saving Irons.

oANAAk AANhNa
Many housekeepers are annoyed by
their tiatlrons becoming rusty from
dampness In the cupboard. This may
be easily prevented. Before putting
the irons away after the ironing is fin
ished rub them with little warm
grease on a piece OF soft paper and
wrap. them in thick brown paper
When they are to be used again dip
chem into very hot water with n little
soda dissolved IN il and wipe them dry
before putting them over the fire to
heat. When taken from the fire for the
ironing have some brown paper on the
table with a little powdered bath brick
on Il and rub the iron on this. Have a
piece OF paraffin tied I'm a muslin bag
rub this lightly over the iron and then
polish it on a soft cloth. This almost
takes longer in the telling than the ac
tual work does, but the process makes
the iron delightfully."- smooth and easy
to use, and consequently one may gel
over the clothes more quickly. Flat
irons frequently receive very littl,
care, and snowy white clothes too Of
ten are spoiled by them. They should
always be Immediately clean.-House
keeper.

For the Nerves.

Mere stroking. used In varying do
grees Of swiftness and pressure, is very
soothing to an excited nervous system.
The gentler and slower the stroke the
more marked is its sedative action. In
some way not quite clear it promotes
mental peace and nerve rest. Soft I'm
gers, ungloved, are the best imple-
ments, and no adjunct Of any kind Is
needed. The stroking may be confined
to the forehead, the head or may en-
gage the entire body. A sympathetic
mind will communicate itself to the
touch. Try this for nervous headache
and hysteria.

MISS FLORENCE RHETT.

Household Manager and Social SEQ
retRry For J. r. Morgan.
Miss Florence Mason Rhett Of New
York is household secretary Of the
great financier ]. Pierpont Morgan and
is one Of the highest salaried as well as
one Of the hardest worked women in
the United States. Those who ought to
know say her salary is $4,000 q year.
Miss Rhett has been in Mr.. Morgan's
employ as household manager and So
cial secretary TO the family for six
years. She relieves Mrs. Morgan, who
dislikes household responsibility, Of the
care Of her magnificent homes In New
York, West Point and London. Her
word is absolute in each establishment
She engages and discharges the serv-
ants and purchases all the supplies
She is not restricted as to expenses.
Miss Rhett is said to be relative OF
Mrs. Morgan. She is a descendant Of
the old Rhett family Of South Carolina

A Younr yvife'. Dutie..

Perhaps there is nothing more impor-
tant to a young wife or more calculat-
ed to make home happy than a proper
knowledge of her duties and due re
gard for household expenditure. Yet
many a young girl entering upon life
is wholly unqualified for her duties and
has TO pick up, as it were, her knowl-
edge instead Of exercising it. A thor
ough knowledge therefore Of domestic
economy is an important part Of the
requirements Of a young girl and as
much a moral obligation on her part as
it is on that Of a man to have that pro
I fessional information and tact which
enables him to provide for the wants
Of a wife and family.-London Queen.

socially prominent in Charleston. She
is q tall, large, distinguished looking
woman. like Mrs. Morgan and Miss
Anne Morgan.
Managing the household affairs is the
least Of Miss Rhetts duties. She takes
charge Of all the correspondence OF the
Morgan home, including all letters deal
ing with Mr.. Morgan's multifarlous
charitable affairs in connection with
churches and hospitals, his relations
with the Metropolitan Museum and
other institutions Of art and learning,
his personal correspondence about his
yachting interests and the various clubs
with which he is connected. All ap-
peals for aid come under Miss Rhetts
eye. and her decision upon them is
usually final, as that decision is only
rendered after she has made a rigid in
vestigation as TO the worthiness Of the
cause.
Mrs. Morgan and Miss Morgan re-
ceiye almost as many begging letters
as Mr.. Morgan does. These also are
turned over to Miss Rhett. She also
acts as social secretary, replying to and
sending out invitations.
AS cOnnoisseur in art Miss Rhett is
nearly always engaged in looking up
something In connection with Mr.. Nor
gan's purchases in that field. If some
body writes offering to sell him a rare
piece of china or a painting he sends
Miss Rhett to look at it. Her Judg-
ment goes a long way with him in such
matters. This will give an idea Of the
wide range Of Miss Rhett's duties, and
though her salary is large, she earns it,

Feeding the baby.

This is a question of vital Importance
and much concern to every mother.
The time comes when something be-
sides a purely milk diet is desirable,
but what, that the little stomach can
digest, will furnish proper nourish-
ment? 1t is often necessary to change
from an entire milk diet when, dur
ing the teething period, baby refuses
food or does not seem to relish what is
taken as formerly.
The old fashioned oat fake, properly
cooked, is one of the first things to be
given with safety, and the little ones
enjoy this. In lieu of a double boiler,
If yours is too large, get a small han
died basin that will fit in the top OF
your teakettle, using the cover of the
latter for the dish. To a cup Of boil
ing water add a pinch of salt and one
tablespoonful Of cat flake. Cook over
your boiling kettle one hour or more
"a thorough cooking is very essentiaD.
You will have a jelly with very little
solid matter. Add milk, and 1t is ready
for baby. A little sugar may be used,
but do not make the common mistake
Of thinking everything for baby must
be sweetened and later wonder why
when he is hungry plain bread and
butter without a sugar dressing is not
acceptable. Gradually increase the
amount Of oats used until you have
accustomed the little stomach to taking
it as ordinarily prepared for breakfast

The Way to Heaven.

Heaven is open every day;
In night also.
He that would wend his upward w.
May surely go.
There is no wall to that demesne
Where God resides, nor any screen
To hide the glories of that scene
If man will know.
The ladder which the Hebrew saw
When as he slept
From earth God never doth updraw,
But stiil hath kept:
And angels ever TO and fro
On errands swiftly glide and glow,
For love above. for love below,
Its rounds have stepped.
Thereon the saint doth daily mount
Above the stars.
Caring no whit to take account
OF earthly bars;
Since well 'tis known to such as he
There are no guards but pass him free
He hath the watchword and the key
In peace or wars.

A Remarkable Case.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 10
The removal of a mans beating
heart from his body and its re
placement after a bullet had been
extracted from the region ada
cent to it has just been accom-
plished by the physicians at the
Germantown Hospital.
Frank Robinson was shot on
Septembre I by Policeman Nor
ley, while the latter was trying
to arrest him. The bullet entered
Robinson's chest on the left side.
It was believed his heart had been
struck. Portions of two ribs were
removed, exposing the heart to
view. The evidence of a bullet
could be seen, so the surgeon
carefully removed the organ part
ly from the body.
The bullet was found imbedded
in the flesh within fraction of
an inch of the heart, upon which
it had caused pressure. The heart
was then replaced and the ribs re-
turned and covered with flesh.
There is every probability that
Robinson will entirely recover.

sisted of about 400 specimens of

take about fifteen days for the
second infection to appear, and
that would bring the time well in
to November and cold weather.
The message, of course, contained
no mention of the Presidents
coming.
The suggestion contained in the
Presidents message that he would
make a second trip South for the
purpose of visiting New Orleans
and Arkansas, if the people of
New Orleans desired it, was also
discussed.
In November, the President.
with the session of Congress ap-
preaching, will be busy compiling
his message, and it would be we'll
nigh impossible for him to take
the trip during that month. Con.
gress in session, he would be tied
to his post at Washington until
perhaps late in the spring. It
was the concensus of opinion that
the canceling of his itinerary as
planned would probably delay bis
visit to this city for months and
perhaps for a year or more.
On the suggestion Of Mayor
Behrman, vote was finally taken
on the advisability of his coming

senting vote was cast. The tele-
gram was then drawn up as above

abandoned and the health certif-

The latter is the safest and most

of this fact.
sThe only section of the State
where | fear spread of new in
fection is along the line of the
YaZoo & MississipDi Valley road
south of Harriston. Many refu-
gees got away from Hamburg and
into the surrounding country be-
fore and Immediately after yellow
fever was announced at that place,
and there is much likelihood that
they will spread the disease. We
will keep a close watch on that
section during the next two or
three weeks.
ut is my belief that yellow
fever will not make its appearance
in the northern and eastern sec
tions of the State, and / do not
look for infection in the central
and piney woods regions or in the
delta. In view of the early ap-
pearance of the disease at New
Orleans we have been indeed for
tunate to escape with SO little in
fection.
"A lesson has been conveyed to
us by the quarantiines this year
that should carry much weight in
case the disease should Ieappear.
Giving the fullest acceptance and
credence to the mosquito doctrine,
we must forever reIinquish the
shotgun quarantine and adopt the
health certificate plan on an uni
folmg basis. In other words,
there must be uniformity of regu-
latlons at all non infected points,
under the direction of the State
health authorities, and infected
points should be governed exclu-
sively by a State health officer
named by the board. Small towns
must not be allowed to make
law unto themselves. By uni
formity of requirements, we can
handle yellow fever in the future
with but little interruption of
business, and absolutely without
lpanic to the populace. If certain
localities need form of quaran-
! tine additional to the uniform plan
it can be provided by the State
health board, and at the discretion
