An Ancient Mountain Race.


The most ancient people still living
In the mountains of India are the
Todas. Long before the arrival Of the
other tribes of the region the Todas
were the kings Of this country. which
they held In common without strife or
treachery to one another. The Todas
are a fne race. tall. well proportioned
and with regular features. Their COM
ple1ion is of a light brown, and their
eyes are bright and intelligent. The
men wear linen or cotton garment
that reminds European of the Roman
toga. Their bearing Is proud and dig
niied; their countenances are pleasing;
their fine straight hair Is regularly cut
and well kept Their superior appear
ance. the mystery that surrounds them
and the obscurity Of their origin have
caused certain students Of ethnoIogy
to suppose that the Todas are descend
ed from the soldiers of Darius or Alex.

Never whisper in a sickroom. Talk
in a low tone, but distinctly, 40 that
your patient can understand every word
spoken. Nothing is so irritating to a
sick person as hearing voices without
being able to comprehend the subject
under discussion.
Never shovel coal from a bod in the
sick chamber. Bring the coal in wrap
ped in paper and lay paper and all on
the fire. This will prevent both noise
and dust.
Never air room without first cover
ing the patient.
Never flirt the sheets when making
the bed so that the patient sitting near
will catch the eddy of dust that always
follows such an action.
Never under any circumstances tell
patient that he is dangerously ill. Use
the word "seriously" il it ia absolutely
necessary that he should be warned OF
his condition. Suggestion is frequently
more powerful than medicine, especially
with hysterical people.
Never sit on the edge Of sick per-
sons bed, and do not place your chair SC

He Got q Hundred.

Sammy's mother talked to him earnest.
~ and long about the poor marks he bad
been getting in his work at school. She
painted in alluring colors the career OF
the little boy who studies his lessons and
gains the love and respect of his teach
ers. She " emit even farther. She prom
ised him that If he got good marks she
would give him whole dime all for his
own. Sammy seemed impressed.
That afternoon he returned from
school fairly dancing with joy.

"Sammym cried his delighted mother.
She Rugged him and kissed him and

How to Preserve Flowers.

A florist of many years experience
gives the following recipe for preserving
flowers: "When you receive bouquet,
sprinkle it lightly with fresh water, then
put it into vessel containing some soap
suds which uourish the roots and keep
the flowers as bright as new.
Take the bouquet out of the
suds every morning and lay it sideways
in fresh water, the stock entering first
into the water, keep 1t there minute or
two, then take it out and sprinkle the
f,wers lightly by the hand with pure
water. Replace the bouquet in the soap
suds and the flowers will bloom as fresh
as when first gathered. The soapsuds
need to be changed every third day. By
observing these rules bouquet can be
kept bright aud beautiful for at least
one month and will last still longer 10
very passable state, but the attention to
the fair and frail creatures, as directed
above, must be strictly observed.--Mc-
Calls.

Trapping the Parson

William Morris did not always get his

them.

Morris fell into the trap at once.

Later in the day he came in laughing

Scrubblng Is Good for Rugs.
Cleaning rugs, especially the antique
ones that are worth hundreds Of dollars,
is really science, and housewives pos.
sessing any Of these much.valued floor
coverings should remember 1t when hav-
Ing their spring cleaning done. Accord.
ing to q man who has made life study
of It, too much care cannot be taken OF
really fine antiques, either at the general
housekeeping period or during the daily
or weekly cleanings.
The mistake of brushing with stiff
broom against the grain should never be
made, he says, and II necessary to pre-
vent this mistresses should personally
superintend this work, for going against
the weave takes of the silky nap and
loosens the threads that bind the mate
rial together. Neither should they ever
be shaken by one end or In the center
to free them from dust and dirt, for this
Is apt to loosen the weave. Pounding
them with the regulation rattan rug
beaten Is another method that makes for
destruction and should never be per-
mitted. The only thing I know Of to
take the surface dirt from fine, thin, old
coverings is a thorough brushing, or
rather whisking with strong but soft
bristle brush, working always with the
grain. After this partial cleaning damp
cloth can be stroked across the top to
give brightness to the colors and to
gather up the loose dirt.
Once or twice year q genuine old
fashioned scrubbing to freshen the colors
and to clean out the dirt should be given.
But would suggest that this be done by
an experienced person who will do 1t BY
hand, for modern processes often ruin
these thin fabrics, and once tho weave Is
loosened and the covering begins to
come apart the rug is Of really little use
for any practical wear.
After such brushing as I have ad-
vised for the daily or weekly cleaning,
should put big rug that is strong
enough to be blown by brisk wind out
on line when there Is gale and let It
stay all day. This should take out the
loose dirt, but II it does not the process
of blowing by compressed air will be
satisfactory If the rug is not too thick.
Once the dirt is blown out the rest Is
comparatively easy, for it consists Of
simple washing, scrubbing rather, with
cold water and CASTLE or pure white
soap, one that has little lye in its compo-
sition, for, although the colors are all Of
the best vegetable dyes in these fine
rugs and should never run, any but a
pure soap should not be used on them.
