Kitchen Aristocrats.

In a certain New England city the
going rate of domestic wages is four
dollars a week. One matron, having
had many heart-rending experiences
with the uneXpectedness Of her help,
was moved thereby voluntarily to
raise the wage of Il peculiarly compe-
tent girl to four dollars and a half,
with the hope of firmly cementing
Biddy to the family. She reckoned ill
in leaving out of her calculation one
of the strongest traits of human na.
ture-of human nature, at least, as it
disports itself in this land where all
are free and equal But few short
weeks had passed when this model
domestic, so recognized by the abnor-
NAL attitude of her stipend, Informed
her mistress that the extra half-dollar
a week made it impossible for her to
associate with the girls who were get
ting no more than four dollars, and
seeing that there was no society for
her in that neighborhood, she should
be forced to move TO Il more congeniai
locality. And move she did, leaving
not classified in any of the sociological
studies OF mistress and maid that have
come to our attention, but which
brings forth practical fruit in deter.
mination never again TO meddle with
those forces which tend to fix the
social status as between servart-Girl
and servant-girl. Our readers will

but where the immense practicalities
Of making the beds and doing the fam

not pretend to grasp the full signiii-
cance of this aristocracy OF the
kitchen, though the untoward practi-
cal effect is clear enough.-Harper's

INThrchclEs OF A DRY DOCK
Means of Removing Great Ships From
the Water.

Means of Removing Great Ships From
the Water.
A dry dock is a basin established in
solid ground, or at least partly sur
rounded by terra firma, into which 4
vessel may be fioated, and from which
the water may be entirely removed
after closing the entrance gate. The
water may be removed by pumping,
or where the rise and fall of the tide
equals or exceeds the depth of flota-
ton, it can be emptied and filled by
rayity.
In certain situations dry docks can
conveniently be placed so that their
normal water surface corresponds with
the half tide, thus largely increasing
the number of docking hours.
A floating dock is, in effect, sub
merged platform or pontoon. upon
which is erected a cradle or other de-
vice to receive the ships hull: col
nected with the floor are chambers,
which can be filled with water, to sink
it; or with air, to raise it. The ship is
foated above the cradle; the water is
pumped out Of the chambers, causing
the structure to rise to the ship and
then lift the latter out of the water.
For convenience and better adjustment
to the ships weight and structural
differences, floating docks are often
made in sections and are then known
as Sectional docks" or the latter
type are the floating docks in present
use on the East River front of New
York, used for craving coastwise YES
sells, chiefly.
The "off-shore" dock is a develop
nent Of the sectional floating dock.
In this type there is submerged pom
toon with a vertical extension above
water on one side only, the purpose
of the latter being to give stability to
the structure and provide room for
the pumps and the other plant; the
dock is placed parallel to the shore,
with which it is connected by means of
hinged booms moving in a vertical
plane and permitting the dock to rise
and fall.-Engineering Magazine.

Art of Putting Clothes Away.

Tie woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat,
but economical and generally smart
in appearance. When she comes in
from walk, she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar; If
she puts it away in the closet she
uses n coat-hanger-if she leaves it
around the room, knowing she may
need it soon, she diSposes it over the
back Of n chair that will keep it in
shape. The skirts of her gowns never
have a stringy look because they are
always hooked and then hung by two
loops. For tailor-made skirt she
uses small coat-hanger with the ends
bent down a little: this keeps the
skirt in excellent shape and causes it
TO hang in even folds. The strings of
her underskirts are tied and the gar"
ment is hung by the loops. thus never
showing hump where it has rested
on the hook. For the same reason her
shirt waists are always hung by the
armholes. unless they have hanging
loops Handsome waists have both
sleeves and body stuffed with tissue
paper and are then laid in drawers or
boxes
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping pair of trees into them rs
soon as they are removed from the
feet. If trees are not available. news
paper will do, if it is stuffed n tight
1t is we'll to roll each veil on n stiff
piece Of paper; a single foil will often
spoil the set of veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of Il face
Gloves should always be removed by
turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape, and each finger
smoothed out. Ties, especially four-in-
hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, Of course, should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the trim
ming will not be disarranged. This
disposition depends so much on the
hat and the available space that each
woman must use her own ingenuity.
However, it. is safe to say that no hat
should be laid fiat down on a shelf.

Effective as Well as Fashionable.

"Slot seam" effects make n notable
feature of advance STYLES and are both
novel and effective rs well as fashion
able. The stylish blouse shown in the
large drawing is of pastel green alba
trosS with touches Of black and white
given by black silk laid under the
pleats. and stitching with white corti-
celli silk. Tiny black and white but
tons decorate the fronts, each side of
the princess closing, and Il tie of black
edged with white and Il black belt held
by silver clasp give smart finish.
All wasting materials, wool, silk, linen
and cotton are, however, appropriate
and when desired the waist can he rem
dcred still simpler by emitting the silk
beneath the plcats, leaving the mate
rial only.
The foundation lining is smoothly
fitted and closes ut The centre front, but
separately from the outside. The waist
consists of fronts and back that are
laid in narrow tucks. which are turned
toward one another in groups Of two
and are stitched fiat TO form the 'Slot
seams" The closing is effected be-
meath the left plcat of the centre group
and Is invisible. The sleeves are in
bishop style, hut are arranged il "slot
seams at their upper portions which
fall free to form soft puiis at wrists.

Synonyms to Please Guests.

A Synonymous" entertainment is
one of the best means ever tried for
getting ones guests acquainted and
for removing all stiffness and formal
ity. Before the arrival of her guests
the hostess must make out complete
list Of their names and then must set
her wits to work to devise synonym
for each. No attempt is made at Sc
lecting literal synonyms for the word
or its parts as spelled.
A few names from a list recently
made out will at least prove suggest
Ave, and will give n better idea Of the
method of carrying out the plan than
would many words of description:

AS each guest arrives some sort of
souvenir bearing his or her name Is
pinned below the left shoulder. These
souvenirs may be as plain or as elab-
crate as the hostess chooses to make
them. A piece of paper with the name
written upon it serves the purpose as
we'll as a hand-painted OF a silver
mounted affair.
At any time the hostess chooses slips
of paper, each of which contains the
synonym of name. are passed to the
guests. They are told to try to find
the names which they represent.
Another plan is to have complete
list 7f the synonyms made out for
each guest, and then each one must
keep his own counsel and fill in as
many of the names as possible.
There are various ways in which the
fist may be put to account in furnish
ing part of an evenings entertain
ment, and hostesses will be able to
adjust it to suit their particular pur-
pose if they study its possibilities

Take Care of Your Teeth.

In the large cities we have dentist
for about every 2000 persons, and
many of these are driven with work
No doubt every one would have his
hands full if every person who needed
could afford their services; while prob
ably one-half the present number of
dentists would suffice for the rising
generation if all parents would re-
quire sufficient chewing exercise
throughout their children's growing
period, themselves setting the exam
pie of giving the teeth fair play before
1t is too late.
Use your teeth at every meal, give
them crusts and hard things to chew,
If possible brush them after meals,
but surely before going to bed; use
some antiseptic wash to prevent alb
scesses and retard decay, and consult a
first-class dentist twice year.-Amer-
lean Queen.

To Relieve Toothaclie.

Eight out Of ten cases of toothache
can be relieved by getting some bread
soda, bicarbonate of soda, not baking
powder-dusting it on a piece Of cot
ton wool, and placing this in the cav
ity. If all the teeth ache together the
cause is generally acidity of the mouth.
In that case dissolve the soda in warm
water and wash the teeth with it. You
will be well in an instant.

The farmers should not be dcluded
into planting big crop Of cotton on
account of the high price at the ex-
pense of full corn crop. A good rule
to follow in this section at all times,
it matters not what the price Of cotton
may be, is to plant.a;sufficient amount
OF corn to keep the corn crib full on
the farm and then grow all the cotton
you can. We have preached this doc,

served that the farmers who follow it
