THE CAREFUL FRENCH.
They Thrifty Look After Their Small
BELONGINGS

Were the American woman as care
full of little things as is the thrifty
Frenchwoman. her reputation for econ
omy would grow as her possessions in
creased.
Our French sisters take personal care
Of their own small belongings They
would just as soon trust 'kerchief to
a laundress as they would the piece of
rare old family lace.
French thrift demands that the merest
bit of sheer linen last its allotted time,
and that it shall do SO requires that great
pains be taken with it. If madam has 4
maid. then she must be thoroughly in
structed as to her duties along this line,
and handkerchiefs are expected to be
her special charge. If, however, the lit
tie menage does not boast of such Il
luxury as personal maid, then madame
must do her own washing.
In the first place, her handkerchiefs
are never allowed to become unduly
soiled. and after once using are put into
q small linen bag that always hangs
beside the toilet table. When half a
dozen or more have been collected they
are put to soak III an earthen bowl filled
with cool water and suds made from the
best Of washing soap, in this they should
remain for half an hour: after which
they are carefully rinsed in more cool
water Then comes the thorough wash
ing of them in hot water in which q
spoonful of bOraX has been dissolved.
This is done as gently as possible by
patting and rubbing, ana for this last
many women use 4 child's toy wash
board. which is exactly the right size for
the purpose. In this way no threads of
the fine material are broken. a disaster
which is difficult to remedy. The final
rinsing is also done through many cool
waters until every particle of soap is
gone. and then comes the climax of the
entire performance.
The handkerchiefs are placed in a
bowl of milk into which have been put a
few drops of essence Of violet, which is
strong and of a blush tinge. And this
Will give to them the pure white color
which is so necessary. From this each is
taken and partially dried in a clean towel
and at once ironed. No starch is used
for the milk takes the place of that, and
the little ironing board is covered first
with heavy flannel and afterward with
spotlessly clean piece of white cloth.
An iron is kept especially for this
| work, and usually this is some patent
affair either for electricity or alcohol
TO do this all properly will take an hour
OF more Of madam's time: but she feels
herself more than repaid for that by the
results seen. The little pile of handker
chiefs will come from her hands as if
fresh from the shelves of shop. and
they viii have the delicate fragrance of
having lain in violet sachet Anything
dalntier and more satisfying to the eye
it would be hard to imagine, and any
woman who cares for these pretty trifies
could not help but take a certain amount
of pleasure in this kind of work

Fish as Food for Londouers.

The port of Londons proposed duty on
fish and fruit reminds us that fish at
least has always been an important con-
stituent of the food supply of the me-
tropolis. and in early times the Thames
itself yielded an enormous supply.
Westminster Abbey formerly claimed a

Gravesend to Staines, and lawsuit was
successfully maintained against the rec

add. For some time the two bantered
each other about their increasing weight,
and Thaw begged his wife to walk up

her better. Then they took up the often
discussed question of a settlement. Mrs
Thaw declined to consider anything but
going abroad to study sculpture, but her
husband insisted as firmly that she
should study in America. at will be

Her Scalp ItcheG IntO1erab1y.

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when l!
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most Of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, Will itch
and smart when first beginning to
neal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. / was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was SO great
that, when partially awake, | would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.

a toilet soap before, I now decided to

for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. I COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp I used about one-half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time I took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive Or tedi-

A Million Pens a Year.

In addition to its full equipment of
typewriters, it takes 100000 pen
points a year to help keep the trains
running on the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads. This is at the
rate of sixty-six for every mile of the
two roads. These pens are of a variety
of styles, although the fner-pointed va
rieties find greater favor than do the
stub pens. The employees of the two
roads also require about $4,000 penhold-
ers and 10000 pencils in a year. This
means that for each mile of track thirty
pencils are needed in a twelvemonth.
These supplies are ordered through the
general offices in st. Paul and are dis
tributed over the system. If the roads
had to pay for their supplies at ordinary
retail prices the supply of pens alone
would cost $500 a year, and pencils at
a nickel each would swell the expense
account of each line $4,000.

Rich Legacy IN Maple Trees.

twenty-five years ago Vermont man
weft west and planted $50 maple trees
In Medora, Kan, in the very heart of the
region once described as the Great Amer
icah desert, says the Utica Press. Mr..
Barnes, who was a foresighted and pa
tent man, now has a fine sugar camp, at
present in the midst of sugar making.
Farmers in that vicinity annually plant
small fields of huckwheat for cakes for
cefsumptisn along with the maple syrup
produced at the N1edora grove. A sugar
groEe may not be very attractive to the
man who looks for quick returns, but
farmers IN many parts of the country
may leave a rich legacy to coming gen
era1lons by planting a few hundred ma
pie trees.
