Baby Bass Passes Away.

Wilbur Alley, infant son of MT. and Mrs. J F. Bass. died on Tuesda, night at 9:l5, of plications, age s months and 2l days, and was buried in the Forrest City cemetery the fol. lowing afternoon at four o'clock. The precious baby had been sick just a week, and everything that fond love of parents and friends, and science of physicious could suggest was done, uut without avail, and his soul took it's flight to be with Him who said suffer little children to come unto Me n
 Services were conducted al the fam- fly residence by Elder E. P. J. Carrot. and concluded at the grave by Rev. F. w. Gee, in the presence of rela- lives and many friends The little new made grave was hidden with beautiful flowers, emblematical of purity and friendship.
 He was a dear sweet baby boy. the pride and joy of fond parents. Their hearts have been terribly lacerated by the ruthless hand 0f d1ath. They have our sympathy. None but those who have had experience know the bitterness of such bereavement. God alone can comfort ttem.
 We wish we could do or say some thing to cheer them, but words at such a time, seem meaningless and cold and are barren. May God bless our friends. It is hard 10 see the justice or reason ~hy this precious boy should be taken, but We are told that Gods ways are inscrutabe but always for the best, and it is comfort ing to know that the little spirit has joined the everlasting throng that sings around Jehovah throne.

Cleaning and Keeping Clean

Lace and chiffon wells can be washed
very successfully. II the veil is white

pure white soap. Laundry soap will not
do for this purpose. Squeeze the veil in
the hands, and rinse 1t up and down in
the water. In washing white wells a
small quantity of boraX can be added to
the water, not in cleaning colored ones.

allow to dry, then iron on the wrong
side. Even dark chiffon and lace will
wash nicely in this manner.
White gloves can be successfully clean

fire and let 1t stand in the water for an
hour, then take from the water and
remove the outside skin. Sprinkle the
ham with granuleted sugar and cracker
crumbs, a dash of paprika and insert
two or three whole cloves. Put in slow
oven and bake for one hour.
Baked Hash.

chopped raw potatoes, half pint Of gravy

these ingredients together, turn into a

Carrots in Various styles.
The humble carrot has an especially
good effect on the system at this time,
and despite its strong taste it may be
made into the most delicate dishes. Win
ter carrots are slightly boiled in three
different waters to remove this rank
ness, although the new spring sort is
dainty enough to require one water only.
Carrots are delicious when boiled plainly
and served with maitre d'hotel-clarified
butter-sauce. A dust of finely chopped
fresh parsley on top gives them a new
piCsuancy to those who tire of the car
rot taste. Carrots served with cream
are first boiled in plain water. and then
drained and warmed anew in the sauce
that has been preparing. To make this
sauce dilute a little Of the water to

You and Your Servant---
Who Is More to Blame? ?

ableness. the irritability, the careless
habits, the selfish Indulgence of her mis-
tress. If she is not going to get the
credit of doing her work faithfully and
well, why trouble about 1t so? She
slurs over her work and is ill-tempered
when reproved about it. Why should
a mistress who slurred over her duties
expect a maid to be better than her
self? The maid realizes that no sort
of home comforts and home attractions
are provided for her and so she demands
days and evenings OF quite regardless
of whether her hours Of recreation in
terfere with the home comforts and
pleasures of her employers.
II is almost an infallible rule that the
good mistress will make a good servant
and the bad mistress a bad one. Serv-
ants are imitators The lower down in
the scale of creation that a man and
woman are. the more initiative are they
of those who hold the relation of supe-
riors to them. Servants are nearly all
plastic and may be nodded to the hu-
mors of mistress almost as completely
as the sculptor molds his clay.
Let a woman dispassionately consider
her own shortcomings in relation to
those of her servant, and her attitude
towards those who serve her and she
will see many ways IN which she can
make of herself a wiser mistress and of
her maids better servants.
The mistress who nags those who work
for her deserves all that she gets in
women. who pride themselves upon their
housekeeping and who follow behind
their maids in a manner that would eX-
asperate an angel. 1t is a wise woman
who gives as few orders as possible to
her servitors and lets them always un-
derstand that she expects perfect obedi-
ence: who let's her workwomen and men
feel that she looks upon them as human
beings and takes a personal interest In
their welfare; who looks after the health
and comfort Of her dependents as she
would after that Of her children: who
does not exact Of any one more than he
can do; and who knows when II is wis
dom to close her eyes to trivial mistakes
and errors. which are then far less likely
TO be reneathd.

Everyday Manners

Put on your manners with your shirt
waist when you first get up. Don't wait
for the dress-up gown to display your
knowledge of the rules of conduct and
good breeding. To be sure. you need to
remember these things at the various
functions of society-at the bridge table.
the dinner party, the dance and when
making and receiving calls. But where
you need to cultivate politeness most is
in the humdrum of everyday existence.
In the morning, when you awake, per-
haps you are not one of those who can
bound out of bed with a happy. wide
awake freshness. ready and eager for
the days activities, but at any rate you
can remember that true good breeding
demands a pleasant face. a well-modu-
lated voice and courteous behavior as in
sistently at in the morning as it does
al in the evening.

The study of household economics is
engaging the attention Of most of the
civilized world, for there arises con-
slant cry on the part of housekeepers
that servants are so hard to keep and
so good for nothing, generally
Has the woman who makes this asser-
tion ever seriously considered her own
sctions and habits in relation to those
of her servant? Has she ever con-
sidered that her maid Is more lntelH-
gent more informed, more deslrous OF
The GOOD things of life than the maids
did not have half the luxurtes that mod
ern women consider a necessity, and
whose servants had more comforts than
are accorded the servants OF today?
In large cities the servants are usually
given a tiny. stuffy and often i'll lighted
and i'll ventilated room to sleep and live
in. That is enough to breed in the
usual domestic servant a spirit OF dis
content as well as discomfort. She must
seek outside for air and rest.
But the main trouble lies in the fact
that numbers OF women nave become
so lazy in their habits and dispositions
that they resent having the care OF
home with the responsibilities and Ia
bors necessary to the proper ordering
of a household. They resent having TO
keep regular hours-to certain extent
lin order that the servant may learn
the lesson of regularity; they object to
controlling their tempers If things do
not go smoothly at all times. Too many
Tnistresses are hurried in their methods
and slur over the duties of housekeep-
ing; they are irritable and hasty in
speech over trivial matters when a calm
word rightly spoken would mean so
much; they assume that the servant has
no conscience and will neglect her work
unless she is watched; and they have
little or no consideration for the rights
and feelings of their dependents.
This sort of mistress is very common
and the irresponsible servant Is, there
fore, equally common. She is more
ignorant. less self-controlled and pos
sessed of less judgment than her mis-
tress else she would not be a servant

Process OF M!IkInd.

I do not know that the process OF
milking has ever been described The
forefnger first clasps the upper part
of the teat, and then the middle, rine
and little fingers, in rapid succession
so as to drive the milk before then
through the orifce. The knack is
rather difficult to acquire, and at first
very wearying to the hands, though
this soon passes.-From A Farmers
