JEWELS NEED BEST OF CARE
Precious Stones Quick to Resent Neg
Iect-How They Should Be
Treated for Good Results.

Women who own valuable jewelry
should take personal care Of 1t and In
telligent care at that. Leaving fine
gold and precious stones to rattle
around in a dusty jewel box is giving
them not attention, but neglect.
Clean gold and silver by scrubbing
with solft soapsuds with solft tooth
brush. After washing cover them with
sawdust to dry. Rubbing half a lemon
on silver will keep It from blackening
and furnishing.
Diamonds must also be brushed
lightly with soapsuds and rinsed in
cologne water. Keep the edges In the
diamond setting clean, scrapiug them
gently with a clean toothplck, not
hard enough to loosen the stone.
To cleanse pearls never use water.
Water turns pearls black and spoils
all their beauty. Foolish as 1t may
sound, shutting them up with piece
Of ashwood will keep them white with
out any further precaution. Pearls
are the most sensitive Of all gems and
show easily the bodily and mental
health of the wearer. Moreover, they
lose their luster and die II not worn
at all.

LIFTING CATS AND RABBITS
Mistake to LII Animal by Nape Of
Neck Without Supporting Lower
Part Of Body.

1t il a mistaken idea that the proper
way to lift full-grown cat is by the
nape Of its neck without supporting
the lower part of its body with the
other hand, says Watchword.. Il Is
true that the mother cat carries young
kittens by grasping in her mouth the
loose skin at the back of her or
springs neck, but a tiny kitten Is a
very different matter from large cat.
and, indeed, the only way to lift q
kitten without squeezing or hurting
It's soft little body is to lift It by its
neck; but after It has grown larger its
own weight Is too great to be support
ed by such BIT Of skin and fur as IL
SO grasped by the hand, and many a
cat suffers perfect tortures By being
held in this manner, and is quite help
less to run or struggle, as IN such
position certain Of its muscles cannot
be controlled, and It is absolutely at
the mercy of its unconscious tormen-
tor.
The same rule should be observed
In lifting rabbits by their ears. They
should always be partially supported
by the free hand and not allowed to
dangle with their whole weight strain
ing from their large but necessarily
delicate ears.

eLoRIEs OF THE NEeLIGEE
Present styles Well Adapted for Max
Ing Garment Both Comfortable
and Withholding.

The popular "negligee" Is an inter-
esting part Of the average wardrobe.
In the past, when the wrapper" held
sway with housewives, this phase Of
the wardrobe was a thing to be de-
plored. It was possibly the Mother
Hubbard's" strenuous use late In the
last century that ousted the style
completely. It was about that time
that the tea gown came into strenuous
vogue, and even since that era the
negligee has been more slightly
whether the Mother Hubbard" wrap
ped and the tea gown had anything to
do with the TRANSFORMATION or not.
The limp materials used now and
the picture" styles are all suited TO
the house gown, and unless a woman
is very seriously incapacitated from
obtaining pretty clothes there Is no
reason why even the little morning
slip on" should not be becoming and
attractive. One finds in the shops all
sorts and kinds Of pretty dressing
sacuues at wonderfully small prices.
They may be made at home with still
less expense, to be sure, and with bet

a large part of the feminine popula-

to buy garments ready made than to

There are women who have a seam.
stress to help out with the sewing,
but such helpers are as hard to find
as the proverblal hens teeth. Good
sewers seem to have abandoned their
rightful profession Tor something else.
Many of the thin cottons and silks
that are selling at reduced prices are
lust the thing for little house dresses
and sacQues. For morning wear in the
family many women have come to
wear a white or col0red linen or cot
ton wash skirt with q pretty sacQue.
Such sacQues come with belts that
give them q trim look and have col.

The sacque with fitted back and
kimono front and belt that may be
dipped well at the waistline is uni
versally becoming. Some very fine,
well finished batiBte ones Of this kind
sell for less than dollar. The fronts
and backs are tucked, there is a h-
mono band down the front and around
the neck, and the sleeves are Of three
quarter length with tucked cuffs.

Care Of Linen.

One of the most important depart.

hold is that which embraces care Of
linen. Accordingly when this Is well
dried and put away in the closet the
next duty Is to secure 1t from the eff
fects of damp and insects. These in
truders are often destructive, but they
may be prevented from doing injury by
making the bags and filing with laven-
der, cedar shavings or a strong per-
fume and placing among the linen. In
all cases 1t will be found that the linen
rs well as all the other washable arti-
Giles will be economical by being ex-

repaired previous to sending to the

Plan Of Pit.

Upon -one occasion he caused six
prisoners to be placed in these pits,
three Of them dressed in red In the
pits numbered / 2 8, and three more
dressed in yellow in the pits num-
bered 10, IL, IL. The Sultan COM
manded his vizier to provide each Of
these prisoners, who were complete
strangers to one another, with rife
and FIVE cartridges, and to inform
them separately that any Of them
who could escape alive under the fol-
lowing conditions should be set free
and returned to his own country:
The three dressed In red were to
exchange places with the three dress
ed in yellow, but only one man was to
move at a time, upon given signal,
u bell for the red and a whistle for
the yellow. Each man could move
only from the pit in which he stood
to another pit that he could see In a
direct line with his own, the passage
from one pit to another being always
a direct line through the dark.
AS each pit commanded view Of
two others, each man was told that II
he saw another man dressed in a diff
ferent color from himself standing In
any pit he should fire upon him at
once and kill him or the man whom he
saw would in turn shoot at him. II
any survived and got to the other side
of the maze they would be set free.
This plan having been explained to
the prisoners before the day set for
the experiment and each Of them hav-
ing been provided with plan Of the
maze 1t appears that one Of them had
studied out a plan by which they
might all escape with their lives, and
when they were placed in the pits,
the tops of which were open to the
sky, he called to the others in his own
language and was delighted to find
that they all understood him, where
upon he explained his plan and gave
the word of command to each man as
to the direction he should take. In
% moves they had safely changed
places, no red man having ever seen
a yellow man and no two men having
ever been In the same pit at the same
time.
How was this accomplished?
