TO STIMULATE THE SKIN.
Food for One Cuticle Is Poison for An
other and Experiments Should Be
Made with Greatest Care.

There are women who can use cold
salt and water upon the face with
splendid results. But it is well to ex.
pertinent slowly. There was a certain
woman whose face was like parchment.
There we're hundreds of little lines in
it. She had tried many things, but
me seemed to agree with her. Then
81 tried cold salt and water. She
''dolsed' her face with it, putting II
on every day of her life. In little
while her skin grew pure and pink and
fresh 1t needed this certain tonic.
But there are a great many people
who cannot stand the salt water cure,
and there are many skins that would
be made muddy by it, but all can take
the hot water dip. And 1t is the most
effective of al remedie9, says an ex-
change.
After the hot water dip the face
should be dried and then well creamed.
The cream should be smooth skin
food, containing no glycerine and hav-
ing no astringent qualities. The o.
iect is to open the pores, not to close
them.
Then comes the hot water treatment,
with good soap. And afterward the
face will be pink and pretty and will
show the trace of roses.
Those who are troubled with open
pores, and so many are afflicted in this
manner, can wash the face with luke
warm water made milky with a few
drops of benzoin. This will make the
face feel very smooth and will contract
the pores of the skin and gradually
close them.

TEACHING NEATNEss.
Tho Method Adopted and Found Sue
cessful by One Mother in Deal
ing with Children.

1t is difficult, as everyone who tries II
knows, to teach children to keep their
belongings in order, or to be careful
and neat; but when once the habit Of
Eeatness is inculcated, it is of iIestima-
bic value to the boy or girl in his or her
future life, and well worth all the
trouble incurred.
An ingenious mother thought out an
excellent plan. She made it an unalter-
able rule that there should be place
for everything and everything kept ID
its place. Whenever any of the family
found anything belonging to another
member of it out of place. they were at
liberty to put it in "chancery." The
chancery was room, kept locked, and
presided over by the mother. Every ar
ticle entering there called for one penny
to effect its release. At first caps, states,
pencils, slippers came teeming in, and
following them the pennies for release.
and these formed fund for purchasing
something to promote tidiness-such as
waste paper baskets. paper racks. Slip
per cases, and so on. Soon, by firmly adj
herring to the rule of demanding the
ransom money, the articles coming into
chancery decreased, and the lesson was
thoroughly taught to all the children.
from the Oldest ones away at college to
the little maid of four years of age at
home, and mothers right hand"
Outside the chancery door there hung
slate with pencil attached, and when
any article was confiscated the date was
noted.
A certain time fixed for their detention
was wise forethought, for if the little
articles or toys must remain in chancery
three or four days or week, their little
owners will think more of being de-
prived of their treasures than even OF
paying the necessary penny to release
Them and the toy comes out again with
a certain freshness that makes it dotbly
attractive.
Both parents should always remem-
Der that they must set good example,
and the servants should always be in
structed to remember neatness as abso-
lutely imperative. Children are very
quick at detecting inconsistencies, and
would notice at once the fact that their
elders were not practicing what they
were so sternly preaching-American
Queen.

SOME GOOD APPLE DISHES.
OF This Toothsome Fruit So Many
Savory and Novel Dishes Can
Be Connected.

Many choice, healthful and appetizine
dishes may be made of apples, and with
this fruit now in the market at reason
able price all the year round. 1t is q
valuable feature of the regular market
ing list.
To stew apples, pare apples, cut them
into quarters and remove the cores;
place into a porcelain pan or kettle,
cover with sugar and add the juice OF
half lemon and few bits of the yell

allow them to become broken. Beat the
yolks of three eggs. add three table,
spoonfuls of sugar, a pinch of salt and
one pint of scalded milk. Pour it over
the baked apples. Bake till the custard
is firm. When cool, add a meringue
made of the whites of three eggs, beaten
till foamy; add three tablespoonfuls Of
powdered sugar gradually, flavor with
emon and beat stiff.
Set the pudding dish on some founda-
ton in the oven-a board will do-and
brown the meringue. The whites should
be cool and beaten until foamy, but not
stiff. Then add the sugar slowly, in the
proportion of one tablespoonful for each
Egg. and beat stiff enough to keep shape
To make apple omelet, steam tart
apples, mash and drain quite dry. Take
one pint of the pulp and mix with the
yolks of three well beaten eggs, one
cupful of sugar and the juice of half a
lemon. Then add the beaten whites.

The Middle-Aged Of TODAY.

The Middle-Aged OF To-Day.
Half a century ago man Of As was re-
garded almost elderly, and a woman Of
the same age was expected to have long
since cut herself adrift from all ties
binding her to youth and to assume the
appearance and department of staid,
exemplary matron. All this has changed
In particularly interesting way, of
which the prominent feature is SEEM
ang contradiction, writes an observer Of
people and things. If the three-year-
old child of to-day is as knowing as was
the six-year-old of half century ago,
and the ten-year-old boy of to-day is in
many respects quite as much a man as
was his grandfather at Is, one might
naturally expect that in due graduation
the modern middle-aged man should be
old beyond his years. But such is not
the case. Middle age, go far from hurry
ing on into senility, so far even from
standing still, would seem actually to
have stepped backward and marched
alongside Of youth. There is jaunti-
ness, buoyancy, an elasticity about the
middle age Of to-day at which our faith
ers would have shaken their heads as
unseemly. The gulf which once separat-
ed the middle-aged parent from his
children has been filed up. The curtain
which shrouded the middle-aged man
generally from the eyes of youth, and
which caused him to be regarded with
respect, If not with awe, has been lifted,
and In obedience to the same Influences
which have made the schoolmaster the
friend Of the schoolboy and the regimen
tai officer almost the comrade of his
men, the middle-aged man of to-day is
never so happy as when working or play
Ing upon an equality with, and actually
In competition with, youth. AS with
men, so it is with women. Social statis-
ticians tell us that the age at which wo-
men are considered most eligible for
marriage has been very notably ad-
vanced Of late years, and we know that
the lament of many a matchmaking
mamma is that the most dreaded rivals
OF her darling are not to be found SO
much among the girls of her own age as
among women who not many years ago
would have been relegated to the ranks
OF hopeless old maidenhood. The fact
that the middle-aged woman of to-day
Is much younger in manner and tastes
is, OF course, not the only reason for this,
but 1t is among the most potent.
