To Eorotec ct Skirts.

A useful hint for the stenographer or
for any business woman who must
spend much time at an office desk is
to spread a newspaper under her
chair. Office floors, whether covered or
not, and most of them are bare III
summer, get very dusty, to say the
least, and white and light colored
skirts suffer thereby.
It is extravagant to have to put q
dress in the wash when all that is
the matter with it is an extremely
dirty hem; but, on the other hand.
that hem initiates against further use.
Prevent it by protecting your skirt
as far as possible, and, if this is i'm
possible in walking, at least keep the
space around your desk free from dust
and other varieties Of Dirt.
It Is hardly necessary to say thai
the newspaper must be changed at

Training a Husband.

There are several systems for train
ing husband, and some Of them are
put into practice by the women Of the
land with more or less success
1t seems to be the general opinion,
probably based on experience, that a
husband is not Of much use about the
place until he has been trained, al
though many women. after trying all
OF the printed recipes from kind words
to the application of flatiron, give the
Job up and then claim that they like
him best as he Is.
Training a husband so that he will
lie down, roll over and jump through
hoop really requires a great amount
Of patience, firmness, skill and tact,
and it is no wonder that some women
come to the conclusion that they could
better put in the time In putting up
canned tomatoes.
The reasonable woman, if she can get
man trained to give her his wages, Is
usually satisfied to let him enjoy such
eccentricities as he may have accumu-
lated

How They Save Lights IN Stcrnovyay.
rs On a stnken reef $50 feet distant
from StolnOway lighthouse Is a re-
mdrkable beacon which warns mari
nerS with the help of a light which Is
only apparent. The beacon is cone
Of cast iron plates, surmounted with a
lantern containing a glass prism. The
prism derives its light from refracting
the rays emitted from the lighthouse
and the optical delusion IS marvellous
Mariners naturally suppose that there
is a lighted lamp on the beacon itself,
and many of them will not believe 9TH
erWse But the object Of the beacon
IS attained when the navigator sees the
reflected light, which indicates the per-
flous rock below. This beacon in the
north of Scotland has been in use
more than half a century, and since it
was fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods to make
clear points of danger. It is an in
genious and very effective safeguard
against perils Of the coast.

Bismarck and the Ambassador

Lord Russell, the English ambassador
at the German court, called one day
on Prince Bismarck at the palace Of
the latter, in Berlin. During the con-
versation Lord Russell remarked that
man in the chancellor's position must
be bothered with a great many trouble
some callers.
"God knows how true that is" sighed
the prince.
but you certainly have some remedy
or other to get rid Of such people
quickly:'
"Oh, certainly laughed Bismarck.
zone Of my best is that my good wife
comes in to call me away on some
pretext or other. Of course the caller
can't remain after that"
These words were hardly uttered,
when the princess entered and said in
the most harmless way: lotto, 1t is
time to take your medicine. Do not
forget it."
Lord Russell broke into a ringing
laugh and took his leave at once.
