If pople would study the various
vegetables, fruits, cereals, etc., as to
their medicinal qualities in adjusting
ailments of the human body, they
would rarely ever resort to such meth
oos of relief as taking pills, paregoric
or patent medicines, which only give
temporary relief.

Clear ComnIexiou-

A good circulation is necessary il
one would have a clear complexion
and plenty of exercise in the open all
is needed to obtain it. Sound, restful
sleep will do much to freshen and
brighten the complexion, and this
should be obtained by going to bed
early in a well-ventilated room and
with warm but light covering on the
bed. After the health, diet and sleep
have been attended to external appli-
cations for clearing the skin may be
thought of if necessary, but if the
above rules have been followed there
should be little need for skin food,
etc. If the washing and drying of the
face be carefully attended to the pow
ders and rouge should not be needed.

1t Increases the Rapidly of the Cut
ting Operation.
Many Improvements have been made
in recent years in the grindstone until
the labor of the tedious operation Of
using it is reduced to a minimum, re-
lates a writer in the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The introduction of electricity is
mainly responsible for the change of
the general appearance Of the stone,
as the use Of the current has permitted
the adoption of number Of convent
ences which were not hitherto to be
thought of. 1t is no common thing to
see the grindstone and emery wheel
almost entirely inclosed in a casing
with an electric motor concealed and
protected in the case. Means are pro-
vided for the application of the neces-
sary oil and water as desired and the
cost of the operation of the wheels is
greatly reduced by reason of the fact
that it is such a simple matter to
throw it in and out of operation that
it is maintained in motion only when
in actual use.
Another improvement which has
been recently introduced is the making
of the grinding wheel with teeth.
These teeth take the form of inclined
corrugations on the periphery Of the
stone.
In grinding the corrugations afford
relief and, being inclined, shearing
action is combined with that of grind
ing. The corrugaions are formed on
the wheel by a patented tool, which
may be used without any special fix
ture, requires no unusual skill and
does not necessitate removing of the
wheel, being handled very much as
though it were an ordinary emery
wheel dresser.
The effect of the corrugating is
claimed to be very marked. Numerous
tests have been made with great va
riety Of wheels before and after being
corrugated. These have been used to
grind many different materials under
various conditions and the results have
shown that the corrugated wheel
grinds more rapidly. with much less
heating and with greatly reduced
| tendency to glaze

He drew her to him and kissed her on

with a mere inarticulate rasping of the

The waiting figure was in the street,
and followed him this time without pre-
tense of any concealment. Jethroe drew
out his latchkey at his own door and
entered the house. The sitting room door
was open, and the gas had been lighted
since he had left half an hour earlier.
There was nothing in this to wonder at
but curious vague Importance attached
to it in his mind, and he walked into the
room swiftly. A tall, sun-burned, beard

Jethroe's heart began to beat, though he

There was nothing for it but to yield,

and the nephew listening to him with a

by and by to do some justice to the meal.

Girl Who Is Ashamed of Her Mother.
1t is a sorry day for girl when she
feels herself superior to her mother,
and considers herself called upon to
apologize for her bad grammer, mis-
pronounced words, foreign accent, or
slips in her speech. When girl be-
comes so small and contemplate that
she is ashamed to appear IT, public
with her mother, because she is old
fashioned and dowdy in appearance,
her hands brawny, her face premature
ly wrinkled. and her form bent b. long
years of drudgery for her children, she
is indeed to be pitied. She has fallen
below contempt.
What q return to make the poor
mother for all her self-sacrifice. for the
years of patient trials cheerfully plod-
ded through that her daughter might
enjoy advantages that she, in her
youth, never dreamed Of!
The girls who are ashamed of their
Woodworking mothers are few, happily,
compared with the vast number who
appreciate, and endeavor to repay,
their mothers sacrifices. Still, there
are too many of them-girls who do
not even darn their own stockings,
mend their own clothing, or make their
own beds.

stantly making sacrifices in order that
her daughter may make good appear

cloak and shabby bonnet anotner year;
she remodels for the second time and
tries to freshen up the gown which
should have been discarded last year.
so that the young girl may nave new
ones and appear to as good advantage
as other girls of her age. She drudges
from morning till night, and often far
into the night. so that her DAUGHTER
may have more leisure to practice &C
complishments. or to have good time.
Anything is good enough for the slave
mother. When the tire,. hands should
be at rest. they are busy with some
dainty laundry work, or plying the
needle on some pretty thing for the
girls adornment when she shall make
her next appearance at dance or a
reception. The daughter, meanwhile,
is gossiping about the neighborhood,
or is at the theater or some other place
of amusement. or, perhaps. she sits by
reading a silly story, or STUNNING on
the piano. Should her mother ask her
TO assist her by washing the dishes,
clearing off the table. or doing some
other simple duty. she usually finds
some excuse for getting out of it-Suc-
cess.

Box for the Shirt-waist.

Mistress Whom Servant Respects.
A woman should insist upon being
mistress of her own kitchen. but un-
less she possesses self-control, patience
and tact, she is really just as unfit to
manage her servant as a child. 1t: is
very true saying that a man or WON
an who has not learned to control self
is not fit to control others. If a WON
an cannot go into her kitchen without
losing her patience or losing her tenn
per she would do better to stay out of
it. Fault must be found, but with SER
wants. as with children, it should be in
quiet, dignified way, and a proper
time Should be chosen for it. A WON
an who does not know any better than
to take a time when q servant is par
ticularly busy or has some special piece
of work she is trying to get through,
such as washing, ironing or getting
dinner, will never be likely to have
good service. If she scolds or nags
she at once lowers herself to the level
of her servant. and loses the respect
which every mistress of a house should
strive to deserve from those about her.

women,s Psychic Influence.

Women fittingly educated, spiritual
ly as well as intellectually, must con-
form to their own standards the in
stincts, passions and wills of the men
to whom they are joined in marriage,
and thus, through the exercise of an
intangible psychic influence, they will
in time impart spiritual tone to the
lives of their husbands and fashion
ideal fathers for their children. Wom-
an is the natural character former,
c,ike Of the husband and the son, and
there is certainly conceivable no more
beautiful relation than that which
should exist between two intelligent
beings of opposite sexes who have
linked their lives in the holy compact
which, to those who apprehend the
spiritual side of marriage, even death
may not dissolve.

RADIUM FOR SNAKE BITES.
Venom of Serpents Unable to Endure
Exposure to the Magic Rays.

Venom of Serpents Unable to Endure
Exposure to the Magic Rays.
A recent and most curious discovery
made in connection with the study Of
radium is its peculiar property of de-
stroying the poisonous effect of the
venom of serpents. This was ascer-
tanned in France by Professor G. Phis-
alix. He says that an exposure of from
fifty to sixty hours to the rays of radi-
UNI is sufficient to destroy the poison
Gus character of the poison of the
viper, and the same is true of the poi
son of the cobra, which is interesting
in view of the fact that the latter pod
son resists the action of heat much
longer.
These experiments led to others,
where the radium emanation was en-
ployed instead of the direct action Of
the radium rays, and a glass tube was
filled with per cent solution Of viper
poison to about two-thirds its weight.
The tube was then exhausted and filed
with air containing radium emanation,
after which it was allowed to remain
for twenty-four hours, in the course Of
which time the liquid acquired an
opalescent luster and Il strange odor.
When injected into guinea pig it had
no toxic effect and the only change
noted was loss OF weight by the ami
NAL. BY diluting the poison with dis
TILED water and exposing as before II
was found that the toxicity disappear
ed in six hours, but when glycerine
was used a much longer time was re-
quired
/ The opalesence mentioned is caused
| by suspended particles and the conclu-
sion reached is that the radium eman.
alton acts to decompose al5uminoid
poisons. Inasmuch as the emanation
has no effect on the poisons Of the liz.
ard or the common toad, It Is believed
that new method has been found of
studying the constitution of poisons OF
serpents, which will enable the exper
imenter to discriminate between them.

Human Ashes for Tooth Powder.

For six long years after her hus-
bands death New York woman kept
his ashes in an urn ON the mantel-
piece in her bedroom, and no servant
was allowed to touch the precious con-
tainer. When married to her second
lord and master she placed the urn in
cabinet in the bathroom and forgot
all about it until one day, happening to
enter that apartment unexpectedly, she
surprised her maid in the act of brush
ing her teeth and using the ashes as a
dentifrice. The teeth were wondrous
white, too. Score one for the crema-
tory.
