ALL OVER THE HOUSE
Furnish Bcdrccrns With a Sense of the
Fitness of Things.
Happily the feather bed is a thing
olthe past, and the more healthful
hair mattress has taken iis place.
The most esseniial thing,in tlje bed
.chamber is the bed, which should
toe supplied with the best clothing
one can atford. This room above
all others should bo furnished with
art intelligent, sense of the fitness of
things. It should have what is nec
essary to comfort and health and
not be crowded with useless arti
cles. A dressing table is always a
desirable acquisition, and a writing
desk is another appropriate attrac
tion. The wall paper should bo
restful in tone and the pictures be
good, elevating subjects. Dainty
embroidered linen coverings for the
dressing table and bureau j and
snowy white shams of beautiful de
sign to adorn the bed will afford de
lightful effects. A painted floor,
with a pretty rug, is always more
desirable than a carpet. From a
hygienic point of view carpets are
particularly out of place in the bed
chamber. A commode, supplied
with pure soap, a low clean towels
and water, is a convenience to wash
the face and hands. Perfect clean
liness and order are the indispensa
ble requisites of the bed .chamber,
giving it the necessary atmosphere
of refinement.
To Keep In the House.
Ammonia is of such great value
in household matters that no house
keeper should fail to keep a supply
always at hand. For instance, a
few drops put into the bath water
will make it most invigorating. Its
uses in cleaning and removing
grease are manifold. When aireshr
ly oilodssewing machine has loft yel
low stains on the fabric sewed, these
can bo removed by rubbipg them
ovei with a little liquid ammonia'
and then washing in the ordinary
wav. Again, | toaspoonful of am
monia in a cupful of water will
clean gold or silver jewelry, and a
few drops on the underside of a dia
mond will clean it immediately and
increase its brilliancy. When acid
has been spilt on cloth and has
taken out the color, ammonia should
bo applied to tho spot, after which
a little chloroform rubbed on will
in almost all cases restore tho color.
settling an Estate.
An attorney from Houston, Tex.,
J. D. Bryant, tells this story of
Judge Roy Bean, justice of the
peace in tho Lono Star State, who
is known better as “The Law West
of the Pecos River
He held a coroner’s inquest on a
Mexican who had been found dead
near the Pecos rivor. The jury
brought in a verdict of accidental
death. The crowd was dispersing
when the judge called them back.
“There is another matter to at
tend to,” he said. “On this man’s
body were found $50 and a six shoot
er. It is contrary to the laws of
Texas and to tho peace and dignity
of tho state to carry concealed
weapons. Therefore 1 confiscate tho
revolver and fine the deceased $1.
The costs in the case are $49, which
just settles his estate.”—-Chicago
Journal.
Bread.
Americans are so used to eating
Rot broad for breakfast that they
:seem almost to have disproved the
theory of the indigestibility of rolls
and baking powder biscuits. Still it
is better to vary them with toast
on^e or twice a week at least. A
half loaf of long French bread
placed in the oven long enough to
get quite hot and crisp makes a
good- breakfast bread. The loaf
should be wrapped in a napkin and
broken, not cut, at the table. Muf
fins split and toasted are good. Bos
ton brown bread, sliced and toasted,
is liked by many children.
Edam Cheese Shells.
Take very good care of edam and
pineapple cheese shells. They are
excellent for cooking macaroni in.
Boil the macaroni, mix with a cream
sauce and place it in the shell. Put
the.shell on a piece of oiled or but
tered paper and bake in the oven
for fifteen minutes. A little cheese
may be sprinkled over the top if de
sired, With care a sfyell may- be
used several times.

How Arithmetic Was Taught When
Grandma Went to School.
To the children who today go to
school and are taught in well ex
plained lessons it would seem stighge
if their grandmas should fell them
over again the funny way'that ex
amples were given when they went
to school. In those days children
had to think harder and were^given
much less help with their studies
than they are now. /Daring your
grandma’s schooldays she never had
racks of beads and nice sticks as ob
jects by which addition and sub-
'traction could be made clear. She
never had trial examples shown by
diagrams at the beginning of each
new portion of arithmetic, but had
to put on her thinking cap and
study them out.
How, here is one example, some
thing like those grandma had to
work, and when you see it try to
got the answer, and if you cannot
take it to her, and it is safe to say
she will tell you how to commence
to work it:
My grandfather is 112 years of
age, and my father is just sixty-
four. I am not as old as my grand
father by eighty-two years. What
is the difference in years between
me and my fathor ?
Omelet Cooked In a Hat.
State that you are about to cook
an omelet; then you break four
eggs in u hat, place the hat for a
short time over tiro flame of a can
dle and shortly aftbr produce an
omelet completely cooked and quite
hot. Some persons will be credu
lous enough to believe that by the
help of certain ingredients you have
been enabled to cook the omelet
without lire, but the secret of the
trick is that the omelet had been
previously cooked and placed in the
hat, but could not be seen because
the operator when breaking the eggs
placed it too high for the spectators
to observe the contents. The eggs
were empty ones, tho contents hav
ing been previously extracted by be
ing drawn through a small aperture.
But to prevent the company from
suspecting this the operator should,
as if by accident, let a full egg fall
upon the table, which, breaking,
induces a belief that the others are
also full.
Tho Electrical Nut.
An electric nut is something al
together new, and as strange as the
thing sounds the experiment is easy
to execute. Have a sound English
walnut, and rub the broad end of
tho nut, holding it between thumb
and middle finger, on your coat or
some other woolen stuff, and after
a short while me nut will adhere
to your index finger in such a way
that it will require some pulling to
get it off,
Let somebody try it. x He will
never succeed, as he does not know
the little trick connected with this
experiment.
Tho rubbing is absolutely useless
and is only intended to mislead the
audience. The trick lies only in
HOW THE TRICK IS PERFQRMED.
pressing the seam of the nut while
you rub, forcing it to open on the
'top and catching the skin of the in
dex finger. As soon as the pressure
is released the nui will adhere to
the finger.
Don’t repeat this trick too often,
as the audience will soon find out
that not electricity, but the elastici
ty of the nut, is responsible for the
success of the experiment.
Dressing Table Sets.
Dainty bureau or dressing table
sets are of white muslin filled with
flowered muslin—moss roses and
buds in shades of green, pink and
red on a white ground. The covers
are bordered: with this flowered edg
ing, and also have a strip of it run
ning lengthwise through- the center.
The cover for the pincushion is in
the form of a flowered--and. frilled
s&uare. *
One of "the Finest."
"The nicest man I ever saw,"
Said little Nan to me,
"la the one who stands outside our school
When we’re let out at three.
“He's dressed just as the soldiers are;
H.e wears gold buttons, too,
And.he stands up so proud and straight,
The way the soldiers do.
"He always says, ‘Come, little kids,
I’ll take you ’cross street.’ And
I guess-'cause I'm the littlest girl
He always holds my hand.
"And all the cars and horses stop;
He’s so big they don’t dare
To say, ’Get up!’ and drive 'em on,
Because he's standing there.
"He makes believe to chase, the boys
And shakes his fist, and then
Hp laughs and laughs, and they all come
A-Bcamperlng back again.
"Sometimes he pats me on the head
And says, *Ho, little girl,
You going to wait till Christmas comeB
To cut me oft that curl?’
"And one time when it rained the Btreet
Was muddy, and I cried;
He picked me up and carried me
Right to the other side.
"The nicest man I ever saw,"
Said little Nan to me,
"la the one who stands outside opr school
When we're let out at three.’’

Parts of Germany.
When Major General Samuel B.
M. Young was presented to the kai
ser during his recent visit to Ger
many, Emperor William asked him
if he had ever visited that country
before. “Hot this part,” General
Young is said to have replied. The
emperor then inquired what parts
he had visited, whereupon General
Young said, “I have visited St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.”
The emperor roared with laughter
and took General Young to the em
press, to whom he repeated the wit
ticism.
Our Forests.
While American forests are de
creasing at an alarming rate, Ger
many had in 1900 216,178 acres of
wood more than it had in 1883. Mil
lions of feet of timber might be
saved in this country annually if the
German custom were followed, of
cutting trees about six to twelve
inches from the ground, making
logs a f’.ot or 4;wo longer than they
are here.
Worked Aldrich.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich once re
ceived a pathetic letter in a fem
inine hand announcing the death of
a' little daughter and asking if he
would- not send in His own hand
writing a vqrse or two from “Babie
Bell” to assuage the grief of the
household. Aldrich sent the whole
p.cem and not long after saw it dis
played in the shop of an autograph
dealer with a good, round price at
tached.

Too much housework wrecks wo
men’s nerves. And the constant
care of children, day and night, is
often too trying for oven a strong
woman. A haggard face tells the
story of the overworked housewife
and mother. Deranged menses,
leucorrhcna and falling of the
womb result from overwork.
Every housewife needs a remedy
to regulate her menses and to
1 keep her sensitive female organs
in perfect condition.

American women to-day. It cured
j Mrs. Jones and that is why she
writes this frank letter:
Glendeane, ,Ky., ’Feb. 10,1901.
, I am so glad that your Wine of Cardui
is helping me. I am feeling better than
1 I have felt for years. I am doing my
own work without any help, and I
washed last week and was not one bit
tired. That shows that the Wine is
i doing mo "good. I am getting fleshier
than ! ever was before, and sleep good
I and eat hearty; Before I began taking
Wine of Cardui, I used to have to lay
down -five or six times every day, but
now I ao not think of lying down through
’the day. Mbs, Richabd Jones. -
