HOW TO CURE WTTH MUSIC.
lnvellfltort Find Certain Tunei Dene,
fit the Sick.
r.lstpn, you men of medicine, mid give
t-i'd, von women who wait iintl wntch
within the hospital wnrds and In the
nil krooms of our home.
Hero Is n creed Hint Is new. yet
old, Hint has nt Its back the fervent
fnlth of n prent theologian mid thinker
nnd the practical Indorsement of hard
hended physicians.
It Is the science of ItenlliiR hy music.
Serious continuous experiments nro bo
iiiK mndo liy men whoso sincerity nnd
scientific nttnlnments nro nbovo ques
tion, nnd they assort Hint the results
nlrendy nttnlned Imvo astonished tho
most sanpulno nmoiiR them.
Tho tests lmve been nnd nro hclnp
mndo In tho Snmnrltnn hospltnl, Rroad
nnd Ontario streets, I'lillndclphln, un
der the direct supervision of tho presi
dent of Hint Institution, the Iter. Dr.
Russell II. Conwcll, famous throughout
America for tho brendth nnd force of
I1I3 opinions nnd tho eloquence with
-which he enunclntes them from pulpit
jind lecture platform. They aro fully
verified In nil their detnlls by Dr. Wil
Jinm Ilnrhnlen nnd tho other physl
Ians nnd surgeons comprising tho stuff
of tho Snmarltnn hospltnl.
Thcso hion nnd tho nurses who hnvo
aided In making nil tho observations
unlto In testifying to the bcnellclnl ef
fect upon tho temperature nnd pulsa
tions of their patients of certain mu
sical nlrs nnd tho evil nnd depressing
jnflucnco of other tunes.
They found that tho old rich melody
of tho hymn "I Know Thnt My Re
deemer Llvcth" brought patients forth
from tho tranco of anaesthesia with
nono of tho nnusea nnd feverish symp
toms that usually nttend nn awaken
ing. They further found thnt fever was
nbntcd nnd restlessness reduced by
thnt flno old song "Flow Gently, Sweet
Afton," thnt "DIxlo" calmed n pntlcnt
who hnd delirium nnd thnt "Juniata,"
"The Lnst Roso of Summer" nnd n
number of other soft phrased melodies
sent pnln racked Invalids into soothing,
bcnllng slumber.
In tho courso of tho experimentation
Dr. Conwcll nnd tho physicians discov
ered thnt n number of songs produced
Injurious effects upon tho patients.
Among thcso disturbing tunes wcro
many hymns. "Abldo With Mc." "Pie
ycllo's Hymn," "Heboid n Stranger at
tho Door" nnd "In tho Hour of Trlnl"
wcro distinctly unfavornblo In their re
sults. "Hen Holt," "Tho Stnr Spnngled
Ranner" nnd the dead mntch from
"Saul" produced tho worst effects of
all tho tunes.
CLEANING WITH MILK.
How to Uio tho Leftover Contents of
the Pitcher.
It .seems cruel Irony to clean Iioiiho'i
with milk when it Is so high even for
thoso who wish to drink It, but sour
nnd skim milk nnd buttermilk nro Just
ns good for this purpose, so It Is not so
cxpcnslvo us It sounds.
Ruttorinllk Is tho best possible thing
to clean linoleum nnd oilcloth. Just
mop It up with n soft cloth nnd wntch
the dirt taken off by tho application.
About onco u week is often enough
for tho cleaning.
Kltlier skim or sour milk will mnko
rubber plants grow. Wnsh tho leaves
with n soft cloth In milk and water,
sponging ench off carefully Insldo and
out and pouring the remainder of your
basin into tho ground of tho tub. Tho
plant grows nnd thrives on It.
Milk well rubbed into tho wood
mnkes n good furniture polish also,
keeping tho shiny surfaco in good con
dition. You do not need frequent
treatment. At housecleanlng tlmo is
often enough.
So hero nro threo ways nt least of
using tho leftover nnd spoiled con
tents of tho milk pitcher.
How to Freshen Ribbon.
Now is tho time to got tho family
trcasuro box down from Its place on
tho closet shelf nnd tnko an account
of our stock of ribbons nnd laces and
other tidbits which come In handy
for trimming tho children's school bats
or adding u fow touches to our own
lnst yenrs chapeau. Many of tho old
ribbons may bo used to very great
advantage if they nro properly fresh
ened. Wash tho ribbon in warm soapy
water. Do not rub tho soap on tho
ribbon, but rinse tho ribbon In clear
warm water and then roll It round u
ulass bottle which lias been covered
with a soft limine!. Tho gloss nnd
pretty finish of tho ribbon will bo
spoiled If it Is pressed with the warm
iron. The drying over tho glass bottlo
will mako It look almost as good ns
new.
How to Press With Paper.
When you nro nbout to press n pleco
of silk or of ribbon, to make an uu
qunlllled success of it place a pleco of
slightly dampened wrapping paper
over it before Ironing. Tho pnpor Is
something that Is always on hand.
Thereforo It Is not much trouble for
you to do this, nnd when you see tho
result of your experiment, no vestlgo
of lint on your Ironed piece, a nowlsh
EtltTucss to the fabric and a perfect
ploss, you will nover depart from this
rulo.
How to Make Buttonholes Strona.
To mako tho buttonholes strong In
children's clothes work over ordinary
soft wrapping string. Hold It on the
inside as near tho edgo ns posslblo nnd
it will not show when tho buttonbolo
is finished.
How to $have Easily,
A razor will cut moro rendily If It is
dipped lu hot water just before it is
used.
HOW TO CARE FOR SILVER.
Too Much Ocourlns Will Wear Out
Plate nnd Means Netdless Work.
While all honiemnkers take genuine
pride In the handsome nppearnnce of
their table sliver, many llnd the euro
of It a burden and give themselves nn
unnecessary amount of labor over It.
The weekly cleaning, which Is a bug
bear to many housewives. Is not only
needless, but it real harm, since con
stant scoiirlni; will soon wear off sil
ver plate and has an appreciable ef
fect even upon solid sliver. To avoid
this It is hoped that the following
hints may prove helpful to some house
keepers: silver In tlnllv use should be washed
as soon ns possible after leaving the
tnble. following Immediately nfter tho
glasses In the process of dlsuwnshlng.
After n preliminary rinsing to remove
loose food lay aside nny stnlncd pieces
for future enro nnd Immerse tho rest
In a pan of clean, hot. soapy water.
Wash such pieces ns need It with n
soft cloth nnd place them nil In nnotli
or pnn of hot wntcr to which n tnble
spoonful of nmmonln nnd a dash of
soap have been ndded. Wipe tho
pieces directly from this wnter with
out drnlnlng them. Plenty of dry. soft
towels nro required. Follow this by a
rub with cbnmols skin or soft flannel,
rubbing briskly, but not heavily
enough to bend the handles.
Take the stained pieces next. Egg
stains are removed with wet snlt. oth
ers with whiting moistened with nlco
hoi or nmnioiiia. After nil stnlns hnvo
been removed wnsh nnd polish pieces
ns nbove. Two coarse, wide mouthed
pitchers will bo found n convenience
In wnshlng silver. Soap should never
bo rubbed directly on tho silver, but n
strong suds should be mndo with tho
sonp shnker. This program may seem
somewhat elaborate nt first, but If per
slsted In It enslly becomes n habit, and
the result Is much moro thnn worth
tho trouble.
For tho grand denning chooso n
clear, dry dny. Provide yourself with
n convenient tnblo covered with oil
cloth or papers. Have whiting, sifted
three times. In a dish before you, n
small bottle of alcohol, one of nm
monln. a soft brush, flannel nnd cot
ton rags, chamois skin nnd plenty of
tlssuo paper.
IJcgln with tho small pieces nnd sep
nrato tho sets. For tho most part n
rub with n cloth dipped first In nlcohol.
then in whiting, will bo all that Is need
ed to clean, but If tho nrticles nro
much stained mako n pasto of tho
whiting nnd nlcohol nnd npply thickly,
allowing It to dry on. After this clean
ing rub nil tho nrticles llrst with old
llnnnel, then with chamois, using the
brush to remove tho whiting from the
ornamental work. In case thoro nro
obstinate stains which do not yield to
this trentment a competent authority
ndvises touching them with oxalic
ncld. wnshlng It off Immedlntely nnd
then rubbing ngnln with tho whiting
nnd nlcohol. Oxalic ncld 1h n poison,
nnd nil duo precautions must bo ob
served In Its use. If tho spot looks
dull nfter tho add has been used rub
It hard with a flannel nig moistened
with sweet oil nnd dry whiting.
After everything is shining nnd clean
nil that which Is not in dally uso
should bo put nway In ennton flannel
bags, onch contnlnlng a small bit of
camphor gum. It Is nn ndded pro
tection nlso If ench pleco is previously
well wrnpped in whlto tlssuo paper.
Parallln paper Ih excellent for wrap
ping, ns It helps to excludo gns. which
is tho greatest household agent, cither
coal or illuminating gas, In tnrntshlng
silver.
This thorough cleaning should not
hnvo to be dono oftener thnn onco or
twice n ye.r If tho pieces to bo put
nwny nro properly protected nnd tho
dally caro outlined nbovo Is bestowed
upon nil the nrticles in dally use.
How to Clean Bagdad Run.
It Is very dltlleult to wash n Ilagdnd
couch cover or rug successfully. Tho
colors me almost sure to run when
treated In tho ordinary way. Heforo
beginning operations separate tho
strips. Then wash each one lu n sep
arate water. Use whlto soap and luko
warm water to which a little salt has
been added after a suds has been rais
ed by brisk stirring. Do not rub tho
strips on n wiishboard. but merely dip
them Into tho water nnd stir them
briskly, then quickly rinse them and
hang them over a tiotbeshorso In tho
kitchen nwuy from the sunlight. Ho
careful when drying Hint the strips do
not overlap. When almost dry press
out the wrinkles with a hot Iron. If
tho middle strips have become slightly
worn exchange them with those on the
outside when sewing tho cover togeth
er again.
How to Cook Pumpkin.
The beht way to cook u pumpkin u
to set it In u tin and then place it di
rectly In tho oven without nny other
preliminary treatment than a light
washing with a wet vegetable brush.
Hake It for an hour or more, according
to tho size of the pumpkin. When it
Is done open the steam end nnd re
move the seeds. The liml will peel off
as though It were to much paper. As
n tlmo nnd troublo saver there is no
better way to cook a pumpkin.
How to Have Pins Handy.
A pincushion on tho wrist Is a con
venience to the small dressmaker. It
should be a small, soft cushion, at
tached to an elastic band Just snug
enough to wear on tho left wrist. No
stopping of work Is then necessary to
look for a pin.
How to Renovate Scratched Paint.
To remove scratches on paint mudo
by scratching matches rub with a cut
lemon.
HOW TO MAKE A RIFLE FIT.
Havo tho Tnnos on the Framo Bent
Down to Get the Rlnht Drop.
Compare the rllle and the shotgun
belonging to the same man and you
will almost Invariably llnd the rllle has
much less drop of stock than has the
gun. This Is due to the rllle makers
not wanting to carry n large assort
ment of rllles fitted with stocks of dif
ferent shapes, perhaps following tho
Idea most people have thnt it sholgun
must lit, but any old rllle Is good
enough.
And thnt Is whnt most of them get.
rays a correspondent of Recreation;
nlso If you'll wntch the owner handle
the gun and tho rllle you'll And thoro
Is a big difference. With the gun built
for him ho keeps his head up nnd his
eye on tho target. With the rllle ho
puts his head down nnd hunts for tho
sights nnd even then complnlns of
overshooting. It doesn't occur to him
thnt this Is due to tho too high modem
front sight nnd the too straight stock.
There is ono way to remedy this
latter dllllculty without giving up your
Inst cent to have a special stock built
for you. Simply hnvo tho tangs on
the rllle frame bent down until you
have the drop that yon want 1. e., the
ono that brings tho sights In line so
that you wouldn't be bothered whero
you wouldn't sco tho sights, but could
sco the outline of the game.
I have had this dono on several of
my lilies. It cost something less thnn
$1, nnd lnst fall every guldo nnd nn
tlvo from New Ilrunswick to the
Smokies thnt saw nnd handled tny
38-55 II. V. wanted It. They nil spoke
of the way tho sights aligned, but
they didn't know why they did. I be
llovo It will pay any hunter who Is
troubled with overshooting to look into
tho mntter nnd see if ho can hnvo his
rillo altered in this wny.
HOW TO LEARN TO FLY.
Several Schools of Aviation Hava Been
Started In Europe.
Whero can I buy nn ncroplnnc. nnd
whnt will it cost mc?
Now mnchlnes cost from J.1,000 to
$7,WK). nlthough tho Snntos-Dumont
Dcmolscllo can bo bought for $1,200.
In Importing mnchlnes Into this coun
try there nro cxtrn chnrges, duty,
freight, etc., which nmount to CO per
cent of the orlglnnl cost. So much for
tho machine.
Rut this is not nil. You must bo pre
pared to tnko lessons In flying nnd
spend ns much tlmo ns mny bo neces
sary to become proficient. Mr. Far
man has said thnt the aeroplane break
ago made by tho nverngo mini In learn
Ing to fly nmounts to nearly $2,000
nnd thnt to nvold dangers nnd to pre
vent accidents n mnn should hnvo nt
least sixty trips In tho nlr under the
instruction of u competent teacher bo
fore he dikes control of tho machine
himself. .

HOW TO KEEP HAIR IN CURL.
Ono Woman's Wny, by Which Sho
Can Defy Fog, Mist and Rain.
Most women ngreo with the ancients
In thinking that thoso whom tho gods
lovo havo curly hair, nnd It Is per
baps becnuso they want to seem to bo
favorites of tho gods thnt so many
women curl their hair artificially. The
fog, tho mist nnd tho rain nro then
looked upon ns tho evil genii of nature.
Tho women who hnvo found n wny
to combat these unkind Influences by
keeping their hair In curl even during
.Innip. humid weather aro frequently
regnrded with envy. Yet to do so,
snys n woman whoso naturally straight
locks never conio out of curl, Is a slm
plo mntter.
This woman keeps on her dressing
tnble In nn nlr tight Jnr the whlto of
nn egg, diluted with wnter to threo
times Its bulk. Then nt night, prepara
tory to curling, sho pnsses n comb
saturated with this mlxturo through
Its length.
As soon ns this Is dono ench strand
Is twisted tightly like n cord and
wrapped around u curling kid.
