THAT TRIP TO EUROPE.
A Few Hints For the Woman Who
Contemplates Taking 1t.

In the first place-and ! can't put
enough emphasis on this fact--don't
take heavy trunk with you. On the
continent you pay extra for your bag
gage, and 50 If you have an American
IRON bound trunk this means that your
baggage will cost you more than your
railway ticket. Then don't take many
clothes. You are going where clothes
are far cheaper and better than they
are here.
A good plan is to take an old tailor
made suit for steamer wear and to
Ftore it with the steamer trunk imme-
iiately on arrival in port. This leaves
you with a medium sized lightweight
trunk, which will hold street gown,
four or five blouse waists and couple
of evening dresses for hotel wear.
This is a great plenty. You do not need

How to reach safety In Fires.

Familiarlze yourself with the loca-
ton of windows and natural escapes.
Learn the position of all stairways,
particularly the top landing and scut-
tie to the roof.
Keep the doors of rooms shut.
Open windows from the top.
Wet towel, stuff it in the mouth,
breathe through it instead of nose so
as not to inhale smoke.
Stand at window and get benefit OF
outside air.
II room fills with smoke keep close
to floor and crawl along by the walls
to the window.
Never jump unless the blaze behind
is scorching you; not then IL the fire.
men with scaling ladders are near.
Never go to the roof unless as a last
resort and you know there is escape to
adjoining buildings.
In big buildings FIRE always goes to
the top.
Never jump through flames in a
building without covering the head
with blanket or heavy clothing.
Never get excited; try to recall all
the means of exit.

The Growing Chicks.

AS the chicks advance in growth they
will need more lime in their food, not
by adding lime (Which is too eaustic).
but by resorting to foods rich in the
lime salts, as wheat corn and oats
contain but little lime, says Poultry
News. They will also require more nj
trogen Ia their rations. Once a day at
least they should have a ration COM
posed of two pounds wheat bran, one
pound ground dried blood, two ounces
bone meal and four ounces iinseed
meal. The mess should be mixed with
barely enough water to hold the mix
ture together Do not use this more
than once every other day if the chicks
are thrifty, giving whole wheat and
cracked corn in preference, with miilgt
seed between meals.

WORDS or WISDOM.
How TO Talk Properly and In nm
Entertaining Way,

Be unaffected. be honest. In speaking
and writing. Never use long word
where a short one will do. Call d
spade a spade, not a well known OBJ
long instrument of manual industry.
Let home be a home, not a residence; a
place a place. not locality; and SO
of the rest, says the New York Journal.
Where q short word will do one al
ways loses by using long one. One
loses in cIearness, in honest expression
of the meaning. and, in the estima-
tion of all men who are competent to
Judge, one loses In reputation for abili-
~. Elegance of language may not be
in the power of every one. but simplici-
ty and straightforwardness are.
One should write as he would speak;
speak as he thinks. If with Interiors
speak no coarser than usual; IL with
superiors speak no finer. Avoid all
oddly of expression. No one ever was
gamer by slngularity of words or In
pronunciation
The truly wise man will so speak
that no one will observe how he speaks.
A man may show great knowledge Of
chemistry by carrying about bladders
of strange gases to breathe, but he will
enjoy better health and find more time
for business who lives on the common
air. When person uses queer ex-
preston or pronounces a name in
reading differently from bis neighbor
the habit always goes down, minus
sign before. 1t stands on the side of
deficit, not Of credit.
Avoid likewise all slang words.
There is no greater nuisance in So
ciety than a talker Of slang. Talk as
sensible men talk. Use the easiest
words in their commonest meaning.
Let the sense conveyed, not the We
hicle in which it is conveyed, be the
subject of attention.
Once more, avoid in conversation all
singularity Of accuracy One Of the
bores of society is the talker who is al
ways setting people right, who, when
you read from the paper that 10000
men fell in some battle, says that it
was 5000. Truth does not consist in
minute accuracy of detail, but in con-
veying a right impression, and there
are vague ways of speaking that are
truer than strict facts would be. When
the psalmist said, Rivers of water
run down mine eyes because men keep
not thy law" be did not state the fact,
but be stated truth deeper than fact
and also truer

VIE. the Little Chicks.

For very young chicks pinhead oat-
meal, miIlet seed and finely ground
bone--the latter kept in little boxes
where the chicks can help themselves
are excellent. Water given in man
ner so that the chicks can insert their
bills and drink without getting any
portion of their bodies wet should be
allowed.
The no water theory is the result of
forcing too much water down the
chicks in the form of soft food and of
chicks getting wet when drinking. The
result has been bowel disease, colds
and unthrifty chicks
AS chicks require exercise, give them
millet seed between meals in little piles
of sand, and they will scratch and
work industriously, picking up the
seeds one by one, the process Of diges-
ton occurring gradually as the seeds
are consumed.
How much to feed chicks must be
learned by observation. Chicks grow
so rapidly that an amount sufficient for
today will not answer the next day. 1t
also makes some difference whether
the chicks are of the same ages and
sizes. The only rule by which chicks
can be fed is to give them as much as
they will eat in troughs, and when
they leave the food remove the re-
mainder
Some feed chicks too often, thus tax
ing their digestive organs. Three times
a day, with screenings between meals,
will give better results and entail less
labor than feeding oftener.

How to FIJI a Fountain Pen.

If you use one of the little glass and
rubber filters, be careful to use it slow
" both in taking ink from the bottle
and in putting it into the pen so as to
avoid the air bubbles which hinder the
smooth flow of the ink when writing,
says Tom Watson's Magazine If the
bubbles form in spite of you. take the
slightly unraveled end of piece of
brown Irvine or splintered end of a
broken match and push it into the bub-
bles until they disappear.

how to wash Ribbons.

The washing of ribbons is not al
ways attended by the best results
The following is milliner's method
and most successful, says the Detroit
News-Tribune: Put the ribbon into a
basin Of warm water. rub on some
good white soap and wash as you
would anything else. While still wet
iron on the right side with a hot iron
and when dry rub between the hands
as if washing it until all the stiffness
Is out, then iron again to remove the
wrinkles When ribbons are washed In
this way 1t Is difficult to tell them
from new.

How to cure seasickness.

Bright red spectaeles. accompanied
by internal doses of caIomel, form a
new German specific against seasick-
ness. 1t is deducted from Epstein's
investigations on the influence of color
on the blood vessels in the brain. Sea-
sickness is due to lack Of blood in the
brain. while red sends blood to the
brain with a rush. By looking at one
point for some time through the red
glasses the patient Is rapidly cured.

Thus spoke Christian Altrock, 10
years old. Cincinnati carriagemaker to
Nicholas Altrock, 80 years old, grief
maker for the Cubs. when the two met
in front Of the players bench at the
Sox battlefield Tuesday. The father
grasped the son by the hand and
proved to the south sides idol that his

Mr.. AItrock, sr., came from Cincin-
natl to Chicago to use his lungs to help
out Mr. Altrock, jr., in his work Of
damaging the eyesight Of Mr. Muir

tradition that every hero is human, for
he freely told of the good old days
when Nick held IN awe a certain strap
hanging in the woodshed.
"Nick's been playing ball since he
was years old" said Mr.. Altrick. "At
that time he was the terror of every
vacant lot in Cincinnati, and I would
be ashamed to figure up the windows

used to be after him nearly all the
time, because he let his enthusiasm get

Then came the sixth with it's alternat-

worked to a white heat of impatience
and excitement by the grand struggle
they were watching. Tannehil started

and the injured player was helped from

strikes-that Mr.. Robe came to the fore
with his three sacker.
Pfeister struck out nine Sox and al

batsmen and hitting another. But By
