ABOUT INTERPRETATIONS.

Charcoal is the most powerful ab sorbent of poisonous gases arising from any cause known, and several saucers filled with small bits should be kept in every refrigerator.
 Each shelf should have one; where the milk and butter are kept two should be placed; one near the drain always, and the whole interior is purified by this simple precaution.
 Where much meat or fruit is kept a refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned out twice week, at least and every day in hot weather. It should not be allowed to get hot but the cleaning should extend to the ice chamber by lifting out the grating with the ice on it and thor oughly scrubbing it with a brush and water with ammonia in it. Then the ice replaced and the other com partments taken in turn

Th0r0ugEaness i'm Teaching

In the education of the child just as much attention should be given to the simple practical things as to the complex theoretical ones.
 Thoroughness in teaching is de pendent upon many things. The school directors must supply full equipment the parent must make a complete surrender of the child to the school the pupil must come 10 school. not in par, but as whole, and the teacher must be wholly pre- pared for his work. If all work sys- tematically and in harmony, sym metrical development will be the result
 To be a successful teacher one must throw wide open the windows of the soul. come in close touch with every part of his work. give and receive. take in and send out. He must feel and live that which he teaches. For this to be possible the surrounding atmosphere must be har-

 To educate the boy thoroughly is to develop him physically, morally. mentally, spiritually - wholly. Not one of these faculties should be de veloped and leave the others neglect ed. but there must be a rounding out and development of the whole. I had rather have boy 10 learn, to feel and 10 practice that there is such a thing as just authority and that obedience to it is manly than to have him promoted to a higher grade IL is not our purpose to cram the mind with facts and rules. but to foster in the active mind of our pupils living principles that will forever grow It is not our plan to give attention 10 the intellect and leave the other faculties bare. but in giving symmetrical development we are aiding our pupils to become just such characters as the God of Nature designed ed-Contributed.

oo Much Money
 Floods Chicago

CHICAGO, .. 5.-Country banks of the Central West and Northwest have flooded their Chicago banks with cash until money has become a drug on the local market Be tween $50,000000 and $75,000 O00, bankers estimate, has been received in Chicago from country correspon- dents within the last 30 days.
 This sudden flood of money has upset the money market as com pletely, although in different man her, as did the war scare
 Chicago banks, free to buy com mercial paper with their success in reserves. find commercial paper even at and AZ per cent, a com paratively scarce article.
 This is ascribed to the timidity of businessmen in resuming normal operations and the statement is em- phatically made that future scope of operations and prosperity is up to the businessman. The banks want to make good loans because in the activity of good loans lies the bank CTS profit.

CLEAN LACE CURTAINS
 WITH CORN MEAL.

It is not always necessary to wash lace curtains, even when they are discolored with dust and smoke. Washing curtains shortens their life and often treatment with corn meal will cleanse them perfectly.
 Take down the curtains and shake them free from dust. Spread a sheet on the floor and lay one cur tain smoothly on it, cover thickly with cornmeal. lay on another cur tain and again cover with the meal. continue till all the curtains are covered with the meal, then roll up closely and lay away for few days.
 When wanted, unroll, brush out the meal. hang on the line in the wind and sun for half day and you will find that when hung at the window they will look like new.

Current of Golden
 Gate Is Measured

SAN FRANCISCO.-Results of the States geological survey, who, with the cooperation of the United States army office of rivers and harbors. for ten days utilized the steamer Suisin. moored to buoy in the narrowest part of the Golden Gate. as a place from which to measure the speed of the current through the Gate, have been announced.
 At greatest strength of the out going current on September l9, the meters showed speed of Fl feet per second or AT miles per hour velocity to be encountered in the Golden Gate, because the fall of tide on that day was not large
 While the new measurements are more elaborate than any made be- fore, they occasion no change in the manual prepared for the use of naVlgatOrS. The coast Pilot, writ ten by the late Prof. George David son in 1889, states that a surface current of 66 miles an hour has been measured between Fort point and Lime point.
 The engineers on the Suisiu ob- tained their data by lowering cur rent meters into the water by slen- CTS revOlved by the current a series of clicks were transmitted upward, and into velocity This record was made day and night for ten days.

A CLEVER ALTERATION.

Plain nightdresses made up with a set in sleeve can be elaborated by overlaying the seam with lace in sertion, embroidering the edge to the fabric of the gown and then cutting away the seam, leaving the lace as substitute.
 This little trick is also advisable on the lingerie blouses which come untrimmed, ready for the hand work of the buyer.
 Nothing so quickly changes the aspect of garment as this single row of insetting, and provided the lace is not too frail the wearing qualities of the garment are not lessened materially.

CARE OF NAILS AT HOME.

Is it possible to have really nice looking nails without going 10 a manicurist?
 It is, although. of course. if the nails have hitherto been neglected it would be well to pay visit or two to a manicurist in order to get them nice shape.
 It is considered better to file the nails than to cut them and they should be shaped to the form of the finger rather than to point
 Do not make the mistake of cut ting the cuticle around the nail. as it then becomes hard and forms an ugly ridge, which will spoil the prettiest hand. Every time the hands are washed the skin should be gent ly pressed back with the aid of the towel: this practice will be found far more effective than the use of orange wood or ebony sticks. A good soft nail brush should be used.
 some nallS nave natural ten dency to be brittle. Olive oil is a good remedy for this, and the nails should be soaked in it for five or ten minutes about twice a day.
 The nails can be polished with a polisher covered with clean piece of chamois leather sprinkled with little polish powder
 It should be remembered that the nails must never be manicured un- less they have been well washed in warm water.
