How to Punish n Child.

Have you ever given child the privi- lege of choosing his own punishment either a whipping or the deprivation of some beloved treat, solitude in his chamber or some other form, and had him prefer the whipping ito have It over with?" Doesn't this prove 1t to be the lesser punishment-s something to be borne with stoically. as a nee essary evil, perhaps, but forgotten the next moment in some pleasure or rec reation?
 If, however, upon mature delibera- ton, it seems expedient to apply the rod, let it, by all the regard you have for your child's self respect, be done in the privacy of his own room, and not even hinted at before other children, says the Washington Star. There seems to be strain of cruelty in the makeup of some children that delights in another's punishment. If a child must be punished in this way, if every other expedient has been tried and found wanting and it seems that he will learn the desired lesson in no other way (for let 1t be understood that pun ishment is given for no other reason than reform). then shut him up in one room and yourself in another until your anger has had time to cool and he to reflect. Then, with calm face, a prayerful and sorrowful heart and a dignified demeanor, go to him and do the job thoroughly and well.
 Keep him closeted until the fierce ness of his emotion has worn away. Then take him out bathe and clothe him afresh and keep him with you. Talk to him, not about his offense-you have punished him for that-let 1t drop. Cheerfully expect 1t rot to hap pen again. Be kind and loving to him and prove by your actions that he has grieved you.

How to Clean Rings and Trinkets.
 A sharp pointed implement should never be employed to clean rings, as it loosens the stones. Soak them in liquid ammonia and the dirt will be loosened Afterward they should be polished with a soft cloth. It is a good plan to keep rings in sawdust, as it enables the gems to retain their brilliancy. Warm water and little prepared chalk are aii that are required to clean plain or chased rings. Toile. articles, vinai- grettes and other small trinkets may be easily frightened without the use of powder by placing them In an alu
 minimum receptacle and pouring boiling water over them. Polishing should be done by means of a piece of clean chamois leather, but in adopting this treatment it must be remembered that the silver should never be allowed to becoI1e tarnished. .-.

How to Sit For n photourapb.

''If I had just one bit of advice to give a prospective sitter" said ia vorite New York photographer in L'Art de h Mode, "I should say: Don't think about the picture for days before hav- ing it taken. Choose good photog
 rapher and leave it to him. Dress nat urally-that is, as you are accustomed to 1o in your daily life-and, above all don't dress as you have never dressed before That is where so many peo- pie make a mistake. They get a new gown for the special purpose Of having a photograph taken and often as a climax have their hair dressed in an unusual way. Then. having changed themselves as much as possible. they come to the photographer"

FAMILY INTERFERENCE.
Rock on Which Many a Happy Mari
 tai Ship Has Been Wrecked.


 Many a good matrimonial ship, with its sunlit cargo of happiness and hope, has been wrecked on the rocks of fam fly interference.
 It is in the first years of married life that foreign interference is most try ing and dangerous, and it is this very time when 1t is most conspicuous and dominant.
 These early years are time of grad ual adjustment to new conditions, the formative period of harmonizing with a new environment, of growth h mu- tual understanding, perhaps of meet ing disappointment and of rising supe- rior to it or of sadly revising golden dreams and unrealized ideals, of talk ing trial balances on the ledger of hap piness, of awakening to the wisdom of mutual concessions, of learning new lessons in the school of experience that can never be learned vicariously.
 These are the problems of two that must be solved by them. They need only kindness, sympathy, generous CO., operation.
 There is no need for the family to re- mind the wife that the husband is not eighteen carat, that he will never make a fortune, that they fear greatly and then let their fear expand into a long catalogue of detail that fades away into the dim perspective of the un- spoken.
 After the goods are bought and sent home and cannot be returned what is the use of discouraging the purchaser? Why not point out some good points, something helpful and inspiring?
 Sometimes the interference of fami- lies becomes even more active and ag- gressive than this, and because of a fancied grievance or genuine opposi- tion it actually comes between husband and wife and by harsh criticism or con demnation seeks to plant the seeds of discord between them.
 Here instant loyalty of the one to the other should assert itself and refuse to listen to the voice. In an instinctive spirit of protection there should be a calm, dignified protest of what if un- essential should never be spoken and if of serious import should be expressed only in the presence of the one thus charged with what he or she should have the opportunity of denying or dis proving before the weeds of suspicion have time to root themselves in the heart of the other.-Delineator.

Naughty Children.

There is doubtless much truth in the statement made by the Lancet, the au- thoritative English medical journal, that most naughty children are sick chill dren. "A large amount of the so call ed naughtiness of children says the Lancet, may be accounted for upon grounds which quite exclude the desir- ability of punishment for it's correc- tion." Among these grounds" are insufficient sleep, excitement, overflow ing animal spirits or actual disease in the form of representative nerves. Further, the Lancet adds, ''The faculty of imitation is strongly developed In some children, and they may copy un- consciously bad habit in deed or in word of parent or teacher"

RENOVATlNG BATHTUBS.
Now to Clean nnd Make Them Look
 Inviting.

Inviting.
 Among the crosses many housewives have to annoy them is a bathtub of uninviting appearance in a room that otherwise looks fresh and clean. The tarnished surface may refuse to be- come bright, no matter what cleansing materials are employed.
 By being your own workman you may at a trifiing expense make the tub quite desirable, says the Chicago Trib- une. Procure a small can of common paint of any light color desired, can of enamel paint of the same color and a good sized brush. Cut eight or ten inch pieces of yellow soap into bits and put 1t over the fire to dissolve in cou- pie of quarts of water. Fill the bath tub with hot water and throw In a generous handful of powdered borax and the dissolved soap. When the wa ter becomes cool enough to put the hands in, scrub the surface with a brush, letting the water run off as the work is done. Again partly fill the tub with hot water and scrub with the brush and sand soap to make sure that all greasy particles have been removed. | Then rinse in clear hot water and thoroughly dry.
 Cover it with two coatings of the common paint. letting one thoroughly dry before putting on the second coat. Then give it several coats of the en- amel paint This paint will dry more quickly than the other, and the bathtub will no longer be an unsightly object. l Care must be used not to run hot wa ter into the bathtub alone until the paint has hardened

A InnnIr~ Hint

It is advisable when folding and damping clothes for ironing to spread first large linen handkerchief or nap kin and sprinkle it, then spread a layer of cotton or part cotton handkerchiefs, then another napkin, then damp again. Alternate this way until all are done, then roll in towel. Linen absorbs moisture more easily than cotton or :asxa, so in this way all become damp ened evenly. %

People Near Powers Lake Believe
John vraknik Was Victim
Of the Ice Cutters
BODY SUNK IN POWERS LAKE
No Trace of the Man Has Been Found
Since His Strange Disappearance
on Night Of February 2S.-
Murder Is Suspected

People who reside in the neighbor
hood of Powers Lake in the town Of
Randall are asking that the officials Of
the county make Investigations into
the disappearance and alleged drown
ing of John Vraknik who has been
mysteriously missing since the night
of Feb. % and it is thought that there
is some reason to believe thatthe man
was murdered and his body weighted
ing after the disappearance of
Vraknik, his cap and coat and pack
age of tobacco were found laying on
the ice few feet from the shores of
the lake and the men who had been
with him stated that on the previous
night he had been working as chan
mel man for the Jefferson Ice Com
pany and that he had drowned while
attempting to push some ice away
from a channel.
For weeks the officials of the Ice
Company and the people ia the
neighborhood have been hunting for
the body of the man, but they have
found absolutely nothing to indicate
that Vraknik ever went into the lake
There have been several big storms
and the men taking an interest in the
case hold that if the body was in
Powers Lake it would have come to
the surface by this time. The miss
ing man has two brothers, both resi-
dents of Chicago, and they have come
to Powers Lake to urge the officials to
make some effort to end the mys cry
in connection with the disappearance
of the brother. On the day following
the disappearance of the man the two
men who were with Vraknik were ar
rested and after they had told their
story the,men were released and they
left Powers Lake few days later
when the ice cutting season closed.
1t is now claimed that Vraknik and
one of the men had bitter quarrel at
which threats to kill were made and
some of the people at Powers Lake
believe that these threats were car.
ried out and that Vraknik was MUIR
dered and his weighted body thrown
into the lake.
Later, theyiclaim, the men, fearing
discovery, threw his hat and the pike
pole which he had carried into the
water to give the impression that he
had been Edrowned. Vraknik was
pretty we'll .liked among the ice men
and they are insisting that the mys-
terry of his death be cleared up. The
matter has never been officially laid
before Sheriff Pefnnig or the District
Attorney, but there is no doubt but
that the icounty will act promptly if
there is any reason to believe that
Vraknik met death by foul play.
There are few people in the neigh
borhood who believe that Vraknik has
run away and given the people the
idea that The was drowned, but this
theory issan improbable one.
