WOMAN AND HOME

HOW TO HANDLE THE FORK AND SPOON.

KNIF5,

Brlnsfne Up Children—Furniture of the Sitting Kooin—What Remedy?— Punctuality—Caro of Closet#—Care of the reet—Stocking Mending—Items.

To begin with, we know that the knife never should lie used as a medium of conveying food from the plate to the mouth then the very naturalness and ease of the movement suggests (what table etiquette demands) that, the fork be raised laterally with the right hand-»Hiever twisted around so as to bring the points of the fork at a right angle with the mouth. To do that an awkward wrenching of the elbow is necessary. Happily In this instance the easy and natural way is the way of "good" society.

Among the refinements of this general idea we class the taking but little food on the fork at a time, moderation in this respect being regarded as decided evidence of good breeding and neat habits.

In considering the sf-oon all authorities agree that it is to be used for soup, strawberries and cream, melons that are too juicy to be eaten with a fork, preserves and al kindred dishes, including the Roman punch that forms so agreeablo an incident of the well equipped dinner table.

With those who practice the last limit of •felegauco" each cover is accompanied by two urge silver knives, a small silver knife and lfork for fish, an oyster fork, tablespoon and three largo forks. In the center of this armament is tho napkin, in the clean folds of which is wrapped apiece of bread. As each plate or cover is used the accompanying knife, fcrk and spoon go with it. Tho law has it that fish must be eaten with silver teiifo and fork. Most "made" dishes can and should be eaten with the fork, but when it comes to roast beef and the like, of course the knife, also, is indispensable.

Between dinner proper and dessert everything on tne table save the cloth must be removed. Then ench sitter is provided with a dessert plate, spoon, knife and fork. Fresh fruits, such ns apples and pears, should be peeled with a silver knife, quartered and conveyed to the mouth with tho fingers. It is also necessary to peel oranges, but it has of Into come to be regarded as a good thing to bdopt tho Spanish fashion of having them peeled by tho servants and served on a silver fork, tho handle of which serves as a convenient means for getting at the fruit Fashion as well ns good tasto requires that grapes be eaten behind tho half closed hand, letting the skin fall into the hand unnoticed and dropped thence to the plate.

Unless the salad bo cut up before it is brought forward, both knife and fork are esKmti.nl, a fact that is too obvious to require elaboration. This necessitates a salad knife and fork in addition to the equipments already listed. Tho fact that saltcellars are now plnced with each plate makes it permissible to serve oneself in this particular with tho knife.

For the black coffee after dinner the tiniest of spoons nrt used. Some conscientious lawgivers linve so piofuiully felt their responsibility ns to carefully instruct us to guard against putting tho spoon too far into the month. Particularly has the s»up spoon its rocks on which it may be wrecked, one of which is the hissing sound that often accompanies soup taking, and which excites tho amnKemcut of tho well bml diner out.

We are told that there are always persons Jiappy in their fashion of eating as in everything that falls to them to do. Refined manners nt tablo are regarded as infallible proof of innate politeness or of early good Breeding.—Detroit Freo Press.

Bringing ITp Children.

"Who," says Herbert, Spencer, "wlien watching a mother snatch up a fallen little one, has not often traced, both in the rough mmmcr and in ho sharply uttered exclamation, 'You stupid little thing!' an irascibility foretelling endless future squabbles!" Who. again in may be asked with even more force, has not recognized in tho obstinate and perverse ways of man}' parents and grandparents the effective instilling by example of tho exact contrary, of the lesson constantly repeated In precept? Tho blindness of somo of this matter, writes Richard A. Proctor, is so strango that it is apt to provoke a smile even when rousing just indignation when its consequences are considered. I have heard a per* son proclaim loudly tho perfectly preposterous principle: "Children must be mado to obey you must never yield to them it is the only way to make them docile and yielding." The child is told day after day to be*yielding, but hour after hour the grown folk' who wearisomely iterate precepts of docility teach tho child with tenfold more efficacy by example to bo obstinate and even violent

I have heard tho mother of grown up children say: "I never yield to my children in anyt hiticr I

was

resolved to make them yield

to me in all things, or I would know the reason why," her voice raising in angry tones a* tho molt? thought of opposition to her will arose in her mind, and one could aw in the inflamed face and angry eyes the evidence of the defects which should have been controlled in herself before she could hope to correct them, even by the most careful training, in aach of her children as inherited like defects from her. It never occurred to her, apparently, that setting an example of obstinacy and even of increasing violence was not quite the best way to correct the children's tendency to the same faults. A complacent assurance prevailed in her mind that by setting an example of obstinate perversity she could certainly train her children to bo kittdly and considerate.—OixkI Housekeeping.

furniture of the Sitting Kooin. The furniture of the sitting room may not be as elegant as that which adorns the parlor, but it should be neat, and at all hazards comfortable. Low chairs should abouud, and each member of the family should have his and her particular seat and cosy nook. The •swing machine, when not in use, should be draped with a pretty table cover and rotted back out of the way, the mending basket and stocking bag should have their corner and book where they need not be too apparent If there is no regular library iu the house, part, at least, of the books should be here, arranged on low shelves where they will be conveniently at hand wben pauses occur in the regular work. One shelf may be appropriated to *he children's school books. Endless searching aud hurryiugs will be spaml by having a fixed place for tbeae. What pictures are on the walls should be good. Cheap and tawdry «*h: aos or lithographs __ are far inoreof a disfigurement than an orna-

to look limp and dingy as soon as the starch is out of them. Figured China silk is very pretty, although perhaps not as serviceable as the Madras goodun soft neutral tints. These, even if they fade a little, will still be harmonious in tone', and can be freshened at any time by being taken down and subjected to a thorough shaking and beating in the open air.—Christine Terhune Herr.ck in Harper's Bazar.

What Is the Kennedy?

A single man? with an income of from f1,500 to $2,000 a year, can live well and dress well. If properly started, he can have au unlimited amount of social gayety, and an occasional bouquet or a bonbonniere at Christmas is all the return he is expected to make for the innumerable hospitalities received. Now, supposing that he is sufficiently in love with some girl to be willing to surrender the greater portion of his little comforts to the desire to make her his wife, is he likely to find her willing to accept him? Most prolmbly not! And if she should accept him, have her education and training been such as to make her a helpmate to him? Again the answer is a negative. In considering the wherefore of these negatives, the second principal cause, before stated, is naturally reached.

The society young lady wants to begin her married life on the same scale as that on which her parents are ending theirs. Her parents pet and indulge her in every way, her bachelor friends adore her and she receives almost as much worship as did a goddess in the days of Greece and Rome. Very probable sho is pretty, highly educated, accomplished, bright aud attractive—a delightful partner for a dance or a flirtation, and very likely an excellent wife for an extremely rich man. But ask her to come down from her pedestal, to be tho helpmate of a mau of moderate means, to cut herself loose from the acquaintances that can only bo kopt up while she is wealthy, to share in his struggles and to rise or sink with him, and she will, most likclv, politely and firmly refuse.

It is difficult to foresee what the remedy for this state of affairs will be.—The Epoch.

Habit of Punctuality.

It seems to me, however, this habit of dilatoriness could better be mastered in youth. Punctuality should be one of the virtues grounded into children while they are receiving their moral, intellectual and physical training. School teachers do attempt this for their own comfort and the discipline ot their scholars, but the parent can render great assistanco, too. They can begin to form tho habit which will generally stick through life while yet their offspring are too young to come under the teacher's care.

Hours should be set for doing certain things about the house and children should be compelled to adhere closcly to the rules. For instance, the hour for rising can be unalterably fixed the little ones can be compelled to appear at table promptly and to retire at a certain time. If this custom was established in every household there would be more promptness later on when these children must face the stem realities of life and when they will realize, too late, that "time and tide wait for no man." Then there would be less necessity for those ironclad rules which are now posted conspicuously in every great establishment and the infractions of which are visited with heavy fines.—"Observer" in Philadelphia Call.

Don't Hear Everything.

The art of not hearing should be learned by all. It is fully as important to domestic happiness as a cultivated ear, for which so much money and time are expended. There are so many things which it is painful to hear, many which we ought not to hear, very many, which, if heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from contentment and happiness, that every one should be educated to take in or shut out sounds, according to hi3 pleasure.

If a man falls into a violent passion, and calls us all manner of names, at the first word we should shut our ears and hear no more. If, in our quiet voyage of life, we find ourselves caught in one of these domestic whirlwinds of scolding, we should shut our ears as a sailor would furl his sails, and, making all tight, scud before the gale. If a hot and restless man begius to inflame our feelings we should consider what mischief these fiery sparks may do in our magazine below where our temper is kept, and instantly close tho door.

The art of not hearing, though untaught in our schools, is by no means unpracticed in society. Wo have noticed that a well bml woman never hears a vulgar or impertiuent remark. A kind of discreet deafness saves one from many insults, from much blame, from not a little connivance in dishonorable conversation.—Treasure Trove.

Proper Care of Closets.

Closets are not only useful but a necessary part of a house. Many housekeepei-s think that there cannot bo too much closet room provided. There are many things which are properly put into closets, and other things which should never go into closets. Of such are all soiled undergarments. Clothing that has been worn should not l»o hung away until properly ventilated. In this way two fertile sources of bad odors in closets may be excluded. Many hang their night clothes in the closet during the day. This also should be avoided unless they have had a thorough airing before being hung. If the closet does not admit of a window, the door should be left open for a few hours each day to admit pure air. Some persons have ventilators placed just over the door, bnt the outside air, if admitted for a short time every day, will purify a closet where only clean clothes are hung. No matter how clean the clothing in the closet may be, if there be no ventilation, tho clothing will not be what it should.— Detroit Tribune. ,v* ,««£ —TT~1 /ft vs

Care of the Feet.

A few drops of extract of white oak bark in the morning foot bath, with a pinch of boracic acid, will go far to harden tho feet, and bathing at bed time with pure alcohol will quickly remove soreness. But shoes must be looked ta Corns and bunions come from friction and unequal pressure and it should be known that shoes loose enough ta permit the foot to slide about in them are even more likely than tight ones to produce these troublesome growths. Shoes should fit exactly a desideratum more easily found wben they are made after the anatomical pattern than any other way. Tbey should be quite heavy. Very light boots are good enough to dance in, but for every other purpose the soles should be thick enough to protect feet from small stones or accidental Mows. Heavy shoe* seem tiresome to walk in at first, but after a few days the feeling of comfort and security that comes with wearing them is so great that they are rarely

wben the conversation drops or she is unexpectedly confronted by the necessity for keeping the ball in motion herself. It demands tact to touch upon the ordinary events of the day in a mixed company, because nothing should be said that can hurt any one's feelings—politics, religion and the stock market being ruled out nor should one talk about that which everybody knows. No one wants to be told what he already understands nor should one's health, servants, disappointments or good deeds be put on parade.—Detroit Free Press. -*.

How Girls Mend Stockings. In a gronp of girls the other day, says a seashore letter, some information in the stocking mending line was astonishing. The conversation turned upon the really disgraceful way in which the fingers of silk gloves and the toes of silk stockings wear out nowadays. These were three young ladies away from home without maids. They were asked bow they managed. Miss No. 1 for answer pulled off her slipper and showed her advanced views of darning. There bad been a good sized round hole. She had taken a needle and thread, run around the place, gathered it up and fastened it in the middle, making the most ridiculous lot of radiating puckers, rather worse to wear than the hole. Bad as this was, she dared No. 2 to show her method. No. 2 held back, but finally yielded, and behold! on the heel of this young lady's stocking was a hole neatly stopped with a postage stamp.—Chicago Times.

Lightening the Drudgery

To lighten the drudgery of the kitchen care has been taken in late years to make the utensils that are used there as light as possible, consistent with the required strength. The iron stove handle has become hollow, and the metallic shell made with many holes, and this is a sample of the saving of weight and material that prevails in all stove furniture and in tho utensils that one uses in kitchen and pantry. Tin kettles and saucepans may be had in place of iron light tables, tubs, coal scuttles, pails and so on are preferred, and hence the market supplies them. All this lightens the burden of the plodding housewife or her kitchen servants and probably saves the flagging strength of many.— Gkod Aousekeeping.

True Conrftga* 1*^*

In courage the ordinary woman greatly outstrips the ordinary man. Whether it be reckless, unconscious or sublime, the element of personal courage that affects a fit at the intrusion of a mous? knows no fear in the face of real danger, A lady who woidd not venture from her rural front door alone was often met abroad leading a 3 year-old child by the hand. When asked if she considered the infant's presence a protection she said: "In a measure, yes for when I am alone I feel that I have no right to be away, and would run from a shadow but if I were attacked with this child I would defend it to the last." Some persons will account for this on maternal instincts. But the lady was not related to the child and she was unmarried. —Augusta Gazette.

Good Suggestions for School Children. In school work we should require (1) a comfortable temperature, and especially let the feet be kept warm and dry (2) good ventilation (8) loose clothing (4) erect posture (5) little study before bi*oakfast, or directly after a hearty meal none at all in twilight or lato at night (6) great caution about study after recovery from fevers (7) light abundant, but net dazzling (8) sun not shining on the desk, or on objects in front of the pupil (9) light coming from tho left hnnd or ,left and" rear under some circumstances from in frori'l (no light from the right of the pupil permitted): (10) the book held at right angles to the line of light, or nearly so: (11) frequent rest by looking up (12) distance of book from eye about fifteen inches.—Dr. Lincoln in The Sanitarium.

Food for Children.

Ordinarily, a weaned child, 1 year ola, requires for its breakfast about half a pint of milk and a tea saucer half full of mush. Somo children will need more than this, in which case may be given a small piece of bread and butter and half of a well baked apple, if fruit ngrees with the child. For the noonday meal, a small potato, or its equivalent in mush or bread and milk, and fruit. The same amount, or less, for supper. All fruits in their season are allowed children after they are 1 year old, if they agree. No sweetmeats of any kind sbon' 1 be given. This same kind of fare should I continued with little chango until tho child is 10 or 12 ycai-s of age, about which timo the bony structure hardens. The less meat children under 10 eat the better.—Demorest's Monthly.

English Working women.

A computation just mado on good data shows that there are in England now about 3,1)00,000 workingwomen, of whom one-half are in domestic service* further that half the working class families in the country are partly or wholly maintained by women, who are widows, or the wives of sick or drunken husbands, or tho daughters of aged, afflicted or dissolute parents, and that most of these latter work at extremely low Wages.—New York Post.

To Remove Blood stains.

Blood stains can be removed from an article that you do not care to wash by applying a thick paste made of starch and cold water. Place in the sun and rub off in a couple of hours. If the stain is not entirely removed repeat the process, and soon it disappears. —Boston Transcript.

When Making Cake.

In lieating cake beat from the bottom of the mixing bowl with a wooden spoon, bringing it up full and bigh with each stroke, and as soon as the ingredients are fairly and smoothly mixed stop beating or your cake will be tough.

To ltemove Grass 8tains.

To remove wet gnus stains on white goods with water, rub in some soft soap and as much baking soda as will adhere let stand half an hour, wash out in tiw usual manner, and the stain will generally be gone.

In boiling meat for soup use cold water to extract the jukes, but if the meat is wanted for itself atom plunge into boiling water at once.

To remove mildew rub common yeflow soap on the damaged article and then sift some starch on that. Rub well and pot out in the sunshine,

To pack a trunk fold each article fiat without wrinkles. More can be prcsnd into a trunk flat than in bundles.

Use a heated knife to cut hot bread and the latter will not be soggy.*

Tailor Gowns, House Dresses and Traveling Costumes for Early Autumn Wear. An Elegant Model for Dinner Dress of Moire and Lace.

The cut here presented illustrates an elegant toilet of black moire antique with bluck lace drapery, a toilet at the present time exceedingly fashionable and likely to be in style for some time to come.

XOIRK TOILET WITH LACK DRAPERY. Attention is called to the very graceful arrangement of the drapery, the high collar and elbow sleeves, all of which may be copied in dresses of other material than is here represented. The manner of dressing the hair with jeweled pins and ornamenting the arras with bracelets shows other features at present fashionable among ladies in society

Gowns for Antnuin.

The following points nbout tho gowns in preparation for the cool autumn days are furnished by Harper's Bnzar:

Smooth cloths will bo used again for dressy suits, two colore in rather marked contrast appearing ill one costume. For thesa combination cloth costumes the lighter color will be used for tho lovrer skirt and vest, with a dark basquo and drapery the trimming is braiding on the vest and lower skirt of the dark color used for the upper part thus serpent, green cloth will be draped over a skirt of gray cloth which is elaborately braided with green like thatof the over dress another gown has a skirt of tobacco brown cloth with a polonaise of dark blue cloth, and the braiding on the light brown vest and the skirt border is of dark blue like thatof the polonaise. Wheu a jacket is added it matches the color of the upper part of the gown small mantles aud still smaller shoulder capes are made of combinations ••of tho two colors softened by the use of braid in complicated designs and of fringe ma^le of the braid. Pinked edges are agaiu seen on imported cloth gowns, forming side bands, y&kes, borders and vests, made of alternating rows of, dark and light cloths, as pansy color with fawn or Havana brown with cactus red.

Plain aud plaid cloths will be seen together in autumn gowns, with the basque of tho plain smooth cloth and the skirt with its long drapery of large plaided softer twilled cloth. For those who prefer that tiie greater part of tho dress should be of plain cloth the plaid is confined to the lower skirt and is only visible at the foot and up each side and iii tho middle of tho back between the plain drapery, which may lie in points or in square cornered long ends.

For gowiw of one color for traveling in tho early nutumn are gray, Gobelin blue and fawn colored cloths, trimmed with Bengaline of she same shade or with braiding. A dark gv: 7 blue cloth of simple design has 11 the front of the skirt below its short ripron heavily braided with black braids of three different widths put on in an intricate arabesque design. The br.squo has no vest, but the braid forms a iu back and front, which widens liko a yoke at the top.

Rough cloths for autumn gowns are in zigzag stripes, crossbai's and checks of vague, indistinct colors prettily blended. Very dark diagonals of rough surface have various colors blended, while the Isle of Wight serges are smoother, yet of most distiuct twill, and are of a single color.

Coat basques, with long square side pieces low on the hips, arc being made by French modistes for demi season toilettes. These are completed with a vest and heavy lace jabot in Louis Quatorze fashion.

Dresses for Little Glrli.

The illustrations show a dress with blouse for little girls, made of different materials. One is of blue foulard patterned with white, and a corresponding chemisette, while the other is of white and red brown woolen crape, with collar and cuff* of darker velvet.

ALL AROUND THE HOUS&

In Case of Fire In the House. If the following sensible advice by Mr. A. W. C. iShean, on the subject of how to act in case of lire, were always followed, disastrous consequences would doubtless be lessened:

Fire requires air therefore, on its appearance every effort should be made to exclude ah* by shutting all doors and wiudows. By this means fire may be confined to a single room for a sufficient period to enable all tho inmates to be moused and escapc but if the doors aud windows aro thrown open the fanning of the wind and the drought will instantly cause the flames to inereaso with extraordinary rapidity. It must never bo forgotten that the most precious moments are at the commencement of a fire, and not a single second of time should be lost in tackling it. In a room a tablecloth can In? so nstd as to smother a large sheet of flame, mid a cushion may serve to beat it out a coat or anything similar may bo used with an equally successful result. Always endeavor to attack the bed of a fire if you cannot extinguish a fire shut the window, and bo sure to shut the door when making good your retreat.

A wet silk handkerchief tie.1 over the eyes and nose will make breathing possible in the midst of much suioko, and blanket wetted and wrapped around tho body will enable a person to pass through a sheet of flame in comparative safety. Should a lady's dress catch fire let tho wearer at once lie down rolling may extinguish the ft-e, but if not, anything, woollen preferred, wrapped tightly round will effect the desired purpose.

How Collars and Call)! Are l'oiished. Gloss is imparted to collars and cuffs in steam laundries by passing them between two hot revolving cylinders under heavy pressure. Where this machine is not used suitabio polishing irons and the expenditure of physical strength in bearing down upon and vigorously rubbing the linen, probably account in tho main for the polish. Whatever preparation may be used in starch, good "polishing" with a smooth iron is needed to bring out tho gloss. A laundry gloss said to impart, good polish to shirt bosoms, collars and cuffs, is made as follows: Melt slowly together two ounces of spermaceti ami ono ounce of white wax. When cold add a piece the size of a pea to sufficient starch, made in the usunl wav, for a dozen bosoms.

Effective Wall Curtains.

a4r

The new wall curtains for use behind pinnos, upright or square, sofas, etc., ure of some rich material as satin, pougee velours or the like, ornamented with embroidered or plush bands. They may be hung on brass poles. Quite good effects are obtained by using a curtain of this kind for the back of a mantel shelf.

JFrench Drapery.

A Revival of Unique Draperies Time Fnrnltnra. In old time furniture a favorite ornamentation consisted of small raised figures on a mere shell of brass, such as rosettes, lions' heads, etc. -After going out of fashion, these are again returning. According to The Decorator and Furnisher, a decidedly pleasing application in chair backs of dark wood is the attachment of one of these ornaments to each extremity of the flowing top rail, where it expands in circular form. Bead work in brass is also being used for moldings in cabinet panels.

T1»o Perfection of Cold Tea. Tho fashionable llussian tea is one or the most grateful and comforting of hot weatherbeverages. This cold water tea. or Russian tea, is usually niadp by steeping tea in boiling water in the usual way and setting it in ice. This gives the astringency that is pleasant when hot with cream, but to many tastes very unpleasant when cold.

As good authority as Catherine Owen ufllrins that there is better and easier way to make it, viz.: Four hours before you require tho tea for use (or over night if you choose), put four teaspoonfuls of tea into a pitcher, pour on it quart of cold water, cover and set it in the ice box. It does not sound as if good tea could be made with cold water, but this ia the jierfection of cold tea, fragrant without the least bitierness and of a beautiful amber clearness. Sweeten liko any other tea. A little lemon juice and a slice of lemon in each glass, makes this the "Russian tea."

Mrs. Cleveland's Hrown Dread The recipe which Mrs. Cleveland, wue oi the president, good uaturedly wrote for a church fair in Washington is as follows: One bowl Indian meal, one bowl rye flour, one bowl sour milk, one large cup molasses, one tablexpoonful soda, one tablespoonful salt. Steam two and one-half hours, and bake from twenty minutes to one-half hour, depending upon beat of oven. sa^rV,

Borax for the Boffldo Moth. Those who have battled successfully with the terrible carpet bog or buffalo moth, say that they use borax unsparingly under carpeta, ta corner* «f rooms and in wardrobe doieta.

COMPARISON SOLICITKD.—A wise discrimination should be exercised by all who take medicine. The proprietors of Hood's Sarsyprilla solicit a careful com-' parison of thiB medicine with other blood purifiers and medicines, being confident that the peculiar merits of Hood's Sarsaprilla are so apparent that the people will unhesitatingly prefer it to any other preparation. Hood's Sarsaprilla is not a mixture of molasses and a few inert roots and herbs, but it is a peculiar concentrated extract of the best alterative and blood-purifying remedies of the vegetable kingdom. The enormous sales of Hood's Sarsaparllla, and the wonderful cures effected, prove even more than has been claimed for this medicine. If you are sick the best medicine is none too good. Therefore, take Hood's Sarsaparllla.

Give Them A Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thousands of little tubes ana cavities leading from them.

When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do, they cannot do well.

Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one suro way to get rid of them. That is to take Boschee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell to you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else had failed you you may depend upon this for certain. jy'2-eow.
