To Stimulate Conversation,

We are trying to revive the art Of
conversation. and to stimulate interest
in the object certain American hos
tess. who aspires to having a salon
OF the olden times. recently gave a
novel entertainment. The guests were
arranged in pairs. and a settled sub
ject was announced, upon which each
pair had to talk for ten minutes. Then
a bell rang, and the guests were ar
ranged in fresh couples. with another
prescribed topic of conversation. So
every man present talked with every
woman, and at the close of the even
ing prizes were awarded to the man
and to the woman who. by the votes
of the opposite sex, were held to have
been the most interesting conversa-
tionalists. The prizes were a gold
cigarette case and turquoise brace.

Ninety-eight per cent. of those who
have tuberculosis of the lungs, If they
get well at all, will have to do so at

lying under a wide-open window all
day long and all night long, by extra
feeding, by rest and by good courage.
There are wondrous possibilities ON

Use of the Pepper Mill.

A pepper mill is a piece of silver
not often seen on tables nowadays
English housekeepers, however. still
use the pepper mill, and American
silversmiths sometimes keep it to
meet the demands of old-fashioned
families who prefer to grind their own
pepper rather than risk the chance Of
adulteration. The pepper mill dates
back to the time when pepper was a
scarce commodity, and was always
ground at the table from the pepper
corns. Pepper was so valuable in those
days that rents were often paid in
pepper corns, and the high prices
they brought were among the incen.
tves that induced explorers to brave
the dangers of the unknown deep. If
a short passage could be discovered
to the Indies it was agreed by all that
a wealth of pepper could be easily
brought to Europe. Ground pepper is
extensively adulterated to-day, and to
those who are fastidious and care to
take the slight trouble of grinding
the pepper corns themselves a pepper
mill is convenient little utensil.

CARE OF THE NAILS.
Simple Means by Which They May be
Well Kept.

To go regularly to manicure Is
expensive, but with little time and by
simple means it is possible to do
much toward improving the nails.
The skin at the base is inclined to
grow over them, but that can be easily
prevented. FIJI basin with nice hot,
soapy water, and soak your hands in
this for at least ten minutes. BY that
time the skin will be soft, and with n
blunt stick of orange wood OBTAIN
able as any chemist's) can be pressed
gently back into It's proper position,
so that the pretty half moons at the
base of the nail can be seen in all
their glory.
But remember that too great pres
sure or ungentle treatment Of any
kind will probably result in a crop
of these little white spots that are SO
disflurgng.
After pressing back the skin and
thoroughly drying the hands. take
half a lemon and keep digging your
fingers into this until the nails are
saturated with the juice. There is
nothing Ike it for improving and
beautifying them.
Wipe off the lemon with a soft rag,
roll corner of your towel up into
hard pad, and with this give the nails
a brisk rub to restore the polish.
This treatment once week and a
careful pushing back of the skin every
time the hands are washed will soon
bring about marvellous Improvement
In the appearance of the nails To
polish, rub briskly on the palm Of the
other hand.-St. Louis Republic.

A New Ereckle Remover.

"A small sheet Of emery paper"

The clerk handed her the emery
paper, and after she was gone he
said:
Every now and then she buys q
sheet of emery paper. She removes
freckles with it,
"Freckles. eh?" said the proprietor.
How does she do that?"
"Rubs them off," replied the clerk.
"She described the process to me
the last time she was in. She said
she never freckled anywhere but on
the end of her nose. Whenever she
is out in high wind or in a glaring
sun there appears on her nose single
big brown freckle. This she hates;
she considers it a Disagreement And
to get rid OF it she rubs it off with a
piece of emery"
Doesn't 1t hurt? Doesn't 1t bleed ?"
said the proprietor.
ut hardly hurts or bleeds at all. It
merely abrazes the skin little. The
end Of her nose burns and smarts for
about day. Then 1t is as well as
ever and the freckle is gone, leaving
no scar"

New Special Delivery Law
Special Stamp Will Not Be Necessary After
July I.

One of the last acts of Congress
was to pass bill providing that
stamps to the value of ten cents
when attached to letter or pack
age in excess Of the regular postage
take the place of the special deliv-
cry stamp. After July all the
bother of rushing around to drug
stores, branch post Offices and other
places in search of special delivery
stamp will not have TO be done.
When the writer of letter wants
it Especial delivery" all that must
be done is to attach six two cent
stamps to it, one for the postage
and the others to make up the ten
cent charge for special delivery"
The postmaster General is requir-
ed to formulate the rules and regu-
lations. but as the law clearly stat
es that 1t was passed to avoid the
necessity for special stamp for
special delivery he will make no
changes. The words special de-
livery" must in all cases re written
or stamped on the letter or package
to which the extra ten cents worth
of stamps are affixed.

Milk Caused Wrinkles.

A writer on beauty in one of tho
society papers urges her readers never
to wash the face with soap and water,
as being certain destruction to fine
complexion. | cannot indorse this
view.
Cleanliness Is absolutely necessary
TO the beauty and delicacy of the tex
ture of the skin. If soap is not liked,
at least oatmeal should take its place,
and pure or distilled water invariably
be used. | once saw the result of only
washing the face with milk in a lady
who started life with a good complex
ion, but before she reached middle
age had lost all freshness and showed q
faded skin covered with fine wrinkles.
Nothing equals the complexion of the
country woman who rises early, Is
much in the open air and bathes free
ly in cold water. The homely idea Of
washing in the dew of the morning
az an aid to beauty is simply a prac-

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSE.

Rub all rusty places on iron with
kerosene oil.
Wicker seats and backs of chairs
are easily cleaned with salt and water.
Vanished woodwork can be easily
cleaned and frightened with crude oil.
ANY brickwork rinsed off with am
monia and water and then carefully
dried will be wonderfully frightened
by the process.
A few drops of alcohol rubbed on
the inside of lamp chimneys will re-
move all trace of greasy smoke when
water alone Is of no avail.
