THE SLACK WOMAN.

A slack looking woman must deteri-
orateherself in the estimation of others.
There are some women who are not un-
clean, but they present anything but d
pleasing appearance on account of the
lack of taste and care they show in
dressing. Unless clothes are put on
properly they win show the wearer's
carelessness. and unless they are be-
eoming they have a painful way of tell
2 the lack of good taste that was ex-
scised in their selection. The fit of a
nrment is one of the prime essentials
IN the art of dressing. \ woman can
look the perfection of neatness in well
fitting flannel shirt waist and a walking
skirt that sets beautifully, provided her
hair is carefully arranged and her col
lar and belt in good taste. 1t is not
so much the amount of money put into
clothes as it is the judicious care in
their selection and make, and also the
attention in putting them on right, that
makes a woman look well.

AS TO MECHANICS.

Wonderful how names stick to a
person. There are two nice little wo
| men in our village who came on US one
evening" and we offered them popcorn
which the children had just brought
in from the kitchen. They refused,
but not so emphatically as to keep US
from giving them two heaping plates
of the corn. We kept reflling the
plates and they kept crunching all the
| evening. There was something so fun
ny about it that ] called them "The
| Popcorn Ladies'" and the name has
| stuck to them so that the whole viii
lage knows them by it. l once knew a
man who talked necessarily in a high
| pitched voice, and a bright girl dubbed
| quickly passed around among the
young people, and now the greater part
of his friends know him by that name.
A dignified young woman of my ac-
quaintance goes by the name of
"Whont" to this day because when she
was a little girl she used to call her
self Mrs. Whont" when she played
grownup ladies, and the family picked
it up. She simply can't shake the alb
surd name. More than one red-haired
man is known by the name of Pink,
and philisophically accepts the title. |
have an acquaintance who holds a re-
sponsible position who is known by
the name of "Dotty." 1t seems that
one day mischievous girl discovered
that he had three prominent dimples
She promptly dubbed him ''Dotty DIM
pie, and now he is known to all his
associates as "Dotty" Another man
of my acquaintance is always called
"Bluebeard" because he has such a
white and thin skin that if he does not
shave daily his beard shows blue
drought it. That name, too, came
through woman's quick wit.
In a certain household a very fem
mime little woman is called The
Boy because when she was young
girl she went through a serious illness
which made it necessary to cut her
hair short. Her younger sister said she
was the boy of the family, and the
dainty lady is still called by that alb
surd name. An eliminate man was
once called Viola" by one of the boys
in the office, and now he know him
by nothing else. Another one of the
boys in the office is always called
"Chesty," and, though he got angry
at first, he has cheerfully accepted the
new name now. Our bookkeeper is al
ways putting in his oar when it is not
at all necessary, and / think now he
will be known until the end of time
as General Butts" A friend of mine
who is always called Cheerful does
not know whether he is called that
because his friends believe he has a
cheerful disposition or because they
consider him a cheerful idiot. But, at
any rate, he can't shake the name

AN ANGEL IN THE HOUSE.

(By Leigh Hunt)
How sweet it were if, without feeble
fright
Or dying of the dreadful beauteous
sight,
An angel came to US, and we could bear
To see him issue from the silent air
AT evening in our room, and bend on
ours
His divine eyes, and bring US from his
bowers
News of dear friends and children who
have never
Been dead. indeed as we shall know
forever
Alas! we think not what we daily see
About our hearths-angels that are to
be,
Or maybe, if they will and we prepare
Their souls and ours to meet in happy
air
A child, a friend, wife whose soft
heart sings
In unison with ours, breeding its flu
ture wings.

KEEPING THE FURs.
CThe Pilgrim for Maya


A resourcefuI friend of mine. who is
a famous housekeeper, used old linen
sheets for wrapping the furs bsfore
placing them in a box or barrel. Sheets
are selected that are too old and thin
for other use, and they are kept for
this purpose from year to year, as they
would not be fit to use on beds after
their summer service in fur storing,
especially if oil of cedar is used as a
moth preventative She saturates
small balls of cotton batting with the
oil of cedar and pins-them- to the
sheets In which the furs are to be
wrapped. II is almost impossible to
confne the oil TO the batting, however,
and the sheets will come from the
store room badly stained. Many OBJ
ject to the very useful oil of cedar be-
cause Of its strong odor; but those
who have tested it find that the odor
soon passes off after the furS are taken
from the store room. In fact, it doss
not cling to them after thorough ven.

camphor and many other personalities.
Sheets Of newspaper are often more
highly recommended than cotton or
linen sheets for wrapping expensive
furs before storing them, as there is.
something about the printers ink that
proves disagreeable 10 the moths The
sheets must be especially prepared for
this purpose, however. In order to
wrap the large fur securely, the news

TOO MUCH DUTY.

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly; their conscience is a tyrant.
An exaggerated sense of duty leads
many a person to anxious, ceaseless
activity, to be constantly doing some
thing, over-punctual, never idle a sec
ond's time, scorn to rest; such are in
unconscious nerve tension. They say
they have no time to rest, they are
rapidly uniting themselves for prob
ably what would have been their best
and greatest work in after years. Self
control of nerve force is the great les
son of health, and therefore of life it
self. TO understand how to relax is 10

Hearty laughter is. a source of relaxa-
ton, as are also all high thoughts. as
those of hope, beauty trust or love.
Relaxation is found iT4diversion.

DRINKING HOT WATER.

There are four classes of persons who
should not drink large quantities of
hot water: First, people who have ir-
ritability of the heart. Hot water will
cause palDitation of TIE heart in such
cases. Second. persons with dilated
stomachs. Third, persons afflicted with
sour stomachs. Fourth, persons who
have soreness of the stomach or pain
induced by light pressure. These rules
are not for those who take hot water
simply to relieve thirst but as a
means of washing out the stomach.
Hot water will relieve thirst better
than cold water and for that purpose is
not to be condemned. But hot water is
an excitant and in cases in which ir-
ritation Of the stomach exists should be
avoided.

Those were the last words of a
young girl who died last week, after
losing her innocence and running the
pace that kills. If only she had lis

believed the man who wooed her only
to betray her; she would not have gone
to dances and restaurants; she would
not have yielded her virtue; she would
not have filled an untimely grave.

MAKING HAPPY HOMES.

It is a part of every mans duty in
this world to take care of himself, his
home and his future. If he is idle to-
day his store will be diminished to-
morrow. If there is no income there
can be no outgo. unless he spends
that which belongs to another or that
which yesterday he laid away. A busy
man rarely goes TO the almshouse or
begs his bread at the door of another.
Taking the world over, domestic COM
fort comes through remunerative Ia
Dor. Finding fault with conditions of
society and seeking the destruction of
those who furnish us both labor and
wages brings no comforts to. our own
table and kindles no fire on the
hearth. A days labor and a days
wages will bring gladness to the day
that follows. A good temper and a
willing hand, correct habits and kind
heart, make happy homes. But gaunt
poverty, like the hound of the hunter
follows at the heels of him who is
incident or wastes his wages. or who
seeks his pleasure in the subways
rather than by domestic firesides. If
men waste tonight what they earned
today. their children will cry for
bread tomorrow.-Home Journal and
News.
