Liquid oxygen.

Liquid oxygen when first formed Is
milky in appearance owing to the pres
ence of some impurity which may be
removed by passing it through ordi-
nary filter paper. When pure, it Is of
pale blue color, which, however, is
not due, as some have thought to the
presence of liquid ozone, which is of a
dark blue color. Liquid oxygen is a
nonconductor Of electricity, but is
strongly magnetic. 1t may be lifted
from cup by presenting the poles of
strong electro magnet. 1t seems to
have very slight chemical activity,
since it will extinguish a lighted match
and has no action on a piece of phos-
phorus dropped into it. 1t is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen, and
from experiments on the top of Mont
Blanc it is thought they are largely if
not wholly due to the oxygen in the
earth's atmosphere. Professor Dewar
showed that these lines come out very
strong when liquid oxygen is inter-
posed in the path of the rays from an
electric lamp.

To some minds it appears that the
daughters are not always as careful of
their parents as they should be. The
danger of being abused. Once her
daughter comes upon the stage in long
skirts the former abdicates. All the
household shapes itself for the girl,
and she takes this as her right This
good mother let's her lie abed in the
morning, and then has warm break
fast for her when she gets up. The
mother stays home from the play in
order that the daughter may go. She
gives up society and makes over her
old gowns SO that the young woman
may go out every night and have more
new frocks. When there are men call

er stays at home. Sometimes the young
woman takes d money getting position,
works during the day, plays the lady
in the evening and spends her salary
on herself while the mother stays
closer at home than ever and does the
drudgery. If you will think over the
women you know, you will find that
in all of these ways, or in several or
them, the mother is the slave Of the
daughter. Woman's Home Companion.

Prominent Part She May Take In the

The woman of leisure who wakes up
to her possibilities must begin by train

Let her leave to man the making Of

largely exchanged for hers Some one

both are fighting for supremacy in the
child's mind. If she is not sane and
wise and has no vision of the family,
the nation, the world that should be,
if she has no philosophy of life and is
too apathetic to work to get one, she is
of all endowed creatures most con-
temptible and pitiable. For the saliva.
ton of her own family, the standard of
life and thought of the larger class Of
women with less leisure and the phys
ical conditions of the largest class, with
no leisure, largely depend on her.
If the brain power that goes into
whist were put on the school question,
or the time spent on learning to say
nothing in French were put into the
study of ideas in the field of economics
or sociology or American history, to be
expressed in clear English; if half of
the energy spent on horse shows, golf,
teas, dances and other amusements,
harmless only when one does not gorge
on them, were spent on coming face to
face with real producers in tenements

Elements several things would happen.
The ambitious, fretful woman who is
driving her husband to forgery or di-
vcrce court; the woman who finds life q
busy bore. monotonous, irritating ka-
leidoscope, and the sweet little lady who
thinks herself too small and helpless
even to venture to try to get an opinion
on the big questions over which her
supposedly wise husband shakes his
head, would all begin to get the joy of
real power. Men absorbed in the tech
nicalities Of one business would gladly
learn from such wives some other as

Embroidered Linen.

To launder embroidered linen make
suds with fine soap and warm water.
Do not soak rub or wiring the piece,
but squeeze the suds through and
through it until 1t is clean. Rinse in
clear water and dry between towels.
1t is well not to expose embroidery to
the air while it is wet, and it should
never be dried in the sun, nor should it
be folded or rolled while it is damp.
Before it is entirely dry iron it on
piece of thick flannel on soft, padded
board. Lay the embroidered side down,
cover it with dry cloth, over that
place wet cloth and press with a
moderately hot iron. Instead of fold
ing it, roll it on large, round wooden
stick.

WOMEN
Fashions and Domestic Economy

hare no natural gift except sturdy
manhood, which every one must learn
to respect, and it would be madness for
one brother with his practical, every
day ideas to argue against the other,
who may seem to him but Eighty
dreamer.
There is room enough in the world
for all kinds and conditions of men
and women, provided always that they
are honest and true. 1t is mothers
duty especially to study the inclinations
of her children, to curb no good aspi-
ration, to check no useful talent, how
ever mediocre it may seem to her. 1t
may be the stepping stone to something
higher.
A mothers life must be of necessity
a concession in little things, continual
sacrifice. A happy family life of many
members cannot be maintained unless
there are concession and sacrifice on the
part of every member. And in small
way the family life is an epitome OF
the life of the great world outside.

The Forgetmenot.

Everybody knows the pretty little
forgetmenot and likes the flower more
perhaps because of its name than its
beauty. How was it so called? The
Germans account for it by quite a pa
thetic romance. 1t seems that once up
on a time knight and a lady We're
walking by the bank Of the Danube
when the latter asked her gallant gay"
to pluck for her a tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.
No sooner said than done, but the
knight, overbalancing, fell into the riv-
er and, owing to the slippery nature Of
the bank and the weight of his own ar
NOR, was carried away by the current
AS he threw the flowers ashore to his
lady he cried out with his last breath,
'svergiss mein nichtw C'Forget me not"
And ever since the flower has been
looked upon as the emblem of fidelity.

Using Powder.

Many persons aver that powder is
ruinous to the complexion. You will
occasionally meet old ladies with skins
Of baby textures who will tell you that
they have used powder all their lives.
But their powder was the simplest prep
aration, just little magnesia and zinc,
perfumed with orris root. If the skin
needs extra care, quarter of lemon
squeezed in a little milk will be found
very beneficial. The face should be
bathed in it morning and evening. If
possible, the face should never be wash
eel in water. Soap should only be used
at night. 1t is a good plan after wash
ing the face with soap to use the curd
of lemon and milk, letting it dry on the
skin

Echoes From Elliott.


The conservation meeting is as old as
the Bible.
Happy the man whose hands are
just full of service.
Some people work harder to escape
work than they would work IL they
did work.
It's the overflow" of your life that
will make you a blessing.
We must FILL up on something. Some
people try to put in a little religion and
a good deal of the world, and it makes
very bad filling.
Many Christians are spiritually
"balky."
We may consecrate ourselves and yet
withhold our service, and we may rem
der deal of so called service" and
yet withhold ourselves.
God wants an offered service, q
willing service, a service not to men;
to the pastor, the church, the society,
but service unto the Lord.--Rev. DR..

MRS. Esrnn1A Fo1Ts oA11AN.

is Mrs. Estella Folts Callan. She q
the wife Of Frank D. Callan, a promi-
nent Chicago real estate man.
In Strengthening out her distinguished
ancestry Mrs. Callan visited the family
home in Herkimer county, N. Y. She
searched through old, musty church
records and the archives Of the coun-
ty. She rummaged about in the attics
of dilapidated colonial houses, spent
weeks and months In libraries, mined
ancient letters and books from dusty
faded newspapers. 1t was a trying
task, but Mrs. Callan encountered many
interesting bits Of war history and ro-
nance which compensated her for her
trouble.
After she had finally pieced the
whole historical family quilt together
here is what she found:
That her known relatives numbered
900 persons.
That she had nineteen ancestors who
fought in the war of the Revolution.
That one branch of her family has
occupied the Folts or Voltz homestead
In Herkimer county for 1872 years.
With this information Mrs. Callan
applied for membership in the Daugh-
tiers Of Founders and Patriots. To the
president of the organization she sub
mitted proofs that she could comply
with the following requirements for
membership;
1.-THE ancestors must have settled in
this country between 1908 and May Is,
1867.
Admission can be gained only when
the founders were on the paternal side.
"All the ancestors and their success
sive offspring must have been loyal
citizens.
'The applicant must furnish pub
lished records Of the ancestral soldiers
and founders"
All these facts were established by
Mrs. Callan and were finally accepted
as genuine-Chicago Inter Ocean.

when a woman Is Happiest.

Lady Arabella Romily discusses In
an English magazine the question,
"What is the happiest period of wo-
mans life?" She says: Must not
woman wait till her life is nearly over
before she can answer that question
truthfully? For to each woman, mar
ried or maid, the idea Of happiness
must differ according to her tempera-
ment or estate. But in summing up
many examples, in looking back on
beautiful memories, married, think
that the happiest period of woman's
life is the time when she has nursery
full of little children, the baby years"

Kerosene applied with flannel cloth
is most efficacious in removing discol-

These are often occasioned by the min

but more often by the lack of daily
care. In either event brisk applica-

feet on hassock, and says that ironing
by that method is delight. A high
