NEW YORK, May 1s.-A piece of

CHILDREN AT PLAY.
II Is n Good Plan to Leave rhem 'o
Their Own Resources.

Children are often made irritable and
troublesome TO their too attentive anu
anxious mothers. y child should be
let alone to play and amuse ltsell III ITS
own fashion without constant dlrec-
tions from its mother.
Any one who has watched a chlld at
play, either boy or girl. VIII soon uiS-
cover that a large number ot us eaihes
are purely matter Of Imagination anu
that its pet toys are not those WHICH
its. elders would choose for 1t, but are
of the simplest description. which only
the Imagination of Il child could make
attractive.
A fussy mother by insisting on her
small son walking properly will Of
ten spoil the most delightful game or
pretend" in which the child VIII re-
produce as far as possible all the kick
inEs and prancins Of restiYe horse.
Thus she spoils innocent and healthy
enjoyment, and by hindering his imita-
ton of the manners and customs OF
horse in his play size discourages the
child from making use of the faculty
of observation a faculty which once
repressed will with difficulty be reused
when needed for the practical work of
life.
Toys Of a ehilds own choosing and
Wy often of its own making are the
best for it. and they need not be nu-
merous. It Is good plan TO leave the
tots to their own resources in play.

CARE OF THE PIANO.
The Way to Bleach the Keys when
They Become Yellow.

The Way to Bleach the Keys When
They Become Yellow.
Many people who keep their pianos
carefully closed find that the keys be-
come yellow. Because dust is injuri-
GUS to a piano 1t Is a common belief
that the piano should be closed when
not In use This is a mistake. The
majority of pianos made today are
constructed so that dust cannot easily
penetrate them even when they are
open. Keys turn yellow from lack of
light, and piano should be open the
larger part of the time.
There Is nothing like strong sun
shine for bleaching yellowed piano
keys. Rub the keys with powdered
pumice stone. moistened with water,
and then draw the piano up before a
sunny window while the keys are still
moist The woodwork OF the piano
should be carefully covered. This
bleaching Is a slow process and may
need to be repeated several times be
fore the keys assume their original
color.
Some housekeepers have bleached
the keys of their pianos to a beautiful
white by simply letting strong sun
shine rest fully on them hour after
hour and day after day.

FlATlRONS.

Improve With Age.
Flatirons in the average household
are too often sadly neglected. They
are very apt to be left on the back of
the stove. where they can never be-
come thoroughly cold and where In
time they lose their power to regain
heat Like all iron and steel instru-
ments, they possess that peculiar quail
ity called temper. Irons that are heat
ed to Il high temperature and then, as
soon as the worker is through with
them. put in a cool place, to become
thoroughly cold. will last many years
Irons grow more 7aluable with time
If good care in some other respects is
taken of them For instance, they
should be kept in dry place, where
they are not subject to rust or mois-
ture.
Flatirons that have lost their tenn
per and become rusted or roughened
should be disposed of and not left to
take up valuable space on kitchen
shelves. New irons cost little, and it
is poor economy to use old ones that
are past their usefulness.

Keeping down the stocking basket Is
the problem which confronts the wom-
an who las h do the darning for a
family. If ther,, are small boys with a
fondness for playing marbles and
climbing fences she will find her la
bors much lessened if she gives up
darning altogether and takes to mend
ing instead. The tops of half worn
stock ings similar to those in use should
be put away for this purpose. From
these pieces matching in grain may be
placed under incorrieble holes, the
edges trimmed away and the goring
neatly made by what is known as
cashmere darning. When properly
done it is almost impossible to detect
the repaired place.

SAVED BY A WARNING
ALARMED BY NUMBNBss, PAIN AND
LOSS OF VITALITY.
MIRA. Pember Escapes shock and Is Cured
of Rheumatism and Debility by
DR.. williams pink Pills.


A few years ago the happiness of Mrs.
Lucretia A Pember, of % Lebanon ave-
nue., Willimantic, Conn, was disturbed
by constant fear of q paralytlc shock An
annoying numbness had appeared from
time to time in her left arm and this, in
connection with generally debilitated
state, she regarded as a signal OF danger.
1t caused her great anxiety and finally
led her to adopt a course by which she
WAS relieved not only from the dread OF
a shock but also from other serious in
references with her health. She gives
the following account of her experience:
For several years | had q numbnsss
in my left arm. 1t did not stay there
all the time, but would go and come
again. Sometimes there would be sharp
pain. Every time it came it suggested
a paralytic stroke and alarmed me
greatly. I also had rheumatism in my
left knee which was swollen aud very
painful, and caused me TO be laid up in
bad for long time. l WAS very thin too
and colorless and lacked vitality.
The doctors gave me but little relief,
and that little lasted only short time.
So, when a relative told me about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, I
was quite ready to give them a good
trial.
They certainly did wonders for me.
They drove away the numbness from my
arms and delivered me from the fear Of
shock that am sure would otherwise
have had. They also CURED my rheuma-
tism and debility. | still take them in
small doses as general tonic, and l
cannot recommend them too strongly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have effected
many remarkable cures in cases Of par
tial paralysis, and even such rs are SO.
verely stricken should not despair.
Those, who like Mrs. Pember recognise
the approach of the disease, may use
them with the utmost hopefulness. Her
case proves also their peculiar value as
blood remedy. Rheumatism Is a blood
disease, and her debility too, as shown
by her thinness and lack of color, was
due to impoverished blood. Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills mako new blood and
sound health follows. They are sold
by all druggists throughout the world.

KITCHEN BRUSHES.
They Shoald he Numerous and
should BE Properly Kept

Every kitchen should be literally
supplied with brushes There should
be a scrub brush for the vegetables,

one for the sink and another for the
stove.

brush will be found great conven-
ience. rs It can be used for busting
cupboard drawers and shelves. a
narrower. smaller soft brush should
be kept for brushing flour from bis
cults. cookies. pies, etc.
What to do with the brushes is an
other question which haunts the care
full housewife. If they are left m the
sink they are always water soaked; If
they hang against the wall their drip
pings leave ugly streaks upon the
woodwork; II they are thrown promis-
cuously into drawer they are likely
to make a sorry looking drawer For
keeping the stove brush and the other
scrubbing brushes for cleaning pur-
poses a zinc lined drawer six or eight
inches deep can be fitted under one
end of the sink. The zinc drawer can
be kept clean and wholesome. as 1t can
be washed frequently and after wash
will be as clean as If new. For the
softer brushes those used In freeing
the food from -four marks and those
used In cleaning vegetables an ordina-
~ wooden drawer will suffice. 1t is
always well, however, to line all draw

Every mouthful of meat should be
vigorously masticated. IL children
could be sent to IL chewing school ms
they are now sent to kindergarten,
there would be a marked improvement
in the race, says a we'll known doctor
who has made n special study of the
subject And he goes on to say that
ito produce strong teeth is almost as
simple a matter as to produce strong
arms"
Children should be accustomed to
vigorous mastlcation by practice three
times day. and the habit thus formed
will not be forgotten. BY such a sys-
tenn of training bills for dentistry will
be reduced, the child's teeth will be
come strong and we'll polished, and
there will be distinct enlargement Of
the jaw and strengthening Of the
facial muscles. There can be no exag-
geratlon of the marvellous results
achieved by vigorous mastication."
