kNEADING WITH THE KNEES.

italian bakers are all knock-kneed,'
said globe trotter.
why? Because they knead their
bread with their knees. This en-
larges the knees and deforms them,
causing them to interfere in walking.
II have often watched italian
bakers at work. They kneel on the
dough, and, holding on to a high sup.
port with their hands, they prod and
twist and thump the white mixture
with great vigor.

plenty of humor.
One morning club friend of hts OF

He had not connected his defective

And about still water and surf
bathing? What part ought they TO
play in the vacation schedule?"
"A very moderate part. Unfortu.
nately in too many cases persons who
care about going into the water at all
are inclined to indulge immoderately
in bathing and swimming. A good
general rule, pretty safe rule, is
never to indulge in either surf or still
water bathing oftener than once a day
and never to stay In the water longer
at time than half an hour.
ITO a practised eye many persons
on their return from the seashore show
the result of overbathing in their skin.
The ska has natural function and
If washed too often this function S
hindered and the results are not
pretty.
"The danger of catching cold from
sitting on the beach in wet bathing
suit, even If the sun is not shining, is
scarcely worth considering in connec-
ton with persons in normal condition.
1t is almost never, | think, that one
suffers that penalty."-New York Sun.

HEART OF OAK.

In my Grandmother's garnet, re-
member years ago,
When / was but little chap, of six,
or seven or SO,
An oaken chest, both deep and wide,
In whose capacious, black inside
! did my childish treasures hide,
That none might see;
Save Phyllis, bless her heart, aged
five;
She held the key.
My odds and ends I now must guard
in more exposed places.
The good old chest now overfiows with
sheets and pillow-cases.
But in my heart, down buried deep,
A priceless treasure still / keep,
Where prying folk may come and
peep,
But nothing see;
Save Phyllis, bless her heart, aged
well;-
She holds the key.

THE HICKORY TREE.

When in ancient Eden stood
Trees in primal brotherhood
God, the planter, to them spake:
Mine to plant, but yours to make;
One almighty Factor wills.
One eternal current fills.
Earth give in free bequest
Serve it will for trees the best
Stroke to build, and stroke to charm,
Heaven to please and earth to swarm.
Genius hath each class complete,
Time can mar, nor fate defeat
Grandly rearing meath the stars
Feuds to meet nor wanton wars;
Spare. o man! the hickory tree,
Grid will for century.
Has it wrought by Natures laws?
Rest-wise winter did it pause
Giving slumber till the spring
Fresh warm sap did freely bring;
Through and through its reaching
limbs
Speeds the current,-(so 1t climbs)
Coursing to remotest twigs
Fluid sweet as sweetest figs
Urgent,-and the quick buds swell
Leaf and bloom, and wood do fill;
Every atom by it found
Deity lifted from the ground;
Wrought within swelling bole--
Who can say If not sorl'
Noiseless, save, when wind bestirre4
Praiseful voice the Planter heard:
Spare, oh, spare the hickory tree
Grid it we'll for century!
Has 1t paid a landuse tax?
Natures law Is never lax.
Prime her rule, and primely writ,
And the sun enforces 1t.
Every tribute hath this tree
Brought for planter willingly:
Holding not potion small:
Freely giving,-giving all:
That when ripe Its leaves were cast
Stood 1t naked to the blast:
Piqued nor murmured, then to see.
Fruit for man to gathered be;
Spare, oh, spare. the hickorJ tree,
| Fruiting rich and savory!
Ancient planted, honored Gtood,
Tempered by the sun and food
Hath this tree, of lineage old,
Sought and kept New England's fold:
Kindly hiding those DEGREES,
Ruling Natures families.
Stood to worship, when the morn,
Mapped Bright visions on the lawn;
Every one, type and true.
Something living. something new
Spread upon her canvas earth,
Natures imagery. her mirth:
Stood and met the tempest shock,
Man nor dare, nor could unlock:
Stood, when dawned his fated day..
Swiftly swept, like mist away;
Dropped to earth, to crave bed,
Where its reaching rootlets led
Timely servers, those, do find
Life from death, as kind from kind
Who would stay, or who dispel,
This fair tree perennial?
| Welded to New England soil.
Troubled not be spade nor toll,
Thriving, as her sons of thrift
Sturdy be, In manly gift
Loves her freedom, plants her hills,
Plots her meadows, drinks her rills,
Crowns her mountains, marking
graves,
OF her freemen never slaves.
Who to see, but honor gives,
For this tree all nation serves;
Cheers the landscape, wood and field
Rich at autumn, rich doth yield
Golden LEAKAGE, richest worn
Aught of trees In forest born;
Calls the robin where may build
Nest secure, a songful guild:
Wooes the herds where cool retreat
Rest and slumber from the heat.
Stilled at evening, when the thrush
Sounds the hour for peaceful hush.
Fills its being, fills the years i.
Faithful, as the tide or spheres,
That its life long record Is
Blemished by no butcheries;
Spare, oh, spare the hickory tree,
Seized with p,rao4 1au0a.ifvf

The "Fit" of Clothes.

More and more it is becoming alb
solutely essential, in order to be
weii-sowned, says Harper's Bazaar, to
have every detail of dress attended
TO, no matter how simple or mex
pensive the materials. First of all,
the gown must fit well, and here is
one reason why the French woman
is better dressed than the American
Every article of her lingerie fits we'll
OF course lingerie is less expensive
in France than in America, but even
here it can be made at homie at
much less cost than if bought at the
shops. With good pattern and the
expenditure of some time the best
results can be obtained at very small
cost. A well-cut, properly hanging
petticoat is absolutely necessary.
Just now taffeta silk of good quality
can be bought at reasonable prices,
even as low as so to rs cents a
yard. At this price silk petticoat
is not an extravaganza If it is used
carefully. 1t may be replaced by
one with a flounce of waterproof mo-
hair for rainy days, or the rainy
day skirt may be heavy enough to
be worn without any long petticoat
Many women who Gre inclined to be
stout wear only silk or cotton union
suits with no petticoats at all-only
the usual drip-skirt in the dress. A
silk petticoat may be made, coming
to the knees, as silk fits smoothly
over the hips, and to the hem may
be buttoned the lower part, of silk
flounces to match the top.
