TIE DAUGHTERS DUTY.
II Is TO Render Her Mother Helpful
Service in the Management
o. the Household.

A little less ornamental education
for the girls, and their ability and
willingness to make themselves use
ful in the household would tighten
the cares of the mother and tend to
enhance the happiness of the home.
In many cases daughters imagine
that their chief requirement is to
dress neatly and make themselves
eharmingly attractive. They are per-
fectly content to loll around the
house and let their mothers do all
the work. Nowadays. in some house
holds, the daughters are little more
than dodgers. They shun useful
duties, and the time soon arrives
when the mother discovers that her
daughters are mere ornaments. She
for whom they should have esteemed
il a privilege to work must content
herself with the service of others,
while her daughters go out into the
world TO bestow their sympathy and
energy on strangers. Now, this is
no fanciful condition of things, but
one Whlch happens every day. VI
course, we are not referring to the
girls who are obliged to go out TO
earn their livelihood. Their coarse
is clear, and everything must give
way before it. The exigency of cir
cumstances leaves no choice. But il
is quite possible to remedy this evil
somewhat. 1t is a mothers duty
to force household service from her
daughters, and not to rush and do
everything for them. Plenty Of time
can be found, in spite of study, for
minor services. In this way they do
not lose touch with you, but will
drop into the niche quite naturally
when school days are over. We're

CURES oF MELANcHoLIA.
Plenty 81 Exercise, Plenty Of Work
and a Lively Interest in the A.
fairs of the World.

The London Doctor makes a few
suggestive comments that can but be
helpful to many women. why do
SO many women have melancholia ?"
asked a physician who had a large
practice among depressed and nery-
Gus women. Because they don't
care to avoid it. Because they abso-
lutely disregard the rules of mental
and physical well being. Because
they would rather eat what they like
anu suffer indigestion and the blues
afterward than eat what is good for
them. Because they would rather sit
about on soft cushions than take a
tramp of six miles through the open
air. Because they haven't enough to
occupy their minds and their hands. ="
This observer of women says further
that it is never the women who have
cause to feel blue who indulge in
blues; and that the women with
shiftless husbands. sick babies and all
the usual aceompaniments of poverty
never become so depressed that they
have to be treated for it. They are
too busy; but il is the woman
with an adoring family, social posi-
tion and a comfortable income who
does not find life worth living. There
is no habit which grows so rapidly.
1t becomes a disease in a very short
time. 1t is wisely suggested that
every woman who has a tendency to
melancholia should have an occupa-
ton which. if it does not entirely abb
sorb her, win at least keep her busy,
and that she should give her mind up
to practical rather than theoretical
affairs. She should, for example,
study how to put an extra she9 in
cupboard, or how to stop squeahng
door, or how to make an overshoe
that won't come off at the heel,
rather than the teachings of the
school or the philosophy
of Herbert Spencer. Ordinarily good
health, plenty of exercise, plenty of
work, and an interest in the affairs
of the world are the great preyen-
tions and cures of melancholia.

larger and greater variety Of pieces
are prominent.
Compete dishes of cut glass are
among the table pieces more recent
ly adopted by the smart set, and a
trio of the latest shapes and cutting
designs are pictured in the accom-
panying illustration. The upper left
hand one shows the Ellsmere pat
tern, an unusual design that is much
liked. Next to it in the center, the
lower, squatty compete is of the Sui
tana pattern, one of the most favored
designs of all just now. The smallest
of the trio is called the Waverly cut
ting, and while the least expensive
its cutting is in inverse proportion
TO it's cost. The three shapes are
each entirely different, yet all desir-
able and in mode. The one cone or
lily-shaped cut-glass flower vase has
become so familiar and so much used
that one gives a warm welcome to
anything different, especially when it
is as attractive as is the new vase
pictured in the lower left-hand cor
ner of this group. This is an exceed
ingly pretty pattern, and in shape,
cutting and brilliancy is entirely un-
exceptionable. With the colonial fad
so prominent the cut glass candle
stick next the empress pattern will
find favor in many places in the
home, but particularly on milady's
dressing table. When topped by a
dainty white fower-shaped shade its
effect is charming. Goblets are being
more and more used for formal af-
fairs, and many predict their return
to vogue for everyday use. The COB

brilliant yet not costly in the ex-
treme either.-Chicago Daily News.

1t may seem presumptuous to sug-
gest that few people know how to
boil water. but such is the case. The
boiling point. under ordinary atmos-
pheric pressure (sea leven. is 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit; this point changes
according to the altitude. When bub-
bles form on the bottom Of the ket-

this point the Thermometer should
register $50 degrees Fahrenheit. and
it is at this temperature that we
cook meats and make soups. When
the bubbles begin to form on the
sides and surface Of the vessel and
come toward the top OF the water,
there is a motion in the water, but it
has not really reached the boiling
point. It is only when the thermom-
eter reaches PIP degrees Fahrenheit
and the water is in rapid motion that
1t can be said to boil: and the atmos-
pheric gases still continue to be given
off with the steam for a consider
able time after the water has COM
menced to boil rapidly; in fact. It is

The object of the invention shown
below is to increase the utility of a
lady's dressing table by the addition
of a secondary mirror, which is so
carried that a secondary image or
reflection is obtained. thus enabling
a lady to secure a full view of the
back of her head, and yet leave both
hands free to deal with the hair.
This additional glass is suspended by
two hinged arms from the supports
of the main mirror, provision being
made for extending these arms and
holding them vertically when the

scoLDING is AN ART.
Drawn Out and Give Each a
Hopeful Ending.

The woman in authority should
study consideration of other peoples
feelings. The common scold or the
continual fault-fnder is perhaps the
most disagreeable person in the
world, not only unhappy herself, but
making others So
Scolding, viewed in one light, is
really an accomplishment-that is
when used for the proper correction
of servants and children. If you feel
called upon TO deliver a rebuke to a
servant make 1t clear to the offender
that your displeasure is justified;
never lose your temper, but be calm
and dignified. for remember that
your bearing has much to do with the
respect that you are held in by those
under your authority. Never let a
scolding degenerate into nagging,
for IL you do you lose all claim for re-
spect from the delinquent and the
person at fault becomes your critic,
and very scornful critic at that.
Let all seedlings be gauged by the
error, but do not make any one rebulxe
long drawn out. Give each a hopeful
ending.
When properly administered a mer-
tied scolding quickly bears the fruit
Of better behavior on the part Of the
offending one.
Many wives have spoiled the good
nature Of their husbands by seizing
upon some fault, trivial perhaps, and
constantly dwelling upon it.
Where a home is made unhappy by
great fault of the husband, if he is
worthy Of loving and saving. he is
more effectively appealed to by ten
derness than by denunciation or
scorn. There are many men to-day in
the wrong path possessed Of worthy
attributes. who might be saved by
gentle reproof from the error Of
their ways. but are only spurred on
their downward course BY the unre-
lenting ferceness of a scolding wife.
Those who have been saved from evil
ways bear witness to the efficacy Of
the gentle sympathy and loving ad-
vice Of a true helpmate.--N. Y. World.

But they misjudged the woman.
She insisted upon using a nom de

woman. not the princess, would be
received. In this wise ELIZA beth and
Her German Garden" was published.
It's success was instantaneous.
The princess is a daughter of Mrs.
Cornwallis-West, the most famous
beauty Of a decade ago. and sister
Of Miss Shelagh West, who married
the duke Of Westminster. one of the
richest men in the world, his income
being Si,5oo,00O year. The princess
is blonde. of medium height, slender
and graceful. has an exquisite COM
plexion, gray eyes, and a charming
wit. She was married TO the German
prince nine years ago. King Edward
and Emperor William are godfathers
TO her son. born early this year. She
was IL when she married, the same
age at which her mother married.
and, like her mother. she had as one
of her most devoted admirers a future
king Of England. As her mother was

bert at heart is young, and perhaps
that is the secret of her success. She
attributes her fine health, high spir-
its and long life to her early train
ing as a dancer. She was a member
of the ballet in England, where she
was born and reared. When but 12
years of age she used to appear as
"supe" on the stage of the old Her
Majesty's theater that stood on the
ground where Beerbohm's Tree thea
ter now stands. She received les
sons in the ballet school as pay for
her services.
The actress married during her
early dancing days and while still an
English woman she toured England
with her husband. She came to
America in 1870. and from that time
has been thoroughly American in
feeling. She and her husband went
west upon their arrival in New York.
and for a long time they played in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio. Mrs.
Gilbert has had a vast amount of
experience in stock work, and has
played every conceivable kind of role.
She supported Edwin Forrest and
most of the famous stars. The vet
eran actress is best known to the
public as a member of Daly's famous
stock company. She went under
Days management in 1869, and re-
mained with him until the time Of
his death. She played mostly old
lady and character parts during the
rise and fall of many leading women.
She played with Fanny Davenport
when the plump Fanny was not yet
taking herself seriously and was as
signed to comedy roles. The dear old
lady laughs at her burden Of years,
and is as sprightly as in the days
when she played lively soubrette
roles.

CARMEN sYLvA's TALES.
"a Real Queens Fairy Tales Il the
Latest Hook from the Pen OF
Roumania's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen Of Roumania
whose pen name Of Carmen Sylvia i
known all over the world, has writ
ten a new volume Of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half dozen differ
snt countries. The American transia-
ton by Miss Edith Hopkirk is charm
ing in its simplicity and grace. George
I. b. Davis has written an enthusias-
tic introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life.
She Is a charming hostess and a brill
liant conversationalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
in half a dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs,
philosophical treatise, and an opera
libretto. but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity Of these tales
is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
ideas and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
TO hold a child spellbound. The
fairies are Of the good and noble va
riety. and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most unselfsh acts. The tales
breathe an eleyating influence, yet
their morals are not Of the dull or
obvious kind The moral is part of
the warp and woof OF the story.
The supernatural is a subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylva's fairy tales.
ii is used chiefly to give scope 10 her
own tastes and longings, as when she
creates a fairy that changes base
metal into gold TO aid in a deed OF
kindness, or when she causes a fairy
TO help a musician in writing a mas
terpiece Her love of the woods, of
birds and flowers. of music and chill
dren and Of gentleness and unselfish-
ness is embodied in these tales with
real literary art.
