Danger In Enamel.

Just now there is much alarm in
many establishments concerning kltch-
en- utensils. 1t is said that many OF
the enamel and porcelain lined goods
are dangerous on account of certain
combinations with chemicals and acids
and heat which will produce a melt
ing of the glazed substances and thus
introduce into the stomach poisons
resulting in appendicitis. 1t is we'll
known fact that before the modern
kitchenware was introduced appendi-
citis was almost unknown, and people
ate just as many grapes and other
fruits and vegetables with seeds as 1T
present. In Paris the restaurants and
many Of the private kitchens are sub
jected to visitations from the health
authorities, and even the old fear Of
being poisoned by food cooked In cop
per fades away when the present dan
ger is considered.-Philade Ledg

Picked Lemons.

In case any one should like to try
picked lemons here is recipe by
which to make them:
Choose dozen nice, sound lemons and
slit the rind up into four quarters, but
do not break the fruit. Fill the cracks
with plenty of salt and set them up
right In a deep pan in warm place
till the salt melts. Turn the lemons
very often and baste with the liquor
till they are tender. 1t will take about
a week for them to become soft. Then
drain off the liquor and put the lem
ons in a jar. Meantime boil the liq-
uor with two quarts Of vinegar, half
pound of bruised ginger, a quarter of
q pound Of mustard seed, q quarter Of
pound of black pepper. When it boils
pour it over the lemons and when cool
tie down. This pickle will keep for
years, but it ought to be stored some
months before using

THE CULT OF BEAUTY.
1t Is Every Woman's Duty to Make
the Best of Herself.

OF course there is nothing new in the
cult of beauty-thc only novelty lies
in the cNtravagant fashion in which
new inventions are applied to il. Eiec-
trio baths and vibration treatment mas
be innovations. but cosmetics and med
icatrd baths date from the earliest
ages. Women have always aspired to
be beautiful and have painted their
faces and tired their heads" since
time immemorial and in all countries.
Mixed bathing in tubs of water
thickened with scented bran and salu-
tary herbs was the fashion in medi-
Hval France and recalled the days of
Roman luxury. Vapor baths date from
an even earlier period.
The question is Are women really
any more admired today for being
steamed and smeared and electrified? :?
is any attraction worth having which
is obtained by the painful and expen-
Nobody is really taken in by the arti-
ficially manufactured beauty.
1t is the duty of every woman to
make the best of herself. Certain de
fects of complexion and figure can be
easily remedied. Physical exercises,
fresh air and good diet will work Won
ders with those, and by the addition of
smart dressmaker, milliner and clev-
er hairdresser many plain girl has
been transformed into pretty one.

OSTRICH FEATHERS.
HoSv to Clean Them ut Home md
Have Them Nice and Fluffy.

Hardly any W0luan who OWNS IN os'
trieh feather thinks Of washing it at
home" Henry u. Surblcd tells me.
"SHc believes the cleaning of the feath-
er involves some intricate and delicate
process and is Withal such u delicate
matter that It can only be accomplished
by Il professional cleaner. But, if she
only knew it. cleaning an ostrich feath-
or is not any more difficult than clean
ing Il bit OF lace. All there is to II Is
the knowing how, and that it what III
tell You.
"A Suds of soap and lukewarm water
must be prepared, and then the soiled
feather should be dipped into it and
drawn through the hands a few times,
as often as necessary, until the feather
appears clean. Under no circumstances
should it be allowed to remain in the
soapy water. Just dip it in and then
draw it through the hand to squeeze
the water and soap from it before dip
ping it in again. If 1t is very dirty It
ought to be washed in two sudS; then
when the cleaning process is over it
must be rinsed through several bowls
of clear. cold water, the rinsing method
being the same as the cleaning, dipping
the feather in the water and then
drawing it through the hand.
when it is Thoroughly rinsed it must
be drawn through the hand repeatedly
until it is about dry; then it should be
placed on the thigh and slapped with
the hand to bring it out fluffy. That is
the whole operation. The fulfilling of
the feather may require q little prac-
tice, and it would be we'll to clean a
poor feather before taking a more ex-
pensive one through this course of home
cleaning in order that the necessary
deXterity, a thing that readily comes to
one, may be obtained st Louis Globe

CHILDREN'S EARS.
Those That Protrude Can BE Cor
rected With n Little Care

Those That Protrude Can BE Cor
rected With n Little Care.
Small, shapely, pretty ears are, of
course, in a minority, but nature shows
such a remarkable capacity in varying
her original design that you must par
don her for occasionally turning out
some rather grotesque specimens. How
are his ears?" nurmured pale young
mother when her firstborn was laid
beside her And this was the same
particular parent who, when the child
was older, made him wear at night a
tiny cap to correct the winglike ears
he had inherited from his grandfather.
This gentle hint was taken in good
part by Dame Nature. for the boys
handsome head is not dsfigured by
gig lamps" as he irreverently terms
the ancestral eXcreScenceS. Few moth
ers ever think of thus improving their
children physically. but it would be an
excellent scheme if they did. 1t is not
so much the size of the outer ear as its
relation to the other features that
makes or mars personal appearance.
Ears that protrude can always be recti-
fed in YOUTH when flesh and gristle
are plant and one of these days. when
mankind determines to be wholly beau
tiful, art and science will be invoked
to aid in improving youthful misfts
and even remodeling maturer defects.

Far Bad Figures.

A narrow, hard bed is said to be the
best preventive of bad figures. If one
can also forego pillows. so much the
better. Women with round shoulders
and double chins have a means provid-
ed for their cure if they are heroic
enough to give up the downy couch in
which they revel. When one thinks Of
it, the place and position in which one
spends a third Of every twenty four
hours must have an effect upon the
figure

That Daily Rest.

. Housework is not drudgery unless 1t
is made SO. No work is. for that mat
ter. Cheer up, 60 at it wholesomely,
and the wrinkles will smooth out Of
your face, while your mouth ceases 10
droop at the corners. Nine out of ten
houseworkers make their work far
harder than it need be. Perhaps you
find no time to lie down except when
night comes. There are very few wo-
men, however, who can honestly say
this. Almost every one can take at
least fifteen minutes in the middle Of
the day, when the lunch dishes are put
away, for quiet rest fat on the back.
If you think there are no such fifteen
minutes to spare, hunt for them.

Onions eaten raw, with bread and

the nervous woman, who is generally
inclined to lie awake of nights and to
wake up at dishearteningly early

to take off the raw, crude taste, and
have the bread thin and a good deal Of
butter. Talking of nervousness. there

VALUE OF SHREDDED FODDER.
More Beneficial to Stock and Costs Much
Less Than Hay.

Ask men who have made prac.
tice of feeding shredded fodder

you that they feed 1t because
their cattle, horses and sheep like
1t so well, and thrive so we'll up.
on it, and because they cannot af.
ford to let it go to waste and feed
hay which could be sold for two
or three times as much as the
prepared fodder costs. When
the fIrmer computes the cost of
cutting and shreddlng his fod-
der 1t looks high, but he must re-
member that, although 1t does
cost him from S2.50 to $3.50 per
ton, it takes the place of hay
which has a market value of from
two to three times that amount.
Men who have made practice of
feeding shredded fodder state
that it costs from SO to s. an acre
to prepare it, and that an acre of
average corn will yield from one
and one.half to two and one-half
tons of dry fodder. They say
further that q ton of fodder has
as much or perhaps more feed
value than a ton of average hay.
Corn used for shreddlng is bound
and shocked VIII IN the grains are
well dented and glazed over, but
before the shock has shown much
signs of ripening. When thor
oughly dry 1t is run through the
husker and shredded and slowed

cost Spain the enormous sum Of
564 million dollars.
Philip Ill. was no better than
his father, and kept on bringing
RUIN and disgrace upon the once
powerful and glorious Spain.
Listening to corrupt ADVISORS, he
forbade the ships of the new re-
public to enter the ports of Spain
and Portugal; and as the Dutch
were dependent on these ports
for their East India merchandise
it came near running their COM
merce. In this state of affairs
the brave Dutch seamen sought
and found their way to India
themselves with their own ships,
and soon monopolized the whole
of the East India trade, to the
great loss Of Spain. The Dutch
East India Company, beng form.
ed now, got the monopoly Of all
the commerce east of the Cape OF
Good Hope by paying a yearly tax
to the states. From now on Dutch
ships controlled the seas, and
nearly crushed all Spanish and
Portuguese commerce, which
gave the last stroke TO the decay
ed empire of Philip IL.
So it came to pass that the King
of SPAN, as'well as Duke Albright
was eager (through the kindness
of Henry w. to make a treaty of
peace with the United States of
Holland which secured to Holland
independence, religious freedom
and direct commercial inter.
course with India (l609).
The succeeding wars with Spain
always ended to the advantage Of
the Dutch, so that at the "Peace
of Westphalia" the independence
of the United States of the Neither
lands was established by the
powers (i648).

THE SPRING EXAMINATIONS.
Superintendent Barton Tells OF the Result
OF Graded Work in the Schools.

There were thirty applicants
this year for graduation from the
common schools of the County,
representing seven townships,
distributed as follows: nine from
Licking Creek, four from Brush
Creek, three from Belfast, two
from Thompson, two from Union,
two from Wells, and eight from
Taylor.
The examinations were con.
Quoted with great care, and we
wish to thank the examiners for
their efficient services.
lu most cases the applicants
reflected credit to themselves
and to their teachers. Much
more uniformity was found in
the work than was found a year
ago.
Some who fell short of the
passing mark last year, and who
have since pressed on IN school
work, have this year passed
among the strongest applicants
in the County.
have not been able to exam
inc all the papers but am conf
dent there will be but few fail
ures IN this years classes. J
will suggest, however, that most
of the applicants should spend at
least another year IN the common
schools; and then, if possible,
pass on to a higher institution of
learning. Do not be content with
simply common school diplo-
ma: you will need more than
this, and the world will require
more of you. Seek the best pos
sible education you can get seek
it not as matter of dollars and
cents--not simply that you may
be able to make q living-but
that you may know how to live.
