CHILD LORE.

Every child should be taught that
thirst quenching does not depend so
much on the quantity Of fluid that is
swallowed as on the length of time
during which the fluid is kept in con-
tact with the tissues of the mouth and
water. A small quantity of water used
as a mouth and throat rinse will re-
lieve more than q pint of swallowing
hastily. In lot weather, when the skin
is secreting profusely, there is no real
demand on the part of the tissues for
Gquid.
A child's meal hours should be rig
idly fixed and under no circumstances,
save illness, ought food to be given at
other times. The contrary practice
will lead to capricious appetite, now
absent, now voracious. During the
second year Of life there should be five
meals each day. Commencing in the
morning, the hours may be Z, 10, /, 4
and Z.
Watch babys face while he sleeps.
If the eyelids are not perfectly closed,
suspect weakness. If you see a fur
row passing from either side of the
nose round the mouth there is probab-
ly something the matter with stomach
or intestines. A furrow from either
mouth corner, passing outward, may
indicate something wrong with the
throat or lungs. None of these signs
are conclusive, but they are infinitely
valuable in causing a careful parent
to investigate the state of the child's
health.-Philadelp Inquirer.

into coats renders them anything but
cheap.
In squirrel skin garments the heads
of the animals will be utilized and the
matching Of the stripes will result in
effects quite unlike the furs made of
whole skins.
The making Of these small pieces Of
fur into garments is done in Ger
many, where manual labor is much
cheaper than in this country.
Bear, raccoon and fox furs will be
much seen i'll neck stripes, the long
nap making them softening setting
for the face.
Flat stoles and pelerines are to be
much worn, and in muffs the fiat
shape will be the most fashionable,
though dealers are trying to get up
some new shaped affair for the wear
of exclusives.

PAINTED BUTTONS.

Hand painted buttons are to be
much used in the fall and winter. One
charming button is made of white
silk, painted with flower. This makes
a handsome decoration for a reception
or bridesmaids dress, and is button
that can be used upon gowns or even
more full dress distinction, such as
evening toilet. For evening wear the
hand-painted button is set in little
rim of Valenciennes lace gathered
around the button. Lace medallions
are growing in use. One very pretty
arrangement shows a row of circular
pieces of lace arranged across bodice
with narrow strips Of lace connecting
them. Each medallion is centred with
a jewel Philadelphia Telegraph.

Manhattan,s Egg supply.

''The man who could get corner on
the egg market just in little old Man
haitian Island alone" said produce
dealer, could shut up shop at the end
of year and have q good time for the
rest of his life. 1t takes more than
100000 dozens of eggs year to
keep the island in omelets, keggnogs
and other things that can't be made
without eggs. They cost on an aver
age twenty-five cents q dozen for 'em.
That figures up to the neat sum of ST.
100000 all in hard cash. sfs
"Those eggs come from all over the
country. If New York State, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts
should turn over to the Manhattan ISL
and market every egg their hens lay,
they would no more than supply the
demand, so we have to go out West,
down South, and even to Canada to
get enough"

War Balloons.

Some interesting experiments have
just been conducted at Bienne, France,
for testing the practical utility Of cap.
tive military balloons against infantry
or machine gun fire. The Paris CORE
spondent of the Newcastle Chronicle
states that at height of 800 yards a
few rifle volleys sufficed to shatter the
balloon, the range, it should be stated
being known in advance. At an un-
known altitude, varying from HOO to
1000 yards no fewer than twenty-five
rife shots were needed TO fix the range.
1t was only the sixty-fourth volley that
hit the balloon, without, however, do
ing it any apparent damage. The ex-
periments are regarded as showing
that rifle fire is not very effective, even
against captive balloons at uncertain
ranges, and still less against balloons
that are not captive --.---.

Wind-in-the- hair and Rain-in-the-face
Are friends worth the having and yours
at command;
For many's the hour and manys the place
We've frolicked together on ocean or
land
They'll brighten the darks of your gloom
ist mood,
They'll strengthen your heart with their
bolsterous play,
They'll buffet your anger until it's subdued,
Ihey II sport with your sorrow and whisk
it away.
Don't clutch in your curls with that grasp
of despair!
A tear on the cheek is a drop out of
place!
I'll rumple your tresses!" roars Wind-in-

No seyen-league boots like a pair of old
shoes
No wish-cloak that equals rain-beaded
To take you away from the realm of the
blues,
To give you the will that grips care by
the throat!
How petty our griefs under Gods open
sky
How often but ghosts of conjuring
brainl
How quickly they dwindle, how lightly
they fly,
When winnowed and washed by the
wind and the rain!
Then, on with your shabbiest, hardest
wear
(The kind that the womenfolk term "a
disgracep)
And swing down the highway with Wind
in-the-hair,
Or splash through the puddles with
Rain-in- the-face!

HOW A, WOMAN CAN BE POPU-
TAR

isn't it peculiar that very often the
woman who is very popular at a sum-
mer hotel is unpopular when she re-
turns to the city," said the business
woman to her companion. ut seems
to me that she could be just as popu-
| inc that it is summer the year round"
"Some women often wonder why
many of their sex are so popular while
others, who may be blessed with beau
| ty and gracious manners, do not have
the faculty of holding attention." said
the companion. "Can you tell me why
this is?"
"Well, think that the success in So
cial life is only attained if the woman
will Danish all thought of SELF" the
business woman continued. Because
then they study to please and bring out
the very best there is in each person
it is their pleasure to meet. To be
fayorite one must be natural. There
is charm in naturalness, even If
grace and style are occasionally miss
ing. The summer girl is more or less
natural, for she forgets all her bust
ness cares, and that accounts for her
popularity, think"
II imagine the best thing is the pcac-
ticing of sincerity" said the other.
lone ought to try and impress this
thought upon friends and associates.
BY being sincere l don't mean to i'm
ply that one should never joke nor
smile; far from it, All the world loves
a smiling face. Sunshine and happi-
ness win friends"
"Of course, l think that is a pretty
good sentiment, but the woman who
really wishes to be popular ought to
Danish SELF" the business woman as
serted. at is not the easiest thing in
the world to do this unless one hap
pens to know something of the persons
you are with. Here is where tact
should assert itself, and, If one is clev-
err it will not take long to discover
the taste Of any individual. 1t may be
current topics of the day, books, art,
music, or possibly hobby of some ma
ture, and, by the way. it has been said
that the very worst bore of all is the
woman with a fad. I would suggest
that women avoid that.
''It is not given to all women to dis
cover what subject will please the
man who takes her out to dinner. She
can, however, refrain from boring
him by discussing her own affairs or
devoting her conversation to her hob
bies. Many are constantly seeking in
various ways, to polish disagreeable
spots, the sharp, rough edges. To
make intelligent, pleasing conversa-
ton, why not study speech? Perhaps
it is the fashion at the present time to
cultivate eccentricity, which is gen.
orally another name for rudeness. Are
there not certain customs with which
we are to conform, or rules that we
have to follow when out in society?
Well, then, if it means popularity, let
us do it. Don't let any woman be a
bore."-New Haven Register

A MANS BEST FRIEND.

If q man has q good wife he has the
best friend it is possible to have. "a
mans best FRIEND" says Bulwer Lyt-
ton, sis a wife Of good sense and good
heart. whom he loves and who loves
him"
In woman there is at once a subtle
delicacy of tact and plain soundness
of Judgment, which are rarely COM
bined to an equal degree in a man. A
woman, if she be really your friend,
will have a sensitive regard for your
character, honor, repute. She will sell
dom counsel you to do shabby thing,
for a woman always desires to be
proud of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She,
therefore, seldom counsels you to do
an imprudent deed.
A wife best shows her friendliness
by clipping off from her husbands
moral nature little twigs that are grow
ing in the wrong direction. If he says
anything silly she will affectionately
tell him so. If he declares that he will
do something absurd she will find
means to prevent him doing so. If

Y Winifred Marks, demure
WOW young woman with dark
eyes which had way of reading be-
tween the lines.
Its just Rachels extravagant way
of disposing of things that don't suit
her." explained Ida Starr, the third
member of the ''fve-o'clock tea" con-
ference. "The story is rather good,
even if you think the people were
foolish. 1t Is called The UnfaithfuI
Lover and of course that sounds like
Laura Jean Libbey. But it's by that
English woman who wrote THE
Would-Be-Goods' and it is fine because
1t is SO provokingly like life. A girl
and her lover both had the literary
sense, so that they could not bear to
have things happen in a commonplace
and humdrum fashion They met at
an ugly railway station on a freezing
January day and they went to stuffy
little place for tea. Then he said he
had something to confess. He had met
a girl in pink at the Simpsons dance
and had kissed her after supper in
the conservatory. He was awfully
sorry about it and thought he should
tell Ethel, the girl he was engaged to,
about it. But he assured Ethel that
she was the only girl he really loved,
and all that sort of thing. However,
she felt that the only proper thing to
do was to be furious. SO she just
raved at him, although she didn't
mean it, and he grew dignifed and
said 'good-by' leaving her to pay for
the tea. She didn't think he would
stay away, but he went off to South
Africa and died there. Now she is
unhappy ever after and that's the way
the story ends"
! "And l repeat that it's fool Of
story said Rachel, obstinately.
"Lhe people may have been foolish"
argued Ida, "but the story is just as
true as it can be. Ever so many girls
do the dramatic thing and then wish
they had been sensible instead What
would you have done in Ethel's place"
she asked the young critic.
"I-I-well think he was foolish to
tell her in the first place." said
Rachel sit wasn't fair to the girl
whom lie met at the party. Don't you
suppose that Ethel would so and find
out who the girl in pink was and tell
the Simpsons all about what a shame

it," said Winifred, pensively.
"Yes-but what has that to do with
itT'
'Well, of course 1 don't exactly
know, but novelists seem to think that
the conservatory is more than half to
blame for that kind Of thing. 1 don't
know whether it's the maiden-hair
ferns or the palms or the orchids, but
there's something about a conserva-
tory that sets the tender feelings
a-growing." Winifred smiled Ida gig
gled, and Rachel gazed in stern disap-
prevail at both of them.
"Youre-you're talking like Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's poetry" she said
scornfully.
"But other poetry talks that way,
too" continued Winifred. "Look at
Tennyson and his Come Into the
Garden, Maud Do you suppose that
he would have allowed them to go into
cabbages and onions? It's because
poets know human nature that they
send lovers out among the lilies and
roses and mignonette." Winifred took
her B. A. degree at Varsity last June
and the other two girls were some

she added in confusion. He'll think
we're so silly to talk about things like
that"
"He thinks we're silly any way, so
one more instance of feminine folly
won't matter" said Winifred with a
hat on straight. I

ado you mean to say" demanded
her brother, "that any one was so
foolish as to write stuff like that? OF
course woman wrote it, Any man
would know that brother man would
never be so hanged silly as to tell
the girl he was engaged to about an
episode like that"
do you call it merely an episode"
demanded Miss Starr. Jack visibly |
weakened and stammered feebly.
"Well, of course no man would think |

fancee. But it's quite untrue to life, |
I assure you. When mans engaged |
he has something more serious to think |
about than flirting with girls he

But at that moment Mr.. John Ford
caught a wicked CLEAN in the eyes of |
Miss Winifred Marks and he suddenly
several things; first, that
he had become the accepted lover of
Miss Starr two months ago, although
the world was as yet ignorant of the
fact; second, that he had sat out two
dances with Miss Marks at the Island
during one delightful August night.
But the latter lady possessed that
which is of infinitely more value than
the literary instinct or the artistic
the sense of humor, and
merely remarked, with quiet deci-
sion:
