any wonder that when she enters on
her new life, with its thousand and
one fresh pleasures, duties and dis
fractions, she should cease to take
much interest in the work of her
school days? Unless she is really
intellectual woman she, as rule, drops
out of all the literary and artistic pur-
suits of her girlhood and becomes alb

Girls who marry very young for this

Although the air regenerator is de-
signed primarily for cooling the air

application is much wider than its
name would indicate. 1t is capable
not only Of decreasing the humidity
and lowering the temperature in a
room, but, if desired, as In the case of
room in a textile factory, it can in
crease the humidity and raise the tenn

When hanging your linen to dry use
two lines comparatively close and par.
allel for your tablecloths and sheets.
Throw one selvage side Of your table
cloth over one line toward the other,
allowing 1t to hang down about a quar-
ter Of yard and being careful to pin
It short distance from the ends.
Take the opposite for your cloth and
throw it over the other line, facing
the first line, and pin it in the same
manner. This will form sort of bag
and will prevent TO considerable ex-
tent the wild blowing Of the tablecloth

After the table linen is thoroughly
dried remove it from the line and
prepare to dampen 1t. A whisk broom
Is excellent for the purpose.
Table linen. In order to bring out
the bright gloss that makes 1t attrac-
tive, should be dampened quite con-
siderably. Sprinkle the tablecloths
freely. being sure that the sewage
ends or hemstitched borders are thor
oughly damp, says Woman's Life. Roll
up tightly, patting the roll frequently
to spread the dampness.

The various forms of work which
have taken for themselves the modest
name of handicraft have demonstrated
in striking way the immense posi-
bilities for decorative purposes which
lie hidden in the crudest materials.
Burlap is only a development Of bag
ging, and many another so called art
material" is nothing more than a stuff
Of homely origin, says an exchange.
Yet for their purposes these ruder
stuffs have in them a certain style that
the more finely woven stuffs utterly
lack. The coarsest crash made can be
turned into the most artistic sort Of
hangings by stenciling, while a deli
cate silk stuff, though 1t might be pref
tily stenciled, would be utterly lacking
in character.
Table covers and couch covers are
made Of rough bagging, treated in a
boider way, Of course, like the delicate
Mexican drawn work. the same spider
webs and butterflies woven Of threads
in the open corners left, while threads
that cross are drawn. That same bag
ging can be stenciled or motifs of II
in colors may be appliqued into it. each

thread-not unlike sort of glorified

Vegetable SpOnges,

The cultivation of vegetable sponges
is making progress in Algeria. About
ten species of the plant are known,
and they are cultivated in Asia and
Africa, being extensive in the regions
of Algiers and Oran. Prior to matur-
ity the fruit is edible. When the stage
of ripeness, however, has been passed
the pulp becomes separated from the
fibrous matter which then forms the
spongy mass entitled the vegetable
sponge. Fine specimens when bleach
ed in a weak lime bath are sold at
about nickel apiece. Paris is at
present the chief market for most of
the vegetable sponges grown in AL
giers. They are suitable not only for
toilet and bathroom, but also for do
nestle purposes.

To the Engaged Girl.

Start finding out the cost of food.
Learn the cuts of the joints also when
certain items of diet such as game, fish,
etc, are in season. Then study cooking.
Even though your lovers income may
be sufficient to provide reliable serv-
ant or servants, you should, neverthe-
less, know thoroughly how everything
should be cooked. Then, in the matter
of homework, master all its details. Do
not imagine that because you will not
have to sweep rooms, clean silver and
burnish brass you need know nothing
Of such work. On the contrary, you
should be proficient in every housewife
ly -ifle or you are not fit to be an en-
ployer of domestic labor.

IMPROVED RAIL BOND.

ing engraving. 1t comprises con-
ductor in the form of a rod, which is
bent to enter holes in the webs of two
adjacent rails. The ends of the rod
are threaded to receive pair of nuts,
which enter the holes in the webs The
nuts are formed with frustro conical
ends, and as the nuts are screwed up
on the rod they not only draw the rod
into close contact with the webs of the
rails, but also wedge their frustro con-
ical ends tightly into the holes in the
webs. This insures an exceedingly
good electrical connection between the
adjacent rails. 1t will be evident that
the new rail bond can be applied to
rails as now constructed.

DUSTLESS ROAD BALLAST,
Illinois Central Railway Using Wa
ter Washed Gravel

Prospects of dustless roadbed with
out the use of oil or cut stone is pleas
ing officers of the Illinois Central road.
Though gravel is conceded to make the
easiest riding roadbed, its dust has
made it a nuisance to the travelling
public.
Recently the Illinois Central COM
pany began taking gravel out of the
Mississippi river at the Memphis bars
with centrifugal pump. The gravel,
being washed for centuries, is free
from soil. The only thing on it is sand.
and all but % per cent of this is wash
ed off after it is taken from the river
The first of this new ballast is being
used on the YaZoo Valley line 1t is
clear and clean and dustless. Gravel
taken from pits has soil clinging to it
which can never he washed off, mean
ing that the track under which it is
placed must always be dusty.
AS the pumping betters the river
channel, the Illinois Central is free to
take all it wants from the Mississippi.
The new found ballast will be used on
all lines of the system.

Consul Marshall Halstead writes
from birmingham that some Of the I'M
dertakers in England have combina-
ton hearse and coach with a strong
but ordinary type of four wheeled run
ming gear. The front part of the We
hicle is hearse and the rear is a car
riage, with seats along the side, pro-
viding accommodation for about eight
persons, glass partition dividing the
hearse, in which the coffin is placed,
from the carriage. This combination
hearse and carriage, with one pair Of
horses and one driver, can be rented at
a low figure and provides an eco
nomical funeral. Where economy is
not a necessity there would seem to be
appropriateness in the immediate char
acter of the attendance Of the pail

In China, where smallpox has been
known and studied for more than
1900 years, red applications have been
used in the treatment of the disease
for many centuries. The Chinese wash
the patients body with red lotions and
hang red curtains around the bed. This
seemingly nonsensical practice can
now be shown to be based on sound
scientific principles and is adopted by
up to date physicians. who have dem
onstrated that the virtue of this pro
cedure lies in the fact that the red
color prevents certain chemical rays of
light from reaching the skin, ON which
they have an irritating effect.

A SUBMARINE KITE,
Sounds warning TO Ships when
They Enter ShoaI Water

The strangest of all kites yet invented
is one constructed by the famous
Swedish engineer Sjostrand This kite
Is to fly beneath the waters of the sea.
1t is made of light canvas adjusted to
light but strong metal frame and in
shape is not dissimilar to the aerial
kite except that it is made in two sec
tons, the lower and smaller one de-
pending from the upper, with which
1t is connected by sort of coupling
The object sought by Mr.. Sjostrand
was to provide ships with an ever
ready automatic guard or watch that
would give instant alarm if the vessel
enters shoal waters and is approaching
a spot where the depth is not sufficient
for safety.
The under water kite is fastened to q
thin wire cable attached to winch on
deck.
When the kite is thrown overheard it
sinks in consequence of the oblique
pressure brought to bear upon it by the
water just as the land kite Is raised
and maintained aloft by the pressure
of the air.
With the winch the kite is lowered or
raised at will, and forming portion of
this winch is scale and register Il It
tells the depth in fathoms or meters at
which it is floating.
The curve of the cable to which the
kite is attached never varies, whatever
the speed of the vessel or the condition
of the weather, so that the kite always
remains at the exact depth fixed by
the winch.
The purpose of the water kite is to
float beneath or beside the ship at a
depth that is sufficient to insure safety.
If at any time, day or night, the lower
section of the kite strikes bottom the
signal pencil, as it is called, instantly
releases the coupling with which it is
secured to the upper section and an
alarm bell is sounded on the deck of
the endangered vessel.

Spanish Frftters.

An excellent way to use stale loaf
of bread is to make what are known as
Spanish fritterS. Cut stale bread into
even slices. Dip each into mixture
Of egg and milk, using one egg to
cup and a half of milk. Butter hot
frying pan and brown the slices in it.
Serve them hot, either with a little
powdered sugar and cut lemon or with
a bit of currant jelly. Sometimes a
pinch of grated nutmeg is added to the
egg and milk, and as this is a sufficient
flavor when it is used the lemon will
not be needed.

Baby's Eyes.

Absolute cleanliness is one Of the most
important things to consider. The in
fant's eyes should be bathed two or
three times day and dried with q
very soft fine towel or handkerchief.
If, as is sometimes the case, the eye
lids get incrusted from cold or other
causes, great care is needed to prevent
the lashes being pulled out when the
matter is removed. The proper course

apply very little pure vaseline to the

Cloud Shooting,

Cloud shooting is becoming a regular
form of artillery practice in many con-
tinental countries. The object of this
atmospheric gunnery is to dispel threat
ened hailstorms. The most recent form
OF gun is funnel shaped barrel of
iron. with broad muzzle, so that the
discharge shall be distributed over as
large space as possible. The effect
of the discharge is to create small
but powerful whirlwind, which, it is
found, disperses clouds that would
otherwise descend in hail. So strong
is the gust Of wind sent upward that
1t sometimes kills or disables birds fly
ing at great heights overhead
