Interior illuminating.

The first consideration, as always in
the furnishings of a house, is that of
utility. We want lights that we may
see, and that in the way best adapted
to the sensitive structure of the eye.
The delicateretina shrinks instinctively
from a harsh, brilliant light, and from
one which strikes mercilessly upon it
without shade or softening influence
of any kind. 1t requires a steady light,
and at the same time a strong one, but
just as we soften the direct rays of the
sun with shades and draperies, and as
nature herself seeks to do with foliage
and softly drifting clouds, having OBJ
tanned the strongest and steadiest light
possible, we must make it as soothing
and as agreeable as well.
Much also depends upon where the
lights are placed to obtain the most
satisfactory results. Every one is con
Scious of discomfort, even on a day that
is slightly overcast, in walking when
the sun is directly overhead, while the
slanting rays dipping over ones Shout
der are most agreeable. The results
are the same with artificial lights. If
the ceiling is very high and the lights
sufficiently shaded to be inconspicuous.
they are permissible in a room devoted
to entertaining, but even under those
conditions there should be side lights
to focus the attention rather than direct
it to the ceiling, which is usually Meth
or bpoutiful NOR intproStiDG Martha

a Book,

In the library of the palace of the
Rajah of Ulwar, a city in India, there
is a manuscript book called "The Gu
listan,' which is claimed to be the
most valuable volume in India.
The librarian insists that it is worth
five hundred thousand rupees, which
is equivalent to about a hundred and
seventy thousand dollars, and de-
clares that the actual cost of the gold
used in Illuminating it was more than
fifty thousand dollars. 1t is a modern
manuscript copy of a religious poem,
made in 1S4S by a German scribe at
the order of the Maharajah Bani
Singh. The miniatures and other pic
lures were painted by a native artist
at Delhi, and the ornamental scroll
work upon the margins of the pages
and the initial letters were done by a
resident of Ulwar.

The Greatest Health Factor-Work.

Congenial work with mind and
hands should be encouraged in all per-
sons, for it's prophylactic as well as it's
curative influences. Rest will prove
serviceable doubtless in numbers of
cases, but its application should be
restricted and carefully studied. There
are many conditions where absolute
rest will not only prove useless, but
really harmful. 70 send a man from
an active business life to one of COM
plete inactivity will often prove disas-
trous, as much as to prescribe all food
for the obese.
The nervous will complain that they
do not feel like work. If left to them
selves and told to do absolutely moth
ing, not even to read, they are sure to
dwell upon their infirmities, and grow
thereby morose and hypochrondriacal.
thus increasing their invalidism. The
desire for work should be encouraged
in all conditions and in all classes.
If ones interest is aroused, even to
q slight degree, a continuance in the
work will develop a desire for occupa-
ton. One will never feel like work
if one has nothing to do. Work will
often accomplish what medicine, how
ever properly applied, will not, for it
is not alone that we must earn our
bread by the sweat Of the brow. but
every man and woman should work
fr the pleasure of it, as well as for
b zAealth-giving, brain-expanding re-
suits, and the benefit of example,

cARAWAY SEEDS.
ceneoctions Made Tiiefefrom by New
England Mothers or the Past.

Connections Made Tiefefrom by New
England Mothers or the Past.
Down'in Maine fingers the tradition
of .'seedcakes" and caraway seed tea
for collie and other childish ills of the
stomach. A writer in the Bangor
News recalls the supply of caraway
seeds that energetic mothers Of fifty
years ago always kept on hand. Just
before tho seeds rlpened they were
gathered from the heads and put up in
cool, airy lofts to dry. The water
evaporated out Of them, and the kerr
nels slrunk to mere scraps; the seeds
were then put up in tight cloth bags
and hung in a loft or boxed for future
use. For collie, hot water was poured
over the dried seeds, and the dish was
set back on the hearth of the fireplace
decoctlon was then sweetened and
taken internally, producing a grateful
warmth, which often gave an early re-
lief from pain. But there was a pleas
anter association of childhood with
caraway than this. The chief use of
tlle SeGuS was, We Tic uooulCos III q
ing "the famous seedcakes" that were
to be found in an earthen jar in every
true down East home. "As we remem-
\ Der them,' says the Bangor ancient,
"the seedcakes of those days were sim
ply sugar cookies made after the
recipes in use to-day, but having the
dough permeated through and through
with dried caraway seeds, which had
been added in the mixing and baked in
a hot oven. The memory Of these
cakes will endure for years. The fiat
sweetness of the plain cookie was made
pungent and agreeable by the addition
of the seeds, so that one took more
enjoyment out of the eating and
seemed to be able to consume a larger
number. 1t was very consoling for the
child-or the grownup, for that matter
to know that he was taking medicine
which was helpful to health at the
same time he was eating for the nour-
ishment of the body" The seedcake
has given way to the d%oughnut. ITO
day few Of the farmers OR gardeners
grow caraway, because the seedcake is
no longer demanded. But while the
caraway plant is no longer an inmate
of the kitchen garden, it still fingers
about the ancient farmhouses, growing
among weeds in back yards and wav-
ing its white blossoms by the roadside
as, joyfully as if it were all the fash
ion" Angel cake, sponge cake, and
ice cream cake have also conSpired to
relegate the seedcake to practical OBJ
livion, and it appears that the introduce
ton of peppermint and checkerberry
essences has almost resulted in driving
caraway seeds out Of the pharma-
copoeia of the family. We can sympa-
thize with the hope that the seedcake
will be r~ediscovered and come back
into it's own some day.-New York

Why Single Paddles Reign.

mo" said the oarmaker, "for fast
padding the single paddle cannot COM
pare with the double paddle; but you
see 100 single paddles where you do
one double paddle. Of course, some
canoe enthusiasts think that the sin
gle blade is more picturesque, but 1t
is the men who sell noes that have
brought the single blade into vogue.
at became the custom for the dealer
to give away a double paddle with
every canoe purchased. One dealer
began it, and, of course, all the rest
had to follow. But the double pad
dies are rather expensive. So some
bright dealer conceived the scheme OF
putting in a big stock of single pad
dies and giving one with each pur-
chase. This continued the courtesy
of throwing in something with every
canoe sold, but it cut down greatly
the expense of the gift."-New York

Odd WAY to Choose Pastor.

A West Side congregation was
called Upon not long ago to choose a
new pastor. The last three ministers
had been personae o gratae with
most of the Pensioners, and before
selecting another the congregation did
some pretty tall thinking. There was
one woman of experience whose ad-
vice carried particular weight.
Preacher after preacher was invited
to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and
all, in the final analysis, were reject
ed by the female arbiter. At last
there came along a possible incum-
bent who met with her approval.
"The reason l am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, lis because
he has the right kind of a wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants to at home, and
doesn't sass back. l found out long
ago that a man who. hasn't that priv
ilege at home works off his spleen
elsewhere. A minister vents 1t on his
congregation. That was why we
couldn't stand the last preacher. This
one will be all right. We won't hear
a peep out of him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation actually did give
the man a call, According to last ac-
counts both he and the parishioners
were doing we'll. The wife has not
been heard from.-New York Press.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unit to care
for children it ruins a childs DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. Inc
trouble between children and thelr
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnht to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a fire brand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the ervou prostration, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-THE blues" sleep
| lessness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do YOU experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening &c
choke you; all the senses perverted
morbidly sensitive to light and sound
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; we dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a SHATTERED
condition, and you are threatened witt
nervous p~rostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing IL
the world is better for nervous prostra
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

: The wardrobe must be planned each
season. The average woman does we'll
to decide on a few colors, the most be-
coming, and stick to them. Her very
jewels should be made to harmonic
with the chosen colors. What is the
use of owning diamonds if they are not
becoming? OF what use is a necklace
of emeralds if green is not included in
ones color scheme? Of course, col
ored stones may be worn with black
OF white, but it is better to consider
ones Jewels in relation to the entire
wardrobe. The first advantage of hav-
ing a few colors is economy. One silk
p%etticoat, one hat, n wrap, ETC., may
be made to go twice or three times as
far as they would if many colors had
to be matched. Another advantage is
that one gains a certain individuality
in her appearance. A certain artists
wife confines her colors to black, white
and yellow. She never departs from
those hues, and the result is that she
is called handsome without actually
being more than fine looking. She is
always perfectly dressed, and the har-
mony of her gowns, hats, jewels, flow
ers and accessories is most attractive.
One need not carry the limitation
quite as far as this. A dark woman
might choose navy blue, brown, yellow
and white, withperhaps a little red and
bright green carried into the trimmings
of her hats. A blonde woman would
substitute black for brown, and mauve
or violet for yellow. Sticking to these
colors year after year, the wardrobe
would soon become harmonious and
distinctive.
The study of harmony in color is we'll
worth while to the careful dresser.
The most exquisite combinations are
seen in beds Of pansies, or nasturtiums,
or in hydrangeas. If one can conquer
the feminine shudder there is nothing
more beautiful than a richly-hued cat
erpillar or a painted butterfly. All
sorts of color hints are to be gained
by keeping ones eyes open to nature.
Having selected ones colors, it is
comparatively easy to decide on the
number of gowns one needs in a sea-
son.. 1t is also much easier to avoid
buying useless things.

The Truth About Vanity.

When one m to think of it, van
ity may be defined as an appreciation
of the beautiful, which impels us to
make ourselves as beautiful as it is
possible to be. 1t appears also on
analysis that a desire to make oneself
better is a confession of the need of
being beautiful, so that the girl or
the man who t~itivates may have a less
conceit that those who go about con-
tent with themselves as they are,
ugly, probably; for it SO often hap
pens that Providence denying beauty
denies also the appreciation of it in
other things and persons.-Black and
