which man was indicted for robbery
at the house of q poor widow. The
first witness was the young daughter
Of the widow, who identified the pris-

house and smashed her mothers chest.
"Do you say that the prisoner at the
bar broke your mothers chest?" said
the Judge In establishment.
"He did, my lord" answered the girl.
"He jumped on it till he smashed it
entirely"
The judge turned to the crown coun-

not the prisoner indicted for murder

in the way the witness has described,
he must surely have killed her."

How TO Air a Bed.

1t is not every one that can air bed
and make it properly.
The first thing in the morning tho
bed should be stripped Of every cover

Don't however, leave window open
directly upon the bed linen with a fog
or rain prevailing outside.
It is not uncommon to see sheets and
bedding In front Of windows with per-
haps rain not actually falling, but with
90 per cent of humidity in the air, ana
the person sleeping in the bed wonders
the next day where she got her cold.
A room should be aired In damp
weather, but the bedding and bed
should not be allowed to absorb any
dampness by being brought close to
the window.

Rahv's Bath Blanket.

One of the most useful articles for
the layette is the flannel blanket for
baby's bath. The bath blanket Is not
only an apron for the protection Of the
mothers gown, but also a soft warm
wrap to Unfold the delicate little body
of the infant as it is taken from the
tub. These blankets are usually made
of a good heavyweight wool flannel,
and two yards Of material are required.
Double the goods, which gives two
lengths of one yard each. Make a
tuck an inch deep where the flannel Is
folded over, and run through it inch
wide wash ribbon of any preferred
color, having it sufficiently long to tie
around the waist when in use. The
edges of this blanket apron may have
a binding Of wash ribbon correspond
ing in color to the waist ribbon, or
they may be simply buttonholed with
wash silk.

thirtieth year mark, but in the eyes
Of the old gentleman they were still

A Stinux KIM.

In the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the now SO powerful German
empire was nothing more than the lit
tie kingdom Of Prussia, having just
dropped its title Of duchy Of Branden-
burg. The country was very poor and
the military discipline very harsh.
Frederick William I. was hard, cross
and stingy and did not even know
what 1t was to make present. His
reputation was so widely spread that
It became byword to say that man
had worked for the king Of Prussia

Diet That Cleans the Complexion.

In the diet much may be done to ina-
prove physical conditions. Fruit should
always be eaten, but especially at this
season. Baked and stewed apples,
prunes, stewed figs and dates should
be taken freely. Bananas are the
least desirable Of any fruit Fresh
rhubarb, stewed, has positively bene-
fetal effect upon the complexion and
should be eaten at least once a day,
but not in the form of tarts or pies.
AS a sauce it is most helpful.
Any fresh vegetables should be put
on the diet list. Spinach is excellent,
SO are beets, and summer squash Is In
market and is not costly. Heavy meats,
such as roast beef, pork and the like,
should be eaten sparingly and fish,
eggs and poultry substituted.
Every effort should be made not to
eat food difficult of digestion. The
liver is inclined to be torpid, and this
condition Immediately affects the COM
plexion. Pastries and all fried things
should be given up entirely, and one
should exercise all that is possible, for
this is an aid to the organs performing
their functions
If pimples appear, make an ointment
of two grams of beta naphthol, twen-
ty grams of sulphur precipitate and
twenty grams Of potash soap. Rub
over the pimples at night.
Cucumber is one Of natures own Co.'S
metics. Try using slice Of cucumber
instead Of soap for washing the face.
Don't throw away the rind. Boil 1t
and use the water for washing the
face.

Moist Hands.

Much can be done to improve the
condition of moist hands, and one may
begin by wetting thoroughly every day
with a mixture Of two ounces Of CO.
logne and two drains of tincture of
belladonna. Always use this after
washing
Make another lotion Of one dram of
asingiass, one dram Of turpentine and
two drains of oxide of zinc ointment
Put the turpentine into a small basin
and set into boiling water. When the
turpentine is warm, add the isinglass
and keep at gentle heat until the
isinglass is dissolved. Care must be
taken that the turpentine does not
come into direct contact with heat or
1t will burn. The basin will have heat
enough if put over radiator.
When the isinglass is dissolved. pour
the liquid slowly over the ointment
working it smoothly.
Rub this thoroughly into the palms
at night and if possible twice during
the day. Finish with any powder a
the daytime.
