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.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES. ■ *» 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.’’ —St. Nicholas. 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.

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.

Every housewife needs a remedy to regulate her menses and to 1 keep her sensitive female organs in perfect condition. iWrhi° f cARpyi is doing this for thousands of American women to-day.
