteboard, which
serve to keep the shape and may be
drawn out when the bag is finished.
The ends left hanging along the lower
edge are either trimmed even and the
strings fringed out to an inch or two
of depth or the metal ends are left on
as an irregular finish.
A work basket of shoestrings is made
with cardboard foundation covered
with silk in some bright shade, then
a thick braid of many strands of shoe
strings tackled around the entire bas-
ket. Three strands of five strings each
length, then braided and the ends
Joined under a loose knot made of the

Fulfill Your Promises.

A story is told of a gentleman who
visited President Lincoln and was in
the habit of making promises more
freely than he kept them. In order to
induce one of Mr.. Lincoln's boys to
sit on his lap, the gentleman offered
to give him a charm which he wore
on his watch chain. The boy climbed
into his lap. Finally the gentleman
rose to go, when Mr.. Lincoln said to
him: Are you not going to keep
your promise to my boy?" What
promise?" asked the visitor. you
said you would give him that charm

A Remedy For Insomnia.

1t is well known physiological fact
that the eyes are turned upward dur
ing sleep. A simple way to over

comfortable position and then feeling

said to have wonderful soothing eff

perfect blank to everything. The
dreadful habit of taking drugs to in
duce sleep only makes matters worse.
A prominent physician has said that
drugs have destroyed more lives than
war, pestilence and famine combined"
Nothing could be more pernicious than
dosing the system with medicine. DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes has affirmed

the following words: 81 firmly believe

Recipe For Happiness.

Women are too prone to accept I'M
necessary evils with a ready resigna-
ton, while men have a better under
standing of the art of happiness" said
Mime. Sarah Grand in a lecture on
THE Art of Happiness" recently.
Idleness, she said, is one of the worst
enemies of happiness, and among wol
men the desire to work is not so COM
mon as to be discouraged, the inef-
fectual life of many women being one
of the saddest features of the, present
day. Nine. Grand strongly advised
parents to give their children, sons and
daughters alike, the opportunity to
follow their instructive proclivities in
the way of life work, because there is
JOY in congenial work and congenial
play. The chances for happiness, she
said, outweigh the chances of misery,
every function of mind and body in
clining toward pleasure and to the
avoidance of pain. Happiness is to be
found in the simpler modes of life, not
in excitement, which is only its imi-
tation In all recipes for happiness
goodness must be the principal in
gredient, the others which go to form
a truly happy life being fidelity in
friendship, love and marriage, affec-
ton between parents and children,
moral courage, courtesy and perfect
sincerity.

Habit of Nagging.

Disagreeable as the habit of mag
ging'' undoubtedly is, it originates in a
virtue. 1t is not the slip-shod, happy
go-lucky people that are annoyed by
the faults of others-the Sinking. the
want of consideration, the total disre-
gard of every plain duty. 1t is, on the
contrary, the painstaking, conscien-
tious souls who are sorely tried by the
negligence of others, the waste of time,
and opportunity, and substance it may
be. And then the danger of acquiring
the habit of nagging.
Nagging is fatal to happiness. 1t
destroys confidence, the basis, of all
contentment. Better that the faults of
the children should be lightly reproved
than that they should learn to do with
out their mothers sympathy and love,
which will most likely be the case if
she pursues toward them a course of
perpetual and persistent faultfinding;
better that the husbands petty failings
be passed over in silence, than that he
should learn to seek his happiness
away from his own home

A Determined Ally.

A woman stopped art a cloth counter
in one of the large department stores
recently and asked to be shown some
dress patterns suitable for early au-
tumn wear. The salesman began on
the lower row of shelved compartments
and pulled out and opened box after
box until the counter on either side of
him was piled as high as his head with
goods. Three times he climbed a lad
der to the upper rows and staggered
down under a weight of box patterns,
until. when the woman took survey
of the shelves, but two patterns re-
manned unopened. Then she said, very
sweetlV:
II don't think I'll buy any today;
I'm sorry to have troubled you; but
you see only came in to look for a
friend
mo trouble, whatever, madame" he
replied, politely; indeed, if you think
your friend is in either of the remain
ing boxes, 1 don't mind opening them,
too. ''-Philadelphia Ledger.

To Make Stockings Wear Well.

Children's stockings are an expensive
item of dress, so that any plan that
will make them wear well is welcomed
by the economical mother. 1t never
pays to buy cheap stockings. But a
good quality and mark each child's
stockings with his or her initial. These
can be purchased ready to be sewed
on. On this tag, in addition to the let
ter, mark the number one, two or three
on two stockings, so that the same two
will always make pair and will rel
ceive the same amount of wear. Then
turn the stocking wrong side out and
run the heel and toes up and down
with good darning cotton. Use a long
stitch and short one, and do not
draw them tight, as the stockings will
stretch with wear and will pull away
from the darn, causing a tear.

course, but it will cure him of the hab-
