Tips on Publicity,

Simplicity, properly garbed, is a
tower of strength in advertising.
Now is the time to begin getting busy
on the execution Of next years adver-
tising plans.
Seek to make every advertisement
sell certain goods or pave the way for
others to do so.
If you do not understand type dis
play-and do not employ advertising
counsel-choose a progressive printer
to do your work and trust to him.
Large display lines may be toned
down by an artist so that they will be
neither revolving nor shockingly bold
and still be very conspicuous. Use
them, by all means, at every oppor-
tunity.
Never use programmes for general
publicity-eXcept for such things as
appeal strongly to theatrical folk and
wealthy theatre-goers. For the aver
age advertiser they are not worth the
cost of the white paper occupied by
the advertisement.
The good advertiser is merely the
author of series of chapters in a con-
tinued story. If the general plot is
good, the incidents interesting, the IL
lustrations catchy, the style entertain
ing and the binding attractive this
story is a successful one and will be
largely read.
There is altogether too much of this
talk about advertising paying. Let it
be understood that a business must
first be put in shape to win its way
before advertising can make it pay.
Advertising is simply one of the main
spokes in the wheel-not the whole
wheel.
Every advertiser Of experience comes
around-at one time or another-to the
belief that there is more speculation
than anything else about Advertising
until after the advertising has ap-
peared in print. No man can tell just
what an advertisement will do until
after it has been tried.
Six ords-expressiVe, explanatory
and convincing in tone and nature
may form a better argument than
hundred others Which are either ne
elected because of their number or are
weak because of their nature. A few
well chosen words, properly displayed,
may be made to say a great deal.
Many a good advertising opportunity
or plan is spoiled by the refusal of the
advertiser to take q chance on inviting
the public to make an unsafe invest
mentor by refusing to exaggerate
about the goods offered for sale. In
the end the truthful advertiser is
bound to profit from the conservatism
while on the other hand he takes a
chance by operating on the other plan.

HEAT IN THE OVEN.
How the Bakers Determine 1t by tho
Mere Touch of the Hand.

How the Bakers Determine 1t by tho
Mere Touch of the Hand.
"Bakers have a curious way Of tell
Ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said a down town baker who
has been in the business for more than
quarter of a century, land they can
tell, too, with almost marvellous ac-
curacy. You take a man who is an
expert in the business, and he can
tell what the temperature of the oven
is by simply touching the handle of the
oven door. In nine cases out of ten he
will not miss it a fraction of a de-
gree. Bakers have other ways, OF
course of testing the heat of the oven.
For instance, when baking bread, they
sometimes throw piece of white paper
into the oven, and if it turns brown. the
oven is at the proper temperature; or,
when baking other things they will
throw little cornmeal or flour into
the oven in order to test the heat.
But the bakers fingers are the best
gauge, and when you come to think
of the different temperatures required
in baking different things, it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the handle
of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the ris-
ing time of loaf of bread, after it
has been placed in the oven, it ought
to be in temperature of seventy-fve
degrees Fahrenheit. During the bak-
ing process, in order to cook the starch,

Hnw to Cook NeretnhIes,

Vegetables should always be boiled
In plenty of waterfall, that is, except
peas BY this means any unpleasant
ness of flavor is carried Off.
Where vegetables are known to be
less digestible than others it is a good
plan to parboil them; then, having
poured away the first water, boil them
again in a fresh supply.
The time for boiling vegetables de-
pends, of course, upon their fresh
hess and size.
All greens, such as cabbages, ETC.,
are much improved by being boiled
with little carbonate of soda.
Soda should not, however, be used
In the case of broccoli or caulifiower,
which, by the way, requires very care
full boiling, or its appearance gets
spoiled.
Tomatoes are specially good for
dyspepsia, and lentils are not only
most nourlshing but most easily
cooked and digested.
Potatoes should always be boiled in
saucepan specially kept for them.
If the pan is used for any other veget-
ables, they will become discolored.
They are best when boiled in their
skins. When peeled, they loose their
flavor and the salt, which pass out
into the water. Tney should be all of
a size, whether large or small.
Cold turnips, greens or spinach can
be heated by putting them in basin
and placing them in a saucepan of
boiling water over the fire. Put on
the lid and steam till warmed through.
Another method of heating cold
broccoli, ETC., is to mince the green's
or spinach very finely, let them get
very hot in the oven, then place them
on rashers of fried bacon with poached
eggs on the top. This makes very
appetizing dish.
Serve vegetables directly they are
done. They should not be allowed to
remain in the water for a moment
after they have once been boiled.

Natures Colorings Copied.

We borrow our ideas from all sources
as far as dress is concerned. but the
last notion Is to try and adapt to wom-
ans clothes the hue Of the butterflies
wings. 1t is quite true we cannot inn
prove on Dame Nature, but it Is diff
cult to interpret her, and when you
compare the colors we produce with
those you see in nature the process is
very certainly disheartening. A blu

butterflies wings we may utilize, but
we can hardly hope to vie with nature
in some of the hues which combine
seventy tints in one-yiz. brown shot
with gold and blue, with reds and pea
cocks blues. The fawn color in the
butterfy's wing and the lichen greens
we have never touched even. When
y2p come to examine the beautiful but
terfiles in the tropics, which appear to
change in every light, you test the I'M
possibility of it. There is q green and
gold butterfly in Jamaica intermixed
with plum color which would make a
fortune to anybody who could repro
duce It, or the olive green and deep
yellow Of a Chinese moth. There is no

Crows Feet.

In old-fashioned books of a quarter
century ago you used to hear a great
deal about 'crow's feet" appearing on
the face as a sign of advancing age.
For some reason or other they are not
seen often nowadays, and wrinllled
men and women are comparatively
rare, at least in this section of the
country. The only crows feet you
see are the pretty specimens of black
silk embroidery which are executed at
the corners of outside patch pockets
on tailored waist or at the overlap
pings of seams here and there on the
dress. The "crow's feet" make n
handsome finish and give firmness and
stability to the garment.

THE JAPANESE WOMAN.
She is Not Slave. But the Autocrat and
Idol of the Home.

She is Not Slave, But the Autocrat and
Idol of the Home.
"No race can rise higher than its
mothers" japanese women are essen
TALLY race of mothers, and the care
and rearing Of their children occupies
so much of their time and thought that
they are unable to have that extensive
social life their Western sisters enjoy,
even We're it not for the etiquette
which makes it actually fashionable
for them to find their pleasure in their
homes.
Many have imputed to Japanese
women in consequence lack of
knowledge and undue meekness, re-
garding them as little more than serv-
ants of their families and husbands.
Such criticism is purely superficial and
y from being accurate; indeed, it is
very inaccurate.
The position Of a Japanese woman
IS n high one. She is addressed as
eOiusama," the honorable lady Of the
house, and she is treated with the
greatest consideration and respect by
her husband and her family. Far
from being meek, slavish creature
of the household, she is more the men
tor, the autocrat and idol of the home.
In domestic affairs she has full con-
troll. Her duties are onerous, but
never repugnant to her. They consist
of managing the household, practicing
economy, making her home pleasant
both in appearance and by her cheer
fulness of disposition, and the educa-
tion and instruction of her children,
for even after the children have en-
tered school they are still under her
tutelage.
AS her home is therefore her world,
It is only natural that it has become
the inherent instinct Of the Japanese
women to lavish the greatest love and
tenderness upon their homes. and to
Axpend much time and thought in en-
deavorinG to make them as attractive
and as pleasant as possible.
Her house is the acme of purity. To
q Western eve the aspect of the inte-
rior of a Japanese house may at first
seem bare and barren. In truth, the
Japanese abhor decoration of any kind
and consider it not only inartistic, but
extremely vulgar. 1 was once shown
n so-called Japanese room" in the
house of Il Chicago millionaire, and I
am quite sure that the average Japan
ese housewife would have thought
herself in the room OF some insane per-
son, or else in some curiosity shop.
Such Il profuson of articles scattered
broadcast about the room! Such
frightful display of mixedup orna
ments hanging to the wall! - Onoto

Rules For All visitors.

10o not stay too long. It is much to
break into the life any family, even
for few days. Pay no attention to
urgings to stay longer, however sin
cere they seem. Set time to so when
you arrive, and stick to it. Conform
absolutely to the household arrange
ments, especially as to times of rising,
going to meals and retiring. Be ready
in ample time for all drives or other
excursions.
Carry with you all needed toilet sup
plies, that you may not be obliged to
mortify your host by pointing out pos
sible deficiencies in the guest room
such as a clothes brush-the article
most commonly lacking.
Enter heartily into all their plans
for entertaining you, but make it plain
that you do not care to be entertained
all the time, or to have every minute
filed with amusement.
BE ready to suggest little plans for
pleasure when you see your host at
losS to entertain you. Try how well
you can entertain him for a change.
Turn about is fair play in visiting, as
well as in everything else.
Be pleased with all things.
If you ever were brisk and sprightly
be so now.
Your high spirits and evident enjoy
ment are the only thanks your host
wants.
Take some work with you, so that
when your host has to work you may
keep him in couDtenance by working
ALSO More good times are to be had
over work than over play, anyway.
Do not argue, or discuss, debatable
matters. Few things leave a worse
taste in the mouth.
Offer to pay the little incidental ex-
penses that win be caused now and
then by your visit, but merely offer
do not insist upon il, which would be
very rude.-Woman's Life.

Soups For the Winter.


Every age has its pleasures, its
style of wit and its own ways" and
it might be added Every season has
its soups" Here are few recipes for
some good, substantial soups for cold
weather:
Black Bean Soup-This soup is con.
sidered to rank next to mock turtle,
the beans being known as turtle
beans Soak one pint of these beans
over night. In the morning put over
the fire in three quarts of water,
which as it boils away must be added
to so as to preserve the original guam
tity. Add four ounces Of salt pork,
half pound of lean beef cut in bits,
one carrot and two onions cut fine, one
tablespoonful of salt, one saltspoonful
Of cayenne, three cloves and little
mace. Cover close and boil four
hours. Rub through sieve and pour
in the turecn on three hard boiled
eggs, sliced, one lemon cut in thin
slices.
OXtail Soup-One oXtail, two pounds
of lean beef, four carrots, three onions,
thyme and parsley, pepper and salt to
taste and four quarts of cold water.
Cut the tail into joints and fry brown
in good dripping. Slice onions and
two carrots and fry in the same when
you have taken out the pieces of tail.
When done, tie them, the thyme and
parsley in a bag and drop into the
soup pct. Put in the tail, then the
beef, cut into strips. Crate over them
two whole carrots, pour over all the
water and boil slowly four hours.
Strain and season. Thcllen with
brown flour wet with cold water. Boil
fifteen minutes longer and serve.
Potato Soup-Boil six good-sized po-
tatoes for fifteen minutes, drain, re-
turn to the pot, add one quart of
water, two onions, sliced; a small
bunch OF celery cut in small pieces.
Boil all slowly about two hours or un.
til the potatoes are very soft. Mash
through sieve; add a cup of hot,
thick cream or milk, Tablespoonful of
butter, salt and pepper to taste and a
little chopped parsley. This soup
must be about the consistency Of thick
cream.-Washington Star.

Two or three points of general inter-
est developed at the recent sessions of
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science at Belfast. DR..
Isaac Roberts, in paper on the evo-
luton of the stellar systems, advanced
the theory that the universe, as astro-
nomical research has thus far revealed.
Is only one unit in the universe. His
inference was that all over the sky
vast areas without any stars We're scat
tered, and we were not warranted in
assuming that the absence of stars
was due to the inadeQuacy Of our op-
teal and Photographic powers to reveal
them, but there was actually an iIhpen-
etrable abyss void of stars existing
beyond the faintest stars that our most
powerful modern equipments enable
us to see. We could not prove incon-
trovertibly the truth of this deduction,
but the author had no hesitation in
stating that the solution of the Ques-
ton would not long be delayed, for
trustworthy data We're being rapidly
accumulated by which complete DEM
onstration would be effected.

Inasmuch as the domestic animals
are not subject to typhoid fever, it has
been supposed that the disease could
not be contracted by eating their flesh,
but two German investigators have
recently found the typhoid bacillus in
the splenic assesses Of a slaughtered
cow, and they conclude that, although
the domestic animals do not show the
LESSONS of the disease they may convey
it to man. This, they think, may be
held to account Tor the occasional OBJ
servation of epidemics of supposed
meat poisoning pursuing a course not
distinguishable from that of typhoid
fever.

Most people have at least queried
whether the abnormal coolness of the
past season might not be connected in
some way with the West India vol
canic disturbances. Scientific men
have generally refused to entertain the
idea for a moment, and have laughed
the case out of court, but at least enc
writer, NJ. Paul Combes, treats the
matter seriously. In an article i'll
Cosmos, he maintains that there is
reasonable probability that the West
India eruptions have altered the course
and volume of the Gulf Stream by
raising the sea bottom; and. as he holds
to the old theory of the inhuence of the
Gulf Stream on European climatic con-
ditions, the conclusion Of an altered
climate follows easily, at least for his
own continent. He does not consider
the case of America. Most meteorolo-
gists regard the influence of the Gulf
Stream on Europe as an exploded
myth, but NJ. Combes denies this.

1t appears, from recent exhaustive
experiments by Professor Backhaus, of
Konigsberg University, that although
the flavor OF cows milk is influenced,
as everyone knows, by various articles
of food, the taste of the milk also de-
pends, and in a still more important de-
gree, on the animals own peculiarities.
Some COWS persist in giving milk with
n flavor strong or disagreeable, no matt
ter what they are fed, and such milk is
often the cause Of disorders of the
digestive system.
Some surgeons now claim that it Is
possible to open the heart and divide

roneous. In thirty-eight eases de-
scribed by him wounds Of the heart
were stitched up. About one-half Of
the patients recovered from the opera
ton, and thirteen of them were fully
restored to health.
