There Is no objection to a protty kitchen or to a girl tilling one up with bric-a-brac If she keeps It free from dust. A kitchen to those who do the work In It Is the living room, and why should It not be made convenient and pretty? If the kitchen Is a comfortable, cheery room most girls will take a pride In keeping it so. Give them nice paper for the shelves if they ?jvlsh It and a fancy lump shade to rest by aft er the kitchen is tidied up for the Right. See. too, that they have conven ient utensils to cook with, a good clothes wringer and plenty of clothes pins and a good stove. It will pay you well to look after these things In the good, wholesome dishes that will come mi to the table well cooked. Many girls have to do with make shifts tliat you would not thtuk possi ble for yourself to use?a broken wringer, a tub without bundles or a wash I siller or teakettle wtth a rug run through a hole to prevent leaking. No girl likes to ask for repairs, and oftentimes the mistress Is too careless to look well after the little thlugs for her kitchen. Also let the girl's sleeping room lie a pleasant, attractive place. Many a horse has better quarters for rest than servants have. Look well to the comfort of the servants. If not ap preciative at first they may learn to be so.?New York Journal. YOUR MOUTH. Teach if to Smile and Keep Vwn| the Cynical Lines. It Is Ruskln who points out that In the human race alone the mooGi Is a mark of beauty and may be made to convey a groat dead of expression even though the tips are silent. , The curve of a woman's tips, can ex press. oh, so much! There Is the proud mouth, the cynical month, the sensual mouth, the cruel mouth. Lips that tremble can tell more of grief than many a spoken wcnL I dps that smile can illuminate a wtwte household. As a mode of expression the mouth has ever been a telling factor. As a mark of beauty the mouth can be cul tivated. It needs no beauty doctor's art to train it to pleasant linos. Teach it to smile. Refuse to let It settle Into hard, cynical lines. Give it the uplift and serenity that speak more plainly than words of pence anil strength, says Home Chat. By deliberate training the mouth can he maile one of the most telling. moojP at tractive, features of a personality. LAUNDRY LINES. Cold rain water ami soap will re move machine grease. If clothes are hung on the line neatly and smoothly much Uit>or will be saved when the time for Ironing comes. Two potatoes grated In a basin of warm water will give better results than soap in washing delicate flannel or woolen goods, ribbons, etc. If hooks and eyes have rusted white goods, put the garment Into water in which has been dissolved a ltttle cream of tartar and boil for a few minutes. Beeswax and salt will make rusty flatlrons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax In a rag. When the , Irons are hot rub them first with the wax rag. then scour with a cloth sprin kled with salt. When washing black stockings take care that fresh water be used, both for washing and rinsing, and thus avoid having the stockings covered with lint, which Is sometimes the case when they are washed In the same water used for white clothes. The '?TemperoiuentM Eicoie. Sometimes you hear a woman offer as an excuse for her faults, "It Is my temperament." Do you not know that I the perversions of a tempennent are not the temperament Itself? There never was a temperament that had not Its good as well as Its evil possibilities. The truth Is that we inherit our tern perameut with its natural perversions, and It is our business In life to shake off the perversions in order that we may And the veritable temperament itself and that it may carry us on truly to the best work that such a tempera ment can do. If all who have excused themselves for selfishness and.evil be cause of the "urtistic temperament" had recognized that they were really excusing the perversions of their tem perament and not the temperament It self much needless pain and sorrow might have been avoided. ?American Magazine. Dull Furniture. Furniture becomes dull not necessa rily front wear and tear, but from tho action of gases which are in the air at all times. This dullness as well as scratches, bruises and like si>ots may be done away with. After washing and drying take linseed oil and turpen tine in equal parts, mix thoroughly and apply very sparingly on a soft rag, rubbing the spots or one section at a time until the original color Is restored, after which you must i?e sure to wipe off with another entirely clean rag, for If the turpentine and oil be allowed to remain they will amalgamate with the varnish and end In blotches. Borax. Borax must l>e used sparingly as a water softening agent. It is extremely drying. QCiite the most delightful beautiller for the purpose of softening the bathing water Is lavender lotion. If you use 't oivce you will feel that you must always have It. The formula Is most simple: Four ounces of nlcohol, one-half ounce of ammonia, one drnrm of oil of lavender. The alcohol di lutes the ammonia and makes It saf? to use, while the lavender gives a mo?t delicious fragrance to the bath. Personal and Pertinent.

Winston Spencer Churchill, the parliamentary secretary of the British colonial ottice, is going to the West Indies, aboutCbrist mas, to study the resources of the islands, especially the pros pects of extending cotton grow ing with the view of possible government aid.

When the Ziegler-Baldwin expe dition was sent out, he was sec ond in command of it. Mr. Fiala was a chemist, photographer and engraver before he became an ex plorer. I)r. Rosen, former Minister to Morocco, having visited Adis Ababa, Abyssinia, where he went as special envoy of Germany to King Menelek, reports that king dom as being in a feudal condi tion, the King being the head of both church and state. He re ports the monarch as being in tellectual and mild, of a concilia tory disposition, supported by occasional severity. The King is true to his word and the feudal chieftains are compelled to obey him. He claims to be descended from Solomon aud the Queen of Sheba.
