Among the first things that should

the drains in the house with hot water

There are two economies in which
the average young housewife needs to
receive caution from her elders-one,
to put on her apron when she goes to
the kitchen TO cook or TO fix up a
dainty; the other, not to use silver
forks and spoons for kitchen purposes.
Wood, iron and plated spoons for such
uses are cheap and better adapted to

TO HEM TABLE LINENS.

The simple rolled French hem, done
by band, is the approved way Of finish
ing the raw edges Of damask table
cloths and napkins. Turn a narrow
hem about quarter Of an inch, baste,
fold back again on the right side Of the
fabric, then overland the hem TO the
cloth in top seam. When finished,
fatten and press the hem in place,
says the Philadelphia inquirer
Fine damask table linen is sometimes
hemstitched the cloth with a two
inch hem and the napkins with an inch
hem, While this is an exceptionally
dainty way Of finishing, it cannot stand
hard usage.
Plain white damask is preferred to
any fancy weayes in color cOmbina-

tea, or an elaborate luncheon. Some
times a plain line is handsomely dec

Ex-senator Shoup, Of Idaho, who died
recently, clung close through all his
residence in Washington to one old
frontier precaution that seemed in
grained. He would never sit with his
back to a door or an open window,
but always took seat where he could
command the entrance and where no
one could come up behind him, In his
early days in the West he had got
mixed up in one or two feuds, but
being a man Of the world and quick
on his feet, had cOntrived TO come
through unhurt. During those busy
and trouble-flled years he learned the
necessity of caution. He had seen
too many men snuffed out from behind
not to recognize the potential danger
that lay in an unmatched door or
window. The habits Of lifetime are
not easily shaken off, so that even in
the secluson OF the Senate restaurant
Mr.. Shoup always sat where he could
keep q wary eye on all who entered the
room.-Kansas City Star.

CHOOSE BRIGHT SIDE.


She was eighty.eight her last birth
day. As she sat by the window, her
dim eyes looking Off TO where the sum
set made the sky red above the house
tops, she was picture Of peace and
content.
Her comfortable cherry chair was a
birthday present. and she spoke Of it
gratefully So was the chart hanging
on the wall beside her, lettered in big
plain type with a chcery message for
each day. She spoke Of that too, and

to get downstairs for a year, and
perhaps never would again. True,
also, that her sight was failing and her
dearly loved occupations Of reading

must sit all day with idle hands and
almost useless eyes. True, too, that
even while she talked 10 her visitors
she was in real pain from rheumatism

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.

One of the mistakes of women is not
knowing how to eat. If man is not
TO be fed when she is, she thinks cup
of tea and anything handy is good
enough If she needs to save money
she does it at the butchers cost II
she is busy she will not waste time in
eating. If she is unhappy she goes
without food. A man eats if the sher-
iff is at the door if his work drives, IL
the undertaken Interrupts; and he is
right. A woman will choose ice.cream
instead CT a beelsteak, and man will
not.
Another Of her mistakes is not know
ing when to rest. If she is tired she
may sit down, but she will darn stock
ings, crochet shawls, embroider doll
les. Does she not know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted she
will write letters or figure her ac-
counts. She will laugh at you If you
hint that reading or writing could fail
to rest her. All over the country wom-
ems hospitals flourish because women
don't know how to rest.
Another mistake on the list is their
constant worrying Worry and hurry
are their enemies, and yet they hug
them to their bosoms. Women cross
bridges before they come to them,
and even build bridges to cross. They
imagine misfortune and run out to
meet it.
Women are not jolly enough. They
make too serious business of life, and
laugh at its little humors too seldom.
Men can stop in the midst Of perpleSl-
ties and have a hearty laugh, and 1t
keeps them young. Women cannot,
and that is one reason why they fade
so early-there are other reasons, but
we will pass them now. Worry not
only wrinkles the face but it wrinkles
and withers the mind. Have a hearty
laugh once in a while; it is a good an
tiseptic, and will purify the mental at
mosphere, drive away evil imaginings,

SELE.ESTEENI-

Every self-respecting woman holds
herself in proper esteem and believes
that she is an independent entity, with
rights and privileges which others
are bound to recognize. She conducts
herself as If she were a force and
factor in life and occupies a prominent
place in the world. This self-respect
is essential to the success Of all. It is
only when carried to the extent Of
making one unduly conceited that it
should be frowned upon. We Ike to
see a self-respecting man or woman
going through life as if every action
was ordered by clear, intelligent
mind of some particular purpose. IL
the person did not show this power Of
self-importance and assurance nobody
else would show respect or esteem.-

NEW FANCIES.

Fur hats have never been so popular
with women of all ages, except the
very young girl, Big tricomes, or
toques are the most popular as tu

simplest sort of treatment with mara
bout feathers, or stiff gardenias in
shaded colors.
Chinchilla end sable are especially
beautiful trimmed with flowers. shaded
from pink down into the deepest reds.
Exquisite rose-strewn organdies are
in evidence for girlish evening frocks,
In some the roses are nothing but tiny
prim buds, in others great noddlng
heads.
Corset covers, made entirely Of row
after row of lace insertion, are side by

China silk, embroidered with shirt
waist designs in wash silk, makes very
pretty blouses, which are more SER

If proof were needed Of the accuracy
Of the Bishop Of LondOn's statement
that the members of the Episcopal
Bench, Notwithstanding their large sal
aries, often find it difficult TO make
both ends meet, is furnished by the
will of the late Bishop Of Worcester,
which has just been proved.
DR.. Perowne, who died at the ad-
vanced age of eghty-one, was Bishop
Of Worcester for ten years, and during
that time he drew 100000 by way Of
stipend, and yet the most the Bishop
seems to have been able to do was to
live up to Micawber's ideal of keep
ing his expenditure just within his in
come, for the gross value Of his estate
is returned at no more than Ell2O,
which very probably represents little
more than his life insurance.-London

TRIM WALKING SKIRTS.

When all is said and done, America
IS the home of the walking skirt. In
London the short skirt is relegated to
sports and business. For all social
occasions trailing skirts are still the
go. In Hyde Park on a Sunday in the
famous church parade one sees only
long, trailing gowns, held up in de-
iiance Of that law OF good dressing
which demands for every garment the
right to hang in its natural folds.
French women leave short skirts to
shop girls and all kinds Of "hands."
Berlin leaders Of society are only just
awakening to the dangers Inherent in
the long skirt, but they will wear
trains just the same. Abroad the
American girl can be picked out wher-
ever she goes by her trim, well cut
smart, short skirt.

COTTON OR sHoDDY IN A FABRIC

COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS.

A recent bulletin from Missouri "a.
Commercial Orchards has this 10
say about culIirationi
"a TOO common treatment is TO crop
tne land in corn while the orchard is
Young and sow it TO grass or to let
weeds and sprouts take it when 1t is
old. This method impOverishes the
so'5 II takes the available plant food
from ihc trees. II the soil is already
thin. this will iniure the fruit trees
ana they will succumh more readily to
insects ana diseases. ltneed hardly be
said that such practice will lead to
poor results.
"Anothcr method is TO subdue the
land with corn before setting the
orchard, and after the orchard is set,
to cultivate in corn Tor n year or two
and then give one cultivation each way
early in the season. This practice has
proved very satisfactory in the peach
orchards.
"a third method is to crop the land
with a rotation Of corn, cowpeas and
rye as long as possible and then give
clean, shallow culture. This Is by far
the best method, as shown by the con-
dition Of orchards SO treated. The
crops will pay for the labor and money
expended. This method is practiced
here in the experiment orchards, and
we recommend it to all orchardists.
"These methods are commonly prac-
ticed where cultivation is given, but
many orchard owners simply cultivate
in corn for a year or two and then SOW
to grass or let the orchard shift for
itself. There seems to be a mistaken
idea among some fruit men that an old
orchard can take care Of itself, but
this is not the case. An orchard, like
any field crop, win respond TO good
culture. e."-National Fruit Grower.

Army and Navy.

do not believe that any army In the
world has a better average of enlisted
m72 or better type of Junior officer,
but the army should be trained to act
effectively in a mass. Provision should
be made by sufficient appropriations
for maneuvers of practical kind.
Provision should be made for the pro-
motion of exceptionally merltorious
men over the heads Of their comrades
and for the retirement of all men who
have reached given age without get
ting beyond given rank.
There should be an increase in the
coast artillery force so that our coast
Notifications can be in some degree
adequately manned. There is special
need for an increase and reorganization
of the medical department Of the army.
In both the army and navy there must
be the same thorough training for duty
in the staff corps as in the fighting line.
The Importance of this was shown con-
clusively in the Sganisli-Amer'can and
the Russo-Japanese wars. The work
of the medical departments In the Jap
