such importance that that occupied
by the woman suffragist is insignif

work in this field were well done,
there would be no suffrage question to
worry us; it would havo settled itself
to the satisfaction of all.
There are many thoughtful women
who, realizing this, take up the suf

regard it as much better than ndth

is frittered away, because the work is
not on a proper foundation. 'Indirect

especially a mother cannot learn too
soon and too thoroughly that she owes
a duty to herself, and at the same
time to her- family, and that duty is to
conserve her own energies and look
after her own comfort A household,
in which all the members; great and
small, share alike, according to their
ability, in tho necessary work, is al
ways a more cheerful, attractive one
than that in which the one-slave meth
od prevails. Let this truth be learned
the husband and children will love
the mother more if she requires and
accepts from them fc a reasonable
amount of assistance in the dally
routine of the home and housekeep
ing. Whatever else she may be, a
wife and mother must be the ruling
oxponent of the peace and happiness
of the home; she has no sort of right
to deprive her family of her intelli
gent, patient guidance and oversight.
In short, she must be more than aA
servant.

It is "a mistake to assume that, in
giving women the ballot, wo shall
find a cure for every ill, and tho en

Anno. Canned salmon is nice
heated and laid on thin slices of toast
with a cream sauce poured over all.
It is good scalloped, or made into
croquettes.
Mrs. B. French slaw is made by
adding -a teaspoonful of mustard and

cold slaw.
Samatha. Red carpets, while pret

Lorry. For the spots made on the
window-glass by rain, dissolve a five
cent box of lye in a half gallon of
rain water; make a sort of mop by
fastening a rag on a short stick, wet
the cloth and with it wash the glass,
drying it immediately with another
clean, dry cloth and polishing with
crumpled paper; if not wiped dry im
mediately, the glass will dry streaked.
Do not allow the lye to touch the
woodwork or your hands.
Tired Housewife. A housewife, who
is "working housekeeper" as well,
does not generally need more physical
exercise, but she does not get enough
oxygen and ozone, from being con
fined indoors too much. She needs
to get out in the open air as much as
she can, and to keep her rooms ven
tilated, and the indoors atmosphere
purified,
S M. Salmon oil contains a gluey
substance that will not yield to gaso
line. Make a cleaning fluid for tho
serge dress as follows: Mix one-fourth
ounce each of carbonate of ammonia,
fluid- chloroform and sulphuric ether
with, one quart of distilled benzine.
Pour a little of this in a saucer, and,
with a soft spongo or picco of tho
dress goods, apply It to the stain
made by tho salmon oil; if tho Btaln
is of long standing, you may havo to
apply tho fluid several times before It
will disappear. This fluid is highly in
flammablo, and must not bo used in a
room where there is a spark of flro or
a light.
Ollio D. Curtains may bo given a
beautiful creamy tint in this manner:
Dissolve a little ochre in the rinse
water (tho quantity of ochre to bo de
termined by the shado of color do
sired), stir thoroughly, and, after
wosning mo curtains in tho usual
manner, dip them in tho rinse water,
being particular to wet cvety part at
the same time, or tho color will bo un
even. It is safer to test the color by
putting a little ochre In the water,
stirring well, and dinnlnK a small
piece of 'cloth into it; if not dark
enough, add moro ochre; If too dark,
add more water, until the right tint
is obtained. The tint does not entire
ly wash out with one washing.
Constant Reader. A nice rug is
made of rags, sewed as for weaving,
by winding the rags in and out around
a largo wire, bent liko a hairpin, and
then stitching with tho sewing ma
chine through the middle to fasten it
to a foundation, which may bo of
burlap, gunny-bag, or other material.
This work is similar to the work done
by the Pearl rugmaker. Two of the
wire holders are needed, as the first
one must remain In the loops until
the second one Is pressed close to It
and the work stitched; then remove
the first one and refill with rags. Cut
the loops open when the wire Is pulled
out, and after the foundation is cov
ered, shear tho whole to make It even.
It may be made "hit and miss," or in
stripes.
Inquirer. A man or woman should,
before marriage, be able to pass as
thorough a physical examination as
he or she would be obliged to in or
der to take out a life Insurance pol
icy, for no one who is physically dis
eased should assume the responsibil
ity of bringing other lives into the
world. There Is the theory. And It
might be added that each of them
should have the disposition of an an
gel and the patience of a Job, and, in
case one of them should die before
the children were or an age to care
for themselves, the one who remained
should be fully competent to rear the
family In the comforts and with the
advantages necessary to make of them
perfect members of society. Then
would come tho Millenium.

Iaexpenslva Bed-Slipper.
From eiderdown flannel cut two
parts of white for the Inside and two
parts of any pretty color for tho out
side; the too should be pointed, the
seam straight through the middle both
above and below the foot, and a turn
over of two inches allowed. Sew the
two halves of the lining together, then
the two halves of the outside; slip
the lining in with seams towards the
outside, and bind the edges with rib
bon the color of the outside; turn the
top down and finish with a bow of
ribbon. These are really very useful.
A pretty way to fashion knitted
bedroom slippers Is in imitation of
ermine. Set thirty stitches, plain
garter stitch; knit a square of white
for tho too, continue in color long
enough to sew around tho sole.
Choose pointed-toed soles and sew
tight enough at the too to give the
point an upward turn. Set separately
18 stitches of white, and knit as long
as the color; dot the white squares
and the white stripes with long black
stitches, two parallel and a third of
an inch long to look like ermine tails.
Crochet a beading of color after sew
ing to soles with the ermine square
at the pointed toe, sew tho ermine
strips to turn down from the top, run
a black or colored ribbon In the bead
ing, and this- will finish thfera.
