A Plea For the Hobby.

The individual life needs to be pre-
served in order to give interest and va
riety to the common life. The woman
who follows fad too much is likely to
find herself growing dissatisfied and
fretful as the novelty Of perpetual
change wears off. but the woman with
good, steady. trustworthy hobby has
a permanent means of escape from her
self and from the WEAKNESS OF the
world Selfish? Not at all. unless she
rides it recklessly and without regard
for other peoples gardens. 1t seems to
me that the most useful kind Of selfish
ness is that which keeps ones own In
tellectual and physical life sound and
cheerful and vigorous in order that one
may be able to do some good to the
cherries and helpless. - Henry Van
Dyke.

To stertlize Drinking Water.

Here is a recipe for sterilizng drink
ing water and killing off the typhoid
germ: Put four drops of tincture of
iodine in half gallon of water and per-
init it to stand at least half an hour.
BY the end of that time it will be as
harmless as distilled water. Many per-
sons have not the facilities for making
distilled water. Boiling it also entails
a certain amount of trouble. In either
case the water is fiat and unpleasant to
the taste. The few drops of iodine i'm
part practically no taste to the amount
of water they sterilize, and at the same
time they answer every medicinal pur-
pose.

modern women were very different

Ion now and then with her particular
'orm Of art. There is no denying her

almost uncomfortable. The lips are

One can imagine men obeying ths

thorities in anything we undertake.
"There will be no trouble about that
i have already put a flea in their
ear. They know Who tue baron is and
what the nature of his mission to In

him-naturally it is to their interest
to dispose of this spy who comes to
foment trouble. The question is how
far will they go?'
"You can see some of them again.
Joe"

'sThen we must fight fire with fire.
Since the baron has inaugurated this
system of tactics. we'll give him all hc
wants. His Russian ways don't go

we had him out there. A moose and
the limb of a tree would transport him

the game. sir, but unfortunately we
arc in a country where such enl'gh;'
ened arts are not known. Besides,
the Government would be held respon.
sible for such a public taking-on. 1t
will be better for us to have him trans
ported"
Certainly" remarks Joe, although
he does not yet grasp the idea that is
slowly taking form in the others
brain.
"In order to accomplish that you
and must exercise our minds and ar
range a plan by means of which the
baron will step into trap. We know
his cunning, and whatever is done will
have to be sugar-coated."

SILLY NEATNESS.

One hears so much nowadays about
hygienic housekeeping and sanitary
matters generally that it seems impos'
sible that any woman who can read
ordinary printed matter can fail ia
have some knowledge on this impor-
tant question But for all this it is
certain that the woman whose house
keeping may be described as nasty
nice" and whose methods are of fifty
years ago, has by no means died out
of the land. She fingers here and
there with her old-fashioned preju-
dices and preferences.
She prides herself, it may be, on the
fact that every article of clothing Of
herself or children taken off at night
is carefully folded, one piece upon the
other, before she gets into bed. This
is piece of folly exacted by elders in
past days-a remnant of old-fashioned
early Victorian tidiness. Almost bet
ter the methods of the average man
who filings one garment here and an
other there At least they get some
chance to ventifate. 1t is better still
when clothes are separated and hung
for the night near the open windows.
Then there is the woman who prides
herself upon the face that her bed is
never seen unmade; that before she
goes down to breakfast 1t is immacu.
tatly remade. with it's French bolster
and its starched "shams." and its in
terror, alas! still warm. 1t may be a
radiant piece Of furniture. but all the
same it Is a fusty unhealthy sleeping
place.
Then there is the housekeeper who
goes out against dust as il she were
a London policeman and dust street
gamin. She has but one idea-it must
be moved on" and so with Tapping
cloth or that ridiculous household
utensil, the feather duster, she stirs
it up and whacks it from place to
place, but never learns to gather it up
into a soft duster and remove 1t to
some place where it will not be re-
breathed.
The care of clothes in a closet is
another matter often mismanaged
Every one knows how quickly a ward
robe grows fusty, and the happy day
may come when architects will man
age some method of ventilation for
cupboards other than by occasionally
leaving the doors wide open. In the
meantime. if all clothes are perfectly
cooled and aired before they are hung
up, and if they are carried out from
time to time and hung in the open air
for few hours. this difficulty will be
very largely met
The lives of women who keep the
house will be simplified and sweetened
when they all learn to "use their
brains to save their bodies

FASHION NOTES.

The 1880 or French blouse is the
latest idea in black taffeta coats.
Panama cloth is well-liked stuff
for the separate skirt.
While shirrings are very fashionable
they are notYso effective for wash ma
terials as for wool o: silk.
A new notion is to stitch down the
up and down tucks of skirt around
the hips with horizontal rows of ma.
chine stitching to the depth of hip
yoke
While pronounced color contrasts
are not in favor in this seasons gowns
excellent effects are produced by just
touch of a contrasting tint.
Some of the newest skirts are cut
circular and then lined to retain their
shape.
A small collar finishes the neck OF
many fashionable jackets.
High turnover linen collars, hand.
embroidered, in English effect, held to
gether by gold links, and finished with
soft tie of chiffon velvet, tulle or
coarse woven silk, are very much
worn with separate waists, even with
those of silk null.
Soft messaline ribbon plaitings are
among the newest trimmings.
Chiffon voiles are accorded first
place.
The colored linen gown is to be in
great favor for midsummer vogue, in
fastest shades. like pale green. blue
mauve and yellow.
The so-much-talked-of Religious
plaits." or mems folds" are simpl''
very wide tucks.

Men Who Lasso Ships.

Writing of trip over the Great
Lakes in Harper's Magazine, Louise
Morgan Sill tells of the lariat throw
ers, who are even more skilful than
the Western cowboys.
"One of the most interesting per
sons connected with the lake traffic
is a sort of brother to the landlubber
cowboy" she writes. He is practi-
cally the lariat thrower of these prai-
rielike lakes, but he does not lasso
cattle or anything so trivial. His
game may be wharf or an 5000 ton
freighter, and he never misses his
cast He makes no pretence to any,
thing picturesque, and it is doubtful
if he would care to be so described;
but picturesque he is as he swings the
sell or vice versa.
He may be in trim sailor garb OF
merely clothed in the easy going gar
ments of the man who wears them
merely as a means of covering.
THE lariat thrower is of no partic.
ular nationality. He may be an Amer.
lean or Canadian, Or Irish, or Swe
dish, or German, or almost anything;
but after he has worked awhile on
these vast inland waters the lakes put
their stamp upon him and he becomes
lake man. He does his work with
certain calmness and ease, philo-
sophical mastery of things without
excitement. If you talk with him you
will find that he knows much more
than he seems to know"

LEMON HEALTH HINTS.

No family should be without lemons
III the spring. Their uses, from S
health standpoint alone, are very nu
merous.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache.
Two or three slices of lemon in q
cup of strong tea will cure a nervous
headache.
Lemon juice is better than any drug
or complexion powder for giving per
manent clearness and beauty to the
skin.
Lemon juice (outward application)
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of insects.
A dash of lemon in plain water If
