ahe had visited who waa not convinced
that the Uvea ahe and her country wo
men lead are superior to those led by
the women of other nations. They aeem
to have rtn nowtr of reasoning, nor to
be able to contemplate any other outlook
than-their own. Their bralifs have
never been developed and have, no doubt
become circumscribed. An English girl

Expensive Piecrust.
tiX PAID 15 for a recipe for piecruay
I said a woman who Is interested
in household economies, "and
confeis I am afraid to try it, in case I
may lind I have been taken in by my
last shrewd and wily cook. Bel ma, you
know, was a treasure, as far as her
cooking was concerned, but with Bea-
rlce married and Jack in college and
lobody at home but my husband and
myself, I felt that 40 a month waa
too much to pay her; besides, she had a
notion that 1 could not very well live
without her. and consequently literally
ruled me with a rod of iron or, possl-
Diy, i snouia say a roiling pin.
"As her month's end .reared. I told her
I wouldn't require hetlany longer, but
when the eventful day, of '-her departure
arrived I recalled the' fact that I had
not learned her secret of making pie
cruet. To ask her for It then would
have been tantamount to not receiving
It, ao I had to make some plausible ex
cuse for asking her to remain another
day- In order to obtain It But clever
Selma, I think, suspected something,
and with many apologies and depreca
tions inrormea ma tnat ner plans were
such that she could not change them
and remain unless I was willing to pay
her $6 for the extra time. I rebelled in
my heart against this, but memories of
her flaky piecrust brought ma to terms,
ana i gave in. .
"During that expensive ' day aha Im
parted to m her secret boiling water.
Now, I never heard of boiling water be
ing used for piecrust, but Selma attrlb
utea the toothsomeness ot her to th

on a floured board. I am literally dying
to try It, but I confeaa I am- afraid, and
almost prefer risking possible aucces
to being obliged to confeaa that I hav
been taken la by my Swedish cook." .

THE MOTHERS' CORNER
T
Causes and Treatment of Colic.
HESE are some of the questions
wnicn occur to every young
mother:
What la the cause of colic?
Can anything be done to pre
vent nT-
How can a child be relieved when
suffering from an attack of colic?
Colic generally means a painful af
fection of the intestines, but the name,
with certain qualifying adjectives, is
applied to other painful troubles. There
is, beside the pain, sometimes more or
less spasm of the bowels. The causes.
as far as applied to infants or young
children, are usually connected with the
aigestive process, such as inaigesuon
irom improper or excessive food or
drinks, constipation, fermentation of
food producing gas, etc.
Tha usual almoin and effectual reme
dies are the following: Heat the feet
and bowels; the heat should be as great
aa can comfortably be borne, but short,
or course, of a dearee tnat wouia aam
age the skin. If there be gas in the
stomach or bowels, a change or posi
tion, such as putting the child's eSom
ach downward on the hot application,
together with rubbing the abdomen,
front and back, often seems to favor the
escape of the gas, with relief from pain.
If the gas be in the lower bowel it may
escane if a Soft tube, such as a larsre
catheter, be passed into the bowel.- So
also a warm enema may aia mo ex
pulsion of the gas. Internally, hot wa
in, either alone or with carminatives,
auch as a few drops of anise cordial Of
peppermint, will be found useful. If
the pain is severe, small dose of para-
gorlc, proportioned to the age of the
child, may be given.
To Cure Ringworm.
Ringworm ia due to a vegetable para
site which grows upon the akin, it
may easily be contracted from a cat or
dog suffering from tha same sort of
skin disease. Painting with a tincture
of iodine will probably cure in time,
but a quicker and an equally harmless
cure is found in the antiseptic tablets
(a preparation of corroaive sublimate),
which may be bought at any drug store,
Be sure to dissolve the tablet In plenty
of water, and be also sure to-keen the bnt.
