Why They're Upside Down.

His sister shifted.
Here" she said. "Take my cameo
pin and just fasten It to the back OF
your coat collar"
With a reckless disregard to possible
damage to the coat, the man did as re-
quested. Without word, the sister
preferred him a hand glass, and, lead
ing him to mirror, told him to gaze
at the pin. 1t was upside down.
"How in thund-" began the man.
His sister assumed the attitude Of
the teacher of the infant class.
"Now, you see that you'll have to
revise your opinion some more" she
said. Putting on the pin which has
a top and bottom so that it will be
right side up when worn at the back
of the neck is an art. I'll grant that
few women have mastered it, but you
shouldn't be so Quick to blame them.
IT'S this way. In putting in a pin
you use your right hand, don't you?
Well. the natural motion is from right
to left.
This is as it should be for the front
of the dress, but Just as soon as you
begin to pin your collar at the back of
the neck you must reverse the motion
or have the figure on the pin reversed
its generally the latter. You've got
to put it on with your left hand and
move from left to right, or, If you use
your right hand, remember to move
from left to right. Otherwise the fig
ure will be upside down."
The man shifted in his turn.
Under these complicated circum-
stances, I'd suggest that they stop
wearing the pesky things" he said.-

There is an irrepressible longing for
amusement. for rollicking fun, in
young people, and If these longings
were more fully met In the home it
would not be so difficult to keep the
boy and girl under the parental roof
A happy, Joyous home is powerful
magnet to child and man. The sacred
memory of 1t has kept many person
from losing his self-respect and from
the commission of crime.
Fun is the cheapest and best medi-
cine in the world for your children as
well as for yourself. Give it to them
in good, large doses. 1t will not only
save you doctors bills. but it will also
help to make your children happier,
and will improve their chances in life.
The very fact that the instinct to
play-the love of fun-is so imperious
in the child shows a great necessity in
its nature which If suppressed will
leave a famine in it's life.
A sunny, joyous, happy childhood is
to the individual what a rich soil and
genial sun are to the young plant.
If the early conditions are not favor
able, the plant becomes starved. This
is true with the human plant. A
starved, suppressed, stunted childhood
makes a dwarfed man. A joyous,
happy, fun-loving environment de-
velops powers, resources and possibili-
ties which would remain dormant in

Art in Lowly Homes.

Several women In the city are try
ing hard to introduce more artistic
conditions into the homes of the poor,
and Miss Grace Lincoln Temple is one
of the leading spirits in the movement
She believes that women, no matter
how little they can afford to spend on
the luxuries Of the eye and taste,
ought to be taught how to get their
moneys worth in what is genuinely
artistic and beautiful, instead of spend
ing 1t on atrocities of painted china
and cheap imitation bric-a-brac. At a
meeting of children on the East Side
q few days ago Miss Temple illustrated
her remarks with an inkstand made
In the likeness of a china pig, and
warned her little hearers against such
hideous incongruities. Miss Lincoln
says the results of her efforts and
those of her friends already are bear
ing fruit and that prints of famous
pictures are taking the places OF
gaudy Autographs or imitation flowers
IN many homes, parents and children
alike being delighted with the change
when they realize that representations
of real works of art can be bought as
cheaply as the tawdry imitation bronz-
es and "oil painting" with which so
many of the poorer class of stores u.s.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Business Reported About Normal but

with a somewhat severe winter

sidence Of excitement in the financial
markets, the industrial and trade sit
uation shows improvement and the
outlook for the spring season is prom
ising. 1t is an easy matter, of course.
to pick flaws in the situation, certain
aspects of which are unfavorable.
Among these may be mentioned the
decreasing excess Of exports over Inn
ports, the balance of trade in favor of
this country during the current fiscal
year being the smallest since 1896,
and but for the foreign purchases of
American securities during the recent
decline there would probably be heavy
exports of gold. Then the bond mar
ket Is unfavorable for large flotations,
and this retards extensive works of
construction.
"The Philadelphia strike is an ugly
development, hurting trade in that
city and injurlng sentiment elsewhere.
The heavy liabilities of defaulting
concerns during February, due, how
ever, chiefly to four very large fall
ures, are not a pleasant incident. A
slight tendency to reduction in
building operations is to be noted.
There is also considerable dispo-
sition to wait for congressional legis.
lation and court decisions before en-
tering upon large business commit
ments. But, in spite of all those
things, the fact remains that a big
volume of business, at least closely
approximating normal, is being car
ried on.
Prospects of an active business in
iron and steel multiply. 1t is true
that the recent improvements in the
trade has been largely sentimental,
but 1t is believed that several import
ant undertakings will be inaugurated
with the advent of open weather, es-
pecially in structural lines"

for the women students an elective

women in DR.. Days class, practically
the entire number, have expressed
their desire to begin work at once,
and the first step will be taken when
the class will visit the Parker Memo
rial Hospital at Columbia.
DR.. Day will lecture while a nurse
bathes a baby. Such subjects as the
temperature of the water. when and
how often a soap should be used, what
kind of towels are most sanitary and
what kind of clothing must be used to
keep the baby's skin from being irri-
tated will be discussed.
DR.. Day believes that a nursery
should be run in connection with the
university where women of Columbia
could leave their babies through the
day.

To Clean Old Glass.

Antique glass which does not re-
Quire mending, but is dim and luster-
less, may be made to shine and spark
lie once more if it is washed in water
to which a little ammonia has been
added.
Soapsuds spell ruination to crystal
ware, while drying it with duster
only serves to dim it still more. After
having rinsed and left it to soak in
ammonia water, using a soft brush if
the glass is cut into facets and the dirt
has caught in the squares, the article
should be placed in box and covered
with sawdust. After an hour it will be
found that the wood dust has dried
the glass and given 1t bright luster.

canters which are SO much used nova
days become almost hopelessly discol-
ored when they have held old port or
any wine which leaves a deposit. To
