Unless the weather is very damp, tn the morning each counterpane, blanket, dtieet, pillow and bolster should be re moved oud spread where they may jjt-t the air and sun, and allowed to remain tus for at least an hour. If possible turn the niattrewi before mpklng ihe bed Pgaln. Put on the lower sheet, tuck It In at the head, smooth It evrywhe ith the hands to get out the wrin kle; tuck It In at the foot, then ono side, then the other, being careful to put It well under the mnttress and not the spring. Next spread the epper -sheet, oud do be sure It is tucked snug ly under the foot of the mattress ( nothing la more uncomfortable than to have the covers loosen from the bot toin op 3 cold night). The b'ankets are followed by the counterpane. Have these perfectly straight, tuck In at the foot, turn over evenly at the top and tuck In the sides ; or, If your spread is fancy one, let It bang loose. 8ome like the turndown made before the spread Is brought up. Place the bol ter In position and the pillows neatly Tipon It to suit Individual taste. When performing this Important part of a day's work do not forget to have the mattress level at the start, or your bed will not look straight when fin ished, In spite of your best efforts. Have you ever gotten Into a bed made up by a careless maid, perhaps In' a hurry, when you were not feeling well? No? Follow this advice, and your fnm . ily.'as well as friends, will agree there Is an art in bedmaking. There Is noth ing worse for the nerves than to He on e, wrinkled sheet. The Kitchen Sink. A true housewife should take the greatest pride In her kitchen sink and eep it spotlessly clean. The easiest and best way to clean a galvanized Iron sink which has been more or less neglected Is to rub strong soap powder Into every corner and over every Inch WARM of surface. Let it remain on for ten or fifteen minutes, then with a stout brush go over the whole, dipping the hrush into boiling water. When the sink Is thoroughly scrubbed, polish it with kerosene, rubbing the oil into the iron and leaving the residue of grease behind. The kerosene prevents it from rusting after the strong soap powder and boiling water are used. Care must be taken that the painted wood work around the sink does not come into contact with the powder, as It may eat off. the paint The kitchen sink should be cleaned as thoroughly 8 this twice a week, and every day carefully rinsed out with hot soap suds. Alwaya Handr. The woman whose time is valuable, ftut who desires everything to be neat nd trim, will nlwuys keep on the pin cushion in her sewing room e needle threaded with white thread and ono threaded with blnck, so she can sew on buttons and hooks and eyes In a hurry. Often when dressing a button or hook Ibeiomes' loosened, and it can be re nin ed in a minute's time if one has the threaded needle on hand and does not have to look first for the thread "nd then for the needle. " Immune Asralnat Typhoid. The War Department has conslder 1 the advisobllity of immunizing sol diers against typhoid fever by vaccina tion. It has decided that inoculation s a preventive against typhoid has been so thoroughly demonstrated in foreign countries and its efficacy so well established that the vaccination method Is to be adopted In the United States Army. - Husband and Wife. No man yet was ever made more teuder by having tenderness demanded of him ; no man yet was ever cried into loving his wife more. I am willing to admit that men are as faulty creatures s women themselves, unsympathetic In small things, often blind, and that they may easily be exasperated Into small brutalities of speech. If a woman refrains from exacting devotion, and Is unswervingly kind and unselfish, a husband who has any affection for bis wife at all can be left to Im.b nnt tr doing his share. He will look out for it anyway ; no one else can make him. Neither tears nor entreaties will wring from him those small kindnesses and attentions so dear to women. A Wife in Harper's Bazar. Undoubtedly the high rooties are go ing out as fast as they came In and satin folds and crushed ribbons are being used Instead. The shawl collar of satin la again brought Into a season of usefulness and even silk collars are worn. They are found upon the coat and are dressy in every respect. Paris predicts that the huge sweep ing brim on hats will have to be cur tailed, and in Its place will come the narrow one with the high crown of the Henry III. period. Tailored girls are wearing blaok satlu stocks, which are passed twice around the neck, Inpplng in front with a handsome buckle ornament. The ends, of course, have fringe on them. Although black evening gowns are popular, says a report from London, soft white satin promises to be the favorite fabric for dance and dinner dresses for girls aud youthful matrons. Fancy braids are shown in bewilder ing assortments that will find place upon the late winter dresses and suits. COSTUMES IN TWEED AND CLOTH. Unlike the prim braids of the present period, these little braids will be found useful on waist outlines. Never has so much red been worn in the hair as this season. Flowers, or ribbon, It seems to make little differ ence, as long as the shade Is there. The Greek key design developed in soutache upon velvet is used largely to outline certain details of the heavy street garment that is worn without a cout. Embroideries carried out in a won derful variety of metallic threads, In cluding not only the more ordinary gold and sliver, but also copper, plati num and aluminum, will be a feature of the most elaborate evening gowns this winter. On the front of a one-piece dress the bodice was decorated In a very novel manner. On one side were buttons of white pearl, while elongated white but tons were stitched on the opposite or left side at the waist The two fronts, however, were separated with a small ornament of braid. . The He Goaalp. A child who, glowing with sudden in terest, cried out: "Mother, why did you marry father?" and was answered with, "Because I was born on the 7th of March, my dear," grew up Into a happy, natural Inquiring man. His young mind, says the New Tork Even ing Sun, was not stunted, be was en couraged in his questions, shown what a surprising thing an answer might be. and now he is a delightful gossip and attributes his talents entirely to his early training. . Wranf Way to Iron. It would be such a satisfactory ar rangement if all of the right people could read about the wrong way to iron, but all the wrong people are sure to read what they already, know, and the only hope Is, therefore, to have them pass It along to the right people. A skirt may be perfectly made as to cut and finish, and a plain shirtwaist may be an absolute fit and so easy to Iron that "any child could do It" Yet some laundresses without that cer tain appreciation of the cut of gar ments and the weave of goods will invariably iron them bit or miss, run ning the iron on the crossway or the bias of the moist material, thus iron ing the twist in permanently if the bias method has been employed, or shortening the garment perceptibly If It has been done on the cross weave. It is positively easier for a laundress to Iron "with the goods" if the little trick were made plain to her. Muter Year Moods. Conquer your moods. Don't let your moods conquer you. Feople who give way to moods never amount to much because they are never masters of themselves. They never know in the morning whether they are going to do a good day's work or not. whether they are going to be a cheering or a depressing influence on the people around them. If they feel like being good tem pered they will be. If they feel like "snapping" at every thing they will snap. People who suffer from moods should be careful about their habits. They should be regular about meals, sleep, exercise and work. The condition of the health has much to do with moods, and there Is noth ing that contributes so much to health as absolute regularity. Dandruff Cnre. Get a quart bottle German rhln wine; take a teaspoonful and rub It well into the scalp once every week. This will cure the worst form of dan druff. Dry the hair with a coarse towel, don't use artificial heat; don't use water with the wine. Repeat the above until the scalp Is white, clean and healthy and dandruff gone. Sham poo your hair once every week and" use the wine the following day ac cording to directions. You should never use salt In water with . soap when shampooing hair, it prevents a thor ough cleansing, causing the dirt to cling to the little beards of the hair and make it sticky. For Yonr Oily Skin. Bathe In water hot as you can bear without burning, In which you dissolve one tablespoonful of borax or bicar bonate of soda. Use this at least five minutes; rinse in tepid water, then with a cloth wet with alcohol rub your skin thoroughly and let it dry. This treatment will thoroughly cleanse the pores of the skin. Happy Man. It is surprising how little money a man can get along on when his family needs it all. "Perkins looks very hap py these days." "He has reason to," Brown replied. "After his wife and children had been fitted out with their winter wardrobe he found there was enough left to have a new collar put on his overcoat" Life. Neglecting- the Ere. Neglect of the eyes may result not only in poor sight, but in a poor skin. Neglect of the eyes, weakening of the eyes, causes wrinkles, screws up the face in a most untieautiful fushlon and adds scores of tiny crowsfeet about the face and forehead. Do Not Allow Stooplnar. In childhood and girlhood lounging and stooping are too much allowed, just as they are with our boys lu public schools., Fencing is a cure for this de fect Fencing teaches grace without stiffness, whereas drill falls in the lat ter particular. -' Cleaning; Carpets. Carpets should be beaten on the wrong side first and then, more gently, on the right Never put a carpet down on a damp floor, for this often results In the carpet becoming mildewed. i t ROF. W. I. THOMAS of P of an article entitled "The Psychology of Woman's Dress," In I which he analyzes and discusses motives underlying the femi lii' i nine portion or nunianuy s lore or arena ana decoration. Arter illustrations of the passion of humanity, both male aud female, for adornment, Prof. Thomas comes to the discussion of the reasons why men and women cloths themselves. "Clothing," ! VI be says, as distinguished from ornament and dress, "had a particular devel opment In cold climates." Then be proceeds to tht effects of clothing. ' "The clothing of women," he says, "when it was developed to the point of covering her whole person, took on an Interest of Its own, but It had ths disadvantage of obscuring the figure. This difficulty has been met by fash ioning the clothing on lines which Indicate and even emphasize the outlines of the body." After dwelling la detail on this point he says that "the In genuity of man has found a place on woman's dress for every object worn by savnge man, and for those for which no other place was found he has de vised the hat" Pointing out that "as society advances there is a tendency in man to give n$ ornament and in woman to take on more of it," the professor finds that "woman, limited In her Interests by the proprietary tastes of man," finds "her occupation is to charm." "Fashions are made by dictators, and womeu do not wear what they want but what the manufacturers and tradespeople want them to want The people who supply them also control them." He proceeds to show how one desire for fluery gratified becomes the cause of further luxuries. "The baffling array of silver at the twenty-course drnner and the costly box at the opera are equally a part of woman's dress," is one of his illustrations. And he asserts: "This situation is the despair of man, but it is 'society. " After alleging that "the most romantic periods in history are those char acterized by tight lacing and purposive fainting," Prof. Tiiomas continues: "The role of "half-angel and half-bird' is a pretty one, if you look at It In that way; but it denatures woman, makes her a thing Instead of a person. It leaves society short-handed and the struggle for life harder and uglier than It would be If woman oieratel In it as the substantial and superior creature which nature made her. We have a machlno-made civilization, which has Introduced class inequalities, hatred and suffering unknown In savagery or barbarism. We are wealthy, but not humanized. Man is pur suing business on the same pitiless principles that he formerly pursued game." And his conclusion is: "But there is no use trying to talk fashions down. The change will come gradually, as women become more intelligent and In dependent and of themselves experience ths expulsive power of a new affection.'" The Dlaarnoals of Tnberenloale. To the casual observer it may seem strange that physicians often find It difficult to determine whether a patient Is or is not suffering from consumption. The cough, the emaciation, the hectic fever and the night sweats seem to be sufficiently characteristic of the disease to render Its recognition easy, even to the non-medical person. And so, in deed, it is ordinarily in these advanced stages, but it is very different at the beginning. Every one knows that the earlier treatment is begun, the more likely is It to be successful. It Is ex tremely important, therefore, to be able to detect the very beginnings of con sumption while yet the person is appar ently in almost perfect health and here lies the difficulty. If there Is no cough, no beetle flush, no undue perspiration at night, and If examination of the expectorated mat ters does not show the presence of the tubercle-bacilli, the only departure from health being perhaps a tendency to fever after exercise, some loss of flesh and a rather rapid pulse, the experi enced physician may suspect a begin ning of tuberculosis, but he would be rash to assert It as a fact Within' a year or so several new methods of detecting the disease In its Inciplency have been devised, and one at least of them promises to be of great practical utility. These methods all consist In the use of tuberculin, but they differ In the mode of application of this substance. It has been known for years that the injection of tuber culin will be followed, if the subject is tuberculous, by symptoms of ''reaction," that is, by fever, headache, pains In the bones, and other signs of malaise. But this method has never found favor among physicians generally, because of the belief that it is dangerous. It was very dangerous as formerly used ; large doses were injected, and the reaction that followed was at times very severe, and In certain cases it was known to have rekindled the disease in persons In whom It had become quiescent, and who were practically cured. It was also feared by some that the disease might be caused in one of weak resist ing powers by inoculation with the tuberculin. These dangers do not how ever, exist, now that the substance is nsed in very -small doses, and In a form containing, as it does, only the glycerin extract of the tubercle-bacilli, and never the bacilli themselves. Never theless, other more simple methods have now been devised, and are used in pref erence to the Injections of former days. These methods will be described In a future article. Youth's Companion. Are Yon Afraid to Take Chances T Many a man falls because he does not dare to take risks, to take the Initiative, When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure incon venience and privation. There never was a time when the the University of Ctilcscm th. .,thr. quality of courage was so absolutely in dispensable In the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courase von will nr get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator. If von lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there be cause they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others. Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. The Meaaee of a Wood Famine. To-day to supply public needs, and to fill their own pockets, individual ex ploiters are sweeping away the forests three times as fast as they grow. This means that many of the hard woods are already gone ; that the total supply of hard wood, which used to furnish the better-grade furniture, fittings and so on, will be exhausted, for commer cial purposes, within fifteen years; and that the entire wood sunnlv of the country will not last longer than tweu- ty-nve or inirty years. , It is as though some foreign Invader, or some deadly pest, should suddenly appear on our shores and 'ravage the entire forest area of the country, at the rate of two States a year, udtil every tree were gone. Do you Imagine for one Instant that as the years go by your Interest in this great question will become Jess vital, or less personal, than It Is to day? Success Magazine. Travolta on Hla Own Hook.
