f all of coal after raking out all tho dead cin
der and ashes in tln range; never fill jour
stove with coal above tho top of the lining. I
Never uo a i-hakr when it is possiblo to
avoid it; instead, use tho jH.ker freely and you
wiil have a better fire and mo less coal. Shak
ing the lire bride i it down into a solid mass
and the aii; cannot circulate through. When
the fie from iuiy caum becomes dull, do not
stir it over Hie top or put in wood, hut rake
out tho cinders and 0en the drafts. At
night do not close the drafts as soon as tho
coal for the niht is put on, but let it burn a
short time, or, as one man expresses it, "until
you think tho coal is warm all through."
There ia then very bttlo danger of gas, even
if the stove is a poor one. The ashes should
never accumulate in the ash pan until they
rea-h tho grate. If thm happens even once,
the grate w ill usually lie burned out.
Always run tho' range no that you can get
all the he at needed without having tho top
r d hot, as this will warp the covers and
centers, and if a little water should happen
to fail on the Move while o hot, tho top of
tho range is very apt to crack. Keep the
htove well blacked; if the lids get covered
with greaso turn them over and let tho top
of I hu lid conio next the lire until the grease is
all burned olf. If the covers ure red and
the bhi'-kening does not adhere, let them
get wet, so that they will rust a little, and
then black them. When buying a range,
buy one that is moderately heavy and made
of the be.-.t quality of iron. All tho joints of
a healing stove; or range should lit well; bo
on use if they do not, when tho range has
been used a short time you will notice gas
escaping, and will not bo able to tell where it
comes from. Nellie Wiiley In Good House
keeping. Labor Saving Hints.
I write to thank those who kindly sent
directions for removing a teacup that had be
come wedged in a pitcher, l'erhaps it would
bo well to state that before any answer
reached me, I experimented successfully by
holding the pitcher bottom side up over a
steaming teakettle; by tapping smartly on
the bottom of tho pitcher tho cup fell out. I
think that thero is sueh a thing as "honest
dirt," and that thero should never bo such
an amount of trimming of children's clothing
ii3 to keep one always busy making, washiag
and ironing thonj. I have two children, and
I find time to tell and read stories, tako
walks, and even play v ith them out of doors
and swing them sometimes.
1 must tell the readers my method of wash
ing dishes. A tubf ul of clean water is kept
in the kitchen, into which all of tho "sticky"
dishes are dumped bodily and left until their
turn to be washed arrives. The tub ia used
only for this purpose. This saves timo and
labor. In washing "stuck up" kettles I use an
old knife, kept for the purposo, to scrape
them with, and never use my fir.ger nails, as
many people do. Where this is practiced the
i' ger nails aro usually anything but "a thing
of i onuty," and ore a plague instead of "a
joy forever." I have seen finger nails from
this practico broken, worn off square and
blunt enough to "set one's teeth on edge." To
clean bottles easily and quickly, turn a cup
ful of fine shot into them ; fill nearly full of
hot lye and shako well. To have peas look
green after cooking them, put iu cold water
and let them come gradually to a boil. This
is to be done when they are first put on the
stove to, cook. It is convenient to have four
holders to use around the stove. Two of
them can then bo spared for the wash every
week. Dotroit Free Press.
Tlio ATlso Hostess.
A hostess should, of course, exercise a wise
exclusive ness, such as Lady Palmerston de
scrilied when she said she "passed Lord Palm
erston's acquaintances through a coarse
sieve." No woman who entertains should in
vito ber guests carelessly. The very respect
which sho owes to herself and her guests
should prevent this. As a clever woman in
London once said, "I am nover flattered at
being a-'tked to Mrs. J 's camp." No wo
man should allow her house to be degraded
to a camp. One should winnow the chaff
from the wheat.
A !dy in entertaining has to remember
c!wa- : to invite those who are congenial.
No or e in this country can afford to make
liar p -rties either political, musical or liter
ary exclusively; but one should have a gen
eral idea of sets and of their tastes, and of
who would like to meet whom. Especially is
this important at a breakfast or n, dinner,
where the guests must sit and talk for two or
threo hours together; thero ia no such ordeal
of ngreeability. To invite a vaporous, airy,
foolish woman to sit next an Oxford profes
sor, w ho has a specialty on which he wishes
to talk and which sho would not understand,
is to make them both miserable. To ask a
voung poet to sit next an old campaigner,
who has nothing to talk of but the dissection
of character, who Is given to social parboil
in" is to make both miserable and wiil ruin
one' dinner at least. To ask a busy politician
to sit next an abstract philosopher would not
be half as bad. Therefore a woman has
much to consider before 6ho begins to enter
tain. Harper's Bazar.

' People who have sought relief during tho
heated term at the various seaside resorts
which dot the coast of Nov.' Jersey have suf
fered at intervals from a plague of musqui
toes and black gnats. Others, who preferred
the mountains and inland attractions, ave
suffered greatly from contact with poison ivy.
Tho former found a remedy in pennyroyal
ar.d brush fires, but many of the poisoned
ones got no relief. They have not responded
to treatment. As a rule, limo water, butter
milk ar.d oxido of zinc ointment, into which
a little white precipitate has been nibbed,
will effect a cure. This year it seems as
though tho poL-wn has had to run itself out.
A gentleman, however, who after suffering
for t'ii days more torture than usually falls
to 'the lot of man, finally got relief in tho fol
lowing manner: He saturated a slice of
bread with water, and then spread over it a
goodly amount of soda. This plaster he ap
plied to the eruption and kept the application
moist by dropping water upon the bread as
fast as the moisture was absorbed or evapor
ated. This dissolved the soda crystals on the
skin, and gave almost immediate and perma
nent relief. So badly was ho poisoned that at
one time he had on his body twenty-one of
these ijoiiltices. representing three loaves of

The Dress of Children.
As a rule, the higher the position of the
parents, the more simply the children are
dressed this rule holding good as regards the
roval and noble families of England. Uufor
timatelv, our country people have acquired
abroad tho unenviable reputation of loving
vulvar display; but Anglomania has had the
desirable result of inculcating a love of sim
tilioitv Teachers in French and German
i schools have been known to complain bitterly
of the demoralizing effect produced by Amer
' ican girls upon the other pupils. The de
moiselle or Fraulein, as the case may be,
' having been accustomed to the plainest style
of dress and coiffure deemed suitable to her
tender years, is rendered enviou3 and discon
tented by as3x:iation with such free and inde
. pendetit'yoimS women clad in silk attire, as a
! school costume, with diamond earrings flash-
ing ia their ears and their fingers loaded
j with rings. Wbiio there will always be, iu
every community, a select rew wno win

wher rich garments would make tbmu uoo

they aro testifying to their wealth with tho

"Finish every dy and m done with it.
For manners and for wise living it is a vice
to rememlier. You have done what you
could; some blunders and absurdities no
doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you
can. To-morrow is a new day; you shall be
gin it well and serenely, and w ith too high a
spirit to bo cumbered with your old nonsense.
This day for all that is good and fair. It is
too dear, with iu hocs and invitations, to
waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays."

t.irllsh Figures Spoiled by Athletics.
It is tho athletic gill, the new type of girl
who goes in for pretty nearly all the sports
her brother takes up, who is, if she has pre
viously cultivated her figuro, the worst do
formed girl of all. There is nothing like
athletics and corstts, mixed or in altorni-.te
tloses, to bring out the possibilities of curves,
tw-istd and abnormal developments in a mod
ern girl. All British femininity is at present
engaged in screaming contradictions ut La
bouchere because he had tho hardihood to de
clare that tennis playing girls were crooked.
In a half dozon groups at Central park tho
other day I picked out four players whose
right shoulders were noticeably of different
shapo from the left, and six or seven in whom
the same thing, though less obvious, hud
begun to manifest itself, the summer exertion
enlarging the muscles and light clothing
thrusting them out of place and accentuating
the uneven development of the body. Girls
who row in corsets are a curious sight, the
extra muscular development all taking place
high up, whero the blood has a chanco to cir
culat?, and making the shoulders tower above
the ret of tho body. Chicago Herald.
A Troubleiioiiio Form of Ilenuty.
Mrs. Reformer Jenuess-Miller'a latest ol
joctive point is the bustle. In her magazine,
Dress, she comments on the amusing alacrity
with which women fly to the defense of tho
bustle whenever that highly ornumental and
pestiferously obtrusive article of dress is
assailed. She quite overlooks tho most gro
tesque phase of the bustle question; that is
the constant solicitude of the average wearer
when on the street. Bhiglo out any well
dressed woman you happen to meet on
promenade, cud ten to one, if you-follow her,
j-ou will observe that about ouco m every
block of her walk she will give her bustle a
flip, furtive or bold, according to her dis
position. No woman is ever certain ten
minutes at a stretch that her bustlo is iu the
regulatiou state of discipline, hence her miud
is forever on tho rack. Detroit l-ree i ress.
Prevention of Wrinkles.
Evidently quite a number of us aro grow

Ls. of course, lack of caro and absolute hard

When they are just beginning to be baio
wrinkles, sort of baby wrinkles, tho old
Creolo recipe ia really of some use. This is

At the Qneen's Fountain.
Near Invermark, on Lord Dalhousie's es
tate, a fountain was some years ago erected
to commemorate a visit paid to the place by
tho queen. It bears this inscription, in gold
letters: "Rest, stranger, on this lovely scene,
aud drink and pray for Scotland's queen
Victoria." A Highlander was shocked ono
morning to read the following addenda,
traced in a bold hand, suggestive of the Lon
don tourist, immediately underneath the
original: "We'll pray for Queen Victoria
h -re. but go and drink her hea.th in beer."
