"Pttch-blendc is but moderately dbund-

of getting radium does not come from
The scarcity OF the uranium in this form,
but because in the uranium the radium
is found in very minute quantities. 10

In the first place, eat beans. They

Cure Of Fever Blisters.

Fever blisters are generally due to,
first malaria, or some disorder of the
stomach. There are other causes, but
the two mentioned are the most gen
eral.
If you fever blisters are from ma
laria, dose up on quinine and a ca
thartic. If from a disorder of the
stomach, look to putting the stomach
in order.
Fever blisters are sometimes caused
on the upper lip by shaving the mus
tache off. The lip is suddenly exposed
and gets~fever in it. If yours are
caused by this, rub powdered alum up
on them, and they will disappear within
tWenty-four hours.

remove all seeds, cut the red part into
cubes. For one quart of these cubes
take 1 pint of water, to which add L

Treatment For COUGHING

A sudden and wearing attack of
coughing often needs Immediate atten-
ton, especially in consumptives and
those chronically i'll. In an emergency
that ever useful remedy, hot water,
will often prove very effective. 1t is
much better than the ordinary cough
mixtures, which disorder the digestion
and spoil the appetite. Water almost
boiling should be slipped when the
paroxysms come on. A cough resulting
from irritation is relieved by hot wa
ter through the promotion of secretion
which moistens the irritated surfaces.
Hot water also promotes expeetoratfon
and so relieves a dry cough

Decorated Plate.

The day of hand painting has not
gone, but in this later generation hand
painting is done in more sensible ways
than formerly. If you are going to
/ hand paint a plate, or a plaque, or any
large object, you begin, not by design
ing, but by getting the plate stamped.
You can take you pate to a deco
rator and get a conventional border
rudely sketched in upon it. Or, if it's
surface be not too smooth, you can
take it to a stamper's and actually
have it stamped.
With your pattern mapped out for
you, you go to work to paint. You will
want to paint in the German colors,
bright blues and vivid reds; and you
must put the new art touch into your
work by placing figures upon it some

One of the nouyeau art plaques was
taken by an ambitious woman to the
studio of a real artist. Paint me some
angels upon the middle said she, land

The artist painted a few angels
quick and the woman called for the
plaque and put the finishing touches
upon it at home. She made u nice
broad curving border, and she did
some handsome decorative scenes in
the open spaces
A large plaque of this kind is orna-
mental when not actually in use. IT
makes a charming decoration for the
dining room and is just the thing for
occasional table use. One hostess in

The Camphor Eater.

1t is surprising what a number of
camphor eaters, there are among the
well-to-do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, give7 a peculiarly
clear creaminess of complexion, and
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit is, moreover very
difficult to cast off, for camphor pro-
duces a mild form of exhiliration and
stupefication, and in many instances
where very large doses have been
swallowed the habit has become a sort
of slavery.
These camphor eaters all have a
dreamy, dazed and very listless air,
and in most of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep, or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking of regular doses, and
[ have seen cases where it has been
almost difficult to tell the effects from
those of alcohol. AS to the complex
ion, if CHASTITY pallor be an inn
provement camphor certainly produces
it.

Branded Pears.

Peel firm but ripe pears. leaving on
the stems Weigh the fruit, allowing
one pound of best graduated sugar to
each pound of pears. Put the sugar
in the preserving kettle with enough
water to just dissolve it. When the
syrup boils put in the pears and cook
until tender enough for straw to
pierce them, then place the pears on
platters. Let the syrup boil until thick
having first added a small bag of spices.
stick cinnamon and cloves, first re-
moving the soft heads from the cloves
The syrup shoul boil very rapidly. In
the meantime fill glass jars two-thirds
full of the pears, then add the brandy
to the syrup and remove at once FROM
the fire. Pour boiling hot over the
fruit, allowing the syrup to overflow the
jars, and seal at once. Allow one pint
of the very best brandy to every four
pounds of fruit.

A Mustard Plaster.

Made according TO the following di-
rections will not blister the skin: Two
teaspoonfuls of mustard, two teaspoon
fuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls Of
ground ginger. Do not mix too dry.
Place between two pieces of old mus
lin and apply. If it burns too much
at first, lay an extra piece of mus
lin between it and the skin; as the
skin becomes accustomed to the heat
take the extra piece of muslin away.

To Clean the Scalp.

For shampooing take cents worth
of powdered CASTLE soap, the same
quantity of boraX, the beaten yolk of
an egg and pint of hot water. Put
this in a bottle and cork it tightly.
When used, rub well into the scalp
and make a good lather. Carefully
wash the hair in several waters, hav-
ing the first water hot and the last one
cool. This will prevent taking cold, if
the hair is dried thoroughly.

some sugar. one teaspoonful to each
cup of juice in the oven, and add this
to the juice when thickened. Pour

cover until cold.
