Health and Beauty Hints.

Never begin n journey until good
breakfast has been eaten.
Don't fidget One hour Of fidgety
movements will set your nerves flying.
Half teaspoonful OF table salt dis
solved in a half-glassful of cold water
will give instant relief ia case of
heartburn.
Malic acid is peculiarly helpful to
the body and apples pears, plums,
peaches. cherries all contain ii. To-
matoes also contain it.
Potatoes (the old Standby contain
all the inorganic elements OF the body
except fuorine. They contain q guam
tity of potassium salts-good for nerve
and muscle.
Salt water is good for the scalp. the
eyes, the face, the nostrils, the whole
body. Use salt properly and plenti-
fully -paradoxical as it may
seem-you will remain ever fresh.
Take a dozen deep, slow breaths a
dozen times day through the nose
and exhale through the mouth, and to
do this properly you will have no I'M
due tightness of the dress anywhere.
Moist hands may be made more COM
Portable by washing and brushing them
in tepid water in which few grains
of alum or few drops Of aromatic
sulphuric acid have been dissolved.
Dry them with n rough towel and dust
the palms with talcum powder.

NeedIework Notes.

A thin silk, or one that trays easily,
can be cut out better if laid between
sheets of thin paper and the pattern
cut through paper and material 20
gether.
TO strengthen shirt buttonholes,
stitch them round with cotton after
they are finished. They will then last
much longer and not tear away from
the material.
To make scallOps on embroidery
wear well first stitch the edge of tire
scallops and also above same in the ma
chine, using coarse thread and long
stitch, then embroider. Before washing
cut out the scallops, and after washing
cut off all loose threads If these li-
rections are followed the edge will not
fray.
In sewing buttons on the every -tla v
clothes of children 1t will save the
mothers trouble to stay each button in
the first place with a small piece of the
material or with stout piece of mus
lin IL the garment is not an outer one.
Cut little squares just about the size Of
the button, put it on the inside of the
spot where the button is TO go; take
the stitches through it and then hem
down the edges all around SO they will
not fray. 1t is always better to make
a stem In sewing on button, as If it
is sewed tightly it will more easily tear
our the material. Take loose stitches
and then wind them ON the right side
With the thread four or five times.

Mother gets up first" said the new
office boy. "She lights tie fire and gets

Then she gets father up. gets his break

ready for school; and then she an the

"what is your pay here?" asked the
man.
II get So a week and father gets So

How much does your mother get?'
"Mother," he said Indignantly.

Hints for Preserving.

In selecting fruit the greatest care
should be taken to see that it is not
overrripe.
A cheesecloth bag will be found use
full in strainlng the fruit through the
colander.
The best jelly bag is a long one made
of flannel. which is made In a point at
the bottom.
Plenty of sugar makes rich and Iuscl-
Gus preserves and makes the fruit keep
much longer.
Jelly glasses without fitted tin or
glass tops can be covered by pieces of
writing paper.
These pieces should be dipped in the
unbeaten whites of an egg and pasted
at once over the glass.
Berries that have been picked more
than twenty-four hours are too old 10
make good jellics and preserves.
The first consideration is preserv-
ing kettle of brass polished until lust
rous and with no stain of fruit
This should never be squeezed in
order to hasten the dropping or dis
coloration of the fruit will result.
Porcelain kettles should be discarded
as soon as they commence to crack and
tin. iron or pewter should never be
used.
This is the sort of vessel used by the
old fashioned housewife and the ielIiaS
of our grandmothers have never been
e9ualed.
To prevent jars from cracking when
the hot preserves are poured in them,
set ON cloths dipped in cold water and
partly wrung out.

Taste and smell are present early,
but do not become at all acute or dis
eliminating until after Infancy is past.
Infants are not born with their
eyes shut, but they might as well be,
for they are blind as kittens. They
appear to distinguish between daylight
and darkness, and child a few weeks
old is evidently interested when
bright object is moved before his eyes,
but ii is two or three months before
the child evidently recognizes face
even its mothers. This is through no
fault of the eyes, but is due TO the
fact that the brain is not sufficiently
developed TO record and interpret what
the eyes see.
The newborn child is deaf as well
as blind, but usually notices loud
noises by the middle or end of the Sec
ond Week. The direction from which
Il sound comes seems 10 be recognized
about the end of the third MONTH 1t
is some time after that-anywhere
from two weeks TO two months later
before the baby can distinguish diff
ferent sounds or recognize its mothers
voice. Babies like noises, if they are
not too loud or too sudden, and they
are particularly pleased with rafting
or jingling sounds. especially If they
are more or less rhythmic.

infant will show pleasure on hearing

the elder spirit Of the parish, whom he
had met at the plantation house: Father,

Let it be known that the man whom
Constable now faced was the same ener-
getic person who occasioned discord on
the Brooklyn pier, just as the Madame
swung blithely forth into the harbor.
