VELVET DRESS FOR MISSES.

York city.
Care of Mouth and Throat
Avoid a sore throat It's the forerun
ner of many ills. One who develops
the sore throat habit pays the price
later in life in rheumatism, appendici
tis and many other diseases. A good
atomizer and a soothing oil spray are
splendid investments. Various throat
specialists recommend their use after
a dusty drive, after being in a crowd,
as at church or school, er when there
is the slightest indication of inflamma
tion. Put the nozzle of the atomizer
between the tightly closed Hps, breathe
in while pressing the bulb, keep the
lips closed and breathe out through the
nose. This method makes the spray
reach many small passages that would
not otherwise be reached.
Quilts and Comforters
Qulltmaklng time is here. Try this
method this winter: Use a good quali
ty of material for the covering, one
that will not wear out in many years;
save a piece to baste over the end of
the comforter to be taken off and
washed when soiled. Use well washed
and teased wool for filling instead of
cotton. Wool costs twice as much, but
gives five times the warmth and wears
practically forever. Make some of
the comforters of fine feathers. If
you dampen the feathers a little they
are easily handled. Put th£ down filled
comforter ou£ on the line in the shade
on a windy day and it will fluff up
again.
The Sickroom
In case of sickness the patient's room
should have in it only the necessary
pieces of furniture—bed, one chair and
table—no carpets and no draperies. It
can then be easily kept clean and sani
tary. Scrubbing should take the place
of sweeping, and the dusting should be
done with a cloth wrung out of a disin
fectant solution. Care used in the sick
room and about the things used by the
patient will have much to do with
checking the spread of disease.
THOUGHTS.
» In the supremacy of self con
• trol consists one of the perfec
tions of the ideal man^—Herbert
> Spencer.
There is a purity which only
suffering can impart The stream
of life becomes snow white when
it dashes against the rocks.—
Richter.
Let your speech be always
with grace, seasoned with salt—
St Paul.
The lion is not so fierce as
» painted.—Thomas Fuller.
READING HISTORY.
The One Way to Acquire a Real Knowf*
edge of the Work).
Henry James once told ine that the
only reading of which he never tired
was history. "The least significant
footnote of history," he said, "stirs me
more than the most thrilling and pas
sionate fiction. Nothing that has ever
happened to the world finds me indif
ferent."
I used to think that Ignorance of his
tory meant only a lack of cultivation
and a loss of pleasure. New I am sure
that such ignorance Impairs our Judg
ment by impairing our understanding,
by depriving us of standards, of tbo
power to contrast and the rlg^t to esti
mate. We can know nothing of any
nation unless we know Its history, and
we can know nothing of the history of
any nation unless we know something
of the history of all nations.
The book of the world Is full of
knowledge we need to acquire, of les
sons we need to learn, of wisdom we
need to assimilate. Consider only this
brief sentence of Polyblus, quoted by
Plutarch, "In Carthage no one Is blam
ed however he may have gained his
wealth." A pleasant place, no doubt,
for business enterprise, a place where
young men were taught how to get on
and extrrtVaganee kept pace with
shrewd finance; a self satisfied, self
confident, money getting, money loving
people, honoring success and hugging
Its fancied security, while In faroff
Rome Cato pronounced its doom.—
Agnes Repplier in Atlantic Monthly.
THE SCARLET TANAGER.
He Wears His Gaudy Fireman's Suit
Only In the Summer.
The country folk call the scarlet tan
ager the firebird. His feathers set the
woods on fire. Reversing the figure,
thfi. firebird puts out the torch of jthe
sumac and pales the plumage of the
oriole that has come to fly "in tropic
splendor through our northern sky."
This tanager of ours Is not much of a
songster. He does not have to be. All
he has to do is "stand on" in the show
in order to share applause with the
gold tongued wood thrush and the mel
low noted meadow lark. Seemingly
the tanager thinks that his call is to be
preferred to his song, for he calls forty
times where he sings once. The tip of
a tree gives him the best stage setting
for his beauty, and there he perches,
looks the sun in the eye and chip
churs by the hour. His mate la a
modestly garbed female, who is willing
to attend to home duties while Beau
Brummel gallivants abroad.
It Is only for a season that the tana
ger wears his fireman suit Nature's
rule that he must change his clothes
when September Is spent may seem
foolish to him, but he obeys to the
feather. In dun and drab he goes
south, where he tells an unbelieving
and brilliantly plumaged company of
tropic birds of the wonder of his sum
mer dress.—Chicago Post
The Day of the Carver.
Carving was once a serious thing.
The sixteenth century carver was a
professional. He had to make the
joint fit the guest The size of his
slices was the thing. Then he had to
know his guests and cut accordingly.
A lord, for instance, at the table, and
a pike was dished up whole. Smaller
fry, and the pike came on in slices.
The same procedure with pig. The
rank of the diners decided whether it
should appear at table In gold leaf or
naked, whole or sliced. With bread,
too, there was a difference. Ne^ or
three days old baked was at the dis
cretion of the carver as he sized up the
visitors. And as for the apportioning'
of the titbits according to precedence
there was no end. The old time carver,
in fact, was born and then made.—
London Standard.
Difficult Feat.
Two boys stood in front of the en
trance gate of a football field. They
had no money, but they were deter
mined to outwit the gatekeeper some
how and get in and see the game.
They suggested scheme after scheme
to one another, and finally the older
boy said:
"I got it now! We'll walk in back
ward, and he'll think we're comin'
out."—Exchange.
Not Catching.
Mrs. Nouveau Itlehe—Willie, I don't
want to see you play -with the Slings
by-Smythe's dog again. Willie Ditto
Why not, ma? Mrs. N. R.—The dog
is pedigreed, they say, and there's no
telling when it may have another fit of
them.—New York Globe.
His Suspicion Confirmed.
How interesting the financial columns
in the morning papers can be to the
traveled reader! For instance, here's a
market report that says "butter was
strong." This confirms an impression
formed at a boarding house recently.—
London Ideas.
Feminine Intuition.
"I thought you were going to send
that hat back, Maude. What induced
you to keep it?"
"Every girl I know was careful to'
tell me, as soon as she saw It on me,
how unbecoming it was."—Baltimore
American.
On the Line. ,
"Ton say you have spent hours over
a single line?"
"Yes; and sometimes days."
"Then you're a poet?"
"No; I'm an angler."
Unueual Behavior.
Lerret—You look worried, old chap.
Jadilloh—Yes; I'm afraid my wife Is
sick. She stayed at home all yester
, day afternoon.—Life.
