If you like your hands to smell
sweet, and to some people there IS
something positively intoxicatin 8
about pair of sweet hands, you can
make hand wash by taking qGart
of spirits of cologne, put it in a hall
gallon Jug, add an ounce of oil of ross
geranium and two grains of musk.
Let it stand a week then fill up
with spirits of cologne. At the end
of another week you will have as fine
a gallon of perfume as you will want.
When you are ready to wash your
hands with this sweet mixture take a
bowl of warm water and add to it a
pinch of powdered borax. Into this
put half wine glass of perfume.
Use no soap, but keep this water
for rinsing. 1t will impart lasting
fragrance which will remain upon
your hands from morning until night.
Have you ever tried putting up
your winter furs in perfumery?
Make some sachets and scatter them
through the storage chest, thus using
sachet powders instead of camphor.
You will find that the moths stay
away Just as we'll and the furs come
out in the fall smelling sweet.
And the same thing with clothes
those which you are putting away
until spring. Many of them are of
cashmere and light wool and you
don't want the moths to get into
them. Put them away between lay
ers of sachets and you will find that
you will have never a moth.
There is a story told of woman
who spent the summer upon the Jer-
sey coast where mosquitoes are thick.
Not wanting to be eaten alive she
sprinkled her bedroom with sachet
powder until the whole room was
filled with perfume. All night long
she slept in peace.
Animals do not as rule like strong
odors, and disease germs are particu-
larly averse to them. A strong odor
of rose will drive away many of the
contagious diseases, SO some scientists
affirm, and you can actually keep
yourself we'll by having nice smells
around you.
Altar of rose is very effective, but
unfortunately it is expensive. Oil of
rose geranium is very effective and
there are other extracts which can be
bought and used to good advantage.
In old fashioned German house
holds the custom prevails of buying
a certain amount of good perfume
every year. This perfume is bought
not to be bottled and preserved, but
to be used, and when it disappears
more is purchased.
The fad for distinctive odor is
dying away, and women are inclined
to scent themselves like an English
garden. An English garden is one
in which all the common flowers
grow, and when you take sniff OF it
YOU do not know whether you are
smelling violets or mignonette, gera-
NUNS or roses, delicate pansies or
strong heliotrope. Thus it is fash
ionable to mingle your perfumes.
The pine tree scent is the odor of
the moment, and wise women are
making little bags of pine and heap
ing them up, so that they and their
apartments may smell like pine

NOTES OF woMAN's WORK.

Miss Clarlbel David has been ap-
pointed assistant city attorney in San
Francisco, this being an unusual po-
sition for woman to occupy. She
graduated at the University of Cali
fornia and at the Hastings Law
School, and has been very successful
in her law practice.
For some weeks Mrs. William As
tor, leader of society and mistress of
millions, has been i'll in bed, but has
passed her time knitting scarfs for
poverty-stricken children. The chill
dren are not to be told the name of
the distinguished maker.
Anna Shaw devotes good deal Of
her time complaining that her sex is
not given fair opportunity to advance.
Her biography, recently published,
would indicate that she at least is
kept fairly busy. She is described
as an ordained preacher, a graduate
in medicine and lecturer who makes
a good deal of money in the last
named capacity.
The youngest notary public in In
diana is Miss Jessie Johnson. of Kok-
ONO. She is ID years old. She re-
ceived her commission last week,
duly signed by Governor Hanly and
Secretary of State Storms. Miss
Johnson is employed as stenographer
and typewriter at the Office of B. c..
Moon, attorney. The law does not
require any age limit for application
for notarial commissions. The only
qualification is that the applicant
shall have certificate of good moral
character from the judge of the Cir
cult Court.
Miss Alys Smith, who is by pro-
fession a journalist, has been given
farm in the Orange Free Colony by
the British government that she may
teach women the science of farming.
Her pupils must be English women,
for the Dutch wives and daughters
are said to be as we'll versed in raising
crops and caring for stock as the men,
and all the world knows what thriv-
ing race they are.
A London employment agency
gives it as fact that 1850 men are
now employed in general housework
in that city, and asserts that they are
far more amenable than women.
A Swiss woman, Miss Cecilie But
ticar, "a years old, is said to be the
first woman of European birth to take
up engineering as profession. This
young Swiss recently passed her ex-
animation with honors at the Unlver-
sity of Lausanne.
Mrs. Fannie Friscom Parsons is to
be the first person to fill the office of
director of farm colonies in New York
city, just created, according to report,
for her by the Board of Estimates and
Apportionment. For the last two
years Mrs. Griscom has conducted
nature study at Dewitt Clinton Park
gardens for the public school pupils
of Brooklyn---A-Many of these pupils
had never before seen such thing as
vegetable garden. Mrs. Griscom
will receive salary of So, 500. She
has worked hitherto without compen-
sation. She at first got leave to use
vacaL, lots, which the children culti-
waited under her direction. The farm
colonies have raised all sorts of veg
etables, besides keeping the children
out of mischief.

improper to wear a silk hat with a

were born to be hanged, but have
thus far escaped two maiden sisters
in-law of the vintage of I842. Since
the death of my wife these several re-
lations have lived on me like a pack
of cannibals. My mother-in-law is
sure my wife would have been alive
now if it had not been for my con-
duct. Ny brothers-in-law have diff
fered with me and also from me in
politics and all other questions they
have worn my clothes, spent my
money, and treated me with con-
tumely and derision. One of my
sisters-in law is stage e-struck, and the
other one has been subject to swoon-
ing spells for years. The whole out
fit has ground into me their superior
wisdom, their views of life and their
preferences in everything they have

Thereupon the speaker withdrew
into his she'll, leaving the inquisitive
passenger in a state closely bordering
upon collapse.

AVOID THE GOOD FELLOW .

Do not be a "good fellow" is the
trend of many preachment. Being
a "good fellow in the sense of the
day is perverting good fellowship into
weak submission to the Withstand
frequently the vices of the other .fel-
lows. 1t means go the pace, or be
called gutter. 1t is mighty allur-
ing to the young man whose red
blood corpuscles predominant, because
the young man hypnotizes himself
into the belief that to be good fell
low is to be broad-minded and gener-
GUS and democratic. Heis no tight
wad." He is well met with his kind.
But some morning this generous
youth wakes up to find that his feet
are on slippery places. He has not
gone the limit, maybe, but he has
been going some. And he finds it
hard to stop of.
The trouble with the average young
man is this: He has bad it drilled
into him that character is built up
not by weak giving way to the will
of others, but by fostering his own in
dividual. will power. He has heard
this, but he does not more than half
believe it. The times have changed
since father was young, and one must
90 with the times. The boy does not
know things by experience and theo-
r;es do not stand the strain when one
is young.
Many young men of today lack
force Of conviction, says an exchange.
When the powerful influence of hail
fellowship bears down on them they
weaken. Selfdiscipline has been
lacking. Easy consent is along the
line of least resistance. And having
once crossed the line it is difficult to
GO back.
Young man, if you want to succeed
in life do not be good fellow.

THE THINGS WE EAT.

Gregory E. Owens, food inspec-
tor OF Manchester, had an odd expert
ence the other day.
He was examining the meat in a
small butcher shop on back street.
The greater part of the meat was
fairly good, but there was one lot OF
pork aud beef that was rather ques-
tionable.
The butcher stood outside with a
customer. The inspector called him
in.
"Look here" he said, "what is
your opinion of this meat here?"
The butcher looked it over.
II had forgotten all about that, ;"
he said. cit is pretty old stock"
"Well, what isyour opirion of it -
"My opinion" said the butcher
slowly, "is that it is unfit for human
food; but it might do for sausage. p

HE HAD CoURTED HER TOO.

For nearly six hours had the court
been convulsed with the evidence
given in a sensational action for
breach of promise. The many ridic-
ulous love letters had been read, COM
mented upon, and heartily laughed
at; counsel had spoken, the judge
had summed up and the jury had re-
tired to consider their verdict.
"Well, gentlemen" said the fore
man, chow much shall we give this
young man?"
Look here" said one of the jury
men, eff 1 understand Alright, the
plaintiff doesn't ask damages for
blighted affection, or anything of that
sort, but only wants to get back what
he's spent on presents, holiday trips,
ETC."
THAT is so," agreed the foreman.
"Well, then, vote we don't give
him a penny" said the other hastily.
