Purely cAmerican.

Women are by no means of one mind
about the necessity of going to Paris
for style. 1t Is pointed out that. first
OF all, Americans want to be free and
Independent OF fashions that may please
the French women And 1t is likewise
true that the manner OF life Of Ameri-
can women necessarily gives them fig
ures quite different from those OF their
French sisters. who from their child
hood are squeezed into corsets designed
to give them unduiy long waists and
narrow hips. The American girl, on the
contrary, shares her brothers games,
is an adept at outdoor sports and de-
velops an expanse of chest that nuite
unfits her for the confines OF the corset
affected by the Parisienne.

Chlldzen's S Teeth.

Not all mothers realize the necessity
OF caring for the teeth OF very young
children. Knowing that these first
teeth must soon go. they are often
neglected unless they call attention to
themselves by persistent aching. That
snls course is a mistake many persons
nave Found to their cost In later life.
me first teeth should be treated with
as much care as the second set Cav.-
ies should be filled. not, indeed. with
eoid. but with amalgam or some such
substance When the second set is
cunning, close watch should be kept to
make sure that the first teeth are not
allowed to interfere with their sue
cessors. Where a first tooth does not
come out at the right time the second
tooth often comes up back or to one
side Of 1T. thus making irregularity.
Children should be trained to use a
tooth brush from the time they are
able TO wash their own faces For
some reason or another most children
dislike brushing their teeth, but a
mother who insists upon its being done
VIII have her reward in their gratitude
In later life.

More Heat From a Radiafoz.

There are a good many rooms where
the radiator is either too small or the
steam pressure Is too low to maintain
comfortable temperature IN severe
weather II the tenant is enjoying the
station electric lighting service the mat
ter can easily be remedied Take the
fan that keeps you cool all summer and
set 1t where II Will blow against a large
part OF the radiators surface. Turn
II on at a low speed. or at high II nec-
essary, and your cold room will soon
be thoroughly warmed. The philosophy
of the thing Is that steam at low
pressure carries much less latent heat
than steam at high pressure and
therefore warns the radiator 80 poorly
that only a slight draft of air rises
around the pipes. and condensation Is
slow. With the fan in operation there
is forced a draft against the radiator
that conducts a great deal more heat
away from the iron. cooling 1t SO that
much condensation of steam occurs in
side II. The heat thus snatched from
the reluctant radiator Is held in the cir
culating atmosphere Of the room. which
Is soon changed from cold to warm at a
trifiins cost for electric energy.

TO CLEAN PEARLS
Care Must Be Taken Not to Injure
Other Gems Set With Them.

| According to the gem experts in the
/ largest jewelry establishments In the
city. the only way to clean pearls Is to
wash them in lukewarm water with a
| light suds mace from white CASTLE
soap, and then dry by shaking in a box
filed with jewelry sawdust as soon as
the dirt is removed, for IL left wet the
gems may be injured. To free the set
ting around a pearl from dust, a soft
brush should be used, for nothing but
| fine hairs can get around the small cor
ners and clean the prongs, without dam
ger, of loosening the Jewels.
In cleaning a pearl ring or stickpin
surrounded by cluster of diamonds the
best plan is to put them in a bowl of
clear lukewarm water Then dip Inc
brush in the water, rub ii over q pure
toilet soap and make a thin suds on the
hand. then brush the jewels and set
ting carefully, until they look clean.
Care must be taken that no bits of
soap get on the gems. Occasionally
they will have to be soaped several
times to make them bright. The mo-
ment the dirt is removed rinse them in
lukewarm water and blow it OF quickly
80 the pearl will dry more rapidly when
put in the sawdust. Drop them in a
bowl filled with jewelers. sawdust and
shake them gently for several minutes.
When taken out If any fine particles
OF wood cling to the setting they should
be whisked of with small, soft. dry
toothbrush. leaving the pearls and
diamonds bright and lustrous.
Some women prefer using alcohol in
stead of boxed sawdust to dry the
stones, but unlesss person is exceed
ingly careful with 1t the setting may be
1oosened. Dip the ring just once In
once. The whole process of cleaning
pearls should not take more than from
six to ten minutes, and should be done
every two or three weeks when they are
constantly worn.
With half pearls or those that are
pierced not more than three or four
minutes should be allowed for this
cleansing, because the outer layer or
surface has been cut. and the water.
which in time causes discoloration. is
readily absorbed by the inner coats.
If the setting holding the pearls has
become tarnished. as It frequently does,
the best plan Is to have jeweler bright
en- and polish II, for 1t is difficult TO
brighten without the proper tools.
A pearl necklace should be carefully
brushed between the beads with soft
hairs but never dipped in water for as
a rule there is nothing to prevent the
inside from getting wet, and perhaps
darkening the surface or making spots.
When brushing no longer brightens the
pearls the necklace should be taken to
a jeweler, who will restring and clean
them for a trifling cost.

WHAT A PENNY CAN DO.
One Instance Where Fraction of q Cent on a Contract Nearly
 Brought Ruin.

Most Of the talk Is about millions" these days. and notice that young peo- pie, like older ones. are beginning to iook down on the pennies and to imagine that saving pennies is too slow alto gether for this age.
 Let me tell you a true story about recent big engineering contract that sho"S the value of pennies
 A great firm well known through the country. figured on an engineering con- tract few years ago. They had every thing calculated to the last cent except the cost Of some dredging. On this they couldn't quite figure within half of ono cent per cubic foot without getting moro facts.
 Wed better investigate" said the elder partner. and find out just how much we'll have to dredge."
 Nonsense, said the younger and, more active partner Tt Is only half q cent. and it's not worth bothering about '
 So they signed the contract.
 Alter they had worked six months it. developed that the firm would have to dredge away 10,000.000 cubic feet of material. If also turned out that if would cost them exactly only half a. cent per cubic foot more to do it than they were getting for It. Ten million cubic feet, al that half cent each. which the younger partner had said was not worth bothering about" amounted to just $50000
 The firm has been working three years now To fulfll contract at a heavy JOSS simply because man didn't con- slider that half a cent was worth bother ing about
