HUMAN TRAITS IN ANIMALS.
Mans Kinship With Brute Creation
Shown by Leading Characteristics.

One Of the most noticeable things in
studying animal life is the large por-
ton Of nature akin to human with
which the brutes arc endowed.
The instructive and emotional ma
lures OF men and animals are identical
In many respects. Sensation. percep-
ton, the power Of association. curios-
ity, jealousy. joy, anger. love. the
homo instinct, fear. chivalry-an these
are present in the animal nature. Many
Of these traits. especially the homing
instinct, are much keener than In man.
and many Of the senses, sight and
smell particularly, are much more de-
veloped than in the human animal.
There seems also to be something akin
to telepathy, an apparent ability Of
animals to communicate with each 9TH
er without the medium OF sign OF
speech.
One of the strongest Of the anima! in
stincts IL that Of blind anger. the vent
ing of spite on inanimate things. Fol-
example. animals caught in traps will
punish the sticks and stones that lie
conveniently near. It IL the same i'm

ATTENTION To LOOKS

THERE are o good many women who

It is foolish to shut ones eyes to the
fact that an attractive appearance Is
of immense advantage in dealing with
the world in general as we'll as in
keeping the devotion Of ones friends
and relatives. There is no reason why
woman in ordinary health cannot
retain her good looks until she is quite
old IL she takes a little care Of herself.
In my opinion, the cause OF SO many
women fading comparatively early In
life Is because they were too busy
about other-and some of them not al
all mportant-things to give this care

Now begin to massage across the

fingers always upward and taking

The easiest way to tone down the

faces Of quite young women, is to in

Alternate this with a pinching motion,

THE increased cost of prunes has
raised that fruit in the estimation
of its consumers. That significantly
dietetic piece of slang which amounted
simply to saying the word in certain
way-like this. o prunes!-will soon
no longer be heard. and possibly this
fruit will disappear from the tables of
the reform schools for boys. to their
great loss.
There are other reasons besides its
aristocratic price level why we should
have an increased respect for the
prune always held in esteem by doc
tors who understood dietetics.
Prunes and Raisins.
"Prunes and raisins," DR.. Wiley says,
"can be recommended to the consumer
without an If or but They have
not had to pass through q purgatory
or hades. They are innocent of the
odor OF burning sulphur Alas, so
much cannot be said Of dried peaches,
apples and apricots. Not only are
these saturated with sulphur fumes at
the time Of drying, but also again and
more severely SO when they fall into

A quick way TO swell prunes In
stead of soaking them for several
hours is to put them into tepid water
and set them on a hot radiator or over
a simmerlng burner turned low. Tepid
| water may be used in the first washing
| to start any dirt, which will come off
readily after the prunes are moist.
Follow the first washing by one with
cold water. A little of this poured off
into a glass will show whether further
washing is needed.
| Slowed Prunes.
| Careful cooking until soft, after the
prunes are swollen to about their nat
ural size, will smooth out every wrin-
kle. and the fruit can then be used in
numerous attractive ways. whole or

HANDKERCHIEFS with broad hens
are now the fashion of the mo-
ment 1t has been some time since
broad hens were in. but they are
a pretty fashion. and especially do we
embroiderers welcome them.
A hemstitched broad hem somehow
shows the hemstitching to better at
vantage than the narrow hens. The
new hem is about an inch in width.
II can be made either from sheer
handkerchief linen or that of smooth.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To clean a leather travelling bag
wash the bag well with tepid water
and little soap. After it is dry put
little oxalie acid into a cupful of ho,
water and wipe the bag well with

dry brush the bag with the white OF
an egg and you will be surprised to
see how new It looks.
For removing egg stains from white
linen the following Is good: Before

A FEW FASHION FoIBLEs.

FLAT knife plating is almost never
done by hand now. At speciality
shops all depths of knife plating to a
width of about thirty inches can be
pressed into the goods by machinery.
This mechanically laid plating Is
used in dresses. as are the accordion
plaitings. Though 1t is generally
plated so that the folded edges all
turn In one direction. it can be done
the other way. SO that the plaits turn
backward from the center front on
each side.
Ordinary hemming is seldom seen
now on modish dress models. Picot
edges are the accepted fashionable
finish for any edge that would once
have required a hem. A dress may be
