to them and screwed as well, and
the sides of the blocks coming
against the wall could be nailed to
the wall, thus forming not only sup
ports to the shelves, but keeping the
uprights in position. Settle how far
the shelves are to be apart and then
carefully measure the spaces off on
both uprights, so that when the
shelves are put in they will be hor-
hontal. The blocks in the angle of
the walls can be nailed on, having
carefully marked the width of the
spaces, so that these blocks corre-
spOnd with those against the up
rights. In mailing to a wall, it is
better to make a hole with a fine
bradawl before driving home the
nails. The sketch shows seven
shelves, as the one behind the cor
nice forms the top of the cupboard.
There need not be one at the bot
tom, the floor doing duty.
Having now the two uprights, with
the cornice, plinth and shelves ready.
proceed to put the cupboard togeth-
er, which should not be a difficult
task if the measurements are cor
rect. The cornicc and plinth should
be carefully nailed to the walls.
The projecting shelf from which
the curtain is hung is contrived by
getting out piece of wood to fit in
front of the shelf and round the two
uprights. The corners must be cut
to the angles of the wall to which
1t might be nailed. A small rod
should be fastened underneath this
projecting shelf to carry the curtain,
which takes the place of door.
1t can be weighted at the bottom
and if it runs at the back of the
plinth the dust will be kept out.
The woodwork should be painted
or stained and vanished. Those
who have not the conycnienccs for
getting out the wood should ask n
carpenter to do this. Fixing into
position would not be an arduous
task. Chicago Daily News.

THE NECK BEAUTIFUL.
How Every Woman May Present an
Appearance Pleasing to Herself
and Her Admirers.

Nothing is more aggravating to the
average woman than the black, gray
or brown streak that shows around
the neck after the wearing of high
dress collars. The mark is often the
result of bad dye in the facing of the
collar, and half an hour devoted to
facing all of ones collars with white
silk or even white cotton will be we'll
spent. Sometimes the rubbing of the
stiff band sears the neck, and scrub
bing with hard soap only makes the
skin seem more sensitive, and so still
more darkIy bruised.
Loosen the collars a little and have
them finished at the top with a soft
roll of the material. Such a finish is
always becoming, and often removes
the trouble in little while.
If the mark must be taken off at
short notice, perhaps because a dress
cut a little low in the neck is to be
worn, then anoint the flesh thorough
Iy with warm vaseline. Use a soft
linen cloth dipped in yaseline, apply
ing it as if it were soap, and turning
the cloth whenever the applied sur
face gets soiled. This is very impor-
tant, or you will only scrub the stain
in deeper.
Let the neck "rest" n little while,
and then with warm soapsuds and a
very soft sponge wash off the grease
thoroughly. Rinse with hot water
several times and then battle with
cold water till the skin is chilled This
should close the pores and leave the
skin dry and smooth. Unless this is
accomplished the open pores and
greasy surface will only promptly at
tract the stain again.
When the skin is entirely dry, dust
well with dry oatmeal. Rub off light
Iy, and when the natural color of the
skin is regained, after all the manipu-
lation, the neck will, in nine cases out
of ten, be pretty and white.
When you are not in quite so much
hurry use warm soapsuds and sponge
rubbing, rinse thoroughly and chill
with cold water. In stubborn cases
a paste of bread dough bound about
the throat over night by linen scarf
will leave the skin smooth and pure
when washed off with warm water in
the morning.
Don't employ rough methods, don't
use ammonia, and never scrub the neck
if you desire to make the skin beauti-
full and white. Whatever bruises or
enlarges the pores of the skin only
prolongs the difficulty of removing
stains.-Chicago American.

A CORNER CUPBOARD.
How Any Bright HOusekeeper Can
ImprOvise One Easily and
Very Economically.

A corner cupboard has the advan-
tage of being useful and effective
and at the same time exceedingly
economical in the matter of space
it occupies. Such a corner cupboard
as sketched would be useful in a
small fiat and it can be easily and
economically contrived. If one can
utilize the walls for the two sides of
the cupboard one saves a lot of trou-
bic. If the room is a low one then
the cupboard could extend from
floor to ceiling, but if the room is
high then the cupboard might be
from five feet six inches to six feet
from floor to top. The front should
be from 30 to 80 inches wide. Two
fiat pieces of wood, some three inch
es wide and about three-quarters Of
an inch thick, should be got out the
length of the height of the cupboard.
These pieces could be chamfered at
the edges, or a couple of grooves
taken out with a plane to add to the
appearance, or they can left just
fiat.
Now get out two further strips
about same width, but half an inch
thiclr, to go at right angles to the
uprights (see ground plan; the up
rights are a and the side pieces By;
we leave the main structural details
of our cupboard. The use of the
side pieces B is to fill out the narrow
angles made by the front pieces A
and the wall. b should be glued to
A and screws might be put through
A at top and bottom to add to the
strength. The cornice at top and
plipth at bottom are builders wide
molding and should be cut just to
occupy the angle. The ends, where
they come against the wall, will
have to be leveled or cut like the
miter of frame so that they fit
close to the wall, which they would
not do if the molding were cut off
square. The cornice and plinth will
keep the uprights in position when
nailed to the wall. The shelves
should now be got out of half-inch
deal. They will be triangles, with
the two ends which come against
the uprights cut off, and all the
shelves will be the same shape.
They will be held up or rest upon
three blocks Cd in plan). The blocks
against the uprights could be glued

then Margaret, my wife, looks in upon

his father. For my own part prefer
that he should be like his mother

best and sweetest woman in the world.

DIPPING FOR PARASITES.
Removing Troublesome Pests
from Sheep.

Parasites of all kinds are not only
injurious to the wool of sheep, but to
the health of the animals as well, and
dipping to destroy them should be re-
sorted to wherever and whenever they
are present at shearing time. There
Is no other way to remove the trou-
blesome pests except by repeating dip
ping, and sometimes it requires a good
many to accomplish the desired end.
Ticks will worry the thin, weak sheep
more than the strong ones. and they
seem to congregate on them in such
numbers as to cause their death.
Sometimes the ticks appear on the
impression is made that the dipping
did not free them from the parasites;
but this is a mistake. The trouble was
that the ticks were in the sheds or
stables where the sheep were kept,
and by putting the animals back in
their infested quarters the ticks soon
covered them again. The living quar-
tiers of the sheep must also be treated
with the solution by spraying and
washing and in this way we protect
the animals from future invasion.
A second dipping should follow the
first about ten days later, and the liv-
ing quarters should also receive a Sec
ond spraying. Sometimes where the
parasites are very numerous a third
dipping and spraying may pay.-Bos-
ton Budget.

THE BABIES BEDTIME.

Sweet are children in the morning. I'm the
afternoon or night,

In their play up in the playroom, in the

But they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they get their "nighties" on.
little ghosts of white a-romping DER the
bed and through the room,
In the season Of a lifetime they're the rosy
month of June;
Little ghosts of white a-marchIng to the
music of their laugh,
And the one who e'er would miss 1t sees
in life its minor half.
Little curls a-dangling frowsy-to the
heads a fitting wreath,
Little gowns a-hanging loosely, and the
peeping feet beneath;
Merry monarChs of the household and
their love is as the fawn,
And they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they've got their "nighties" on.
oh, the clear notes of their laughter, and
the patter of their feet.
AS they romp and chase each other in the
game of hide and seek
Gives a hint of faint suspicion of the world
that is to be,
For the Master taught us, saying: Suffer
these to come TO Me"
Soon fatigue oercomes the players, and
the white brigade is still,
And the Now l lay me" whispered with
a pleading and a will
oh, the wee tots are IN Sumber and their
dreams are in repose,
For the clearness of conscience rivals
beauties of the rose.
And the white. upturned, sweet visage

from this life is gone,

A traveller in the Bolivian Andes says
that at one time while his cart was
making its progress through passes
and over dizzy heights he had chance
to learn how two taciturn persons may
show their satisfaction at meeting in
other than the conventional way.
1t was midday, and under the glar-
ing vertical sun drowsiness had in
vaded us. We slept until we were
awakened by the approach of the mail
cart coming in the opposite direction,
the first civilized vehicle we had en-
countered. Both drivers stopped and
gazed at each other long in silence.
They were evidently pleased to
meet, but had nothing whatever to
say. At last one inquired:
what news?"
Nothing" replied the other.
"What did he say?" asked the first,
doubtless continuing a conversation a
fortnight old.
"Nothing."
Good" and they drove on.-Youth's

Drainage is thing that is frequent
ly neglected in the construction of
stable. The plot of ground under the
barn is permitted to accumulate mois-
ture and to lose none of it except
through overflow This wet ground
under the stable is fruitful source
of development for certain germs.
The ground should be so we'll drained
that the ground under the stake will
be always dry. Moreover the barn
yard should be thoroughly drained,
not only by digging a ditch to carry
off the surface water, but also by tile
drains laid three feet under the
ground and quite close. The result
of such drains is to render the ground
porous and enable the liquids to pass
quickly into the earth.-Farmers Re-

ably little doubt that the old noble
man died of broken heart over the fail
ure of Whitaker Wright's company,

Dufferin had consented to be chair

most of his fortune to make good the

A SERVIAN BRIDE.
of COstuEae and Ar
ticles bestowed Upon Her
as DOwry.

At market we saw a bride in the ma
tive dress, who had just come from the
church where the marriage ceremony
had been performed, and was receiv-
ing the congratulations of her friends
and neighbors, while her proud hus-
band stood at her side and was en-
We'd, says Servian correspond
ent of the Chicago Record dHerald.
She was a buXom damself of the Swed-
ish type, with blonde hair and clear
blue eye. Her head was covered with
a peculiar turban, from which hung
clusters of silver coins. Long strings
of coins were suspended from a neck
lace and a girdle, and hung over her
shoulders and hips and must have been
very heavy. These were her dowry.
She had begun to save them during
her childhood, and, instead OF putting
them in a savings bank, had strung
them together for ornaments, and had
worn some or all of them on festive
occasions to attract the attention of
the eligible young men of the neigh
borhood.
They were of different denomina-
tions, all of silver, and were strung to-
gether with a good deal of taste. The
custom of the country permits a bride
to control her dowry after marriage,
and many women are able to preserve
their wedding coins and transmit
them to their children. Sometimes
they are exchanged for piece of land,
a cottage, or cattle, and sometimes
the coins are taken, one by one, from
the string to meet emergencies in do
mestic economy.

AN ENGLISH BATH STORY.
Novel Arrangement for Obtaining a
Shower-Bnth In an Irish Sea-
side Resort.

A good story has recently been
picked up in the west of Ireland by Mr..
r. j. Mecredy, the well-known motor
list. 1t concerns the rising little sea-
side town of Lahinch, a place which has
recently developed tremendously
through the tourist and golf booms,
says the London NJ. 4. p. A few years
ago the public baths, like most other
institutions in the village, were very
primitive. They were situated in a lit
tie cottage, which was just above the
high-water mark. Shower baths were
speciality, and they were to be had
in a room which had bathtub placed
in the middle of the floor. On pulling
a string perfect deluge of bracing
sea water came through the ceiling.
A lady visitor once stood ready in the
tub and gave the dread signal. But
instead of the usual avalanche of
green water there came from aloft the
gruff voice of the fisherman propri-
etor of the baths: "If yen move
taste more to the wesht, ma am" said
the voice, "ye'll get the full benefit av
the shower" Looking up she, to her
horror, deserted the old fisherman
standing by an aperture in the cell
ing, and holding a barrel of sea water
ready for the douche! Whether the
lady moved to the west and received
the shower or not, the chronicler does
not relate. But Lahinch has made gil
ant strides onward since.
