JARS FOR coRks.

Every pantry shelf should have covered wide mouthed jar as recept- acle for corks In this every cork that is taken from a bottle and that is not badly broken should be kept But be- fore putting away the cork see that it is perfectly clean. To insure this boil the cork in a solution of water and baking soda for at least a quarter of an hour; this will sterilize it thor oughly; then dry in the sunshine. If this plan is followed therew will al- ways be supply of corks of assorted sizes on hand

HANDkERcHlEFs FOR BRIDE.

Instead of hemming. roll the edges French fashion. To do this, first dampen the thumb and first finger of
 the left hand and roll as finely as possible as you continue to sew. The lace edging of insertion that you trim should be sewed on with the same stitch that sews the roll. In other words the roll and edging are sewed at the same time. It makes a prettier, more delicate finish than hem. as it is almost invisible. Such handker- chiefs may be trimmed as simply or as elaborately as you wish. If you wish to embroider the brides mono- gram or her name, cut her signature from the bottom of a letter. Place it against the windowpane with the handkerchief on top and trace the name in pencil upon the linen.
 A novel handkerchief is made with a four-inch diamond shaped center Of white velveteen, which takes the place of the chamois. Powder may be dust ed upon the chamois-velvet center, and it clings to the happy face even better than to the surface of cham OiS skin

Ostrich feathers are more fashion able than ever in Paris. Many of these plumes either curled or uncurled according to fancy, form the sole trimming on numbers of models.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
Danger SfgnaIs-VaIue of Outdoor
Occupation and Amusement.

From the Youths Companion
Nervous prostration is a more or less
complete collapse of the nervous sys-
tenn. 1t occurs when the sufferer has
urged himself beyond the limit of his
nervous endurance. 1t is most common
in early or middle life, when the nerv-
Gus system is most constantly taxed
When it occurs in the very young, ex-
cessive work at school is usually the
cause When it comes later in life it
is because the struggle for existence is
proving too severe
The breakdown is not always caused
by actual overwork. Sometimes il
means. in old-fashioned phrase that
the candle Is being burned at both
ends. Only very strong people can
work hard and keep late hours as well.
The man of average physical POWERS
must make up his mind to devote him.
self to his work and get his recreation
In healthful occupations outdoors As
means or rest and amusement for the
tired business or professional man
nothing Is better than quiet game Of
golf-not taken too seriously
Nervous prostration does not declare
al
danger signals. 1t may be no longer
possible to accomplish the usual ouan-
tity or quality of work because of i'm
paired memory or loss of the mower

and tendency to constant fauIt-fnd

be nervous indigestion and the simplest
food may cause distress In some cases

VIII burst into tears like a girl
Most cases of nervous prostration
could have been prevented if taken in
time. The ordinary man is intelligent
enough to recognize in himself thu
many signs of overstrain. and there are
few so driven by circumstances that
they cannot. if they chose. relax a lit

the greatest spendthrift of nervous
