Children and Sea BotbIno.

Many a child has had its pleasure In
sea bathing destroyed by the well-meant
but misguided efforts of its elders 10
make 1t enjoy the experience. Who has
not seen some unfortunate little child
borne. kicking and yelling, into deep
water and dipped into what n:ust seem
To II fathomless depths? The shock thus
given TO the sensitive nervous organiza-
uon OF a child Is thing not 10 be treat
ed lightly. That the little creature NAV
be racing merrily on the beach within
no means proof that no harm has been
done. IL Is much better TO let children
choose their own depth near the shore,
and paddle about to their own sweet
Will. When an anxious mother fears a
chill from this partial bathing baby can
usually be coaxed into sitting down I'm
the shallow water. and then be gently
wet all over.-Harpers Bazaar.

so poetical in poetry and the novels

something not so poetical. 1t Is due,

the slowness and languor that was so

MISTRESS AND SERVANT.
The Lady Of the House Should Insist
Upon Respect and Obedience
as First Essentials.

Which every woman must demand
from her servants is respect. The
harassed and troubled American WON
an who has to cope with the worst
servants In the world, the iii trained
peasantry of Europe, who come here to
be "as good as anybody" and who see
that 1t is easily possible to make q
living in America whether they are
respectful or not, that woman has an
arduous task to perform.
She must gain at least outward re-
spect by insisting upon having it and
by showing her servants that she re-
CARDS 1t as even a greater desideratum
than the efficient discharge OF duties.
The mistress must not lose her tenn
per, but must be calm, imperturbable,
and dignified always. IL she gives an
order she must insist, at whatever
personal cost, that it shall be obeyed.
Fortunately and inflexibility on this
point are well bestowed.
Conscientious servants who compre-
bend their duties and who try to per.
form them should, after a certain
course of discipline. be allowed to fol-
low their own methods of working. In
reference and fault finding injure the
temper, and suspicion is bad for any
body, and especially operates against
making a good servant.-Chicago Tri

THE PRINCE OF BUFFERS.
His Resourcefulness Saved His Mis-.
tress In an Awkward
Situation.

Tho late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
Of the lawn mower, was great admirer
of witty and alert persons.
At q dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said OF a famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work as butler. He made an ex.
celent butler. Let me give you an in
stance of the sort of work he did.
Ellis mistress was giving dinner party
of II covers on certain evening, One
OF the courses consisted of scalloped oy-
sters in silver shells. The set of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be just enough to go
around.
"The butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de-
cline IT,. Calmly she let it rest before
her. If she started to eat it, one guest
would be short of oysters What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously. She
took up her fork. She was actually about
TO plunge it into the dainty shell. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, flew to her
side and bent over her respectfully:
'Pardon me, madam, he murmured,
but you said | was to remind you that
the doctor forbade your eating oysterds
on any account"

Two persons were killed and 500 in

ON WASHING DISHES.
This Portion of Housework a Sure In
dication Of Ones Skill or Lack
Of Skill in Housekeeping.

One of the primal ventures In well
ordered household Is the duty OF dish
| washing and II you are in doubt as to
| what you may expect from your new
maid, observe when and how she
washes the dishes after the first meal
she serves. Then you will know just
what you may depend upon in every
thing else she does. II she tumbles
all the dishes in at once, or II she neg
lects to change the water when II has
become cold and dirty she is not neat,
and unless you wish to train her you
will dispense with her services.
This is the science of good dish
washing: First, do not allow any
length OF time to elapse after the meal
before the soiled dishes are removed.
Have everything ready before the
washing begins. Make suds with soap
and not too much soda. The soap must
not be left in the water. Glass must
always be washed first, next the fine
cups and saucers take their turn and
any other pieces of fine china. Fol.
lowing these comes the silver. Then
the things that are least greasy and
finally the large meat dishes and the
pots and kettles.
Everything, of course, has been made
ready, plenty of drying towels, towels
for the glassware, wash cloth, mops
for soap, the ammonia, and knife
cleaner. 1t Is good plan to put
dishes of one kind in at tine and of
another the next. Every glass should
be emptied before It is placed in the
pan, which is rule that applies to
ether dishes. Any dishes that have
had milk in should be rinsed before
they go into the dish water.
After the dishes have drained awhile,
hot water poured over them cleanses
and renders them easier to dry. The
silver should be placed in fresh suds
and the different lines of dishes should
be submitted to the same treatment.
Dishes must never be left lying in the
water and the pan should not be
crowded. First it retards the progress
and renders breakage more imminent
Delicate china placed in hot water will
surely crack.
If the day Is exceedingly busy and
something must be neglected, do not
allow that something TO be the dishes

1t is good thing TO eat fresh fruit fol

generally agree with the most delicate
digestion. Green or half-ripe apples
stewed and sweetened, are always good

than many liver pills. Oranges are ex.

matoes are very beneficial, but the skins

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 18th, (Special). =
One of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs.
Minnie Hart Of this place. Mrs. Hart was
in bee for eight months, and when she
was able to sit up she was all drawn up
on one side, and could not walk across
the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her.
Speaking of her cure Mrs. Hart says:
"Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after was in bed for eight months, and |
know the cure was complete, for that was
three years ago, and have not been
down since. In four weeks from the time
l started taking them was able to make
my garden. Nobody can know how
thankful am to be cured or how much
feel ! owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the Kid
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney, Pills and nine-tenths of the suf-
fering the human family is heir to will
