Yesterday | heard my Bohemian
neighbor say to her eleven-year-o
daughter:
If you do that again I'll put a
mustard plaster On you."
The child didn't do it again.
When | asked why, the mother told
me that in her country disobedient
children ARE punished by applying a
mustard plaster. 1t is more effica-
cious than whipping, scolding, or
moral suasion. The plaster isn't
left on long enough to blister badly,
but even without blister mustard
plaster is a corrective measure that

Baroness Purdett Coutts, a very rich
woman, who was nearly 40 years his
senior. Lady Randolph, with hei
beauty and charms, did splendid worn

To a group of farmers she said one
day:
Won't you promise me to vote for
Mr. AshmeadBartlett?"
MY lady," said a red-faced farmer
with chuckle, well all vote for him

Randolph. your offer is accepted.

HOW TO CLEAN WHITE SHOES
Comparatively Simple Matter to Re.
store Footwear to Original Per-
feet Whiteness.

Many a girl discards her white
shoes when they are good and dirty
without knowing that a little effort
will restore them to their pristine
purity.
The first requirement for complete
restoration is not to get the white
shoes too soiled. for they never look
so well as when they are taken in
hand before the discoloration becomes
too deep. After wearing canvas shoes
they should be given a good brushing
with a stiff brush, the sole edges and
heels freed from mud and washed off
with plain water. But do not let the
water get on the canvas, for this will
only serve to fasten the soil the tight
er. For whitening the canvas there
are many bottled liquids in the mar
ket, Chinese white being a favorite
and the most efficacious one. A home

if put together according TO the formu-
la is made of half an ounce of gum
arabic dissolved in 40 ounces of water;

coat after the first one has dried in,

Where 1t is desired to match a shoe

or satin slippers may easily be

ing a little dye to the gum arabic wa
ter and vinegar instead of the chalk.
With any of the bottled liquids they
may also be made tan or black.

for the benefit of the readers of this
column
In the first place." said the expert
don't make the mistake that one
woman did who came complaining to
me today. l questioned her concern
ing the food she had given the fish
and found that she had fed them moth.
ing but bread. That is sure way
to kill the fish, for the bread contains
yeast and this sours the water and ii
would be necessary to change it every
half hour or so to keep the fish alive.
If you will watch a fish that is fed
with bread you will see him eat il
for a little time, but as the bread gets
sour from the action of the water he
will take it in his mouth and cough it
out very quickly. Common sense
ought to teach one that when the fish
spits out the bread it is not the right
food for him. Oatmeal makes good
fish food, but the prepared food make
especially for the purpose is the best
thing to feed them with.
Don't overfeed the fish, They don't
require lot of food. Give them
enough to have a good bite or two all
around. but don't keep the fish food
floating all the time on the surface of
the water. 1t fouls the water and the
fish will overfeed themselves and
probably die.

will swim around in any part of the
bowl. But when the oxygen is getting
low and the water used up you will
see the fish crowd to the top and be-
gin to gasp. When they do this, thrust
ing their heads half out of the water
and gulping in the air you will know
that they need fresh water, and If you
do not give 1t to them quickly you will
find your fish floating at the top, dead.
Don't keep the fish bowl in a dark
corner. The fish require sunlight, and
If they are given plenty of light and
air, the water will not need to be
changed so frequently. Remember that
the fish are accustomed in their ma
tive habitat to sunlight and air all
around them. From this, they are
taken and confined in small bowl,
and this bowl is kept in a close room,
into which the sun seldom or never
penetrates, anu the consequence is the
oxygen in the water is used up rap
dly and the fish die for want of air"

USE MUSIC AS ANAESTHETIC

Dreams of Persons Undergoing

to soothe and tranquillize the dreams
of persons who have taken ether OF

The music is begun as soon as the

is continued until the patient awakes.

pressed, receptions in favor of the
candidates were forbidden, newspa-
