Women Electrical Workers.

An industry into which women are going is that of making electrical ap- paratus, and because it is comparative ly modern they have at starting, more nearly an even chance with men than in most other lines. In lamp work es- pecially more women are now employ ed than any one would suppose until an investigation had been made and this is because. perhaps, of the manual deXterty needed. The deftness of Wo- mans fingers is especially valuable in the delicate operations of inserting the tiny wires and filaments. The pre- liminary washing of the glass globes, which must be spotlessly clean. is an other job generally intrusted to women and girls. It is said that when paid by the piece a woman makes generally more than a man in many of these operations because of the greater ra- pitity with which she works.-Phila- delphia Record.

and deserves no attention. Some hair dressers will tell you that "singeing closes up the tube of the hair and thus prevents it's bleeding" Much harm has been done by such unscien- tific treatment, for the hair is not a hollow tube; neither does it ''bleed. v In clipping uneven and spit ends of hair the most thorough method consists in taking a strand at a time, twisting it tightly and then, while holding it at its tip with one hand. rough it up by running the finger tip and thumb quick ly up toward the scalp. In this way nearly all of the hair ends will be made to stand up and can then be clipped with the scissors. Many hairdressers clip the ends of new hairs all over the scalp. This greatly strengthens their growth after a few months.-Ladies Home Journal

Always Speak HOuefully.

If you find any one determined to talk failure and illness and misfortune and disaster, walk away, says Woman's Life. You would not permit the dear est person on earth to administer slow poison to you if you knew it. Then why think it your duty to take mental foods which paralyze your courage and kill your happiness? Do what you can to change their current of thought, but do not associate intimately with them until they have learned to keep silent at least if they cannot speak hopefully. Many vivacious young girl has come under the influence of just such q wet blanket and had all the joy of life talked out of her. Sunshiny wives are wanted in these days of hard toll and still harder competition

A Polish Snort

One of the favorite sports of Polish country gentleman is to capture q wolf alive, and as his mode of doing 1t Is probably new to many EngliShmen I will briefly describe it. 4 wolf being driven into the open, the we'll mounted horSeinan purSucS it, armed only with long whip and some rope The wolf after Il time tries to take rest but the rider forces it on with his whip till, after repeated attempts at rest 1t sinks exhausted. TGe rider then springs from his horsc jumps aStridc the wolf and, holding it by the ears, secures It with the rope. Most men require the assistance of q mounted companion, who ties the wolf while the other holds its ears with both hands, and in this way tho capture is comparatively easy, but to do it single handed is q difficult feat, Nasty bites and even dangerous wounds result should the hunter have miscalculated the strength of the ami nal No one, however, Is considered q perfect sportsman till he has done this, yet many never succeed. Of the large party assembled only our host, two of his stalwart brothers and one other man had obtained this blue ribbon of Polish sport.-Blackwoods Magazine.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES,

Dates are excellent for people witt consumptive tendencies, are very eas fly digested and contain abundance of sugar.
 Malic acid is peculiarly helpful tc the body. and apples, pears. plulns peaches and cherries all contain it Tomatoes also contain it.
 Potatoes, the old standby, contain all the inorganic elements of the body except fluorin. They contain quan- tity of potassium salts-good for nerve and muscle.
 Lemons are excellent for curing colds or allaying feverishness. Their citric acid supplies the blood with a cooling agent, making this fruit q febrifuge. Oranges act in the same way. but with slightly less strength.
 Tomatoes are among the fruits rich in potash, especially good for the blood and with marked action on digestive operations. They provide alkaline mat ter for the bile and are wholesome for people who suffer from jaundice or sick headaches.

USING < 5AS STOVE,
How to Meet the Problem of Keep-
 ing Things Warm

Keeping things warm is the problem Which confronts every user of gas stove
 Unless there Is a broling oven sepa- rate from the baking oyen--and this is an expensive there is nc room in the ordinary gas range fer keeping a course dinner hot. Even then the heat is of the kind that Is death to both the flavor and looks of the dishes.
 A way to manage warming oven which is perfect, besides being out of the way, is to get sheet iron or tin oven of the kind which Is made to go on over coal oil or little flat gas stoves Get just as large a one as you can pos sibly afford, as every extra square inch will pay you in more ways than one Get couple of deep iron brackets to set this OH aud fasten to the wall at a convenient height and distance from the stove. Under it set low box or fasten shelf and upon this set one of the little coal oil stove lamps that sell for little over q quarter. You will find that the heat is of the mild and even kind that keeps things per feetly. The top is an ideal place for raising bread, and things which re- quire slow baking, as custard or rice, can be cooked in it to the saving of gas.
 In kitchen ill which coal range keeps its place beside the gas stove the problem is made simple by setting the little lamp under the warming oven of the range while cooking by gas.-Exchange.

MuStY Bread.

When bread molds or tastes musty in a day or two after it is baked it shows that there is something wrong with the flour. There are several kinds of molds which will give musty smell to the bread without decomposing it. These are apt to be present in flour that has been kept in damp place, and low grade flour often contains them in a large quantity. The baking process kills the organisms, but the musty fla vor is not killed even by the heat. Also the chemical character of the bread is changed to one which favors the growth of any bacteria which may exist.

Ink Spots on Leather Chaira.

To remove ink spots from leather chairs try washing the spots with milk. renewing the milk till it is no longer stained and the spot on the leather has disappeared; then wash with warm water and when dry polish with boil ed linseed oil and vinegar mixed in equal proportions. But an ink stain should really be removed as soon as possible after it is made If it has dried and hardened it is doubtful even if, with several applications, you will be able to remove it entirely
