PROMINENCE OF THE SWEATER.

It is a pity that we cannot read fly find another word for the gar ment we call a sweater, and which the Parisienne calls a golf jacket Its origin in the gymnasium for purposes of health have been for gotten, but the name given them clings to it now To call it a knit ted jacket does not sound pleasant to the ears, for it suggests a bed room garment.
 The fashionable usage of this GOV ering, which began on the sea coasts of Europe last summer and spread like d prairie fire, demands for it better and a more refined name
 Now is the time to take the gar ment into consideration, for the out door life is beginning. especially for those in warmer climates. The new version of it is in knitted silk, in bright colors, and so soft and sup pie that it clings to the figure like the jersey that Lily Langtry made fashionable.
 The most popular color is yellow. in the tones known as canary and

BRIGHT EYES.

Why do people want to ruin their eyesight by putting belladonna into the eyes just to enlarge the pupils ? Don't do it unless you want them to become blind. It certainly does not benefit the eyes-it ruins them.
 To keep the eyes bright they must be taken care of Wash them each morning with a good eye wash, using an eye cup. Salt water, about as salty as tears, will benefit the eyes. If your eyes are properly taken care of they will be bright without the use of drugs.

YCUR WASH SILK WAIST.

How to launder the popular silk waists satisfactorily is something of problem, but with care they may be washed and ironed so that they will look almost like new The i'm portant things to remember are that the water in which they are washed should be iukewarnl, the different waters used should be of the same temperature, the silk should not be worn until it is so badly soiled that it requires rubbing to remove the dirt. that it should not be creased by wringing, and that in ironing a moderately warm iron should be used.
 If these rules are followed the process of laundering is made simple A good suds may be made oi wa ter which is not too warm 10 De uncomfortable for the hands, with pure white soap. Souse the waists up and down until the water becomes dark then change the water quickly and continue this process until the waists are perfectly clean. The rinsing water should be of the same tempe rature. After the soap has been en- tirely removed the waist may be patted carefully between two soft towels, then snapped in the air to remove any extra moisture that re- mains and rolled in a towel for an hour before ironing. Care must be taken that the irons are not too avoided in laundering silk material

SAVE FAT FOR SOAP.

During winter, ham, pork, bacon and other meats which yield great deal of fat are used more freely than in the warm weather. The careful housewife should see to it that not a scrap of the fat is thrown away or wasted.
 To be sure, some of it may be used to advantage in making gravies and sauteing vegetables. but in al most every household there is a tendency 10 throw away the fat as quickly as possible.
 Instead of practising this extra vagance, strain the fat and put it into a covered pail or can When you have three or four pounds make it up into soap.

gers become sore from shooting. To
overcome this entirely put the propel-

only be no sting to the finger in sud-

direction of the shot may be far better
controlled. Let the finger nail meet

WEED WATER PIPE MATERIAL
Large, Hollow, Straight Stalks of Com
mon Cow Weed Used by Boy on
West Virginia Farm.

A boy of fourteen, on a West Vir-
ginia farm, has piped water from a
hillside spring to the house a hundred
yards away and the total expense was
less than so cents. He used the large,
hollow, straight stalks of common wild
COW weed, over an inch in diameter
and each five and six feet long, fitting
the little ends tightly into the big ends
after wrapping the latter with twine
to keep them from splitting and also
wrapping the centers and painting the
outsides with asbestos black. The
pipes are supported on forked sticks,
overhead high for part of the dis
tance and for the rest are put Just un-
der the stony ground.
