Care of the Hands. If you wish to keep your hands soft and white keep a jar of almond meal on the washstand. Oatmeal and even cornmeal will do Just ns well. After washing the bands in aoap and warm water rub the meal on them generously. This will keep the hands wonderfully soft and white. For stains and obstinate spots keep a cake of toilei punihe stone on hand and nib the spots with this and they will quickly le removed. Dry every part of the hands on a soft tewil and then rub in a good cream that you find agn~with your skin. Many |>eopis think that the winier time is the only time that one should apply cold (team to the hands, hm this is a mistake, for one washes the hands so many limes a day mat most of the natural oil of the hands Is removed, ami this should be replaced by ir.us.-agir.g them wit! cold cream When the hands a'* wrinkled from long Immersion in the water rub them with ilnejur bciore washing them.

Co'd Boded Ham. A good slice of cold boiled ham is enough to animate the ribs of death but how orten it luetes of ihe rusty ' skin In which it was cooked. Firsi ! scrub the ham. using plenty of boms water and a scrubbing hr neb. Thi* ; will in no way iniure the meat lliuse it thoroughly and put whole into a j kettle of lukewarm waier. J.et it j took gently until the skin can be re- ( moved. Take it o.tt and with » shaip i knife remove the skin, then put the ‘ ham into fresh boiling waier. Cook it ! until tender, hut not enough so it I will fall apart. Put it into a large j dripping pan. sprinkle lightly wiib j sugar and store the fat to tee ruble i a checkerboard Insert a few cloves Frequently baste the ham and let it , brown slowly. Remote from the oven and let it chill. A ham may te garnished and sent to the table whole, if one has a proficient carver, otherwise it is best to s’ice tie meal In the kitchen before it is served.

To Sweeten Rancid Butter. Deal the butter in a sufficient quantity of water, into which lias bet u mixed 25 or SO drops of chloride of lime. It is not injurious and may safely be used. This is a sufficient amount for two pounds of butter. I/>ave for an hour, cover with fresh water and pat the butter to wash out ail rancid water. The butter will be fresh and sweet. To keep butte. - fresh place a hag of coarse salt on the bottom of a stone crock; put the butter into a doth and lay it on the salt: cover the Jar and keep in a dark, cool place.

Carmine Ink. A good rat mine ink for drawing pictures on place cards is made in this manner: Take a little carmine and mix with dissolved gum arabic and add aqua ammonia. When too thick dilute with ammonia. It will flow freely while writing. Blue ink Is made with ferrocyanide of Iron, commonly railed Chinese blue, obtainable at any drug store. It is ground with btnoxolate of potash and diluted with water. Usually gum arabic is added to all inks for decorative purposes.

Oven Shovel. A common shingle will be found a great convenience for taking hot pans from the oven. Cut the thin end six inches wide.. From the end cut i handle stx Inches long by two wide Bore a hole In the handle and hang It back of tile stove where It will always be ready for use. G't Rid of Mice. Une fornmldelmle In the house freely. It wi’.' not hurt anything. ! Then sbut ll'c borne up tight for j half a dnv. The mice will leave. A Cruel Inquify. “I'm suah,'' said iHiollie Softleigh , with a drawling lisp, "that I don't , anon- what I shall do when I get out if college. Mothah wants me to be i a ir.lntthtab, but I have a leaning loud litratchah." “Dirt you ever think of becoming an , actress?" she asked cruelly.

•h ♦ ♦ Ca-e cf the Eyee lo Necesosry for Heclth as well as 'or Beauty —Never Tamper with the Eyes, j they are the moat delicate I organs of the Body. i

An old /toman poet begins his first book by the confession that It whn bis Cynthia's eyes that first took him captive, untouched as he than was by love. Here is only a typical lllutlratlon of the power of a woman'a t-ye, • hovild she not then devote some thought and care to its beauty and Its health? Yet her first thought must be a negative oue: Never, never tamper too much with the eyes: they are the most delicate organs of the body. Do t»c< put patent "dropa" tn them when they ache or are tired; do not-neglect to wear glasses when you need them; do not go far treatment to an optician, bat lo an ooullsL Never read when lying down, or in a dim light, or unless the light comes from over your left shoulder. All this la an old story to most of us; but same of us seem to need its telling still. Judging from what I have seen women do to those precious eyea of thelra. There are. of course, simple washes which will not hurt the eyes. Weak black tea is one; roaewater and plantain Is another! for irxfi&.’omallon; elderberry water for Itching. Dotted veils are a curse to the woman whotte eye* are weak; but it seems Impossible to convince women on this wore Rubbing the eyes It another bud practice, remember the okt advice —“Never rub the eyes with anything but the elbow.” This, of course, doe* not include the very' beneflclaJ circular maaaage for crowsfeet. Kyelashes which are too thin can be thickened by painting them with vaseline, using a small camel'i-hair brush Clipping is a dangerous method; about half the time the (dipped hair never cornea back. Color icg the eyelashes is also highly dangerous; It is only too easy for the hnrm/ul dye to get into the eye Itaelf. Treat your eyes well and they will repay your efforts; eye strain lead* to headache, nausea and nervousness, and a consequent loss of beauty through loss of health. Besides, the eyw directly contribute to the beauty of the hole person by the expression nnd charm they give to the face. I.ook people straight in the face, simply and honestly; never make any conscious effort to attract attention by your eyee; and you will find that, properly cared for, they will be. and be recognizeA as beias, the glory of your countenance.

If Your Skin Is Dry. If your skin happens to be dry and harsh have you tried the soothing fend smoothing effect of the so-called Greek bath? That was a favorite remedy by modern beauty doctors.

BADLY COOKED DINNERS. Olive Green says They Are the Cause of "Blue Mondsy.” Every employer of labor 1b fatnllicr with the phenomenon of "blue Monday." Not merely the manual laborer, bet the clerk, and even the grnvu and consequential superlnter.dent, generally comes to hts work crosv and wellnlgh uaelee* cm Monday. Everything goes wrong on Monday. Why Is It? Generally the phenomenon 1» attributed to the fact that the «nploye has tired htmbeif out getting rested on Sunday. Olive Green, the celebrated author of the cook books, has a different theory about it, which stie maintains in her latest volume. "Everyday Dinners." She says that It Is the awful and irregular Sunday eating that makes all the trouble On week days we eat a light luncheou or none at all. On Sunday, at an unaccustomed hour say 2 In tbs sfLernoc-—we eat a heavy and generally badly cooked meal, which we never get over until about Tuesday mornirtg. The Monday morning headache, universal from the Atlantic te the Baclflc, and the aUday Monday grouch, is a direct result of the dts Jointed culinary programme of Bunday In Miss Grean's opinion, If Sunday were a day of fatting Instead of a day of feasting, Monday would be a day of radiant amiability. There may be something in this theory. Try the Sunday fast on yonr mother inlaw, and see If she does not smile all day Monday!

One of the prominent women in fashionable circles here complains that we are growing lax in our table mannerr. "We are becoming too free and easy,” she says, "and women are to blame. They no longer are dignified and restrained at the table. It is the exception now u> see a woman who does not slip an elbow to the side of the table and carry herself as if it was the proper thing to do.” There may be good reason for this woman's plaint, still It seems we are not beyond redemption in thl* respect. Indeed from some points of view we seem to be improving, for in a book of etiquette, published iu London 300 years ago, these rules, ere set forth: “Every gentleman is expected to clean his spoon on hts bread and to refrain from picking his teeth with his knife, and from nibbing his teeth with the tablecloth. A lady shall neither dip !rer hsh nor her meat into the salt cellar, nor get her thumb into the wine. The Golden Wedding. The decoration for the beautiful and rare golden anniversary can be planned as described for the silver wedding with the substitution every where of gilt for stiver. It causes great amusement 1? the bride and any of the former bridesmaids who happen to be present wear the gown* worn at the original cere mony. Some one of the eldens should read a paper of reminiscences of the earlier day bringing in the changes that have occurred in transportation, manner of living and thought since that thnn. The former groom migh: reed s poem coon meniora ting tiie happy event of 50 years ago, and the bride should cut a huge cake with the familiar emblem of marriage, splnsterhood and the like buried in It.
