Broilinr a Steak.

Few housewives understand the art
of broiling. and consequently chops
and steaks are often robbed Of their del
icate flavor by frying in pan. A
steak or chop properly broiled should
have a thin. we'll Drowned crust. Be
yOnd this crust the meat should be
red and juicy, hardly a shade less done
in the middle than near the surface.
If the broiling is TO be done on range
have the fire very bright and clear:
Open every draft that smoke ana
fame may be drawn up the chimne!
Place the piece of meat in the double
broiler and hold it as near the Goals
as possible until the surface is brown
turning frequently, 1t will take three
or four minutes for this. Now raise the
broiler several inches above the oeu
of Goals and continue the cooking untll
the meat is done. A good rule is TO
count ten slowly, then turn the broilef.
A steak or chop, cut little more than
an inch thick, will cook nicely in tel
minutes. If liked we'll done, it should
be cooked for twelve minutes.

For the Little Woman.

Her object is to look as big as she
can, and she frequently succeeds IN
giving the impression that she is d
great deal taller than she is by taking
care of the lines of her figure TheIe

than in the high heels that can be
worn: she should hold her head up ana
her shoulders back. Then much de-

Symptoms of Eve Strain.

One of the symptoms of eye strain is
watering of the eyes. 1t is because the
eyes are weak or it may come from
some obstruction of the tear duct
Twitching of the eyelids is another
symptom of strain ana sick headache
another. Dark spots dancing before the
eyes sometimes indicate an internal de-
rangement or possibly the result of ex-
IRENE nervousness. If rest and care do
not improve them, it is best to consult
an oculist. Going to bed early is said
to make the eyes darker in hue, and the
wearing of gowns the color of the eyes
is known to intensity their color and
brightness. For Inflammation of the
eyes nothing is better than boracic
acid. In a saucer of warm water put
a teaspoonfuI of borax, and after let
ting it stand a few minutes battle the
eyes with it.

Too Much Discipline.

Some mothers pride themselves on
the picture of their children sitting
mutely in corner, holding hands
when guests are present, as they DO
upon the spick-and-s condition OF
their china closet, and by general con-
sent this has come to be looked upon as
something greatly to be desired. BY
such discipline, while it is impressive,
really bottles up a great deal of the ma
tive energy and intelligence of the
child Children that are permitted TO
discuss questions within the bounds of
reason with their elders invaria oily
manifest a spirit of self-reliance and
composure as they advance in age
which is very much more important TO
them than the ability to sit back and
saw nothing.

How to Wash the Hair.

Many young housekeeper goes about
with tangled tresses because she can
not afford costly shampoos and does not
understand the art of washing her own
hair. Probably the most satisfactory
method of cleansing the hair is one
that was invented by the American In
dams, long years ago. Go to a small
stream of running water, empty a
quart of borax or shaved soap into the
brook, run to point some fifty feet
furtherd down the stream and dive into
tie water head first. The soapy water
rushing on it's way. will swish through
the hair and cleanse it thorough. If
you cannot conveniently find a stream
of running water. lather your head and

TALK HAPPINESS.

Talk happiness!
Not now and then, but every
Blessed day,
Even if you can't be sure
Of half of what
You say;
There's no room here for him
Who whines as on his
Way he goes:
Remember. son. the world is
Sad enough without
Your woes.
Talk happiness each chance
You get-and
Talk it good and strong!
Look for it in
The byways as you grimly
Plod along:
Perhaps it is stranger now
Whose visit never
Comes;
But talk it, Soon you'll find
That you and happiness
Are chums.

Has the spending been deferred?
"'Or upon some foolish notion.
Have you spent-dont say Nay
We'll, twill have to do you
Till a fortnight from today"
Or. upon the next occasion,
This will greet your loving ear:
Steak is tough and cakes are tougher,
A cook you'll never make, my dear"
Next, you miss your car, when shop

And reach home a second late;
Does he smile bonignly on you,
And bemoan with you your fate?
No, he growls at you so sweetly,
In voice both gruff and deep,
" Think you might be home when
Fellows temper's hard to keep"
You must listen. gently listen,
To the groanings. loud and long,
OF the gentleman called husband,
Therefore, heed We all my song.
Now. the married ones. my maidens,
A different song will sing to you,
And it may be. yes it may be

On the stories that we tell,
And decide which you will be, then,
