Health and Beauty Hints,

Benzoln in sufficient quantities to
make the water milky will aid in tight
ening the skin.
Rough soaps obtained from the kiteh-
en- are not such bad skin hleachers. The
skin can be scrubbed with this soap,
which very often contains powerful
acids, and then can be Immediately
washed again, so that the acids are not
left TO eat into the skin.
The physical culture doctors-those
who guarantee to raise the height-de-
clare that there is great deal In the
simple Strengthening of the figure. They
hold that the body Is built upon a
framework which often bends from
lack Of care or twists from some physi..
cal defect.
An excellent recipe for the cure of
chapped hands and lips Is as follows:
Dissolve in equal quantities of white
wax and sweet oil small piece of cam.
phor. 1t should be put in a stone lar
on the hob and melted. 1t must then
be kept closely covered To be applied
to the hands after washing and pre-
vious to drying them.
A surface burn which only scorches
the outer skin, shrivellng 1t, causing
much pain, but not injur.ng the under
tissues, is a first-degree burn. No bliste.

sort, which a water treatment should

Try green pepper sandwiches for a
luncheon dainty.
Rub a bit of soda over meat or poultry
that seems overripe and wash in cold
water.
For sweet potato waffles, mash cup
full of potatoes; add four teaspoonfuls
of flour. one each of sugar and butter,
half teaspoonful salt, and milk to make
thin batter.
Cream cheese toast is an excellent
savory, and very good way of using
up a small -piece of cream cheese. Cut
thin slices from n roll, lightly spread
with dissolved butter, season with
cayenne and salt Put slice of cream
cheese on each and brown quickly in
the oven. Serve hot.
Raw oysters enter frequently into a
salad combination of which the other
component parts are broken walnut
meats and celery cut into dice-those
arranged on bed of lettuce hearts
with a French dressing poured over the
whole. \ necessity for the success of
this salad is that the oysters should be
very cold, and the celery and lettuce of
crisp perfection.
If when making a fruit tart you make
a little opening In the center OF the
crust and insert either straw or lit.
tie paper funnel. the steam will escape
through it as through a chimney, and
all the juice will be retained in the pie.
The great thing In baking a custard
is to prevent it from boiling. because IL
it boils 1t is full of holes. and the up-
pearanee is completely spoiled. To pre-
vent this, place the dish the custard is
IN in larger dish half full of water.
The water will boil, but not the custard,
and it win cook quite satisfactorily.
Take out as soon as it is set.

Storing Celery for Winter.

When kept in quantities, celery re-
quires considerable room. An economi-
cal way to provide the necessary stor-
age Is by the covered ditch plan.
Dig trench or trenches in well-draln-
ed soil, not more than four feet wide
and about two feet deep. Put board
partition through the center of the
trench to divide the mass Of celery and
prevent 1t becoming too solid. Rafters
Of 2x4 stuff are set at 1-3 pitch four feet
apart. Make square box yentilators that
may be stuffed with straw to keep out
frost In severe weather.

Methods Of milking have much IN.
fuenee on the quantity Of milk given
by the cow. and some think that a
faulty method also affects the proper
ton of butter fat in the milk At
recent meeIing of the British Dairy
Association the subject was discussed
and an interesting paper was read by
Primrose Mcconnell on the subject
He described the stripping methods
as that in which the fingers are forci-
bly, drawn down the teat. sometimes
down with energy. as if the mixer
was drawing the milk down from the
horns Of the COW If the teats are
scratched in the least or chapped this
rough process opens and keeps irri-
tated the broken skin so that there will
be a considerable soreness, inevitably
resulting in a decrease of the yield.
The squeezing method is much the
better. The operator grasps the teat,
and, the arms and elbow moving.
squeezes it only. without any pulling.
and no cessation of the sound, for the
streath is started from one teat before
1t Is stopped to take new hold at the
other. The principal superiority of
this method lies in the fact that it
deals gently with the teat, so that
where there is a tendency to soreness
the sores are not continually reopened.
and thus the animal stands more quiet
~ during the operation. Sores heal up
more quickly, new ones are not form
ed, and consequently the animal will
be better mixer. A COW that could
hardly be made to submit to the form
er method may stand quietly during
the latter.-New England Farmer

Lizards Locomotion.

In certain rocks the footprints of
large animals which walked ON their
hind legs are found. 1t has formed
moot question with biologists wheth.
err such prints were those of gigantic
birds or reptiles. In the Frlassic sand.
stones of Connecticut, for example.
typical footprints of this kind occur.
The impressions in question exhibit
the arrangement of joints IN the toes
such as Is characteristic of birds, but
then reptiles aud birds are so intimately
related IN respect of many anatomical
points that little reliance can be placed
upon the reSembiances in question On
the other hand, we know that some ex.
tinct reptiles walked on their hind legs.
and recently a number of observations
have been made which tend to show
that this bipedal mode Of progression
is by no means uncommon even In ord.
nary reptiles. w. Savile Kent showed
that certain Australian lizards habitu.
ally adopted the two-footed attitude
and now ii is recorded that the common
green lizard and others nearly related
may assume this position. Perhaps the
modern hind-footed movements of liz.
ards, occasionally assumed, are the sur.
vivals of an ancestral habit which wa
common enough. Such observations

Sowing Alfalfa.

The best way TO sow alfalfa is to blow
the land deep In the spring or winter.
Turn up little new SOIL harrow down
and sow beardless spring barley at the
rate Of two bushels to the acre Sow
fifteen pounds, or peck, of alfalfa seed
at the same time. l usually roll the
land well after sowing. This makes
the alfalfa do better, but is sometimes
hard on the barley. Alfalfa VIII come
up through very firm soil and thrive
better than when 1t is too loose. Let the
barley ripen and cut 1t for grain. Then
when the alfalfa starts up n little clIn

start again, and after month or so clIn
again. 1t is better to keep stock off for
TWO years. Begin moving the second
year as soon as the blossoms form. Ar.

Economical Hint. In Dressing.


The first great economy to practice
is to take care of the existing ward
robe. When removing coat, dress
or hat, brush 1t and let 1t air little
before putting 1t away. Let there be
at least two loops with which to hang
loop at each armhole. A basket work
skirt dummy will be found of great
use, not only in dressmaklng. but when
skirt is damp, as putting 1t on the
dummy to dry will prevent Its wrink-
ling. When purchasing dress length
get an extra yard or SO; this will be
found invaluable in case of accidents.
and II the dress is to be altered at any
time an extra piece Is necessity.
The most economical dress for even
riety can be given by wearing differ
ent colored sashes, or fichu or lace col
lar. 1t Is by no means economical to
buy very cheap things-they do not
wear well nor really look we'll when
they are new; but especially and above
all eschew cheap boots. shoes and
gloves. Underlinen must always be
kept in repair. Dainty underskirts may
be made of zephyr or muslin for sum-
mer, or satin and moreen for winter
But perhaps the most important. and
1t may be the most difficult. way to
economic Is to avoid all indiscriminate
buying of bargains" and to strenu-
ously refrain from purchasing things
of which there is really no need. To
be neat Is to be well dressed.

The Potato Cron.

A fair illustration of the difference
between an average crop and a good
crop may be found In the census re-
port Of the potato crop. as given in
1900. The, average crop for all the
States was placed at sos bushels per
acre. The average in Vermont was 1874
bushels that year and In Maine 126
bushels. The new land In Montana
averaged the same as Vermont in 1900.
but they had 1856 bushels In 1897 and
ITO bushels In 1885, Nevada had 100
bushels In 1896 and 156 bushels in
1900. OF the other States, there were
1876 bushels per acre In 1900 In Idaho.
116 In Washington, 10 In Oregon and
104 In California. The fact that Ne.
vada and Idaho were the only States
that exceeded Vermont In 1900. and
Montana only equaled 1t, shows that
the stony lands of New England can
equal the newly settled and exceed.
ingly fertile lands Of the Northwestern
States; and II the cost of manure and
fertilizer and the labor of cultivation
Is not as much there as here, there Is
a gain In the better values that they
have here when ready for market
