catarrh Of the Stomach.

When the stomach Is overloaded;
when food Is taken into 1t that fails
to digest, it decays and infiames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands to Sc
crete mucin, instead of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called Ca

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

My head is bloody, but unbowed!

EFFECTIVE EXERCISE.

In all effective exercise care must
be taken to hold the body in good
poise, so that habit Of dignified, ef-
fcient poise is being established for
general use. Every exercise must be
taken fully throughout the entire body.
and in good order, beginning with full
breathing and full motion. proceeding
from the chest to the neck and head,
throughout the arms and hands and
all the muscles of the body, to the legs
and feet. Every motion, besides being
full, uninterrupted and gradually Or
successfully well ordered throughout
the body, should also be naturally
rythmical. That is to say, motion to be
good exercise should never jar nor
jerk. It should be taken in time as
slow as seems instinctively comforta-
bic to the individual when the motion
is oft repeated.
The exercise of our daily work, when
taken vigorously, persistently and with
the thoroughgoing efficiency Of fine
motion will serve excellently to keep
our size normal, our ':looks'' well "up
to the mark and our condition gener-
ally capable and well and happy

FOR THE PASTRY COOK.

To get a fine grained cake, beat thor
oughly after the flour is added. Sweet
milk makes cake that cuts like pound
cake. Sour milk makes spongy, light
cake. Always sift -four before meas
uring, then it may be sifted again with
the baking powder to insure their being
thoroughly blended. In making fruit
cakes add the fruit before putting in
the -four, as this will prevent it falling
to the bottom of the cake. Flouring
the fruit is unnecessary, unless the
fruit is damp.
If cake cracks open while baking.
the recipe contains too much -four. In
creaming butter and sugar, when the
butter is too hard to blend easily warm
the bowl, and if necessary warm the
sugar, but never warm the butter, as
this will change both texture and flavor
Of the cake. The smaller the cake the
hotter should be the oven. Large, rich
cakes require very slow baking. Grease
cake pans with lard or drippings, as
butter will be likely to make the cake
stick, owing to the salt in it.-Pittsburg

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

The woman who would have pretty
hands. in the first place. has her gloves
made to order, if she can afford it. If
not, she buys gloves that are a little
too large rather than too small. She
regularly manicures her own hands
and if they have become misshapen
by wearing tight gloves she consults a
skilled masseur and has the trouble
renedied. Massage twice week With
cold cream will do wonders toward pro
ducing beautiful soft hands.
\ few exercises will also serve as in
dispensable help toward promoting
grace of finger and wrist.
Stand with the arms at right angles
with the body and the palms of the
hands downwards. Bend the hands up
and down with the wrist as a pivot.
Continue this exercise until the hands
are only slightly tired. Next close the:
hand tightly, then throw out the fingers
quickly, spreading them apart at the
same time These two exercises pro-
duce suppleness and ease of the move
nents of the hands.
Tight sleeves are as injurious as tight
gloves, and produce large, swollen, red
veins and dark skin.
Wash the hands in warm water and
use pure soap.-American Queen.

THE BRIDAL VEIL.

The fine French tulle veil is more the
vogue for summer brides than the
heavier veil of lace. 1t lends itself
easily to graceful drapings, and is
much more appropriate to wear with
the wedding gown of filmy material.
The bridal veil is no longer worn over
the face unless there is some individual
reason for preferring it.
There are many varying ways of ar
ranging the bridal veil Of this year.
but perchance one of the smartest is
to have the veil formed in q Mary
Tudor cap. The tulle is shirred on
white silk cords, shaped to the head in
a cap form, and is held in place with
two cabochons, one at each side of the
head. These flower cabochons need
not necessarily be of orange blossoms;
tiny wreaths Of white forget-me-nots
or lilies-of-thevalley, gardenias or
white violets may be used.-Woman' S

The City Editor.

The position Of city editor, says the
Taunton Gazette, is no sinecure. The
man who follows up the haps and mis-
haps, the sins and sorrows Of his fellow
citizens can pile up enemies much
faster than he can friends.
He is the one who has to stand for
all the ''locaI' in a paper, no matter
if he never saw it until it came out
in print; and, as but few people IN
derstand the divisions of newspaper
departments, the work Of the editorial
writer's is often charged to him when
it crosses the grain of some one who
winces, whether there is good reason
for it or not.
For the kind words he says, the
burial of tragedies in domestic ana
social life which come into his sphere
and are not allowed to be aired because
thew would wreck families and break
hearts, he seldom or never receives
thanks.
The politician forgets the boost"
and compliments and remembers only
the grudges, and the average citizen
Is usually as oblivious to any obllga-
ton.

In folding any sort of coat first lay

wear, says Toilettes, are made much
shorter than formerly. This is the
definition Of the fashionable skirt:
It touches the floor in front, is very
little longer at the sides, and lies three
OF four inches on the floor at the back.
The walking skirt proper must escape
the floor all around.
For the walking skirt, now called
sidewalk skirt, there is no more grace
full model than the sunpleated or sun
burst skirt, which is very full at bot
tom. without bulkiness at top. Care
must be taken in the choice of mate

inclined to stretch the all-important
evenness OF length is almost impossible
to preserve; the pleats, like the folds of
