An effective remedy for sleeplessness is re-
ported by Dr. Won Gellhorn to be band of wet
muslin, about eighteen inches wide, wound
around the lower part of the leg. The band
age is covered by gutta percha tissue and the
stocking, and in some cases is replaced every
three or four hours. The effect is to dilate the
vessels of the leg, thus diminishing the blood in
the head and producing sleep. The temperature
of the ear has been reduced X F. in 10 minutes,
returning to normal only after X to 2 hours.

Turf fuel is made by T. Jebsen by drying the
turf pressing into blocks, and heating in retorts
by means of internally placed electric resist
-ance cor. Inc charcoal left in the retorts is a
useful substitute for either wood charcoal or
gas-coke. gas is produced that is adapted for
lighting or heating purposes, and tarry liquid
that distilled over can be worked up for paraf-
fine ammonium sulphate, and methyl alcohol.
A factory at Stangfjorden, Norway, now has IL

dynamos, direct coupled to five 12S horsepower
turbines, and a separate turbine supplies the

TEACH YOUR GIRLS HOW TO SPEND.

TEACH YOUR GIRLS HOW ~ oFeNO'
Every wise mother knows what she
can afford to spend on her children's
dress; and it should be, and doubtless
often is, her pride and pleasure to see
her daughters well-dressed without IN
curing undue expense in attaining this
end.
Now, all young girls like pretty
clothes, and it is a proper taste to en-
courage. If girl does not care what
she looks like, or what dresses or hats
she wears, she will most likely become
slovenly in other ways too. Self-respect
in regard to her clothes ought to be en-
couraged in every young girl.
Extravaganza in dress is quite another
matter, and we do not for one moment
advocate that taste in dress should be
fostered to the extent of spending more
than is right on clothing.
1t is often very difficult, especially
with a growing girl, to strike the judi
cious middle course. An excellent
method of teaching a young girl how to
spend judiciously on dress, is to allow
her a certain amount for her clothes,
after providing her with comfortable
outfit. From the age of twelve girl
can very we'll assist in purchasing her
own dress. 1t would not perhaps be
wise to give a quarterly allowance en-
tirely into young girls control; but if
her mother writes the amount in an &C
count book and deposits the money
somewhere where both can have access
to it, and at first only allows the girl to
take money out with her consent and
approval, it Is astonishing how soon the
wise little body will arrange matters,
and learn to purchase economically

TAKING CARE OF FuRs IN SPRING

TAKING CARE OF FURs IN SPRING.
The woman of wealth who has large
stock of costly furs, and who can afford
to pay well for having them kept in
good condition and renovated In accord
ance with the latest fashion, usually
entrusts her treasures to the care of a
furrier. She is wise in 80 doing, for
although he takes very simple precau-
tons to ensure their well-being, his
methods are thorough, and this is the
secret of success. Those who are not
so abundantly endowed with this worlds
goods may, however, be quite as
thorough as he, as regards the manage
ment of the fur garments they may
possess, even if they are obliged to rely
on their own resources.
The greatest mistake that can be made
is to put away ones furs with the last
winter wind, and keep them in seclusion
until the first November frost. Even If
moth preventives have been their COM
panions during this period, the furs will
have deteriorated in lustre and condition.
They should be occasionally removed
from their Cupboard or box, shaken, and
thoroughly examined, left in the air
awhile, beaten afresh, and then replaced.
1t is better to hang them up, If possible,
to avoid creases, but circumstances must
determine methods. In any case, they
must be thoroughly cleaned before they
are put away, in order to free them from
moths or moth eggs. This is more than
half the battle. Take care that they
are thoroughly dry before putting them
away. Newspapers form very good
coverings, if the furs are to be enclosed
in boxes. There are numerous moth
preventives sold. Either camphor,
pepper, or bitter apple may be used.
bags to prevent contact with fur, but
nothing will be perfectly effectual with
out thoroughness and personal atten-
ton.
The Innings of fur cloaks when white
or light-colored soon get soiled. To
clean them, mix some bran with little
warm water, being careful not to make
| it too wet. Rub this on the fur, and
when it is dry, shake it out, and rub the
fur again with slightly-warmed, dry
bran. Finally, shake this out, and
smooth the fur over with a piece OF
flannel.
Another way, slightly different, which
is said to impart lustre to the fur and
give it a new appearance, is to heat
some bran till quite hot, rub it into the
fur, brush it out with very clean brush,
or, better still, beat the fur gently till all
the bran is removed. Some people
apply the hot bran with the hand, others
with fine muslin; and occasionally
magnesia is rubbed into white fur be-
fore finally brushing or beating it.
An old recipe for cleaning ermine OF
white fur is to dust the furs well with a
soft flannel, and then rub in with the
flannel some fine wheat fionr. Shake
out the flour, and rub with a clean
flannel till YOU have removed it ALL
Take care to rub the fur against the
grain, so to speak.-McCalps Magazine
