The Care of the Hands.

This is not the kind of article you
think it is going to be! This is not
something to make your hands white
and soft and dimpled This is not to
care too much for them. Don't care so
much for your hands that you can
not do we'll whatever work you have
to do. Do not save your hands If you
are the daughter and let your mother
wash the dishes-and if you are the
mother do not do all the drudgery to
save your young girls hands from
getting rough. Never consider what
the work is going to do to your hands
Just divide the work as conscience
iously as though you were sharing a
box of candy, being as just to yoursen
as to anybody else, (for that's where
true Justice comes i'm, and ii your
hands get rough look to that after
ward The main thing is to get the
work simplifed as much as possible,
so as to reduce all the toughest work
to the lowest limit-but then, do that
the best it can be done. You will get
more satisfaction out of digging" and
arriving at good resultant putting
on glycerine. lemon juice and water,
equal quantities if you sit
around trying to look pretty. Keeping
clean and being orderly are the best
things on earth to cultivate.

Children Should Be Orderly.

Teach children to be orderly. When
| was very little child my first les
sons begun in being orderly. l had
my own little chair upon which l
folded my clothes and laid them at
night in the order in which | took
them Off My shoes were placed side
by side just in the middle under the
front rung-and whatever | have OF
order now is due to that early train
ing. The boxes where l kept my rib
bons and trinkets were just as tidy as
could be- and | remember how | en-
joyed having them all that way. OF
course, it was started as kind of
game and sometimes my clothes were
named sheep-the white garments
were the white sheep and the others
the colored sheep, and the stockings
were sometimes alligatOrs and the
shoes little bunny rabbits-that all
had to be put to bed. Then for variety
they were changed to birds, ETC., so
that 7 did not realize just what l was
doing, only | knew they must all be
nice and straight and taken care Of.
Any work that children do should
have this element of game attached
to it, There is something about the

other day she wanted to go and play
with another little girl, because, if
she stayed home, her mother would
make her work. The word work"
should be excluded from all CONVEX
sation with children. Don't let them
know it is work, then it will be play
for them.
When children say they don't want
to have anything to do. instead of
scolding them say, every well, dear!
Go over to that chair and sit down.
No! you're not to take your dolly with
you because she will expect you 20
do something for her. Just sit down,
dear. and fold your hanas and don't do
anything-not a thing!" In about
three minutes it won't be at all at
tractive to do nothing. Then say,
"Well, if you would rather sit there,
of course mama is perfectly willing
you should; if you think it would be
nicer to do what I am doing. | will
allow you to help me-" Whatever they
play with, make it part of the playing
to make everything nice afterward.

will start you off with the days work
so we'll as salt sponge bath. I have
recommended it time and again to
draggedtout-looking women, but only
about one-third of them ever try it.
They nearly all say they have not
time In the morning they are so
rushed and there really isn't time.
Just think of it! Not an extra ten min

their health and strength, when we
all have all the time there is! If the
children roar and your husband
growls, never mind-you will be kind.
er in the long run to all of them and
a heap sight Kinder to yourself II
YOU deliberately take that delightful
ten minutes for your bath. Take a
hand wash basin and fill it three
fourths full of cold or luke warm water
preferably cold. Into this put half
a cupful of common salt. Splash the
face and neck we'll and with towel
rinse down the arms. Then see saw
the back and quickly sponge off the
chest and abdomen. Now set the basin
on the floor, first spreading big towel
under it. Put one foot into the basin
and rinse down one leg, then the other.
Dry lightly and slip into your clothes
quickly. Do this every morning AT
the end of a week see what you think
of yourself. poor dragged-out woman!
I heard of the case of a woman who
was literally broken down. She had
taken to her bed and there she stayed,
too weak to move. Well, her husband
heard of an old woman in the next
town who made wonderful cures, so
he went after her. The old woman
came and when the sick woman was
told she was to have salt bath she
said she would not. Well, after some
persuasion she consented. Wet salt
was rubbed first over the arms and
then each member separately and
quickly covered -up-each in turn;
then the body was rubbed with tur-
pentine and each member wrapped in
strips of flannel This was repeated
and on the fourth day the patient was
up. Treatment continued until she
was strong enough to take the salt
baths herself and she was restored to
perfect health. I take the salt sponge
baths myself every day. Occasionally
I leave them off only to find myself
tired out and worn after week or
two. Try them and convince yourself
and if your child is weak and ailing
try salt baths for it.

Fresh Fish Cakes.-When cooking
fish for dinner have mashed potatoes
also, and the cleft over" of both dishes
makes a new one that will be relished.
If you have a lot of mashed potatoes
left over alone a can of salmon may
be opened for the purpose of COM
bining it with the potatoes. Mix the
two together, about one-third fish,
beating in an egg or two, few spoon
fuls of cream, salt and pepper. Beat
up lightly and if too moist add little
flour Drop spoonfuls in hot butter
and fry a nice brown.
Tapioca Pudding.-Soak over night
three tablespoonfuls of tapioca. Take
the yolks of two eggs preserving the
whites for the top. four tablespoon
fuls of sugar (more If you care to
have it quite sweet, one pint and a
half of milk and little lemon extract.
Put all together in baking dish and
bake till custard is done. Beat whites
of eggs, sweeten and flavor to taste.

Jurisprudence.
The constable found Willard busily
engaged in a cornfield and read the
warrant to him. Willard agreed that
it was all right, but pointed to the
work that he was doing and declared
that he could not possibly lose a day
or two by driving to Lincoln and wait
ing for trial. He suggested the use Of
the telephone, and when the constable
somewhat obviously acquiesced, the
two repaired to the farmhouse. Fl
nally they got connection with Justice
Rudolph, in Lincoln, and over the wire
the unique trial was held. The Justice
received a letter later with the fine
enclosed.

is because the apple is bloomless it
