The obstreperous child will often give you feeling of helplessness, ana you will be tempted to call in the assistance of a stronger power. You threaten to call in the policeman. or course you never do call in the pollce- man, but the threat serves your inn mediate purpose. For the time being the child is intimidated, and you heave a sigh of relief.
 But in calling upon the name of the complished more than you really had in mind You have, indeed, subdued the little rascal; but you have also converted powerful and useful
 When very young child has been thus brutally scared by the bugaboo we can understand his going into a fit of mysteries upon the policeman taking him in his arms the day he got lost in the park. For when he grew older, and got lost on strange street, he knew enough to ask for guidance to help find his way home; but he was too wise to ask the policeman; he asked a stranger instead. He did not know that the policeman was the safest man to ask; he knew no more that the policeman is his friend than did the baby that went into mysteries
 However, walk through city park must impress one with the change that has come about in the re- lation between the children and the policeman. The attitude of the latter has changed in the course of genera ton, largely through the agitation for giving the city child a chance to play; in part also because of the different type of men to be found. on the police force. But the greatest and most en- couraging change is that in the par ents. It is now the most ignorant or the most thoughtless who still resort to the use of this friend as a bugaboo.
 Our intelligence has not gone far enough to make us eliminate from our armory all bugaboos. If a child has had disagreeable quarter of an hour under the dentists drill. he will re- member for long time that he suf- fered. But it would be stupid, indeed, to threaten another visit to the dentist as a penalty for refusing to brush the teeth.
 While it is true that neglect of the teeth will necessitate visit to the dentist, tho attitude toward the den- tist must be one of complete friend Illness, and not that of fear. He is the person to help us when our teeth have got into trouble through neglect, or to help us avoid trouble in the future. .fit#t

Household Notes

N~--->-------
 Never cook vegetables in an iron kettle.
 Sugar tends to improve the texture of cakes.
 If cake cracks open while bak- ing, there is too much flour in it.
 Soaking in cold water makes the washing of all garments much easier.
 The quickest method of warming cold plates in winter is to dip them in hot water.
 Baking soda will sweeten milk ves- sells, clean brasses and is good for dish washing.
 When the nails are brittle, apply vaseline, or hold them in warm sweet oil every day
 When a vegetable has lost it's firm ness, soak it in very cold water until it is crisp and plump.
 If boiling milk is poured on the beaten eggs when making baked GUS tard, it will bake them firm.
 A good test in choosing beef is to press 1t with the thumb; if it rises quickly, it is of good quality.
 The flavor Of peas will be much improved if a dozen pea pods are washed and cooked with them.
 In making a plain omelet, it is bet ter to add hot water than milk, as it makes it much more tender.
 In the sick room, it is much more pleasant for the patient if the medi- cine bottles are kept out of sight.
 Try frying fish in fat that has been saved from former frying; the flavor will be very much improved.
 When cutting fur, never use scis- sors: use a razor or very sharp pen knife to cut through the skin at the back. "e
 Put raisins and other small fruits in a corn pepper when you want to wash them. Put them in it under the faucet.
 Boiled or roasted meat that is to be cut cold should be wrapped in d clean. moist cloth. It will be more tender.
 If very light cake is put into quick oven, it will rise rapidly round the sides, but leave a hollow in the middle.
 In order to insure lightness in cake. it should be put into the oven as soon as the baking powder or other risinx medium has been added.
 All linen should be hung straight to dry, and all pieces will wear better if a third or half of the napkin or tablecloth is hung over the line.
 When childrens shoes are wet, dry them and apply little glycerine

Boiled buildings should never be turned out the moment they are done They are very likely to break if this is done.

with a bit of absorbent cotton. They will be quite soft in the morning.
 Refuse and garbage can be wrapped in a newspaper before putting it into the garbage can. In this way the inside of the can may be kept clean.
 If a baking dish has been scorched or burned, fill it with cold water to which a pinch of soda has been added. Allow it to boil and the dish can be easily cleaned.

which were not fiatteripg. One of her
friends met the man on a street cor

lowed by a fistic encounter. An iron
bar was used in infiicting punishment
upon Skahebhak. The Russian made
no complaint against the man who
beat him, although forced to seek The
aid of a physician. He was arrested,
however, when the girl swore out a

admitted his guilt and after a severe
-eprimand Magistrate Gustafson fled
him s5.05 and made him promise to |
cease molesting the girl.
