How TO CrystaIIize Flowers.

To crystalline flowers construct some
baskets Of fancy form with pliable

gauze. Into these tie to the bottom
violets, ferns and geranium leaves-in
fact, any flowers except full bloom
roses-and sink them In solution oil
alum of one pound to q gallon OF wa

colors will then be preserved in their

covers the articles, remove the basket
carefully and allow to drip for twelve
hours. These baskets make a beau

Live Improvement Society.

In small centers of population
where none but the most general
laws govern, it is necessary to form
an improvement society to look af-
ter the health and we'll being of the
people as whole, says the Los An

must be observed. Both sewers and
surface drainage should be provided
by the people as whole, and where
no city government exists this is a
splendid work for a live society for
civic hetterment.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal cou-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED fo-
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give 500 for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

How to Treat a damned Finger.

The finger should he plunged into
water as hot as can possibly be borne.
This application Of hot water causes
the nail to expand and soften, and the
blood pouring out beneath 1t has more
room to flow. Thus the pain is lessen
ed. The finger should then be wrapped
in a bread and water poultice. A jam
med tinger should never be neglected,
as it may lead to modification OF the
bone f it has been badly crushed. and
amputation Of the finger must follow.
damned toes are usually caused
through the falling Of heavy weights
and should be treated In the same way
as q jammed finger.

How to Promote a Child's Appetite,

TO promote child's appetite give 1t
plenty of outdoor exercise. Make Its
habits regular and give it nothing but
plain, wholesome food Rich cakes,
pickles, condiments and made dishes
are not fit for children, and indulgence
in them will spoil the appetite for
plainly cooked food. A warm bath
with an ounce of sea salt is almost as
restful as nap. Let the child paddle
in the water until it coOls and dry
with rough towel In case Of whoop-
ing cough milk diet often Is neces-
sary. Two or three pints may be tax
en- daily, but not much at time should
be given. Vomiting often Is Il serious
complication in this disease, but how
ever unwilling child may be to take
food he must be made to do 80 In order
to keep up his strength. If the vomit-
ing be severe solids are better than
food in liquid form. The teeth should
be cleaned all over Cleansing tile
mouth should be practiced after every
meal. and the child will have strong

TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
How to Lead hem Alright and Coun-
teract Bad Habits.

The child's tendencies should be
carefully watched, and everything in
him which appears vicious or un-
pleasant should me. nipped in the
bud, says the Chicago Tribune.
If child Is careless of his toys and
breaks and defaces them, the proper
punishment is to take them from him
and say he cannot have them for a
certain period of time, and then give
them to him when he promises to take
care Of them. 1t Is bad policy to be
continually buying new toys for &
child who ia destructive and disobedi-
ent. These are not qualities to be
encouraged by frequent rewards OF
gifts.
II child Is cruel and domlneering
to it's little associates, It should be
sternIy reproved and taught to behave
gently and humbly. Boys should be
taught to be tender and chivalrous to
all girls and particularly to their Sis
ters. Children who treat their pets
roughly and cruelty. should be depriv-
ed of them. No right minded person
places little helpless dumb creature
in the power of young children who
are cruel through ignorance or through
vicious nature. The treatment OF
pets should be watched by the mothers
Of children having them. Be careful
how you criticise the efforts of the
children. The clipped wing never
grows again. Make it matter Of con-
science never to mislead child. for
he is a traveller newly arrived from
strange country. Allow him us his
world widens to have opinions Of bis
own; let him be a personality, not q
mere echo. Make your home the CEN
ter of attraction to your children; let
them feel drawn to you and 1t, like
the needle to the pole. Respect the
secrets of your children, but do not
worry them to contide in you.
