FERNS a. A pREsERvArlvE.
Leaves Are Exec client for Keeping FOOD
Fresh and Sweet.

The housekeeper who 10 ever on the
alert for new wrinkles in keeping food
fresh and sweet, should test for her
self the power of fern leaves as a pre-
servative.
The consul general at Frankfort il
responsible for the statement that
ferns keep meat, fruit, butter and fish
In good condition longer than grape
leaves. straw. or any other packing
medium.
They are much used to bring prod.
uce to the English markets and the
Manxmen use them entirely to pack
fresh herring for shipment.
The high percentage Of salt in the
ferns appears to be responsible for
their preservative qualities: and the
strong odor Of the leaves wards of
maggots and prevent early decay.
This is q good time for the house
keeper, who lives in the country
where ferns are plenty and where
food must be stored in quantities. to
try this remedy for herself.
Potatoes and apples packed in ferns
are said to keep many months longer
than II stored in any other way. The
garden vegetables. which are usually
covered with straw until needed can
have fern leaves put over them in.

wrapped in them and kept longer

experiment can be made with both
mediums. Pack most of your things In
the usual way, but reserve a little Of
each kind for the fern treatment.
For fair test the fruit or vegetable
should be from the same stock, gath.
cred at the same time, and packed un.
der equal conditions Of temperature.

Renefieent Lime Water.

A more general use of lime water
during hot weather is much to be de-
sired. When one goes to chemist
and buys a small bottle of it, one does
not feel encouraged to apply the liquid
freely to the many uses for which it is
excellent; but when one finds that it
costs practically no more than the
trouble of, making, one can be gen.
erous with it. Lay a lump of quick
lime as big as the two fists in a gran
iteware pitcher or bowl, pour over it
two quarts of cold water, stir with a
wooden spoon, and let it stand six
hours. Strain the liquid through a
double thickness of cheesecloth with
out disturbing the sediment of lime.
Put in bottles and cork tight Before
using, your off half an inch from the
top if it has stood any length of time.
Lime water is good to rinse bottles,
pitchers and pans which have held
milk: to soften hard water; to sweeten
drains and to bleach out the marks left
when stronger alkalts have failed to
entirely remove grease spots. From a
teaspoonful to a tablespoonful in a
glass of milk will make it acceptable
10 delicate stomachS, and, especially
for those troubled with acfdity, lime
water is liked as mouth wash. That
equal parts of sweet oil and lime water
make the very best household remedy
for scalds and burns is not likely to be
forgotten after one trial

is nerve strain, one of the penalties
of modern civilization. The eager pur-
suit of pleasure and excitement. the
spirit of competition. the desire to go
one better than other people, have con-
verted social life into perfect tread
mill, where there is no rest for the
weary nor place for the unenterprising
The result is the development of
neurasthenia, the need of rest cures,
and the wonder is not that headaches
so frequently exist, but that so many
people escape the penalty of their
folly.
People like to declare that their head
aches and other symptoms of nerve ex-
haustion are due to overwork Why,
there is nothing like good, hard work
for preserving the health and spirits:
for keeping a man young and woman
good to look at. 1t is ver-excitement
and over-indulgence in pleasure that
are at the root of the matter. A ten
dency to worry unduly over what in
ordinary good health we designate trif-
les, or as obstacles to be overcome in
the days work, is a sure sign of nerve
exhaustion, and worry is a fruitful
source of headache. 1T is unnecessary
to point to the moral or advise the
remedy in these cases.
To cure the headache remove the
cause, cultivate a quiet mind and a
tranquil spirit, conserve your energies
for real work, instead of frittering
them away in the vain pursuit of
pleasure and amusement.

S. G., Salt Lake: A very good way
to clean hands when they are dirty
is to rub a little lard well over them,
then wash with soap and water. 1t
this is done in cold weather the hands
will not be so likely to crack.
L. c., Ogden: A simple remedy for
neuralgia is to apply grated horserad-
ish, prepared the same as for table
use, to the temple when the head or
the pain is in the arm or in the Shout
der.
D. S., Ogden: To loosen the scalp,
massage it thoroughly each night. Rub
the finger tips in a rotary motion to-
ward the crown Of the head, work the
scalp up and down and then give a
light upward stroke at the base Of the
skull.
NJ. c., Salt Lake: A good food for
making the hair grow is to rub lit
tie castor oil or olive oil well into the
roots of the hair. This should be done
at night and thoroughly rinsed out the
following morning, else the hair will
not have a pleasant odor. This treat
ment should not be given too often,
just once in a while.

A Little Pink Toe.

Only little pink baby shoe,
That is stained and wrinkIed and
torn,
With a tiny hole where the little pink
toe
Peeped out in the days that are gone.
The little pink toe was the big little
pig
That to market so often would go,
And over and over that legend was
told
AS I kissed the little pink toe.
"Piggie some more" her red lips would
lisp.
And the story and kiss were given
Again and again so happy were we
In motherhood's foretaste of heaven.
But there came a night, with desolate
blight,
When death bore my idol away,
And no little toe ever peeps from the
shoe,
To be kissed in the same old way.
But my tears have deluged the little
pink shoe,
And stained it a deeper stain;
And 1 long for the touch that would
chill me in death.
If it gave me my darling again.
So, when I am dead, lay the little pink
shoe
Near my heart that is silent and
cold,
And perhaps up above, in the sun
shine of love,
/ shall kiss the pink toe as of old
Kate Thyson Mari.

Honey for the Skin.

A very good cosmetic is pure honey

this is rubbed into the skin with a
bit of cotton wool. This is done just

Another cosmetic, for greasy skins,
is combination of rose vinegar AMI
rose water. To make the vinegar, half
an ounce of dried rose leaves should be
placed in a gill of white wine vine
gar for five or six days, and the IL
quid strained off. To this sufficient
rose water is added to reduce it to
an agreeable strength. 1t may be used

keeping the whole couture in position.
There has been no time in the history
of hair dressing since 1860 when wo-
men simply must conform to the style
or look hopelesssly out of it.
Hats are not built for hair that is
merely brushed up from the face and
rolled into knot. They are not built
for the hair that is parted in front and
drawn back to low figure eight.
Whether or not a woman wants to
change the style of her hair, she is
compelled to do it this season. It is
better for her to twist her hair in the
new way, or wear false hair, than to
have her hat falling down over her
nose and slipping to every ugly angle
whenever she is out on the street.

Watch the chlId VINO Is Nervous.

The nervous child is always a source
Of great anxiety to its parents, and
more especially so when attending
school 1t should be kept under the
keenest observation (without the child's
knowledge, however, that it is under
such close scrutiny, as this is apt to
Increase its nervousness), in order that
the very first signs of graver trouble
displayed by peevishness. irritability
of temper, sleeplessness. night cries,

These are Natures warnings that the
child's capacity is being overtaXed, and
in danger of breaking down in one di-
rection or another. Unless a parent
feels competent to deal wisely and well
with such a child, it should be kept
in constant and sympathetic touch with
the family physician.
The question of exercise is an i'm

Causes of Headaches.

A great many headaches are due tC
eye strain The headache due to eye
strain is worse after using the eyes tcl
reading or writing, and it is generally
absent in the morning, after the eyes
have been rested during sleep.
A sufferer from long sight, short
sight or astigmatism is constantly
straining his eyes or endeavoring &c
focus or bring within his range OF
vision the object which he is looking
at, and headache will most certainly
result Anyone afflicted with con-
stantly recurring headache should visit
an oculist at once and have his eyes
tested.
One of the greatest mistakes possible
is to choose your own glasses at an
optician shop by the simple but futile
expedient Of looking through them
Suitable glasses can only be properly
prescribed by a specialist in ophthal-
mic medicine.

And dainty cap with cobweb frill,

And there is pretty petticoat,
Embroidered flannel scarcely worn,
And blue worsted sacque that Aunty

But where has my baby gone?
There's a big rough boy in corduroy

With blue eyes ready to wink,
And a patch of dirt on his dimple
