Buying Remnants.

It is seldom the part of wisdom to buy remnants of anything unless they are of length to make some complete garment. Odds and ends of silk, lace, insertion ard passementerie may look irresistible on the counter in company with others of their kind, but what are they good for when you get them home? Shirtwaists, fancy stocks. guimpes and so on may be concocted with success out of marked down bits and shreds, but to buy odd lengths ot things at random, hoping to employ them on new gowns or wraps, is gen erally foolish. Unless one buys with an exact use in mind one is apt to find ones self burdened with a lot of i'm possible things, and there is certainly no economy ill that.

TRAINING THE CHILD,
Early Lessons In Obedience Are Ah-
 solutely Essential.

The first time that a child makes a mistake, and all childish wrongs &.e but mistakes, it Is the duty and privi- lege of the parent to make that child understand that the act is wrong and why it is so. \ child is neither q toy nor nuisance to be endured. but the greatest opportunity for doing good Of fered to man and womankind
 Can you teach truth and obedience if you tell the story of the big black man. only to be held in contempt when the brain, which at least is your equal. develops enough to find you out : Last year after attending d luncheon l went with a friend into her apart ments in the same building to see her three ycar-old son. In the corridor she explained to me that he had not wish ed her to go to the luncheon and that sine had told him that she was goina only to the basement and had passed through to the other side of the build ing without being seen by him. We en- tered. and there stood the sternest of little judges. with face like thunder Clouu, WllH ulIoFSlElnS eyes ana ScOfn- full mouth As his mother approached him he backed to the farthest corner of the room and cried. "Go away bad mother: you said-yeu sad"- And then be sobbed bitterly. and I thought bet ter of his mother that the tears rolled down her face as she took his little unwilling body into Ter arms No stage ever told a more tr2~n incident The mother told me that she had learned d lesson, but how much better to have learned that lesson N-.iil0i?t scars O., the heart and mind of ller litt!e son
 To teach obedience Ee@.n when ttt child first acts of his oT-1 v9litiGn. when the tiny hand tifSt reaches fer the thing 1t should not touch Gently, but firmly, draw tine hand bae& until ii ceases to reach. The child will look into your face, and the expression N.l impress him. Be W2tchful. persistent and consistent, and you will teach him to let the article alone without q blow.

How Shall We EntertainS

How shall we entertain? Joyously! Pleasure is contagious Remember. hostess, every house has its climate. Some are in the torrid, some in the temperate, some in the frigid zone. Re member, moreover, that you create the climate of your house. More impor- tant than the style of your dress. the ordering of your banquet, the setting of your table. is the mood in which the appointed hour of entertainment finds you. When the doorbell peals to the ring of the first arrival put aside all thoughts of how you look, how your drawing room looks, how good, bad or indifferent the dinner may prove, Ban
 every care, meet your guest with
 ing on your mind save the antici l. pn of passing and helping him to
 a delightful hour. If you can do
 the battle is already half won.-

Weak Eyebrows.

In the case of weak eyebrows their growth can be greatly encouraged by brushing with soft brush. This does world of good, says the London Queen. No one under any circumstan- ces. young or old, should cut the eye brows. but many who boast of the prettiest arched ones and of the fullest growth owe this to the excellent habit of combirg them from the side Of the face toward the nose. This is very good for them and will often thicken them. Vasenne and fatty creams are beneficial for the actual eyebrows, but the danger is they may be allowed to go beyond. and so encourage the growth of i.serfuous hair.

VI ON FAME AND FOR.
 TUNE AS AN EXPLORER

\ foFo.9n eNHlo- er a=d 2iPlamat to whom the United States owed much in the negotiations resulting iii the purchase of Alaska from Russia died on January 1 at his home i'll Montre- al, Canada. He had for some time suffered from heart trouble. but the end came suddenly He was in his siXty-ei2hth year.
 This man was NJ. Francois Merci- CT, a native of St Paul I'Ermite. FAs- somption parish. Qubec. and mem Der of the noted French Canadian family of that name. His history was one full of romantic interest. and few men so actively engaged in the opening up of the great West and Northwest lived to sae such marvel ous changes in those reg ons. At an early age he developed strong de sire for travel and adventure, and when but IS left home to embark ol the career destined to bring him both international fame and independent fortune.
 Just as i'll later years it made use of his services, the United States first offered a field for the display of his adventurous tra ts of character in it's then undeveloped western domain Al ter a few months spent in St. Paul, Minn.. the wGuld-be pioneer pushed on to St. Louis. Mo-, and there So cured enrolment with the N0rthwcs company to engage ill $ fur trade Under these auspices inc sphere of his activity WAS the country lying he tween the Missouri river and the Rockies, and the list of his adventures With the Sioux Indians is ono abound ing in blood-stirring details. In the later 50s these formidable royers Were enc of the great problems confronting both the government and the fur trader His escapes from the scalp ing knife were numerous and on one occasion the adventurous young French Canadian was ferced to make hasty retreat 10 one of the com pany's forts, hotly pursued by the red- skins.
 Like his celebrated fellow towns nlan of Montreal, Lord Stratcona, he amassed a fortune in the fur trade. and henceforth gave himself over largely to scientific exploration, the Writing of books on his travels and 10 broad philanthropy, in which latter the greater part of his fortune was spent. Following h S experiences in the western states, he turned his at tention to Alaska, certain parts of which he claimed to be the first white man to explore. These early eXpedi- tons into the future Fl Dorado of the Northwest were made while it WAS still Russian territory, and because of the knowledge thus acquired he vas one of those chosen to go to Russia on behalf of the American g9v- ernment to negotiate the Alaskan pun chase, or, as it was then famliarly
