Sschets From Cut Flowers.

Girls who receive a number Of bou-
quets during the winter may preserve
the scent of the roses and violets by
means of two ordinary fruit jars. one
for each variety of bloom. While the
flowers still are fresh cut off their
stems, place the petals and stems in
the jar and pour over them an equal
quantity of cornmeal. Instead of pack
ing the jar tightly leave almost a third
of the space unoccupied, so that when
the lid has been screwed on the con-
tents of the receptacle may be shaken
together. Then set the jar outside Of
a window or in some cool and conven-
lent place. as every day it must be
gently shaken and the top removed for
just long enough for very little fresh
air to touch the contents. When the
rose and violet leaves are perfectly
brown the cornmeal will have absorb
ed their odor, and the entire mixture
may be transferred to an ornamental
potpourri jar or used for various sorts
of sachetS.

The Expressive Face.

The most expressive face is not one
which writhes or agonizes with every
sorrowful feeling or twists and squirms
with every amusing situation. 1t is
rather the one which retains calm
exterior while the strongest emotions
of the soul play upon it with their
lights and shadows.
The face should be the smooth cur
tain on which the heart exhibits it's
various pictures without disturbing it,
not the stage which requires the shift
ing of scenery for every act.
The reason why SO many beautiful
faces are to be found in a convent is.
in a great measure, due to the daily
habit of composing the features in
long hours of meditation and prayer.
Unmarried by contending emotions. the
features are gradually nodded into
harmonious outlines. Train your fea-
lures to composure and avoid all gri
macing habits.

Help For Lispers.

Lisping is sometimes caused by the
shape of the tongue. sometimes it is
due to habitual self consciousness when
talking and sometimes to ignorance in
enunciation. In this case lessons from
an elocution teacher will often over
come the trouble entirely. The pupil
will learn for the first time in her life
how to place her tongue when pro-
nouncing certain letters and combina-
tons of letters. and with constant prac.
tice the lisp will disappear. If the lisp
is due to nervousness or self conscious
ness, as stammering often is, instruc-
ton in elocution will help great deal.

Horse Notes.

Blanket them warmly and do not al
low them to stand uncovered in the
wind
Keep the mud cleaned off the horses
legs and they won't have cracked
heels.
Do not nag at your horse. The con-
slant clicking spoils horse and is a
nuisance in a crowd.
The pure bred draft breeding mare
will do as much work as q grade, and
her colt will be worth much more.
Baking is inexcusable and is always
the fault of the driver, not of the
horse 1t is the direct result of bad
management.
Clip the heavy coated horses now,
as the hair begins to loosen. Brush
them thoroughly every day from head
to heels and note the improvement in
condition.
It will pay any farmer of good judy
ment and intelligence to raise high
grade or pure bred draft colts. says
the Farm Journal. One important
requisite is that they should be good
feeders.
1t isn't good plan to hang any
thing up in the stall where horses are
kept. even If the nails or hooks are
high above them Colts are particular
ly apt to be scared If such things drop
on them. as they are likely to do, and
so be made skittish.

A Graceful Gait.

A Graceful Gait.
Practically every woman walks too
rapidly for grace.
A tall woman for some reason walks
more slowly than short one. Her
elbows. shoulders and hips move from
side to side.
To be graceful don't look at your
feet, but hold your head we'll up in the
air. Don't shuttle. A little thoughtful
ness and practice in high stepping will
soon break you of this ugly habit.
Don't bend your back at the waist IN
der the impression that you are there
by walking erectly. 1t throws the
stomach forward and Is almost as
inimical to grace as round shoulders.
Don't allow yourself to walk pigeon
toed'-that is, with the toes turned in
or straight.
1t is always hard to tell what to do
with the hands. The natural way, to
have them hanging at the sides or
loosely clasped in front. is not beauti-
full. And to have them glued to the
sides as far as the waist line and then
bent in at the elbow is not only awk-
ward in itself. but elevateS the Shout
ders in the most unlovely way. There
fore most women try to Obviate the
difficulty by carrying something.

1t Is essential that the calf have
plenty OF exercise for the develop
ment OF bone and muscle. and II a
yard or paddock Is provided in
which the calf can run and play it

is natural for all young stock to
run and gallop about as soon as
they have received strength enough
to do so. and it is best never to
keep them closely confined.

Soda For Bad Breath.

A fourth of teaspoonful of bicar-
donate of soda taken in half a glass
full of water before each meal will
help to correct the kind of indigestion
that gives a bad breath. The bicar-
Donate of soda granules. that you can
obtain at any druggists, are good for
this purpose and are excellent for the
teeth as they dissolve in the mouth
Charcoal tablets are also good and are
taken after meals in the same way.
Another splendid remedy is a table
spoonful of glycerin in wineglass of
bot water after each meal

the calf's stomach until it is two

When the calf is about two weeks

CALVES
FOR THE DAIRY

A calf for the dairy should be from
the best cows and well developed and
at three days old active and bright. AS
soon as she Is born take her out Of

mother will be more quiet and the calf
will learn to drink more readily than
