To Hang Up n Dress Skirt.

Don't turn a dress skirt wrong side out before hanging it up, no matter how delicate color it is. Nothing ruins the set more quickly, which is soon evidenced by the creases which creep here, there and everywhere.
 It's natural enough, for the outside must necessa rily be made little larger and looser than the lining, and revers- Ing the usual order of hanging is bound to react i'll some unpleasant way.
 If the skirt is a delicate color, make a big bag of white muslin to slip 1t in while hanging up or pin white cloth big enough to cover 1t over 1t. taking care in either case to have the covering hang from the hook or from the coat hanger instead of dragging upon the skirt itself

THE HOME DOCTOR.

Salt has both cleansing and healing power and is therefore an excellent application for superficial ulcers.
 If you feel i'll and don't know what is the matter. take a hot bath, q drink of herb tea and go to bed for twentyfour hours.
 When griping pain occurs in the ab- domen a strong aperient should be talk en at once. Pads made of hot flannels will sometimes give relief until the medicine has acted.
 Hiccough Is variously set up-one way is by taking hot drink when the stomach is empty. One way of treat ing it is to pinch the nose and drink about half tumblerful of cold water.
 Castor oil may be most easily taken mingled with orange juice, little sug- ar being added to the juice if the or ange is not sweet. The difference be- tween this and any other mode of talk ing this valuable medicine is surpris- ing

WON'T Go
 WITHOUT CAT
So Waterbury Horseman Is Trying to Teach Pussy How to
 Pace.

It greatly troubles Fred Hunt of Wa terbury, Conn.,. that this particular cat cannot pace mile in 2:15-because Grace Davis, the mare he is training, can. For wherever the mare goes the cat has to go, else the mare is uglier than the mischief.
 The cat, q big Maltese, and the mare have developed a remarkable affection for each other. Grace Davis refuses to sleep at night unless the cat is snug gled in the straw by her side. After the stable boy shakes down her bed she paws an open spot, in which tue cat must lie. In the daytime the cat goes to sleep on the mares back, and she snffs at the cats fur and atfec- tionately rubs her nose along the cats back. When the mare is exercising the cat follows aud keeps as close as she can and is always at Grace's heels when she returns to the stable.
 Should the mare be kept away from her own stable for a night she gets sulky, and it is feared when she is taken to the races the Maltese will have to line up and pretend to start anyhow or Grace will be diSgraced as a Dacer

MODEL NURSERY.
The Right Kind of a Room For the
 Little Ones to Have.


 The House Beautiful describes a model nursery, not a handsome room with furniture made to order. decorat- ed walls and nursery rhyme pictures, but simply big, sunny room at the top of the house. In one corner Is the girls doll house. On a zine covered stand under the window is q szeable gas stove with an oven and two burn CTS. Here the children make candy and bake apples; here the little girls wash and iron their dolls clothes with out let or hindrance from the rulers of the kitchen. There is a deep closet to this room, with drawers allotted to each child. In the lowest drawer are old gowns of mothers. old hats of ia ther's, the loveliest old artificial flow CTS, parasols, shawls deectable and ey- erything you can imagine for dressing up or play acting. A very small room adjoining is fitted up as q workshop for the oldest boy. \ carpenters bench fills most of the space, having clamps and vises and drills aud screws and other mysteries requisite to the handicraft. \ shelf runs round the room, holding models of various things. tins of glue, stains and varnish A cabinet of tools hangs oa the wall.

 PARLOR ENTERTAINING.
Every Girl Should Re Prepared to
 Do Her Share.

Fortunate is the girl who can boast of some entertaining "parlor trick the admiration of all her less accom- plished sisters who sit around the wall and listen and bemoan the fate that endowed tbem with too little ambition to practice up in some special line.
 But in reality there is hardly girl who could not if she would cultivate some talent. Recting is one of the popular arts, and very little knowledge of the laws of acting is required to sue cessfully reproduce' some little sketch or amusing poem. The great thing in these .'parlor tricks" however, is al ways to avoid hurting people. So great care should be taken ill the choice of subjects in the little charac- ter studies. Illness and money trou- bles should be left off the list, as you never can tell when you are treadirg on dangerous ground.
 Piano or violin playing is always ac- ceptable, but long and heavy com position should not be given unless sure that the audience wants it.
 Very amusing and entertaining Is the girl who can tell fortunes. whether her methods are palmistry, cards or tea leaves The only things for her to re- member are not to tell narrowing fu- ture events, because you never know what supersttous natures you are dealing with, nor to talk in an uncon- vincing way. Don't be afraid to i-@ statements as if you were perfectly confident of your claryoyant powers.- Brooklyn Eagle.

ISOLATE DEGENERATES
Benefits to Society from Segregation

There is no reason why society should not relieve

ference Of Charity and Correction. This can be
ACCOMPLISHED very easily. Mr.. Johnson told the
