Sand Cure For Dyspepsia.

A number of persons in West
chester, Pa, who are sufferers from
stomach troubles are trying the sand
cure. The sand. SO dispatch tells
us, comes from Mississippi in bags
Of two quarts each. It is taken IN
doses of a teaspoonful, and as often
as the patient feels trouble coming.

but. nevertheless, is equally conven-
lent for use in the home. The brush
is similar to the ordinary toothbrush,
with the exception that the handle is
shorter This disadvantage is over
come by connecting the end of the
handle to the holder, the latter thus
affording a grip for the hand. The
holder is of hollow metal case,
shaped to accommodate the form OF
the brush. Where the end of the
handle and the holder are connected
there is a pivioted joint, SO that the
brush can be folded back into the
holder. The latter is made in two
sections Of equal size, one section
serving as a cover, the two sections
being Joined by hinges. An Ohio
man is the inventor.

USE OF cANDLHsTrCKs.

A candlestick should have its place
in every room in the ideal home,
but its form and make should be ex-
pressiye of its use.
In the hall the brass and bronze,
in the drawing room the delft or
faience, in the dining-rcom silver or
glass, and in the boudoir all sorts
of extravagances that the heart de-
sires in gold and porcelain or china.
and for the bedroom dressing table
tall silver or china shapes and on
the bedside table which holds the
carafe of iced water and those books

the low silver or china candlestick,

box
A bridal set with numbers OF these
stately silver pillars lives IN mem
ory as a most beautiful picture.
Memory holds yet another picture
of heirlooms in silver and brass; they
stand upon quaint old folding table
of the kind that our grandmothers
loved, in stately old hall amid sur
roundings that tell the story of an
interesting past.
Perhaps, too, it is something finer
than the mere spirit of personal van
ity which has brought forth from
dark cupboards and old closets these
trappings of a bygone day.
Is it not the aroused spirit of Amer
icanism that has swept over our coun-
try in the last few years and prizes
in the patriotic as well as the arts
tic sense the treasures of ancestors
who helped form nation?

FASHIONABLE APRONS.

Every woman who wishes to 80
quite the up-to-date thing must be
very particular nowadays to put on
her apron when she sits down to sew
or helps with the church fair or has
a chafing-dish supper. The apron is
very fashionable again, and nearly
every woman received at least one for
a Christmas gift. If she didn't she
should set out forthwith to make her
self one.
A very attractive apron for sewing
made OF fine white lawn, had a pocket
all along the bottom of the front.
with central piece extending up
the front to the belt. The central
piece kept the pocket from sagging,
which it would nave done when work
was put inside it, if 1t were not for
this support Another most attrae-
tive apron noticed at a French shop
was in a princess effect, the apron
being tucked down the front from
below the bust line TO the hips. This
apron was, of course, in one piece

Mop For OiIing Floors.

The aim of the majority of inven-
tors at the present time is in the di-
rection of designing some continuance
which will supplant hand labor, and
in the main they are successful. One
of the latest is simple device having
a clamp which holds one or more
pieces of felt, the latter being saturat-
ed with oil to be applied to floors.

an Illustration of the device being
shown here.
The clamp which holds the felt is
made of metal, the front and rear be-
ing plates exactly alike. The upper
edges of the plates are bent inward
to give additional stiffness, and the
lower edges also bent inward and
formed with toothed projections. The
plates constitute jaw for folding
and engaging the layers of felt. The
two plates are connected at points
above the centre by a horizontal
plate, the latter serving as head
and guide for the felt, which can be
pushed up against it and be retained
in horizontal position.
The upper portions of the plates are
held apart by pair of stiff springs
which surround two bolts connect
ing the plates. To release the felt

Well 2O1b Feet Deem.

An encouraging report has been
made by Professor Huh on the water
being pumped from the bore which
has been sunk to a depth of 2015
feet in search of a pure supply. At
first the water had an excessive pro-
portion of salts, which made it UNI
suitable for drinking purposes, but
with continued pumping purer sup
ply has been obtained, the proportion
Of solids falling by nearly one-half.
The professor urges that the bore
should be carried 1S5 feet lower. 1t

A Whale-Headed stork.

Among the many curious and I'M
usual animals which have been found
by Sir Harry Johnston, the African
explorer, in the Uganda Protectorate,
h. the whale-headed stork. The bird
.,sembles the common stork in every
thing but the head, which is anything
but beautiful. The beak is enormous
and gives the stork peculiar whale
like appearance. 1t is rather puz-
zle to scientists to discover the rea-
son for this enormous appendage.
The whales mouth is built to catch
a multitude of small fish, and possibly
the stork's beak may have the same
tendency.-Kansas City Journal

of this sort that suit it exactly. The

Blouse Waist.


The blouse that can be worn over
any pretty separate yoke or guimpe
as liked is one of the novelties of
the season that has been very heartily
accepted, and which has extended
vogue. Here is one that is adapted
both to the entire gown and to the
separate waist and that appropriate
ly can be made of silk or. wool ma
terfal and little later of the pretty
washable stufs In this instance 1t
is made with three-quarter sleeves
and the material is taffeta trimmed
with soutache braid and French
knots and edged with velvet banding
But the trimming as we'll as the ma
terial depends Upon individual taste
and need, and any finish that may be
liked Is quite appropriate for the
prettily shaped bertha. The feature
of the waist consists Of the fact that
it can be varied In a number of ways.
1t can be made either lined or I'M
lined with a separate yoke, or with
a fitted lining faced to form the yoke,
or It can be worn over any entirely
separate waist that one may possess.
Also the sleeves can be either in
or full length.
The waist Is made with front, backs
and bertha. The front and backs are

arc two little girls in the family Of an
unusually bright type They belong
to the class known as real, old-fash-
Toned children. The following story Is
told of them. at the time the religious
census was taken in Worcester about
two years ago.
At that time the oldest child, Louise,
was about seven. and the youngest,
Helen. was not five years old. On call
ing at the Hoar residence the census
taker was Informed by Louise that
papa was not at home, neither was
mamma. Helen and me are keeping
house" The young woman started TO
turn away. but Louise insisted on know

answer the questions.
The census taker then began, Louise.

church docs your father attend?" an
