2 The Queen's Maids.
_The Queen demands of her maids
that they shal be musical, neat in
their attire and eschew picture hats!
Otherwise, she is very easy-going with
them, and in the kindest way minis
ters to their pleasure whenever it is
possible. A maid of honor no longer

. Love.
There has been a good deal written
about dorman mother-love, but the
fact that there is a sentiment as fa
ther-love seems to have kept ‘well in
the background. Masculine America
flies from sentiment or from the
avowal of sentiment as from a plague
or the confession of a crime.
Yet it would be a poor country that
confined its sentiment to its women.
The natural emotions are the inher
itance of both sexes, even if it is but
one which has the courage to confess
them.—Delineator.
' Built Her Own Summer Cottage.
Miss Josephine Louise Reynolds, of
Hull, a telephone girl, has demon
strated that one woman, at least, can
drive a nail straight and saw a board
.vertically and to the line.
She drew the plan of a small sum
mer cottage and with her owns.hands,
fearless of callous and splinter, con
structed it, the workmanship being
good in every detail from foundation
to rooftree.
With her own hands Miss Reynolds
will paint, decorate and furnish the
cottage, the accommodations being
for living, cooking and sleeping.
When it is completed some time dur
ing the latter part of this week she
and her sister Grace will occupy it for
the summer.—Boston Globe.

Whippingham, on the Isle of

is, in fact, a whole station staff, for
she does everything but remove the
baggage to and from trains. The sig

trains, ticket selling, lamp lighting

duties, and besides she finds time to
attend to the station garden. The
place is no sinecure, either, for the

Dress For Business.
Anna Steese Richardson talks to
business girls in the Woman’s Home
Companion on the importance of good
taste in dress.
Said a Frenchman to Mrs. Richard
son not long ago, as they sauntered
through a model department store:
“Your working girls—they "are
wonderful. See, they are ladies!
Such well-kept hands, such beautiful
1y coifed heads, such smart shoes!
They must spend much time to make
themselves ready for work. Nowhere |
else in the world will you see such |
girls earning their living.” |
“The self-supporting women in
‘America have won an enviable repu
tation for good taste in dress,” says
the writer. “Not even in Paris, where
every woman is supposed to be chic
and to have an ‘air,” do the self-sup-‘
porting girls bear the stamp of gen
tility in clothes that you can note inl
any large city or factory town in the
United States.” =
Pretty Hands an Added Charm.
The matter of keeping the hands
young and pretty is one that every
iwoman should consider seriousiy, and
.before the time that it is really neces
sary for her to do so, says the Delin
eator. The hands begin to age at
thirty, and there is no greater telltale
of a woman’s age than hands not
properly cared for.
The woman whose hands are short
and thick, whose nails look as if they
had been chopped off with a coupon
clipper, has much to contend with.
She arouses antagonism the moment
any one looks at her hands. With
out well-groomed hands a woman lsl
unclassed; she can not possibly im
press one as being refined. And, after ‘
all, well-groomed hands are merely|
a question of care. |
Women nowadays are beginning to |
redlize that pretty hands are second
only in charm to a pretty face; a
pretty hand is not fat and pudgy, as
80 many people think, nor is it neces- |
sarily dimpled. |
Whether the skin be white or
tanned to a deep brown by the raysl
of the sun, it must be smooth and firm
and well cared for. Even a bony
hand, under these conditions, is at
tractive to look at, and ten minutes
devoted each day to the care of the!
hands and nails will reap a rich re
ward,—New Haven Register. . i
| The Wrong Dope.
An Atchison bride is worried to
death. She has been reading up for
several months in the women’s col
umns of the papers how to keep a
husband's love, .and. in all of them
has found . the .same advice: “Be
your husband's constant companion.
When he comes home saying he is go
ing on a trip, have a handsome tailor
made costume all ready, some fresh
shirt waists and a little traveling bag
packed ready “o accompany him.
Look at him with a winning smile and
say sweetly: ‘Take me, dear.’ He
will, and soon will not know how to
go without you,” ete., etec. The
bride’s husband is a traveling man,
but every time her nusband has left
for his territory she has carried out
the plan offered by the women’s col
umns in the papers. He took her
once or twice and she was nearly
dead trying to keep up with him.
Yesterday, when the bridegroom
started for his trip, the bride ap
peared with her tailor-made suit, her
little traveling bag and her winning
smile. - Her husband looked at her
and said: “Great heavens, are you
crazy? 1f you are going to keep this
up, I shall feel like putting you in an
asylum,” and then he left the house,
without kissing her goodby, slam
ming the door after him.—Atchison
Globe.
Granny Caps Worn by Girls.
Tiny “great-grandmother” caps
have been adopted by the “river girl”
in England. A beauty specialist who
has been threatening the modern
woman with baldness is responsible
for this fashion. “There is no doubt,”
she says, “that the river is responsible
for scanty and dull colored hair. The
‘river girl’ puts on her hat directly
the day begins and spends eight hours
out of twelve in her boat. All this
time her long-suffering hair is lacking
the sunshine and fresh air it requires.
It is a most criminal thing to keep
the head covered up all day in the
summer months, and the ‘river girl’
is undoubtedly the chief offender in
this respeci. The little caps exactly
meet the difficulty. They are pretty
trifies of lace, muslin or ‘embroidery
and can be threaded with baby ribbon,
They are made in the design of a little
Dutch ecap, and many of my clients
who have houses on the river have
picked up designs made of antigue
needlework in Holland. The ‘river
girl’ puts on a hat when she is in the
full glare of the sun, but she is ready
to remove it when she reaches a cool,
shady place. Her difficulty then is
her carefully arranged curls will be
disarranged. The ‘great-granny cap’
fits under the hat, and a girl in a
white muslin dress makes a charming
picture when she pulls out her hat
pins and discloses the bit of lace on
the top of her orderly curls.”—New
York Press. -

The chief interest in the old syna

preached in it. They had been driven
out of Antioch and reached Iconium
footsore and weary. We read in Acts
14:1 that they both went into the
synagogue and preached, and that
many believed their teaching. At
last, however, they were forced to
leave Iconium. In his Epistle to
Timothy (11. Tim. 3:11) Paul refers
to his persecutions there, :

Reading in Bed.
~ Reading in bed, like most luxuries,
can be overdone, in fact, there seems
% be only one excuse for this fascinat
'ing way: of ending the day. Certain
'people find that their worries accumu
late in their brains after bedtime;
their nerves are at high tension and
._eii‘ minds are actively at work try
ing to solve problems that should
'have been left behind in the city.
~ Going to bed with the brain in such
la state means that with nothing to
distract the thoughts, hearing noth
(ing and seeing nothing in the dark
[ness, imagination has full sway, and
‘hours of wakefulness may be the re
'sult. Such a man, we think, will
(find half an hour’s reading in bed a
lgreat help.
| With careful attention paid to the
‘quality and position of the light so
‘that without flickering, it shines over
‘the shoulder and directly on to the
page, the much maligned habit of
ireading in bed has sometimes a very
‘beneficial effect on a tired and over
. orked brain.—Family Doctor.

He Spread Himself,
By CHARLES C. MULLIN.
“My father was a burglar,” im
parted the house-thief to his com
panion as they leisurely went about
ransacking the house they bad en
tered and found “ripe.” “But he
was different from the ordinary run
of that craft—he was so terribly am
bitious! In fact, it was his nervous
desire to go ahead and clean up a
job that abruptly ended his promis
ing career as a high burglar.”
‘‘How was that?” asked the com
panion, scraping some spoons to
gether on a sheet. .
‘“Well, it was this way. One night,
all alone (father wanted all the glory
and swag there might be in a job),
he slunk out of the house in his
gummed shoes and hurried straight
to the town bank. Once inside, he
drew forth his dynamite, mufflers and
tools and set to work drilling into
tie vault. Father always made a
hole bigger than suited the ordinary
cracksman, so he drilled a regular
cave and filled it with ten times the
ordinary bulk of dynamite. Then
he applied the mufflers, attached his
fuse, lit it, and sprung back into a
distant corner of the bank to wait.
“After crouching there for what
his nervous temperament judge® to
be sufficient time and nothing doing,
father began to curse that fuse for
being a dead one. He crawled back
toward the loaded vault door, and
had nearly reached it, when the
charge went off—— What's the
matter?”
“I thought I heard a door creak
below.”
‘“That's the wind. Well, the re
sult of that explosion was more
sweeping than father had calculated,”
resumed the narrator, flopping a bu
reau drawer onto the floor downeide
up. ‘“‘For the jar tore that vault
door from its casing and sent it
crashing through the street-wall.
This alarmed the watchman, who
rushed away for the police. The
police, in turn, rushed into the bank,
and at a glance saw that it was a
wreck. Father, you see, Ladn’t had
a chance to escape—he was still in
the bank. Of course the cops got
him. It was his last job.”
“Couldn’t he find a hiding-place
till they'd gone?”
““Yes; but, as I said before, father
was different from the ordinary craft.
Where one might be satisfied with
hudding under a partially collapsed
wall, or squeezing himself through
the hole torn into the heating appara
tus, or even winding himself up in
the twisted pliant cashier's cage,
father was different.”
“Where did they get him, then?”
“In all three places.,”—From
Judge.

Telling the Fortunes of Monkeys.
~ Monkey palmistry is a profession
‘fiifi by Dr. Imw .-;sf.tE;~tl;xes:
‘markable spetific variations displayed
by the fine raised lines in the tactile
surfaces of the hands and feets of
apes, monkeys and lemurs. The ex
treme complexity of type presented
in this respect by the lemurs is es
pecially notable. The ridges in the
palm attain their full and typical
development only in man, apes, mon
keys and lemurs, but the degree of
specialization does not by any means
accord with the relative grade of
these animals in the zoological scale.
The simple pattern is characterization
of the higher forms, and the complex
pattern is characteristic of the lower
forms. The complex ridges of the
lemur br. Kidd associates with this
animal’s need for facility in maintain
ing the bodily equilibrium in crea
tures of purely nocturnal habits.
Therefore the ridges are gpecially de
veloped for helping to do this.—New

Would Climb the Gate.
Attorney-General Moody was once
riding on the platform of a Boston
street car, standing next to the gate
that protected passengers from cars
coming on the other track. A Boston
lady came to the door of the car, says
the Popular Magazine, and, as it
stopped, started toward the gate,
which was hidden from her by the
men standing before it.
“Other side, please, lady,” said the
conductor,
He was ignored as only a horn-and
bred Bostonian can ignore a man.
The lady took another step toward
the gate.
“I must get off on this side,” came
the answer in tones that congealed
that official into momentary silence.
Before he could explain or expostu
late, Mr. Moody came to his assist
ance. .
“Stand to one side, gentlemen,” he
remarked quietly. “The lady wishes
to climb over the gate.”—New York
Journal.

responded the man, throwing a

- Make Milk Safe.
Scientific investigatiomns have proved
that milk in a raw state should never
be given to children. Those who can
not buy pasteurized milk should pas
teurize it at home. - This can be done
by observing these simple directions:
I—Bring the milk slowly to a boil,
and when it reaches the boiling point
bottle it instantly, cork tightly and
cool it.
2—Never feed milk that is more
than twenty-four.hours old to an in
fant,
3—Keep the milk near ice, and
never leave a milk bottle uncorked.
4—Cleanse and scald all bottles be
fore refilling. >
Careful observance of these direc
tiong will insure against babies con
tracting diseases from impure milk.
