Take Care of Your Eyes.

An authority on the care of the eyes
emphasizes the fact that in this day
of reckless misuse of the eyesight the
rules laid down must consist Of warn
ings regarding things to be avoided.
Here are some of the main rules for the
care of the eyes which should be of
interest to everybody:
First: Do not use the eyes in poor
light, or too far from a good light
Second: Do not have the body in the
way of the light, nor the light directly
in front One is almost as bad as the
other. The light should fall without
interruption from one side. Third: Do
not use the eyes much when recovering
from Illness or when very tired.
Fourth: Do not use the eyes when
they become watery, or show signs of
indistinctness of vision. Fifth: Do
not work with head bent over. This
tends to gorge the vessels of the eyes
with blood, and to produce congestion.
Sixth: Do not read lying fat on the
back or reclining, unless the book is
supported IN the same relative angle
and position as when erect. This is
so difficult to do that it is better not to
attempt it. Seventh: Do not 90 n
single day without glasses after you
should put them on.

Is 1t possible that French knots are to
be displaced by enother little embroid-
cry novelty? Almost every gown one
sees now displays some arrangement
of these curious little knots, while fash.
ion magazines and papers continually
refer to the modish style Of trimming
Yet only the other day appeared 9
Paris model which, Notwithstanding
the embroidery, hadn't single knot Of
this particular variety. Instead, there
was pretty arrangement of tiny
crosses worked after the manner Of
knots, but with very decided points,
The embroidery presented an effect Of
cross stitch work, yet each small figure
was entirely separate from the others.
On bands and straps, rows of these
little crosses worked in contrasting
shade of silk are very effective, and
when irregular masses are desired they
will be found to fill in quite as nicely as
the much used knot.
While usually trife larger than
French knots, the size, Of course, de,
pends upon the kind of silk used fol
the embroidery. If you want youI
linen frock trimmed in new way
have it ornamented with bands upoI
which are worked tiny crosses in dull
blue, red or green, and the yoke effect
as well as the lower part Of the sleeve
puff or the deep cuff, may be solidly
embroidered after this novel fashion,

RUSSIAN COURT COSTUME.
Antique Dress Which Contains Three
Pounds of Metal.

According to the New York Post a
complete Russian court costume of the
sixteenth century has been recently
imported by the proprietor of an East
Side Russian bazaar. who claims that
It is the only article of the kind for sale
in town. The cloth of which the dress
is heavy with gilt and silver threads.
and is embroidered over in the richest
and brightest colors. There are said to
be between two and three pounds OF
metals in the dress. Although so mag.
nificent on the outside. the lining is OF
old-fashioned calico, of quality which
would be sold to-day for few cents
yard, and the stiffening is a sort OF
brown pasteboard. A curious feature
of the costume is its head dress, sort
of pointed cap. around the edges OF
which is wide band of lacework.
made from tiny beads of mother-of'
pearl, accurately strung. The dealer
who has the gown says that he bought
it from a museum employe at st. Pet
ersburg, and that the dress itself had
been on public exhibition there. Real
izing the unusual opportunity for get
ting hold of such rarity. he did not
stop to inquire how It got from the mu-
scum shelves to the attendants hands.
A water-pitcher of copper, coated
over with lead and elaborately en-.
graved, is another curiosity received in
one of the Russian shops. The pitcher
is about $50 years old, and was made
by the Grusians, a mountain tribe. who
were first subdued by Alexander II,
Not having silver, they covered their
finer copper vessels with lead, which
was bright and silver-like when new,

One of the greatest charms of the
attractive modern woman, says a
French author, lies in her great variety
of moods. She presents different
type half a dozen times a day, so that
one is never bored in her company,
while the interest is constantly sus-
tanned by wondering what phase will
be presented next. Certainly the girl
of the new century answers to this
description, for she has almost as many
sides as there are facets to diamond.
She is charmngly girlish in her simple
white frock in the morning, arranging
the flowers or performing some other
pretty domestic service. She is delic-
lously feminine gowned In beruflled
muslin driving about in her low basket
wagon, like Leach girly girl of long
ago. She Is deliciously masculine in
her riding togs, with all the courage
and dash of an adventuresome youth
In her pursuit Of sport by land and
water. Afterward, strangest of all the
transformations, looking like a gnome

Sweet Pickles OF Red Peppers.

The sweet pickle was no doubt OF
East Indian brigham English fmlta
tion of the East Indian chutney, intro
duced with curry and other East In
dian dishes toward the end of the
eighteenth century. The novelty of
adding cayenne and cocoanut and such
ingredients was never adopted by the
English housewife, though it was a
part of the genuine East Indian chut-
ney. Not until a century later did An
glo-SaXon housewives attempt to make
genuine chutneys, with their curious
compound Of acids, sweets, cayenne
and spices of all sorts.
A new pickle introduced this season
Is made of red peppers. Soak the
pickles In boiling water for about twen-
ty minutes and then put them in a
cold brine to soak over night and to
draw out the crude juices of the veg
etable. Finally cut them into thin
slices and make into a sweet pickle pre-
cisely as peaches, pears and other
fruits are picked. This is just the
relish necessary with dish Of roasted
meat.-New York Tribune.

vet ribbon.
The sleeves are shaped with the regu-
lation inside seams, and also have
seams on the top. They fit the upper
arm closely. Material added at each
side of the top seam is gathered and
fastened at the elbow, falling in loose
puff to the wrist, where it Is finished
with a velvet band. Ribbon covers
the seam from shoulder TO elbow.
The skirt is made with five well-pro-
portioned cores, narrow front, and
sides with wide backs, fitted smoothly
around the waist and hips without
darts. The fulness in the centre back
is arranged in an underlying pleat at
each side of the closing. These pleats
are fatty pressed and present per-
fectly plain appearance.
The skirt is sheath fitting from waist
to knee. The flounces are narrow in
front and graduate in depth toward
the back. They are of circular shap-
ing and flare stylishly at the lower
edge, where the hens are finished with
machine stitching.
To make the skirt in the medium size
will require seven yards of forty four
inch material.

Tea ice cream has not the popularity
that its delicate flavor warrants. Make
two cupfuls of strong tea, and season
1t with two tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Let it cool. Then add it to two pints Of

prove it, but it is not necessary. Freeze
