Hints for Travellers.

Experience in travelling has taught me many things" said a Birmingham woman recently, and among them is care in looking at my ticket and baggage checks. l make it point never to leave the bag gageman's window or office until l Nave seen that the proper destination is on my baggage check, and I also take the pre- caution of comparing the number on my check with that of the check put on the trunk. Of course, this is rule followed by many people But at thes end of my journey 1 always make a memo of the number of my check before giving it up to the baggageman Then, in case of mis- take or delay l have something tangible to work upon. With tickets, I try to ex- ercise the same precaution. I always see that they read as they should before l leave the ticket window. Sometimes | find 1t wise to buy a chair seat or my sleeper accommodations ahead of time. There is always chance that tickets, stamped ahead, may not be for the day l intend to use them. It was only recent ly found, on examining my chair ticket, that the date was a week later than I had mentioned. Think of my discom- fiture, had I not looked at the date, and then, on reaching the station the day of my departure, fousd the ticket not dated properly"

Roosevelt on Farm Life.

T warn my countrymen that the great recent progress made in city life is not full measure of our civilizations: foN our civilization rests at bottom on the whole someness, the attractiveness, and the completeness, as well as the prosperity of life in the country said the ex-Presi- dent when speaking of farm life on one occasion tThe men and women on the farms stand for what is fundamentally best and most needed in our American life. Upon the development of country life rests ultimately our ability, by meth ods of farming requiring the highest in- tellgence, to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations to supply the city with fresh blood, clean bodies. and clear brains that can endure the terrific strain of modern life. We need the development of men in the open country, who will be in the future, as in the past the stay and strength of the nation in times of war and its guiding and controlling spirit in times of peace."

How Do You Laughf

There are laughs and laughs.
 In the right sort of laughter there is something contagious, even if oneself be the cause of 1t. It Is the product of good humor; there is nothing concealed behind 1t. Frank, spontaneous and whole-souled, 1t has a beneficial effect both on the laugher and it's hearers
 But there are other kinds of laughter. Of these, the sneering laugh is the most familiar. Then there is the quiet laugh "a sibilant, secretive sort of thing. which is almost invariably sign of mischief. Another laugh, disagreeable to hear, is high-pitched and nervous-sounding. It Is the outcome of embarrassment, or mere- ly vocal habit.
 Perhaps the worst laugh of all is the mirthless sound occasioned by the dis tress or embarrassment of others, and it invariably wounds most the butt of it. A person who has been thus laughed at and burt is hardly likely to forget the experience.
 Laugh lisht-heartedly whenever you laugh let there be no sting in the tail of your mirth.
 Cultivate with Pope:
 The sprightly wit, the lively eye,
 Tn engaging smile, the gayety
 That laughed down many a summer sun
 And kept you up so oft till one.

Washing Cluny Lace.

Cluny lace is as great a favorite as it was a season two ago When soiled this lace may be washed at home with safety One who has done it successfully many times gives few simple suggestions for the task: First lay the pieces to soak in lukewarm soap suds, using white soap for the purpose. After about ten minutes squeeze out the soil, then lay the lace in hot suds. Squeeze up and down in this until the pieces look clean, then rinse in warm, clean water and afterward in cold. Lay each piece flat O ma clean dry cloth and roll tight In two or three hours they should be ready to iron When in condi- ton for the iron lay the right side down on the ironing board, cover with a thin cloth and press with hot iron. Remove the cloth and then with an iron. not too hot, press carefully the entire pattern of the lace. giving strict attention to the outer edge, for every point must be picked out. This can be done with the fingers or a common pin.

Some Word Origins.

Rah, for the final syllable of most col lege yells, is, of course, short for hur- rah, says the New York World. The battle cry of the ancient vikings, name ly, Tur Aie, which means God aid There is another form, huzza, which comes from hosanna. This was the old cry of the crusaders. The word yes comes di- rectly through the Norman French oyez, which means near. In it's old form is still used by beadles and certain municipal officials in civic functions in England and also by the royal heralds in pro- claiming the succession of sovereigns to the throne. No is purely Norman French and comes from the Latin non ita, mean ing not so. The real Anglo Saxon was nay, just as the Anglo-Saxon affrma- tive was yea. The word mister Is d- rectly from the Latin magister, mean ing master. Mrs is from the word mis- tress, and formerly. as late as the eigh- teenth century, all unmarried women were given the title of mistress-as, for ex- ample Mistress Sophia Western in Tom Jones'" Esquire is derived from the old Norman-French escuyer, which means shield bearer. Every knight of the shire had his shield bearer, and the honor of carrying the shield was supposed to con- fer gentility upon the follower. The word gentleman until the middle of the seventeenth century meant, as the present French word gentilhomme, nobleman nothing less, and no man was a gen. tleman who was not entitled to "bear arms"

Household Notions.

Oatmeal can be used instead of barley or rice in the soap It thickens it, and adds flavor which is pleasant.
 To get dried parsley, wash the parsley and shake it dry. Put 1t into a cool oven until it becomes crisp. Put it into tight tins or bottles from which air is excluded
 Place mirros so that the direct rays of the sun do not fall upon them. It gives the glass milky appearance which can never be entirely remedied
 To remove tea, coffee, fruit and vege- table stains from white goods, heap salt on the spot, rub hard, and rinse it in hot water in which considerable borax has been dissolved.
 Spare-rib should be broiled rather than roasted, and served with apple sauce and mashed turnips.
 A meat chopper may be better cleaned by running a piece of bread through the machine before washing.
 A reliable test for mushrooms, says an experienced housekeeper, is to put a bit of silver, such as well washed dime, into a dish in which they are cooked If 1t discolors the mushrooms are unfit for food

Walking Out of Fashion.

Walking is going out of fashion; if something is not done it will soon become a lost exercise" declared a prominent physician the other day. Young men are forgetting how to walk. he added Yet walking Is undoubtedly the exercise for city men. However busy they are they can find the short time daily which is the only demand this exercise makes Its very simplicity makes some people discount it and turn to elaborate exer- cises. Yet it is natures exercise. One of the most striking discoveries of quite recent physiology is connected with tle therapeutic effect of walking. The action of wallSing-not to use too technical terms-pumps energy through the frame as does no other means known to science The walkers are the health winners; and it may be said that walking has a moral effect, not less distinct than it's physical effect"

sador in Washington described in d friendly suggestion to q woman of this city, who wished to build such a place in the country The entire ground floor should be one room, the walls covered with the finest of Japanese mating, with designs of birds and flowers. The ceiling should be of bamboo, selected sticks of which can be obtained in the West In- dies, without the need of getting them from Japan These are tackled close to- gether and an artist with few bold strokes can suggest reeds and cool grasses and the outer edge of a stream. The room must have four bay windows. which may be separated by mating screens. All the furniture must be of the same hue of willow, deep green preferable. Could any one be hot, or cross, or weary in such surroundings? The Japanese ann bassador thinks not.
