Eaperta In household arts assert women .
are more economical In tha purchase of
all the necessities of life, and therefore
melt should,' not audit the household bills.
Benjamin H.. Andrews, fh. D secretary
of Industrial and Household Arts of Teach
ers'' college' says:' ' " ' '
"Women are tha managers of .tha home,
and . as ' suolr-' their judgment must be
trusted,' as they have learned their lessons
In housekeeping and are. capable Of giving
tha best benefit of their- experience, where,
as men would have to start at the begin
ning and follow every detail carefully be
fore they would be qualified for - any ex
pression as to the correct coat of living."
' Prof. Andrews adds that home making
is now -a systematized fact, that wives
are growing more and more to appreciate
the value of money spent for living ex.
penses, a up that tha markstlng and ar
ranging of a menu Is done much less ex
travagantly than it would be by men.
It is rather hard on a man who assumes
a "show-me" attitude when the monthly
bills come In, and quite as trying for the
woman who feels aha has done the best
she could, says Theodora Bean In the
New Tork Telegram.
In order to make such a man know tha
to a Lady Cat
who heard her that along -with th cat
qualities of treachery and meanness gen
erally, she has also th nine lives. For the
malicious evil of each on may be awarded
a particular hell. Nln very hat ones! No
body but the governor of th regions named
could ever beat he.r at her own wicked de
vice. May he beat her hard!

much a man snoops about the kitchen and
asks what has become of the sack of flour
and tha jar of butter. The woman will
know, and that's enough. . .
"Instinctively, the majority of women
are economical," said Miss Florence K.
Corbett, an author on dietaries, and In
structor of household arts. "And home
Is their natural province. In aur plasses
we have a great number of young and
older married women who are trying to

Oiled Paper of Japan
Th Japanese umbrella Is mostly made
with an oil-paper covering, which turns
th water well for some time. In appear
ance thes umbrellas resemble the toy
paper ones sold In this country, except that
the various tinted covers are treated to a
coating ' of vegetable oil, - which renders
them waterproof. ' c "
Th oil la seoured from a seed of a cer
tain plant, and th natives hav established
quite an industry in extracting It. About a
bushel of seed is required to make a gallon
of the highly prised oil. i -
Th paper coverings of the umbrellas are
given a coating of th fluid and then al
lowed to remain in th sun to harden' th
coating.
Lanterns and window panes ar mads
from oiled paper, and ar extensively used.
Rickshas and wagons us th paper lan
terns, and many .band lanterns are also
oovered with th same material.
Most natives use th oiled paper In their
home as windows.

Natural Measures
J
' The first ''natural measurement" to
which the memory naturally recurs Is the
hand, four inches, employed in determin
ing the height of horses. This measure is,
of. course, .derived from the breadth of the
palm, and It has become so well fixed in
popular estoehr that It is unlikely it will
ever be superseded.
Another popular natural measure is the
pace, and -probably everyone who has had
to. do with land has used It. The usual
method Is to stride off, taking as long

A natural- measure much employed by a
dressmaker Is the yard as determined by'
stretching the material . to b - measured
between her chin and her outstretched
hand. Or, If It be a matter of Inches, shs
will fold tha bended upper Joint of her
thumb along the cloth. These natural meas
ures are generally close enough to serve
all practical purposes. '- ;.-
