Dane. and Germans.

The character and temperament OF
the population of north Sleswick are
very quiet and peaceable. AS an Of
fetal Prussian record of criminal cases
states, there is in the whole German
empire no single province in which SO
few sentences are passed by the GRIM
inal judges as in north Sleswick.
There were only half the Prussi3n aver
age of theft cases and cases of robbery
with murder and murderous assault.
These, favorable crime statistics are
due principally to the good bringing up
and intelligence of the middle and
lower classes as we'll as to the cordial
and harmonious family life Of the Dan
ish population. Among the individual
members of the family there always
exists a consistently affectionate and
hearty tone in their intercourse with

suicides on .Blue Monday"

A scientist who has made study OF
suicides has discovered that more Won
en- commit suicide on Monday than on
any other day of the week.
Monday. 'blue Monday" as it has
long been called. is one of the most
trying days of the week for women
who are housewives, principally be-
cause it is wash day" Breakfast is
usually served earlier than on other
days and more hastily prepared. Tie
children are early hurried off to school
and dinner is often picked up" Blue
Monday" is the one day in the week
when housewives troubles. hard
work and annoyances seem to come all
at once; hence the significant name
for the first working day of the week.

Bell Ringing In London In 1909.

Bell Ringing In London In 1903.
Here is an extract from journal of
the year 1909: On arriving in London
we heard a great ringing Of bells in
almost all the churches going on very
late In the evening. We were informed
that the young people do that for the
sake Of exercise and amusement, and
sometimes they pay considerable sums
as a wager who will pull bell the
longest and ring it in the most ap-
proved fashion Parishes spend much
money in tremendously sounding bells,
that one being preferred which has the
best bells. The old queen Is said to
have been pleased very much by this
exercise, considering it as sign Of the
health of the people. They do not ring
the bells for the dead. When person
lies in agony the bells Of the parish
he belongs to are touched with the
clappers until he either dies or recov-
ers again. AS soon as this sign IS
given everybody in the street as well
as in the houses falls on his knees Of
fering prayer for the sick person.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Notions About the Candkstiek,
Whether For Use or Ornament.

The bedroom candle depends upon
the style of its holder for becoming
an interesting accessory to the
smaller furnishings of the chamber.
The tin candlesticks covered with
enamel paint and the colored china
are the least expensive for cottage
rooms. Hand painted work may be
introduced on fine white china can
dlesticks, with the same color and
decorations employed in other parts
of the room. Brass candlesticks al
ways retain high degree of popu-
larity, antiques being carefully cher
ished and their reproductions al
most as much thought of.
~ Silver candlesticks have a special
fitness in the dining room among
fine glass and china, the branching
candelabra making handsome part
of the sideboard accouterments. Tall
candlesticks made of rich toned ma
hogany are also in place in the din
ing room, says an exchange, their
wooden surface not exacting the
constant rubbing and polishing Of
the metals.
Russian candlesticks of hammered
brass that stand four and five feet
from the floor are sometimes used
for a piano light, or simply as an
element of decoration in dark cor
ner.
Candlesticks are made in glass
shapes in fine or coarse make, the
cost agreeing with the degree of fine
ness of the material. These seem
to have the right setting in rooms
finished in white paint and dainty
furnishings.

The Refreshing Tomato.

The brilliant color of the tomato
when quite ripe is very attractive,
and when peeled and the succulent
pulp chilled thoroughly, each to-
mato slashed partially through, in
quarters, pressed partially open and
set in cups of crisp, tender green
lettuce leaves, served with a French
dressing or mayonnaise, it brings
rest, peace and refreshment to the
victim of the overheated atmosphere
and will cause him to rise up from
such regalement and call the man
blessed who was brave enough to
first experiment with the tomato as
an edible.

An Emergency Cupboard.

An emergency cupboard is an i'm
portant possession for the house
hold, particularly where there are
children. 1t need not be very deep
nor high, but it should contain two
shelves and among other things the
following: Soft old cotton, linen or
cheese cloth cut in strips and rolled
for use for bandages or plasters,
strips of flannel, vaseline, adhesive
plaster, cotton wool, borax, fine
sponge, hot water bottle, roll of fine
string, spool of cotton and a bottle
containing equal portions of lime
water and sweet oil, the latter being
an excellent mixture for burns.

For Carpets.

Although there may be many new
liquids for freshening and brighten
ing carpets, nothing will do better
work than OK gall, says an exchange.
Use one gill to gallon Of cold soft
water, stirring the OK gall into the
water with a stick. With a soft
brush rub the carpet, making a
white Iather. Two persons should
DO this work, one following the 9TH
er and washing the lather off with
clear water. The water should be
changed often, and then the carpet
should be rubbed with clean cloths
until dry.
