A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit 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 firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " 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 ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound
pain in the abdominal region. and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegc-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact

of beating it to bruise the fibers.

each side will be thoroughly scared.
then prop up your broiler SO as to be
little farther from the fire, for the
slower heating through. That cooks
the inside juices without losing them.
Melt small piece of butter in two
tablespoonfulls of vinegar and pour it
over the steak while hot. This makes
an appetizing gravy. Lemon Juice can
be used instead of vinegar, if pre-.

Russian Epicurean Coffee.

This coffee is made of quantity OF
coffee, fruit and cognac in an open
bowl. The coffee is first laid in the
bowl and a quantity of finely chopped
apples and pears make a second layer
The whole is then covered with cog
nae, which is lighted, and there re-
mains a highly aromatic and delicious
syrup which is the epicure's idea of
Russian coffee. At first this appears
strange drink. but it soon becomes
very popular. The idea of using fruit
with coffee seems to be confined to
the Russians, but it suggests interest.

Use of Amber Combs,

Probably the newest decoration for
the hair Is the use of amber combs of
all descriptions. Very light amber for
very dark hair. dark amber for very
light blonde hair, always seeking as
great a contrast as possible. Further
more, as to the style of the combs, all
of them have the olive shaped tops. A
large comb is used in the back with
at least two side combs. Since the
run on gold-mounted combs, and the
consequently cheapening of the style
has come about, the beautiful trans
lucent amber comes as a welcome
change, and it is universally becoming
not only to blondes, but to brunettes.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered. this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thfckening

Serve as liiuminants.

The fre-flies of Jamaica emit so
brilliant a light that a dozen of them,
enclosed within an inverted tumbler,
will enable a person to read or write
at night without the least difficulty.
Indeed, it is an expedient to which
many resort. These flies are in size
as large as a common hive bee, and
perfectly harmless. Their appearance
in unusual numbers acts as barom-
eter to the natives, and is an indica
ton of approaching rain.

The extraordinary popularity of fine

AROUND THE HOUSE
LITTLE POINTERS THAT ARE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.
Grape Juice a Pleasant Winter Drink
and Easily Made-Rus from
Bits of Colored Silks
and Ribbon.

A pleasant winter drink is grape
Juice, which can be easily made at
home for very much less than is
charged in the shops. To make a
drink that will keep for two years in
a dark place, add one quart of water
to three quarts of picked grapes and
cook until the grapes are broken up.
Strain twice, once through cheese
cloth, and once through flannel. Add
sufficient sugar and boil, being careful
not to make too sweet syrup; one or
two cupfuls of sugar to two gallons
of juice should suffice, according to
the flavor OF the fruit. Bottle it hot
and seal securely. A mixture of two
or more kinds of grapes gives the
best result. Delaware and Niagara,
and Catawba, Niagara and Concord
being excellent combinations. A
quart can be made for as low as ten
cents, If the fruit is bought when it
Is at bottom price. and preserved
quickly.
An entree which is easy to prepare
and seasonable just now Is baked to,
matoes. For this dish select six large,
smooth. ripe, and round tomatoes
Put them in a baking pan with the
stems down. Cut a thin slice from
the smooth end of each and take out
as much pulp as possible without
spelling the firmness and shape. Mix
the pulp and juice with bread crumbs
little chopped meat-ham or lamb
or chicken is the best-salt, pepper, a
little butter, a quarter of a green pep
per, and half teaspoonful of onion
Juice. Fill the tomatoes with the mix
ture, replace the little lids, and bake
for about three-quarters OF an hour
Serve with garnish of parsley.
Probably everybody knows that
very pretty rugs can be made from
bits of colored silks and ribbon, but
in case some one has q lot of pieces
and does not know what to do witt
them, we make this suggestion. Sc
lect only bits of harmonizing shades
pink and brown, red and dull greer
and black. yellow and dark green. pur
pie, black and cream color, and cu
the pieces into strips of even width
sewing the ends together firmly. Rol
into balls and send them to weaver
of carpets, with instructions not tt
use any discordant color for binding
them together. You will be surprised
at the soft, artistic effect of ole
scraps. A really charming portiere OF
couch-cover will be the reward of {
little patience and very little expendi
ture.
The walls of kitchen should be o
vanished or painted plaster, or GOV
cred with a heavy glazed paper sucl
as are used in bathrooms. A wains
cot OF tiles or vanished wood save!
the plaster where it is likely to ge
many knocks, and should be protect
ed at the base by narrow Dashboard
fitting tightly so that no cracks cal
admit Objectionable visitors from th
neighboring flats. Floors should b'
covered with good linoleum, unless
the architect has put in tiles, whicl
are the ideal flooring. A painted woo'
surface would be satisfactory if it dt'
not need constant renewing, as th
use OF scrubbing brushes and soal
soon washes il off.
Plenty of shelves and drawers, or
patent kitchen cabinet are great help
to the woman whose time is spent il
cooking.

In the United States. the total value of the

only $3.50, 094. Mocha is a trade term; 1t is
used to describe a variety of coffee SINH
lar to that which was formerly received
from Arabia through the port of that name,
but nearly all the supply comes from the
Central American states.
Arabia is capable of producing an unlim-
tied amount of coffee, cotton, sugar and
other products by irrigation. The peninsula
has an area of 100000 square miles. and
two-thirds of 1t could easily be cultivated,
The remaining one-third is an irreclaimable
desert. The climate along the coast Is hot.
humid and unhealthy. but in the interior II
is delightful and healthy as any in the
world. There mountain peaks as high
as 1900 feet, very extensive plateaus hav-
ing an altitude of from 5000 to 5000 feet,
with a remarkably fertile soil. There is
plenty of water for irrigation. The entire
territory seems to be underlain with sub
terranean water courses, and Ii is only
necessary to bore twenty-five or thirty feet
to obtain excellent well. The possibili-
ties of the country are very great, and with
a good government the people of the cities
would rapidly accumulate wealth and the
could raise two profitable
crops a year. -

Eugenic certificates, according to Mr..
Francis Cations proposal. would be issued
by suitably constituted authority to those
candidates who chose to apply for them and
were able to pass the necessary tests
Such certificates would imply an inquiry
and examination into the ancestry of the
candidate as we'll as into his own constitu-
ton, health, intelligence and character;
and the possession of such a certificate
would involve a superiority to the average
In all these respects. No one would be
compelled to offer himself for such exarni-
nation, Just as no etne Is compelled to seek
university degree, but it's possession would
often be an advantage. There is nothing
to prevent the establishment of board OF
examiners of this kind tomorrow. and we
may be sure that. once established, many
candidates would hasten to present them
selves. There are obviously many posi-
tons In life wherein certificate Of this
kind of superiority would be helpful. But
Its CHIEF distinction would be that its pos
