The Clothes Didn't Count.

! oh. for the good old days." sighed
an elderly lady sitting in an intelli
gence office one day recently to &
chance acquaintance.
Il lived in the south years ago, ant
there was none of this eternal worry
about servants. We had slaves then
plenty of them, and if mother wanted
anything, there were two or three
pairs of willing hands to get it for
her They thought the world of her
and, in fact of the whole family. One
old nanny was particularly fond of
me and had charge of my wardrobe.
When the war broke out we were
all fairly well supplied with clothing,
but before those four dreadful years
had passed our wardrobes were pretty
well depleted and all hands set to
work at homespun garments When
my old nanny brought me my first
dress of the homely stuff. l looked at
it and at her in amazement, and pro-
tested that / wouldn't wear the awful
thing. Her words then, as they have
many times since, brought comfort to
my troubled mind.

ton of roads to which the revenue
from this traffic is to go.
The most unexpected defect devel-
oped is in the second class licenses for
the bottle traffic, always the most diff
ficult to deal with, and to be discour-
aged as far as possible, though not
practical to entirely abolish. There
are Sc of these licenses in all, or nearly
a third of the whole number, aside
from the medicinal druggist licenses.
Thirteen towns have no other, and IL
more, or together over a third of the
whole, have no other except beer and
medicinal licenses. Nearly all the
complaint of abuse comes from them.
The fee shouldn't be less than that for
the first class in towns that have but
one license. and in other towns there
should be as much discretion in fixing
the amount as with the first class. And
as the w-breaking seller of this
class is the most difficult of all to
trace, II might be well to require ev-
cry licensee to have his name blown
in the glass or on a label on every
bottle he sells.

Other Accidents.

Harry II. Corkins, well-knowr
resident of this place, died at his
home In this village Tuesday morn
ing, May "a as the result OF an in

time previously. He was holding a
fence stake in position to be driven
into the ground by Frank Watkins,

helve and struck Mr.. Corkins squarely

band. For the past eight or nine
years Mr.. Corkins has been engaged
in the grain business quite extern

Blossom Time.

Good 1t is to be young together,
You, and the world, and the sunny
weather,
Blossom of apple blossom Of pear
Blossoms in orchards and everywhere;
Flowers in the meadow, flowers in

And birds are singing that life is good.
Happy it is to be young together,
You and the rest in the April weather.
Happy blossoming! Yet remember
The fruitage time in the late Septem-
Der;
Harvest Of apple, harvest of pear,
And songs of the fruitage every
where.
Yours be harvest golden and white,
OF loving deeds that are true and
right
Of life all gracious! All, remember
The harvest to reap in the late Sep

Eggs for the Invalid.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic and
is very strengthening. If prepared in
the following way it is really deli
cious drink. Put the yolk of an egg
into dish with teaspoonful of white
sugar and teaspoonful of orange or
| lemon juice, and beat lightly together
with a fork. Put the whites on a plate
and add a pinch of salt; then, with
a broad bladed knife, beat it to a stiff
froth.
Now, as lightly as possible, mix all
together in the DISH then as lightly
transfer it to a clean tumbler. which
it will nearly fill if it is properly made.
1t must not stand in a warm place. as
it soon becomes liquid and loses its
snowy look. Any fruit Juice may be
used in place of orange or lemon.
Another very acceptable way to pre-
pare raw egg nourishment is similar to
the above, with the addition of cream
or rich milk. Use an egg two or three
days old; separate and beat the white
very stiff, adding a teaspoonful OF
sugar and pinch Of salt; beat the yolk
until light and foamy. add a little
sugar. four tablespoonfuls of cream or
rich milk. and any fiavoring best liked
by the patient Put the piled up white
into a dainty dish, and pour the raw
custard over it, having first put enough
Of the white into the yolk to give it a
foamy look Many invalids to whom
eggs are not pleasant have taken
them prepared this way with little
objection.
Z. very delicate baked egg is prepared
his way: Separate, being careful not
o break the yolk. add pinch Of salt
% the white, and beat it very stiff
Pile it upon a saucer that may go into
he oven for a moment make a little
yellhole on top. into which drop the
Tolk: set this into the oven long enough
o give it a delicate tinge of brown;

A Sensible Girl.

Miss Whun Min Liang, the sixteen
year-old daughter of the Chinese am
bassador to the United States, now
residing in Washington. seems to be
a young lady of rare common sense
Judging from some remarks recently
made by her. She says:
Il do not mean to criticise, but
there is one thing that l don't un-
derstand about American girls, and
that is their eagerness to discuss the
subject of dress. Almost the day of
my arrival in this country questions
about the style of dress began to be
put to me, as though that were the
most important of all subjects. In
my country these things are consid-
cred very trivial, and only the inlet
tered women waste time talking Of
them. AS a matter of course, We dress
according to the most approved GUS
tom, and think no more about it,

CARE OF THE EARS.
Best to Let Nature Look Out for the
Inside,


Do not tamper with the ears. Keep
the outside clean, but let nature take
care of the inside. Nature never al
| lows the inside of the ear to become
dirty, and any attempt to help her
in the work only results In injury.
In the lining membrane of the cavity
is an oily yellow wax, so bitter to the
taste that no insect will ever of its
own accord enter the canal, which is
additionally guarded by fine hairs, and
it is only through accident that one
ever gets in it. The quickest way to
get rid of it is to drop a little warm
sweet oil into the cavity, and this Will
either drown it, or frighten it into
crawling out.
Do not try to wash out this wax
1t is very necessary to the healthful-
ness of the ear. Avoid blowing the
nose violently when suffering from a
cold, as this may cause the inflamma-
ton to extend to the eustachian tube,
causing deafness. Children should
not be boxed" on the ears. or sub
jected to nearness to great concus-
sions, such as explosions of gun-pow-
der on holiday occa sions. The con-
cussion may rupture the tender ear
drums" causing irreparable injury.
Sometimes the outer canal becomes
diseased, from measles, scarletina, or.
similar causes, and the wax hardens
INTO Jumps, which seriously affects
he hearing. For this trouble, drop a
little sweet oil, slightly warmed, into
he canal and allow it to remain until
he wax softens, when it can be
washed out with a fountain syringe,
Using about pint-or more-of luke
warm water, very slightly sailed
ess than half teaspoonful to a pint
f water.
Do not syringe the ear out with
oap-suds, and do not allow any in
trument, hard or soft, to be used in
!. If the canal is dry and itching.
rop the warmed sweet oil in it, and l.
ill soon become easy. Scratching the
ar with tooth picks, pins or hair
ins is dangerous, and often induces
isease, if not deafness.
