in New York hire cabs less often than men

THE mild drinks that women set up for

Perhaps it is the sturdy independence
of American life that accounts for this

their husbands and fathers, unless the

loosely coil and arrange the long strands

In Training Children.

Mother: In a limited space only few
essential points i'm child training can be
given, but you will find the hints valuable
If you will act upon them. Offensive table
manners seem TO be natural to the majority
of children, and this fault should be taken
in hand early in their careers. Correct man
ners should be taught and enforced as soon
as children are old enough 10 sit at the
table Very young children must receive
oral instruction, as well as example. until
their small minds grasp the ideas, and how
and when to apply them; this may seem
tiresome TO carry on daily, but IL must be
done to produce results. To overcome the
continual breach of good table manners on
the part of older children, and save con-
tinual correction, / suggest that you write
long list of correct forms, and insist that
they be memorized; then there viii be no
reason for such fippant excuses as Il for

keepers are constantly coming in contact
with dust and other things which tend to,
soil the hands while they may seem reason
ably clean to the naked eye; hence i claim
that women should wash their hands sew
eral times daily, using plenty of soap and
warm water; washing does not age the
hands as many people think. Always rinse
the hands in cool water after washing, and
dry thoroughly soft towel. Obtain a
reliable cream, and apply TO the hands dur
ing the day, rubbing il in well after wash
ing, wiping away all surplus with clean
towel Before retiring cleanse the hands
and rub with cocoa butter, and then dust
freely with almond meal. Wear loose
gloves, perforated at the back and palms at
night. In month you will observe a

parties are still securing the woods In
the vicinity of Nanaimo, in the almost
hopeless hope that Alfred Baker will
still be found alive. Baker has been
missing since Thursday last. He went
hunting then, and Separating from his
companions near the Nanaimo lakes
agreed to meet them late in. the after
noon at a selected point. He was not
there, nor has any word since been had
of him. 1t is feared that he has either
perished from exhaustion or been de-
voured by bears, of which there are
many in the hills in that locality. Hall
a dozen venturesome hunters have
been lost this year in the vicinity Of
Shawnigan lake, but all of these have
been found after two or three days
exposure on the hills.
