USEFUL HINTS.

Here are several uses for salt: Put
a pinch in the eggs you are beating,
and they will be light in a much
shorter time.
Sprinkle it on the fire and you will
gain the blue flame so much desired
for brailing steaks or chops.
Sprinkle it in the bottom of the
oven and your cakes will not burn.
: Pour it quickly or spilled claret or
the liquid before it has time to stain.
Salt makes an excellent tooth pow
der, but it is no. advisable to use it
daily, as it will spoil the e1amel IT
used too frequently. Stu, ~ occas-
ional brushing witl it is recon-
mended.
Sprinkle it or re coils md shake
your damp, uncurlel ost'ich feathers
over the fumes, and the iendrils will
curl up smartly.
Battle your tired eyes in salt and
water and yol will be astonished al
the strength it gives them.
A pinch of salt improves cakes,
candies and almost everything that is
cooked.
Flannels should not be hung to dry
in the sunshine, but in a shady spot,
and they should be washed and dried
with as much speed as possible. Some
people advise no wringing, but mere
ly allowing the wooden garments to
drip from the line, in order to avo.d
shrinkage.
An emergency drawer is found to
be a very practical feature of a house
hold. In it should be kept scissors,
court plaster, absorbent cotton, vase
line, a roll of soft linen, an ~antisep-
tic of some sort-such necessary ar
ticles as can be found at once with
out looking through a medicine
closet.

with the eyes a wash of either cold

In slight cases of rheumatism, if
the parts afflicted are wrapped in d
piece of all wool flannel, it will gen.
orally give relief.
For a sore mouth try a wash OF
one teaspoonful of peroxide in a hall
glass of water.
For pains in the stomach a flame
cloth dipped in hot water into which
a t%easpoonful of t"urpentine has beer
added, placed yer the stomach, will
give almost instant relief.
A cup of hot water will relieve q
sick stomach, and for those who can
not take it plain try a little lemon
juice, a lump of sugar or a pinch OF
salt.
For sprains or bruises either hot
or cold applications are good, but

IN MILLINERY.

Novelties crowd n upon another
in the realm of millinery this month,
and never has the variety been so
great nor the models so diverse.
Between the immense Lamballe
hat and the tiny morning toque a yer
table chromatic scale of styles and
colors has been introduced, nothing
being considered too startling or SEN
sational to meet the occasion.
Grapes, far from being eliminated
from the scheme of matters modistic,
are introduced on large and small
hats alike, and combined with ap-
pies, oil plums, give quite a Bacchd-
nalian appearance to the models.
Y Instead of being carried out In
white, as they were during the early
fall, they are designed in rich pur-
pie shades of velvet, or in gold, sill
yer or bronze tissue.
In some cases miniature grapes are
employed which are little larger thar
a bunch of c~urrants and in this con
nection 1t is interesting to note tina
these microscopic examples are also
employed as hair ornaments to ac
company the new gowns in chiffo~
velvet which are so popular.

ALL MUST BE y%ACC1NATED.

me pubic SchOOl teachers through
out the city are up in arms because
they all must be vaccinated. Some
weeks ago complaint was received by
the Board of Education from the De-
partment of Health that certain
teachers had refused to be vaccinated.
The matter was referred to the by
law committee, which has ruled that.
a teacher who has never been vaccin-
ated must be v~accinated or be consid-
cred guilty of INSTRUMENTATION. When
the department of health complains
that a teacher refuses to be vaccin-
ated, when in the opinion of the doc
tors she should be, it is the duty of
the city superintendent to require the
teacher to be vaccinated. Refusal to
comply with the order will be con-
sidered insubordinate as in the first
instance.

THE MEMORY on A LIANT.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. In 1901 a
plant allied to the squash and pump
kin was brought to New York from
the desert of Sonbra, in Mexico, and
since then it has been kept-with-
out watering-in a strange climate
5000 miles from home. During the
six weeks of rain in the desert the
plant grows its leaves and flowers
and perfects it's seed. Then it dries
up and leaves only a water-filled
gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals
against animals and evaporation. The
transplanted specimen still remem
bers the rainy season of six weeks. II
wakes, sends out rootlets, stems and
leaves and then dries up again until
the following year. a iefU 30

A SAD ACCIDENT.

ffcUeflck d Fell Cars
and Had Foot Cut on.
A sad accident occurred about 4
O'clock Wednesday morning in the p.
r. r. yards at this point. The drill
crew in which Frederick Sinbine was
brakeman, had some drilling to do in
that part of the yard known as "A.
grounds. Sinbine had taken Il rosi-
tion on a car standing on a grade, a
short distance from other cars on the
same tracks, for the purpose of apply
ing brakes when the drill should be
made. He either unthinkingly at
tempted to step from the q Oh
which he stood to those separated
some distance from him and thereby
fell to the track, or otherwise in Civ
ing a signal to the engineer, slipped
from the car. AT any rate he fell to
the track and the car on which he
had been standing, being on d grade,
a on to him, dragging him about a
car length, and cutting off one foot.
Sinbine was taken to the emergency
hospital and Company Physician
Haines summoned. 1t was necessary
TO make a still further amputation
just above the ankle, after which he
was taken to st. Michael's hospital,
Newark.
Mr.. Sinbine was considered a first
class man and liked by everyone with
whom he came in contact. He had
been braking but about two months,
previous to which time he acted as
hostler at the roundhouse, bat think
ing he might possibly better himself
secured a position as brakeman. 1t
is indeed sad that a man in the prime
OF life should thus be crippled, but it
is enc of those unavoidable accidents
to which all railroad men are contin-
ually in danger of.
