GROWTH OF THE TELEPHONE
Millions of Instruments Are in Use in
This Country.

Washington. - Statistics issued at
the close of the year 1906 show that
there were in use in the United States
alone more than 1000 900 telephones,
while an aggregate of a little more
than 100000 miles Of wire was used
for telephone service.
The telephone industry gives en-
ployment to 10000 persons in the
United States, an increase of III per
cent. in six years, while during the
same period the number of stations
has increased z39 per cent. and the
wire mileage 349 per cent.
There is little doubt that much Of
this increase is due to the general
adoption of the so-called message rate
system in place of the fat annual
charge formerly in vogue. By making
the charges proportional to the num-
Der of calls the use of the telephone
has been widely extended both be-
cause of the greater willingness Of
people to become subscribers under
such conditions and because the sys.
tenn gives an incentive to the local
telephone companies to give good ser
vice and encourage the use Of the teie-
| phone.
Another cause for the increase In

While the aCidiJy OF milk varies, re-
quiring judgment on the part of the
cook, a safe general rule to follow is
level teaspOonful soda to one pint
sour milk. that has stood two or three
days, and a scant teaspoOnful soda to
a pint of sour milk that has just
turned to a jelly-ike consistency. The
mistake that many cooks make is to
add too much soda. Just enough is
required to counteract the acidity of
the milk Sour milk that has stood

SLAVES HUSBAND TO BUY RUG.
Head of Family Undergoes Torment
to Help Wife Get Carpet,

Trenton, N WHEN the new rug
is laid in Grace Baptist church, about
four yards of it will be consecrated to
the fortitude OF Henry Lonsdals
Every thread represents a whisksr
which Lonsdale submitted to q razor
welded by his wife.
Mrs. Lonsdale is a member Of the
Ladies' Aid society, which planned 70
buy the church carpet on the selt-ds
nial plan. There is some difference OF
opinion on this point, the men assert
ing that Lonsdale showed himself
martyr, while the women are cOngrat'
ulating the wife.
While other women baked bread
and sewed, Mrs LOnsdale decided she
would shave her husband, and charge
him Is cents for the operation. Il Is
not on record how LOnsdale first re-
ceiYed the proposition, but the fact
that he consented to act the victim
is proof that his wife has the true re-
ligious spirit.
For four months did LOnsdale go
through the shaving process. He once
/ believed that a shave once a day vas
a necessity, but under the sHllful
manipulation of his wife he disc0V'
cred that he could get along on thres
shaves a week.
Only once did Mrs. LOnsdale ask;
Does the razor hurt?" He did not
swear; he did not groan, but the look
of anguish was enough

The Domino Layout.

panying picture, and tell one of the
spectators that you will point out any
domino that he may think of.
When he says he is ready, you tell
him that you will count round the cir
Gle by touching the dominoes pro-
miscuously, each touch counting one,
and that when you have counted 20,
including the number of spots on the
domino thought of, he must tell you to
stop, and your finger will then rest
on the piece chosen.
Let us suppose, for illustration, ex-
plains Good Literature, that he thinks
of the double-deuce, you, of course, not
knowing that. Begin, touching the
pieces with your finger, counting 1, 2.
3, 4, 5, 6, Z, and SO forth, skipping
about the circle as you count. But
when you come to the eight count, you
must touch the double-six, and then
count regularly around to the right.
Thus six-five will be 8, double-five 10,
five-four II, and SO on, until you come
to double-deuce, when he tells you to
stop, because that is the domino he
thought of, the four spots on which,
added to your count of 16, makes 70.

COEFURES OF MANY KINDS

plumpness and the long oval, all Of
which are notifications of the perfect
oval face. Equally numerous are the
different varieties of the round face.
There is the so-called perfect type of
round face-that is, neither too thin
nor too fat-the plump round face,
the broad fat face and the very round
short face. Then there is the sharp
pointed face to be considered, the one
with a receding chin. and the type
possessing a very large or aquiline
nose, so that it can be plainly seen
that, while certain directions may be
followed with satisfactory results. it
is simply impossible to set down n
hard and fast rules, because so few
women have features that come up
to the standard of perfection.
For instance. a perfect type of round
face may have the hair dressed high
or low, but if the face is short and
round the high couture must be adopt
ed. The fat round face, too, should
look well with high arrangement, but
the sides must be pulled a little, or
the result will be that the fat cheeks
appear really fatter.

TREATMENT OF THE PIANO.
Things to BE Remembered If You
Would Preserve instrument.

When the cold wind blows outside,
or chilling rain beats down, do not in
your solicitude for your own comfort
forget the welfare of your poor piano.
That instrument is well known to
be as sensitive to cold, damp or heat
as the most confirmed invalid, and in
thousands of houses to-day the
domestic piano is treated with a
lack of regard that harrows the
spirit of the unfortunate tuner who
has periodically to come and act as
physician to it.
Never put YOU piano too near the
Gre, as the heat draws the wood. Do
not leave the window open close to
it on a rainy day, as the damp will
rust the wires and mold the instru-
ments interior.
On no account should a multiple
city of ornaments be placed on the
top of the piano as it's tone is spoiled
in this way, and, finally it should be
noted that with too much furniture
and drapery in the oom piano play
ing cannot be heard to the best adj
vantage.

Ponqee variousIy Treated.

Hand embroidery in s~elf-color Us
considered very modish on pongee.
Many very chic little French frocks
among the imported models are in
pongee of natural tone, dull blue or
brown, embroidered in self-tone and
lightened by some contrasting touch
of color and by lace or embroidered
batiste on the bodice. A pretty bolero
and skirt model in natural hued pom
gee carried out this idea successfully,
the only trimming of the skirt being
embroidery in s~elf-tone. The loose
little bolero, with its loose, pic
turesque sleeve cut in one with the
coat, also had a touch of s~elf-tone EN-
broidery, but it had, too, a CLEAN of
vivid red in the embroidery of the
small collar and of the armhole trim
mings, and scarf ends of black silk
fell from the collar.

REMEDIES FOR THE NURSERY.
Best Method Of Treating Che Almost
Daily Small Mishaps.

Tumbles that result in broken
knees are a very common occurrence
In the nursery. Wash the place very
thoroughly with warm water and bor-
acic lotion in order to remove any
garvel, dust or bits Of stocking that
may have been forced into the wound.
Battle always from the edges to the
center of any wound; this gives in
finitely less pain. Then dress the
place with a piece OF soft old rag,
smearing with cold cream; keep In
place with a few twists of a band
age.
If a child is slightly burned of scald-
ed, the first thing 10 do is to relieve
the pain, and then apply a healing
ointment. , To effect this, battle the
injured part with a strong solution
of ordinary kitchen soda, apply zinc
ointment by means of well-greased
rags, then cover the whole with a
piece of cottonwood.
A grain Of dust Is a very little
thing, but, like a great many other
little things. is capable Of causing a
very great deal of trouble.
Never try to emove it with a
screw of handkerchief, but instead
tear off a corner of perfectly clean
white plotting paper, twist this into
a cone, and having discovered the
whereabouts of the dust by gently
but firmly raising the eyelid, extract
1t with the blotting paper, to which
the dust will be found to adhere
readily.

The New Lingerie Hat.

The ley lingerie hat is shaped af-
ter the popular bowl or mushroom
model. A most d%electable small af-
fair, but unhappily not as universally
becoming as the wide one of last
year, that was nice on both young
and a~lmost-young women-although
we did see it occasionally mis-worn
by some who were in neither of these
classes. The round bowl of these
new models has a ribbon tied about
it, perhaps drawn through the holes
of embroidery, and fastened at the
back with some ends to lie against
the hair. Just in front will be placed
a huge rose of a pale yellow, and
there you have a lingerie hat that is
the newest of the new.

A Pony's Good Sense.

girl ten years old, named Mary
Sears, living in Arkansas, was riding
her pony along a highway when he
SHE'D al a cow and she was thrown
to the ground and suffered a broken
arm. 1t was a mile to the nearest
house, and the girl was not able to
mount again and in too much pain to
walk.
The pony seemed to understand this
after a time, and he galloped away
and reached the house of a planter
and Kept up a ~whinnying until he was
taken notice Of and a man sent to fol-
low him back to where the girl was
found. 1t was plain that the intelli-
gent animal knew that something out
of the usual had happened, and in this
case just as good a messenger as a
boy would have been.

Styles That Will Suit Round, Oval or
Long Faces.

There is no question but that a sue
cessful appearance depends more on
the couture than any other detail of
the toilet, for the handsomest gown
and the smartest hat will fail to i'm
press a beholder if the hair shows neg
lect, lack of style or is unbecomingly
arranged, while often the plainest
frock or simplest chapeau will pass
unobserved if the hair is prettily
dressed in becoming fashion.
The very greatest are should be ex-
ercised in choosing ones couture, or
in changing from n mode to another.
Indeed, the safest plan is to try not
one but many styles of hairdressing
until some model entirely satisfactory
is found and then this one should be
worn regardless of changing fashions.
Certain styles suit certain faces, n
arrangement being the more becoming
to an oval face and another to the
round face; but then all are not of the
true types. There is the short oval.

Several novel kinds of sashes have
appeared this spring upon gowns de-
signed for younger women. One of
these ribbon garnitures, made from
op~alescent MORE, with a narrow black
edge, had two fine black silk tassels
dangling from the forked points of the
"~swallowtail" effect into which the
ends were. divided. Another sash,
made for a charming biscuit colored
costume, was likewise of MORE rib
bon, in this case plain black, tied in
a high bow at the back, the hens
being finished with fringe. Still an
other was made of delicate chine rib
bon having an exquisitely variegated
fringe harmonizing with the floral
colors of the sash.

Preserved Pears,

Pare them very thin and simmer
them in a thin strip, allowing one
fourth of a pound of sugar to a pound
of pears. Let them lie for two days,
then add another quarter of a pound
bf sugar to a pound Of pears
and simmer again. Let them all lie
all night or longer if you wish, then
simmer them once more, adding one
half pound of sugar to a pound OF
pears, making a pound for a pound.
The juice of a lemon to four pounds
of fruit and a small part of the peel
is a good addition. The fruit may now
be drained and put in the sun to dry,
or they may be poured into the jars
with strip over them.

Delicious Custard,

Beat four eggs light, add three cup
fuls of good milk, five tablespoonful
of sugar, one teasponful salt and a lit
tie grated nutmeg; stir well; pour the
mixture in custard cups; set these in
side of a fiat bake pan with some wa
ter in same; bake slowly n hour, or
until a silver knife comes out clean;
remove from oven, then whip the
whites of five eggs until stiff and dry
and drop on custards walnut size, one
in center and one row around edge OF
cups, leaving the center one largest;
put back in oven two or three minutes
to add a golden tint; take as many
good-sized Strawberries, dip in pulver-
lied sugar, and put a row around cups
between the walnut shapes; this
makes a very pretty table custard for
little ones.
